Kansas Politicians in Kansas
City.

Frank j. Brown, of Garrett, Sec
rotary of the Republican state central
committee, of Kansas, was in Kansas
City to-day on his way home from
Topeka. The central committee
meets at Topeka Thursday to see
what it can do toward helping to re-
claim some of the counties where
the Populists predominant and the
name of Colonel Mollie Lease is
held in high esteem. He says the
committee had waited for the state
league but that body did not seem
to have money or disposition to take
the lead. The Rev. Bernard Kelly,
a leader in another faction of the
same party, who is in Kansas City
to-day, expressed the opinion that
the best thing the central committee
could do in the interests of Kansas
Republicans was to adjourn sine die
and go home.
Chester l Long, of Medicine
Lodge, who made the race for con-
gress in the Seventh Kansas district
against Jerry Simpson, is in the city
to-day. He will leave for home to-
night. After his defeat, at time
when his party did all in it's power
to save him, Mr.. Long has devoted
his attention to law, which he finds
more profitable than politics. He
has been at the Worlds fair for two
weeks.-K. G. Star.

Last Friday afternoon a fight

Last Friday afternoon fight
took place between M. L. Wilson,
his son Roy and a young man by
the name of Ashburn on one side
and four Carrier boys on the other.
Stones, corn knives and pocket
knives were used as weapons. The
youngest Carrier boy had worked
for the Wilson's and had not received
as much pay as he thought he ought
to have, which caused the trouble.
Abusive words brought on blows,
and finally the use of knives. In the
melee, old Mr.. Wilson was cut on
the head Unto the brain and other
wise wounded, and on Monday he
died from his injuries. Two of the
Carrier boys are in Jail, and two are
out on bail. We don't know and
don't pretend to say who was to
blame. The court will decide that.

MARCH COMES.
THE MONTH or WINDY, BLUSTER-

March Proverbs and Reasons for Some
OF edictions for the Entire
Month-Plenty of Dust is Looked For.

March is upon us. March, the month
which everybody breads on account of
the cold. clustering winds for which
there seems to be no good reason and still
less excuse.
An ancient Roman phrase, familiar TO
every reading person, says p" Beware the
ldes OF March," but experience has
taught us who live i'm this climate that
we may we'll beware" the whole month,
and 4 cur business will permit, sojourn
In Florida or some other equslly COM
Portable place i'll April smiles unon US
The ld proverbs, March comes in like
a lion and goes out like IA lamb" aud
vice versa, are very familiar indeed. but
perhaps many can remember that there
have been instances when March, to use
an oid-timer's expression, "came in like
hon and went out like the devil"
which tends to dispel The idea that n
clustering beginning of March necessa-
rily means "A mild ending
30 much has the clustering wind be-
come part of the typical March
weather that it has given rise To great

March and rains in April promise great
blessings In May" is one way of ayny
that there must be a certain amount of
rain In the spring in order TO bring good
crop weather. "A damp, rotten
March gives pain TO the iarmers," is
anoJher OF these proverbs which is
fact, for IL the weather is damp in
March before the grass begins to grow,
the effect Is TO rot the roots and make the
hay crop thin. WEere is feeling among
the farmers, and they are good judges of
weather indications. that there should
be good amount of dust blowing in
March, aud that snow Is not the proper
thing for the month, especially as re-
CARDS fruit. Probably the explanation
OF This is that the trees and vines are
tender and snow means cold weather,
which may by freezing the shoots cause
backward fruit crop.
Other Marca proverbs are as follows
A bushel of March dust is worth a kings ramson
harm. .
March grass never did good
Dust In march brings grass and foliage

ANIMALS.

o'"asy Secuitarities.
eome OF the best known animals of
the present day are characterized by
some extraordinary peculiarities.
Strange though 1t may appear. tortoiscs
ana turtles have no teeth, and all ami
mais which chew the cud have clovcp
ieet. Both mandibles of the parrots
beak are r2oveable,~ but most birds are
able TO move one only. The horse has
no eyebrows The appearance of much
white in the eye of horse indicates a
vicious nature. The stork is partial To
kittens AS an article of food, and finds
them an easy and welcome prey, and
the cats reciprocate by love for young
storlSs. The frog, owing to its peculiar
structure, cannot breath with the
mouth open, and II il were forciblv
kept open the animal would die of suf
location. Pigs are poor swimmers. their
forelegs being closely set under
them, and when they fall into
water they very often cut their
throats with the sharp points of their
cloven feet The eyes of hares are never
closed, as they are unprovided with eye-
lids. Instead, therefore, they have a
tEin membrance which covers the eve
when asleep, and probably also when
at rest. The deer is furnished with
supplementary breathing places in ad.
dition TO the nostrils, and this would
appear to be an extraordinary provision
OF nature, giving the beast of the chase
freer respiration. Fishes swallow
their food hastily and without masticar
ton, because they are obliged unceas-
ingly to open the jaws and close the
jaws for the purpose of the respiration,
and cannot long retain food in the
mouth when quite shut The faculty
the chameleon has of changing its
color has been attributed TO the
protective instinct of the animal, by
which IL seeks TO render itself less
observable to enemies by assuming the
color of the bed on which IL lies Sheen

The fat of the tail is very soft and is

the sicac. 1t is said that when the
crocodile comes on shore he opens his
jaws, and this bird enters and swallows
the leeches which are found about the
animals jaws and teeth, and which
have collected there owing to the crea-
ture being SO long time in the water.
The relief afforded by having the
leeches withdrawn induces the croco-
