| The stray dogs taken up by the French
police, according to French journal, are
KILLED and handed over to an enterprising
manufacturer, by whom the skins are
banned by electricity. Instead of taking
Seven or eight months to transform the
skins into leather, as is the case by the
ordinary system, electricity does the work
Ia three or four days. The leather so
banned, moreover, it is asserted, is much
better than that manufactured by the or
binary process, and when made up into
ladies boots and shoes is much admired
Tor its soft and delicate qualities.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Men who have
given the Senatorial situation in the West
and Northwest their attention are free to
confess that the Democrats seem to have
the best chance of electing their candi-
dates. The Populists may get Senator
or two, and il they do the Democrats will
gain thereby. As Senator Sherman said
six weeks ago, the United States Senate
after next March will, 1t seems, be anti
Republican. On the tariff, the Populists
will vote with the Democrats.

A Lame Excuse.

The Tribune took us to task last
week for publishing the results of the
raff1eS on Christmas eve, in a way that
was not at all complimentary to US. We
frankly confess that we owe our readers
an apology for the publication. The
locals were gathered by our new fore
man who was not aware that they tDere
tsnlaicful and were left standing un-
noticed. The matter was more acciden-
tai than otherwise, and the Register is
not allowed any crater privileges at the
postoffice than any other paper-Regis-
ter, of Jan. 5.
An interested public would like to
know WHO is responsible for the
Register? The man whose name ap-
pears at its head as editor and pro-
prietor shifts all responsibility upon
the shoulders of his poorly paid fore
man; does not even recognize what he
afterwards admits to be ''unlawful"
matter when he reads proof; and again
fails to see the same unlawful matter
in his paper when it comes to the post
Office to be transmitted through the
mails, though his eagle eye easily
caught onto "unlawful' matter in the
paper of an unfortunate rival for politi-
cal prefermeut.
Oat upon such feeble attempts to
shift responsibility! Does not Caraway

Hicks For January.

We will name the 3rd to 9Th as Gen.
trail danger days, and admonish all
| whose business requires personal ex-
posture, to exercise all proper watchful-
ness on and about those dates. Biz
yards with sweeping winds and snow
blockades are very apt to prevail in all
parts of the country subject to such
viSitations. About, if not qnite, the
coolest wave of the winter is liable to
| follow during the disturbance of this
period, and to dominate the whole
country in the days following up the
reactionary changes about the 0th and
9th. On and touching these days,
higher temperature, with falling ba-
rometer and storms, will make their
regular passage from west to east a.
| cross the country. Renewed cold will
follow these reactionary storms.
The next regular period is from the
18th to the 18th. Look for return of
heavy storms of rain and snow al this
period, and be fully prepared, as be-
fore, for very great cold to attend and
follow after these storms. In the ma
ture of things these storm -disturban-
ces On our end of the globe begin in ex-
treme westerly, southwesterly and
northwesterly parts of our country and
travel across the continent TO the east.
Blizxards are brewing and gaining ad-
ded power in the treacherous sunshine,
which will sweep up and desolate the
fair north and west. This applies to
all the storm periods i'll the winter, and
ought to be fully understood by all who
live in those parts most exposed to
these dredful winter storms. IF there
be reaction from the great cold to
follow the stoIms of the last period, it

2lst, in which event there will be more
rain and snow, and the regular rush Of
cold will follow promptly up to tie en-

thawing, will admonish of approaching

Pleasant Remembrance.

The children of the late Rev. w. ].
Murphy, through Mr.. c. w. Murphy,
of the Farmers & Merchants Bank,
presented Rev. ]. w. Thompson an
elegant picture of their father, beauti-
fully framed in antique oak, as token
of their appreciation of services rem
dered their parents while living and at
the time of death, and as a remem-
brance of the esteem in which as pastor
and preacher, Mr.. Thompson was held
by the loved departed. AT the time of
the sickness and death of the mother,
Mr.. Thompson was present with his
comfort and counsel, and oficiated at
her funeral services, and though away
at the time of the death and funeral of
the father, yet was privileged to visit
him In his last illness, and frequently
to meet and commune with him In all
his latter years, after coming to Great
Bend. The venerable Father In Israel
seemed from the first meeting to take a
great interest and form strong attach
ment and friendship for Mr.. Thompson
and family, which time greatly in
| creased, and which was reciprocated
and fully appreciated, so that his pic
ture In the home occupies place long
before made by the strong and endear-
ing ties of christian sympathy and
friendship, and common consecration
to the work of the Master in the min
istry of the gospel.

The Woodcock Has the Floor.

1t is worth noting that while the cry
for legislation to secure fair elections"
has been directed by the republicans
against the democrats, and especially
against the democrats of the south,
every notorious conspiracy to overthrow
the will of the people as expressed at
the polls in the last few years has been
made by the republicans of the west or
north.
While uniting in clamorous chorus
of denunciation of the southern demo-
Gratis for the crimes against suffrage
which they are charged with commit
ting, the republicans seem to let slip no
opportunity to defraud or defy suffer-
age if by so doing they think it possible
to score point of partisan advantage.
How does it happen that if the south
ern democrats are the only offenders
against popular sovereignty the only
efforts made to steal Legislatures,
United States Senatorships and Gov
ernorshlps are made by republicans?
1t is the republicans of Connecticut
who have gone farther than their un-
fair law permits them to keep demo-
cratic Governors-elect from taking
| their seats in that state.
It is the republicans of Nebraska
who desperately fought, nOtwithstand-
ing the democratic majority, to bar the
| fairly elected Governor out of his Office
and succeeded in doing SO for long
period of his term.
1t is the republicans of Montana who
are today represented in the United
States Senate by two men whom they
sent there by the most bare-faced and
audacious theft of the Legislature.
1t is the republicans of Montana who
at this moment are trying, by a reyer-
| sal of their former tactics, to again
steal the Legislature and United
States Senator.
| It is the republicans of Wyoming
who are at this time seeking to set at
| naught the will Of the majority as re-
corded at the recent election and to de-
fraud them of the Legislature and a
| United States Senator.
1t is the rpublicans ot Kansas who
! are bending their ingenuity to do the
same which the republicans of Wyom-
ing are attempting.
And, finally, it is republican Presi-
dent who again re-echoes the Pharisees
of his party and calls upon Congress to
| pass Force bill to secure flair ball
| lotn-in the democratic South.
| It is submitted that comment on this
state of affairs be left to the woodcock.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
An Illustration of Its Use During the
Cholera Excitement.

Cholera Excitement.
During the recent popular excitement
and riotous demonstrations in Russia
growing out of the outbreak of chol-
era, priest at Saratoff was attacked by
a mob, says the Manchester Times. A
man had shouted upon seeing him:
There's the man that seized me and
buried me alive. I've only this instant
escaped from the grave that he put me
in" The excited people, thoroughly
convinced that there was a murderous
conspiracy against them, rushed upon
the priest with cries which showed
their determination to put him to
death The priest folded his arms and
smiled. "You have just come out of
the grave, you say?" he called to the
man. "Aye, that have '.Then how"
asked the priest, ''does it happen that
you've had time to get drunk already?''
AS it was found that the mans breath
smelled of liquor the laugh turned upon
him and the crowd left the priest un-
molested.
The same popular excitement in Rus
sia has been the occasion of an exam
pie of what may be called poetic and
picturesque retribution which would be
possible only in despotic country. At
Mini Novgorod, where the authorities
and physicians were making a strenu-
Gus attempt to stifie the cholera, mer-
chant led a violent agitation which was
directed against the doctors. He circu-
lated reports that the physicians were
burying patients alive, and endeavored
to influence the people against them
The governor general of the prov
ince caused the merchant to be arrested,
and after examination was convinced
that the charge against him was true ST
am going to give you government ap-
pointment," said the governor, ''as re-
ward for what you regard as your e@er-
else of public spirit" ga government
appointment said the man, delighted.
Eyes; 1 appoint you a nurse on the
floating cholera hospital in the river.
There you will have an opportunity to
see whether there is cholera or not, and
also to observe whether any persons are
being buried alive" The man was
sent, therefore, to take care Of cholera
patients. 1t is unnecessary to say that
he was not highly pleased with his ZAP
pointment.'
