Jerry's Fair Talk.

A humorous situation occurred q,
the county fair Of Dickinson County,
Kansas, two years ago. The fair
managers were Republicans but they
had engaged Jerry Simpson to speak
on the ground to draw u crowd.
Simpson was to speak at noon sharp.
but he took leisurely dinner and 1t
was nearly O'Clock when he reached
the grounds. lie disdained the speak
er's stand, but mounting dray ordered
his admiring Popullst friends to draw
to the middle Of the track In front Of
the grand stand. 1t was l o'clock
when he commenced talking. and the
races we're to commence at that time
az there was long list to be called
that afternoon.
Jerry began In leisurely manner
and at the end of au hour had only
fairly got warmed up. The horsemen,
who had more interest in the stakes
than In the address, fretted and fumed
and led their Hers up aud down the
track, waiting for chance to start
Still Populism was expounded by the
sockless statesman. Finally the lovers
of horteflesh could stand it no longer
"Dry up!" Get of the track"
they shouted.
Simpson stopped, and, with twink
le, remarked; "Oh, I'm hurting you
Republicans, am Ip'f The crowd yelled
It's appreciation of thp sally.
On he vent for another half hour and
still another. At every interruption
he would refer to the nervous Republi-
cans, until finally the open interruption
ceased, though there was much growl
ing on the outskirts OF the crowd, At
$3.50 he stepped down with the remark,
I'm teach them to book me for a
speech at l2o'clock". -[5t.L Louis Globe

ANOTHER DIVIDEND COMING.
The First National Bank Depositors
Fare Well.

The auction sale of all the remaining
assets of the defunct First National
bank ended last evening. Receiver
Rogers realized about $3,l00 out Of
assets Of face value Of over $3.50, 900.
Everything was sold but the bank
building for which no bid under 81 900
would be considered. There were some
curious values put on some Of the
judgments brought on account of Old
boom time speculation indebtedness.
Accounts of 81 600 to $4,000 went for
IS and 80, some men bidding in judg
ments against themselves and 80 clear
ing up old debts easily.
The amount received added to the
funds already in the receivers hands
will make possible another dividend of
10 per cent, making 80 per cent on de
positors' claims with the hank building
to be yet sold. The stockholders, how
ever, lose all their investment aud
were compelled TO put up 100 per cent
liability besides. The depositors have
Jared well at Receiver Rogers hands
and many others would be glad t.
clean up 80 per cent in cash on wha,
they thought they had FIVE years ago.

There is little reptile belonging in
Madagascar known as the scimitar
snake-that is, the curling sword.
Running along the back from head to
tail is blaekish, horny substance,
which bends with the convolutions of
the snakes body as readily as would
a well-tempered steel spring, and
throughout its entire length It bears
an edge as hard as flint and sharp as a
razor. They are not poisonous, but
when one of them springs on man,
which he is very likely TO do, he will
soon have leg off unless cracked on
the pate. Some snake specialists claim
that the presence of this reptile on the
island is the reason that there are no
large quadrupeds TO be found there at
present, the curling sword in back
ages having taken off legs faster than
they could be created.

BLOOD FLOWED FREELY.
A Sunday Scrap in Which Knives
and Oudgels Figured,

The Sabbath quiet was disgracefully
broken yesterday morning by cutting
and pounding scrape on southside in
which two cOmbatants came near doing
each other up. The trouble was be-
tween an aged man, j. @. Ingram, who
runs the Merchants hotel and Bloom
Swigart, a young man well known in
this vicinity.
According to the reports given by
those who saw part of the trouble
Swigart and twn or three companions
had been drinking during the morning
aud finally not being satisfied SWigart
took 80 cents and went back to the
hotel to get some more drinkables--
presumably beer.
He met Ingram at the head Of the
cellar stairs aud ordered the old man
to hurry down and get the hop tea OF
beer or whatever 1t was to be. Ingram
replied that he would when he pleased
and as Bloom was somewhat intOxi-
Gated then finally refused to sell him
any more. A quarrel ensued in which
SWigart knocked Ingram down. The
old man gathered himself together,
secured knife and went on the war
path, lie overlook Bloom in the alley.
There was another quarrel and Ingram
rushed on his adversary cutting ugly
gashes in his chest and hip.
They then separated, Swigart going
to Kubach's livery barn and securing a
pitch fork handle. Ingram went 10
Woods barn where Swigart soon came
on him and pounded him nearly into
insensibilty with the cudgel before
the onlookers could separate them.
by that time both were badly used
up and physicians were sent for to
bind up their wounds.
Both combatants were able to lie
around town this morning but this
afternoon Swigart was compelled TO 90
TO bed.
Warrants are out for both for assault.
lIgram's case will be heard at 2 p. IN.
tomorrow.

THE TONGUE AND SPEECH.
Imperfect Articulation Rarely Impedcs n
Man In His Work.

For making the and the tongue
has to be partially applied to n portion
of the palate next the teeth. Not
only, however, must the contact be in
complete, but its place is indefinite
may be half an inch farther back. To
make sh and zh the contact has to be
made not with the tip, but with the
upper surface of the tongue, and must
be an incomplete contact. Though for
making the liquids the tip of the
tongue and the sides of the tongue are
used, yet the requisite is not any ex-
act adjustment of the tip, but an inn
perfect contact with the palate, says
Herbert Spencer, in the Contemporary
Review. For the tn tip is used along
with the edges of the tongue, but no
perfect adjustment is required, either
to the edges of the teeth or TO the
junction of the teeth with the palate,
where the sound may equally well be
made. Though for the and d COM
plete contact Of tip and edges of the
tongue with the palate is required
yet the place of contact Is not definite,
and the tip takes no more important
share in the action than the sides.
Anyone who observes the movements
of his tongue in speaking will find that
there occur no cases in which the ad-
justments must have an exactness
corresponding TO the extreme power of
discrimination which the tip possesses
for speech this endowment is useless.
Even were II useful, II could not be
shown that 1t has been developed by
survival of the fittest, for though per-
feet articulation Is useful, yet imper-
feet articulation has rarely such an eff
feet as TO impede man In the main
tenance of his life. II he Is good
workman, Germans interchanges of
BIS and p's do not disadvantage him
A Frenchman, who in place of the
sound of tn, always makes the sound
2, succeeds as a teacher of music or
dancing, no less than II he achieved
the English pronunciation. Nay, even
such an imperfection of speech as that
which arises from cleft palate does not
prevent man from getting on II he is
capable. True, II may go against him
as candidate for parliament, or as an
'orator' of the unemployed mostly
not worth employing), But in the
struggle for life he Is not hindered by
the effect TO the extent of being less
able than others to maintain himself
and his offspring,

One OF the most interesting things
about dime novels and summer litera-
ture is the way they are made. There
is an establishment in New York
which prints 5000 novels an hour.
They have machine consisting of two
cylinders, on each of which IA pages
may be screwed, and as the long strip
of paper goes through, first one side is
printed and then the other, making 1t
possible TO print 2ss pages at every
revolution. The strip of paper, after
being carried over rollers which dry
the ink is cut, folded and brought to-
gether in the shape of a small volume,
with the edges all trimmed. Every
time the great cylinder goes around a
novel is printed, folded and trimmed,
and 5000 of these are turned out every
hour, while, IL II were necessary, 1000
or 5000 might be the quota. The COW
ering does not take long, fifty being
the average for a minute. The paper
costs nearly five times as much as the
printing, and mounts us high as two
cents novel. The whole cost for the
mechanical construction Of these books
is not more than three cents apiece.
The most laborious part is the writing
and reading Of thom.

rapid running to catch Bill Neil. Neil
was at DIR. Gish's south Of town and as
Kieffer drove up TO the front door he
ran out the back. Grant took chase
and across hundred acre cornReld
they went at pace which would have
made the boomers along the Strip
ashamed Of themselves. Grant won,
however, and brought In his man as he
always does. Had he made the same
kind Of time Saturday he would have

ALI Cherokee Strip pilgrims agree
that the opening was badly managed
throughout. The best part OF the
townsites were looted by sooners and
the desirable lots which they failed to
grab were laid claim to by their con-
federates who came on trains, notwith-
standing the legitimate claimants had
made the run fairly ahead Of them.
The example set by the sooners was
