iy in q time like that as he ever does in this life. Witeher had his mind made up what to do by the time he was over death before he could do 1t.
 "The foremost of the herd, an old bull, came upon him and gored his horse to death almost instantly. Witeher was an athlete and as quick as cat. He ieaped upon the back Of the buffalo and graspd his shaggy mane with both hands. That only ae- ceierated the speed of the buffalo, Witcher realized that he had saved himself for the time being. But he heard the snorting. believing. infuria- ted stampede behind him. His animal might be run down, or he might lose his grip and fall to be trampled un- der hundreds of feet at any moment. Pandemonium on foot was gaining On him. He had to do some more quick thinking. He knew his only solution was for his buffalo to fall back to the rear. And this Is how he did,it:
 He had n long knife, such as the '4sers carried in those days. He man. aged to get 1t out. and hanging on for life with one hand he reached with his knife one side of the neck of the buffa- 10 and slashed into it. The animal leaped like a maddened devil at the thrust and witcher held on like tick on a country dog. Quicker than 1t takes 10 tell 1t he changed the knife to the other hand and made slit on the other side of the animals neck. The blood spurted from both sides and stained the ground over which Witch CT was going at rate that was too much for his comfort. But very soon the animal commenced to weaken.
 Slowly he began to fall back, and finally all the others had passed him in the race in which he had had the send-off. The animal fell and Witcher jumped from the back of the buffalo which had saved his life. Under any other circumstances to have killed that which had saved him would not have been like Witcher. But this was case where 1t admitted of no sorrow. A man would kill a dozen buffalo In those days to save his own life"

It is accepted that eiabora- ton on hats for city wear in, the hot weather is not the thing. the butterfly hat Is for butterfly place. and there is no help for the poor butterfly that fits down the promenade these warm days. The leghorn trimmed with ex- treme severity and worn well on the forehead is seen with strictly simple gowns on the city street. One with wide brim. the crown bound with black velvet band, black wing on either side and spreading bow of the velvet in front. was worn with a tai- lor-made pique in white with white gloves stitched with black. white parasol and plain. white canvas shoes.

IS THIS DEBS, COUyTRYp


 Tomorrow We shall come to the day set apart for celebrating the Declaration of Independence and for calling special attention to the theory that this is q great, glorious and comparatively free country. There will be the usual noise, we suppose, and the usual manifeSta- tions of patriotism. But many thought full ones will ask themselves and each other if the celebration really means what it ought to and what it once did. At this very time, devoted to magnify ing the independence and the power and the glory of the people of this country, President Debs and his followers are seeking to destroy all independence and make the country stfbservient to them. Ostensibly they are philan- thropically laboring in behalf of some workmen who could not get the wages they wanted, but really they are en- deavoring to abolish freedom and inde- pendence and set mp new and des- potic government. If Debs and his gang can succeed in getting control of all the railroads of the eeountry they will have good start toward complete domination of other interests. If they can make Pullman open his shops and give those who work in them more than he can get for their work they will make Pullman their slave and also make him poor. If they can so work with Pullman they will do the same thing with others until all business is under their rule or until it is annihilated. There will be no freedom of action and no independence. Those who work will have to take what Debs says they must or go without anything. He will be the boss and unless he knows how to use power better than his present antics indicate he will be a hard master.
 The time is ripe for new Declaration of Independence in this country. There should be declaration of independence on the part of the workingmen who, have followed foolish and wicked labor leaders to their own undoing, and who in obedience to the commands of those leaders, have lost more money in strikes and boycotts than they would have lost had they wisely accepted the re. duotion of wages which depres. sion in business has made nee. essary. And there should be declara- tion of independence on the part of all who are menaced by the new tyranny. If this country can't be kept out of the hands of such men as Debs the old Declaration of Independence will lose its glory and the Fourth of July will become satire. The question to-day is whether these are the United States or Debs' States.

There doesn't appear to be any nat ural connection between beer and an- archy, but it is interesting to notice the present occupations of the Chicago anarchists who were pardoned by Gov ernor Altgeld. It appears that all of these men, except one, now own pros porous saloons, and the one exception has half-interest in saloon, which he attends to when he is not engaged upon the paper in which he advocates anar- chistio principles.

When paper horseshoes werc first jn- troduced into the cavalry service of the German army few years ago they ex- cited good deal of interest. Several cavalry horses were first shod with the Y,aper shoes and the effect ob- served. It was found that not not only did the lightness and elasticity of the shoe help the horse on the march, making it possible for him to travel faster and farther without fatigue than horses shod with iron, but that the paper shoe had the property of being unaffected by water and other liquids. These new sheets of paper are pressed closely together, one
 above another, and rendered impervi- pus to the moisture by the application
 pf oil of turpentine. The sheets arc glued together by 6 sort of paste com- ppssd of turpentine, whiting, gum and

No intelligent anarchist would do such thing, says Oscar Neebe, speaking of the killing of Carnot. No, adds the Kansas City Journal, "the intelligent anarchists hatch out and secretly dis seminate their hellish doctrines, and some younger and less cowardly convert puts them into practice. The 'intelli- gent anarchists are really more respon sible for such diabolical crimes than the young fools who perpetrate them."

The growth of temperance in Miss
issippi, it is reported, has become SO
marked as to force the fact upon the
attention of the State Government.
The proceeds of licenses for the sale
of liquor have long been turned into
the common school fund. Formerly
this was prolific source of revenue,
but year by year the amount has di-
minished, until Governor Stone warns
the Legislature in his recent message
that 'little can be expected hereafter
from the sale of liquor licenses. -
This result, it is noted, has been
achieved under the operation of laws
"which allow counties to decide fo1
themselves whether they will have
license or not, so that the issue has
never become a disturbing one in
State politics"

The Patent Office is self support
ing institution. The fees demanded
in advance for the examinations cover
the entire expense of making inves-
legations, while the final fees, which
must be paid or the patent will not
be issued, help out the cause to such
an extent that the Office makes about
100000 year over its expenses
The past fiscal year was not good
year, yet there were over $4,000 ap-
plications for patents and over rs, 900
were granted. Some idea of the in

gained from the fact that in fifty
years nearly 100000 patents have
been applied for and over 100000

Final Report of Grand Jury.

To the Honorable Judge of the End District
Court of Louisiana, holding Session in and
for the Parish of Bossier;
We, your Grand Jurors, duly
sworn and charged, in and for the
Parish of Bossier, on January 22d,
1894, beg leave to submit you this,
our final report of our investigation
into the crimes and offenses COM
mitted in our parish, as came to our
knowledge, after thorough and
conscientious examination.
We have examined ninety-five
cases, and have found twenty -four
true bills. Among the cases exam
ined forty-seven were from ward 2,
Of which only twelve true bills were
found. We find great many trivial
cases reported from this ward, and
recommend that the Magistrate t'e
more careful in his interrogation OF
parties who apply for warrants, and
try not to notice doubtful and trivial
cases. We find that the Magistrate
signs blank affidavits and places
them in the hands of the Constable
and he fills in such charges as he
may be reported to him, using his
discretion, where such discretion
should be under the Magistrates
personal and judicial cognizauce.
We find crimes of a grave nature
on the decrease, but we find the
crimes of hog stealing and carrying
of concealed weapons on the in
crease.
We find the roads of the parish
in bad condition, as usual.
We find the Jail in good condi-
tion in every respect, and the priso-
ners we'll cared for. The Clerks
and the Sheriff Is offices neatly kept,
and the books thereof in good con-
dition.
We find the portico in front of the
Court House in a dangerous condi-
tion, caused by the defects in the
construction thereof. and recon-
mend that the Police Jury require
the contractors and builders to recti-
fy and repair the same as soon as
possible.
We tender our thanks to your
Honor, the Clerk and the Sheriff,
for courtesies and prompt attention
to our demands and wants. We
also specially tender thanks to the
District Attorney for prompt coun-
sci in our Investigations of crimes,
and respectfully ask to be discharg-
ed from further service at this time.
