Three Million Sheep.

To the Editor of the Ne1Us and Co"-
7ier: One of my many hobbies has been
and is that this State should have at
least three million of sheep to Craze the
waste lands that, are eunprohtable for cul-
tivation, thereby adding at least two
million of dollars to our income, but in
stead of the sheep increasing they
have decreased rapidly since the war,
and now there are more dogs than sheep.
While I was member of the Legisla-
ture introduced bill to require the
owners of dogs to pay per capita license
to own dogs, but instead Of my bill meet
ing the encouragement that anticipated

and that too by q Legislature composed
largely of farmers, and ]. found that the
dogs were more influential with the
members than sheep. raised the CRY
of mad dog, that was prevalent In our
country, but not to the extent that it is
now, and the object OF this writing Is to
call the attention Of our people to the
oonditioa of our country. from this
cause. It has been with us 80 long and
so often that there is no telling when
your dog may turn on you.
One of our peighbors' little sons died q
horrible death short time since from
bite by hound puppy that snapped him
on the foot when hydrophobia was not
suspected. And since then cur started
OH rampage and took in circuit OF
about ten miles. He seemed to be very
successful operator, His mania seemed
to be to innoculate his own species,
which he did with single snap. He
came near breaking the heart of one of
my sons-in-law, who owned an extra fine
pack of hounds, by swapping seven

Now will our lawmakers stand quietly

or will they pass such law es will thin

Jodge Aldrich has decided the Dlspen-
sary Act of 1893 to be unconstitutional.
Asa Circuit Judge he recognized that be
was bound by the decision Of the su-
prems Court, and as an intelligent, Inn
partial Judge he acknowledged that the
lawSwas TO be found In the p,inciple an
no1nced By the Supreme Court. That
principle, briefly stated, ia that the Leg
isl14nre has no constitutional power to
confsr upon the State she exclusive right
4 10 carry on tie liquor traffic. The only
question wasswhethe Ter tina ACT Of 1893 was
obnoxious to this principle, and he held
j that In this respect the Act Of 1898 was
1 practically the same as the Act Of 1892.
of this there was no room lor doubt He
knew that upon q constitutional question
The Legislature could not override the
decision OF the Supreme Court, even
tbonghit had enacted the Act OF 1893 after
the decision Of that Court. Gov. Tillman,
{ no doubt. knew all this, but perhaps he
thought ass Governor his conscience was
iiots equally bound by the decision.
Wherefore, to use his own language, she
lid cdt the Act in.the bushes'' until he
thonght all danger was past. But his
smart trick has been exposed in its true
character by Judge Aldrich's decision,
end tho people can now view the conduct
Ssf theirreform Governor in its true light.
Judge Watts, tis said, decided the Act OF
'a3l 70 be Dstitutional, but unlike Judge
sllldrich, he falls to give the reasons upon
which he bases his judgment. The peo-
sjSle can draw their own conclusions.

Paralyzed by Fright.

II. r. Skyles, who was in the Santa re
wreck at Hurdland, Mo-, Sunday morn
ing, made statement to Master Mechan'
ic John Player q few minutes after the
collision which makes it reasonable to
presume that Engineer Humphrey died
Of fright before the two engines came TO-
gether.
AS they were approaching the Hurd-
Ian switch, Skyles moved to Hum
phrey's side of the cab and said: "Was
it not at Gibbs that we had orders to
stop9"
Just then the headlight Of the west.
bound train showed around the curve:
Humphrey said not word nor moved
hand or foot, but looked straight ahead
with CLASSY eyes At the other train which
was moving'at q terrific rate, skyles
spoke TO him again, but still the engineer
did not move and to save his life the fire.
man jumped. The other engineer and
fireman reversed their engine and saved
themselves by jumping.
When the collision occurred their train
was almost at q dead stand, proving that
if Humphreys engine had been re-.
versed at least serious wreck could have
been prevented.
Whether Humphrey was dead or alive
when the two trains collided no one will
oyer know, but from Skyles' statement,
it is certain that when he heard Skyles'
remark ane saw the approaching head
light at the same moment, he realized
that he had done an awful thing and was
paralyzed by It's enormity, If not
actually killed by fright Washington

1t Shook the Earth.

FORT SMITH, ARK, August 19.-Last
night four powder houses of the Speer
Hardware Company, located two miles
from here on the Poteau river, exploded.
The powder houses are total wrecks, A
small cabin near by, the home of Mrs.
Cook, was blown to splinters. Mrs. Cook,
her daughter and an infant were hurled
into eternity.
The powder houses contained 1900
pounds of dynamite and 300 kegs of pow
der. The shock was felt at Van Buren,,
Alma, Greenwood, Jenny Lind, Hack
ett, Kavansugh and many other places
nearly twenty miles away. in Fort

No explanation can be given for the
explosion. It could not have been an
accident, and many rumors are flying
about. One is to the effect that remnant
of the Dalton gang was about to rob the
bank here.

A Light 10 tho North.
Columbia State. liuqust 20.

At Ito this morning the skies to the
north and for two points east and west,
were illuminated in a most remarkable
manner. They had somewhat the ap-
pearance of rejecting the glow from q
great conflagration, but the coloring was
softer and constantly changing. At times
the redish- purple light would fade and
become dim; then it would flash up
again. There were different shades and
the changes were continuous. Streeks of
yellow or angle light, extending from the
lower margin of the illumination, to-
wards the zenith, would from time to
time appear.
The phenomenon was observed in all
the Atlantic States Of the South. From
Washington it had the appearance of
being almost due north, occupying almost
the same relative position from there as
it did from here. The telegraph wires all
over the country and particularly in the
West, worked very poorly and the Off
cials attributed 1t to the effects Of the
atmosphere, supposed to be heavily
charged with electricity. The light faded
away entirely at 2 o'clock this morning.

Bad State Of Affairs, In The State Of
Nebraska.

PLATTsMoUTH, NEB., Aug. .15.-Long
trains of canvas-coYered: wagons pass
daily through this city eastward. They
belong to the army. Of settlers who have
been forced from their homes in western
Nebraska and eastern Colorado by the
unprecedented drouth of the present
season. Many have no particular desti-
nation in view.
Their sole object is to reach some
locality east Of the Mississippi where they
can exc out an existence until another
season has rolled around and escape the
hardships of winter on the prairie.
Since this exodus begun it has been esti-
mated that 70, 900 have left the State. At
Plattsmouth one day last week 800 wag-
ons were awaiting to cross the bridge.
oke, Colo, said that along one stretch of
every half section, and it was only at
long intervals he found one occupied.
Thousands of farm hands are idle, and
there is no other work for them to turn
their hands to.
Every day Of the drouth adds to the
distress of Nebraska's already severely
afflicted corn crop. It has been over
month since the State, or majority of
the counties in the State, have had good
rain and while few districts have been
specially favored and reports from them
are cheering, the prospects for the whole
is dismal. Rain at this late date would
do corn little good, except the very late
planted, which Is scarce. Its next bene-
ficeut effect would: be to improve pas
lures now badly burned up, and get
stock in some sort Of condition to begin
the winter on short rations. Reports for
the past week have been all of one tenor,
pessimistic in high degree.
Experts who week ago figured on
half crop of corn have changed their
estimates to q quarter, or a third, and
even this, in the minds of many, is put
ting it high. There will be No corn to
sell in Nebraska. All will be required
for local consumption.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-Tha reports
to the Indiana State board Of agriculture
do not indicate that there has been any
substantial relief from the effects of
droutb, the rains of Saturday being local
and insufficie to give relief.
Corn in northern and southern Indiana
ON high ground and clay land is 30 badly
scorched that recovery is regarded as i'm
possible, and in such localities the crop
will be failure. On low ground it has
been badly injured by dry. weather, but
seasonable rains might bring it out and
result in good yield. In central Indi-
ana the condition is not SO bad, though
the crop is not expected to reach anything
like an average.

DIR. Pope Appeals to the Voters.

/ DR.. Sampson Pope is in the gubernato-
rial fight to the last. In accordance with
the intention OK pressed in recent inter-
view he has issued ARn- address to- the
democratic voters or the. State calling
upon them TO vote generally at the prd-.
mary and asking his friends to select and
elect Pope delegates. The folio wingsis
DR.. Pope .addresa:.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina: At the primary which comes
off on the 2sth of August you are to vote
for delegates to che convr- !" who will
vote for governor, lisu-a. governor
and other State officers. : time is
short for nominating in each county
delegates to represent you i'm that con-
vention. It is attempted to be held that
these delegates must hle q pledge on or
before the 18th instant. You have but to
refer to the rule on the subject made by
the democratic executive com min1ttee to
see that this is not to be done. "Rule ;:
Candidates for the general assembly and
for county Offices shall, ten days pre-
yious to the primary election, hle with
the chairman of the county executive
committee pledge in writing to abide
by the result of the primary and support
the nominees of the party. Candidates
for State offices shall file such pledge
with the chairman Of the State demo.
cratic executive committee. No vote
for any candidate who has not COM
piled with this rule shall be counted"
;: Now: this refers to candidates for
county and State Offices and not dele
gates to the convention who are not
|; officers OF either. By no strained con-
struction can 1t be made to apply to
them.
I say to my friends all over the State,
select in each county list Of delegates,
vote for them AM elect them and their
votes will be counted in the convention n
or will know the reason why.
The voice of the people cannot be and
shall not be stihed. Forty thousand re-
formers did not vote at the recent prima-
ry. In not voting they put their feet
down on "rings" and on the 18th
of this month they will speak at the
polls. in further condemnation OF such
methods.
Go to the polls on The 2Stb, cast your
votes and see that they are counted, and
within five days after the election let the
delegates get their credentials signed by
the respective county democratic chair
men and forward to the chairman OF the
State democratic executive commit

PANA, Ills, Aug. N.-Judge William
Price married Mrs. Elsie Harrison, aged
SO, to Edward Munday, aged 50, and Miss
Lizzie McDermott, aged 50, to Thomas
Ellison, aged So, at the respective homes
OF the brides.
And behind this prosaic announcement
there is a story. Munday's present wife
was the former wife of Ellison, and Elli-
sons wife was the former wife of Mum
day. Ellison was legally divorced from
his first wife last Wednesday, and on the
same day the new Mrs. Ellison was di-
vorced from Monday and restored to her
maiden name.
The contracting parties are all upon
the best OF terms, and are, in fact, init
mate associates. The present Mrs. Elli-
son made the wedding gown Of the new
Mrs. Munday. and vice versa, and the
weddings were all planned before the di-
yorces we're obtained.
