The city election passed off very
quietly as there was but one ticket III

couple of dark horses along toward the
end of the day, but it didn't pan out
very well.
Bishop Mallalieu spoke on the edu-
/ catiOnal interests of the Methodist
church last night in Goodland, and

treat.-Burlington Republican.
Hon. Fred Yearick was in from his
ranch near LaBIanche, Tuesday, and
brought THE REPUBLIC piece of stove
| wood that he grew on his claim. The
stick Of box elder is four inches in
| diameter and was cut from limb
! Fred says that he has bought his last
| ton of coal.
Messrs. w. Stevens, L. Whistler and
and H. Dresser, from four miles south
of Goodland, brought their wheat to
| the Burlington mill last Thursday. II
is certainly a good thing for our mer-
| chants when farmers from the immedi-

An old-time fake was worked off on
the people last Saturday. One of those
artists who sell you an article, then
give back your money and quarter
besides did the business. He caught
| several for a few p1unks, but the ma

town to beat, and if the fakir didn't
lose more than $50 he can call himself
lucky.
The mystic brutes that once claimed
the prehistoric bones found in the
brick yard for frame work have been
named. They were an extent species
or peccary and lived some 5000 years
ago. There is breed of this animal

are much smaller. Professor Willitson
of the State university, has purchased
the relics and will mount them at the
State university at Lawrence.
The number of red foxes in Missouri
is increasing very rapidly. In some
places there are enough to do consider
| able damage to crops. There is no
known reason for this increase except
that fox-hunting, which was at one
time the most popular sport in the
country, died out to large extent on
account of the scarcity of foxes, and
has not been renewed. 1t would not be
at all difficult now to find the animals
and that, too, within very short dis
tanee of st. Louis.
Its a cold day, indeed, when Good
land doesn't make some bid for noto-
riety. She stole Rainmaker Mel
bourne;s secret and uses-it to her own
advantage and profit, her papers adver-
tise with pride the Wickedness of the
town, her best men own running dogs
and sshoot craps she sells rotten
whisky and entertains a Methodist
conference, she elects Populist officers
and throws the patronage to Demo
crat paper, and now she boasts of the
discovery Of prehistoric animal, part
snake, part beast and part man, 10 feet
long and as a COW with an even dozen
of legs each ending with a hand not
unlike that which holds the bottle
while man drinks. It's teeth are like
those that cause so much pain in the
human family and the extremity OF
the jaws are adorned with four tusks

sent for to settle the dispute as to
whether it is the remains OF Sherman
