"Blood to the Horses Brides. ;,

Hon. Davis Ii. Waite. ex-governor of
Colorado, who has caused the corpora
tions and money changers more uneasi-
ness than any man of the present time,
has established a weekly reform paper
at Denver, Colo. 1t is chock- full of
good thoughts and terse sayings OH llv-
ing issues. 1t wonld be cheap at Sl.OO
per annum, but the price IS so cents.
The governor is broad, liberal think
er; he delves deeply and analyses close
ly; he is such a forceful writer that ev-
EN- those who differ delight to read his
paper. He closed one of his recent
speeches with the following significant
paragraph: Our weapons are argu-
ments and the ballot-a free ballot and
fair count. But if the money power
shall attempt to sustain it's usurpation
by the strong hand we will meet that
issue when it is forced upon us; for it
is better, infinitely better, that blood
should flow to the horses brides, rath-
Ell than our national liberties should be
destroyed" Every progressive think
er should send so cents to "Our Ma
TONS Crisis" Denver, Colo.

lie under the trees ready to be gathered,
scalded and planted by anyone wishing
to enlarge his grove this spring.
Grandfather andGrandmother Tatum
have both been somewhat indisposed

ways matter of solicitude to their
acquaintance and especially to their
children who are all aware that at
their advanced age even slight indis-
position may result seriously They
are on their feet but do not feel able to
attend Sunday school. Grandfather
says he does not know just what to
call his ailment but he feels weak and

to explode into fragments and became
invisible. The explosion was not &C
companied with any audible detona-
this couplet from Homer:
And oft before tempestuous winds arise.

William Brown is digging a cistern

soft water to use for washing clothes.
lie has an abundance of water on his
farm for all purposes but he thinks
| cistern water is enough better for
washing purposes to pay all expenses
OF making a cistern to hold it for use
at all times. lie expresses the opinion
that this valley gets as much rain fall
on an average as any locality within
sixty miles of here and he believes as
the people enlarge their orchards and
groves here and in the Strip south OF
here, our rain supply will increase.
There was very slight shower OF
rain here sometime during Saturday
night. just sufficient to start the caves
running.

him considerably, his neck and one

"A. G. Thornley,, who has been here
from Greedy county for the past few
weeks left yesterday. Mr.. Thornley,
owns piece of land south of town and
came here with the expectation of max
ing arrangements to move his family
here and locate among us, but upon
seeing his land he became discouraged
and decided to remain on the plains of
Greedy county. He says he would have
concluded to stay with us had the land
been what it was represented to be
when he came into possession of it,
but as it is, he has a barren tract of
sand and bluffs without water and
very poor quality of grass so that 1t is
of very little value. He traded some
valuable property in Greedy county for
1t and was assured by his fellow-t trader
that his Barber county land had an
abundance of running water, some
valuable timber and especially adapted
to stock and agricultural purposes
When he arrived he found the situa-
ton quite differently, hence his DIS
couragement. Under these cireum-
stances Mr.. Thornley, is not TO be blam-
ed for returning to his first love.
