THE OUT-p-DiNNER MAN.
One Who Is Not Brilliant, But Makes
 Himself Useful.

Himself Useful.
 'No," said the slightly cynical bach elor to New York Tribune man, fits not because I am tremendously popu- lar that I get invitations, and l don't consider it such an honor to be invited to dine somewhere every night in the week with half dozen or more invita- tions a week to spare. Why in the world do you suppose they invite me? Well, I am good deal like the fellow who is taken on ship and made to work his passage. He pays for his voy- age with work. work my passage at the dinners. Oh, yes, I do. There's no use in being vain about these things. You see, I'm not married, and there's always some young woman, or old woman, for that matter, who has to be taken care of. Now, a married man is at discount at a dinner. Of course, he takes woman out to dinner, but some man has to be provided for his wife.
 I'm just useful at dinner and that's why 1 get invited. I'm not good-loolz- ing and never said a bright thing in my life, but l can talk a streak of stuff and nonsense that is necessary to keep a dinner going. I'm good natured and amiable. 1 like everybody, and so I get along comfortably with my neigh bors. In mild sort of way, I SUD- pose, 1 am amusing. And then 1 am good laugher. I laugh at all the good things that are said, and at many of them that are not so good. l get in my own little jokes when the time comes, and so we row along through the dinner, l working my passage and my hostess smiling approval on me.
 ''Oh, no, it's not a bit damaging to my vanity. l simply know it's so, and accept it cheerfully. 1 can't dance for shucks, so I'm of no earthly use at a dance. If l were a good dancer I'd probably come in for all that, too My strong point is a dinner, and so I'm wanted there, and not at a dance. It dosesn't wound my vanity bit. 1 en- joy the dinner. Having a lot of pretty women around the table, and listening to them, and talking to them is lots more fun than sitting alone in club with only lot of ghostlike walters tc amuse you. It's Q perfectly fail bargain. I talk and I am sweet tempered for my ferriage, and I get or the ferry good dinner and enjoyable surroundings. That's all there is to it and as for the honor of the thing and all that, there's no more honor in my being invited to dine out every even ing than there would be in going out to fiddle for a party at the regular price. I talk and get my dinner and pleasant company. The other mar gets his five or ten dollars, or whatever the price is, and fiddles."

OSBORN LOSES.
Court Decides That His Rights
 Had Been Compromised.
The Marcus A. Fry Will Case Set for Trial on Next
 April 1.

The case of W. L. Osborn against H. NJ. Donnelly was tried before Judge Baker yesterday and the defendant was given judgment for costs. No suit of the present term has attracted so much interest. Action was brought by the plaintiff 10 invalidate a mortgage for 5000 given in payment for herd of Jersey cattle bought by him from the defendant something more than a year ago. The action included also a claim for damages.
 The cattle were brought here by Don. nelly from Missouri, and soon after their sale to Osborn, tuberculosis was detected in one of the cattle. Soon after, others were found to be infected and within six months nearly half the herd was killed.
 The herd on it's importation was ac- companied by certificate of health from state veterinarian of Missouri, though it subsequently, appeared that no scientific test was made and that the certificate was issued on the gen. erai appearance of the cattle. The veterinarian who issued it came on from Missouri couple of weeks ago to testify to the good condition of the cattle when they were inspected. The plaintiff was prepared to prove by ex- pert testimony that the cattle were not only infected at the time of the impor- tation but that the disease had reached an advanced stage.
 But this feature of the case was not reached in the trial, the defendant claiming that the plaintiff had waived his rights by compromise after the discovery of the disease by which the indebtedness was reduced by $2,000. This contention was sustained by the court.
 In the case of Lee Sing vs. John Noon, appealed from a justices court, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff.
 A motion to have execution issued in the case of the Central Avenue Driving Association vs. Neri Osborn was denied.
 The Marcus A. Fry will case, ap- pealed from the probate court, was set for trial on April l.

THE APACHE KID.
A Report That He Was in Town on
 Tuesday.

Report That He Was in Town on
 Tuesday.
 There was rumor yesterday that the Apache Kid was in town on Tues day. It was said that the renegade had been recognized by different persons who SAW him when he was in jail here six years ago. For several reasons the report is discredited. An officer who knows him says that he is so changed since then that any recognition based on his appearance half dozen years ago is valueless. And then the Kid is not supposed to be sufficiently fool hardy to tempt his hunters who are already tempted by the standing re- ward of 5000 for his capture.
 c. H. Stone. prospector who came in from the Hum bug district few days ago, said that oD the third of th!s month an Indian told Capt. Ayrton that he ha3 shortly before that seen the Kid and party of five Indians and two Mexicans in the southern part Of the territory. He said the Kid told him that in two moons he was going to make trouble in the Humbug district
 Capt. Ayrton placed great deal of faith in the Indians story. He had known him long time and on several yccasions had befriended him.

we are entitled 10 reduction OF the In

look for a bin to be introduced on this

Nearly all the farmers In Waiia wafia

they believe it would greatly benefit

i believe the greatest needed reform
is economy In all branches of the state

fore meeting their obligations
Personally, nothing appeals to me
more strongly than the revision Of the
salary bills for county officials.
also want a reduction of railroad
rates both freight and passenger. /
don't think this can be done simply by
an act of the legislature without due
inquiry. ! think that intelligent inquiry
can only be made by the medium OF a
properly constituted railroad commission.

a minority representation can always be

mission than an elective agency or con-

Mr. Bull says that he Is in favor of

of the house. but on the senatorial cues
