A MlscHIevous CROW.
Not Afraid OF = Gun and Liked Being
Pelted by Boys.


Strangely enough, there was nothing
Of which this crow stood SO much in
fear as crows themselves. Often they
would come perilously near and ''caw"
at him. Helter skelter he would fly to
the house. and his relief was painfully
manifested when he was safe inside the
kitchen. Their wild life evidently had
no charm for him. He was In terror Of
large snakes, too, but small ones he gob-
bled up as fast as he could. It was q
most etfectual way of preventing them
from frightening him when they grew
bigger.
No attention was given to his educa-
tion, but at last we discovered that he
could repeat word or phrase of con-
versation he had just heard. He could
laugh like human being and initiate
the oackling Of a hen. "Stopl" "Hel-
lol' "Hold onP' were favorite express
sions of his, and generally his use Of
them was intelligent He liked to perch
on top Of the barn and shout out
"Stopl" at the farmers that went by in
their wagons. If they reined in their
horses, thinking it was some person that
had called them, the success Of his lit
tie joke would cause Jim to burst into
immoderate laughter.
He actually enjoyed being SNOWFALL
ed. He would stand upon an old tree
stump and look saucily at the boys, as
much as to say: Come, now, here's q
good shotl Why don't you hit me?"
But Jim was always too quick for them.
No boy ever could hit him. He would
dodge like lightning, laughing hoarsely
as the ball few harmlessly past or broke
in pieces on the other side Of the stump.
Then up he would hop again, with an
other challenge, ready for the next snow
ball.
He was not afraid of gun He would
stand close by whileone was being load
ed, and it might be fred off a number
of times without having any peroeptible
effect on him. But he was keenly alive
to its danger, and the very moment the
muzzle was pointed at him he lost no
time in getting out of the way.
Jim was very mischievous crow in
deed. When Grace, the baby, was learn
ing to walk, he would seize her slyly
by the dress and cause her to fall. He
would peck at theitoes of the barefooted
children that came for water and laugh
heartily as he drove them dismayed
from the yard. Sometimes he would
steal unnotioed down into the cellar.
The blows he could give with his beak
had the force of of small hammer, SO
that it was very easy matter for him
to turn the spigot OF barrel. One was
pretty apt to discover after such visit
that all the vinegar had run out ON the
fioor.-Malcolm Douglas in st. Nicho-
las.

The blizzard, as the plain mans ver-

storm, is utterly inoomprehensible to
one who has not experienced it. Gen.
Grated in the great storm breeding re-
gions of barren British America and
swept on arctic blasts along the vast
level reaches that stretch eastward from
the Rocky mountains, with no forest to
break its force, it becomes a demon of
the air. second only to the cyclone or
tornado in destructiveness. The moisture
is ground as between millstones. hurl-
ed with bulletlike energy over hundreds
of miles Of level plain. and finally,
transformed into yeasty sleet by the sof-
tening effects Of lower latitudes, falls in
bleak showers on the ranges of Texas
and No Mans Land.
Lack of cheap building material and
the 'brevity Of the winter season on the
prairies contribute to make the settlers
cabin poor refuge. When the blizzard
comes, every resource of fuel is hus-
banded. and it is faced with grim de-
Ter nlnatlon to sec 1t through.

Pure Cowardice.

DAILY Mall.
The associated press dispatches in
reporting the proceedings of the
Republican national league say:
All day there had been a persist
ent effort to get some attention to
matters other than the silver Ques-
tion. The leaders insisted that no
side show should OverShadOw the
main tent.
The Cleveland World, edited by
Robert P. Porter, formerly Of the
New York Press, and superintendent
of the last federal decennial census,
devoted most of its space today to in
terviews of delegates and claimed
that all, with the exception of the
west considered the tariff as the issue,
It's headlines are:
''Hark Ye, Republicans, Tariff IL
the Issue"
"Silver Is the Background"
"This Money Agitation is Demo-
cratic Scheme"
Strong Expressions From PrOmin.
ent Republicans From All Parts of
the Country for Protection As the
Key Note"
The introduction to the article con-
tinues on the lines indicated in the
heading.
No good can come from such tactics,
The silver question is paramount TO-
day in the minds Of the people-frOm
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
issue must be met fairly and squarely
sooner or later. It is not like the
Republican party to try to avoid an
issue. Every effort to do so will cost
the party just so much of the cOnfi'
denCe and respect Of the public
COwardice has never been character
istiC of the Republican party in the
past and must not be in the future
The entrance upon such an epoch viii

National League Meeting.

The one topic of absorbing interest
in connection with the meeting of the
Republican League which was held
held at Cleveland, Ohio, is the pros
pective action Of the convention up
on the silver question. A motion has
prevailed that all resolutions be re-
ferred, without debate, to the COM
mittee on resolutions. Senator Lu-
Glen Baker is the Kansas member of
the committee on resolutions,
While it is claimed that this commit
tee has a majority against the un.
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to !, yet the silver men say they
are satisfied with the committee, and
that they have such large number
of their men on the cOmmitte that
there cannot be any positive declara
tion against free coinage without such
a MAJORITY report as to give them q
fair chance in the fight on the two
reports in the convention.
A compromise has been reached OF
the officers of the convention. Thu
monometalists have been conceded

men the secretary of the meeting il

The DOnohue Case.
Daily Mail.

Daily Mail.
The case Of Sumner county against
Thomas Donohue, ex-distriCt clerk,
and his bondsmen has been be-
fore the district court and the public
for some four years. While district
clerk, Tom DOnohue collected certain
fines, stenOgrapher fees and jury fees
which belonged to the county. He
should have paid these into the
county treasury but did not. The
county commissioners employed D. S.
Rose to check up DonOhue's books
and then sued for these moneys.
DOnOhue and his bonssmen then paid
over all these fines, stenographer fees
and jury fees.
But this did not end the suit. The
law provides that when any costs,
such as witness fees, sherlfi's fees, or
constable fees, remain in the district
clerks hands one year without being
called for, the clerk shall pay them
over to the county treasurer. Dono-
hue had quite large amount of such
fees in his hands, which he had not
paid over, The county commission
ers interpreted this law to mean that
at the expiration Of the year these
fees became the property Of the coun
ty and brought suit against Donohue
for them also. This suit was one of
the subjects treated upon in the
Rogers letter" Of the last campaign.
The law of the case so far as the
district court is concerned was settled
a day or two ago so far as it relates
to the ownership of these miscella.
neOus fees. Judge Burnette, decided,
after hearing extended arguments on
the question, that this law did not
change the property in these fees and
make them the property Ct the cOun
ty. Therefore the county could not
recover Judgment against Donohut
and his bOndsmen for their recovery
This is exactly the position thu
writer took upon this issue the las
campaign. But this decision does NO
effect the question as to tie duty O
the clerk to pay over these fees
There sis no question that it wa
DOnOhue'S duty to pay them over. 1
was Ewing's duty to do the same. l
is Simpsons duty to do likewise. Al
Judge Burnette decided was that tn
action brought by the county was no
the proper kind of a suit to compe
the performance of that duty. II

ton:
Resolved, That the Republican
party organized to preserve the unity
of the United States and continued
for the sole object Of protecting the
people thereof and maintaining their
preStage as American citizens among
the nations of the earth, is by It's ira
ditions, committed to a financial poll
cy designated to conserve the best in
terest Of all the people and their W.
ried industries and give to debtor
equal rights with the creditor; there

to restoration Of the bimetallic
standard as it existed in the country
prior to 1873 namely, the free and nm
limited coinage of silver at a ratio Of
l6 to l.
The interest taken in the question
is directing and controlling every
movement made in the convention.
