ence settled back well pleased and the
speaker went on to the next point in mis-
address. But the principal point had
been made, and that by a palm THAT
perfectly well-balanced hand could say
words which no tongue could tell.
Mr.. Blaine was at one time the very
earnest friend of a statesman no less
renowned in history. Once, getting
view of that statesmans hand, Blaine Is
reported to have fallen into a moody
spell. Il did not know he was a thief"
he was heard to mutter, until 1 saw

could run the whole gamut Of politics and
die without ever having been millions
aire, had no use for "a thief"
The hand, whether by chlrognomy or
chiromancy, Is surely an indication OF
a mans leanings. Chirognomy is the
shape of the hand, whether long or
short, or thin or thick, or fat or lean
Chiromancy deals with the lines upon
the palms and the markings. Both to-
gether make palmistry, and palmistry
is a science that grows instead of dimin-
fishing in favor.
The thief mount of the hand is the
elevation upon the inside of the palm at
the base Of the forehnger. 1t is the
Mount OF Jupiter, And if too well de-
veloped to look symmetrical upon the
hand it means the taking of property
that does not belong TO one. In poll
tician IL might mean a working of sell
fish interests to moneyed benefits. In
the street arab it would mean the MAX
ing of a pickpocket. An absolute depres-
sion at the base of the forefinger means
too much honesty. Honesty that sights

people hoard their money, while others

Gold Mckinley, they know they are driving
another nail into silver's coffin. Such men
as these, and those who send them there
with such instructions, should not receive a
single vote or any support whatever from
the states that are upholding the cause of
silver; and il we had the power, would
ostracize them from the arena where silver
is the slogan and force them to retire to the
stronghold of Cleveland and Mckinley,

A Monster Steer.

A monster steer, which is owned by
Charles Payne of Wichita, Kansas, dealer
in wild animals and curios, is attracting the
attention of the curious in that part of the
country. Mr.. Payne came into possession
of the animal, now three years old, about
six months ago. Its growth since that time
has been phenomenal, and the question is
asked Mr.. Payne many times a day, "When
is it going to stop growing The steer is
now six feet and four inches high and eleven
feet long, or seventeen feet long count
ing from the tip of its tail. 1t weighed
only 1900 pounds three months ago, its
present weight is 23OO pounds, and if it con.
tinues to grow as it has in the past six
months, it will some day be as big as a full
grown elephant.
Cattlemen pronounce it as one of the
greatest freaks known in the stock line.
They say it will continue TO grow until 1t is
seven or eight years old, and when it is
fully grown it will have obtained a weight
Of from 1000 to 5000 pounds. The giant is
perfectly symmetrical in its development,
and is colored and marked like Jersey.
Mr.. Payne has not offered it for sale, and
says he intends to wait and see how big il
gets.
Only one other such freak has been known
and that was the famous "Kansas Queen,

the country as a side show attraction, and
was purchased by Adam Forepaugb fo

District Court.

The sitting of the district court closed on
Saturday last.
On that date Judge Talbot rendered de-
csion in the case of Dave Francis and James
Hollinger VS.. Chss. Lytle. The decision
was in favor of Lytle, and held that the
evidence did not show that he had been
guilty of any fraud in inducing the plaintiffs
to part with their title; that the trade was
made when all the parties were on the claim
and that the opportunity was open to all
concerned to test the value of the property.
One or two orders in estate matters were
made, and the date for the next sitting for
the trial of cases was fixed at August 10th,
at which time a jury will be again called,

are transferred These cases are those in

who works at the ranch, found the pasture

an indians aid it was discovered that a
party OF three men had evidently raided the
field during the previous night. Their
camp in the gully about mile above the
ranch on the west side was found and tracks
leading to and from the field where they
had cut the fence. They were trailed up
the canyon to the west to near Summit
springs, where the animals appear to have
broken away and returned to the field,
breaking through the fence and tearing out
two or three posts. These posts were then
taken out altogether, laid aside, and the
animals recaptured and taken off again on
the same track.
