A bull snake crawled into the office
of the WaKeeney World. Taken in
connection with the fact that one was
killed in the Russell Record office, it
gives rise to serious reflections Is
the doctrine of the transmigratiOh of
souls true, and do those of the wicked
descend into inferior animals, the
most debased into reptiles? Were
the souls of delinquent subscribers
who had skipped" or told the post
master to mark the paper refused, .
doomed to crawl the earth and hover
around newspaper offices in the form
of serpents until the foul crime
against the printer should be avenged?
This is serious thought and there
are many who should take it to heart
and hasten. to ward off the danger
while yet there is time.-Hoisingto

taking place. Ii was also agreed that
each society could name the other events
to take place besides these six regular
races.
1t was voted that any person may
nominate as many horses as he pleases
by adding per cent at time of first pay
ment, and then may start any one of the
horses named by keeping up the remain
ing payments for one entry and decldr-
ing which horse will enter the race the
night before. 1t was decided to occupy
one full page in each of three horse
journals for advertising fo- six weeks
previous to closing of entries, May l.,

societies will require names of horses to
be given at third payment and one society
at the second. About $4,000 will be
offered in prizes.
