Raised an Interesting Techn.oa,,ty.

Every schoolboy knows that the eye Of
the law Is so far color blind that two blacks
sometimes make u white for 1t. But the
Newcastle-undcrL Lyme milkman, who has
been unsuccessfully appealing from his
native petty sessions to the queens bench,
preferred to try n new way of getting on
the laws color blind side. He did not
deny that his milk was adulterated-not
he! But he pointed out that it was a
Sunday on which he sold 1t, and that there
was law of George II making such sale
illegal on that day, except in the early
morning and after O'Clock Conse-
quently there had been no legal sale at all
md therefore he had not sold adulterated
milk. Perhaps 1t Is as we'll that his point
was not upheld. 1t might have been "the
thin end of the wedge" and presently we
should have had burglar breaking into
Dur house and shooting us, and then es-
Gaping the gallows on the ground that, MS
his entry had been burglarious, he was not
legally there at all, and so could plead an
alibi against the capital charge.-Pall

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.
Bear Was Small Game For This Pnrtic-
ular Canine.

ltcAT was email TOT lhlS
ular Canine.
There were five officers from Fort
Reno and four from Fort Kearncy, and
seven or eight citizens from the east who
had como out for hunt, and we had
pitched our camp on the eastern base of
the Big Horn mountains, Mt the head
waters of Clear Fork river. Ono of tho
civilians, who hailed from Boston, had
brought along his bulldog, and though
no was cuyed and ridiculcd hundred
times over he insisted that tho dog
should be taken along Oh tho hunt.
"You inst waltz he replied to all sar-
castle remarks. q want to see him
tackle bear, and if he gets chance to
it's dollars to cents that he comes out
ahead"
Ono day six CT us went of up the
mountain, and the owner of tho bulldog
was one of the party. His dog was Mt
his heels, Us a matter of course, but as
we were out for the climb moro than in
expectation of sighting game no one OBJ
jected. We had reached point thou
sand feet above camp and directly over
it when n big cinnamon bear which had
been snoozing alongside of u rock start
ed up with "woofl" Before any ono
had scarcely got sight of him or realized
what sort of game it was the bulldog
rushed forward and tackled him, getting
tail hold.
"Stu-boy! Hang to him! Now's
your show" yelled the man from Bos-
ton, and tho bulldog got death grip.
Old cinnamon hadn't his nerve with him
that day, and the first movo he made
was down hill. AT his first plunge he
started good sized bowlder from it's
bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged
great mass of earth. That was tho start
of an avalanche. Earth, rocks, trees and
powders began to move, and strip 800
feet wide went booming down into tho
valley. The men i'll camp heard and saw
it III time to escape. but it swept away
every tent we had and filled the bed of
tho creek 30 feet deep with debris.
Not an ounce of provisions, cook
ing utensil nor Il blanket was saved.
Where our camp had stood was mass
of earth and rock ID feet deep. We got
down as soon as possible, and men were
sent off to Reno to bring back n new
outfit No one ever expected TO sec that
bulldog again, Of course, but three hours
later he walked in among us as if moth
ing had happened and hadn't so much
as scratch on him. We looked and
looked, but no one spoke for two or
three minutes. Then the man from Bos-
ton suddenly remarked:

The Globe-republican., 1896-07-30

Many Of the farmers arc beginning
to seriously consider the abandon
ment Of wheat raising and try raising
Of stock. After three successive fail
ures in wheat, they are impressed
with The conviction that something
else must be tried. Life il too short
to keep up this wheat experiment any
longer. There are many things
that can be raised here every season
to feed stock upon. In fact the
farmers couldn't have lived the past
three years without the other things
than wheat which they have raised.
Irrigation is a dream; it requires too
much capital for the average farmer.
Few of them are willing to expert
ment with an acre or two of ground
and a wind mill, which is the only
possible way to irrigate here. 1t is
useless to expatiate upon the beauties
of irrigation for Kansas. It takes an
immense amount of water to irrigate
an acre. Our farmers who have wind
mills make no effort to irrigate. not
even for potato patch. Something
must be done aside from wheat OF
from talking irrigation. The people
are therefore considering what next.
Butter eggs poultry. eattle,lhogs, feed
grains. such as early corn, kafir.
sorghum, alfalfa and the like offer
remuneration. A few acres of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, etc. can be tried
also, but wheat can not be relied upon.
We have commended this for years.
E astern Kansas abandoned the wheat
experiment years ago; and wisely
so. A email orchard can be success
fully irrigated with an ordinary wind
mill and pond, which most of the
farmers in the low lands can have at
small expenditure. This country is
not to be abandoned. Its soil and
climate are too tempting topermit of
this, but the wheat craze must be,
and the sooner tho better.-Great
Bend Tribune.

question to the thoughtful, citizens OF
Ford county through the columns of your
paper. Where is the money profit in
having paid into the Dodge City treasury
$500 year from the four joints now in
operation here, and having the business
men lose goodly portion Of that sum in
bills that are unpaid, because those who
owe them have spent their earnings in
these places, to say nothing of the
families deprived of necessaries, and of
having the county and state pay out
more than that sum through its courts
and penal institutions in the same time.
If you wish one proof of these facts look
up the county records and see that one
case alone directly connected with this
business has already cost $4,000 and Others
attributable largely to the workings of
the joints raised the sum to over $1,000
the past year. If, as we believe, Dodge
City is necessity to Ford county and
the state of Kansas, would it not be much
better for an annual appropriation to be
made outright from both of these sources
and save the city, county and state the
extra expense now incurred, the officials

ton for consideration, all of us from

The logic of the silver situation is
well given in statistical table from
the United States Mint report giving
the annual product Of gold and silver
in the United States from 1849 to
1894-forty five years. In 1849 the
gold product of the United States
amounted to $4O,OOO,OOO, the silver
product to $4,000. In 1892 the
gold product had decreased to $33,
600, 1000, while the silver product had
increasedto more than $82, zoo, 900.
And yet we are asked to declare the
silver dollar OF to-day to be equal to
the silver dollar of 1S49.
