w. A. Alexander has been accusing the
neighbOrs' cats of stealing his chickens.
He did not like to lose his chickens,
neither did he want to catch some neigh
bor's pet pussy, so he stopped up all holes
to his hen-pen, and trusted that the
chickens would soon be large enough to
take care of themselves. But when tif-
teen chickens disappeared in one night,
forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and
vowing vengeance on all cats in general,
and the cats in his immediate neighbor-
hood in particular he set trap and
waited. He did not have long to wait.
A day or two later he found he thief in
the trap, and, though it wasn't cat, like
the darkey when he caught the four-leg-
ged thief that had been stealing his
onions, "he knew him by his BREATH"
Since then MIR. Alexander has caught
another thief of the same kind, and the
air in that vicinity has been heavy with
breath

SPEEDY PHILIP.
Another Ellsworth Horse in the List
A Game Race.


Phillip, an Ellsworth bred horse, owned
by L. II. Greeley aud DR.. George A. Phil
lips, of this city, entered the 2.30 list at
PIttstield last Saturday, getting mark OF
2.25lt. Philip won the race in a field of
thirteen starters, in five heats. The third
heat was trotted in 2'2534 and the fifth
heat in 2.25hi. Philip proved himself a
race horse, and surprised everyone, in
Guiding Mr.. Greey, who drove him. Pre-
vious to this his mark was 2.364.
An incident in the fourth heat proves
the stuff he has in him. In this heat a
man stepped out on the track causing the
pole horse to swerve out. Philip put his
forefoot through the wheel OF the sulky
breaking the wheel and shaft and pulling
off his quarter boot.
Philip naturally settled back to clear
himself from the wrecked sulky, end in
doing so broke his back-strap near the
saddle. The breeching dropped down
below his hooks, so as to hobble him
Mr.. Greedy reached down and rasped the
breeching, and holding it up with one
hand and driving with the other, came
away from the rear, passed all the horse
but the leader, and got second place in the
heat. The feat OF both horse ana drive
received due recognition from the granC
stand.
Philip is six years Old. He is by Mel

OUR CITY wArER-woRks.

Something over two years ago this
paper supported the business men and
Taxpayers of this city iu their demand
that the city fathers retain as city en-
gineer r. G. Stevens. who had success
fully operated our water-works plant
for seven years, and not make this
important element of public safety the
''spoils of Office Our protests and
demands were disregarded, and new
man was placed in charge who operat-
ed the plant for two years. At the
recent city election. the. political COM
plexion of city affairs changed again
and another new man was placed in
charge. At the meetingof the council
last Monday night, he rendered. his
resignation, on account of i'll health,
and r. G. Stevens was appointed to
the position. An inspection of the
plant fully demonstrates the fact that
the city-will pay heavily for the ex-
pertinent of carrying politics into city
affairs. Both boilers are burned out,
ana it does not require the eye of an
expert to see the damage. A boiler
maker from Dodge City has been con-
tracted with to repair the boilers,
which viii cost the city about $500.
1t will profit no one to discuss the
question of where the blame for this
state of affairs lies, but il is to be
hoped that we will profit by this les
son, and not make the care of this ex-
pensive and necessary piece of prop
erty one of the rewards of party sue
