senting the Harris Bond company, was
in Goodland Wednesday trying to
make arrangements for the payment
OF the funding bonds issued by SheF-
man county in 1888. The commissioners
contend that the bonds are not legal

Of the county at that time vas only
$4,000 while the bonds we're for $4,000
They hold that a county cannot borrow
money upon the prospect Of future
Indebtedness, which appears to be
logical and legal.

a maniac is reported wandering over
the southern part of the county this
week. He called at A. W. Merrill's
place Wednesday noon aud asked for
some bread. They gave him dinner,
and he started on his way eastward.
He said he was from Colorado, and he
wore a heavy overcOat tightly buttoned
up clear to the bottom, nothwithstand-
ing the sun would fry a batch of fish in
a twinkling. Towards evening be was
seen by a vacant house some distance
east of where he took dinner, and a
couple braves went over where he was
and made some inquiries of him, but
instead of quietly submitting to the
interviewers, he grabbed hold of an
oak tWo-bY-four and after brandishing
this club in the air for a few seconds
and emitting a few unesrthly yells, he
made for the would-be interviewers
with great strides. But you may well
believe that they did not care to have
any further business with that lunatic
at that particular time, and at last &C
counts they we're still going in 2 north
westerly direction with such haste that

EPIDEMIC AT CANTON.
Over 100 People Frustrated With
Typhoid Fever.

Canton, Feb. 3.-Cantonians have be-

cause of the epidemic is traced by the
board of health to the water supply

fever along the banks some miles up

been dumped near the stream and the
germs are supposed to have been wash
ed into the city water.
A call has been made to the people of
Canton to boil all water used for drink
ing purposes. Today the board of edu-
cation ordered the city water cut off
from the public schools and the pupils
will be furnished with drinking water
from artesian wells which are near the
city. Men with wagons have been en-
ployed to draw fresh water every morn
ing for the use of the schools.
Hotels of the city are using boiled wa
ter or getting the supply from artesian

CASTORIA RECIPE FREE.
Anybody Can Make it and Sell it IN

st. Louis. Feb. ga very interesting
case was filed in the United States
court of appeals yesterday. It comes up
from Northern Dakota, and is a suit
for infringement Of trade mark
brought by New York medicine COM
pany against a Dakota firm
The plaintiffs have been for a number
of years manufacturing castoria accord
ing to formula patented in 1868 by
Samuel Pitcher. The patent expired in
1885, but the medicine company still
seeks to monopolize the market by rea-
son of the fact that it became the as
singnee of the patent, and the trade
mark. The defendants got the formula
from the patent office, manufactured the
remedy on their own account and label
ed it caStoria.
The New York company brought suit
for damages, and United States Judge
I4ochren decided it had no case; that the
expiration of the patent made it public
property, and that anybody was privi-
legged to use both the formula and the
name.

Alabama Senate Passes Cunningham's
Radical Bill

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 3.-The SEN
ate today passed the Cunningham con-
Wet bill by a vote of 10 to g.
Some amendments were made to the
bill as originally presented. but even
as amended it is a very radical meas
ure.
At present the convicts are being
worked in the coal mines. This bill
proposes that three-fourths of the state
convicts and all of the county convicts
be taken out and worked upon the
farms. in the brick yard ana cotton
factories belonging to the state. The
theory is that the new plan is more
humane and more equitable because
the convict competition is distributed
and will in the end be more profitable
financially.
