Gets Liquor Just the Same.

There is a gentleman in the city
whom we:all know, who for reason Of
health, the saloons have been for sew.
eral years past forbidden to sell liquor
to and therefore he cannot get any.
thing at their places Of business. But
he gets liquor just the same. Up.to.
date there has been nothing done to
suppress the sale Of "budge" at the in.
stitution just outside the limits Of the
city and here is the place that the
party referred to gets what he wants
in the way Of intoxicants. Several
times he has been observed to 90 to
this place and on coming out carried q
package which il uncovered would be
found to contain q bottle of beer. II
this man while under the influence of
liquor should commit some depreda.
ton we would not be surprised il the
people would take the law into their
own hands and give this "loose
w~hiskey" joint proprietor a taste of the
same medicine which Winebrenner OF
Beatrice received. In Red Cloud and
in Webster county it seems to make a
a great deal of difference whether the
man committing unlawful acts is n poor
devil or an influential gentleman with
backing. Going back to the time Of
"blind tigers in 1887, we will recite
the case of old man Dany who was
thrown into Jail for running a Joint"
because he was a poor devil while the
more influential proprietors Of "joints"
were not molested. 1t is the same in
the present case. This man is allow
ed to sell "budge" while IL it was some
poor fellow who was trying by this
NEAR to keep his family from starving
he would be speedily squelched.

Municipal Bonds Nav be Refunded,

In 1887 law was passed by the Legis-
lature authorizing counties, townships,
districts or cities to refund any of their
bonds within ten years from date Of
issue, whether they he due or not. This
was intended to enable communities is
suing bonds to take advantage Of lower
interest rates whenever sufficient capi-
tai was available to reduce the rate. 1t
is estimated that $2,OOO,00O in bonds
were so issued in 1887 on which interest
charges ranging from to per cent. are
collected which with little effort can
be refunded at and per cent. this
year. This would make great saving
in the amount paid for interest. 1t Is
stated that Eastern money can be OBJ
tanned with no great trouble for this
purpose, and the State School Fund Com
missioners announce that they can
handle large amount Of these bonds.
Any community contemplating taking
advantage Of the provisions of this law
should take it prior to the expiration
of the ten-year limit.

in any way similar to this Cattle suit
able for feeding purposes are command
ing more money here at home than they
would net on the open market It seems
that the shortage of cotton seed Is not
so great as was at first anticipated, and
/ believe that fully as many cattle will
be fed this year as there were last. From
some cause cotton seed has been bring
ing So to $4 more per ton than year ago,
which has, Of course, advanced the price
OF meat and hulls considerably. 1t will
be seen that high prices are being paid
for both cattle and feed, which is rather
an unusual occurrence, as my experience
has been that when cattle were high
feed was had at reasonably low prices,
and vice versa.
Northern Cattlemen have bought our
cattle until there is a shortage so far
as Texas Is concerned. Prices are higher
on the general run of cattle, and 1t Is
my honest opinion that we can reason
ably expect that a point below "a per
hundred will not be reached. Some con-
tend that $6 will be paid, and, while l
think this looks rather high, at the same
time would not be surprised to see a
few choice lots sell at that figure. How
ever, think the general run will bring
$3.50 to $5 per hundred"

An Unpaid State Obligation.

A warrant was exhibited at the State
Treasurer's office last week by Mr..
Adams, of North Topeka, which proved
to be quite a curiosity. 1t was issued to
Theron Tucker, at Topeka, February IL,
1856, and was for $19. 1t was signed,
"J. H. Lane, Chairman Executive COM
mittee of Kansas" and by u. X. Goodin,
Secretary" Across its face in red ink
was written &C. Robinson, Treas" The
warrant was printed form, but II was
very cheap, primitive-looking job. Across
the end the words proclaim liberty
throughout all the land and to all the
inhabitants thereof" were printed. Mr..
Adams says the warrant was issued for
some money provisions and that sort OF
thing furnished to the Free State party.
The language of the warrant is as fol-
lows: Theron Tucker or bearer Is en-
titled on presentation to receive from the
treasury Of the State of Kansas nineteen
dollars with interest at ten per cent per
annum on account as per bill on file, for
the payment Of which the faith Of the
State Is pledged" OF course the warrant
is Of no value, but as relic of early
Kansas history 1t is worthy of preserva-
tion.

The Arississippi Floods.

There is much speculation in regard
to the cause Of the Mississippi foods,
which are more frequent and destruc-
tive as the years roll on. Landscape
gardeners who have to do with ponds,
lakes and small streams have learned
that the earth brought down practically
narrows the conduits and outlets. There
is not the room for the same volume of
water as there originally was. The i'm
mense volume Of earth carried to the
mouth of the Mississippi annually prac-
tically raises the high water mark.
Therefore, unless some method Of jetty-
ing by which the waste earth can be
carried farther from the mouth channel
or some new additional outlet be form.
ed. the danger must increase as the
years roll on.-Meehan's Monthly.
