Horse Thieves.

Last Thursday Charles Fslor, a
prominent and wealthy farmer resid-
ing just south of Rich Hill in Yer
non county, called at this Office and
had cards printed offering reward
for the capture of ths thief or
thieves who had stoien a fine pair of
mules, buggy and harness.
Friday morning Mr.. W. G. Viii.
cox, a prominent farmer residing
about three miles north of this city,
called and had cards struck Offering
reward for roam mare, saddle and
bride. This animal had been stolen
from the hitch rack at the public
square Mr.. Wilcox's son had ridden
the mare to town and she was taken
while he was attending the ice cream
supper given by the ladies of the
Catbo|i church.
Friday evening the mare was re-.
turned to Butler and its owner by
one Tom Smith, who claimed he had
caught the nag ct Amoret. Smith
claimed the reward. Sheriff Nudd
doubted his story and made IN in.
vestigation. He WAS not long in
finding several persons who had
seen Smith take the animal from the
rack and ride away. He confronted
Smith with the facts aud locked him
up Questioning the thief, he stated
be had walked to Amoret, staid all
night with the railroad agent and
found the mare loose in the street.
and having heard Of a horse being
stolen at Butler, concluded that was
the one and brought it in.
Smith is not stranger TO the
Butler Jail as it has not been long
since he finished term OF 6 months
for stealing some money from lady.
There is but one way to rid the
country of these horse thieves, mur-
derers and highwaymen. When cap
tured and brought to trial, the iuries
should do thsir duty. Speedy and
and sure panishment has it's effect
on the criminal class.

COLLEGE ATHLETES.

These are busy days among college
athletes. Calls have been issued at all
the larger institutions for team candl-
dates and coaches, and trainers are at
their wits ends to discover those who
will replace the stars who have been
graduated.
Main interest, of course, centers in
the games for the champiOnsh ps. From
the present outlook it appears as
though the games would result much as
last year-with Yale champions, Penn
sylvania second and Harvard third.
Georgetown. with Wefers, has ten
points. as sure of anything can be in
athletics Princeton has couple OF
likely lads. Columbia also has stron g
SQUAD. so that these three will likely
fight it out for fourth place, with the
DO sibilty of Cornell walking off with
the place. Yale has by far the best
chance at present, having lost fewer
men by graduation than the Others.
Harvard 5 chances are not as good as
they were last year. though she has
fine crack sprinters and some strong
candidates for honors in the broad
jumps.
Princeton has a stronger outlook THIS
wear than she has had since 1S90-in
fact, it is so strong as to make her real
ly formidable. The only trouble she
will have is with her faculty, aud
should 1t not object to the new men on
the team, the colors of the tiger should
show up well.
Pennsylvania seems to be the only
team likely to give Yale serious argu-
ment for first honors, and her chances
are predetermined. She has a good nu-
cleus for strong team, and may build
up a very creditable one. In all the
events she stands a chance save the
sprints. quarter mile and hurd es.
Columbia should give Projection and
Georgetown IA great tussle for fourth
place, as she has some frst-class ath-
letes-NeW York Times.

niscouraping Suicides

The Butte, Mon tana Miner, in trying
to discourage suicide, discourses as fol
lows: 1T is better even to breathe the
sulphur smoke of Butte than to breathe
it in the orthodox smelter town of eter-
nifty, where the victim not only gets the
smoke but feels the fire. There is more
enjoyment in giving and laughing and
winking at adversely than in havin 9
your enemies laughing at your corpse
and dancing iigs on your grave. 1t is
better to see the sun rise than to run
the risk of finding that the atheist is
right and the grave the end of all. 1t

pain here below than to go into the
other world under circumstances which
will keep you on the treadmill of pun

The natural trend of human nature
is to tiud fault, and much of this trait
crops out in the wheelman. especially
# his wheel gives him any trouble. 1t
aever occurs to him that possibly the
trouble may exist in himself and that
the refusal of the wheel to forever
,gay in order is the result OF the abuse
at he has visited upon it. Many a
whee man rides down terraces and off
sidewalks without the first thought
hat the machine can get out of order.
Then, when he is ready to start for Il
long trip he finds that the wheels are
out IF true aud the bearings have Slip

must be the first thing done. The
dealer is roundly scolded and the ma
chine berated as cheap thing, when
the trouble all Les in the care he has
given it. 1t should b: borne in mind
that a bicycle is one of the most intri-

Along with the growth of cyclipg has
come an increasing interest in amateur
topography, until now nearly every
full-hedged cyclist looks upon camera
as a necessary part of his outfit.
Through these little instruments that
have been made so compact that no one
finds them in the way, many bright and
interesting spots have been reproduced
for reviviug the memury of the trip
which would otherwise pass from rec
objection. T pr. ce of these cameras
have been brought within the reach of
all and acceptable work can be execut-
ed after very little practice. Still, it
should not be forgotten that in the

In pursuance of the police suggested
by a well known writer in ma yaZine
devoted exclusively to ladies, [ feel it
incumbent upon me to call attention to

ters' eyes the many social evils which

is relic of the early ages, and the
sooner the country is rid of such a
doctrine the better for it's daughters.
That many girls may be warned OF

Bicycle Bets.

How rapidly has the bicycle ad-
vauced from being looked upon as a
luxury which only the young could use.
Today it is a factor in the economics of
Everyday life and is regarded as one of
the necessities of all people. Indeed,
more advanced than young persons now
use it. and it is this class which has
given it it's present commercial impor-
lance. One has but to watch the army
of peda ers on the streets each pleasant
day TO realize this fact. Men whose
locks are tinged with gray find through
the bicycle the means of growing young
again.

The girl who really loves her wheel
is filing her room with every sort of
fancy and toilet article made to sug-
gest her beloved bicycle. Something
new which was seen last week is q pin
cushion modelled after wheel, with
the tire forming the repository for my
ladys endless array of stick-pins and
what-nots. This novel article is made
from a wooden towel ring which is first
covered with black satin, with spokes
made like a spider web, minus the cross
lines. The tire, or cushion part, is
made of gray, rubber-color satin, and
should be at least one inch in dame
ter, and long enough to go around the
ring. 1t should then be drawn over
the ring and made to come down over
the sides as does a regular tire. 1t can
hen be held in place by seccotine.
When completed the wheel is suspend
I'd by loop of ribbon. No doubt these
little articles will engage the eye of
some euterprisiug novelty maker who
will supply them to dealers in art goods
with genuine steel spokes and hubs al
ready in place which would render
them all the more pleasing.

Bicycle belts this year come in an al
most endless assortment of leather and

rial to match the dress goods and bound
in patent leather. Jeweled belts will
also be much worn. but the ideal belt
for the cyclist is one of leather with
-mall coin pocket attached. Pockets
in the skirt have been tabOoed, and
these small purses which take care of
themselves appeal strongly to every
woman who wheels.

Tomato culture In Erope.

Notwithstanding the fact that to-
inato sauce has been known and appre
ciated for many years as one of the
great delicaces of an Englishman's
table-as the readers of the writings
of Dickens may very well remember, in
the case where mutton sauce and to-
mato sauce played such an important
rart in breach of promise case-it is
only during the last few years that this
fruit has come into general use some
thing akin to ITS popularity in America.
It is said that large glass houses are
erected expressly for their cultivation.
The plants are grown in large pots, and
are said to DE raised very successfully
in this way. the plants producing much
more abundan:ly than when grown in

ever. abundantly supplied with ma.
