The encouragement this session
of the legislature has given railroad
builders will doubtless result in
much good to the territory. In
creased railroad mileage means,
among other things, the opening
up of much land to irrigation that
is now lying idle, and the devel-
opment of many mines which must
now necessarily remain unworked
because of lack of transportation
for their products. The cultivation
of canaigre and sugar beets are two
industries which will feel the ben
efts, and both will doubtless be
prosecuted vigorously before any
great length of time.-Oitizen

There was quite heavy fall of
snow in this locality Saturday af-
ternoon and night. 1t soon went
off, however, the ground being
warm. The season, so far, has been
exceedingly favorable to the stock
interest. We have had an abun-
dance of rain and snow, while the
temperature has not been excess
lively cold. Water is plentiful all
over the range, so that stock do
not have to travel far from one to
the other. Consequently the loss
this winter will be very light, and
indications are that stock OF all
kinds will command better price

representative of the New York
Times that "Cuba is getting great

expeditions Members of nilitia
companies from all parts of the
country have induced by emissaries
of the insurgents to join the forces

them, payment TO be made in the
event of rebel success. The Gu
bans haven't much money; but the
chances look bright for victory for
them, and the prospect of getting

who, when they get dollar, don't

what causes hard times and stops
the circulation of the American

TWO CLASSES OF MEN.

There are some men whom the
country editor likes. When they
meet you they give your hand
shake which is genuine and does
you good. They never allow thair
politics to Infringe upon their bus
mess and good will towards all.
They never allow their subscription
to run behind, rarely fail to hand
you the news, and occasionally
bring you subscriber. hey al.
ways speak good word for their
country newspaper, and in a thou
sand ways render themselves in-
dispensible to you. There is an
other class which have no use for
a newspaper. Their business is
usually transacted in buck alleys
and back rooms; their souls are so
small that six of them would rattle
in the shell Of mustard seed aud
their ways so dark that ray of
light will discolor them out of re-
cognition. This kind have no use
for newspapers.

THE ONE-HORSE FARMER.

The following account OF the
mistakes of a one-horse farmer
may be slightly exaggerated, but
many of them will sound familiar.
There are lots of just such farmers
as is described in the following:
The one horse farmer has long
ing ambition to gain a reputation
for wearing dirty shirt
He will alarm the ntighborhood
by getting up two hours before
day, then sit around aud not go to
work until eight o'clock, ,,.
He will ride around week look
ing for So hog.
He viii, complain of hard times
and tear his pants climbing fence
where gate ought to be-,
He will pay s3 for new bride,
then let the calf chew it up before
Sunday.
He will get all his neighhor to
help in getting COW out of bog,
then let her die for want of atten-
tion.
Stock will get in and destroy his
corn at a place in the fence that he
has been putting off for six months.
He will strain his back lifting
something to show how strong ne
He talks all day Sunday about
what he knows about farming, then
rides around the neighborhood
Monday hunting seed potatoes.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on
a cold day to show how much ne
can stand, then return home at
night and occupy two-thirds OF the
fireplace until bedtime.
He will ridicule the mechanism
of a cotton planter and then 20 out
and smash his thumb mailing a
board on fence.
He will 60 down town or Sat
urday and come back with 90 cts
worth Of coffee, a paper OF pins, $l
worth of chewing tobacco and his
hide full of whisky.
He is economical; economy is his
forte; he will save 10 cents worth
of axle grease and ruin the spindle
of $40 wagon.
He won't subscribe for a news
paper but will borrow Que from his
friend and forget to return it.

The reason why so many ply
sicians object to the drinking of
water during mealtime is that
Americans, as q rule, drink ice
water. The temperature of the
stomach is from SO to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit After a meal it should
be from 90 degrees to lO2 degrees,
and if a person is exercising it
sometimes will run up to lO2 de-
grees. Now this temperature is
necessary to carry on digestion In
Q perfectly healthful way. Con-
slant drinking of ice water during
the meal or an ice at the close OF
the meal will reduce the tempera-
ture of the stomach sometimes to
95 degrees. which would stop di-
gestion and sooner or later render
one a confirmed dyspeptic. Water
of an ordinary temperature is not
obiectionable-in fact, it would be
better to take swallow of water
now and then during the meal pro-
vided the water is cool, not iced

sideration of a measure whi :h

It would take a whole page of
the Republic to catalogue all the
queer superstiti0ns about the beard
and the curious laws that have
been enacted for it's protection.
Russia had an old law by which
one who pulled a single hair from
another's beard might be fined four
times as much as if he had cut off
one of his enemy's fingers. The
Turks have always believed that a
beardless man would never be ad :
mitted to paradise, and the Russi-
ans, although they do profess tc
despise everything Turkish, declare
that no beardless son of Adam can
ever enter heaven.
