BUFFALO BILLS START.
Mere Accident Made the We'll Known
 Scout a Snowman.

Scout Snowman.
 An old Nebrasl1an was speaking of Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally he told how he came to engage in the show business.
 "Cody was for years government scout on the western plains, said the Nebraska man. land it was when he conducted the buffalo exterminating ex- petition for the entertainment of the Grand Duke Alexis in 1S70--I think it was-that he got his name. Cody at that time distinguished himself by the number of buffaloes he killed, and there by earned his cognomen, which was given him by the duke. While he was well known as scout, he would prob ably have never been widely known as a snowman except for an accident.
 It was in 1881 that the people of North Platte, Neb., near which town was Codys ranch, decided to celebrate the Fourth of July, and at the sugges- tion of John Kieth, who is wealthy ranchman at Sutherland and North Platte and formerly claim adjuster of the Union Pacific, they selected a wild WCSb bllOWs 0OOJ WtlS Ol6 Ol J10 ulCA most prominently interested in the scheme, and to him was left the work of securing the cowboys and Indians to help out the show In North Platte at the time was an old stagecoaeh owned by Jim Stephenson of Omaha, who was the proprietor of the Deadwood- Sidney and other western stage lines. At the suggestion of Cody the Indians were to attack the coach and be repulsed by the cowboys and soldiers.
 That Fourth was the hottest cele- bration of American independence ever seen in Nebraska. The Omaha papers had men to cover it, and 1t attracted crowd from all parts of the west The programme which Cody and Kieth ar ranged included riding wild horses. shooting, rope throwing and all the oth. CT amusements and business proceedings of western man.
 It was few days after the enter tainment if such 1t may be called, that Matt Kieth, no relation of John, but an old time western man, told Cody that it was big thing and ought to be repeat. ed every Fourth of July. Cody at once said that it was something new in American entertainments, and he be- lieyed that by taking the aggregation east he could make money. The matter was discussed in North Platte, and finally Cody said that he would ad- vance the money and start out. He did so, and his success is well known.
 When he first started, he had but q small show, but he has added to 1t. He got with him Major Burke, Sherm Can. field, Bill MeCune, and last but by no means least, Nate Salisbury. There was a quartet that cannot be beat, and with Cody boomed tie business. Bill has made and spent dozen fortunes and is today making money like a cranberry merchant New York Press.

All Must Be Enthusiastic.
Narrow Is the Way.


 It Is true now as it ever was, the word of David, "Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. And the saying of Jesus, Mar row is the way, " is not applicable alon, to eternal life, but widely bears upon all human relations, for the way is mar, row and straitly hedged that leads tc business success, to permanent political fame, to genuine and lasting satisfaction with the good things of the flesh, to 8 green and tranquil old age, as well as eternal life. pr. Frank Crane, Metho. dist, Chicago.
 The Awakened Church.
 The church should awake to it's high est possibilities in harmony with tht humane and progressive spirit of the age. The friendly visitor who goes tc the homes of the poor breaches a gos pei of diviner simplicity and sublinael eloquence than can be uttered by musi. clan or orator beneath the gorgeous temple dome. If the church is to heal broken hearted mankind, it must nc longer be content to say, Come, but must be prepared to fulfill the apostolic command and Ego "-Rev. J. T. Brush ingham, Methodist, Chicago

Struck the Right Man.

During visit to Massachusetts 8 distinguished author was invited by 8 friend to a meeting of an agricultural society, then holding its annual session in the town.
 The invitation was accepted, and au- thor and friend took seats near the door
 Nearly every farmer in the house had something to say. Finally the president, pointing toward the author, said:
 Eyerybody's given us a talk to- night, except the farmer down there by the door-I mean the brother with the hazel beard, the boots and the slouch hat. can tell by his looks that he's a farmer, and nothing but a farmer, and call upon him to take the floor and tell us how crops are ill hls neighbor- hood. D
 The man referred to was Hamlin Garland, but he was equal to the ooca- sion, and rising he said:
 "Yes, I'm farmer, and I'm proud of it, but just now I'm doing a little literary work ill order to get money enough to pay off my hands n--Atlanta

pity and even the admiration of men and wotnen, but 1t is question whether such man ever thoroughly gains their respect The man whose arteries bound with the rich, red blood of health carries with him force and an intensity that command re- spect, even though he be slightly inferior mentally to the weak, nervous man. While no medicine in the world will add an incE to a mans stature, there is one famous medicine that will fill the veins and arte- ries with the rich, red, bounding blood of perfect health. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great blood maker and blood purifier. When the blood is pure and rich and red and plenty, and filled with the life giving elements that noarish every tissue of the body, 1t is itu- possible for a man to suffer from ill-health of any description. When every little blood-vessel in the lungs quivers with the rush of healthy blood, 1t is impossible to have unhealthy lungs. When the walls of the stomach are nourished with healthy blood, dyspepsia and indigestion are inn possibilities. When the liver is supplied with healthy blood 1t is bound to be active. The skin that is nourished with healthy blood will be clear and fresh and glow with health. Discovery" Is sold by druggists

The Waters.

The NJ, X. & T. is operating under
difficulties. Following the trouble at
Lelietta, Pryor creek went out of its
banks and one passenger train went
through water up to the steps of the
coaches. Friday long string of
freight cars, some loaded with bridge
material, went into the ditch at Leli-
eta and two negroes stealing a ride
were injured. At South Canadian the
channel changed and now most of the
river flows around the north side of
the bridge, making new structure,
or some treStles necessary, which will
take a week or so to build. For some
days only one train day was run,
numbers one and four, and that only
TO Mushogee. Texas passengers were
carried around via Oswego, Monett,
Wistcg Junction and south McAlester.

10 a. M, a procession will form on
Illinois avenue in front of the Presby-
terian church and the line of March
taken up to the cemetery. A wagon
will be in readiness at the place of
starting to take the flowers, and ev-
erybody is respectfully asked to bring
IA plentiful supply of them. The ex-
ercises will be in charge of the "blue
and the grey" and all soldiers of eth
er side, or sons of veterans of either,
are expected and earnestly requested
to be present and to assist in making
this an occasion of which Vinita will
be justly proud. The war spirit now
abroad in our land seals us as one
common citizenship, under one flag,
and one people, inseparable. The
procession will be efficiently marshaled
by suitable persons selected for the
purpose.

Produces Ravishing Dreams.

In southern Arizona the Jail and pris-
on officials have their hands full try
ing TO prevent the smuggling into their
institutions of the seductive mariguana.
This is kind of loco weed more power
full than opium. 1t is dangerous thing
for the uninitiated TO handle, but those
who know its uses say 1t produces more
ravishing dreams than opium. The
Mexicans mix il with tobacco and smoke
It with cigarettes, inhaling the smoke
When used in this way It produces a
hilarious spirit in the smoker that can
not be equaled by any other form of
dissipation. When smuggled inside the
prison walls the MeNicans readily give
four dollars an ounce for It, but free
men buy it on the outside for so cents
