Much Better.

1t is popular but evidently an in
correct notion that Indians have little
tenderness of feeling toward "the brute
creation.' An Indian agents story,
printed in the New York Tribune,
shows that one Indian at least might
teach his white brother lesson.
Out in the country where the Indian
agent has been staying rabbits are hunt
ed for sport, and every precaution is
taken to preserve this game, that the
sport may not be interfered with. The
eagle is the rabbits greatest enemy,
and hearing that one of these noble
birds had a nest in the neighborhood
the agent undertook to destroy it. John,
an Indian who often accompanied him
on his hunting expeditions, was asked to
go along
They found the nest without Difficult
ty and caught the young eaglets in the
act OF devouring rabbit 1t was an i'll
teresting sight, and the two men watch
ed it for some minutes. In the mean-
time the mother eagle had returned, and
circled about the nest high above them.
"What shall we do, John?" the
agent asked at length. "Shall | throw
the nest down on the rocks or shall we
pick them off with our guns?"
"Let's go home, said John, after
some deliberation, and let the helpless
little things grow up in peace. F"

Needed Money to Dress Well.

The Wild, of Famous General Who
Needed Money to Dress Well.
Some years ago the widow of ia
nous Union general was intimate with
the wife and daughters of justice of
the supreme court and was as familiar
with their home as with her own,
which was in the Immediate neighbor-
hood. She was also intimate with the
family of prominent and popular lob
byist, who was supposed to represent
Jay Gould, G. p. Huntington and other
men Of large interests whenever any
thing concerned them in congress- All
the parties are now dead, except the
lady in the case, whom will call Mrs.
Smith. She was handsome, ambitious
and frivolous woman, whose husband
committed suicide by drowning himself
in his bathtub. She lived gay life
afterward, but managed to keep many
of her old friends Knowing her love
of money and the fact that her income
did not keep pace with her expenses
the lobbyist told her that he would give
her $40, 600 if she could get him copy
of the opinion which the justice was
expected to deliver in the supreme
court on the following Monday, involv-
ing the constitutionality OF the Thur
man Pacific railroad law. He told her
that he knew the opinion was in manu-
script and believed that the judge had
it locked up in the desk in his library.
Sunday morning, as soon as she saw
the justice and his family start for
church, she went across the street,
around Thomas circle, rang the bell and
told the servant that she wanted to look
at book in the Justices library. AS
she was accustomed to go about the
house almost daily they thought moth
ing of it, and she was allowed to re-
main undisturbed in the same room
with the decision for nearly two hours.
1t is supposed that she had set of false
keys, for the justice said that the opin-
ion was locked up in his desk and could
not have been reached otherwise. But
at any rate the lobbyist is known to
have obtained the opinion in advance,
and the woman was shortly after able
to pay off some pressing obligations. An
investigation disclosed the facts I have
stated, and it seemed to be the only
possible way the opinion could have
been obtained. Of course the incident
terminated relations between the two
families, and when the story got out
about town Mrs Smith found it more
comfortable to rent her Washington resi-
dence and remove to New York.-Chi-
capo Record.

ing to quality and finish. But the fig
ures which I have given you are not
exaggerated, and they throw strong
light Oh the gigantic dimensions of an
important branch of the dry goods bust
ness.
"a comparatively small number of
handkerchiefs are manufactured in this
country, and those that are made here
are mostly of the cotton and inferior
silk variety. The finest silk goods are
imported principally from Japan, which
country sends US annually between H.
600, 600 and is, 600, OOO japanese pom
gees. The best cambria article comes
from France and Belgium, and linen
handkerchiefs come from the north of
Ireland and also from st. Gall, Switzer-
land japanese silk handkerchiefs are
worth from SO to $40 per dozen, while
the imported cambrics from Brussels
sell for from So to 81 a dozen, and the
cotton product manufactured in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey may be had
for 80 cents per dozen.
"The capital invested in this bust
ness is immense. 1t may possibly
amount to 500, 600, 900, but owing to
the fact that the trade is distributed
nothing like accurate figures can be
given. There are six or seven firms in
the dry goods district which deal exclu-
sively in handkerchiefs. But only two
of these houses handle the domestic ar
ticle extensively. Most of the large
American factories are located outside
of the city, hut New York, as in sever
al other branches OF the dry goods bust
ness, is the great distributing center for
the trade. Washington Star.

To the Editor of tho Enterprise.
: In view OF the present financial condi-
ton OF the town and the future obliga-
tions which its growth mny entail, please
permit one OF its citizens and Taxpayers
to express, through yonr columns. an
opinion upon an important measure now
pending before our honorable mayor and
town council. The enterprise to which 1
nilude is an electric light plant. A cor
poration seeking to exist and prosper
upon the earnings OF the people aud also
upon the taxation Of the same, and all
this for great number OF years, should
certainly be legally bound to pny some
thing for the important privilege. The
history OF such industries discloses the
fact that they are generally quite able to
take care Of themselves their net earn
ings justifying them in continuing In
business.
These facts make It look reasonable
that tho company should be willing to
return to the town treasury certain
small per cent OF their gross earnings.
Say that the franchise shall enjoin upon
the company the payment OF ! rer cent
per annum Of the gross earnings for
the first three years. After TINT period,
let them pay 2 per cent OF the same.
This suggestion is made with the purest
motives, having in view tho future well

Who Has q Remedy for Blightp

1AaS " AhSsuSuy AoA Ashh"ss
The failure of the Woodbury. blight
cure to prevent the ravages OF blight has
been very great disappointment to our
horticulturists. It has been given the
most thorough tests by men fully compe-
tent aud who were most anxious to have
it prove success. But it has signally
failed and there will soon be demand
for the return Of the money paid for the
cure, the payment of the money being
guaranteed il the desired cure was not
effected.
A number OF fruit growers are expert
mentiug in various ways hoping to STUN.
BILE on remedy. Among the substances
tried ia carbolic acid in weak solution
and also in connection with Bordeaux
mixture.
8. McCarty OF Manzanola, drove a
number Of large nails in one tree, hoping
that the rust therefrom would be effect
i've. Strange to say, that particular tree
is free from blight while others near it
nre affected. It is 10 be regretted that
Mr.. McCarty did not drive nails in 25
trees scattered through his orchard, ns
such nm extensive experiment would have
proved or disproved the correctness Of
his theory.
George A. Daring is OF the opinion
that the blight has run its course md
has ceased its ravages. In his orchard
new and thrifty branches are starting
right in the midst OF growth which has
been badly blighted. He has used no
spray or "cure" OF any kind.

In another column will be found n
communication from "Citizen" in regard
to the proposed electric light franchise.
The principle which he advocates is cor
tainly the correct one. Where munici-
palities grant valuable franchises the
town or city should have some compen-
sation. We believe that such useful
public institutions as street cars and
electric lights should be owned and op-
Grated by the cities or towns. But towns
do not always possess the means or cred
it to procure the plants. Next to owner
ship, percentage of the gross receipts is
the most desirable relation for munich
pality to sustain to these necessities OF
modern civilization. Rocky Ford may
not be so inviting field for electric
lighting rs to be able to demand per-
centage Of receipts, but the principle is
