POLITICAL NOTES FROM KI0WA.

If there is anything hotter in the Dor.
der Queen than the weather it is re-
publican politics. The leadership of the
party has been entrusted to w. F.
Smith, F. M. Lane and S. H. Oliver.
The trio propose to redeem the party
this year and the fellows who furnish
the votes will be commanded to fall in
to line. There may be a protest, how
ever.
The apparent friendship cultivated
between Postmaster Nichols and Harry
Glenn, his victim, has been attended
with so many peculiarlties as to excite
comment. The fact is that there is DO
friendship existing between the two
rivals but the orders have been issued
from headquarters that there must be
peace on the surface regardless of what
their personal feelings might be and in
pursuance of that order both gentlemen
were glver: seat in the committee
meeting in this city on Saturday. The
scene at Klowa when the agreement
was made was worth more than farce
comedy. The thing that had estranged
the two more than anything else was
that one was previously reported to
have stated that his defeat would not
have been SO embarrassing had his scalp
been taken by one of higher social and
political standing than that of a COM
mon cobbler, while the other was re-
ported to have remarked that he had
an easy race because he was opposed by
one who imagined he was an editor but
who in fact should be an apprentice in
a blacksmithshop and of no political
force OIL general principles. OF course,
a retractIon and denial from both par
ties was necessary to mend the breach
and now the good people of the city as
we'll as others at a distance are trying
to figure out where the honors belong.
Who is the lion? Who, the lamb?

GRIN AND BEAR IT.

The mayor and council met on Mon
day night and made the following tax
levy for the ensuing year: General
fund, 10 mills; sinking fund, Ito meet
bond obligationsl Is mills; interest
fund Ito meet accrued and accruing in
terest on bonds) Is mills; total 40 mills.
This is the highest levy that can be
made under tie law. But that does
not tell the whole story. There is no
water ditch levy at all and all that ex-
pense must be met from the general
fnnd. We are virtually living here by
the consent OF the bondbolders. We
arc taxed to the full limit of the law
and the bondholders get three fourths
of it. City scrip will probably be
worth about Is cents since, il all our
taxes are paid, we will only have about
$500 year to meet an expense of three
times that amount. The council and
mayor, we suppose, had no other alter
native. 1t seemed to be a case of ne.
cessity. The bondholders demanded it.,
and the mayor and council had to
choose between that and a litigation.
It's bitter dose, but the sign board on
the prosperity pole says, take It."

w. E. CAMPBELL INJURED.
Live Stock Inspector.l

Live Stock lnspector.l
Last Saturday while w. E. Campbell,
of Kiowa, was rounding up and gather
ing fat cows to ship, his critical eye
happened to notice a brindle bull whose
symmetrical proportions and points of
physical development were not up to
the high standard that w. E. likes to
see. so he called the boys up and adopt
ed the necessary measures to prevent
any bad results for the future that
might result from the unrestralned
meandering of brindIe bull.
When all hands were about ready to
mount horses, his majesty, the bull,
feeling that he had not been treated in
a manner due him by divine right, sud-
denly and without notice began charge
such as only an infuriated bull can
make. The rope being slightly slack 1t
allowed him to lunge forward sufficient
ly to strike Mr.. Campbell in the corner
of the right eye with his horn, knock
ing him completely senseless. Fred
Bowers, who was holding the rope by
the horn of his saddle, spurred his
horse to his utmost strength while 1rve
Smith sprang forward in the face Of
the bull and dragged Mr.. Cam pbell be-
yond the reach Of the mad brute, an
act of heroism such as one rarely sees.
Mr.. Campbell's injuries. while severe,
were not so bad as might naturally be
expected and his escape from sudden
death was only a bare chance in ten
thousand.
