The Law Concerning Estrays.

We are requested BY one Of our
readers to give the Kansas law con-
corning the taking up and advertis-
ing Of estray animals. The law ex.
pressly states that no person may
take up an estray animal unless be be
a citizen and householder, and that
any person may use an estray animal
lawfully taken up by him with care
and moderation if he does not iniure
or abuse it. Any person who shall
take up an estray animal shall i'm
mediately post three notices Of same
in three public places in his township
and at the same time send a copy Of
such notice to the county clerk, such
notice to contain an apt description
OF the stray, giving color, age, sex,
marks and brands. II the stray be
not taken within three days after
such notice then the taker shall 20
before justice Of the peace and make
affidavit to the facts in the case, Civ.
ing a full description and the cash
value Of the stray or strays at the
time of taking up. The justice shall
certify same to county clerk and II
the value Of said animal exceeds ten
dollars then in ten days he shall ad-
vertise the same in a newspaper Of
general circulation, for three weeks.
The law provides for the appraise-
ment and sale of such strays at the
end of a year after taking up, the ap-
praising to be done by three disin-
terested householders, and half Of
any surplus money received from sale
Of such stock shall be paid into the
county treasury for the benefit of the
school fund. The law governing the
taking up ard sale Of estrays is very
full and the above is only, synopsis
of the more important features.

"Fewest Failures for Eighteen
Years" is the headline on Bradstreets'
record for the first half Of this year.
That non-partisan business journal
says 1.-The number Of failures re-
ported for the first six months OF the
calendar year 1900 is the smallest
noted for eighteen years past. Com
pared with year ago, the falling
off in number is S.S per cent while
compared with 1898 the decrease is
25 per cent and even larger decreases
are noted when comparisons are
made with the first half OF the years
1897 and 1896. This year, in fact,
for the first time in eighteen years,
the six months failures have fallen
below 5000 in number"

Why Bryan Should Vote for He
Kinley.

Recently when William Jennings
Bryan was in Chicago be was reported
to have said, "We'll be willing to
take the votes Of all the people who
have not had their share Of prosperity
and leave the Republicans the votes
Of the people who have had their
share"
In 1890 Mr.. Bryan was elected to
congress from the first Nebraska dis.
trict under the old superintendent.
Before that time he was struggling
attorney in Lincoln earning perhaps
81, 800 to $4,000 a year. He served
two terms in congress, from which he
retired in March, 1895, because under
.he reapportionment the first district
in which he resided had become Re.
publican. From this time until his
nomination for the presidency he re-
sumed the practice Of his profession.
From November, 1896, to date he is
not known to have had more than one
case in court, but for four years he
has been in great demand for political
addresses at so much per night.
Now for the bearing Of these facts
on Mr.. Bryan's fortunes and on his
vote this fall. Mr.. Bryan has resided
in the Fifth ward Of Lincoln ever
since 1898, and the following state.

No Chance For Him.

freak of Providence each had Just 10
cents. This was considerable for them,
and, being so unfortunate as to have
no "craps," 1t required much serious
deliberation to arrive at just the best
plan for spending it,
Finally one suggested that they
place their little capital in a pool and
then, each in turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guosscr to take
all Of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval,
as each one had ideas on that subject,
and the 40 cents WAS soon in pile.
Then the first one guessed.
