Jinnah'S Horse Race.

Jimnah'S Horse Race.
Last Thursday, as Jimnah and
I were talking in the yard, I asked
him if he had ever seen fair and
square horse race, where the best
horse won. "Verily, I have,''
quoth Jimnah, and he told me-
this tale:
"When I was much younger,
and very wise, l left my people
and Journeyed many days into the
setting sun. [ had much lucre
and an enlargement of the head,
caused by the figs that I did eat.
Upon arriving at a small city
where festival of some kind was
being held, [ saw a long process
sion, headed by the high priest of
the town who was seated upon a
noble black charger. And as I
was gazing about me at the strange
sights, small boy sayeth, rub
ber,' and I wot not what he.
meant.
"And I saw many young men
going into large building where
they sold wine, and I went in also.
And the young men were sociable,
and taught me how to cast lots
for wine with a little box and dice.
A man with white apron re-
marked continually to me: You're
stuck and thereupon we all
smiled. I was very happy for
two hours, but after trying many
times to locate a little pea which,
was under a shell, I realized that
I and my lucre were separated. T
quietly stole away, for I wished to.
be alone.
'After severely kicking myself.
I sat me down under tree and.
tried to think, but went to Sleep.
When I awoke it was night and I.
had most tremendous headache.
And I sayeth to myself: 'Jimnah it;
is up to thee to do something.'
So I arose and again kicked my
self. And of sudden the thought,
Of the high priests charger came,
upon me, and [ went straightway'
and found his barn and entered it,.
brought the charger into the
light of the moon. And I saddled
and bridled him and led him forth.
Then I mounted him and rode.
him away into the darkness
"After several hours 7 halted
me at little stream to rest, for it
was now day. And as I lay upon
the bank I thought of many things,
among them the old saying: The
guilty feeth when no man pur-
sueth.' AS [ gazed into the dis,
lance [ saw this was not so, for q.
cloud of dust arose and grew
larger. I sayeth unto myself.
'Jimnah it behoveth thee to get
very rapid move on So l quick
ly saddled and sped away across;
the prairie.
"But my pursuers had approach
ed very close unto me, and then
began the big race. But my good
horse failed me not, and [ say un-
to you it was a great race and it
was strictly on its merits and the
best horse won. For verify T.,

Quarterly Meeting The quarterly
onaa'aoaoa o'f0'e' meeting of the
Pierian Chautauqua circle was
held in the chapel last Sunday
afternoon, and a more or less
elaborate program was disposed
of. Contrary to the usual pro-
cedure, no visitors outside of the
prison attended the meeting. It
was voted to continue the gather
ings during the summer months.
The papers read were of more
than ordinary interest and the
musical program was exceptionally
good. The following report was
made by the secretary Of the
circle:
"Mr. President and fellow men,
bers-l take pleasure in submitting
to you the following report, for
the second quarter of 1901: Since
the last quarterly meeting the
Pierian circle has held six meet
ings, and sixteen papers have
been read by fourteen different
members. The papers will, I
think, compare favorably with
any heretofore produced in this
society. During the past three
months ten. new members were
admitted and thirteen member
ships were cancelled.
"In addition to the literary
work, the circle has had the
privilege of enjoying a large
number of instrumental and vocal
renditions by the glee club and
it's various members. It is not
amiss, I hope, in this report to
assure the glee club that it's work
is greatly appreciated by the
balance of the members.
''The circle owes thanks to the
president for his untiring efforts
in it's behalf, and for the fair
mindedness and iberality that
marks all his dealings in con-
nection with it.
''Those members who have d.
rectly contributed to the society
deserve recognition. Their efforts,
whether of high standard or COM
mon, have evinced disposition
to sacrifice time and energy in the
interest of our circle. Those
members who have contributed
indirectly, by listening to others,
deserve high praise and hearty
thanks. Their patience must at
times have been somewhat
strained.
"Allow me, while on this sub
ject, to call your attention to the
fact that of the sixteen papers
read, but one treated of the cur
rent studies. This is decidedly
an evil and should be remedied.
While other topics may be inter-
esting, we must bear in mind that
class report which does not treat
of the current study is not class
report. Other subjects should be
confined to special papers.
Because of that growth and
progress of sentiment, which is
noble and humane and which has
wrought such changes in the
judgment and opinion of society
that the management of this in
stitution allows this organization
to exist-for this we are sincerely
thankful No man is so bad that
he could not be worse; no man so
good that he cannot be better.
For the opportunity given us for
study and improvement, we are
grateful to the management Of this
institution"
The report of the secretary was
unanimously adopted. The fol-
lowing is the program in full:

Fl. B. Wilson, a merchant OF

president of league to put down
the kissing habit. He explains
the purpose of the organization as
follows:
"The pledge one has to take is
that he will kiss no woman, nc
matter if it is his wife. I think
kissing is an unhealthy and I'm.
manly habit. Kissing is for women
only, the weaker sex. Kissing is
aweak manner of showing affection
We love our wives more than those
men who are all the time kissing
them every time they leave the
house. Some wives may object
but that will not induce us to de.
sert the cause. My wife is in
favor Of the plan and looks at it in
the same manner as I do"

DOWIE SEES THINGS.
! The most thoroughly advertised
person in America since the de-
cline of Mrs. Carrie Nation, is John
Alexander Dowie of Chicago
Each week he springs a new sur.
prise, and each surprise is more
startling than it's predecessor. He
recently announced at meeting
in Zion Tabernacle that certain
Chicago physicians are in league
against him and have formed 6
plot to kidnap him, lock him ul
and beat his head until he becomes
insane.
After the service, Mr.. Dowie
called meeting of the male mem.
bers of Zion to seek assistance, as
the threatened attack, so he said
might occur at any moment. He
threatened dire vengeance against
the physicians unless they cease
calling him a paranoiac. The
reverend gentleman again advanced
his claims to be Elijah reincarnated,
and announced that he is immortal
until such time as his work is
accomplished.

SOME HAPPENINGS
OF THE WEEK.

PRISONERS ASK FOR MORE WORK.
It is reported that the prisoners
confined in the Montana State
penitentiary have made an un-
usual request to the authorities.
They say there is not work enough
provided to keep them busy and
ask the warden to give them more
to do. A commission consisting
of the governor and other state
officers has been investigating the
matter and the chances are that
the request will be granted.

ENGLISH NO LONGER.
Miss Irene Ashley, the young
English socialist, appeared in a
New York court last Friday and
formally renounced allegiance to
King Edward and the eight little
isle' forever. She then received
her first papers of American citizen
ship. She said:
"Monarchies are repugnant to my
idea of the best form of living. I
believe in liberty. In America I
find it in larger degree than in
England, and I renounce my al
legiance to King Edward, and
shall become an American citizen"
Miss Ashley sailed for England
on Saturday to be married. She
will return to the land Of her
adoption in the fall and will investi-
gate the child labor problem for
the American Federation of Labor.
| CHICAGO FIREMEN HAVE FIGHT WITH
A great number of rats, driven
out of a burning building by flames
and smoke, gave the Chicago fire.
men a hard fight early Monday
morning. The department was
called to a blaze in small shed in
north Clark street, and upon ar
irving found hundreds of rats
fleeing from the structure. The
firemen turned their attention to
killing them, as the building was
beyond saving.
Captain Falvey of engine com
pany No. IA led number of his
men into a passageway between
the building at 13l and the burn
ing shed, but the swarm of rats
which had taken possession of the
same place forced the fremen to
retreat, until they could get a
stream Of water directed upon
them. The members of truck 3
under Captain O'Connor, also had
a fierce battle with the little
animals.
The patrol wagon of the Chicago
avenue police station responded
to the alarm and while the horses
we're standing in Ohio street, near
the blaze, a number of the rats
huddled about their feet and the
team started to run, but was quickly
checked. Men and women, who
we're returning home and who
were attracted by the score by the
fire engines, fed in all directions
when they saw the rats. The
sides of the shed had been built
by mailing boards on either side of
posts, and this left a good place
for the vermin to nest.

WAS TT MURDER
Perry Burris and Wife Accused
 of Killing Their Daughter.

Tom Morris of Green Forest assisted Constable Bill Gibson of Prairie township in arresting Per- ry Burris and wife of Polo town ship last Tuesday,.
 MT. and Mrs. Burris are accus- ed of the horrible crime of hav- ing murdered their own 16-year- old daughter on June 10th. The girl was found with pistol shot through her brain in the barn on the Burris premises that day, in- dications pointing to suicide. The pistol was in her hand with thumb on the trigger when she was found by the jury, and with out any extensive Investigation, it was decided that her death was caused by her own hands.
 Subsequent circumstances, however, began to cast suspicion upon the father and mother, and enough evidence has been col lected to warrant their arrest. It seems to be well-known fact that domestic relations in the Burris family, especially between the parents and the girl, had been anything but pleasant for long time, and that the girl had been subject to violent abuse and had left home several times. This led the neighbors to investigate the facts surrounding her death and it is stated that the evidence pointing to the guilt of the par ents is now so strong as to be al- most conclusive.
 The preliminary examination is now in progress at Berryville and is being attended with considera- ble interest.

TO PROSPECT FOR OIL.
Organization of a Local Com .
 pany Effected Tuesday.


 As was ann ounced in THE TRIBUNE last week the share- holders in the proposed oil and gas company met at Judge Butts office Tuesday afternoon last and a temporary organization was effected, looking to the incorpor- ation of the company under the laws of the state.
 The following officers were elected: G. M. Wallace, presi- dent; G. R. Blasingame, vice president; A. J. Russell, treasur- CT; w. A. Butt, secretary; G. V. Poynor, c. B. Grim, Irwin Whit taker, w. R. Phillips, c. c. Kirkham, P. H. Oliver, board of directors; T. K. Hubbs was se- lected as trustee for the company until same is incorporated.
 The first business of the com- pany will be to secure leases up- on lands, which is expected to be done within the next thirty days.
 It is to be hoped sincerely that there will be nothing stand in the way of securing leases. This is a matter of the greatest inn portance. Unless the company can get leases upon enough land to justify the expenditure of mon- ey in prospecting, the project will have to fall through. No land owner is sufficiently able to prospect his land himself and in this sort of deal he has all to gain and nothing to lose. When oil is discovered-and it is confi- dently expected it will be-all lands in the country will advance many times in price, and those on whose land the oil may be found will receive handsome royalties without the expenditure of a cent, or the loss of the use of any land to amount to anything at all. Should no oil be found no harm is done, as no damage can ac- crue to,the land from mere pros- pecting, while an oil and gas lease places no cloud wha tever upon the title, further than per- tains to the mining of oil and gas.
 It takes combin ation of land, money and labor to accomplish anything in this matter; and when a company of home men propose to furnish the latter two, certainly our land owners should grasp the opportunity to have their lands prospected.
