FOR STEALING DOGS.

About the middle of last week r. H.
Hall missed his fine bird dog and one
OF the pups, and upon some inquiry he
learned that q party of race horse fan
ciers had passed through here about
that time, had tried TO buy some of the
pups. and had been seen along the road
with Two OF Mr.. Halls dogs following.
After gathering as many of the facts
as possible and getting description OF
the parties. Deputy Sheriff AL Shannon
took their trail and finally overlook
and arrested them at Turon, Reno
county. He arrived here with them
Sunday evening and they were held for
trial Monday. The names Of the men
are VIM. W,lloughby, VIM. Martin,
Tom Martin, John Martin, Jim Chap.
man and Billy Woods. The last named
Is a boy about Is years old and is a race
rioer. They were arrested on a charge of
grand larceny, as the dogs are of ex.
ceptionally good stock and are valued
at $50. Their preliminary trial was be.
fore Justice J. l.. Brady. County At.
torney Griffin and F. r. Ellis conduct
ed the prosecution and G. M. Martin
was employed by the defendants.
All OF them, except the boy, said that
stranger had given the dogs to the
boy while they were camping on the
river bottom just south Of town and the
contention Of the men is that il any
body stole tie dogs. the boy did. I'm
fortunately tor them however little BIZ
lie did not confirm their story. TIE
trial was not concluded until nearly
noon yesterday.
The i've men were held for trial at
the October term of the district court
on bond of $500, and the boy was held
on his own recognizance. They had
not arranged to give bail when we
went 70 press and they are exchanging
regrets in the bastiIe.
The outfit hail from the Chickasaw
country and claim they were headed
for Illinois. It viii probably be Iong
time before they pick more dogs along
the road.

WELL DONE.

The ladies Of the M. e. church are to
be complimented on the success of the

entertainment were appropriately at
tired.

ly gifted singer and elocutionist, and
her selections were very much appre.
ciated. She is highly cultured and the
many complimentary notices given her
everywhere do not magnify her ability.
The parts taken by Prof. Shepard.
son. Mrs. Forsyth and Miss Myrtilla
Cook were very creditably rendered and
their work was also enthusiastically
spplauded.
Quaker Parker" of Denver, had
three places on the program with
some original poems. MIR. Parker is a
fine gentleman but his poems and some
OF his wit were decidedly yellow"
The audience, we believe, would not
have regretted it II that part of the
program had been omitted. Probably
the poems were very lofty and edifyIng
but the house was not IN mood to grasp
them in that spirit, a3d, to say the
least, the character and style of the
productions we're not in harmony with
the remaining portion of the program.
They may be all right in their place,
possibly, but they are out of place on
program of length. In fact, Paradise
or History of the Devil' and my
Mountain Home" Oil program, reck-
oned in time, without anything else, es-
peclally when they are rendered from
manuscript.
The opera house was crowded and
the receipts were very satisfactory.
Miss Avery will be gratefully remem-
bered by all whose privilege it was to
hear her.

Quite number small changes were
made on assessments principally on
personal property.
After the Board adjourned as a Board
of Equalization. they took up some
compromises on land held for taxes
and ground out a great many.
They also compromised the Kiowa
township bridge case which was ap-
pealed to the supreme court. Kiewa
township agrees to pay two thirds OF
the costs and take all of the material.
The county pays one third of the costs,
and, of course, is out the attorney fees
paid in carrying the suit through the
district court. The entire costs amount
to about 800. The county's share of 1t
is $50. The attorney fee paid by the
is $50. making total of $50. The
township is probably out a little more
cash but it has all of the lumber which
at the least calculation Is worth sever.
al hundreds of dollars.
The commissioners we're unanimous
in the agreement and public sentiment
endorses their action. The mistake
was made in commencing the action,
aud after all Is said it was only a con-
trOversy between Messrs. Golf and
Nay. The lumber would have proba.
bly, gone TO waste before the supreme
court would have reached 1t, and both
the county and township would haye
been out much more money and only
the lawyers would have profitted.

THE GREAT REUNION.

The Confederate Reunion at Mem
phis excels by reason of the number in
attendance, largely any previous year,
and the great big hearted hospitable
people of Memphis have done every
thing in their power to entertain the
vast Coucourse of people But the truth
was that the immense crowd was too
big for Memphis and the result was
that some suffered discomforts. Tues.
day, the opening, was cloudy, with &C.
.casional showers, and shivering cold in
the morning and at night. On We'd
nesday the sun shone out bright and
beautiful, and everything was conduct
ed with grand and glorious results,
There was an attendance estimated
at from 100000 to 10000 The last day
was success in every way. The city
was so crowded that it is calculated
that several thousand could not find ac.
commodations. house or shelter.

SPECIALIZED COWS; sHoD GEESE

In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey. The method
of shoeing is as simple as it is effective
The geese are made to walk repeatedly
over patches of tar mixed with sand.
This forms hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to travel great dis
tances without becoming foot-sore. Even
more useful than. shoes for geese are
the spectacles worn by the COWS that
feed on the Russian steppes. Forty
thousand specialized cattle are now to
be found in that region where the snow
lies white for six months in the year.
The cattle pick a living from the tufts
of grass which crop above the snow.
The sun shines so dazzlingly upon the
white surface that many of the ami
mails formerly suffered from snow blind
ness. Then it occurred to some humane
person to manufacture smoke colored
spectacIes for the cattle. He tried the
experiment and it was successful.
