"TfiEy SAY"

There are not but four things
in this world that I'm afraid Of
said the old gentleman, sand they
ARE lightning. biting dogs, kicking
mules and a mad woman, and o
them all, a mad woman IS ths
most d~angersome. You can't rul
away from her, because its Gov
ardly; you can't, talk back. for
she's dead sure to get the best of
you; and you can't fight her be-
cause she's a woman; so all you
con do is to stand and take it, and
the meekeI you are the easier
you'll come out of the fray. T've
been hen pecked and puliet peck
ed for nearly 90 years, but I've
never got my courage up to the
point where / could lace a mad
woman without quaking in my
shoes. If there's anybody else
found out how to solve this pro
blem more satisfactorily I'd like
to hear from them"

The fusion state board of equali
zation has made another guess in ap-
praising the corporations. Just how
they determined the valuation OF the
railroad is not known, but all Of them
were decreased from so to So per
cent. below those of last year. In
1901 five railroad companies were
valued at SOL, 500, ,045, but under the
new appraisement seventeen rail
roads are valued at S25, 753,542. 1t
is dead sinch now that the railroads
will never pay the taxes assessed
against them for the year 1901, and
until some compromise is effected
every county in the state will be un-
der the painful necessity of issuing
warrants bearing six per cent, for
which unfortunate condition of things
and many other blessings, we are
under everlasting obligations to
fusion misrule.-La Junta Tribune.

Judge Dixon, one of the judges Of
this judicial district, recently SEN
fenced q man to one year in Jail and
to pay fine of $4,000 for the crime
of carrying concealed weapons. That
is pretty heavy sentence but it is
probably necessary to be severe In
order to discourage the fool habit of
carrying weapons. The civilization of
even state as far west as Colorado
has now advanced to stage where
there is very little need of a man
making q walking arsenal of himself
The type of men who do this are
largely the men most likely to make
fool use of weapon. Intelligent,
sober, law abiding citizens rarely
carry revolvers. The other sort
ought not to do so. If Judge Dixon
has erred it was in the right direc-
tion.-Rocky Ford Enterprise.

The court of appeals has sustained
the district court here in the case of
the State vs. Prowers county, in
which the state obtained judgment
for its pro rata of interest on delin-
quent taxes. Now the county will
have to pay this amount and also
settle with each town and school dis
trict organization, and each of the
other counties will have to do the
same. This will make an immense
amount of extra clerk hire necessary

has made the following record:

For five months Senator Patterson
has been emitting steam, hot air,
boiling mud, black smoke, foul ashes
and sulphurous vapors in way that
makes the physical disturbance at
Martinique spssmodic and intermit-
tent by comparison.
Nothing that comes before the
senate is too trivial or too serious to
escape his offensive activity but
the policy and methods Of his coun-
try in the Philippines have been the
chief sufferers from the noxious
smudge that issues from his dis
temperated crater. Some day he
will explode and sink beneath the
waters of oblivion that have over.

PRAIRIE FIRES.

A number of prairie fires have been
in progress along the Missouri slope.
Last night there was a heavy pail of
smoke over the city, and the smell of
burning grass was noticeable on the
air. The wind was from the west, in
dicating the existence of fires across
the river. Last night there was a rain,
which cleared the atmosphere some
what and will check the progress of the
fires.
In the prairie fire at Wilton Wednes-
day a number of losses are reported.
j. A. Johnson lost 1000. bushels. of
wheat. Another farmer lost 400 bush
els of wheat and several other losses
are reported. The fire started north of
Wilton and covered a strip for about
twenty miles. ..-
The grass this fall is exceedingly
long, and except for the rain last night
has been very dry. There have been
high winds prevailing, which increased
the danger from fire.
