Are the Marks Symbolic.

The question is asked If the
strange facial markings of the
Sioux and Ogalalla Indians, in Buff
falo Bill's Wild West, are symbolic
of anything in particular or only
the products of freakish fancy.
They are the insignia of certain Sc
cret societies, or brotherhoods
among them, devoid of any relig-
ious Significance so far as can be
ascertained but something like the
Odd Fellows, Masons or Foresters.
A finer lot of Indians were never
got together outside a reservation
than these. Buffalo Bill is an
nounced to exhibit here on Oct. ID.

THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED
Local Option Case Dismissed by
Judge Poindexter.

The local option injunction case
came up before Judge Poindexter
today and was dissolved and dis
missed. The motion to dissolve
was argued before him in vacation
August 23rd. He took the case
under advisement and has been so
busy since that time he did not have
opportunity to fully investigate the
points raised and hence did not pass
upon it. This afternoon attorneys,
when the case was called, requested
that he pass upon the motion and
the following entry was made on
the docket:
"Motion TO dissolve and the de-
murrers of defendants sustained
and plaintiffs declined to amend the
cause is dismissed. To which plain
titfs except and in open court give
notice of appeal to the fifth supreme
judicial district"
The reason Judge Poindexter did
not pass upon the case during va
cation was on account of the ques-
lions raised in some points not being
clearly decided in his mind he felt
that it would be unfair to the plain
tiffs to do so in vacation aud thus
debar them from taking an appeal
to the higher courts where they
could be more thoroughly investi-
gated .-HillsborO Mirror.

Denial OF Application For Iniunc-

The denial of the application for
an Injunction to restrain the com
missioners court of this county
from putting the local option law
into effect leaves the applicants
without further recourse, and accor-
ding to the declaration of the court
will make the law operative begin
ing Saturday, October IL. There is
no appeal from the decision of Judge
billiard. A federal judge has al
ready been appealed to, with the re-
suit that in his opinion the federal
courts had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. No other judge in the state Will
likely grant the application in view
of the decision of Judge billiard. So
the will of the people, as expressed
at the ballot box on the Both of Aug
ust, will be allowed to prevail, and
the saloons of Ellis county will
close on Friday night, Oct. 10th at II
O'Clock, not to reopen until such
time two years hence permission
may be granted by the same power
that closed them.

that church membership alone could
not save any one. He argued that

to Join the church. At the con-
clusion of the service two came for

Savior. The service was well at

greater than on any previous day.

occasion interviewed by representa-
tiVes of the Swedish press.
General Sven, as he is called famil-
iarly all over the land, used the OBJ
portunity to speak his mind about the
ISLANDERS uttered concerning his royal
friend. This is what he had to say
about the habits of the king.
King Oscar is very temperate as a
fact, although there are lot of peo-
pie who talk nonsense about him. He
never tastes branvin {literally, burnt
wine: the Swedish equivalent for
whisky, and he is no friend of brandy
or other strong drinks. What he likes
is small glass of sherry with his
breakfast and a bottle of beer.
AT dinner he drinks champagne,
and claret mixed with plenty of water.
As far as the food itself is concerned
he, like all the other members of the
royal family, likes neither fish nor
fowl.
Like his late brother and predeces-
sor, Charles XIV, the king is fond of
simple food, and he is delighted when,
once in while, he is able to get a
taste of the plain dishes prepared by
an ordinary housewife

SENATOR VESTS DOG CASE.
His Client Liked Good Dog, and the

A story is going the rounds of the
newspapers crediting Senator Vest, of
Missouri, with uttering an eloquent
tribute to the dog. The eulogy of the
dog is really beautiful one, and it
is not surprising that, according to
the story, Senator vest won his case
in court.
Yes" said the Senator yesterday
when some one asked him if the story
was true, Il did have a case IN which
said something about the dog, but
the speech, as printed, is not exactly
as delivered it. There was no short
hand writer in court, and the report
was made up afterward by combina-
ton of rough longhand notes and
memory"
How did you get into the dog
| Case?"
Well" said the Senator, "one day
| was going to my hotel, after having
argued all day. when farmer stopped
me on the street. Squire Vest he
said, 1 want to hire you in a case.
What kind of a case?' | asked "A
| dog case he replied.
I looked at the man and made up
my mind that l did not want 10 go
into court on dog case, so | told
him that he had better go to a younger
lawyer, as | would charge him too
much. How much?' he asked. aid |
named $500. He went down into his
pocket, took out a roll of bills and
counted 500 into my hands as q re-
tanning fee. | grew interested. of
course, and asked him for the details.
He told me that he had owned a pecu-
liarly fine dog, which had been shot in
cold blood, as he expressed it, by his
wife's brother. with whom he had had
trouble. I loved the dog said the
farmer, as l love my wife and child
| and | am going to make his murderer
! suffer, if it takes every cent have
THE dog continued Senator Vest
was really valuable animal anC

| miles around. The farmer had secured
over hundred witnesses as to the
value of the dog. I tried the case and
as | have always liked dogs, | die

gave US $500. But that dog case.
