Backing Up His 0rammsr.

Among the dozen men waiting at
the village postoffice for the mail to be
distributed was New York drummer
and dozen villagers and farmers, and
one Of the villagers by and by said to
one Of the farmers. ''
"Bill, is your wife going away to-
mOrtow?"
"My wife has already went,n was
the reply. ''' .
"Y6u mean gone.n

but that's bad grammar

"Ill leave it to the stranger here"
BILL ceased TO whitt1e and looked the
stranger over, and after minute he
said: .
"Mister, you may have one kind of
grammar and me another. 1 hain't
got word to say agin your grammar,
and jest want to say that If you have
anything to say agin mine, one or
t'other of us is goin' to get laid on his
back in that mud hole. Now then has
my wife went away or not?"
''She has certainly went" replied
the drummer with a smile, and it was
decided that the beer was on the man

Tell Everybody.

A distinguished London oculist once
took poor blind man sitting on the
curbstone, and restored his sight.
Overwhelmed with joy and gratitude,
the man exclaimed: ''DQctor, haven't
a farthing in the world with which to
pay you." "Said the doctor; "There
is just one thing 1 want you to do to
repay me; it is very simple. Tell it.
Tell everybody whom you meet that
you were blind; that you see, and who
healed yQH." The restored man will
ingly made this return, and in q little
while the occulist had more patients
than he could attend to. Suppose that
we all repaid Christ in this way.

PEABODY,s THREAT.

The report that Governor Pea
body of Colorado PROPOSES to usurp
the Office Of governor is hardly
calculated to excite surprise,
Though the voters of Colorado
elected another man 10 the Office OF
governor, Peabody has raised a cry
of fraud" and is preparing to hold
The Office with armed force. He
has control Of the canvassing board.
Under a constitutional amendment
adopted at the recent election he
will have power to appoint two ad-
ditional justices OF the supreme
court. It is expected that the Re
publicans will inseat enough Dem
ocratic members of the lower house
of the Legislature to give them con-
troll Of the legislature. In control
of the canvassing board, the legis-
lature and the supreme court moth
ing can prevent Peabody from
holding the office except an appeal
TO force.
In the face of Peabody's over
throw Of the constitution, his
design to usurp the Office OF
governor is in keeping with his
past performances. The people OF
Colorado have patiently bided their
time to rid themselves of Reabody
and Reabodyism through peaceful,
constitutional and lawful methods,
but if he refuses to abide by their
verdict upon his head will rest the
responsibility if civil war follows,
It is incredihle that the people Of
Colorado will tamely submit TO the
complete overthrow Of popular
government in their state"
The above is from the Milwaukee
Daily News and is sample of the
wholesome (?) advertising Colorado
is receiving from the newspapers in
other states because of the actions
of Governor Peabody and his own
ers. This Milwaukee paper is
right as far as Peabody is con-
cerned. Peabody and Bell being
the chief push on the canvassing
board will, no doubt, abide by their
established standard of law and
order (s) and count out sufficient
honestly elected Democrats to
give the Republicans majority in
the senate, understanding that the
senate will count out Adams and
seat Peabody But unless we un-
derestimate the character of several
men elected to the senate by the
Republicans this will not be done.
Every member of the senate knows
that Adams was elected governor of
Colorado by over 5000 majority
outside of Denver and by over
10, 900 counting Denver. Every Re-
publican knows that Peabody is
doing the party an injury by trying
to usurp the Office of governor
when 10000 Republicans cast their
ballots to defeat him. The Senate
will turn Mr.. Peabody down and
then we'll see some fun. Well
hear a squeal from Peabody and
we will probably learn something
more about fraud" 1t is doubt
full if the Republicans have any
idea of trying to seat Peabody.
It looks as if they were putting up
bluff SO that the men who had
money up on Adams would agree
to call off their bets. 1t is stated
that Chairman Farley bet $4,000
Of the campaign fund that Peabody
would be elected and he is doing
all kinds of 'craw6shing" to gel
out of letting loose of the money.

Scrub cattle are often if not usually
the result Of skimped feeding as calves
or yearlings. To secure best results
beef cattle must be kept in the best
possible condition from the day they
are dropped. By this course they will
actually have consumed. less feed
when ready for market. When cattle
are fed III the open have the corrals
thoroughly drained naturally or other
wise, but if there must be mud in
some part of the corral have it about
the feed racks and leave the drier part
clear for the stock to lie down. Have
good, clean water accessible at all times
and do not compel the stock to drink
mud. Have reliable and competent
feeders, even if they cost good deal
more than scrub help. 1t does not pay
to have cattle starved one day and
surfeited the next, with the accom-
paning waste of feed.

kurokfs line is so long that it seems
as If an active enemy might attack
its various columns and beat them in
detail, but the ground in which such
operations would have to be carried on
IS exceedingly broken. Ii Il superior
Russian force of 10000 or $4,000
moved to crush Kuroki's right wing
it would find itself unable to draw out
the full effectiveness of it's numbers
owing to the narrow passes and mis-
cradle roads over which it would have
to maneuver. While kuroki's line is
long from end to end, it is not equally
thin in all places, but is concentrated
in three columns at Takushan, Feng-
wangcheng, and the unknown point
north or northeast. Small bodies Of
Cossack cavalry have been able to in
Sert themselves between the three
points of concentration and get in the
rear of he Japanese. The raiders
have done little material harm. Their
chief value has been that of scouts
and collectors of intelligence.
Kouropatkins army lies parallel to
Kuroki's at Il distance of 100 miles.
The scouts and advance guard of both
armies are keeping touch in the in
terval Kouropatkin' right rests at
Newchwang, and his forces extend
along the line or raflroau through Hal
cheng to Liaoyang and Mukden. The
main concentration is at Liaoyang. Be
cause of the railroad, however, the
Russian troops are exceedingly mo-
bile, and the center of gravity can be
rapidly shifted. Liaoyang is being
well fortified. If Oku's soldiers can
storm Port Arthur the survivors will
probably about face and push up the
railroad against the enemy's right,
while at the same time kuroki will
make concerted advance against his
whole line, perhaps endeavoring to out
flank the Russian left with his own
mysterious right.

Stronghold Taken by NIikado's Men
After Desperate Battle.
Kinchow, strongly fortified position
near the narrowest point Of the Lao
tung peninsula, or the Regents Sword
as it is called by the japanese and Chi
nese was captured Thursday by Gen.
Okus forces after a desperate battle
The first assault was delivered upon
Nangkwanling, little to the south Of
Knchow Here, apparently, the Jap
anese fleet gave assistance in the heavy
bombardment When this position was
carried fearful struggle followed for
the great castle at Kinchow, which must
have been strengthened very much by
the Russians since it offered formidable
resistance to the Japanese in the war
with China ten years ago. Now THAT
kinchow has fallen and the Russians
have retreated to the southwark, the
way seems open for determined attack
upon the approaches to Port Arthur,
thirty-two miles to the south.
Japanese losses in the fighting at hln-
chow were estimated at $1,000, and re-
ports put the Cars casualties even
greater than this.
The Japanese captured Kinchow the
first time on Nov. 6, 1894. Two weeks
later they were in control of Port Ar
thur. This was less than Il month after
their first landing at Pitsewo. However,.
there is no comparison between the dl1il-
culties which are now to be encountered
and those which were offered by the
old-style guns and the not very deter
mined soldiers of China. Russia has
30, 900 men or more to defend Port Ar
AZ &c hall tn n
an officer of great ability and the highest
determination. He is fighting to MAIN
tain the greatest of the fortresses in the
far East. II Port Arthur falls the hope
Of Russia to put victorious fleet upon
the eastern seas falls with it, since the
destruction of the great warships in Port
Arthur's harbor and the loss of that
base Of naval operations would render
the Baltic ships rather purposeieSs II
they should make the long and perilous
voyage to the Orient.
The Japanese troops have swept all
the Russians from their defenses west of
Tnlienwan bay. 1t is now improbable
that the latter will be capable of offer
ing any further serious resistance in the
territory north of Port Arthur. The
Japanese estimate the strength of the
Russians about Port Arthur at 10000
men The Japanese have $4,000 men at
Kinchow.
Chinese continue to escape from Port
Arthur, but little reliance is placed on
their statements. They say food is grow
ing scarcer at Port Arthur and there is
good authority for saying the Japanese
believe they can starve out the Russians
in three months.

BLAST KILLS THIRTEEN.
Boilers of Towboat Blow Up Near
Louisville, Ky.


Thirteen persons were killed, three IA
tally injured and sixteen hurt by an ex-
plosion Of boilers which demolished the
KY, Thursday. The Wilson was the
property of the Monongahela Coal and
Coke Company and left Pittsburg the
previous Friday with six barges, twelve
canalboats and four flats, bound for
Louisville.
So great was the force Of the explo-
sion that the Wilson was literally blown
to pieces and her hull sunk in eighteen
feet Of water. Tive heavy pieces Of her
boiler were found almost 500 yards from
the bank and her flag floats from the
top Of tree near Riverview park, where
1t was blown with piece Of wreckage.
The Wilson arrived at Louisville at
midnight, had proceeded down the river
and was about to tie up when the ex-
plosion occurred The cause Of the acct
dent is not known. Henry Sykes, first
mate, could give no explanation Of the
cause of the expression. He and Chief
Engineer Walker were the only men on
the boat who escaped injury. Neither
man could give the names Of the deck
hands, nor did they know the name of
a passenger who was making the trip
with Captain Price.
The Wilson was built eighteen years
ago and was reconstructed in part last
year. She was valued at $4,000, and
was insured in the Especial insurance"
which all boats of the coal combine car
ry. Her length was TIA feet; 30 feet 8
inches beam.

SOUTHERN CITY FIRE-SWEPT.
Twenty-eight Blocks in the Heart az
Yazoo, Miss, Destroyed.

Yazoo, Miss, Destroyed.
Fire starting at 8 o'clock Wednesday,
morning swept through Yazoo City,
Miss, burning a strip Of buildings
twelve blocks long and three blocks
wide. The burnetd district includes the
whole business section, as we'll as many
residences All the banks, business
houses, newspaper offices, the postof1lce,
the court house and the city hall, all
churches and hundreds of residences
were destroyed.
The fire started in Wise Bros general
merchandise store, in the middle OF the
principal business street, and spread IN
every direction. The water supply was
poor and the flames were soon beyond
the control Of the fire department. The
devastation of the business district Is
complete. Twenty-eight blocks were
swept clean by the flames. Or the 200
buildings destroyed fifty were splendid
residences, many of old colonial archi-
lecture and occupied by some Of the
wealthiest citizens Of the South.
The only buildings of consequence d.
rectly exposed to the fire which escaped
were the court house and the Fannie j.
Kicks Memorial library and they were
saved only by the sudden shifting Of
the wind. The buildings Of the four
banks were completely destroyed, but all
money stored in the vaults was saved.
The residence of John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader in the House Of Rep
resentatives, escaped the flames.
The city was placed under martial law
as n result of the confagration. Sew
eral negroes who were caught In an at
tempt to steal salvage have been arrest
ed. &4wo military companies patrolled
the burned district. The loss Is vari-
ously estimated at between $1,500,OOO
and 100000, and the insurance prob
ably will approximate so per cent Of the
loss
