The announcsment here that Will I, Bryan, of Jacksonville, is to oppose Senator S. R. Mallory. of this city. for United States Senator. and that John N. c. Stockton. of Jacksonville. Is to become a candidate for Governor, as well as the statement while he was here that T. r. c.

 It is realized there that MT. Stock ton will be a strong factor in the gu bernatorial race. owing to his past af- filliations politically, and alse that !. F. c. Griggs will be a strong man for Congress in opposition to Congressman Lamar and State Attorney ]. Walter Kehoe.

Here is the latest parrot story. A
certain retired general or the Indian
army possessed a parrot and also a
very irnseible temperament. The par
rot was-a valuable bird, but was rather
nuisance by reason Of It's extreme
talkatiyeness. One day while the gen.
eral was writing his business letters
the parrot kept up a continual chatter,
very disturbing to the writer. At last
the. general could stand It no longer,
and, jumping up. he seized the cage Of
the unhappy bird, which he whirled
vigorously round and round, at the
same time shouting furiously. Then
he set the cage down again, and ST.
lence for some time ensued. At length,
however, a feeble voice came from the
interior Of the cage.

accents, where were you when that
cyclone struck us?"-London Tit,Rits.

central and southwestern Kansas were
settled the prairles were strewn with

in Kansas. and the gathering OF these
bones enabled the early settlers to live
while they were getting their claims

weren't many at that-had literally
nothing but team and a few house

the east in single wagon. or course
there were no buffalo for this was In
the late seventies, but their bones
strewed the plains. and these bones
were the only thing that had com
mercin1 value, and they were utilized.
They were hauled in great wagon
loads to- the nearest railway, often
from sixty to hundred miles away,
and sold. The horns were the more
valuables and they went first, but tho
rest Of the skeleton soon followed.
