Curious Facts About Animals.


Farmers find many curious things
happening around them every day
which they cannot understand. and
nobody, even the scientis. can explain
for them. Why, for instance, does q
horse strain a drink of water through
his lips? Why does COW poke her
entire face into the bran mash, eat all
she can, then lick her nostrels with
her tongue? Why does the chicken
drink exactly opposite to the horse
and cow, having to hold it's head up
after taking drink Of water? Then
note the pidgeon, Of the same feather
ed family; as it keeps its bill i'm
mersed while drinking. But dog
laps the water in it's mouth. This
animal, moreover never chews his
food, while . cat, his companion
household pet; always chews thorough
~ before swallowing. How is it that
failing to masticate never hurts dog.
while in the case Of all other animals,
including man, unohewed food causes
dyspepsia. Why has COW ond, and
why can horse shiver it's hide to
drive away flies? These questions
and many more like them that might
be asked will show rs that we are far
from knowing il all.

A case of local interest was decided
oy the supreme court recently. This
was the case of John Rivers against
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail-
road Company, in which Mr.. Rivers
sued for $25, 600 damages for SANDER
which it is claimed was uttered
against him by Mr.. Gilleas, the road
master of the railroad company.
In the trial last October Judge Mil.
Ter held that railroad company could
not be liable for SANDER uttered by
one of it's servants or agents, and de-
cided the case for the railroad com.
pany.
The case was appealed by Mr.. Riv.
ers to the supreme court, and that
court reversed the decision Of Judge
Miller, and held that q railroad com.
pany was liable for Islander Just the
same as an individual. -Yazoo Senti-

speech was principally devoted TO the
discussion Of the Italian immigration.
There were several subjects on which
we desired to hear him that he did not
discuss. He did not express himself
~ to the elective Judiciary; he did
not say whether he was in favor Of the
election Of judges by the people, IS
before the reconstruction days Of this
state, or Of the appointment Of them
by the governor, as since that time.
He did not give his views on the tax.
alton Of railroads, or state regulation
Of the rates Of railroads. There are
several other important questions dis
cussed by other candidates for COVER
nor that were left untouched by Col.
Scott. Mr.. Brewer has an appoint
ment to speak hero next Saturday
week, the 9Th Of this month. We
hope he will give . division Of time
to Col. SCOTT and that all the issues
that are in the campaign will be
thoroughly discussed by them, and, if
SO. the people Of this county who can
attend the discussion next Saturday
week, at this place, will hear lively
debate. We will publish next week
anything that Mr.. Brewer may say in
reference to this expression Of desire
for him to give an. equal division Of
time to Col. SCOTT when he speaks here

ADOg's Long Trip.

Thin and gaunt, and with no other
instinct to guide him save the memory
Of warm kennel, good food and an
occasional caress, little Scotch collie
dog sold to q man at Valentine, Neb.,
returned five hundred miles to it's
former master in Des Moines.
Just how long the DOG was making
the distance has not been ascertained,'
but with unerring instinct he made
his way over hill and prairie, through
the timber and across rivers. finally
arriving at Des Moines, where he was
given q hearty welcome, warm ken
mel and hot bowl of milk for q
starter.
Five weeks before man from Val
entine, Neb., saw the collie, bought
him and took it back with him to
Valentine.
After the collie left his new home
he was seen at Fremont, Neb., where
some boys threw stones at him while
he was stealing meal from a back
door. This was the last report until
he was seen at Des Moines.
His master was awakened by .
slight scratching at the door. On
opening it he saw shaggy, thin,
dirty little collie. He soon recognized
his former pet, however, and declares
be would not now part with the ami
NAL for twice its value.

Seven Railway Kings.

OF railway presidents in the United
states there are hundreds. OF rail-
way kings there are about seven
The president is the executive in chief
Of single line The king is the
financial ruler Of system Of affiliated
lines. He may not even be an officer
of any one line and yet be the king of
the system. J. P. Morgan, for
instance, does not hold any important
railroad Office, yet he is the monarch
over one.fifth of the mileage of the
United States.
Ex-Judge William Fl. Moore, the
king of the Rock Island system, is
only director of the road. Ability
to run railroad is one thing, ability
to finance railroad or system of
railroads is another thing.
The seven kings in the order Of their
Importance are: J. p. Morgan, E..
II. Hartman William K. Vanderbilt,
Henry O. Frick, James J. Hill, George
J. Gould and William n. Moore.
Their domain comprises more than
161, 900 miles of railroad track with
earnings Of 81, 776 600, 600 year.
Outside Of their seven dominions are
to be found but IS per cent Of the
railroad earnings. The nation OF
forty-five sovereign states seems to be
entering into a struggle with these
seven kings and their army of officers
and employees. Current Literature.

Unfolding the Story
TN voice shaken by sobs, she unfolded her
story, and pitiful enough it She was, it ap-
peared, the sister of Knights first wife, who had
vived it's mother for only few hours. At Knights
request she then went to keep house for him, and
presently they found themselves very much in love
with each other. But in the law they, dis
covered an insuperabe obstacle to marriage. Had
the wife died without issue, or had her child not
been born alive the law would have permitted her,
even though deceased wife's sister," to wed the
of her choice AS things stood, legitimate
union out of the question. Learning this, they
resolved to separate; but separation brought only
increased longing. Thence grew a rapid and mutual
persuasion that under the crcums it would
be sin to bid defiance to the canon law and live
together and wife. This view not finding
favor with their relatives, and becoming apprehen-
sive of arrest and imprisonment, they had fled to
London and had hidden themselves in it's depths.
Surely, she concluded with desperate intensity
