A Hunt for Buffaloes

A S soon the trophies secured and started
for camp, clanbered of the swamp, and
then ambed away south to the much larger swamp
lying between Shombol Mountain and Lake Natron
wherein the Guaso Nyiro River finishes its career.

DEAF SOC HEALTH RESORT.

During the debate in parliament on
the cost of the old age pension act. op-
ponents OF she present ministry made a
eood deal Of fun over the tremendous
number OF old folks discovered in Ire
land as eligible for pensions. II was
even intimated that the returns had
been manipulated and that a good many
OF the pensioners were not entitled to
the benefits they were drawing.
A curious explanation OF the longevity
OF the Irish in at least one section OF the
island is offered by the Roscommon
Herald in an article on the heslthful-
ness Of the bog districts where most Of
the old people are found. Csstlerea dis

BREAKING THE LAW.

IL is probably true that in every state
in the Union there are laws upon the
statute books which nobody pretends
TO observe We ease our conscience
by saying a certain action is wrong
and pass a law prohibiting it under a
penalty and let Il go at that No at
tempt is made at enforcement. and the
enactment remains a dead letter. kan
sas has many of these acts. which. in
the words of the late Grover Cleveland.
are allowed to remain in innocuous
desuetude. The Atchison Globe saws
that practically every citizen Of the
Sunfower state is an habitual law
breaker. and gives a list OF the laws
which are violated with mpunity. as
follows:
The law forbidding the sale on Sunday
Of anything but drugs
The law forbidding horse racing on pub
lie highways.
Letting weeds grow on the road sbut-
ting ones premises.
Having hedges more than five feet high.
CThe Globe alleges that IS per cent of
the farmers violate this law
Betting on election.
sideration Of his vote OF influence.
Doing any work on Sunday except
household work Of daily necessity. CThis
law. says the Globe. is violated by prsc-
tically every citizen Of the state la
bitually)
Hunting on Sunday, hunting without a
license. hunting on another's premises
without his consent
The law making playing cards for prizes
a Denitentiary Offense-
The law forbiddiug the selling OF tick
cts in any rattle, including church raf-
lies
The law making il unlawful 10 neglect
to provide shelter for cattle during bad
weather. CThe Globe asserts that every
cattle feeder in Kansas could be sen
fenced TO the penitentiary under this
law
Perhaps Kansas is unique in the
number of laws thus disregarded, but
it is probable that there is any amount
Of dead wood in the Utah statute
books. The question naturally arises
as to the effect upon the citizens of a
state who become lawbreakers by CON-
mon consent. Does it not lead to con-
tempt for all law and incline people to
go the limit and take chances on escap-
ing prosecution? A law not enforced
is worse than no law.

DEMOCRATIC MAGAZINE.

The Herald is in receipt Of the first
number Of Norman AIack's new mag
azine, the National Monthly, and a
hssty perusal Of its columns justifes
the belief that il VIII prove a power for
good While the primary intention of
the publisher and editor is TO preach
Democracy throughout the length nd
breadth Of the land, the magazine will
be welcomed by the great army of peo-
pie who are politically unattached, and
even those who are Republican in name
If not In principle, will find it Of more
than ordinary interest.
Norman Mack is the present chair
man Of the Democratic national COM
mitteo and, far from being discouraged
or cast down over the result of the last
presidential campaign. he has girded
on his armor and flung down the gage
of battle to the predatory interests who
we're successful. As chairman, Mr..
Mack made clean and honorable fight.
and tire magazine will without doubt be
conducted along clean and upright
lines. the interests and welfare of the
entire country being paramount at all
times.
The cover Of the new magazine is
pleasing to the eve ana appeals to the
ordinary Democrat with great force.
Monticello. the home Of Thomas Jeffer-
son. and the sage himself. neatly
shown. give sufficient notice Of the po-
iitical and patriotic purpose Of the pub
lication. Space viii not permit a review
Of the choice articles in this first num-
Der, but mere mention Of the list of dis
tinguished Democrats who have con-
tributed viii prove amply sufficient.
Among the number are Bryan and Par
ker. Champ clark and John Sharp VIII
liams. Governors Harmon. Marshall
and Johnson. senator Chamberlain of
Oregon. former Senator Patterson OF
Colorado. and other bright stars in the
Democratic constellation. Every arti-
Gle IS well worth reading, and contains
food for much thought for those
who are interested in the betterment
OF existing conditions.
The purpose and scope Of the maya
zine IS set forth by Mr.. Mack as fol-
lows:
1T viii be the aim OF the National
Monthly TO take into the Democratic
homes OF the United States the COM
ment Of the master minds in the party
on topics Of that character, on all is
sues and on all questions OF party pol
icy. Every Democrat should be in
formed on what is going on in other
parts of the country to the end that the
party force may be concentrated and
the party lines drawn together. Demo
cratic hopes have been crushed: Demo-
cratic power wasted. and q majority

sensions Of no material import More

formation the Democracy Of the nation.

founded in vain"

SOCIETY

One of the merriest affairs ever given
at the University club was the masque-
rade of last evening, when the club
members, more especially the younger
ones and their friends to the number Of
about forty couples, enjoyed to the full

one besides themselves. Characters in
fiction and many historical and myth
ical ones were to be seen on the floor.

Indians The blowing Of horns and
weird sounding instruments added 20
the run and noise Of the affair. and be-
fore the unmasking, which took place
between 10 and II. the club presented a
most animated scene.
The usual decorations Of the pennants

SALE OF THE FAMOUS STOCK

Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the sale of the Famous stock
OF goods this afternoon. most all the
Durango merchants being represented,
along with number from other
points. The first bid was on the stock,
the highest being S11 100, the highest
on fixtures being $500, the highest on
book accounts of $1,000. When 1t
came to bidding on the stock, fixtures,
book accounts and entire assets of the
estate bidding became livelier, the
first bid being $4,000 and kept in
creasing until S2l6OO was bid by A l.
Nathan, his competitor up to this time
being Mr.. Kobey. Without affirming
or closing the bids e sale was post
poned until o'clock.
The terms of the bid called for 10
per cent TO be put up at the time with
privilege of the bid being rejected by
the creditors committee and the mon
ey returned.
