Prohibition in Washington.

Information sent to the Observer
from Washington last December was
to the effect that the District OF CO.
lumbia is fast approaching the day
when the saloons will be closed and
this was coupled with the assurance
that it would be strict and not par
tial prohibition for the capital OF the
nation. The druggists of the city
seem to have walked to this fact and
are making a squeal against a GER
tain. provision they have discovered
in the bill. 1t has been demonstrat-
ed by long experience that a town
can be no drier than it's drug stores
are and the people who are pulling
for prohibition in the District of Co.
lumbia have been advertent to that
fact. The old familiar drug store
and bell boy routes will go along
with the others-it will be case OF
the tail following the hide.-Char-

Los Business System.

Old settlers will tell you that the
Indians broke the first ground for
wheat growing purposes in the spring
of 1881. The Indians got their first
ideas of settling on land and estab-
fishing permanent homes from as
sociation with the cowboys. Mem
bers Of the tribe, including Pocatel-
10 Tom, China Eye and Big Tipped
Pete, broke some ground and seeded
few acres of wheat.
When the wheat was harvested
and "threshed' in primitive Indian
fashion the growers began to market
the grain. The native wheat king
would deliver wheat to American
Falls, or elsewhere in the vicinity,
for SO cents bushel. If the Gus
toner went after the grain the price
was 81 bushel When questioned
as to the meaning of their singular
business methods the Indians would
invariably reply: "You come to my
wickiup, you heap want 'um. Me
come to your wickiup, maybe so you
don't want 'um at all!''-Farming

DIXIE.
The Best Fighting Tune in the
World.

Even if we were not predisposed to
believe what Bugler Fortar says in
any case, we should have to believe
the Lincoln anecdOte with which he
seasoned the dinner of the fifteen
Duryea Zouaves still able to answer
the roll call. This anecdote tastes
too strongly of the peculiar flavor of
Father Abraham's personality to be
open to question. Here it is in the
bugler's best style:
1T was at the last speech Of the
great emancipator, made the day be-
fore he was shot. When he was
through speaking he said he thought
some music would not be out of place,
and asked the crowd what they want
ed. 'Dixie!' was the answer. The
president hesitated, conferred with a
friend for a minute, then said: "Well,
we've captured the tune-I guess it's
ours And the band played Dixie -
Precious little pedantry in that
mans soul! But for once he was
wrong. We never captured Dixie. "
From the very first we gave ground
before it until by degrees it has
marched to the Canadian border and
captured us, practically all of us, and
enslaved us beyond even the power
of a great emancipation to set us free.
And we may thank heaven for our
slavery, since it is something gained
toward preparedness to possess the
best fighting tune in the world.-New
York Tribune.
