He humped himself from morn till night With all his might When times were tight He knew he would come out all right; He saw he had a cinch.

senator, Thursday selected the Hon. Chester I. Long, of Medicine Lodge, as the party caucas nominee for United Saates senator, to succeec Senator Harris. At the caucas, VVednesday evening 6 Stanley supporters deserted to Long and Stanley, seeing his finish withdrew from the race, as did Bowersock and Calderhead soon afterward. Curtis, at first declared his intention of staying to the last ditch, but soon discovered that he was already in the last ditch and also pulled out.

For the first time in twelve years, Kansas will have two Republican United States senators, after the 4th of March, next and the state has not been so ably represented since the days of Ingalls and Plumt, in the U. S. senate. Chester I. Long is but 43 years old and is a native of Pennsylvania.

He came to Kansas when but a boy and cast his fortunes with the proud young state. He's one of the ablest and most influential members of congress and will splendidly represent Kansas in the upper branch of the national congress. Success to Senator Long. For he's the man who has the stuff He's got enough (And that's no bluff) To make the town folks all feel tough, And wish they had his berth. His rating now is listed high, (And that's no lie) And by and by, When he is called beyond the sky, He'll want to stay on earth.

Again, by prohibiting the shooting of birds, the Legislature protects live stock against reckless tresspassers who prowl through Melds, and pastures, leave ihe gales open, ami often, when shooting at birds, kill or cripple valu able domestic animals. 1 trust, therefore, that the Legislature will take hold of this matter in earnest and enact a law that will have the desired effect. With such a law, not only the birds we have would be protected, but man) others would be unpolled by iudivid uais aud turned loose for the public good In fact, the Legislature would make no mistake in providing for the importation of quails, pheasants aud other valuable birds. A few year ago the state of Oregon imported several hundred Mongolian pheasant from China aud turned them loose under a stringent game law that protected them for five years, Now the people of that slate are bountifully supplied with the most beautiful aud valuable of all birds.

Why then, would it not be advisable for our state to import from the other states or territories a few hundred crates of quails and pheasants ana turn them loose under proper protection. Every quail in the stale is worth at least a dollar to some farmer, each year, and the pheasants would be equally valuable. If the members of the Leg islature who are not farmers could be made to understand ihe full value of the birds, and what an intolerable nuisance it is to the farmers to be constantly annoyed by irresponsible persons tramping through Lields and pastures they would not only support a rigid game law, but they would favor a section prohibiting the carrying of arms anywhere off one's own premiss.

mike Barry Arretted. Constable Chas Pfallly arrested Mike Barry yesterday morning on a warrant issued by Justice Muncie, charging him with criminally assaulting Jas. McPher-son on the evening of January 15th. At the time mentioned, Barry and Mcl'herson met in Brokar's shoo shop. Barry complained because McPherson was having some work done at another shop, ho having previously been a pa iron oi uarry macksmitii snop.

it is staled that McPherson explained that Barry's work was unsatisfactory, and left the place to avoid a quarrel, aud that Barry followed him across tho street, where he renewed the quar rel. McPherson aud those present state that Barry drew a knife and that Mc Pherson warded off tho first blow: but that Barry then stuck the knife into McPherson's thigh, inflicting a deep gash. Barry ran and McPherson followed overtaking him at Rullman's barn, back of the Times office, where he knocked Barry down. The fight was stopped by others. Young McPherson lies at his home southeast of town, suffering from the wound, which is bordering on blood poisoning.

His father, Robert McPherson. who arrived hete vVednesday caused the warrant to be issued for Barry's arrest. The use of tho knife is too common in difficulties here, and a fevv severe lessons are needed. Rev. Strethen Jackson died at his home in Wathena, Wednesday, at the age of 72 years, lie had been a sufferer for some time from heart trouble and partial paralysis.

You play around all day vile I half bleuty of ilrouble.

Ven you die, you vas dead; von I die, I haf to go to hell yet." Judge Drenning has been greatly annoyed of late, on account of tresspassers on his farm west of town. They persist in going through his gates aud fences, leaving them open. His stock get out and cause bim a great deal of trouble. A little law and eveu, a little shot gun are good remedies. A stranger is working the farmers in Ibis vicinity on a graft that seems to be making him coin.

He claims to repair sewing machines and when he finds a farmer's good wife whose sewing machcinc is out of repair, he tells them that he will fix it for a nominal price. He takes the machine with him and when he brings it back he tills the price, claiming that he had to put iu new parts in the machine. He worked this game at Joseph Koclzer's and got $7.50 out of Mrs. Koclzer. After he was goue, Joe took tho machine apart and found that he had put in nothing new whatever.

He is said to have swindled others in the same way in that neighborhood and is still working out of Seneca, There are several reliable sewing machine repairers iu Seneca who lives hero and can make good anything that they do wrong.

His substitute, Ray Gilbert, was in St. Jo-Sf ph, and there was no one to carry the msals. When Gilbert learned of Partc-hursi's abseuce, he came and took charge of the route. Young Parkhurst's mind has been affected for some time, and he has acted strangely, he frequently telling his father that people were plotting against him. He has been very much dissatisfied with his worK for some time, and asked to be relieved of bis duties.

His father does not think that he has done any violence to him self, but that he has gone to some of his relatives, cither at Mankalo, Goffs or Soldier. There has been much talk about bis strange disappearance but it is thought by some that he will return, while others are of the opinion that he has committed suicide. He left a partial list of his indebtedness in a boo at the house, but said nothing as what shouid be done with Ins effects His fatner is greatly worried, but says that he is not surprised at his strange actions. Were They Afraid? Those interested in the new telephone company offered to discuss the tele phone subject before the Farmers' Institute with those representing the pres ent company, but the Northeast men would not. Hiawatha World.

This is none of our business, but we can answer the question by saying; No; they were not afraid, but people running a legitimate business, as the N. E. Kansas Telephone Co. is. don't have to answer challenges from irresponsible concerns.

Besides, they are too busy to do so if disposed to. The World has got it bad about the telephone company. If the company is not all right the pub lie knows il, and if Herbert's uew proposed company has merits, it doesn't have to wait to settle challenges for debates befere beginning operations. Suppose some little jiiu-crow newspaper man should go to Hiawatha and dial leuge Herbert to meet him in joint debate as to who had the best ideas about how to run a newspaper, would the editor of the World pay any attention to him? Not unless he desires to make as big a fool of himself about other things as be rioes about the telephone business. We have failed to hear of one complaint about the N.

K. Telephone C.i, aside from the kick regis-cered by Herbert, and it is plain that there is method in his madntss. lEollzhuiiftcr Boys' Bad Luck. Monday evening's St. Joseph Press, contained the following account of a perilous ezperrence of two Wathena boys, Albert and Charles Holtzhauser sons of Carl Holtzhauser of this city: Charles and Albert Holtzhauser and Henry Smith of St.

Joseph are in St. Louis, recounting from tho effects of an awful struggle with Ihe ice bound Missouri in a frail skiff. They left St. Joseph two month ago on a hunting trip and fared well until they passed St. Charles.

Landing on an island near the city. Albert Holtzhauser, who was trailing his gun, was accidentally shot in the leg. The wounded boy was car ried to the skiff and an effort was made to get back to St. Charles. This was unsuccessful; and they were forced to float to St.

Louis through the ice floes. They arrived there yesterday more dead than alive. Young Hoitzhauser's leg will have to be amputated. Mr. Carl Holtzhauser received a letter yesterday from Charlie, stating that they were getting along all right, and time Albnt's wound was not serious; that was healing nicely, and that they would start home in a few days.

On their trip they killed 28 geese, 13 ducks, and caught 500 pounds of fish. Carrie's Drunkard' Wives' Home Here is what the Atchison Globe says about Mrs. Nation's proposed home tor drunkards wives: Mrs. Nation is to found a home for the wives of drunkards should occasion no comment. Mrs.

Nation is doiug nothing unusual. Somo one is always taking the part of tho drunkard's wife. It is really an unjun discrimination, and an encouragement to inebriety. If a woman desires the sympathy of the world all she can do is to encourage her husbaud to indulge iu strong drink and her fortune is made.

Ex Governor Crawford writiuji to the Topeka Capital encloses a few very timely remarks regarding protection of birds. He say: I take the liberty of smdinif you here with a newspaper clipping giving a synopsis of the paper on birds, recently read by Prof, Latilz of the Stale Agricultural college, bid'ore the Horticultural society, which is full of useful information and valuable suggestion's. Prof. Laulz, in his paper, hits thu nail square on the head and every member of the Legislature ought to rend what he says, and then help him drive that nail home with appropriate legislation Birds of every kind and variety, except the hawk and the English sparrow are useful, and many of them a'-e invaluable. They should be protected by a tigid, stringent law with a severe penalty attached thereto.

By the enactment of such a law, the Legislature would protect every farm, orchard and garden in the state against the ravages of destructive insects. One quail will destroy a thousand insects in a single day, aud many other birds will do as much. Then suppose, if this be true, us it is, that there were a hundred insect-destroying birds ou each farm in Kausas. how long would it take to rid the slate of the destructive pests? ihe aggregate ainont of grain, fruit, and vegetables destroyed by insects, in Kansas, each years, is beyond calculation, but if it were known or 'could be ascertained, the Legislature would not hesitate to apply tbo remedy; which is within easy reach.
