It's either that or five inhabitants to one dog, or one dog to each five inhabtants, or one inhabitant to each five dogs, or something of that sort, but for the life of us we can't recollect just what it was.

Either Mr. Johnston is "going back on his constituents" or else he did not pause to consider the anpleasant consequences of his act in thus ruthlessly depriving them of the blessed privilege of driving across his hedge row and tearing up the front yard. We hope, however, he will see that it is taken down at ones, before anyone is serionsly Rain. A Challenge.

Cedarville, Kansas. May 16th, 1883. To the Base Base Ball Fraternity: The Codarville Brick Bat. Baser Ball Club will play any club in. Smith or adjoining counties.

Address BLUCHER, Manager, Cedarville Brick Bats. There appears to be a somewhat numerous class of people coming to this county in search of land, who are evidently afflicted with the highly pleasing hallucination that they can purchase all the land inthe Solomon Valley at their own figures. They act as if they expected lean and hungry homesteaders to flock round them with tears in their eyes and implore them to take their land for just what the improvements have cost, and then, when they find that they can't get that, to get right down on the buffalo grass and howl for just enough to take them out of the country. For the benefit of these men of mistaken ideas, we wish to say that such things don't ocour very numerously any more. The time when lands were.

given away in Smith county has evanesced -it has faded away into the purple splendors of the remote anteriority, and won't 'be back right away. But some good bargaius in land are to be had yet. "Oh, Mabel dear, you act so queer, what makes you so forlorn John -hoof you'd act so too, if you had such a corn." Live Stock of Harvey Township. Mr Gibson, our assessor, has very kindly. furnished us with the following figures with reference to the numbers and values of the live stock of Harvey township.

Number of horses, 531; value, $22,310. cattle, $19,606. mules, 57; $2'905. sheep, 1,545 $3,107. hogs, 66 $6,430.

Total, $54,268. 0, see the young girl, In beanty rare, Sans kink, sans curlBanging her hair! And hear the young man, At tha piano there, Hard as he canBanging his air! A young mother stands Oppresed with care, With slipper in hands Banging her heir! On, Wednesday evening of last week, our transfer man, Mr Charles Baker, came near having a mishap that might have been a sad affair. It seems that a couple of ladies who had been on the south side of the river, came to the dam and wished to cross over to Charles, who never shrinks from duty, crossed over and succeeded in ferrying the elder of the two across in safety and returned to bring the other across. They were both seated upon the hurricanedeck until they reached the middle of the river when the front end of the bark suddenly went down and the back end went up and they were both thrown into the river. How they got out is not known unless they waded.

MORAL: Charles, do'n't go on horse back again to bring ladies across the river- either take a wagon or go on foot. Hearn Tell On't." Texas Siftings. NO "Pretty tired, aren't you PT inquired a St. Louis drummer of an Illinois Egyptian, whom he found mutilating fence rails. "Wall, pretty middlin' so," said the chopper; "but they do say that old Abe Garfield, our President, used to split rails." "Yon are thinking of Abe Lincoln.

Garfield was 110 rail splitter, said the drummer; "besides that, Garfield is dead." Sho! You're funnin, ain't yer?" inquired the chopper. "When did he peyank?" "It's pretty near two years now since he was shot." "Shot Was he "Yes." "Wall, durn my skin, stranger, but he must have died mighty sudden, else I'd hearn tell on it." Look Here!

Death of Mrs. Ashton. Mrs. Luther Ashton, died of consumption at her residence in Cedar township, on the morning of the 8th instant, after a and painful illness. Mrs.

Ashton was Virginian by birth, having removed to this state in 1879. At the time of her death she was 20 years of age. The funeral services were held the residence, Rev. F. P.

Newell officiating. The remains were brought to the Cedarville Cemetery for interment. Mrs. Ashton had made many warm friends during her residence in this country who ducerely mourn her death and extend their pathy to the aflicted bish and. Direct Law.

Arkansaw Traveler. The laws of Arkansaw may not difler matertally from the Legislative enactments of other states, but legal construction and the extent of wayward range granted to judges in this state, viewed from the rigorous standpoint of an old common law judge, would seem to possess such points of grave difference, if not directly conflicting features when compared with decisions rendered in the East. An Arkansaw gentleman, being without money, attempted to travel on a railroad train without price. When the conducaor called for his ticket, the gentleman replied: vuI have no ticket, in fact Tubelong to thaelites of Americin gentlemen- who don't have to have tickets." 011 Then the conductor insisted upon receiving money. "I have no money," the man declared.

"I belong to that class: of citizens that don't handle very much revenue." have to put you off," maid the conductor, and he pulled the bell rope. greatly desire to travel on this pleaded the American genleman. "I have been frank enough to make the humiliating confession that I have no money. Many a man would not have made 80 generous an aknowledgement, and I think that a courteous interchange of frankness and commendable openness of declaration demand that you should let me ride on this train." This plece of logie, though delivered with warmth, and with some evidence of elocutionary training, failed in its intended effect, and the gentleman was ejected from the car. Shortly afterwards he brought suit for damages, and after long and interesting hearing of the case, the Judge delivered the following charge to the jury: "The plaintiff boarded the train for the purpose of traveling a short distance.

He had no money, a fact which he frankly confessed. There was plenty of room in the car, so the plaintiff was in no one's way. The train the habit of traveling the road, in fact, it has to go along there. The train would have arrived at its destination just as soon if the plaintiff had been on board. The machinery would not have been worn any more by hauling the plaintiff.

The President of the road would not have been in the leust injured. And now, in view of all these facts, that the train had to go anyway, that there was plenty of room in the car, and that the train would not have been injured by the plaintiff, I charge you to bring in a heavy judgement in favor of the plaintiff, and that, as a healthful example to all parties concerned, the conductor be sent to jail for six months, and also that the clerk of this court furnish the President of the road with an account of these proceedings, together with an opinion that he, the President, dont live high enough up the creek to tramp on the coat-tail of this conrt." A Young Lawyer's Embarrassment. Philadelphia Press. A young lawyer, with his first case, went in to Judge Hagner's court the other day to present a petition. He was so embarrassed that he forgot to remove his hat, and stood before the judg with a petition in his hand, a big umbrella under his arm and a new silk hat upon his head.

In a trembling voice he began "Your petitioner respectfully represents? -when Judge Haguer stopped him, moment," said the judge, "hadn't you better raise your umbrella. too." The young man clawed his hat off in a twinkling, but he was so put out that he could not read his petition. Is it not strange that some meu, apparently well bred, never think of taking off their hats when they go in to a private office, or in presence of people fromwhome they seek a favor. That Naughty Night Robe. Burlington Hawkeye.

We cannot cure as a bald head is beyond help, but if those who have hair and desire to retain it will follow our advice they need neyer show a clearing on the top of their heads. The cause of baldness is the habit men have of pulling their shirts and night shirts off over their heads. There are some who will laugh at this idea, but it is not intended that they should, as this is not a funny article. Thisis business. The pulling of a shirt or a night shirt off over the head causes friction on the scalp, which in time scars the roots of the hair, and leaves a barren plain, a Sahara, forever after.

Suppose the night shirt comes to a man's feet, there is from five to six feet of tail to be drawn over the tender hair, which, kept up for a series of years, would wear out any head of hair. Add to this the friction from taking off the shirt, and the natural scratching of the head for ideas, and the hair has no rest, and the wonder is that a man is left who has a spear of hair left on his head. Now the preventive is for men to walk out of their night shirts the front way. Women are never bald, and some sneering men account for the fact by claiming that women do not have brain enough to become bald. This is a campaign lie.

Women have more brain and a better quality than any baldheaded man on earth. But they do -not wear their hair off by pulling their garments over the head. They open the storm-door of their garments, and walk into the light of day, and never disturb a hair. This we state upon information and beliefand if we are wrong we can easily be cor: rected. It is alleged that they get out of their dry goods different from men, and 1 thereby make a great saving in hair.

Takall the facts, there is only one seusible way for men who desire to retain their hair, and that is to break off the destructive habit of pulling their garments off over their heads. 'They may haye to be instructed as to the best manner of getting out of a night shirt withont using the head for a pirot, but that can be arranged. Let societies be formed classes, if you please, and tencher to illustrate Al a night shirt the front is upon. bald be the known in The Reporter at the Church Supper. is that Angry-looking man?"
