THE press all over the country is
jubilant over the happy result of the
trial of a man down in Hot Springs ,
Arkansas , for killing an editor. The
* O
incensed jury inflicted a fine of two
hundred dollars on the murderer.
Whenever any other kind of a man
has been killed at the Springs , the
jury always acquitted the slayer with
a-vote of thanks , and then went out
with him for the drinks. They re
spect editors down there.

the grazing qualities of New Mexico
as follows ; Many people ask , why
do. you consider New Mexico the best
country in he world ? We answer
because the grass is green all the

passed ; because the snow seldom

ibur hours , except in the mountains j
, beca.use the abundanpe of- timber
.gives ample protection against the ,
kittle cold snaps ; because , the , grass

THE .following from the Atwoodj
( Kas. ) Citizen relative to sheltering
and feeding-stock , is probably as ap
plicable to the stockmen of South
western Nebraska as to those inter
ested in stock in Northwestern Kan
sas : "The past winter has demon
strated the fact that cattle and sheep
do better if they are well housed and
fed. It is true that herds of Texas
cattle will Jive upon the range the
entire year without any attention , but
natives will not succeed with such
treatment. That some of them do
live is true , but those that survive are
broken down in constitution and are
worthless as breeders. If our people
who have from fifty to one hundred
head of cattle and from 100 to 1000
sheep would sell off enough of their
stock in the fall to purchase the ma
terial for good sheds and hay and
grain to last through the storms of the
winter they would be the gainers.
Another error is made by saving the
feed until spring before feeding. It
is the custom of some to let their
stock rustle until the last of February
or first of March and then commence
feeding. The result is , the cattle are
poor and weak and hav'nt the vitality
to properly digest the feed and it does
them but little good. If stock is kept
in good heart until the first of March
and then properly sheltered during
the spring storms , they will come out
all right. It seems to us that our
stock men should look into this mat
ter and profit by past experience. It
is an every day occurrence to hear of
stock getting into the Beaver and be
ing too poor and weak to extricate
themselves perish. The loss in cat-
tie and sheep in Rawlins county the
past winter would pay for sheds and
feed sufficient to have kept what now *
remains in good condition and they
would be worth fifty per cent , more
than they are to-day. "
SAYS the Chicago Herald : On a
Fort Wayne train approaching Chicago
cage there was a short-statured ,
straight-haired , copper-colored In-
diangoing back to the reservation af
ter a trip to the Indian school at Car
lisle , Pa. He wore a nice suit of
clothes , which fitted him badly , and a
paper collar without any necktie. He
attended strictly to his own business ,
and was unmolested until a young
pri f oame into the smoking oar from
C > O
t
the sleeper. "An Indian , I guess , "
said the young chap , as he lighted a
cigarette ; and then , approaching the
son of the plains , he attracted general
attention by shouting , with strange
gestures : "Ugh , heap big Injun !
Omaha ? Sioux ? Pawnee ? See Great
Father ? Have drink fire-water ?
Warm Injun's blood ! " The copper
colored savage gazed at the ycung
man a moment , with an ill-concealed
expression of contempt on his face , I
and then he said , with good pronun
ciation , "You must have been reading
some dime novels , sir. I am going
back to my people in Montana , after
spending three years in the east at I
school. I advise you to do the same
thingNo , I do not drink whiskey.
Where I live , gentlemen do not carry
whiskey flasks in their pockets. " The
cigarette was not smoked out , and ,
amid a general laugh , a much crest
fallen young man retired to the sleep
ing coach.
MR. W. MATTLEU WILLIAMS once
witnessed a display of drunkenness
among three hundred pigs , which had
been give'n a barrel of spoiled elder
berry wine all at once with their
swill. "Their behavior , " he says , "was
intensely human , exhibiting all the
usual manifestations of
good-fellow
ship , including that advanced stage
where a group were rolling over each
other and grunting1 affectionately in
tones that were very distinctly im
pressive of good fellowship all around.
Their reeling and staggering , and. the
expression of their features , all indi
cated that alcohol , had the same effect

crossed. I noticed a few light cases of
scab , yet as a general rule they were in.
a fine , healthy condition , giving evi
dence of the care which had been exer
cised over them. That our state is well
adapted to sheep raising is apparent , as
will be seen by referring to th.e statisticians - ,
ticians report for 1883. Showing that ,
the losses from all causes did not ex
ceed 5 per cent. The greater amount
of this was attributed to neglect , in not
providing food and shelter.
Interviewed some parties from tho-
Frenchman and Stinkiagwater. They
speak of much new soil being broken
up this year. The large crops of the
past two years have given the farming
interests an impetus which is unprece

upon the other so fast that. , the hopes

such as usually precedes every Presi-
