AN IOWA ADMIRER OF BAILEY.
Dysart, Ia., Feb. 17, 18.
To the Mayor of North Platte,
Nebraska:
Sir; Your town has succeeded
in bringing- disgrace upon itself by
a cruel ec wanton attack upon
friendless & hopeless lunatic Tar
& feathers may be considered
salutarv dose to administer to
wen Known criminal out to use
such instruments of torture upon a
man who is at worst a religious
.crank is certainly very discreditable
to your city. You talk about the
freedom & unconventionalism of
the "wooly west" but such exhibi
tion or inuuman attrocitv will cer
tainly make your part of Nebraska
"a jrood country to live out of.
After'all it is very mtfch a question
who were the most insane the
christian scientist or the mob. No
greater disgrace to a community
can be imagined than a mob of law
less brutes undertaking1 to regulate
to their own conception or rather
misconception of justice & they are
generally lowlived villians & a set
of hypocrites who would do infinit
ely worse than the crime they are
"correcting-." I don't want to dic
tate to you but tor God sake as a
true American citizen do something
towards stopping this fearful ten
dency towards mob law which if
not squelched will slowly but surely
degenerate into Anachy. I write
3'ou because I am a loyal American
every crime against law which is
committed by organized mobs makes
every citizen less secure in his rights
& strikes a blow at our constitu
tion & our very civilization is im
perilled. Yours truly
Alfred Macbow.
The proud state of Iowa now has
four lunatic asylums, and the pres
ent session of legislature will be
asked ior an appropriation for the
erection ot another. Judging from
the above epistle these institutions
will speedily be crowded to their
utmost capacity. The writer boasts
of his Americanism, yet judging
from the name it is pretty safe to
assert that either himself or his
immediate ancestors religiously
chanted God Save the Queen."
As Tam county contains, within
her borders sqme genuine Ameri
cans, the aborigines of this conti
nent perhaps the individual's pride
in his nativity may be well founded.
If the latter view is correct no
wonderlie consjcjergtl vEJld.er Bai
ley's" actions as almost God-like;
for certainly it is not a violent as
sumption to presume that the mor
als of the Caucasian are of a higher
order than those of the Red race;
hence according to the glasses with
which Mr. Macrow examines the
actions of "Bro. Bailey," he is found
to be the tie plus ultra of propriety
Now the fact is that there are
certain cancerous spots in the body
politic of Iowa, of which the home
community of this individual con
tains a number of persons who mis
takenly believe that they liave
been called upon to go forth into
the world and endeavor to prose
lyte all the people of the earth to
their way of so-called religious le
hef. To slightly paraphrase
Madam Roland, oh religion, what
crimes by sonte ace cqnfmitted in
thy name.
In the absence of statute, accord
ing to the old common law so often
quoted, custom makes law. "Elder
Bailey's" offence against the de
cency and morality of the commun
ity unfortunately did not cqme
within the scope of te Nebraska
statutes, hence the end will justify
the means regarding his expulsion
from this vicinity.
Now Bro. Macrow, "shinny on
3rour own side." It is but a short
time ago in central Iowa a "chari
vari party" invaded the sanctity ot
the marriage ichamber, threw
a hog- into the bed occupied by the
newty wedded pair, fired guns and
in divers other ways, endeavored to
raise hades in general. Yet the
press dispatches did not teem with
copious accounts of the arrest and
punishment of the miscreants.
Which was the greater sin the at
tempt of a mob to punish 'tEjder
Bailey" for Ins efforts to. break, tip
a once happy household, or the evil
deeds of a mob who invade and dis
turb the sanctity of the marriage
relation, an ordinance recognized
by divine and human laws?
It is but a short time ago that
for a brief period Iowa abolished
capital punishment, and in one
year the lynching- record of the
Hawkey e state exceeded all others
in the glorious sisterhood of states.
This looks as if human nature were
the samebetwe'en the broad prairies
founded bj tfce Mississippi and the
Missouri, that it is west of the latter
stream. When an outraged com
munity finds, the law weak and in
sufficient, a sterner justice is some
times meted out to the evil doer.

JACK RABBITS FOR COURSING.
3ad to 3e Greatly Superior to the English
Hare For That Purpose.
The sport of rabbit coursing is receiv
ing a new impetus since tne Kansas
black taileri jack rabbit has entered the
areua. Not until quite recently has the
coursiug fraternity been nwar of the
great superiority of the jack over the
cotton tail rabbjf or the English hare for
his purpose. Kansas jack rabbits are
)tow greatly m demand, both m this
country and in England, and live one3
command a good price. The difficulty in
catching them alive is very great, and
only one man in Kansas, so far as
known, has given his unrli'vided atten
tion to the work,
Charles Payne, familiarly known
throughout the west as a hunter and
plainsman, has been a jack rabbit en
thusiast ior years, and it is largely.
through his efforts that the merits of the
animal for coursing purposes have be
come so generally recognized. The cap
ture of live jacks involves the purchase
of a great deal of expensive parapher
nalia. Jlr. Payne has two nets made of
seiu6 twine. 5 feet ia heicht. which.
when both are extended, reach almost
across a section, and made expressly for
catching live jacks. His method of en
trapping the live jacks is unique. It is
his usnal custom, Yfhen preparing for
the rai( upon, the rabbits, to advertise
among the farmer boys the day upon
which the jack rabbit drive is to take
place.
At the appointed time hundreds of
country boys, mounted on ponies, flock
to the rendezvous, armed with fog horns,
drums, bells and anything else that will
make discordant music They arq de
ployed in a semicircular ling two miles
in front of the net, and at a given sig
nal from, the marshal of the day the line
moves toward the net, each man making
all the noise possible. If the hunting
grounds have been well selected, the
horsemen will have no trouble in
"bouncing" rabbits innumerable, and
as they scamper away toward the net,
followed pellmell by the eager farmer
boys, the scene is oiiQ of great anima
tion. The rabbits, if they do not become
confused by the noise and excitement,
bound away toward the net at almost
lightning speed, and many of them
strike tho net so hard that they break
their necks. Those that survive the shock
scamper into the pockets which are in
geniously arranged for their reception,
and for them the jig is up. Rabbits,
sometimes die of fright, not having snf
ficient strength to make the race for life.
These rabbit drives are among the most
popular sports in which the prairie
farmers indnlge, and it is customary for
the organizer of the drive to provide a
bounteous spread for his fffatuitous
helpers. Philadelphia Times.
