SPARKS , President CHARLES SPARES Cashier WESTERN NEWS-DEMOCRAT EOBEBT GOOD , Editor and Publisher It is said that of the eight hundred convicts in the Kansas penitentiarynot one is an editor. 13ut just wait till the poor house statistics are published. A Kansas printer recently tried his hand at farming , but couldn't make things Avork right , and is now back nt the case. He had a wrong font team - a mule and a horse and this wouldn't justify. He safd the farmer fired him after he had " " three ' ' "pied" or four 'col umns" of potatoes. He showed his limited experience b } ' asking the farm er's wife if she A\rant ° d the hens set leaded or solid. Senator Thurston has taken pains lately to reiterate his previous an nouncement that he would not be a candidate for re-election. There really was no need whatever of any such statement. Mr. Thurston's recent ex hibitions of mental and moral errati c-ism have been sulicient to convince the people of Nebraska that some other place would be more suitable to his genius rather than the stately sena torial chambers.

Julian we < greatly admire the Grip , but as it sometime ago publicly announced that it Yvas through Avith partisan politics. AYe belieY'e the Journal is unfair with its readers AY-hen in clipping decLleJly anti-democratic sentiments from that paper it giA'es credit to "the leading , " etc. We hope this admonition will .uffice . io keep the Journal from oft'end- m ? again. We searched the VALENTINE through and through this week inquest of Bob Good's editorial opinions but not one waste be discovered. Since Bob announced himself as a candidate for congress his whole time is doubtless taken up with political care's. Chadron Journal. Knowing as he does the misfortunes S which caused the lack of editorials , which we always deem of less impor tance than news , the above attempted F witticism of I3ro .Julian reflect * no credit upon him. The famous beef inquiry is ended. S The chief culprit , General Eagan , F whom the report says made a "collosal error" in judgment , has been given by the way of punishment , a six year's va cation and a general's full pay. Gen. in Miles is mildlv censured for telling the truth or because he did not tell it at the right time and place in accordance with military etiquette. The packers are vindicated. Such of the soldiers as are not dead from eating the stuff have recovered. Alger still reigns and everybody is happy. Itequiscat in peace. National Rural. As the calving season is on , those who desire to dehorn their calves by the caustic potash process should re- ineinber that it ought to be done when the calf is quite young ; say , from five to twenty days old. The process is a simple one that anybody can pursue with the exercise of a little care , and if properly performed , is attended with very little pain. Caustic potash can be bought in sticks at any drug store , and when not in use should be kept -in closely stopped bottles ; otherwise they will attract moisture aud"musli down. " The hair should be clipped away from C the budding horn , and then , after C" moistening the skin with the stick of K potash , should be rubbed on the spot until it is thoroughly covered , taking special care , however , not to touch the skin except on the one spot and in it to have so much moisture there that drops charged with the caustic will run down make the face or neck sore. Anoth method of using caustic is to take fifty parts of caustic soda or caustic potash , twenty-five parts of kerosene > ci and twenty-five parts of w.iter. Make an emulsion of these ingrc.lients by j heating and thorough stirring , and , te then place the mixture in a bottle hav- j cc ing a rubber cork. Clip the hair from ; ni about the embryo horn with a pair of j a of ! scissors so as to expose a spot about the | size of a nickel , drop two or three drops I the mixture on this spot and rub it thoroughly with the rubber cork , l The fluid must not be allowed to spread , of however , nor run down the side of the al i face , for if carelessly used the horn s , of may not only be killed , but the face of tj the calf disfigured.
