The gentlemen comprising tho survey
ing party now working for the Bear Val
ley company up Millard's canyon, were
on Monday treated to a sight which sel
dom comes to men in this center of civili
zation. We get the story from Messrs.
Pollock and "Ross, transit men of the
party.
The men -were working tip the canyon
about a mile above the Millard House
when thejT heard a peculiar, crashing
noise. Looking up they saw on the cliffs
high above the stream, and about a quar
ter of a mile from tbem, two noble
bucks standing, with, heads lowered,
about ten feet from each other. Thus
they stood eying each other and pawing
the dirt for fully a minute. Then they
made a simultaneous spring, and came
together with a noise like a falling tree.
So violent was the concussion that the
animals were thrown back until a dis
tance of ten or fifteen again intervened
between them. The men, fascinated
with the sight, watched the deer go
through the same performance again
and again.
Finally, after a more than usually
violent rush, the bucks did not separate,
but struggled as if apparently trying to
push each other back. It soon became
plain to th men, however, that instead
of pushing they were pulling away from
each other. In other words their horns
had become locked, and from raging
combatants the bucks became fright
ened animals, and were only bent on se
curing a divorce. Messrs. Ross, Pol
lock and party then conceived the idea
of taking advantage of the helpless con
dition of the bucks and capturing them.
They made a great rush for the scene,
but before they reached it the deer in
their struggles approached too near the
edge of the cliff and both of them fell
to their death in the pool below. When
the party reached the water the deer
were found locked in each other's horns
quite dead.
Tho gentlemen thought to skin the
deer and bring in the hides to lend an air
of authenticity to the tale, but the law
is so strict as to having in your posses
sion tho hide of a newly deceased deer.

grippe, commits suicide or falls out of a

Three American Queens.
Three little dirty, half clad girls made
a brief sensation on upper Broad waj- tho
coldest day recently. The eldest was
not more than eight, and her companions
might have been six and seven respec
tively. The eight-year-old carried a
faded, rib rotten parasol that had once
been pale blue, and her two companions
were trying vV squeeze their heads un
der it, whilu they carried the rear of
their short dresses in one hand, as ladies
manipulate their trains at a muddy
crossing.
The eldest divided her attention be
tween the proper angle for the parasol
and getting her little skirt down low
enough to touch t'ne sidewalk, which
she occasionally accomplished by stoop
ing. Three pairs of feet were" visible
through the dilapidated shoes, and the
shabby old July hats wouldn't have
oeen picked out of the gutter. And
A Santa Fe Incident.
It was fiilent in the chair car, and the clanking
of t he rails
Made a frame to hang a poem on of jingling
joys or wails;
The cattleman from Burlington was dramming
on the pane;
The state house clerk was whistling on a card
some low refrain;
The high brow ed girl from Lawrence was en
gaged in her "Bazaar:"
Der krosry man von Veechita was chewing a
seegar.
When the train stopped atEudora with a fizzle
sizzle chug,
And took a soft eyed siren on the Santa Fe
plug.
Her carriage, faoo and figure were perfection,
and her smile
Was a shimmered, tangled day dream as ahe
drifted down the aisle.
The cattleman's ej es watered and the state
house clerk was dazed;
Der krosry man von Veechita in dizzy rapture
gazed;
The frizless girl from Lawrence put her glasses
on and saw
A particularly interesting view across the
Kaw,
While the siren sat there coyly as a kitten on
a rug
The siren from Eudora on the Santo Fe plug.
And as tho train reached Argentine tho cattle
man grew rash.
He cleared hia throat and nervously pulled at
his roan mustache.
Der Veechita maa lost his nerve, the state
house clerk grew gray.
And as he saw the cattleman he made a bold
sashay.

Oh, Kate, tho maid who regulates
The domicile wherein I dwell,
Goes twice to church on Sabbath day.
And otherwise comports her welL
Within her heart, as I opine,
A thousand varied virtues bloom;
But in my heart what weight of woo
When Kato has done my room!
The picture of my latest girl
Lies in the basket kept for waste;
One shoe is hid beneath tho bed,
Its mate behind the trunk is placed.
Old refuse papers all are saved,
Those yet unread have met their doom.
And everything is upside down
When Kat6 has done my room.
My shoebrush's on tho mantelpiece,
My toothbrush nestles on the floor;
The whiskbroom and my button hook
Are out of sight forevermore;
And nothing's w here it used to be.
Save in my heart eternal gloom;
And life becomes a thing of pain
When Kate has done my room.

Narrow Wagon Tires and Bad Roads.
While the subject of new roads is be
ing agitated by the legislatures and the
agricultural journals, the farmers aro
busy working np the subject in a prac
tical though possibly not in the most
proper way by industriously, and at
much expense of 'ime and team, cutting
np and destroj'ing the roads by driving
heavily loaded, narrow tired wagons
over them. When we see a man on a
, heavily loaded, narrow tired wagon urg
ing along his jaded team, engaged to his
utmost power in making mud, and then
grumbling because of the "horrid'
muddy roads, he seems to be an object
for pity.
The only thing he seems disposed to
do to make matters different is to throw
some hard words into tho muddiest
places, and then continne his custom of
turning out on to the highway with his
rut digger every time the ground is too
wet for plowing. Now, if the legisla
ture is to do anything for the roads, let
them begin by legislating the narrow
tires off the heavy lumber and truck
wagons. I have seen a single heavy,
narrow tired wagon in the distance of a
half mile cause more damage than could
be repaired in six days of ordinary road
work.
The question seems to be about this
Coolness In a Mixed College.
There is a coolne3 between the boys
and the girls of the Stanford university.
It all came about from a question of pro
priety. The boys gave a ball in their
dormitory hall on Monday night, to
which they invited all the girl students,
as well as the professors. Elaborate
preparations were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening of enjoy
ment. They hired a baud, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two of the more modest and re
tiring of the maidens in the girls' dormi
tory were shocked at the avowed inten
tion of some of the girls to attend the
ball, and called a meeting of the girls, at
which there was a long discussion of the
affair.
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball aa
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read a strong
lecture on the evils of such doings, and,
on a vote, there was a majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none of
them went.
The boys waited long for the coming
of the fair ones, but they came not. At
first the collegians, were very angry.
Then they took tho dancing floor them
selves and made a "stag" party of it.

Which is the better economy, wide J tivities they will send no invitations to
tires and good roads or narrow tires and
bad roads? The narrow tires are as
much out of place on the farm as on the
highway. Men admit that facts and
philosophy are in favor of wide tires,
and say that when all the others use
wide tires they will do so. They seem
to be afraid that they will do more than
their proportionate share of good in this
world. It seems that the legislature
may have to help them out of their ruts.

Jji Madison, Wis., there is a chief of
police, J. E. Adamson, who is clubbing
himself. Saturday he visited Chicago
to get Thomas Kingston, aged fourteen,
who was wanted at Madison for larceny.
He had been arrested by Chicago offi
cers, liate in the evening he hand
cuffed himself to young Kingston and
started for the train. Before it reached i
Desplaines the chief was snoring loud
and long.
Kingston is a cunning little rascal.
He saw his opportunity. He quietly
went through the pockets of the sleeping
chief and found the key which unlocked
his handcuff. Stealthily he crept over
the snoring officer, and when the train
stopped at Desplaines the chief and his
youthful prisoner parted company.
The train had gone a good many
miles when Chief Adamson awoke. Of
course he was mad, but when he looked
for the key with which to remove the
handcuff from his own wrist his wrath
knew no bounds, for Tommy had taken
it with him. All efforts to remove the
bracelet were fruitless, and nntil he
reached Madison his left hand and wrist
were buried deep in his overcoat pocket.
They were "ontof sight."
Kingston was picked up by Chicago
officers. He is at the Desplaines street
station waiting for another bout with
Chief Adamson. Chicago Tribune.

"A month hence," says a California

be remembered, is the shallow inland
Bea which was formed by a break in the
Colorado river, whose water.s in modern
times, at least, flowed into the Gulf of
California, as we know it. The basin of
the short lived lake, however, was ones
a part of the gnlf, and if the flow of
water had continued gome modern im

till spring, when the lake may refill.
Any device that could render it perma

upon the dreaded Arizona climate, of

A Tremendous Barley Farm.
"We have now secured 250,000 acres
of land in North Dakota for barley
farms, and next spring we will send
thousands of German emigrants to that
state from Ohio, West Virginia and In
diana," said Colonel 0. M. Towner aa
he discussed the future of this great
northern state. Colonel Towner is man
ager of what is best known as the Barley
syndicate of Chicago. During the last
two or three months the company has
succeeded in securing 250,000 acres of
land in North Dakota, on which it is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Norman, Towner, Kanisey, Steele and
Bottineau counties.
It is the opinion of the managers of
this company that barley can be most
successfully grown in that state, and
they have the conviction of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states.
The Germans are chosen on account of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose. These emigrants will not
be tenants, but owners of the land, it
being sold to them on easy terms. The
crops will be bought by the company
and shipped to all points where there is
a demand for barley. St. Paul Pioneer

To Celebrate the Marseillaise.
Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants of Choisy-Ie-Roi, outside of
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what is vaguely called
the "Centenary of the Marseillaise."
Choisy-le-Roi claims to possess the dust
