Tbe card of tbe Wright House appears in
thia issue of the paper. Sir. and Mrs. W.
H. Ly Brand have the management, and on
Thurrdsy night last opened the botes with
a banquet to the citizens of Dodge City.
The house hss undergone many improve
ments and superior accommodationa are of
fered lo the traveling public Under the
present management Ihe houe will become
popular. There ia an air of neatceaa and
good order which ia commendable, which
will make the gueets comfortable. Mrs. Ly
Brand has charge of the household, and the
public have knowledge of her skillful man
agement. The past few weeka in Dodge have been one
dormant a lying in, pending a grand voy
age, or a calm before the storm. It ia the
era of balls the dress ball, the mask ball,
and Ihe high ball. In a suspended business
animation the dancing amusement holds. A
proper cultivation of tbe heels is an excel
lent thing it saves the wear and tear of Ihe
brain and affords innocent recreation. There
are two and three balls every week and high
ba'l every night. Tbe high ball votary is
not a dancer. It ia well to remark that the
high ball ia a joker game, balls numbered
instead of cards determining the game. This
game has become fashionable, and every
well regulated establishment has a high ball
attachment. High, ball yanks the ban il
catches tbe unwary.
Under ihe Congressional Apportionment
bill aa passed by the House, Kansas will be
entitled lo seven members of Congress. Four
of Ihia number will be elected trom tbe State
it large, until the legislature reapportions
the State into Congressional districts. 'Ihe
addition of four member of Congress to the
Kansas delegation will start up congression
al aspirants like a herd of jack rabbits in an
apple orchard. In Kansas, where there is
no lack of material for congressional timber,
we expect every county will furnish one or
more candidates. The Arkanaaw Valley
will furnish several candidates, and decency1
requires that we should have one member,
and il ia immaterial to us whether he ia ac
credited to Ford or Pawnee county.
Col. J.W. Straughn, Superintendent of the
Dodge City Mining Company, a few days
ago received encouraging new from the
mining district in which Ihe Dodge City
Company's mines are located. The owners
of the Gertrude mine have struck gold ore
which assays $18,000 to the ton. The Ro
meo, a mine contiguous to the Gertrude, is
owned by the Dodge City Mining Company.
Expert! place aa high valuation upon the
Romeo aa upon the Gertrude. The develop
ment of the latter, with each astounding re
sults, measurably incremaea the value of the
Romeo. Adjoining these two ia the Bever
ley mine, belongiog to tbe Dodge City Co.
Thia prospect premise grander result man
either the Gertrude or the Borneo. Tbe gra
tifying outlook ia miking the embroyo mil.
lionairtt in Dodge much elated. May we
all get there.

A railroad accident near the summit of
Marshall Pass, Col, resulted in a serious in

Boulby, brakeman, and Moose, fireman. A
passenger train ran into the caboose of a

fatal.
"We would," says our religious exchange
at Wichita, "respectfully call the Lord's
attention to a poor girl who lays on a pile of
straw in the old Nugent bakery building,
north of the Occidental hotel. The girl is
very s'ck and has neither friends nor money.
When the Lord gets through with hia church
fairs, festivals, raffles and gambling we wish
He would give this girl some medicine and a
curse.
The horses on the Dakota county, Neb.,
bottom are, many of Ihem, suffering from a
disease that promise to make hone proper
ty undesirable. During the last stage of
the ailment the horse affected fall down on
the slightest provocation or wander around
in an aimless way, and generally do not
show good horse sense. Such as have been
dviecled after death show the coating of the
stomicb eaten full of hole by worm that
are found in great number'. Aa the horaea
thai run looee in the timber and tbe bluff
are not troubled, the disease ia supposed to
come from tbe stagnant water, either direct
ly or indirectly.
Tbe importance of good blooded itockef
all kinds ha been argued, discussed and
urged upon stock-growers for years; and jet
we have great need for improvement. It ia
difficult to make some men believe there is
anything in the blood of an animal but the
feed. 'Mr. Boy tell ua that he started,
eight year ago, with one thorough-bred cow
andbulL He ha old nine head of ball
calves, and hu on hand twenty head of cows,

Tbe late cold wave from Ihe north swept
down upon us with unmerciful severity,
creating some alarm among stork who fortu

freight, breaking both the lep ol Seeley, J Roden w rested here two years past lut
November for thefl, the state not being
ready for trial Roden was required to give
bonds for his appearance which be did, and
made bis escape immediately afterwards,
since that time up to hia recent arrival here
hia whereabout has been unknown to this
community. If Roden flatter himself that
Ihe people of thia section of the coantryhave
forgiven him for hi past act he ia very
much mistaken, and we have good reasoc to

to take up his abode in than Ihia locality.

GOATS PROTECTING SHEEP.
From the New Tork Run.
The farmer of Hunterdon and Somerset
counties, New Jersey, us goat to protect
their sheep from dogs. Two goat can drive
away a dozen dogs, and two are about all
each farmer put in with hi sheep A soon
a a dog enter the Geld at night the goat
attack him, and their butting propensities
are loo much fcr tbe canine, who aeon find
himself rolling over and over. A few re
petition of thia treatment cause the dog to
quit tbe field, limping and yelling. Former
ly, when a dog entered a sheep field at night
the sheep would run wildly around and cry
piuously. Sine the goat have been used
lo guard Ihem they form in line behind tbe
goats, and eeem t enjoy the fan. The idea
of utilizing goat in thia way came from the
Wert, where they are put in abeep psxa to
drive away wolves.
