It seems a little strange that members of congress do not see that oneof the most popular moves theycould make, would be to enact somelegislation against the leading mon-opolies of the country. Take forinstance, the Standard Oil companyor the coal syndicates. They areconstantly grinding down the lowerclasses by their extortions, and ifstatesmen would take hold andwork assidously until some lawsbreaking up their nefarious com-binations were enacted, he wouldbecome a leader in the land.

The farmer gets about or nearlyas much this winter for 1,000bushels of corn as he did last winterfor 2,000 bushels. Last year at thistime corn brought 20 ceuts in thismarket and hogs $3.25 to $3.50. ' Ittakes time tS'husk 1,000 bushels ofcorn and handle it several times andhaul it to market, and so whenprices are better there is compensa-tion for the loss of half a cr op.Taking everything into considera-tion 1887 closes as favorably to thefarmers as did 1886. The Chieftainbelieves that nine-tent- hs of thefarmers of Johnson county areworth double the amount they werein 1880, and it is glad of it. Theyhave worked hard for it and deserveprosperity.

P. T. Barnum gave the childrenof Dr. Collyer's Church, New York,a nice talk Wednesday, telling themwhat Sunday school was like seventyyears ago, when a boy got a ticketworth a mill, if he was very, verygood, said tickets accumulating tothe extent of a cent's worth atabout the end of a year. With acent thus earned it was thought theproper thing to buy a tract or cate-chism. Old P. T. 'Barnum has beenguilty of some professional hum-bugge- ry,

but we forget the mer-maids and Cardiff giants in our wil-

lingness to accept the old gentle-man as a useful sort of a citizenafter all. Doesn't seem quit likely,though, that all the early invest-ments of Phineas were in tracts andcatechisms.

What am I to Do.The symptoms of BilKousness are unhappily

but too well known. They differ in differentindividuals to some extent. A billions man isseldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alashe has an excellent appetite for liquids but nonofor solids of a morning. His tongue will hardlybear inspection at.any time: if is not whiteand furred, it is rough, at all events.

The digestive system is wholly out of order andDiarrhea or Consumption may be a symptom orthe two may alternate There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may bo giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatu-lence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach,To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green'sAugust Flower, it cost but a trifle and thousandeattest its efficacy.

"While at a station on the lowerMississippi Admiral Farragnt gaveorders for the crews of the gunboatsto get their fresh meat from thecountry.

CaptainLinnekih sent him a quarter-o- f thisbeef, and received a very cordial ac-

A famous case has been decidedin Silesia, a province of Germany,which establishes the rooster s rightto crow. A comfortable citizen,who enjoyed sleeping rather late inthe morning, was much disturbedby a neighbor's rooster which insisted upon filling the air everymorning with his resounding cnck--

The rooster seemednot only to be very proud of hiscrow, but to be under the impression that all the world was eager tohear it as soon as the day began.The gentleman whose rest was disturbed by the crowing, after endur-ing it patiently for a time, wentinto court and made a complaintagainst the rooster, praying tor theprotection of the court against thedisturbance of his sleep. The courtdecided,

.however, that the right to

1' 11 Tcrow is, to a rooster, inaiienaDie anaand irremovable, that the roosterwould not know how to live withoutcrowing, and that neither the com-plainant nor any other person couldproduce a sane and healthy roosteithat did not crow. The only wayto get rid of the crowing, they said,was to get rid of tbe roosters, whichwas a course not to be thought of.

The plaintiff was non-suite- d; andhe fancied that the rooster crowedthe next morning with greatervigor and carlessness than ever.

Exchange.Damel Goodwin, of Weymouth,

has a German silver hand, and not

withstanding the fact that there artno fingers on it, he is able to keeppace at his trade that of carpen-tering with those blessed with thecustomary number of digits. Aninjury to Mr. Goodwin's own handnecessitated its amputation. It wasnot until he had invented a substi-tute, which he hoped would enablehim to support himself and family,that he would consent to having itamputated. His scheme consists ofa socket, reaching half way to theelbow, into which socket the stumpis placed, and at the other end ofwhich a hole is drilled with a threadcut. The contrivance is a greatsuccess. Mr. Goodwin has a sur-

prisingly large number of usefultools that fit into this tapped hole,and he drive nails all day with ahammer that is held in place by acheck nut scremed against the endof the socket. As soon as he sitsdown to dinner he pulls a tableknife out of one of his pockets withhis left hand, screws it into thesoeket, and proceeds to business.Boston Herald.

That "convenient," but at thesame time persistent, unfeeling andaltogether ill advised person, theprominent member of congress, con-gress, continues to manifest thegreatest hostility to the division ofthe territory of Dakota, if thatif that question must be settled bycongresss before admission. Thefact is that there are a couple ofhundred congressmen, really themajority of the house, interested inthe admission of one of the terri-tories, and anxious to go in togeth-er to pull all four Dakota, Mon-tana, Washington and New Mexico

through. They know that thechances of all will be jeopardized ifthere is opposition to one, aud theywill give Dakota no considerationuntil she has settled her divisionfight with herself. This stand hasbeen so obstinately taken that itbegins to look as if Dakota wouldhave to dismiss one or the other ofher aspirations, however desirabledivision or statehood may be.Charlie Voorhees of WashingtonTerritory, says he shall not insistupon adding the panhandle of Idahoto his territory jf great oppositionis manifest, for the territory hascast 6u,000 votes outside the femalevote, which would show populationenough for admission. He is wil-

ling to have his bill amended whenit comes into the house so as to in-

clude Dakota, for he believes, al-

though a democrat, that Dakotashould be admitted, but he says thatnone of the territories should beadmitted, but he says that none ofthe territories will be taken in this3ear. Enabling acts for all of themwill be provided so that the peoplecan vote on them at the next presi-dential election. But no chancewill be given any of them to votefoi the next president. A residentof the territory who is here nowsays that the division sentiment hasall dien out; while a large majorityfor it was cast in 1885; the majoritylast year was against it. Washing-ton Special.
