Thirteen is an unlucky number anys
nay. It's better to let Bryan have one
of Kentucky's thirteen electoral .votes.
Wo bato to mention it but fcol that
we must: If tho Yukon Weekly man
will tell the roller boy to take some moro

ers of his paper.

History tells us that when Richard I.
of England was thrown into prison over
cast his "Battle Ax" was taken from
him. This would not have happened if
the lion hearted kins bad chewed fine
cut
Tho Taloga Advocate asks why some
of the big herds do not locato in D
county and a little further on tells
about the people in some of tho town-
ships voting overwhelmingly for herd
law. Strange that big herds don't locate
there isn't it?
An unassuming Kansas editor lets his
imagination run thusly: " 'Truth lies
at tho bottom of a well.' Wo havo of
ton veriGcd that statement by looking
into a well and ecing Truth's honest
countenance mirrorrcd in the smooth
water."
Tho worst blizzard ever known at tiiis
lime of year has been raging the last
few days in tho Pakotas and Minnesota.
Heavy losses of stock aro reported and
the blizzard still continues with unabated
fury. In places tho snow has drifted
fifty feet deep and nearly all trains aro
blockaded.
The biggest Gght that has occurred
during the whole Cuban rebellion took
place last week in tho provenco of Pinar
del Ilio. General Weyler with 35000
men attacked the Cuban General Macco
wh&sc forces were entrenched in a range
of hills. Weyler was defeated in a two
days' battle losing 2000 men killed and
twice that many wounded. The Cubans
killed 700 Spaniards by springing a
dynamite mine. Who said the Cubans
couldn't scrap?
The territorial papers contain accounts
of crimes of all kinds from chicken
stealing to murder. Petty thieving is
rampant in most of the counties. It is
n noticcablo fact that crime of all kinds
is conspicuous in Beaver county by its
absence. Some of our contemporaries
may be mean enough to insinuate that
there is nothing here to tempt a thief
or that we don't publish (he news but
such is not the case. Beaver county
has fewer real poor people than any
county in the territory and there's plenty
hero to tempt the pilferer but wo believe
there are moro honest law abiding cit-
izens and fewer thieves among her 3500
peoplo than in any like number of peo-
ple in the world Beaver is tho biggest
county in tho territory and in this case
the biggest is host and the best is cheap-
est. Come to Beaver county.
Oh merry glad republicans who
meet to laugh anp whoop do you pivo a
single thought to us who now are in the
soup? Do you ever speak ono word of
pity in a kind fraternal way for the
blighted blighted legions who are in the
consomme? For the consommo is
chilly 'tis among tho sternest facts
nnd 'tis hard to get tho verdict where
the chicken got the axe. So although I
do not blarao you when you laugh and
when you whoop j would ask you: "Do
you sorrow for the legions in the soup?"
Oh merry glad republicans don't pile
it on too thick for the blighted fusion
legions they are fei.ling mighty sick.
So I hopo that you'll regard us though
we're not within the fold for it's very
hard is fusion when tho weather is so
cold; and if you who bavo protection
think it's summer weather still well I
wish that you were out here where tho
weather is so chill. So I ask jou oh
my brothers while you chuckle howl
and whoop "won't you kindly sparo a
teardrop to the legions in the soup?"
Minneapolis Messenger.
Guthrie Nov. 28. Rev. B. D.'Cam-
eroo territorial auditor and superinten-
dent of public instruction resigned to-
day and A. 0. Nichols the assistant
auditor was appointed to fill tbo vacan-
cy. Mr. Cameron had been drawing
tbe salary of the office and receiving pay
as a preacher for several years but the
bishop recently transferred him to Mus-
kogee I. T.
liaise Good Horses.
In an address at the opening of a
great horso sale at Chicago a few days
ago Mr. J. F. Berry predicted a good
advance in horses for the next year and
suggested that breeders and producers
havo everything now to encourage them.
Continuing ho said:
"There havo been but very few colts
foaled throughout all this great country
for the last two or three yean. Still
the consumption has been going on. Al-
though the prices havo been very law
farmers havo been obliged to sell their
horses. So at tho present day there can
be no over-supply of hofbcs in tho coun-
try and as thoy havo noLthc colts com-
ing en there is sure to be a shortage in
horses for a number of years tp come
and as the law of supply and demand
governs all values the great increase in
business should nearly double tho de-
mand for good horses and this being
the case if farmers and breeders are not
producing horses where will tho supply
come from? The great demand will
necessarily make good horses including
high-class drivers business and draft
horses very high. From ono to two
and three years at the outside all of
theso classes of horses will be scarce and
dearer in our markets tliau they over
havo been. Let mo say to breeders
there are only two kinds of horses that
it in profitable to breed nt the present
day; that is Inch class light harness
horses with size shape quality and col-
or and tho highest class heavy draft
horses. These aro tho kinds that arc
going to bo in the greatest demand and
bring tho best prices."
The following from tho Clayton N.
M. Enterprise applies equally as well
to the newspapers of this territory:
"We ask the territorial papers to sec
their legislative representatives and do
something in tho way of helping tho de-
serving struggling newspapers of this
territory. In no way can this bo dono
moro easily than to pass tho Bolton
newspaper law. This law requires that
a newspaper should be at least 52 week
old before being eligible as a competitor
against old papers for publio or legal
printing: As it is now the old honest
struggling paper which builds up and
stays with the town and country has no
protection agaiust the itinerant tramp
newspaper which rushes in spasmodical-
ly takes the work for nothing and quits
the country after tho job is completed.
So long as this club is held over tho
country editor ho cannot bo a man but
must bo a peon and scab to meet tho
retrogressive scab who forced tho demors
alization of country journalism. Broth-
ers of the legitimate press of this tcrrii
tory can bco tho point and should do
something to help tho poor struggling
territorial press hold its ttwn. We can-
not make good creditable papers and
by so doing help our respective towns
locally and our territory in generalun-
less wo have some legal protection
against tho vicious and unscrupulous
'outfits en wheels.' "
Thero is no occasion for anybody to
get excited or tear their shirt over the
prospect of the extension of the Rock
Island southwest from Liberal. The
chances are that the Rock Island will
never build until tho Santa Fo forces it
to by extending tho Mulvane extension
southwest from Englewood thus cutting
off tho cattlo shipping interests of Beav-
er county and the north tier of connties
in tho Panhandle from tho Rock Island.
The latter road already gets all tho pat-
ronage of tho cattlemen and the travel-
ing publio "from Bcnver west and to
build an extension would bo merely an
enormous outlay of money with no as-
suranco of gaining any considerable ad-
ditional revenue and railroad companies
aro not in tho habit of doing that.
One hundred miles of road added to
tho Santa Fe from Englewood would bo
worth moro to the company than all tbe
present line between Mulvano and
Englewood for besides holding tho
business it already has it would gain
nearly all of the Rock Island's Beaver
county and Panhandle traffic which
represents twMhirds of tho business of
tho Liberal branch west of Rucklin
aside from the natural increaso resulting
from the development of tho country.
Tho Santa Fe may possibly build inside
of the next four years and if it does tho
Rock Island will follow suit; two or
three good towns will be built on tho
Beaver river and our county will be
cut in two at least once. It would bo a
good thing fr Beaver county and inci-
dentally a good thing for the railroads;
if these two linei should bo extended
but we haven't notiecd any movo being
made in that direction as yet. Keep

And when is tlm end to come when
is he to get acrotts? Way along last
winter some time Walter E. Younger of
Woodward jumped his job on tho News
and pulled his freight for Cuba with the
nvowed intention of besmearing tho
cano-brakes of that island with rich red
Cnstiliun gore or spilling his own life
blood in bleeding Cuba's cause. Ho
got as far as Florida where ho has been
all summer eating oranges'und watching
for a chanco to get across to tho scut of
war; from tho articles appearing in the
News from time to time ono would sup.
pose that ho has boen sitting on the
bfach day nnd uighl watching for n
boat. Wo doubt not that Waller would
scrap if he could reach the island he's
n coubin to Uuic anu rsou nut wucn we
consider thut scores of American filli-
busters and a number of vessels laden
with arms fur tho Cubans have made tho
tiip success fully it looks as though ho
should have got thcro by thi time. Wo
suggest that tho News keep still about
him until he gets across or cuincs home;
or better still call him iu and send out
tho typewriter. We don't want it
known that an Oklahoma man has wore
out three or four pairs of pants by sitting
arouud waiting for a chance to cross the
straight while people from all over the
country go and como almost at will.

Texas Fever ticrm?.
Columbia Mo. Nov. 25. The recent
outbreak of Texas fever in tho vicinity
of Hannibal has caused an unusual dem-
onstration of interest in tho experiments
with Texas fever germs now being
conducted hero by tho Missouri Agricul-
tural college. Prof. II. J. Waters
dean of the college has received many
letters regarding the results of tho ex-
periments this season. Those in charge
of tbo experiments aro working on sev
eral theories. They havo already
proved to their satisfaction that cattle
may be so thoroughly cleansed to Texas
ticks by means of a simplo solution of
black Virginia oil nnd carbolic acid as
to not ouly free them of the fever but
raako them perfectly safe to be put in
inclosurcs with other caltie.
Dr. J. W. Connoway of tho Missouri
University ha just returned from a
trip through the south for tlio purpose
of explaining tho remedy to stockmen
and his lectures have been so successful
that ''dippiog stations" will bo estab-
lished at many places in Mississippi and
Louisiana. That is huge vats will be
constructed containing tho solution and
infected cattle will be driven into tho
fluid to cleanse them of tho ticks. One
application is almost invaribly effective.
Wichita Eagle: Ex-Senator Temple
Houston of Texas now of Woodward
Oklahoma presented to David U.
Leahy of this paper yesterday a relio of
more than ordinary interest. "It is
taken frora a spot" said tho eloquent
Texan "immortalized by Irish valor and
consecrated by Irish heroism."
Tho relio in question is a Colt's revol-
ver dug up recently from the soil In
thtt historio spot in Oklahoma where
brave Pat Hennessey was massacred by
Indians under the leadership of that
famous warrior butnhcr "Dull Knife"
of the Cheyenne tribe. Tho revolver
laid on that baltleOeld for twenty-two
year8and was ouly recently discovered.
It belonged to ono of the Indians who
attacked Hennessey and who probably
bit the dust in that memorable engage-
ment between a. troop ol'savogcs ano ono
sturdy hearted Irishman. Tho supposi-
tion that the Indian was killed is based
on tho fact that tho revolver was struck
twico by thu bullets from Hennessey's
rifle. The dents aro yet visible. It
still contains two loads but the caps
haro long since disappeared being eaten
away by rust.
That was tho most memorablo fight
probably ever fought on American soil
by one man ngaiust great odds. It is
considered a greater fight than that
made by tho famous Davy Crockett.
Tho bravo Hennessey killed seventeen
Indians according to reports given sinco
by Indians who engaged in tho contest.
Where he stood was strewn with rillo
shells. Were it not for an accident he
would havo killed more. Ho fired so
rapidly that one of the cartridges becamo
fat in tho breech of tho riflu and he
was unable to shoot any more. When
ho ceased firing tho Indians rushed upon
him and killed him with their knivrs.
It is also said that they clubboJ him
with tho butt ends of their revolvers.
A hero fell when Pat Hennessey bit the
dust. After ho was clubbed nnd
stabbed ho was tied to tho wheel of his
wagon and a hro ktuuleu around turn.
It h also said that pieces of bauon were
thrown into tho firo to add to tho inten-
sity of the heat A day or two after-
ward his charred remains wcro found by
other freighters and buried. Tho grave
is a few bundled yards north of Hen-
nessey on tho right of way of tho Rock
Island railroad. Tho railroad company
erected a monument over tho gravo tho
section men keep flowers on it all tho
year round and every man who passes
it lingers by the sacred spot and drinks
deep of tho memory of Hennessey's un
paralleled heroism. The revolver now
badly eaten by rust was dug up about
150 feet from his "gravo. Hennessey
was a government freighter and when
he was killed ho was on his way from
Caldwell to Fort lie no with military
supplies.
