THE
"Bat" Shea, the notorious election
>'plugger"of Troy, N. Y-, has been
centenecd to death iu the electrical
chair during the week of December
■J3 for the brutal murder of a dial-
lengei i.t the polls. His punishment
ought to be a warning to election
plungers a)l over the country.—K-
C. Star.
The potato crop of the United
Slates this year is 282 (100,000
bushels, or about 100,000,0tl0 bush-
els more than the crop of 1804. The
onion harvest also is the largest ever
known in this country. The bounties
of 18H5, agriculturally and politi
rally, will make it memorable.—St.
Louis Globe Democrat
A bill in the Cherokee Legislature
has passed both Houses over
the governor's veto, prohibiting the
employment by Cherokee citizens
of non-citizen cletks, bookkeeders
or managers for any mercantile es
thblisliu.ent. The measure ha-
caused great uneasiness thoroughoui
the nation and among the merchants,
who will find it almost impossible
to transact busines and comply with
the laws.
PATKNT. EFFECT ■ F ISSUE. JUIIIS-
lllCTTMN.
Where a patent has been signed,
sealed and reported, the cum in in
is entitled to have it delivered to
him and the Deuariment lias neither
the power nor the right to withhold
it from him.
Oklahoma has the absolutely sure
crops cotton, Kaffir corn, and broom
corn; and every farmer should have
twenty acres of cotton, ten acres of
kaftir, and live acres of broom corn,
and divide his other lands between
wheat, oats, field corn, fruit, vegeta-
bles, and pasture anil meadow.
Diversity will banish hard times. No
matter how bad the year, all cannot
fail.—Slate Capital.
For nearly thirty years "John
Brown's Body" and "Dixie" have
been marching down the paths ol
time with quite a perceptible chasm
between them. "Dixie came North
several years ago, ansl (wns at once
accepted us a very -pleasant melody.
Now at. Inst "John Brown's Body"
has gone South to Atlanta, and has
been cheered by "Dixie" loving peo
pie. The two songs w ill live for ever
and as long as this generation lasts
they will touch the chords of solemn
memories. But they are the niu-ic of
one country, and will be sun^ in tlie
future with a common patriotism.—
JKansas City Star.
AllW LAND-*.
One who mak'S a homestead en-
try on arid land in the belief that
he will be aide to irrigate the same
through the use of water to be ob-
tained from a proposed government
resevoir, and abandons the land so
entered oti account oi its worthless
character, is not entitled to make a
second homestead entry under the
oeiieral term > f the homestead law
or the special provisions of the Act
of I) ceniber '2H h, 1801.
APPLICATION TO JtNTElt. CONFLICT-
ING ENTKY.
An appitation to enter, rejected
on account of partial conflict, with
a prior entry, does not operate to
reserve the land not in coi flict where,
instead of appealing from such re-
jection, the applicant contests the
prior entry; nor does the pendency
of such contests reserve the tract not
hi conflict for the benefit of the ap-
plicant.
Where a desert entryman has, in
good faith, reclaimed such portions
of lhe land as are susceptable of re
clauiiition, the non-irrigable character
of the land will not defeat his right
lo patent, or justify cancellation of
his entry.

"The prohibitory provisions of
of section 1-4 of the Act of March,
2nd, 1880, w ith respect to settlement
Colorado Springs, Colo , N >v ni-
lier, 12 —l he Well-l'-ogo Kx e.-s
)niii)iaiiv has given out th - fodow ing
offi • iat statement regarding the rob-
liery at tlie Santa Fe Depot about
'0 o'clock lust night:
"Twenty thousand dollars was
sent from Denver to the First N-ili
una I Bank of Colorado jSprings
earl* in lhe alternoou. Tlie money
was in currency of small denomina-
tion , mid was received about 4
o'clock, and too late to be delivered
io the bank. The package contain
mo the money was placed iu the
depot safe and both doors locked.
There was nothing to iudicte its
value Evidently the thieves knew
of its exisiance. When train Aln.O
I nme in, about. 0:43, there were
other packages aboard with currency
to the amount of $35,000, cons gned
to the Ha me bank. These packages
were delivered to the agent and
placed in the safe with the other.
After the train Imo departed the
ti •rent, George Krout, went to the
platform to straighten the trucks
which were standing there, anil when
lie relumed to the office lie was met
at tiie door by two masked men
with drawn revolvers. I lie pack-
age containing the *-0,000 was de-
manded, and the agent was com^ell
ed to open the safe and give it up.
the agent said nothing about the
remaining packages, and the rol
bers left at once. The standing
rewards of 1300 each for information
or arrest of ilie robbers, of courc
holds good, and the amount will un-
doubtedly be increased"
The express company's officials
believe that the robbery whs com
milted by A. .1. Gray, alias Sam
Wells, and J. G Stuart, alias C. .1-
Siarr. who .vere arrested for the theft
of $10,000 from the express wagon
at Cripple Creek, April 11, and who
recently in company with Tom Mc
Crathy, escaped from the jail in this
ctty. R. T. Montgomery, who was
a prisoner at the time of the escape,
notified the police ar Denver several
days ago that Gray and Stuart plot-
led when in jail lo rob the express
company again.

"A humble boy With shining pail
