Charles Reynolds, returning froma visit to his brother at Anadarko,arrived here Monday evening. Afterspending a day with old friendshere, he left on Wednesday for' hishome at Leavenworth.

Frank Van Horn, the little one, from Anadarko, gladdened our sanc-tum Tuesday. He is clerking in thelarge establishment of A. J. Rey-nolds, and is visiting this placo tohave a good time with his numer-ous friends.

John Baird claims to have had usin chargq during the stock conven- -

tion at Caldwell. John is a splen-did fellow to be out with, besides hewas of use (o us in getting acquaint-ed with shx.'k men.

The price of Texas Siftings, thehumorous paper published at Aus-

tin, and which has already gained a

circulation of 11,000, is $2.00 a year.We will wnd Siftings and the Tiians-poktk- h

one year to any address foi$2.25, twenty-fiv- e cents more thanthe price of Siftings alone.

We desire parties who ,havo straycattle or horses in their herds to re-

port the same to us for publication.By this means our local stock menmay not only confer a favor on us,but save their neighbors a good dealof hard riding.

The Mennonite school is to b(

continued during the summer Rev.Haury will put up two tents andwill also use a small house whichwas saved from the fire. He certainly displays extraordinary ener-

gy and determination.Rev. Krchbicl took Smith, an

Arapahoe boy, home with him. Tinboy had been detected in pott)thieving and was working on the

rock pile at Reno until he startednorth. Rev. K. thinks that by taking him away from the influence."of camp life he may possibly bemade a useful man.

W. IS. Campbell (Short-Horn- ) ex-

hibited a herd of thoroughbredHereford cattle on the streets oi

Caldwell, March 2nd. The herdconsisted of calves, yearlings andadults of both sexes, and a finer lotof animals is seldom seen. Some oj

these cattle, we understand, are foisale this spring.

H. M. Vaile& Co. have the Cald-well-Fo- rt

Sill mail contract for tinnext four years from July first. A

clerk in the postoflice department atWashington lately remarked thatthis is one of the most cfiiricrit mailines in the United States, a factwhich all who are supplied by it willattest, These gentlemen arc expe-

rienced contractors and understandtheir business, but how they are toget out on $8,900 a year for this line-i-

a problem.Rev. Krehbiel and his companion

Mr. Richards left on the 3d instantfor Halstead, Kansas. They wereaccompanied by Mrs. C. Ducrkson,who found Mission work too exact-ing for strength. They say that,although they have no funds forthat purpose, the Mennonite Missionwill certainly be rebuilt this sum-mc- r,

out of money to be raised byprivate subscription. These. gentle-men mean business and are so wellacquainted with their people thatther have no hesitancy in givingthe above assurance.

Mr. A. C. Williams, supf-rintond-en- t

to the schools at Pawnee Agency,was in the city a few days last week,visiting with his daughter, Mrs-Fran- k

Schiffbauer. He says therearc over one hundred scholars in theschool, and there seems to be moreof a feeling on the part of the parentsto educate their children than everbefore. In fact, the whole Pawneetribe of Indians are reaching out inthe ways of the white man, and bidfair in a few years to become one ofthe best civilized and most industrirous tribe of Indians in the Territory.

Mrs. Ii. Kuhn celebrated the 50thanniversary of her birth, on the 3dof this month.

Mr. T. F. Woodard has been quiteill for the last few days, but at pres-ent is feeling much better.

Lieut. Powell, of Fort Sill, madeAnadarko a visit of a few days ; andwhile here he was the guest of Mr.F. L. Fred.

Dr. L, L. McCabe, for along timeAgency Physician at this place, re-

turned to his home in St. Louis,where he will reside permanently.

him to uso his leg in walking, however he expects to be able to be outagain snort ly.

The Rev. J. B. Wicks returned tothis place about the 1st of the month,after a long visit at Darlington, andleft for Fort Sill on the morning ofthe 4th instant, lo look after hisinterests then.

Mr. P. A. Roniick has received avery fine carriage and harness, andnow nearly every fine Saturday youmay see him starting out over theprairie for a ride, which we think heenjoys very much.

Much credit is due Miss M. M.Meline for the success of the Fridayevening dancing entertainment thatis in vogue here, for the entertain-ment of the Indian children. Thogathering last Friday evening show-ed that that sort of instruction wasmuch enjoyed both by the Indianchildren and the white folks whowere present. We hope that all fu-

ture attempts will prove equallysuccessful.

PROSPECT PARK.

Among the breeders who are mak-

ing efforts to improve the cattle of 'theWest is Walter Tread well, of An-

thony, Kansas. He now has over300 head of high grade and thor-oughbred Short-hor-n and' Herefordcattle at Prospect Park. Of these175 are high grade and thoroughShort-hor- n cows, which are drop-ping calves that are simply "daisies"and can't be beat. It has been buta short time since Mr. Treadwclladded a number of thpr'obred cowsand four thoroughbred Short-hor- n

bulls from the celebrated herd ofAlbert Crane, of Durham Park, Kan.

At the head of his fine herd, Mr.Treadwell lias "Uncle Ben" a purebred Hereford, whose value as abreeder has been fully established.Pie gives as his opinion that theHerefords are much the best cattlefor the West, being splendid "niB-tler- s"

and capable of making a goodliving on the prairies of this country,lie will keep one Short-hor- n bull,to maintain his herd of that breed,the others, and they are first classanimals, are for sale. lie informedus that in the spring of 1883 he willhave a number of young Herefordsand Short-horn- s of his own breed-ing, for sale to ranchmen. Ho isputting forth every effort to producesuch breeding animals as are need-ed by Western ranchmen, and womistake if he is not well paid for histrouble. There never was a timewhen Western stockmen were soanxious to improve their cattle asat present, and this desire will in-

crease as the benefits become moreapparent. This will make a readymarket for all the good animals thatcan be produced.

The prairie fire that burned overa part of Sheridan and Rawlinscounties last week, finally driftedinto Colorado, and was still burningwhen the snow and sleet came, whichlatter had a dampening effect uponit. Many miles of territory wereburned over, but fortunately therewere no settlements to be harmedby it. It was the largest prairie firothat ever occured in the State, be-

yond a doubt, and is said to haveoriginated from a spark from a Kan-sas Pacific locomotive. Dodge

We have not space to describe aswo would' like the entertainmentgiven to the stockmen by the citi-zens of Caldwell, on the evening ofMarch 2nd. Dan ford Hall, the lar-gest and best in Sumner county,was elaborately and expensivelydecorated, the music was excellentand everything passed ofV harmoniously. As near as we could esti-mate the company consisted ofabout four hundred gentlemen andtwo hundred ladies. The most prom-inent stockmen were there with theirladies and gave themselves up tothe enjoyment of the occasion. Thobanquet prepared by the popularproprietor of the Leland, Mi Wood-son, was all that could be expectedor desired. The tables were loadedwith everything that the market and'the hot house could produce, andwere finely decorated and arranged.The ball and banquet will long beremembered by the stockmen andothers who were present and enjoyedthe hospitality of the people of thisenterprising town:

STRANGE FATALITY.

In Greer county the yearlingare dying from some strange

Miller counted twenty that had died in this way on Elmcreek, all wit Inn a comparativelyshort distance of one another. It issupposed that this fatality comes ofeating some poisonous weed, per-haps the loco. This weed, we be-

lieve, has little or no effect upongrown cattle, which do not eat sofreely of it ; but it is easy to believethat to young cattle, filling up on italone, it might act as poison inplace of proving a mere intoxicantas it is to horses. But whatever isthe cause, the loss to stock ownersin those parts will bo considerableif the disease continues to any

WELL, KANSAS.

(second days proceedings.)Meeting called to orsder by Pres-

ident Miller at 10 o'clock.An invitation from the chairmen

of the Barbour county Cattle Association was received and read by the.president. Ed Hewins moved thata vote of thanks be tendered the citeizens of Medicine Lodge for the in-

vitation. Carried.Chairman of inspection commit-

tee asked further time. Granted.In regard to limiting the width of

trail for through cattle, Mr. Flitchthought a dead line would be of nouse, as tho drovers would drive asthey please anyhow. Mr. Snowthought the drovers were as consid-erate as ought to have been expect-ed. Mr. Carnegie thought properresolutions embodying a request fordrovers to keep within certain, boun-daries, would accomplish something.Several gentlemen participated inthe discussion, most of them hold-ing the opinion that Texas droverswould do all they could to preventtheir stock from; ranging amondwintered cattle. 7

Mr. T. F. Pryor then offered a res?oluiion to-- the effect that a commit?-te-e

of three be appointed by thechair, to draft an address to TexaSs

OSTRICH FARMING.

What an Importer of Animals 8aysAbout tho Great Birds.

.New York Evening Tot.Mr. Charlen Reiche, the well-know- n

importer of animals, referring to thearticle on ostrich farming which ap-

peared a few evenings ago in TheEvening Post, said this morning thatwhile he had no doubt there was agood field for the business in this coun-try, a first experiment in breeding os-

triches which he had made sonaetyyearsago had been disappointing. lie im-

ported six chicks in 1875 from Nubia,Africa, expecting to keep them untilf ull-grw- n, when they would be valu-able for show purposes. As they arebirds which require a good deal ofroom, it was easier to transport themwhen young than when they attain fullsize. The six were taken to Hobokenwhen about four months old, andseemed to thrivo well; they ate vo-

raciously whatever was offered to themeven stones as big as a man's fist,

nails, oyster shells, etc. They grew sofast that the experiment was considereda highly successful one until one afteranother they began to die from somemysterious cause which was not dis-

covered until their bodies were dissect-ed. It was then found that many oftheir bones were broken, and that therich food, and too much of it, hadcaused thein to become heavy and fatbefore the bones were large enough tosupport the weight of their bodies.The bone structure had not kept pacewith the flesh. The food had been toorich.

At present there are only four os-

triches in tho country. Barnum re-

ceived two a few weeks ago, and theCincinnati Zoological garden has hadone for a number of years. At presentMr. Eeiohe has two men in Nubia andtwo in Cape Town on the lookout forsome ostiiches to fill an order for adozen from Barnum. The method ofcatching them at present is as follows :

The agent engages half-a-doze- n hunters,to whom he pays no wages but whoseexpenses he defrays. Mounted on goodhorses, these men track a herd of os-

triches, who are found in the desertusually feeding on wild melons grow-ing in tho sand, and on a bean knownto the natives as durah. The herdsvary in numbers from fifteen to fiftyadults, each male bird having in sub-jection several females. When thehuntsmen appear the whole herd takesto flight, but owing to the habit ofrunning in circles a good horsemancan make short work of the swiftestostrich. The adults are shot or stran-gled and the chicks are tied by thelegs and carried off. The feathers ofthe old birds belong to the huntsmen,who are paid in this way for the work.Instead of pulling out the feathers ofthe dead birds the natives skin thebirds, and salting the hides with arsenicand salt, to prevent decomposition,send them to London in that state.The young b'irds are then fed with any.--

kind of gram and sent to Germany,which is the great market for wildanimals of all kinds.

In hunting tho birds many eggs aresometimes found, which during theexpedition in tho desert are eaten bythe natives, one egg weighing nearlythree pounds. The eggs in tho nestare placed upright and usually coveredwith sand, the heat of tho sun aidingtho incubation during tho day whilethe bird sits on them at night. Aroundeach nest is a circle of eggs which aronot hatched, but servo as food for thochicks when they leave tho shell.

Ostrich hunting is apt to be a dan-

gerous business to anyone not familiarwith their modes of attack. One ofMr. Beiche's white agents was killedlast year by an ostrich which literallyripped the man open with its powerfulclaws. When transporting ostrichesin chips they are kept in separate case.

A. ftdl line of Saddlery constantly on hand.

Inexperienced animal dealers havesometimes allowed ostriches with otheranimals, such as goats and deer, the os-

trich ending by killing its companions ;

and ostriches have been known to killhyenas and other fierce beasts which,getting out of their cages, attackedthem.

As to the age to which an ostrichcan live in this country, it is impossibleto form any opinion. The few withwhich we have had any experiencehave been caged up and taken fromplace to place with shows, a sort oflife not conducive to longevity. Mr.Reiche doubts whether the ostrich willthrive in any state north of the snowline. The dry plains of Texas wouldprobably be the most favorable breed-ing ground. As we pay 30 per centduty on tho leathers, there would be alarge profit here if the birds could bebred with even moderate success. Theprices for young birds are much lower,according to Mr. Reiche, than thosementioned in The Evening Post.Birds from three to four months oldcan be brought here from Nubia at acost of about $800 apiece and pay afair profit.

A Terrible Situation.LoulBTllle Courier-Journa- l.

Several days ago an item appearedin the Courier-Journa- l about hair be-

ing turned gray by a sudden fright,and yesterday a well-know- n saloonkeeper in this city met a reporter andremarked:

"I know of another instance of hairbeing turned gray by fright, which iseven more remarkable than the onementioned in the paper. About fifteenyears ago a young man named HenryRichards, who lived in Terre Haute,Ind., was going home one eveningabout dark from a visit to a friend,and was walking along the railroadtrack. Some little distance from townwas a very high trestlework over acreek, there being no planks placedacross for walking, so that people hadto go over on ties. Richards was walk-ing along at a lively rate, and when hearrived at the bridge he did not stop tothink that a train coming in was thendue, but, being in a hurry to get home,he started to walk across on the cross-tie- s.

He had gotten nearly half-wa- y

across the bridge when the train cameslipping around a curve at a livelyrate! He saw the train at once, andstarted to run, but saw that it was use-

less, as it would certainly overtake himbefore he could get off the bridge. Hewas now in a terrible plight; to jumpoff was certain death, and if he re-

mained on the track the train wouldciush him to pieces. There was nowoodwork beneath the bridge for himto hang on to, so lie saw that his onlychance was to swing on to a small ironrod that passed under the cross-ties- . Notime was to be lest, as the train wasnearly on the end of the bridge. So heswung himself under the ties, and in afew moments was hanging on for dearlife. The engineer hud 3een him justbefore he swung under the bridge, andtried to. stop the train, but did moreharm than good, as he only succeededin checking tho speed of the train, andmade it a longer time in passing overthe form of Richards. As tho engine

Lpaesed4mrr, the coals of fire from theash-pa- n dropped on his hands, burningthe flesh from the bone, as he couldnot shake hem off, and to let go wouldhave beei certain death.

The trial was at length over, and,nearly dead from fright and exhaustion,with his hands burned in a terriblemanner, Richards swung himself uponthe bridge again and ran home. Whenhe reached there, his hair had notturned, but in a short time afterwardit began to get gray, and by morningwas almost perfectly white."

Robert Ayres, one of four men whovoted for Lincoln, in 1GG0, at Louisville,Ky., died there a fow days since, nged So

years. Ho was one of Louisville's formermerchants, and one of the moit activesupporters of Henry Clay In the bygonedays.
