below all coin-

There have be lively times at Slieridan, tlie terminus of our natural gas iine, for the last few days. The other evening a gang of pipemen came in and took the town. They loaded up with bad whisky and until yesterday were wholly unmanageable. They fought and quarreled around the streets of the little town in regular buccaneer style. The constable tried to stop oue fight but the gang encircled the combatants and would not let him interfere. When thev ran short of funds they entered the sa!oons and helped themselves telling the helpless bar keepers to "chalk it up on t'i.: ice." Saturday one of the telephone linemen came in and getting drunk also walked up to the party and called out in a loud voice that he could whip any pipeman in town. Maybe he could have done so but he was not smart when he said so in a crowd. The gang picked him up. dropped him across the first mud hole in the street and every mother's son used him as a foot bridge to cross it.

Sheridan is a real exciting little town and worthy a name in the world's his torv.

How to Prepare and Address Package Sent by Mail, The season is approaching when the mails will be filled with holiday presents, and a great many are unnecessarily lost, dolayed or damaged each year because of the indifferent manner in which they are prepared for mailing.

Newspaper or other thin paper should never be used for wrapping, and packages as ordinarily wrapped where purchased are not sufficiently secure for forwarding in the mails.

Use strong paper: make a soild package that will not crush easily tie well with good twine: address legibly and correctly with ink on tlie lower righthand corner and very few packages will fail to reach destination ni good condi-

It is always advisable to place the name and address of the sender on the upper left hand corner of all packages, etc., sent in the mails, so they may be returned in case the addresses cannot be found. Postal statistics show that more delays result from incorrect ad-

Iresses than from errors in distribution by postal employes. In case of loss or delay report the same to your postmaster with all of the nformation that can be given.

According to St, John-

John P. St. John, ex-ruler of the blighted plains of Kansas, was at the court house last night to speak on pro hibition. The court room was about tWo-tliirds full and so was a portion of tho audience, as several loafers came up out of the wind to get warm and thus swelled tho crowd which tendered Mr. St John the "ovation" he received. Mr. •St John has the weary, blase" look incident to a lost cause. In liis speech, which was quite interesting, but bristling with fallacies, he set forth tho claims of the Prohibition party. After listening to the speech tho average hearer camo to tlie conclusion that the claims were about as likely to lie recognized as the claims of the Anneka Jans heirs. Occasionally during tho oration there were "burets of applause" which were very suggestive of those bursts which greeted the mother of The Bov

Tramp at her late appearance on tho boards of Music Hall. Air. St Join, haB gone now, but his cause still lives and will live to its dying day in spitt* of its enemies.

The through north bound freight on the Motion killed two horses at Raub a Station tliiB morning. The two horsof. with the wagon tongue were torn nwny from tho wagon, in which the driver was left on the wagon-seat, the only injury he received being a sprained wrist.

The Same Old Story.

The gas line will be completed this week, but some oth?r work with which the public is uot familiar with still remains to be done. It will take about three days to blow the air out of the pipes and about three days more to get the machinery in running order, so if we have good luck we may hopo to have the gas by the latter part of next week. It looks that way at present, any how. The company may hold out in order to turn it on upon Christmas day, however.

Kerr is Released.

This afternoon Millard F. Kerr brought up before Judge Harney released upon his own recognizance. He

was and

has been imprisoned for several months in the jail on a charge of forgery which could uot be proved ou him and of which he was probably not guilty, at any rate, not morally guilty. He was cleared on one count and, of course, the count which stands against him will never be brought to trial, so long as he behaves himself. The action of the prosecutor meets with universal approbation.

A Peculiar Coincidence,'

Humphrey & Reeves seem to be making a specialty of obtaining divorces for the sisters of executed murderers. Last summer they brought vp the pretty sister of the late lamented Buck Stout and got her a divorce in a jiffy. She got married again just about as quickly and will always hold a warm place in her heart for the attorneys. The other day the same firm obtained a divorce for Mrs. Mattie Stevenson, the sister of •T. W. C. Coffey, of precious memory. If Jack Henning has a married sister living in these parts she should lose no time in calling on the boys. Their divorce knife ,is as keen as the sickle of the Reaper whose name is Death.

Se Hails Prom Alamo.

John P. St. John had been in Montgomery county before last night. A number of years ago he was a haughty school teacher at Alamo. He engaged to wield the gad and slap jaws for a term of six months, but after he had taught a month and a half he came up missing ono fine morning. When the scholars arrived there was no fire in the stove and the water was frozen in the sponge bucket. John P. St. John had folded his license like an Arab and silently flown his kite. No reason was ever assigned as a strict investigation showed that his 1 oard bill was settled up to date. Why ho left no man knowetli, but its mighty certain that "he never came back anv more."
