We learn that Sweetwator and
Baird are about to offer a reward
for ono Warren Reed who was
going to wipe Abileno off tho
map. Perhaps he has started
back in this direction with sach
a large colony that it has hung
between two corners of the

They like tho poor are ever
with us.bufc the biff fellow seems
to get through tho world some
war Now that he has astonish-
ed the world by bearding the
Tammany tiger in his den and
putting the golden striped
fellows to rout the first round
some of the obscure would be
gold bug yelpers are calling him
too fresh. Well.
Coming For It.
The Stockman of J Colorado
says:
"The Stcckman band will
compete for the premium a the
Abilene fair and will bring it
home with them."
That's the way to talk it and
that's the winning spirit. In the
meantime Colorado wilt know
'she has been in a contest when
she wins if we mistake not.
The Wrong Man Tried.
The Topeka1 Journal says: "A
Spanish courtmartial has decid-
ed that Cevera was nofcxesponsi
blefor the destruction of the
fleet under his command at
Santiago last yea. They were
after the wrong man. Schley
is the guilty party."
Poor old Sampson would be
acquitted without the jury leav-
ing their seats. Bnt Sampson
is dead slain by theiwbone of
an ass.
Who Will Go!
Abflene's territory should be
represented at Bryan July 25th
TO 29th where the associations of
horticulturists dairymen cotton
growers etc. will be represent
ed. W. F. D. Batjer would make
fine representative from this
district as be would be a credita-
ble one and could also give us an
intelligent account of the pro-
ceedings upon his return-
There are also others who would
fill the bill to a t-y-ty if they
could be induced to go. Who
willgp?

The Dallas News says thai Mc-
Kinloy is his own Jonah and it
makes out a pretty good case.
Alger also throws out a defy to
the president by asking someone
to point out any sin of commis-

that he has altfays followed or-

Kinley is respousible for Alger
as well as himself.
Brutality.
The papers are very properly
and artistically roasting a Clar-
endon doctor who knocked his
horse down and diabolically beat
the poor beast to death. Eight
on this line there is much work
needed. There are men who
sometimes come to Abilene and
to every town we Tinow anything
about who would show mercy
comparatively by clubbing their
horses to death and putting them
out of a miserable life. We have
seen a pair of horses stand in
mud ankle deep in the worst fly
season and hottest weather 24
hours hitched to a buggy with-
out a mouthful of food or a drop
of water and if clubbing a horse
to death i3 more brutal we are
no judge of misery. There is
nothing that demands the at-
tention of the press more than
cruelty to animals and we wish
it would take up the question.
There are a hundred ways in
which horses especially are
abused most outrageously and
no brute ever served man so
faithfully.

The Life of General Nathan
ford Forrest.
Bed-
It is related of General Nathan
Bedford Forrest that on one
occasion a loquacious widow
asked him why his beard was
still black while his hair was
turning gray. General Forrest
answered that he conld give no
explanation unless that "he had
used bis brain a little more than
his jaw." It was this very
quality that made General For-
rest one of the greatest soldiers
of his time the soldier of whom
General Sherman said "After
all I think Forrest was the most
remarkable man our civil war
produced on either side. In the
first place he was uneducated
while Jackson and Sheridan and
other brilliant leaders were
soldiers by profession. He
seemed always to know what I
was doing or intended to do
while I am free to confess I
coum never toil or form any
satisfactory idea of what he was
trying to accomplish."
LordWolseley Commander of
the British Army wrote of him:
"Forrest had no Knowledge of
military science nor of military
history to teach him bow he
should act. He was entirely
ignorant- of what other general s
in previous wars had done under
simular circumstances. What
he lacked in book-lore was to a
large extent compensated for by
the soundness of bis judgement
upon all occasions and by his
power of thinking and reasoning
with great rapidity under fire.
Inspired with trua military in-
stinct he was verily nature's
soldier. In war' said Napoleon
men aro nothing; a'man is every-
thing!' It will bo difficult to find
a stronger corroboration of this
maxim than is to bo found in the
history of General Forrest's
operations." In tho firm belief
that General Forrest was-ono of
the great military geniuses of tho
century Dr John Wyeth has pre-
pared this biography which is
not only tho record of Forrest's
memorable and picturesque life
but also a comprehensive narra-
tive of his dashing raids in tho
most important campa'gos of tho
war.
