WRECK BANK VAULT AND CAPE WITH PLUNDER. ES South McAlester, I. T., Dec. 28.—A gang of five bank robbers looted the bank in Kiowa, a small town sixteen miles north of here, yesterday and escaped after sevrai hundred shots had been exchanged between the rob bers and a posse of fifty citizens of Kiowa. The robbers dynamited the safe and secured about $2800 in cash, some of which is believed to have been mutilated by the explosion. The bank building was partially wrecked, the damage to the building being about $1500. An entrance to the bank was gained by the use of crowbars through a rear window. While two of the men work ed on the safe three stayed outside as guards. The first explosion was a fail ure. making a loud report, but doing little damage. The citizens heard the noise, and. arming themselves with revolvers and shotguns, hurried to the bank. At the command of a leader a volley was fired at the robbers, who were visible through the shutters. The fire was returned by the guards secreted on the outside. While the two men on the inside outside worked, the three men on the I kpt up a steady fire with i the posse of citizens. It took three explosions to open the safe. After the last explosion the bur glars gathered up their tools, and leaving through the front of the bank got away in the dark. The posse fol lowed the gang for a distance, but lost the trail. While some of the citi zens believed one robber was injured not one of the citizens was struck The latter wore protected from the fire of the robbers by stock pens in the rear of the bank building A posse of United States marshals Is in pursuit, with little chance oi Immediate results, as the men had several hours’ start.

In which for a time there was much controversy and bitterness, the white-winged dove of peace settled down upon the called meeting of the Stite Division, Daughters of Confed eracy, and the compromise ticket was elected unanimously. Thus closes a contest which has been waged since the annual meeting at San Francisco last October, at which the controversy over the election of officers and the voting of proxies cre ated havoc. There are thirty-five votes In the division, but at the San Fran cisco meeting two of the presidents of local chapters were ill.

Mightier Men who fear nothiug else shrink from a Joke upon themselves. Soldiers who do not flinch before opposing guns dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to the national hero who makes one tri lling mistake which may subject him to clever caricature! Ills meritorious career is henceforth shadowed by one rolored illustration. A comic paper will tip the scales of Justice, snatch the vic tor's prize from ills extended palm and rob the orator of choicest laurels. A brilliant satire will mar the fortunes of the greatest statesman, a laugh will turn the tide of a political convention. Indeed the Joke is fast becoming mightier than the pen. The orator has learned its value, aud even the clergy man resorts to It when he desires to stir the flagging Interest of his flock. It furnishes sufficient excuse for the impertinence of children, and In Its name the daily papers deride the high est national dignitaries. What Is the meaning of its steady growth in power and what results may we prediet from its humorous tyranny? Is there a chance that our keeu relish for fun may finally produce a kind of humorous dyspepsia, resulting from overindulgence, unless with epicurean discrimination we demand quality, not quantity, and stubbornly refuse to swallow other than that which should appease a wholesome, nay cultivated ap[>etite in jokes?—Caroline Tick nor in Atlantic.

Obstacles which seem like mountains when we meet them dwindle away to molehills when we get away from them. Even what seems tragedy at the mo ment in the future may be the most Innocent comedy. Most of us are so constituted that we will make almost any sacrifice for pres ent peace. It would seem easier to have an arm or a leg amputated two years hence than to lose a finger today! It is human nature to shrink from pain, and we purchase release at almost any cost If we could only train the mind to look at today’s trouble and annoyance from the standpoint of the future, it would be much easier to bear.—Success. WRONGED HUSBAND TAKES LAW INTO OWN HAND. Portland, Or., Dec. 28.—After fail ing to induce tho district attorney to issue a warrant for the arrest of tho man whom he alleged had alienated his wife’s affections, David G. Van Houten, a farmer, went to the North ern Pacific saloon last night and, without warning, shot Albert Young, one of the proprietors, who died three hours later from the effects of the wound.

Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidnev troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Thedford’s Black-Draught never fails to bene fit diseased liver and weakened kid neys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of rever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright’s disease of the kidnevs. With kidnevs re- inforced by Thedford's black- Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel- low fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Thedford’s Black- Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor.

Throughout the region north of the cotton belt there is a three crop rota tion which may be regarded as a sys tem with innumerable variations. These crops are corn, small grain wheat, oats, barley, rye—and grass or legumes, and the period covered by the rotation in some of its variations is commonly four or five years and not Infrequently extends to eight or ten or more years, the length of the period depending mostly upon the ability of the grass or legume« to remain produc tive. Sooner or later most of the tilla ble land that is not bottom land or is not devoted to one crop, fruit or vege tables, passes through this rotation, but often with Interruptions or the ad mixture of other crops in the effort to adapt the products to markets, prices, soil, weather and the special or gen eral objects of farming. In some re gions whieh produce considerable to bacco, potatoes or beans a portion of the land that would otherwise be giiert to corn may be given to one of these crops in this general rotation.—G. K.
