THE VALUE OF .-Proba
bility, to have any value at all, must ex-
press fact. 1t is, therefore, thing to
be inferred upon evidence. Let US, then,
consider for a moment the formation of a
belief of probability. Suppose we have
a large bag of beans from which one has
been secretly taken at random and hid
den under thimble. We are now to
form probable judgment of the color OF
that bean, by drawing others singly from
the bag and looking at them, each one to
be thrown back, and the whole we'll
mixed up after each drawing. Suppose
the first drawing is white and the next
black. We conclude that there is not an
immense preponderance Of either color,
and that there is something like an even
chance that the bean under the thimb,e
is black. But this judgment may be
altered by the next few drawings. When
we have drawn ten times, if 4, s, or 9,
are white, we have more confidence that
the chance is even. When we have
drawn thousand times, if about half
have been white, we have great con-
fidence in this result. We now feel
pretty sure that, if we were to make a
large number of bets upon the color of
single beans drawn from the bag, we
could approximately insure ourselves in
the long run, by betting each time upon
the white, confidence which would be
entirely wanting if, instead of sampling
the bag by 1000 drawings, we had done
so by only two,--Prof. Psircs, 80 Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

Hang Together.

Frank W. Miller, New Hampshire
editor, IN his very able and sensible ad-
dress a, the recent assembly ol the New
Hampshire State Board of Agriculture,
says:
Farmers do not hang together as they
should; they are too jealous of one an
Others success. If one is getting good
thing in selling milk or in raising any
particular crop, they are too apt to strive
TO spoil the business by cutting under, or
by getting away customers. Who ever
heard of lawyer sneaking around to get
case away from brother OF the craft
And who ever knew rumseler to cut
doyn prices tn secure trader No, the
LAWYERS and the rumsellers hang together
the best Of any class know, and some
times am tempted to wish more OF them
could hang together. :.
preciate themselves. If they get little
money ahead and think to start a
bank, they will pay clerk for taking
care of the books ten times as much as
either one of them would dare ask for doing
the same number of hours work for the
clerk. When commenced business as
printer, | had been told that lawyers
and physicians must charge big fees Tor
their services, because it had cost them
so much to acquire their education. |
made up my mind that those men who
charged me big fees would havebig fees
CHARGED them in return. 1t has cost me
as much to be printer as it would have
cost to become lawyer. Farmers need
as good an education as a lawyer, and
better of the two, and they should value
such an education, and realize the dignity
which belongs with it."

IT cannot be too deeply impressed upor
the mind, that application is the price tc

it is as absurd to expect il without it al

MAKE THE HORSES WoRK.-Horses
were designed as beasts of burden, to re-
leve mankind from fatiguing drudgery.
1t does not hurt them to work hard, if
they are treated kindly. 1t is not the
hard drawing and ponderous loads that
wear out horses and make them poor,
balky and worthless; but it is the hard
driving, the worry by rough and inhuman
drivers, that uses up more horse flesh, fat
aud muscle, than all the labor team per-
forms.
Consider the ponderous loads that many
teams are required to cart every day, and
yet they appear to grow fatter and strong
er every year. They are treated kindly.
On the other hand, other horses, that do
not perform half the labor, soon grow
poor, and give out, and the next we hear
of them they die with the harness on.
Hard work does not kill them; but the
worrying, fretting and abuse did the
job.
Horses will DO all the moving and
reaping on large farm, thresh the grain,
pitch the hay, turn the grindstone, saw
the wood, and perform almost all the
heavy labor that farmers have been &C
customed to do, and grow fat, if they are
not worried and jerked and kicked about
as if they were living football.-N. Y.

mo PERSONALITIES IN THIS CAMPAIGN"

Judge G. G. Bennett, wife and children
left on Wednesday morning for their home
at Washington, Iowa. Before leaving the
family gave up their rented rooms, furni-
ture, dishes, etc.. occupied and used by
them since residing In this CITY, and will
probably not return to Yankton except for
an occasional visit.-HrdM.
Sufficient time having elapsed for the
foregoing falsehood to cool, We will state
the matter as it is. Judge Bennett has
gone 10 northern Dakota and the Black
Hills to deliver republican speeches and
Mrs. Bennett and her children have gone "a
Washington to visit a week or two Their
house, which is rented, and its contents,
which belong TO Judge Bennett, remsin as
they left them aud await their return. They
have yet a years lease on the house and
have no intention of quitting it. Mrs. Ben.
nett's mother, who resides &,
Washington, is ia feeble health
and is rapidly becoming blind.
She wrote her daughter to make haste
and com to Washington, go that she
might once more look upon her before her
eyes were forever darkened. 1t WAS in re-
spouse to this maternal appeal tina, Mrs
Bennett and her children went to Iowa
But as it is the earnest wish of the demo
cratic side Of this campaign that no per
sonalties be INDUCED in, we desist from
further explanation. Mrs, Bennett will re-
turn when her visi; is completed and will
continue to reside in Dakota.

! Mitchell! Creek.
DR.. n. c. Whitfield, of Rapid City, is the
man who found the twelve thousand dollars
in gold bullion hid in the grass at Mitchells
creek, between Pierre and Rapid. He was
a member Of 4 party which put out from
Rapid City in pursuit Of the stage robbers.
He took his find into Rapid City and deliv.
cred it over to its owners The story OF how
he did it is best told in the doctors OWE
words, which We reproduce from the Rapid
City jour al:
"In due time we arrived on Deadman's
creek, and here reliable reports led our Off
GERS to believe that our race was drawing to
a close, and that our reward was at hand.
cat this point a council of var was held
by the commander-in-chief and his staff. A
wagon was chartered and the Deadwood
party placed inside. Mr.. Cooke, Mr.. Steele
and DR.. Whitfield mounted, and all moved
off on the trail again. A cold rain struck
us and at about the same time a dim fire was
seen in the distance. The word was passed
around that the camp Of the robbers was
in sight. A hal, was ordered and our
captain and a Deadwood man moved off to
%recoLnoitre. After waiting some time thus,
orders came to move on, az it was only 4
freight train camp. When within two miles
Of Mitchell creek, it being very dark, moth
ing could be distinguished ten feet from the
road. As the cavalcade crossed a little sag,
a horse TO the left of US was heard to neigh.
Toe call was noted by our men, and after
driving on about one mile a halt was made.
We then moved upon the enemy.
After arriving at a given point the line
halted while a reconnaissance Of the camp
was made by our captain. who came back
and reported the b~orse>Huietly grazing near
the wagon, and the occupant, Of ga d vehi
Gle sleeping soundly. Our advance began,
the enemy were at once surrounded, by
taking the men all in a deep hole and
we'll protected by high weeds on all sides,
40 We could not be seen. A grand charge
was ordered all along the line, and the old
wagon was taken in, but the birds had flown
and the nest was cold. One old coat, some
bacon, -four, two belts with cartridges, q gun
case. pistol sca obard, one axe, some shelled
corn, a heavy double harness. and come 9TH
er articles we're found on the field. We then
went to the stage ranch On Mitchell creek
and had breakfast. There a consultation
was held and severnl Of the party ven home.
1.-TWO employees of the company and my
self started south to strike the trail again.
AS ordered. we went to Red Cloud agency,
and from there to Fort Pierre, and home
again. On Tuesday, at about 10 a. M, we
reached the point where the robbers had
abandoned their wagon, and although / was
called a fool, / stopped and searched the
vicinity Of their camp thoroughly, being
finally rewarded by finding the bullion !
brough 1t in, hidden in tall weeds and grass.
I reached here with it in safety, and have
little more to tell"
