Editors IntellIgencer.
Leaving Wheeling on the morning train
of last Monday arrived at Littleton
about noon, and travelled thence over the
hills of Wetzel to this place on horse
back. Here is small village of neat
white houses, situated in an opening at
the bases of three hills. The inhabitants
are kind, hospitable and by no means in
ferior in intelligence, to other people hay
ing like means of obtaining knowledge.
They have a very nice school house in
which a good school of taught months
a year by Mr.. Stephen w. Martin, a well
qualified instructor. In addition to the
large store of Pyles & Jollof. in this town,
L may report two others, and also saw
mill and grist mill in this vicinity.
The Teachers Institute, now in session
here, consists of forty-six teachers pretty
well qualified for teaching. They mani
fest deep interest in whatsoever tends to
make them wiser and better instructors.
The Institutes indeed very interesting and
doing a good work.
There are no signs of the so-called cred

at some articles emanating from the press
to their discredit. JAS. F. SNowDEN.

A Cure fOr Wounds.

Here is something from an exchange
for the bare-footed boy: Every little
while we hear of some one who has
stuck II rusty nail in his foot, or knee,
or hand, or some other portion of the
body, and that lockjaw resulted there
from, of which the patient died. Ii
every person was aware of perfect
remedy for all such wounds, and would
apply IL, then all such reports must
cease. But, although we can give the
remedy, we cannot enforce its applica-
ton. Some will not employ it because
they think it too simple; others will
have no faith in it when they read it;
while others think such wounds of small
account, and not worth fussing over, I'M
til il is too late to do any good. The
remedy is simple, almost always ON
hand, and can be applied by any one,
and, what is better, it is infallible. 1t
Is simply to smoke the wound that is in
famed with burning wool or WOODEN
cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke
of wool will take the pain out of the
worst wound; repeated two or three
times it will allay the worst case Of in
Elimination arising from wound.
People may sneer at "the old mans
remedy" rs much rs they please, but
when they are afflicted, just let them
try it. 1t has saved many lives and
much pain, and is worthy of being
printed in letters of gold and put it
every house.

A Remarkable Garment.

day or two ago motherly-looking
woman of forty.five entered a Wood
ward avenue clothing store, having a
mans linen buster ON her arm, and
when approached by salesman, she
said:
Some one in here sold this buster to
my son Yesterday"
" Yes, ma'am, | sold it myself" re-
piled the clerk, MS he looked at the gar
ment.
Did you tell my son Tia at this dus
ter could be worn either at Il picnic
funeral, bridal party or quarterly meet
ing2'
= did, madam, and so it can"
odd you tell him it made Il good fly
blanket when not otherwise needed?'
81 did"
"T.lat it could be used as boat sail,
stfetcher, straw bed and u bed
spread?"
" Yes, ma'am, did"
And that many people use them as
table covers ?"
90 did"
"And that they would last for years
and then make excellent stuff for rag
carpet?"
~ did"
"And you only charged dollar Y
"Only a dollar, madam"
Well, when John came home last
night I'd brought the buster and told
me all you said. l made up my mind
that he must have been drunk, and |
was little afraid he stole the garment.
| am glad il is all right"
" It is certainly all right, madam. and
since he was here yesterday we have
discovered that the buster is great
conductor of sound, preventive Of
sunstroke, and that no man with one
on his back ever dropped dead Of heart
disease"
Land save US" she gasped, as she
waited for the bundle, "but who knows
that they won't fix 'em SO fore long
that they'll raise u mortgage off the
farm."

The Nebraska Outlaws.
Sioux city journal.

There has been lively contest at
Omaha for the possession of the Neb
raska outlaws, Nolan and Johnson, who
were recently captured in Dakota by
Detectiye Llewellyn, an account Of
which appeared in these columns a
few days since. The HeroM says that
Black Jack" which is Nolan's ne
name, is wanted at Sibley for the muir
der of u Spaniard in January last; the
authorities of Laramie county want
both the men for stealing; in Dawson
county Nolan is wanted fer breaking
jail, and both for grand larceny; 4
county in Colorado would like the pos
session Of both for larceny, and the
United States authorities now hold both
for stealing Indian ponies in Dakota
and for robbng Bone Creek, Nebraska,
postoflice. The United States district
attorney refuses to surrender the nu-
merously wanted desperadoes to other
authorities, but will hold them to answer
the charges that Uncle Sam prefers,
and for which Llewellyn arrested them.
The young horse-thief now confined
III our county jail, known rs "rhe
Kid" and whose trial comes off at the
session of the district court commenc-
ing here this week, belonged to the
same gang with Nolan and Johnson,
and ii is understood that several Neb-
raska officials would be delighted to
welcome him with eager hands to u
hospitable cell.
The Herald says that Nolan's des-
perate escape from the Plum Creek
Jail is fresh in the public mind, and
johnson is also u jail-breaker, having
escaped from the st. Helena, Cedar
county, Jail, where he was confined last
winter after being caught in crust,
ler's camp on the Keyapaha. Nolan
has been in jail in Omaha, as the rec.
ords SHOW, although he denies it. The
prisoners are separated, Nolan being
kept in cell on the east side Of the Jail,
and Johnson locked up in cell across
the corridor.

of cod. This is the most difficult of all,
for the eggs have to float upon the sur.
face until the Matching is completed.
Something over 5000 900 were success
fully propagated last year. The fisher
men were very skeptical at first, and
scoffed at the idea of men coming from
Washington to teach them, who had
been in the business all their lives and
knew all about it. And they were very
much pleased when the scientific men,
battling against many odds, made a
failure OF the frs attempt. Success,
however, attended second effort, and
the fishermen were called in to see the
result. Even then they could hardly
belieYe it, and said that what was shown
them was only lot of pollywogs which
the commission had procured some
where to fool them. They were, indeed,
like pollywogs at first, but they -four
ished and soon took upon themselves
the appearance Of cod. The harbor is
now full of the little three-inch.lo
cod, and last summer the fishermen
were delighted to take visitors down to
the dock and point ont the little wig
glers. The commissioners hope that
these young cod, when they take to the
sea, will, like salmon and shad, return
to the place Of their propagation to
spawn, and the result of the expert
ment il awaited with much interest.

Ii Never Comes.

We never have tomorrow; it is
simply word of prophecies. 1t has
been said that two great pleasures Of
living are i'll having something to love
and to hope for, and the last of these is
ever before us in the promise of to-mor-
row. Tomorrow we may not know,
and 1t is we'll that it is thus ordained
to be Tor beyond the invisible
veil that coneeals alike its coming
joys and sorrows, our fancy may revel
only in what is beautiful and fair, nor
see the gloom or shadow of coming
trials and worldly ati ctions, that, could
we anticipate rs fixed realities that
were certain to come, would mar all
our peace and enjoyment Of the pres
ent. II is well for us that we cannot
withdraw the veil which hides our FL
ture.

The water should be changed

place the pan on the top az piazza or

WHAT WE ARE DOING.

American Manufacturer and Iron World.
Probably never in the history of the
world have mechanical invention and
scientific discovery been brought to
bear so universally and effectually to
cheaper and improve the products of
industry as in the past ten years. Es-
pecially has this been the case in this
country, until, with our manifold labor
saving appliances, we have been ena-
bled to place our wares in all the lead
ing markets of the world, competing
favorably with the poorly-paid and
cheap hand-labor of the older countries.
The iron and steel industries are won
derful examples of the progress made,
every step, from taking the ores from
the mine to the finished product in tool
or machine, being chcapcned by labor
saving inventions while science comes
in to utilize what was formerly con-
sidercd worthless and magnify results
in increased values.
Blast furnaces now turn out double
the product of former years without
increasing the size, and from many
parts of the country we have been
told that iron was made at from 81 to
Sl4 per ton. Considering these facts,
and the facilities now known of util-
izing our abundant lean and cold short
ores, many of our conservative and
solid manufactures look with alarm
upon the persistent efforts of some of
our dealers to talk up" prices and
urge yet greater advance. If pig
iron can be made for sl4 per ton, or
even at sI5, it is thought that it would

WHO PAYS THE COSTS!

Atevery term of Court speculation is
indulged in as to "who pays the COST in

l. If the grand jury return bill zig
noramus" in case other than felony,
and order the prosecutor to pay the

is not liable to costs.
=. Nor is the county liable if a bill
be found "a true bill," and the defend
ant having been tried and acquitted,
and ordered by the petit jury to pay
them, and is committed and discharged

the defendant shall pay the cost of
prosecution, as they are required to d.
by the act Of 9Th Of December, 1904,
the costs are not to be paid by the
county.
3. Where an indictment has been re-
turned "a true BILL" the prosecuting
