Queer Things out West.

One Of the first queer things Is that
"the West" is very hard place to find.
In Indiana people are selling out and
'golng West" In Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin it is the same. One hears the
cattle men complain that they can not
complete with 0tte West" in the produc-
ton of cheap beef. You never reach the
place where the people admit they live
"out West If one is from Ohio he is
called an eastern man." In Central
and Western Kansas, Nebraska and in
Dakota, the queer thing is the entire
lack Of fences and bridges or any need Of
them. The new settlers build their
cheap houses, break virgin prairie ready
cleared of stumps and stones, and begin
grain-raislng. Herd-laws or herd-law
sentiment makes it unnecessary for the
grain-raiser to fence his grain. The rule
to fence the stock and not the grain. It
is the cattle that do the damage, therefore
they should be fenced. This is the SEN
sible view to take, at least IN a new
country. And so for miles and miles the
grain fields are 'out doors,' as child
expressed it. And this lack of fences
gives an Eastern man first feeling Of
immensely and then of LONELINESS.
In Colorado one queer thing is the dry
ness OF the atmosphere. True, twas I'M
usually dry this summer when l visited
it, but it is always a dry atmosphere

my time and attention, and I may truly
say that my selection to fill this position
was an entire surprise. Had I consulted
my own interests, I should have per-
emptorily declined to serve, but, as I
am in the hands of my friends, I see no
other course than to submit" And he

"Your sister has not discharged me, Cap

she said with sudden resolution
And then, standing before him, she told
him all the story. His face, as he listened,
grew deathly white.
When the last word had left her lips, he
turned and strobe toward the house, leaving
her standing motionless and alone. His
sister met him in the doorway.
" Who is ate'" he questioned in harsh
tones" this girl whom you have called

He laughed, a jarring laugh.
"Miss Maxwell, the heiress, eh?-the
girl whom all men seek for her beauty and
her gold. Tell her, for me, it was Miss
Houghton that asked to become my wife,
and not Miss Maxwell, who has made of my
honest love her sport"
And he strobe out of the house again, and
up the road, all unconscious of the little
white figure following him.
He had thrown himself down, under the
shadow of great oak, when she overlook
him.

And, at the sound of her voice, he raised

You appear to Lave lost sight of the

Very Respectfully Yours
THos Il. HEENAN,
In reply to the fore going we would say,
that as to the first paragraph it is such an
overdrawn, imaginary and irresognizable
contortion of our expressions as to be val
liable only as curiosity III this respect.
Next we are said to have lost sight of the
fact that every elective office belongs to
the people We need only say in reply
to this that the very fact of the writing and
publication Of the editorial controverts
that assertion. Our remarks were add
dressed, not to an individual, but to the
general public In the next place we
might ask, does Dr.. Heenan desire to go
on record as asserting that experience is
not valuable pre- requisite in business
affairss Does not the language of the
communication lead us to believe that his
ideas are wholly at variance with the es-
tablished rules and principles governing
The policy adopted by successful business
men. Would he in his private affairs give
ineXperience OF experience the preference?
There can be but one answer, and yet how
is it possible TO reverse the order of things,
are not public business affairs governed by
the same rules which apply in private con
Germs? By what method of inferential de-
duction does our correspondent find basis
for the assertion of statement i'll our
paper TO the effect that there was not a man
in the democratic or Independent party
competent TO fill the Office of auditor
The language used will admit of no such
expressed, be distorted INTO any such
Statement" One more word before we
close our remarks: The question OF a
resident auditor is Il very important one to
those living at distance. Residents of
the county outside the village will consider
this phase of the question, they are inter,
ested in having the Office as it always has
been, open for The transaction of business
al all hours of the day. Another question
they will also consider is, that of finding
the auditor himself always present and not
represented by IL deputy.

have a sharp contest, the district is dem

being also deserved;y popular, but he is

We do not know anything regarding his
