Total 1890. 81 65 Total ......S2 60
The total retail price of all the Barnes
& Co.'s New National readers shipped in
TO Emporia and sold to the pupils to date
amounts to S213.70; OF this amount We
have voluntarily donated S29.36 leaving
net amount sold, S1S4.35 to the pupils.
Two fiftbs of the above amount has
been paid for in old books amounting TO
$73.77, leaving 9110 5s, amount Of actual
cash paid for new readers.
A careful estimate for the amount yet to
be supplied to the pupils TO complete
the change will not exceed, old books
and cash, SIS, at retail prices. Permit
me to state further that our proposition
was offered on perfectly fair and BUSH
nes principles and accepted by the board
in the same manner. We have done
nothing we are ashamed of and fr5m
what we hear think the board feels the
came way. And we make the following
additional offer: ANY parent who feels
that the change Is hardship
feels that the new books are not worth
the difference asked between the new
books and the old books, such parents
can have free of charge readers for each
child, by simply asking for them. The
articles referred to herein, Contatned so
many errors and are 30 widely of from
the facts in the case, any observant
reader can readily detect them.
Respectfully, I. D. Fox.
In,reply to his first statement we simply
say that no matter what his contract called
for, the facts in the case are that new
readers have been ordered all around with
out waiting for promotions, and that very
few parents in our city have so little pride
as to take advantage of his offer of free
books on their declaration of being too
poor to buy them.
His price list is incorrect for Appleton's
readers We give below the correct list
as taken from the Appleton printed price
list, issued for the use of the board, which
We have in our possession and can show to
Mr.. Fox, or any other person who wishes
to see it:

Mr.. M. III. Jewell, editor Of the Bis
marck Tribune, was at the Merchants
last evening. Mr.. Jewell came down as
FAR as Minneapolis with Gov. Pierce OF
Dakota, and is supposed to be well
posted In the future plans Of the gov.
ernor. To a Pioneer Press reporter he
said
"Gov. Pierce will deliver his message
to the legislature and turn his office
over to his successor on the first or Sec
ond day Of the session. What he will
do then is only surmised, but ! under
stand he intends to remain in Bismarck
until after the legislature adjourns."
Referring to the coming session Of the
legislature this winter, Mr.. jewell said
81 do not believe that the law prohi.
biting special legislation is going to
make very much difference in the bust
ness Of the session. Those people who
want special legislation will work hard
to secure the passage Of general laws to
cover the particular points. The usual
crowd will be in attendance. The PEG
pie of South Dakota are so much divid-
ed that / don't believe they will make
any attempt to remove the capital, even
if they were assured Of Gov. Church's
approval. They are all more or less in.
terested in other matters, and Il number
of the most prominent members are
outspoken against sectional fights of
any kind. 1t il believed some whole
some laws will be enacted this winter
that will give relief to the farmer with
out doing injustice to the railroads. An
attempt will be made to repeal the gross
earnings law, but it will be difficult TO
improve it. The present system brings
a revenue to the territory Of over $780,
600 a year, and increases as the mileage
extends. There is no trouble in collect
ing the tax under the present system,
and each county receives its share in
proportion to the miles trackage. / be.
lieve, when generally unperstood, the
people will favor the present system of
railroad taxation.-St. Paul Pioneer

Baxter's Mantle Captured by Moonlight

The Rowdy West thus describes the
manner by which the end was reached
"a few days age the President ap.
pointed George w. Baxter governor o
this territory, and he qualified as such
A day or two since the wires surprised
the country with the announcement,
that the President had summarilv re
moved Governor Baxter and appointed
a gentleman named Thomas Moonlight
of Leavenworth, Kansas.
The trouble seems to have been a.
follows: Gov. Batter is a good Officer
and citizen, but he is a stock man wht
had fenced the public domain" Tn,
Cheyenne POLITICIANS wanted NJ. +. Pos
appointed instead of Baxter in the frs
place, so to get revenge and remove tn,
latter they 'peached" on him and mad,
use OF the fence racket" But Grove
Cleveland seems to have an idea that h,
is president Of the United States Of Anne
rica, including Cheyenne, and 20 setll
the imbroglio he at once appointed
nonresident. The case is n peculia
one and the story too long to be told il
this issue.
"Gov. Thomas Moonlight is some fit,
years old was Lieut.. Col. of regimen
of which Senator Plumb, of Kansas, wa
colonel; was subsequently sent Yves
with his command stationed at For

The San Francisco Chronicle, in a
recent article appearing in that paper
expresses the opinion, based upon what
IL claimed to be reliable information
that the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad company will extend their line
west from Douglas to Boise City, Idaho
and that negotiations that have for some
time been pending between that com
pany and the Oregon Pacific have re.
suited in an agreement between the two
companies to meet at that point and
consolidate, thus perfecting An add
tional transcontincntal line and it il
presumed that when the entire line il
completed from Yaquina, Oregon, to the
Missouri, ii will receive the name ofthe
Oregon Pacific, rs a transcontinental
line without the word Pacific aft xed
would seem strange and unreal.

distance east of town. 1t seems that
Mr.. Drake is guilty of m~ortgaging the

found he will probably be dealt with

Mines in the Market.

PROFESSIONALLY there is more inter.
est in mining throughout the country
now than has been the case before for
many years. Reports from all the
principal eastern cities indicate q re-
newal of this interest, and the dawn OF
a new and better favor for mining men,
and for mining as an industry. So long
as there is no market for mines, no
capital seeking investment in this direc-
ton. the work of mining and of opening
UP mining districts must necessarily be
crippled.
All the world knows that it takes
money to work the mines, and all the
world also knows hat the men who
prepare the way for mining-those
who find the mines, are not the men
who develop the mines. This is not
their business. They have neither in
clination nor the means. The proprietor
is not a miner as a rule. He seeks out
the precious mineral and leaves
others to delve for it. If he can
not sell his mines he has comparatively
little incentive to look for mines. Often
he has not the means to enable him to
do it. 1t is the capitalist who must fur
nish these means, who must supply the
motive power TO keep the prospector
moving.
When the mines are in disfayor with
men OF money, the door Of capital is
closed against them, and the industry is
crippled in all it branches. There is no
money to buy mines, and but little
to develop or treat them. Hence, the
new feeling so favorable to the mines
will have excellent effect all along the
Iine.-rDenver Journal Of Commerce.

A peculiarly sad and distressing case
Of mental alteration has arisen in the
city within the past two days. The
victim, a stranger, is a physician OF
splendid professional attainments, q
polished refined gentleman Of the high.
est intellectually. About a year ago he
was severely kicked on the spine by a
horse, which has caused him a great
deal OF pain since. Lately his suffering
became worse and gradually began to
attack his seat of reason. The pro.
f%essional knowledge of the gentleman
caused him to become aware Of the
danger threatening him, and yesterday
fully realizing his true condition he ap.
piled TO DR.. Dickinson, of the board OF
lunacy, for an examination in order that
he might be sent to the asylum for treat.
ment before his malady assumed a more
serious phaze. His insanity has assum-
ed the form ~ofoccasional fits of Lespond-
ency, during which he is possessed of
an inordinate desire TO commit suicide
because of the fancied belief that he is
summed and avoided by everybody.
He asked to be confined or 10 have some
person appointed to watch him, being
afraid that he will yield to the impulse
to take his own life. The board will
meet this morning at ten o'clock at
which time the unfortunate gentleman
will appear. An officer was yesterday
ordered to stay with him until bis case
shall have been disposed of. The
gentleman has a family in the east, his
wife, an estimable lady, is in poor health
and it is feared, that should she hear of
the misfortune which has befallen her
husband that the shock it would cause
might prove fatal to her. This, if possi-
bic, makes the case all the more pitia.
