B@~It is not very far into the future
when Democrats like Senator Vest will
be wondering why the people of Dakota
persist in sticking to that Republican

enough: because those Democrats

II will give you one case out Of
many in my own practice. A settler
who built comfortable house and re-
sided therein with his family. dug a
well two hundred and forty feet deep,
at cost OF over two hundred dollars,
and broke twenty acres of prairie land.
After o short residence his wife was
taken iii and removed to neighboring
town for medical care, whore She died.
Left with two infant children with no
one to care for them, the settler did not
return to his land. but continued to
cultivate it. The former commissioner
held this to be sufficient compliance
passed the proof for patent. Without
additional evidence, Sparks reconsid-
cred the case and rejected the proof"

starvation in Egypt.

from the lIfe-blood Of starving toilers,
N!ne.tenths Of the population OF Egypt
are, In the most liberal sense, suhSlsting
upon the bare necessities Of the vital pro
cess; little rice, little durrha corn,
baked into hard cakes, and washed down
with draught OF ditch.water. Professor
ExlInger, on his recent survey OF The
bald, was for miles followed by barefoot
boy, who every now and then approached
tho wagon and watched tho workings Of
the instrument with hRggard eyes,
Ascribing his persistence to an impulse
OF scientific curiosity the professor asked
his dragoman TO hand him telescope and
invite him 10 take q peep AZ the distant
mountains. "He's after something else,
guess" laughed the interpreter, and q
short conversation sutlced to confirm
that theory. "There Is some corn split In
your wagon" said the dragoman, "and
this youngStsr asks your permission to
eat handful Of It," The corn-hard,
dry, maize corn-was swiftly absorbed by
the youthful son OF the desert, who, with
tho same promphtudc, deyoured quart
Of dried fruit and q lot Of fluid butter, but
took to his heels like q deer when the
dragoman handed him q pa VI full OF
mustard pickles and yelled Gt him for
dropping them after the first bite.-Dr.

There Is no State in the Union Of which

our West Virginia Republican nominees
that each one Is able to cope intellectual
ly with any man in his district, and that
tho four are recognised as being among
the very foremost men in the State.
Such nominations merit the public re-

shall be elected, the Republican party in
West Virginia has no apologies to make
for it's nominees for Congress.

thousands Of hearers, composed Of all

The Newspaper Habit,

There il nothing stsrtlinRly new In
what Mr., Lsyey ssys. His remarks on
the banef.l ofec,a Of sensational journal
lam are very trite. There arc isw papers,
however, that indulge in total disregard

there are a few is 70 be regretted, for in a

they know that the prurient'minded will

This class Of papers does more harm
than can well be calculated. Often a copy
