TURNER THE TOILER.


Tully Scott, a formerly-of- Wa
keeney man, but now receiver OF
the government land Office at Ober-
lin, Kansas, is something Of a talker
himself. The Oberlin Opinion cred
its him with remarking, on his re-
cent return from Washington:
Mr.. Turner is a hard worker, faithful in
looking after the interests of his constitu-
ents, has an enormous correspondence
possesses the confidence of the members
of the important committee on public
lands, of which he is chairman. and is
recognized as authority upon that SUBJ
ject. am satisfied that whatever amend
ments are made to the law as it affects
the people of this district will be largely
at the dictation of Mr.. Turner.
Congressman Turner is undoubt-
edly an influential member Of the
public lands committee, but its
chairman is Holman, the great OBJ
jector. Tully should know, we
are pretty sure he does, that Speaker
Carlisle has thus far found enough
Democrats to fill the chairmanships
Of committees, even if he has had to
to pick the most of the important
ones from the late dark and bloody
ground.

Uouething from her success Her house
Was orderly and pleasant, and, Is she va
q good conversationalist, visit there was
. pleasure.
II there are books and papers in farm
house, they win be read. There are
rainy days and Sundays, as well as the
long winter evenings, when the members
OF the family sit around and long for
something interesting to do. The boys
soon learn to go of on horse, find some
OF the neighbors' boys, and then have
some fun, good deal Of which is not
conducive to the highest morality. The
girls get silly notions in their heads in
place of good, sensible ideas. If the pa
rents, the mother especially, insist on
having good literature for the family to
read, they will have the satisfaction of
knowing that many of the temptations to
wrong doing are removed. If the means
to provide good reading matter is hard to
obtain, set aside some product OF the farm
as library fund. 1t is profitable plan
to plant couple of acres of potatoes or
popcorn or some peanuts or something
more than is needed for the use OF the
family. Devote the proceeds of the sale
to the library fund. One family devotes
the increase of small part of the herd Of
cattle to it. There are many ways to
raise the money necessary to procure
books. The Home Literary Association
of Chicago sells certificates at seven dol
lars each, by which any book can be OBJ
tanned from there at the wholesale price.
The certificates are good for three years,
during which time moderate sum in
vested each year would procure choice
library. The cost of the certificate can
be saved in small list of books, as the
wholesale price is often less than half the
list price.
If the children are taught to be readers
by the custom of having literature that
they can comprehend, more good is done
than if they have very fair education
with no taste for reading, Too much fic-
ton forms distaste for more sold read
ing, but better read fiction than nothing.
There are many directions in which in
tellectual development could be carried
on in farmers homes, but reading is the
basis of it all.

The Verdict Unanimous,

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, tes-
testifes: II can recomend Electric Bitters
as the very best remedy. Every bottle
sold has given relief in every case. One
man took six bottles, and was cured Of
rheumatism of 1Oyears standing" Abra-
ham Hare, Druggist, Belleville, Ohio,
afirms: "The best selling medicine I
have ever handled in my 20 years expe-
rience is Electric Bitters." Thousands
of others have added their testimony, so
that the verdict is unanimous that Elec-
trio Bitters do cure all diseases of the
liver, kidneys or blood. Only a half dol

On Wednesday Geo. j. Shepard
sold his interest in the Trego Coun-
ty Republican to a man named c.
II. James, who comes here from the
East. Mr.. Shepard sold out on &C
count of Ill health. We infer that
by the next day he had recovered
his health. At any rate, he then
purchased the interest Of Jno r.
Barrett in that paper. Mr.. Barrett,
for some reason or other, seems to
prefer to work on a salary. We
hear that he has been engaged as
foreman Of the Tribune office.
We almost dislike to write con-
corning the sale Of the Tribune, for
the reason that just now we are
placed in the position of obituary
writer upon the remains of fellow
whose career of devilish SANDER in
Wa-Keeney was begun upon us
and persisted in until there were few
good citizens in this community who
had not been assailed by his poison
ed pen.
The purchasers of the paper, we
are told by one Of the four, are Geo
G. Ward, j. w. Bell, OH. HenkeI
and ]. B. Hogan. 1t is expected
that during the coming week a com
pany will be organized, and incor-
porated under the laws of the state
for the permanent carrying on OF
the business.
Mr.. Ward will be the editor OF
the Tribune. He intends to make
it strongly Democratic, but will
steer clear of personal SANDER. He
is by far the best qualified man
within the ranks Of the Trego coun-
ty Democracy for this position. He
uses good English, knows an
important public question when it
struts in front of him, and possesses
the faculty of writing forcibly and
pleasantly at the same time. We
really welcome Mr.. Ward into the
editorial ranks. His political posi-
tions will probably be assaulted by
the WORLD, but we can fight gem
tleman politically all day, and shake
hands with him in the evening.
1t should, perhaps, have been sta
ted earlier that Hotchkiss sold the
Tribune for one thousand dollars.
This is, as we remember it, several
hundred dollars less than he paid
for it in the fall of 1885. But he
was fortunate, under the circum-
stances, to be able to sell it for any,
thing. 1t had come to be loathed
because it was his offspring. Hotch-
kiss has gone the way Of the general
run of fellows whose evil nature is
so ponderous as to overshadow and
and murder the moral nature. This
is the final test by which a man
stands or falls in this world. Nor
will it do to say that communities
are unduly intolerant of such Great
nres as this Hotchkiss. With this
fellow, this community has been
tolerant in the extreme. However
the analysis of his character, though
long drawn out, has been perfect
Gallons of perception as Hotchkiss
is. he saw plainly standing out on
the wall the handwriting of his
doom among our people. He saw,
