A Sensible View of the Matter.

Nine-tenths Of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves be-
ing allowed to run at large in society
pastures without any yoke on them.
They marry and have children before
they do mustaches; they are fathers of
twins before they have two pairs of
pants, and the little girls they wed are
old women before they are 20 years old.
Occasionally one of these gosling mar

case of luck. If there was a law against
young galoots sparkling and marrying
before they have cut all their teeth we
suppose the little cusses would evade it
in some way; but there ought to be a
sentiment against it. 1t is bad enough
for these bantams to think of finding a
pullet when they have raised money
enough to buy bundle of lath to build
a hen-house. But they see a girl who
looks cunning, and they are afraid there
are not going to be enough to go round,
and then they spark real spry, and be-
fore they have learned the sanctity Of
the marriage relation they are "hitched
for life," and before they own cook
stove or bedstead they have got to get
up in the night and hunt doctor, SO
frightened that they run themselves out
of breath and abuse the doctor because
he does not run, too. And when the
doctor gets there, there is not linen
enough in the house to properly wrap
up the baby.

The Town of Pullman.

Pullman, IS miles. south of Spokane
Falls, is the second town in Importance
in Whitman county; it is situated at
the junction of tbs Spokane & Palouse
branch of the N. P and the 0. r. & N.
railroads, and is situated in the
center of the "garden spot" of
the famous Palouse county, which has
no equal In the world as an agricultural
district. The peculiar location of Pull
man requires all railroads that wish to
tap this region to pass through it, which
in time will make it railroad center.
The town has grown in the past two
years from hamlet to a town of 700
population, and now has prosperous
and substantial growth. Over half a
million of dollars was paid last fall at
Pullman, to farmers of the neighborhood
for their products, which is as much as
is paid in most towns of 1000 people. AS
business point Pullman has no equal,
and an invitation is extended to every
one seeking a new location to come and
investigate our resources and our future.
The average yield of wheat in this vicin-
ity is 40 bushels per acre; of oats, from
70 to 80; of fax, 90; barley, IS, and
hay 81 tons. The climate is all that
could be desired.

How It Works in Iowa.

A dispatch from Dubuque, Iowa, to
the Portland Oregonian says: Referring
to his recent controversy with Benz. F.
Wright, of Charles City Ga J, father of
the prohibitory law, U. S. Revenue Col
lector Webster said to-day:
Had I desired I could have given
Mr.. Wright many more unpalatable facts
concerning the operation of the prohlbl-
tory liquor law in Iowa. I might have
stated that I issued 232 more liquor
dealers licenses this year than last, and
that the prohibitory law has increased
the sale of spirits in Iowa. This is
shown by the reports of sales made to
my Office by the wholesale dealers IN my
district. The number of wholesalers Is
slightly smaller than before the law went
into effect, but the actual sales are larg-
er and the quality of the liquor sold is
poorer. Not only have the sales of our
dealers increased, but since the decision
of the q. S. supreme court in the case
of Bowman Bros known as the 'origi-
nal package decision) the importations
of liquor by express in original packag-
es have been enormous. We stopped
this for time by arresting the whole
salers' license, as they had no authority
to do business at the point of delivery,
which, the packages being sent G. 0. d.,
was considered the point of sale; but
now customers send the money with
their orders and thus evade the law.
One cause of the increase is that where
saloons are closed the drinkers form
clubs and drink more than they other
wise would, while those who order the
stuff for their own consumption only are
tempted to drink by having the liquor
constantly beside them. This state OF
affairs applies equally as well to minors
as to grown people"

and of prosperous future. Mr.. Staley
and his go-ahead sons deserve their
prosperity. The HERALD acknowledges

Renfro, and by John and Len. Staley-
not forgetting, also, jolly Jerry Gro

the S. & P. division.

The May report of the Investigations
of the Department Of Agriculture rela-
tive to the possibility of increasing our
markets for agricultural products shows
that our markets are limited, and that
an increase in the surplus of wheat, oats
butter and cheese will reduce the price
of those articles both here and abroad
Barley, fax, hemp and fruit are largely
imported; it is therefore necessary that
the farmers of the Northwest should
turn their attention to raising the crops
for which they have market at home.
Washington will produce fax equal in
quantity and quality to any in the
world, and the manufacture of this sta
pie is made possible in every town by
machine recently introduced which re-
moves the fibre from the stock without
wetting. The assistant secretary of ag-
riculture thinks that this country is on
the verge of great revolution in the
production and manufacture of fax.

What VIII You Do About 1t?

Is the anti courthouse agitation mere
talk, or are the taxpayers really in earn
est? Do you want to be illegally taxed
do you wish to have your rights put
under foot? Do you want to be plung-
ed in debt by your agents without your
consent? Farmers, are you in favor of
being bulldozed by the Commissioners
into building a courthouse? If you
are, then keep silent, take no action, and
it will be accomplished.
If, however, you are opposed to this,
then put that opposition into form. Or
ganize your district, hold meetings, raise
funds, and all unite in stopping the out
rage. The law is on your side, but you
must ask for its protection. This will
cost money, but how much? Not more
than hundredth part of what the cost
Will be to you if you allow the scheme
to proceed. For every dollar you will
nave 10 pay IL Ch0 OouA U-hOu0O 40 '
one cent now will be sufficient for the
expense of asserting your rights.
The claim has been made that but a
few towns are opposed to the building
of the courthouse. Refute this false
hood in terms that cannot be misunder-
stood. Now is the time to act. Call
meetings in every precinct and join In
one grand effort to drive these specula-
tors and oath-violators into oblivion and
to secure for yourselves some decent re-
gard for your rights.
The HERALD believes the action of the
Commissioners and their abettors in this
court house matter to be the most out
rageous usurpation of popular rights
that was ever perpetrated. But, unless
the people-those who must pay for the
music-will assert themselves, 1t is use,
less to say more. Talk is cheap, and SC
long as the opposition is confined simp
ly to jawbone the building will progress
United action only can stop it. 1t lies
entirely with you, taxpayers.

Our NeighBOrs at Staley.

4 HERALD representative had a most
enjoyable visit at this thriving little
town, the other day. Lying in hand
some valley between green and cultivat-
ed hills, Staley presents, in its smooth
and level site, one of the best of loca-
IIOtrI roIAInE5 'InoS0.
ly this, but its community is commu-
nifty of brains and enterprise, and as a
consequence the place is growing finely.
The town-site proprietors are Daniel L.
Staley and his sons, John, Len. c., and
Fletcher. The family came originally
from Randolph county, North Carolina,
where they were well and prominently
known, and settled upon their present
location about the year 1869. From a
comparatively small beginning, the first
homestead has now increased to a mag
nifcent domain of over 5000 acres, one
quarter of which is under high cultiva-
ton, the balance being devoted to the
town-site, to orchards, to stock ranges,
etc. The Spokane & Palouse branch of
the N. P. r. R. passes through the prop
erty, along the edge of the valley, and
has built fine depot and large grain
elevator at a convenient point. Another
warehouse, 200 feet in length, is now be-
ing erected by the Staley brothers, near
the depot. G. W. Ford is putting up
substantial building designed for farm
machinery warehouse and real estate of
fee. J. P. Mulrony, recent arrival, is
erecting a residence and a blacksmith
shop, and Len. Staley is about finishing
a neat $500 home for himself The
Pioneer Hotel, recently completed, is. an
other prominent feature in the towns
growth, and is ably conducted by Mrs.
E. Bendura, landlady of experience.
1t may be well to state here that the
TOWNSHIP owners offer a town lot free to
any one who will build house upon it,
lot free for any business purpose, or as
many lots free as any one may wish to
build on. These and other liberal in
ducements have already brought capital
seeking investment to Staley, the latest
instance being proposition to erect a
Touring mill there this season.
Staley can also boast of possessing
one of the largest and best kept general
merchandise stores in the Palouse coun-
try. 1t is owned by the Staley Bros,
and conducted by Mr.. VIM. Renfro, a
gentleman widely known and highly es-
teemed for his fine business qualities,
strict integrity and genial disposition.
Few people can boast of as many warm
personal and business friends as Billy"
This store and its $4,000 stock is
perfect model of neatness and of taste
in selection and arrangement. About
every human want, we were going to
say, can be supplied over its counters.
A splendid fire and burglar proof steel
safe weighing 5000 lbs. and costing $500
adorns the counting-room, and is of the
latest and most approved pattern. The
postoffice is also located here, and will
soon be supplied with set of new box
es and other necessary paraphernalia.

PREsNELL, aged IL years.
Some years ago she gave her heart to
Jesus, and united with the Baptist Church
at BeieView. Iron county, Mo. Four years
ago she moved to this place and united with
the Baptist Church by letter. AS lady she
was generous, kind and hospital. AS a
Christian she was faithful to her profession.
Her religion was JOY to her through life,
and strong support through affections.
She died in the full triumphs of living
faith. She left a strong testimony to the
reality of her religion of Christ. As neigh
Dor she was liked by all who knew her. She
tried TO obey the commands of the Lord in
desire was always to do right. This was
noticed more in religion than in anything
else. she only wanted to do Just what God
would have her do. She leaves two children
with many relatives and friends to mourn
her loss. Almost her last prayer was per-
haps for her children. During her illness
her sufferings were severe, but she was ready
and willing to go at the Lords call. She
died without 4 struggle, and Il sweet peace
rested on her face. Relatives and sympa-
thizing friends followed her remains to the
cemetery at Belleriew, where she calmly
sleeps W i..e side OF three of her children
who have gone before. Funeral ser.ises

but explorations must be done by diamon
drills to prove the deposits in the above 10
calities.
Silver has been known to exist in Madison
and Iron counties for number OF years
Some developments have been made for TIL
ore with success. The ore is found in tru
assure quartz veins in granite. The Silve
Mountain mine has yielded three :housant
ounces of silver (Which was sold to thu
United States governmenD and seventy
! thousand pounds of lead. Some gold is be-
| ing found in this quartz VEN. Samples OF ore
taken from this mine have assayed three
| hundred ounces of silver to the ton, with
half ounce of gold per ton. This vein is from
| two to SIX feet wide. Is located in section
twelve, township thirty-three, range five
east, about twelve miles east of Ironton.
The outlook for this mine is very encourag-
ing at present, and it will undoubtedly be in
operation this spring. The southwest quar-
ter of the southwest quarter of section seven,
| township thirty three, range six east, is To-
Gated on an extension of the Silver Noun
tain vein, about one half mile east of the
main shafts of the above mine. This prop
erty is owned by nOn-residents who are
making preparations to develop it very ex-
tensively and will commence work by sink
ing deep shaft to the vein. \ company is
already organized to operate on the above
property.
An English and Canadian syndicate has
bonded and purchased vast tracts of miner
al lands in Washington, jefferson, and st.
Francois counties. This sale will include
nearly all of the town CT Potosi. This COM
pany will erect furnaces, ETC., at POtosi and
other points on their properties. The Off
GERS of this syndicate are all English and
practical mining experts, and have just re-
turned from England after an absence of
four months. Upon their arrival at Potosi
they gave an excellent supper to the citizens
of the town and vicinity for their kind treat
ment and services rendered while securing
the ten thousand acres of valuable mining
land in and around Potosi and Hopewell.
The syndicate has also secured large tracts
near Eineland and Silica.
Mining will be carried on on Il very high
scale, and the prospect looks very encour-
aging for Potosi, and there is not the least
doubt that this mining syndicate has secur-
ed valuable mining property, at a very
low price. / have been over some portion
