Killed by d Kick.
Colfax Commoner.


On Friday last, at Pat. Grady's place
near Almota, George W. Jones, an I'M
married man about thirty years of age,
met with an accident which terminated
in his death on Sunday. In passing
among the horses in the stable, Mr..
Jones noticed that one, a three-year old
colt, was inclined to kick at him, and
jumped behind post, as he supposed
out of danger. The kick was made how
ever, one hoof of the animal striking the
post and the other dealing the unfortu-
nate young man heavy blow in the left
side. All that could be, to alleviate his
suffering, was done, but inflammation set
in and it became impossible to save his
life. Preparations for the funeral were
made after the death, the body to be in
tered in the Almota cemetery, but at
almost the last moment telegram from
his parents at Waupun, Wis, was receiv-
ed asking that the remains be sent home.
The body was embalmed and shipped
as requested.

The Wheat Outlook.

In an interview with a representative
of the New York World on the outlook
for the -four trade, Mr.. Pillsbury, the
great Minneapolis miller, said:
ave are not going to have any bread
famine in this great and glorious coun-
try, although I think high grade -four
viii sell higher than it has yet sold on
this crop. Besides, there are more peo-
pie to be fed than ever before. | am
not influenced by either bulls or bears;
1 am influenced by facts and figures.
I was in Europe all last summer. Ger
many, France, England, Belgium and
Holland have short wheat crops. To
put the whole thing in a nutshell, the
importing countries are going to want
more wheat than usual, and the export
ing countries have less than usual to
give them, while Russia, the only coun-
try which had large crop this year, had
parted with the most of her surplus.
France will have to import fifty or sixty
million bushels more than heretofore.
On account of the higher prices French
farmers have marketed their wheat more
fully than usual and the shortage has
not yet become apparent. The present
shortage in the visible and invisible
stocks Of wheat in Minnesota and Da-
kota, as compared with year ago, is
equal to the whole of the present visible
supply"

The Gosnel of Progress.

Either run your town with a vim, or
just get up and leave it. Men who are
all the time wanting to get out of bust
ness, or to get out of town, will never
try to build it up. One of two things
should be done. Push things; find a
way or make way to put some "go"
into the business; run the town for all
there is in it; get up steam and keep it
up, or else quit the whole thing, vamose
the ranch, slide out and let nature have
her way. Do you want trade? Bid for
it. Do you want business men to come
to your town? Encourage those who do
come. Do you want a prosperous town,
where people can come disposed to make
it their home? Then do away with and
bury from sight all local differences, all
spite. If you want live paper, support
it ungrudgingly. Work no more for a
few individuals, but all work together
for a common prosperity and for a
mutual benefit. Wake up, rub your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to
work. Don't go to work with fear and
trembling, but take it for granted that
work will tell. Leave results to them
selves, borrow no trouble, but unite and
make the biggest kind of try.

That Special Tax Levy.

A special meeting of the county COM
missioners has been called for March
18th for the purpose of considering the
question of levying special tax to
build court house and jail at Colfax.
We understand that it is the intention
of the promoters of this scheme to have
tax levied without submitting the
question to vote of the people. There
appears to be a question OF law whether
a special tax can be levied for that pur-
pose without submitting the matter to a
vote, but it is said the schemers intend
to take the chances on the doubt.
The HERALD would like to ask why
these agitators do not want this ques-
ton voted upon? The vote could be
cast on the same day that the delegates
to the constitutional convention are
elected May 14), thus saving the ex-
pense of an extra election. If they fear
that majority would vote against the
tax levy and on account of that fear
propose to ignore the people and levy
the tax anyhow, then it is the scheme of
a reckless minority to endeavor to bind
an unwilling majority. Is that right ?
Is it fair?
Now, you gentlemen of the court
house scheme, if your cause is a good
one-if this is an entirely disinterested
movement on your part-don't be afraid
to submit it to the taxpayers, who must
foot the bills, Ask them if they want a
new courthouse and jail Just now.
And why this undue haste? Why not
wait until we are under state govern
ment?

A ScOundrellY Deed.

(Colfax Gazette.
Lima Van Schoick, whose parents live
on Spring fiat, a short distance from
town, is the victim of one of the basest
outrages ever perpetrated in Whitman
county. She is scarcely fourteen years
of age, and is a bright and apparently
innocent little girl of respectable parents
A few days ago she gave birth to a
child which died, and the recovery of
the child-mother is doubtful. The girl
names Al. Clevenger, a bachelor, as the
cause of her ruin. Clevenger owned the
ranch on which the Van Schoick family
resided and made his home with the
family. He skipped the country several
months ago. Taking into consideration
the girls age, the circumstances, and
the mans age. it is putting it mildly to
say that he deserves the extent of the
law and the contempt of the community.
