BRUGGBMAN GAN REFUSE


Finance Committee yesterday have been
left out, and others have been added, and
/ want to look at them before l vote"
The claims were sent back to the COM
mittee, and soon after Clerk Boyd read
some of them again.
Were not these bills in the ones sent
back to the committee?" asked Freehold
err Kimmerly.
Eyes, sir; they were taken out by a
Freebooter"
Mr.. Kimmerly asked to have them sent
back, and it was done.
The County Superintendent was di-
rected to prepare plans TO construct a Gull
vert on the Paterson Plankroad n Dur
ham avenue and then the question o fthe
payment of $3.50. 81 for Christmas toys
candy, bought by Freebooter Pfngsten,
came up.
Freebooter German said he would like
to know what authority Mr.. Phngsten
had to buy the articles. and that gentle
man said he was duly authorized TO dose
by tue committee of The Board.
Freeholder Ellis asked that the bill be
referred to the Finance Committee, and
Freebooter Kimmerly said there was
double the quantity of goods needed
purchased.
Director Bruggemann said he, Kim
merly and German had distributed them.
and he only noticed an o%verplus OF a few
blocks for children which were sent to
the school. Mr.. Kimmerly denied this,
and said he saw toys enough to supply
100 more children than there were on the
Hill. The bill was paid.

oils was awarded to c.. II. Wolsey for

true Democrat would press any claim
for recognition if it should appear that
his candidacy was dangerous. On the
other hand, no man has a right to re-
fuse the nomination if the party calls
upon him to take it. We are very
sure Sheriff Davis is not the man to
oppose the popular will, which seems
clearly to point to him as the proper
Democratic nominee, and consequent
ly as the next Mayor of Jersey City.

PATHS High Notes.

A writer in the London World says
Of Nine. PATHS terms for singing in
concerts:-'I have all my life had a
weakness for ladies, and ladies have
always had the weakness to know
what is not their business, SO | am
going to betray a secret of the trade
to the lady readers of this paper in
order to let them get an insight into
affairs discussed by everybody, al
though everybody knows nothing
about what is really the matter.
From all sides / hear of the greediness
of Mime. Patti, the exhorbitant prices
she asks, and how she does not care
whether the people in whose concerts
she sings are ruined 10 long as she
receives her money. The fact is this:
Nine. Patti receives for every concert
i'm the Albert Hall G700-an enormous
amount, no doubt.
Now let us see as to the ruin of the
people who engage her. The expenses
of tie hall are about e100, other art
lists e200, advertising. etc, say ESQ;
the whole forms Ell, 100 to 81, 800 costs.
The receipts of this first years concert
were about 81, 700, of the second over
g1, 800, and the third will probably be
still larger-that is to say, $500, 5000
and e700 profit. l know that once in
a concert in which she sang the *
penses we're a little over 81, 200 and
the receipts So. 143, with G153 taken

ures, not opinions. / have known

THE revival services conducted by
Mr.. b. Fay Mills were opened last
night with an excellent promise of
success. Whether the direct effects of
such religious movements are per-
manent. is, TO say the least, an open
question. We do moi propose to dis
cuss it here. But we recognize
another advantage which accrues from
them. We say it with due rever-
ence, religion profits by advertising
just like any other mundane institu-
ton. and che publicity obtained
through movements like that led by
Mr.. Mills helps it to reach and to in
terest people who otherwise might
pass along their several paths of life
without due regard to it.
The power which journalism pos
sesses to help in this good work of
spreading the seed of truth is one
which all professors of the craft feel
an earnest pleasure in exercising. Our
heartiest good wishes r with MI.
Mills and bis co-workers, and our SER
vices are most heartily at their COM
mand in furtherance of their work.

A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE.

In thinking OF the future Of Kansas
and more especially of Osborne county,
as have pived here for several years, l
cannot help thinking Of the welfare Of the
people Of this county. The mortgage
companies and syndicates are getting
possession Of the land at an alarming
rate. In the last five terms Of our dis
trict court there were 20l foreclosures
besides those who had been bought of

The home-steader gives his deed and
thinks he has at last got little left for
his home; but when the note comes due
he finds that his note is worthless, and
this grand company has hishome that he

to enjoy in his old age, when his children
should visit their old home, And what

fairs continues, that in ten years or even
less that these beautiful plains that are
dotted with artificial groves on nearly
every quarter section, will be occupied
almost entirely by renters, living In run
down unsightly houses; and our towns
that few years ago hourshed and are
now on the decay, will be deserted ex'
cept by little general store or two, and
by time a saloon may be, TO furnish the
poor tenants the mere necessities Of life
for by that time a saloon will be neces.
sary to keep up courage. Now this is
not a pleasant picture to look at, and II
would seem TO me that everybody would
rather see a man with his family on every
quarter section Of his own, who would
improve and beautify TO suit his taste
, but in order that such thing can be
! they will have to stop legislating for
few against the masses. Now all we ask
is for people TO stop and think what We

On Saturday last q train load 509 head-of cattle, mostly steers of three years and up, was shipped from here to Kansas City, Duncan G Speed had 156 head in the ship ment, the Washington Cattle Com pany 125, Thomas Steele 100, J.L. Forester 59 and J. P. MeAllistcr and ". R. McComb 70. Messrs, Steele, Henry Fitch, Duncan, Speed Forester and McComb accompanied the shipment.
 On Sunday morning, Wm. Pat terson shipped a train of Y cars of young steers-53O head-to On tayio, California, consigned to Rich ard Gird. These were the cattle purchased from the Chiricahua Cat tie Company, and are to be matur- ed on MT. Gird's great Chino ranch. They were a fine lot of good graded youngsters, the majority of them being young yearlings.
 Sunday night, ", II. McKittrick and George Frisk shipped train -475 head-of good steers to En- poria, Kansas. Mir. Brisk had 150 odd head in the shipment, the larger portion of them being "mul- eys" (made so by dehorning), and they made a fine appearance. We believe, with George, that the"horns should go." 1Ir. McKittrick' s steers were threes and Up and were in good condition and of high grade. Messers. Brisk, Charley Graves (Mc Kittrick's foreman), and Tom Waters went through with the ship ment. The first named gentleman expects to remain at Emporia a month or more visiting relatives.

Malaria Attitudes,

While m alaria belongs chiefly to lowlying district, it may, under fla vorable conditions exist at great elevations. On the Tuscan Apen- nees it is found at a height of 100 feet above sea level on the Pyren- nees and Mexican Cordilleras, D. GOO, feet: on the Himalayas, 6,4OO feet; on the island of Ceylon, G. 59O feet and on the Andes, 1000 feet. Under ordinary circumstances however, a certain moderate alti- tude affords immunity from mala- ria. The elevation of entire securi- ty is not positively known, but it has been approximated a follows: In Italy, 400 to 800 feet; in Cali fornia, 1000; in the Appalachian chain of the United States 5000 feet; in India. 2,OO0 feet. In any of these regions malaria may drift up ravines to an indefnable height. Journal.

Asa Upton Killed by Constable J.
 ". Francis.

On Monday last Justice Weath- erford placed in the hands of Con- stable j. ". Francis a warrant charging Asa Upton with horse stealing. Officer Francis left on the afternoon train for Woods sheep camp, near Winslow, to arrest the horse thief but did not arrive in Winslow until late, so he put off going to the camp until early the next morning, and then started. On arriving at the camp a little after sun up, he saw Bargman, Snyder and Upton sitting around the fire cooking breakfast. Constable Fran cis then addressed Upton and said ::
 "I've got a warrant for you"
 "What's it for" Upton asked.
 "For horse stealing" replied Francis.
 Upton then got up, and again asked, ''what's it for" and Francis again replied flor horse stealing" In the mean time Upton had got within about five feet of the tent in side of which was his Winchester rifle. Francis then told him to stop, when he again asked what the warrant was for, and then stood still for an instant when he made desperate and determined spring for his gun; then Francis fired, the ball entering the left breast. Upton lived about forty-fve minutes after he was shot.

PAPERS in the southern part of the Territory are full of rumors of an effort, or combination, to de- feat the confirmation of Judges Sloan and Kibbey. So fur we have seen no charges against either of the gentlemen named. Why is it that this fight is being made on them? Is it because they afe not sufficiently pliant in the hands of the Tucson ring? Is it because they are too honest and conscientious to obey the behests of Cameron, Vol fey and Churchill? or is it because they have been guilty of gross neg lect of duty? Will some of our southern exchanges please enlight- cn us.
