Tho people of no race have such per

regard to human life As the Chinese.
They arc not only capable Of commit
ing suicide TO spite An enemy, bat they
neglect the simplest precautions for
preserving themselves from death.
Hundreds Of families o{ten live in

lamentaton among tho survivors; the

built, and other happy go-lucty crea-
lures occupy then, knowing well that
the anne fate awaits them also.
Not only do these p~hilosophic be-
ings neglect tho simplest means Of 10
curing their own safety, but they vir-
tually refuse 10 aid others in time Of

A peculiar accident occurred at Rapid
City. la, A one horse wagon, heavily
ladon with meat, while crossing RaAid
creek, got stuck" and TIE horse, in
his efforts TO get out Of the troubls,
swung around and went over the side
Of the bridge, which is thirty fsst
high. Tho wagon was heavy enough
to keep its place and the harness af-
hciently strong to bear the weight OF
the horse, SO that the animal hung
head downward over the creek. All eff
forts TO pull him back onto the bridge
proving unsuccessful, the traces WERE
cut, dropping the poor beast head frst
into the water. He was then gottsn
ashore without much trouble, but not
in a very presentsble condition, q he
had struck bottom and wa covered
with mud.-Chicaro Herald.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
After reading the papers you have
SO generously sent me, have given
them out though the neighborhood,
and think you will get several sub
scribers through their influence
You may count me as a subscriber
from the first number. / have often
said that the Western Rural was the
best paper on this continent. But l
now see in the GREAT WEST her
equal if not her superior. In telling
plain truth that the farmer ought to
know, embellished with good SUBJ
stantial adjectives, the GREAT WEST
stands at the head. That is right
Dr., the farmers must have solid
language before they will catch on. ,
Yes, Mr.. Editor, "the country was
ready for the awakening, and ex-
pectantly reached OUT for some

The annual meeting of the Hail

held at Huron, on Jan. 9Th. The re-
port showed a remarkable strength
and development.
During the past year it insured
458 ,3O1 acres OF land, at an expense
of 20 cents an acre: This was 25c.
an acre cheaper than any other COM
pany in Dakota-and every loss has
been settled. The officers are:
A. Wardall, President.
DIS. Dodds, V. President.
S. D. Cooley, Secy. and Treas.
This is the close of the third year.
The balance sheet shows business
of$S7, 525, and losses to the amount
OF $40, 543. The company stands as
one of the most substantial business
concerns of South Oak.
After the Hail Co. meeting the Aid

CHILDHOOD DAYS.

BY LITTLE GIRL Is YEARS OLD.
Oh, the hours that in childhood squandered
On the hills and valleys played.
Ger meadows and prairies wandered
Nor when the bell rings I delayed.
MY heart was as light as a feather,
Not care nor q sorrow knew
As 1 sat in the bright summer weather.
And watched the gay birds as they flew.
But child again never Ill be,
With the trees and the birds and the flowers
For I'm old and weak as you see
And my strength has fled with the hours.
And soon I'll cross the dark river
Where the good are repaid for their ways
But never again will be here on earth
As happy as in childhood days.

Editorial Opinion,

We hear great dsal about "public opinion
Did you ever stop to think that in nine instances
out OF ten, it is only the opinion OF the able edit
ors OF the country? They do the thinking for
the great mass of their fellow citizens and gen
orally they do it well. They devote time and
study to the formation of their opinions. they
read widely and travel extensively, and SO are
usually the best qualified class in the community
to express q sound opinion. Last August some
two hundred OF the editors OF Minnesota took a
trip over 1.-The Burlington" from ST. Paul to
of the Mississippi, enjoying the magnificent seen

ing millions against the citadel OF

no standard but their arbitrary will,
and no limit to their greed and pow
er, fix the price OF common articles OF
necessity at such a rate that men
must starve in getting them or starve
from not being able to get them.
They turn to notify the sovereign
people of this free republic, who are
writhingin the grasp ofthese masters,
that by their will they are permitted

GUS men OF this republic would not
say the anarchist with his torch, the
nihilist with his bomb, or the labor

but would point to those wealthy
men, who by there selfish greed and
exactions, have brought condition
within the limits OF our republic which
threatens the safety of it's consti-
buttons and are already attacking
the purity of it's government. Ma

ing criticism OF the supreme court Of

ing criticism of the supreme court Of
this state:
"The staunch and fearless Window
Reporter mercilessly scores Judge
Collins, OF the supreme court, for his
Infamous decision sby which the rail
road lands in this and other counties
in the state are to remain for all the
future free and exempt from taxa
tion." The Reporter uses strong Ian
guage but we believe it is deserved.
Our supreme court has certainly
laid itself open to grave suspicion
for it's vacillating and inconsistent
course in deciding and reversing
decisions in the famous land tax
cases. Southwestern Minnesota
should remember the men composing
it whenever they seek the SURFACES OF
the people,
To this the Standard says:
And yet the salaries of it's members
wereincreased by the last legislature,
and they shamelessly persist in rem
dering the most outrageous decisions
that have ever debased the admins
tration of justice in the West.
The Standard opposed the renom-
nation and the election Of every one
of them who asked to be continued
in his place, but the Republican
party, knowing their unfitness, has
regularly returned them to power.
The people of this republican gov
eminent will patiently endure great
er abuse of their rights than those OF
any other nation outside the realms

How the floods will open when the watered STOCK

How the people will rejoice in the country and

After the song Prof. j. Allison was
introduced and gave us a good lecture
in which he urged the farmers and la
borering classes to be united and
stand firm; and secure the rights
that are ours, in the management OF
this government. In looking over
the official role for farmers and labor
ing men, Mr.. Allison said it is well
known fact that no poor man could
secure any United States office, and
running along down the list Of State
officials, boards OF appointments,
etc., he failed to find a single farmer
until he got to the Tax List-they
were all there. After the lecture,
committee on resolutions reported
the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted:
Moved, to send copy of minutes,
together with copy OF resolutions to
the GREAT WEST, for publication.
Moved, a vote of thanks to the
choir. Motion carried.
Meeting closed with the song,
