The Primary Vote.

The vote in the primary election last Saturday was 2131 against 17S7 two years ago, gain of 344 votes. This increase in two years is quite significant, showing as it does that large number of democrats who have been deceived into atfillation with the union labor movement are tired of thelr allies and have come back home. If the combine can find one gleam of comfort or ray of hope for their cause in the returns they are indeed easily pleased and satis- fled. Below we present the cold facts in the shape of figures:

School Items.

RussellVllle spent s5000 abroad for school purposes last year. Most, 1T not all, of this should have been kept at home and the want supplied by our home school.
 Five thousand dollars a year would enlarge our building, furnish 1t with every requirement, supply departments of music. art and every accomplish ment, and place faculty of teachers equal to any in the school where our pupils are sent.
 This amount would give these adyan- tages to all, not to the wealthy alone. It would make the school worthy of a large outside attendance because of the superior advantages offered.
 Forty outside pupils would bring in- to the school funds over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. This would supply longer terms and needed additional teachers. Besides this amount in tuition, it would bring to the town 5000 in board bills etc. The school could be made any. thing the most ardent friend of schools could wish. It takes money and en- thusiasm to do anything we'll. A thoroughly organized, well equipped school would bring the best class Of people to the town and add much to Its growth. Again, if Conway can pui $750O0 into a college from which very few of It's citizens derive any benefit should not the citizens of Rusellvillt be willing and anxious to contribute ANY SUM needed to make our scbOo first-class in every particular, giving to EVERY PUPIL the advantages of { good education. Will it not be well to think on these things"

A COMPOSITE ROMANCE,
I. THE LETrER-cARRrER's STORY.


There is one family on my rxute that
gives me more trouble than all Of the
others put together. Not that they ever
complain of me or compel me to walk to
the top Of a five story building, but l
can't make them out. l don't usually
bother my head about the people to whom
| deliver mail; there is something so sim
gular about this one family, however,
that can't help taking particular notice
Of them.
They live in an elegant stone house on
Kenyon avenue, and consist of middle
aged gentleman, John Godfrey by name,
his maiden sister and his daughter, girl
Of seventeen.
Mr.. Godfrey, who is a wealthy rail
road man, has hard, stern look, and his
sister doesn't appear to be any too
amiablc, but the daughter has fairly won
my old heart. She is as handsome as
picture and she always had smile for
me when she came to the door (the
maiden aunt answers my ring now), and
how her face would light up when l
handed her letter addressed in round,
manly hand to Miss Nena Godfrey, and
postmarked c..
At first, when she and the servants
stopped coming TO the door, couldn't
understand 1t, but have arrived at the
conclusion that the maiden aunt always
takes the mail in order to prevent Miss
Nena from getting her letters. During
the time Miss Ncna came herself l
brought her letter postmarked c.
nearly every day. Since then have de-
livered only two for her, and the maiden
sunt's face has worn such satisfied look
as she took them, that am sure the
letters are from some young man Miss
Ncna is in love with, and her father and
aunt are trying to break off the match.
l met her on the street one day short
distance from the house, and she stopped
as though to speak to me. She changed
her mind, however, and passed on with
a pleasant "Good morning, but noticed
that her lips quiyered as she spoke. l
think she wanted to ask me something
about her letters. Poor grill l wonder
how it will end3

Stature Of Various Nations.

According to the Investigations of the
Anthropological Committee Of the British
Association, recently reported, the mean
stature of the Germans does not rise
above five feet, five and one eighth inches;
while the Swiss average is little
greater, being five feet, seven and four
fifths inches. The English are the tall
est race among men, their average height
being five feet, ten inches, the working
classes included, outside of which the
average stature would amount to only
five feet, nine inches. The Norwegians,
however, are, at least, their equals. The
Danes, Dutchmen and Huugarians aver
age five feet and eight inches; the Swiss,
Russians and Belgians, five feet and seven
and four-fifths inches. The Frenchman's
mean stature does not rise above five feet
and five and one-eighth inches. In Ger
many there appears decided difference of
size between the inhabitants of the South
and those of the North; for example, the
Hanoverians aud Bavarians--in favor of
the former. The smallest Of all European
nations are the Italians aud Spauiards,
who show mean of only five feet and five
inches. While, as mentioned, the work.
ingmen of England eviuce an average
superiority of bodily size, in France the
other classes exhibit a mean measure by
nearly an inch exceeding that Of the
laboring population. Courier Journal.

An Eccentric Lord in Colorado.

The familiar form Of Lord Ogilvie has
not been seen this week in the vicinity
Of the Victoria Hotel, where he makes
his headquarters during recent visits to
the city. According to report Lord
Ogilvie is spending brief vacation at
Los Vegas, N. NJ, to test the benefit of
the mud baths and to get rid of the de-
bilitating effects of the races. In speak
ing of this remarkable character, for all
who know Lord Ogilvie will agree that
he has capacities of high order, gen
tleman said yesterday: 'T have never
known Ogilvie to go to bed while paying
his periodical visits to this city. Thirty
minutes sleep in chair each twenty -four
hours is about all his system seems to re-
quire and he awakens apparently as re-
freshed as il he had slept all night. He
is only twenty-eight years of age and first
dropped into Denver about ten years ago
on visit to the mountains with his
father. The elder ogilvie took sick at
at the Windsor Hotel, and died after a
brief illness. The remains were sent to
Scotland for burial in the old family
vault. Ogilvie is remarkably well read
upon subjects, and when at home on his
ranch, near Greeley, he spends the main
part of his time poring over books. He
is peculiar, one of his peculiarities being
his manner of dress and the odd-looking
plaid vest by which he is recognized all
over the West. That vest, said he to
me one day, lis patented, and no other
man in the world can wear vest Just
like mine. have contract, duly signed
with the firm in England manufacturing
the material, that it is never to be dupli-
Gated except at my order The vest is
of immense dimensions, and when
stretched at full length extends nearly
to the knees of the wearer. Its only or
nament is huge steel watch chain, which
is also made upon a pattern peculiar to
itself. Ogilvie dresses plainly, but always
wears flannel shirt with high collar,
starched perfectly stiff and fortified by a
high cravat of pongee silk.
~ have visited him at his ranch, con-
tinued the narrator, ''and it would be
difficult to imagine more royal welcome
than is accorded by Ogilvie to his friends.
He lives in the enjoyment of all the good
things that might be desired, and takes
special pride in his herds of blooded
horses and cattle. l was surprised at the
extent of his wardrobe. He showed me
at least fifteen trunks full of clothing, all
made by Poole, the London tailor, and
not one suit in the lot has Ogilvie ever
worn. I'll venture to say that he has $50
complete suits of clothes on hand. Take
him all in all, he is the strangest con-
glomeration of oddities to be found in
the State of Colorado. ."-DenUer Neios.

SITS a Shop, Sir!"

had an experience all my own in
Lock & Co.'s hat store, in st. James
street, writes Julian Ralph in an article
on London, published by Harper's
Weekly. The aged proprietor displays
ancient bonnets and caps in his window,
which is kept scrupulously dusty. Not
ing this, 1 said, ''This must be very
old store indeed"
"Store2" said the man. sits no
store at all; it's shop, sir. l call a
store place for the sale of miscellane-
Gus lot Of goods; but this is a shop, sir.
You ought to be more careful in your
use Of terms"
If that was rudeness-and 1 do not
know how great he considered his prov
ocation-it was the only rudeness l ex-
perienced from any shopkeeper. But
learned from that incident not to say
store. And before left England l had
swelled my index expurgatorius to the
extent that seldom used the following
words: Guess; yes, sir; glass (for
tumbler); railroad; horse car; cents; fix; (;
store; or pad of paper. "Block of pa
per-" they said, when l at last got them
to understand that 1 wanted a pad.
"Guess" and ''fix" are pure American
isms, and are TO be used or not as you
want to attract curious attention or to
avoid it; but the most difficult thing for
many Americans in England was to
avoid saying "sir" to stranger who
who addressed them or to an old gentle
man. ''Yes, sir, and ''no, sir" over
there are the verbal insignia of ser
want,
