eve would like to have the ca
daver explain to his readers what he
means by his illusion to our being a
school district treasurer and getting a
supply of coal from the district. -
Dodge City Democrat.
The above statement of the case is
as clear and explicit as it can be put
in the English language so far as it
goes. If the good brother wants to
know the dates and amounts of coal
taken, he can doubtless obtain the re
quired information from those team
sters he employed to do the hauling
Furthermore; while he is looking up
the school district coal matter he
might also figure up the exact sum of
money he converted 80 his own use.
And if he takes any interest in mat
ters pertaining to rustling generally,
he might find the subject Of taking
two OF three loads of good lumber
from the Duck Greek Ice house on
pretext of getting waste material for
kindling entertaining for a change.
Or, if he finds it to his taste to regale
his readers on such news, he can dish
up something rich, rare and racy, by
giving a detailed account of how he
used to obtain provender for his house
from the Dodge House barn. We
we're not until quite recently aware of
the fact that our esteemed contempo-
rary was mixed up IN SO many little
affairs of this kind. But ever since
he opened up the matter in the Dem
ocrat his neighbors have been drop
ping in to tell us about different in
stances of crooked work until we have

public welfare requires that the hen
roosts of this community be looked
after whenever the Duck Greek States

TIE corrupt Cox dynasty which
has the sublime audscity to AK the
people of Ford county for another
lease of power after plundering them
of more than thirty thousand dollars,
continues to devote the principal
part of the original matter in its or
gan to scurrillous attacks upon the
editor Of this paper because we have
exposed the crooked work of the cor
rupt outfit. its corps Of hireling
writer's was augmented last week by
the addition Of Daniel Gardner Esq.
whose poetic nature has evolved a
most elaborate poem attacking in a
personal manner the editor of this
paper. For some reason this literary
gem Vas published anonymously.
The interests Of the gang would be
better served by placing the name of
Bro. Gardner ut the head of his con-
tributions, us it would decidedly ele
va:e the reputation of the outfit to
have it publicly announced that he is
associated with the staff of their liter
AIRY defenders. We presume, how
ever, though Daniel has prostituted
his high literary talents to the ser
vice of the tax absorbers, he yet has
sufficient regard for his good name
to desire that in this connection he
remain incog.

The restriction placed by the Ger

has been removed. We have Uncle
Jerry Rusk and Major Mckinley to
to thank for this. There was a pro
vision in the Mckinley law that when
Germany admitted our pork her beet
sugar would be admitted into the

The lectures given ut the rink this
week have had a sound familiar to
all who took any interest in political
matters some fifteen years ago, but
with more attention paid to county
politics. Neither republicans nor
democrats have any desire to see the
peoples party cease to exist as Il par
ty, though any man who believes III
the principles vi his party has Il de
sire 10 see it win, ANA naturally looks
to other parties from which to increase
his party vote. Three parties Of an
equal, or nearly equal strength would
have no real effect upon the govern
ment, but lii county matters it is IL
different affair. An effort is being
made to GUST the ringsters, and will
probably be successful, though the
main work Of the new party seems to
be to keep the ring in bower, by the
defeat of the republican ticket. No
other reason can be given by u man
who understands the relative strength
of the parties. The Republican ticket
is in the lead, and the gang u close
second, with the new party in the
rear. while the possibility of any of
the peoples party candidates wining
the race is 50 slight that a vote cast
for them is but compliment to the
gang. The CRY of calamity is not Il
new one, and when the exhorters, as
at last nights meeting, declare the
country in more danger than at any
time in the past, and at the same time
indirectly aid the gang iii their dep
relations upon the treasury of that
part II the natiou nearest to rs, we
cannot believe them sincere.

Fifty Years in Prison.

Old John Mount, one of the most noted
criminals this country ever knew. died at
the home of his niece in Covington, Ken
lucky, on the seventh of the present month,
at the advanced age of SO years. His life
confirms the old adage that 1.-The way of the
transgressor is hard" His life was a
checkered one. From noted and reckless
counterfeiter, burglar and thief, he became
in the last years of his life an upright.
straightforward and honest old man. with
the entire confidence of all who knew him
personally.
The old man said that he could with Ger
tainty count up fifty years and six months
that he had actually served in the prisons of
Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio
and Kentucky for cOunterfeiting and other
crimes and was not sure that some time
had not escaped his memory. A few years
ago John Mount was known as one of the
most expert engravers of the United States
treasury notes in the country. His skill tor
years baff1ed the treasury experts and bank
ers. and many OF the notes made by him
turned up years after as spurious after hav-
ing passed through the banks of the country
time and time again undecided. He fol-
lowed cOunterfeiting for years and it was
claimed by him that several well-knOwn
men in the states named actually grew rich
from the result of his labOrs in engraving
counterfeit plates. He not only followed
the cOunterfeiting of the paper currency of
the country, but gold and silver counterfeit
ing as well. In fact. all his early counter
feiting was in the making of spurious coins,
which was done before the late war. He
served in all % years for this character Of
violations of the laws of his country.
He was bold. desperate man. intelligent
above the average, with much dash and
vigor, and in his younger days as handsome
as he was smart. He was never cruel
man. but, on the other hand, was tender
hearted and generous to all but his out
spoken foes. He never killed man in his
life outright, but many of his pursuers be-
fore the war carried scars inflicted by him
to their graves. In the latter years of his
life nothing so delighted him as to gather
around him on the sidewalk, in the shade
of some friendly tree. number of small
children and tell them innocent tales. In
the presence of ladies or children he never
spoke of his criminal career. All his refer
ences to his bandit life seemed to be directed
to the one object of having the world bet
tered by knowing the final miseries of the
man who would live such life.

Choice Thoughts.


Choice Thoughts.
Wisdom is only magnified commonsense.
Having decided for yourself, grant the
same privilege to others.
Education is a better safeguard of liberty
than a standing army.
1t is not the clock with the loudest tick
that keeps the best time.
1t is more honor to fail, than to cease
pushing for fear you will fail.
Fortunes are made by taking opportuni.
ties; character is made by making them.
Every man is worth just so much as the
things are worth about which he busies
himself.
Trust to God to weave your little thread
into web, though the pattern shows it not
yet.
No permanent fame can be founded, ex-
cept in labors that promote the happiness of
mankind.
The man who for party forsakes right
eousness goes down. and the armed battal-
ions of God march over him.

ENGLISH LITERATURE.
(RepOrt for Glass Az

In reviewing the history of the English litera-
ture. we find that it is not constant and steady
growth of progress. but rather, progress that
goes in cycles, or waves. of such prominence that
each succeeding wave is looked upon as wonder
which will revolutionize the world. First we have
Chaucer rolling from sembarbarity and revolu-
tionizng everything befOre it-foliOwed by ripples
which only offshoots of the one parent wave

in its turn swallows up and revolutionizes every
thing before it. Then comes Bacon, Milton.

Scott being at the dawn of the nineteenth cent

'Marmian," the Lady of the Lake" and the Lay

should be classed the father of historical
literature. Being the first author to write history
in the form of fiction, under his master hand he
has done more to preserve and instill into the
minds and hearts of his readers throughout the
world the true spirit and essence of history than
