Kings have their little financial diff
culties, just like the rest Of us. His mai
esty Malietoa, monarch Of Samoa, is in
very straightened circumstances because
OF the failure Of the treasury 10 satisfy
his demands for $25 week salary. He
has risen to the occasion, however, in a
manner which furnishes proud evidence
Of the advance Of civilization in Samoa.
He has put squad Of his queens to work
taking in washing. st. Paul Globe.
Occasionally we get correspondence for
publication that is not accompanied by
the writer's name. Please do not over
look this In fnrure, MS we must know the
origin OF correspondence before publish
ing II. Surely no one need be ashamed
of anything which is fit for publication.
OF course the name Of the writer is never
published, unless desired, but we must
know who the contributor is. This does
not refer to regular correspondents,
whose writing We know anyway.
Wednesday morning about O'Clock a
l5.ton stack OF hay belonging To Dan
Ward. was burned on his place ten miles
north Of town. A stack containing four
tons, only few feet away, did not burn.
There is not the slightest clue as 70 Its
origin, but there is no doubt as to it be-
ing the work Of an incendiary. Mr..
Ward Is very poor man, and the loss
falls heavily upon him. A man must he
pretty low in principle who will destroy
such property through petty spite.
Hanging is too good for such dangerous
and vicious beasts.
Mr.. /. A. Henderson and wife, Of
Beecher Flat, were in town Saturday.
He informed us that some Of his grain
will yield remarkably well this season,
Notwithstanding the unfayorable year.
He Is very correctly OF the opinion that
/ II the people would plow deeper and cul-
tivate their land better, they would have
fewer failures in crops. Mr.. Henderson
knows this from long experience, and he
always raises plainly Of grain when many
of his neighhors fail, simply because he
plows deep and cnltivates his soil thor
oughly. Farmers, paste this in your hat.
Prof. and Mrs. O. M. Given received
the sad intelligence this week of the
sickness OF their aged parents in Indiana,
and expect to start for that state Sunday
next. This is doublv unfortunate, as ar
rangements had been perfected to open
normal school at this place, under the
supervision OF Prof. Given. For the
present, at least, it Is probable that moth
ing more will be done in that direction,
but it is hoped they will conclude to re.
turn this fall, and proceed with the
school. During their short stay in oul
midst, Prof. and Mrs. Given have en-,
deared themselves to our people, who
very much regret their departure. Oul
citizens should not by any means let ths
normal school project fall through. AL
over this portion Of the country we hea,
of families and scholars who intend
ed to move to town to have the bene-
fit Of this school, and it would be greai
disappointment SHOULD it fall through
1t is for our citizens to say whether i
will or not.
