If we could by fair and equitable processes d.
vide up the enormous estates of the Astors. Van.
derbilts. Goulds. and Rockfellers among the
entire people it would be among the best things
that could happen. hundred thousand dollars
is enough for any man or family. Then if great
plan needed to be carried out it could be done by
bank corporation capital. One of the great
dangers to this nation and especially the West is
threatened in the concentration Of wealth in a
few hands. An enormous individual capital work
ing by methods of secrecy. which are at the COM
mand of crafty millionaire, can buy almost any
thing tf anybody. Some judges and certain
members of legislatures. sometimes amounting to
majorities, are to be bought-at least such things
have happened and therefore may happen again.
Such things are menace to free institutions and
should not exist.
And now a word about the Worlds Fair. People
on the Atlantic seaboard make mistake if they
think that the Worlds Fair at Chicago is going to
be Chicago fair, Illinois cattle show, as
some have named it. Chicago is not handling the
Worlds Fair-the United States have the job in
hand and the location of the enterprise is mere
incident The fair had to be somewhere. New
York, Washington st. Louis. Cincinnati and Chi.
cago wanted it. One only could be appointed,
therefore four had to be Disappointed but at the
proper time all of them and the communities
which they represent will put their shoulders to
the wheel and the great movement will go on.
Chicago got the prize of the location because she
worked for it. There is certain spirit in the
West that is progressive and full of insstence it
exists and shows itself; you can't repress it. The
New York people didn't thoroughly comprehend
this. They took it for granted that the commu.
nifty at large would agree with them that New
York city was the only place in America to hold a
worlds fair and while they reposed quietly in the
belief the Chicago men went to work and used all
the arts of persuasion known to mankind, and, in
short, they got there. There will however, be a
great display at Chicago. Chicago has the finest
parks in the country; its citizens think there is
not such another city in the world, and they will
strive to impress the same belief on the min DIS of
all the world at the proper time.

OHAUTAUQUA.
LAST SUNDAYS MEETING.

LAST SUNDAYS MEETING.
Sundays meeting of the Chautauqua circle was
of such a character that it was with regret the
members heard the president announce that a
motion to adjourn would be in order.
The new feature of the "voice of song has be-
come most popular addition to the program and
it is now fight to a finish between the literary
and lyric for the honor of being the favorite of
the circle
The superiority of the reports, recitations,
songs, etc., has not been surpassed at any previ-
GUS gathering of the members, but the leading
feature of the meeting was the excellent address
WHO Were the Political Ancestors of the
American Republic?'-delivered by our Critic,
Rev. ]. II. Albert 1t is to be regretted that cir
cumstances will not permit its publication at pres
ent but it is hoped that in the near future the
many readers of the Chautauqua Column may
have opportunity of judging tor themselves of
its rare excellence and historic worth. The theme
not the most popular but the historical facts
adduced and the scholarly manner in which they
were put, popularized it to such extent that
even the Irish members surrendered their claims
for fame and gladly crowned the land that pro-
duced such noble types of manhood as William
the Conqueror and Lord Baltimore.
The full sympathy of the circle went out to poor
"Yim HOhnsOn' who, having been elected to the
legislature by twenty-seven votes, found himself
so thereafter in saltwater dressed in base
ball suit-so base that when his poor wife visited
him it took her the full thirty minutes allowed by
the rules to be convinced that it was her own
Vim who stood before her, and that those beauti.
full locks. the joy of her many hours. were gone
from her grip forever.

THE TEMPER OF THE WEST"
(Rennrt for Class 3 hy W.Ol

Western America is one of the most interesting
subjects of study the modern world has seen.
There has been nothing in the past resembling its
growth and probably there will be nothing in the
future. A vast territory wonderfully rich in nat
.ural resources Of many kinds; temperate and
healthy climate. and soil generally. in many
places marvelOusly fertile; in some regions
mountains full of minerals. and in others track
less forests, unbounded praries, magnificent riv-
ers and beautiful lakes which can't occur else
where because our planet contains no such other
favored tract of country. Nature and time seem
to have conspired to make the development of the
Mississippi basin and the Pacific slope the COM
pletest achievement in the whole record of the
civilizing progress of mankind. There we find the
beautiful land rapidly filling up with immigrants
from all over the wOrld-all seeking homes in this
Western world with which it abounds, and it can
be asserted without fear of contradiction that, as
rule. all settlers in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
who have displayed ordinary intelligence in
selecting land and in the management thereof,
have been successful beyond their most sanguine
anticipations. A few have undertaken too much
without capital; some have selected and cropped
land better adapted for grazing than for tilling.
but comparatively few have failed to realize a
generous return for their labor. Some, who we're
disappointed. owing to such plumbers at the start,
succeeded at the last, and are among our most
prosperous and wealthy citizens Last year the
yield Of wheat in the Dakotas and Minnesota was
not far from l50.OOO.OOO bushels. Consider the
amount of money which that brings to the North.
west. 1t is not all profit of course. but large
part of it might be called wages because it repre-
sents the results of labor, and it will be enor
nous benefit to that portion of the United States
and the rest of the country. Such influx OF
money thus distributed is vastly better for the
community than where few men acquire vast
fortunes by successful deals.

A clergyman not long since observed a
horse jockey trying to take in simple gen.
tleman by imposing upon him a broken
winded horse for a sound one. The parson.
taking the gentleman aside, told him to be
cautious of the person he was dealing with.
The gentleman declined the purchase, and
the jockey. quite nettled, said: ''Parson, 1
had much rather hear you preach than to
see you interfere privately in bargains be-.
replied the parson, ''if you had been where
you ought to have been, last Sunday, you
might have heard me preach" Where
was that?" asked the jockey. ''In the state
prison." returned the clergyman.-Argo.

The Wife Of q French Government On1cin1
Murders Her Husband : Paramour.
PANS, May 24 The Figaro relates o
story Of q murder, which, in view Of the
Deacon case, is exciting great public in
teEest The story is to the effect that

ing an important position, has been sus-
pecting her husband of unfaithful con-
duct with the wife of deputy who
holds a prominent place in the legisla-
tive chamber and whose name has been
frequently mentioned i. connection with
measures OF national importance. The
wife got an intimation i'm some way that
her husband and the woman who had
captivated his affections might be found
at No. 33 Rue Durecher. She went
there alone, armed with revolver The
husband was taken utterly by surprise
and neither he nor the woman had an
opportunity to escape The husband
when she drew the revolver thought it
was intended for him and dashed out
OF the room, leaving his companion in
sln at the mercy of his infuriated wife.
The latter did not cease firing until five
bullets were lodged in the victims body.
when seeing that her prey was not vet
dead she drew dagger and stabbed her
repeatedly. As people who heard the
struggle came into the room the dying
woman could. not speak. but died in
few minutes. The police were called in
and the murderess taken to prison.
