A. z. LaseIl, who lived in a small
shanty east of the Goa shells, was found
dead there Friday morning by Fred De-
borne, who had been employed by his
relatives TO look after him. 1t was I'M
necessary and against the oft repeated
request of his people for the old gentle
man TO live thus, as they had offered him
q home with them, but he preferred the
companionship of dumb friends to N
others, having lived as a hermit for
years, mingling little with his fellow be-
ings. However he had consented to live
near a brother, u. ID. Lasell, of Roberts
Co., on condition he could have a house
by himself. The habitation had Teen
prepared and he was to occupy it as soon
as the weather would premit, but it was
not to be, and he passed away in the
home of his choice without q loving
hand to smooth the way to the great Be-
yond. Deceased was past the allotted

and the father ola daughter, both long

The Example of Kansas.

Kansas has again given an exam
pie to the Republican party of the
United States. When her freedom
loving population repulsed the eff
forts of Shareholders to add another
state to the domain of human bond.
age that heroic achievement inspir-
cd every heart loyal to liberty for
the greater struggle which came
but a few years later. The Repub-
licans of the western commonwealth
have lately shown that they are not
degenerate, and, happily without
bloodshed, they have compelled an
archy and usurpation to retreat be-
fore the representatives of constitu-
s;onal government. u required no
little courage for the Republican
House to force its way into the hall
from which its members had unlaw.
fully been debarred, and to defy
the weapons of violence with which
lawless Populists attempted to bar
the entry. But courage and reso-
luton triumphed, and anarchy
yielded to order.
The enemies OF the Republican
party throughout the hation are
quite as aggressive and INSCRIPTIONS
as the PopulIsts of Kansas, and
they imagine, that Republican prin.
ciples have been defeated and the
Republican ranks broken, never
again To be organized for victory.
Let Republicans everywhere unite
and pash forward with the resolu-
ton of their Kansas brethren, and
their antagonists will receive a re-
Duke before two years will have
passed as thorough as that admin
istered to the Kansas Populists.-

The roof Of "The Machaye
Spectatorium" weighs 1000 tons
and IS of steel. The placing OF TINS
roof in position was a mechanica'
task of no inconsiderable magma
tude. To accomplish this feat IL
was found necessary to employ She
use of a larger derrick than mechah
ical engineers had ever used. lhis
derrick is of the travelling variety,
so-called, and with its cables Il
guys, weighs nearly 20 tons, STANDS
$50 feet high and is the largest
travelling derrick ever used. 10
raise this derrick took nearly one
week and it was only after four I'M
successful attempts, owing to M
sufficient strength in the tackle
used, that the task was accomplish
ed and the derrick placed in posi-

The Voting

Michigan is preparing for the in
evitable. In the Legislature of that
state there is a bill pending which
providesth that cities or counties may,
if they so elect, do their voting by
machinery. The Trainer of the bill
recognizes the fact that a voting
machine which will register and
count votes rapidly and accurately
is one of the great desiderata of these
"Australian" days.
The time now consumed in count
ing the vote at a general elect.
ion, even with small precincts, is
enormous, and this is n of the
chief draw backs to the successful
operation of the otherwise excellent
system. Inventors have recognized
this great popular want, and many
a mechanical genius is o at work
endeavorlng to perfect a machine
which shall receive, count and foot
up the votes cast and at the same
time be proof against fraud, and so
simple of operation that it will be
as easy for tn tyro to vote by ma
chinery as 10y the present marking
process. At the recent town elect
ions IN New York state a machine
was used with some success and an
Omaha inventor has completed the
working model of of one which he
claims will "vote' men more rapid.
ly than the feat can be accomplished
under the old process and furnish
the footlngs a minute after the polls
close.
The machine is bound to come
and it wall pay for itself in saving
of clerk hire, to say nothing of in
creased accuracy and speed in arriv-
ing at results. -Mpl's. Tribune.

1t is positively stated from Was
hington that Judge Bartlett Trip
of this state is certainly to be app
ointed commissioner of the general
land office. From this it would
seem that President Cleveland IN
tends in this instance to make an
exception to the rule which he has
laid down that those who held
office under his previous admlstra-
ton should not be appointed to any
place during the current term.
The story is that President Hill of
the great Northern who is very
close to President Cleveland and
who it was ex pected would support
the candidacy Of Col. John D. Ben
ton of Fargo has asked for the app
ointment of Judge Trip. There
Is no question that Judge Trip
would make an excellent official In
general change of public land mat
ters and his appointment would
give the people of the northwest
every assurance of a wise and liber-
al ADMINISTRATION of the bereau which
comes closer to many Of them pers-
onally than any other. There could
be little danger of the disgraceful
treatment which William Andrew
Jackson Sparks inflicted upon the
settlers of this reglon.-Sioux Falls

A letter from Minneapolis says
that the supply of fax III this coun-
try is very light aud far below re
quirements. 1t is likely that what
seed there is III the country Will
sell at q figure equal to the cost Of
importing seed to supply the de
mand, and that some seed may be
imported before the new crop is
available. Flax is selling in Chi
cago at 1922 now, and will go
much higher in all probability.
Perhaps farmers would do well to
SOW some fax, instead of all wheat.
The supply of wheat is so great al
