THROUGH THE COUNTY.


Q H0Atoer.
REYNOLDS. Nov. 8. There are
many villages in the state much
larger than Reynolds that do not do
one-half its business. Unassuming
in their ways. the people are ener-
getic, nevertheless, and accomplish
more in q quiet manner than other
communities do with unnecessary
show. Take. for instance, the large
amount of business don in buying
and shipping grain from this point
by Supervisor Martin Schoonmaker.
This is an enterprise which is highly
convenient, as we'll as profitable. to
the farmers in the surrounding
country. They find a ready market
at their own doors. the cost of trans
portation is greatly lessened and the
highest prevailing rates are paid.
The various other business places
are thriving, the hotels are good and
Landlord Kistler. of the Cottage.
SAYS that the best of attention can

The Public school.
The public school is a model in
every way. 1t has three teachers
G. V. Petit. principal. and frank
Kreps and Miss Oletha Muse, assis-
tants. There is an enrolment of
about 100 in the three departments
primary. grammer and High school.
Some Is pupils from outside the dis
trict are receiving tuition. The con-
dition of the school is excellent. Its
equipment, regarding maps. globes
and physical apparatus, is all that
could be desired. The walls are
handsomely decorated with picture:
of various kinds, and a cheerful ap
pearance is thus rendered. The pu.
pills are bright to marked degree

II Was An LOve.

A writer for the Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day Of very
pretty scene on q street car. There was
an old negro woman-a very black old
woman-whose face, besides being black,
was pockmarked. No doubt . superb
cial observer would have called her re-
pulsive, but there was sweet and kind
" look in her eyes and . benevolent ex-
preston about her black features which,
a. you looked 1t her, gave you glimpse
of something beautiful.
At her side, with his sweet child face
toward the window, lmelt . little white
boy-a handsomely dressed little char
with blond curls and blue eyes. He
asked the old black woman question:
now and then, which she answered Will
. deep, grave, kind voice, and she called
the little fellow honey"
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman
put his arm lovingly around her necl
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face. That obliterated ever
bit of responsiveness the woman might
have had with every person Of sentimen,
In that car. To this little boy the OLD
black face was entirely beautiful, be
cause it was Ill love. The beauty tia.
b saw was good deal more than Glkiz

Percent Gospel.

One of the Hawaiian Commits
sioners has a long article in the
North American Review in favor of
American annexation, but busy
man can save great deal of time by
reading only one page, as that con-
tains the gist of the whole. Mr..
Thurston shows that Mckinley was
the author of all Hawaii's woes, as,
by the free admission of sugar, his
tariff bill "cut off all protection at
one stroke from the S25,000000 of
American capital invested" in the
Islands. He goes on:
"The price of sugar belonging to
Americans in Hawaii was reduced in
round numbers from 500 to $50 a
ton. The same amount of sugar
produced in Hawaii, that sold for
Sl2,159OiS in 1890, will sell for only
S6,963,5Ol in 1892, a reduction of SIS,
19o,5ll, or ~ % percent, and the
effect has been to reduce the selling
price to, or less than, the cost of
production, ON all but few of the
most favorably located plantations.
With rare exceptions, plantation
stock is unstable. 1t is inevitable
that, if present conditions continue,
an immense amount of capital in
vested, not only in sugar, but in in
dustries subordinate to and Deepen
dent thereon, will be lost, and that
all values at the Islands will suffer
seriously"
The noble stand for free institu-
tions made by the Americans in Ha,
wall, and their heroic determination
to have nothing more to do with a
"heathen and sorcerous reaction"
are made clearer in the above, by at
least ~ 2-3 percent, than in anything
else the Hawaiian Commissioners
have said or done.-NeW York Post

Superintendent Byrnes has closed
the New York poolrooms. A law
was passed six years ago allowing
the sale of pools only on race tracks
within certain months of the year.
This law has been constantly evaded
by the owners of pool rooms taking
peoples money on commission to be
sent out to the tracks for betting
purposes. Years ago the police
could have brought this game to Il
test, and the open question now is
why Byrnes has started in to do
what he could have done at any
time since the passage of the law.

THE BRITISH IN INDIA.

The British recently occupied
Chilas, beyond Chitral. with a garri-
son and fortified the place with the
intention of holding it permanently.
The mountain tribes made an at
tack on the fort, which was bravely
defended by the British. The CON
tlict was desperate and sanguinarv,
and the natives We're at length driv-
on of with loss of POO men. The
British then took the aggressive and
marched against the entrenched vii
lagos of the hostile tribes, storming
village after village under command
of MAJ Or Daniel, who himself was
shot through the heart. Every point
occupied by the hostile natives was
carried, the British losing twenty
eight killed and thirty wounded in
the fight. The tribesmen, finding
themselves unable to resist any
longer, submitted to British author
ity. The result of the struggle great
ly strengthens the British position
at what was considered its weakest
point in the vicinity of Hindy Kush

A BRITISH ENVOY SNUBBED.

The Ameer of Afghanistan has
written to the Viceroy of India that
he will not meet Lord Roberts to
confer as to the trouble among the
tribes on the Indian frontier. The
Ameer claims the right to deal with
those tribes according to the sacred
laws of his people and objects to in
reference from the outside. He
says the arming of Afghans is de-
signed to meet an attack from either
England or Russia. He processes a
special friendship for England and
a readiness to cooperate with her in
any feasible plan for preserving the
integrity of the northwestern from
tier. The Afghans are greatly ex-
cited by the rumors of coming at
tack by the British. The Amer has
