Three weeks ago a challange was sent
J. f. Kelley, candidate for state Senator,
by J. H. Mccoy for a joint discussion OF
the political issues in four or more places
in the county, leaving Kelley TO name
the time and place. Kelley has accepted
the challenge like this, Il accept the chal
lange and name the time and place at
Webster, Monday Nov. 9TH" The repub-
licans expected that if the challenge was
accepted that at least three of the dis
cussions would take place in the county
outside of Webster and that the two
sides OF the political situation could be
shown up side by side to a great many
voters OF the county. But Kelley, as u.s.
ual in his political trickery, has lodged
this joint discussion in a mi that
shows cowardice. BY holding this de-
bate on Monday night before election it
makes no difference how the discussion
might turn, it cannot hurt or do any
good to either party. We know about
the whole story told the voters by Kelley
is a gross Misrepresentation and he was
afraid OF having his fine story exposed
too early in the campaign. That is why
Kelley did not accept this challenge AZ
given. The story from the west part of
the county showing a conversation be-
tween Kelley and a companion III the
presence of the driver also has some bear
ing on this joint discussion. As Kelley
and his companion We're returning from
a school house Kelley said: did you zee

General Discussion.

In conclusion, we again express a de-
sire to have all who ear possibly do SO
be with us at our next meeting. This is
a noble work and school boards and
patrons are beginning to recognize in a
large degree the value of these training
schools and those who do, not avail
themselves of the advantages thus affor-
ded them, will find themselves in the
near future without Il position in our
public schools.

We received a telegram Tuesday bear
ms the sad tidings OF the death OF George
Hindman at the residence OF his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. d. I, Hindman in Britton.
George was an only son and a youth Of
much promise, of an open-hearted, genial
nature, generous and affectiOnate. He
made many warm personal friends. All
who knew him respected him for his up
right, manly bearing and $ erling worth
OF character, and it was q common a V
ing OF acquaintance that George Hind
man would make his mark in the world.
But it was not to be, for He in whom
We put our trust-who does all things
well, decreed otherwise. Our friends
summons came and the grim reaper sew
cred the frail thread of life and the pure
soul winged it's flight to that celestial
home-that house not made with hands
lilies journey Ger, ere it had scarcely
began. What pen can portray the life OF
n departed friend? Words seem like hol-
low mOckery, but on the sacred page of
memory, there is left the sweet, sad
record OF the life that will remain bright
with undimmed ~luster, "A long as the vi
tai spark shall animate the mortal brain
"A true record OF the friend we had in
life and who still lives in memory.
The sympathy of many FRIENDS in Web
ster is WITH the afflicted family. May
they find some small consolation in the
fact that their beloved son and brother
lived hOnored and respected and his I'M
timely death is mourned by all whoknew
him. Peace be to his ashes.
The remains were buried Wednesday,
under the auspices of the Masonic frater-
nifty, of which he was a member.

ance here since Breckenridge opened

invitations to breckenridge and Set

A complication has arisen, as the wom-

attend the meeting, and had signified
their intention of turning out in large
numbers. They now say that if Owens

tend, but if breckenridge accepts the
invitation they will have nothing to do

A Novel Trap.

A short time ago hunter found, in
patch of woods in Connecticut, eleven
large black snakes tied up in hard
knots and stone dead. Two telegraph
wires ran through the woods overhead,
and few days before there had been
heavy blast set off in a quarry near
by. This broke down the wires, and
started colony of black snakes from
their slumbers in a neighboring ledge.
One of the wires was crossed in a dis
tant city by trolley wire and hence
the broken wires, which lay near the
snakes den, made a death trap. When
the snakes came to the wires trailing
on the ground, one after another
crossed over them, touching the ends
of both wires at the same time. They
thus ''short circuited" them, and re-
ceived shock which caused death
Immediately upon being shocked, each
snake curled up in hard knot, thus
opening the circuit and setting the
trap again.-Golden Days.

THE CURSE OF INTEREST.
Franklin's Bequcst to Boston Was Also an
Object Lesson.

Franklfn's Bequcst to Boston was Also An
Object Lesson.
The announcement by the Boston
papers of the fact that the bequest
made by Benjamin Franklin to his ma
tive city more than century ago has
become available is calculated to re-
vive in the minds of middle-aged read
ers the recollection of the abstruse
arithmetical problems in compound
interest" and the ''progressions' with
which they were more or less familiar
in their school days. Franklin's will
bequeathed tosBoston the sum of $1,000
to be invested in such manner that
principal and interest should go on ac-
cumulating for hundred years. At
the end of that period 100000 was to
be retained from the accumulated
amount and invested for another CEN
tury in the same manner as the previ-
Gus sum had been, the residue to be ap-
piled in furtherance of the purposes of
the beauest, and this or a similar pro-
cess to be repeated at the close of each
century.
The original sum of S., 900 had grown
to nearly half a million dollars, or,
more exactly, to $4,000. After de-
ducting 100000 for reinvestment on
the prescribed plan, there remains in
the hands of the trustees of the fund
the considerable sum of S330,0O0 for
immediate use. According to the terms
of the will this money may be ex-
pended for anything that would i'm
prove or beautify the city, advance the
comfort or happiness of its citizens
attract visitors or protect the city from
enemies" In accordance with the OBJ
jects thus generally set forth the pres
ent trustees have decided to esta blish
and thoroughly equip an institution,
to be known as the Franklin Trade
School," on condition that the munich
pality OF the city of Boston shall as
sumo the full charge and expense OF ITS

eELLAMY's VIEWS ON coxEY.

He Thinks the Commonweal Movement Is
Forerunner of the Disintcgration OF
Present Systems.
The significance of Coxeyism and the
requirements of the situation led a re-
porter to visit Edward Bellamy, ma
tionalist, journalist, and author of
Looking Backward" at his home in
Chicopee Falls to get his views. When
asked the significance of the movement
he said:
I'm the first place, the nationalists,
of whom 1 am one, believe that the
time is near at hand when the present
industrial system will break down and
the national system will take its place.
We see deeply operating causes to bring
about this result, and of course from
this point of view, we regard such a
, great industrial movement as this in
dustrial army is making as contirma-
tory. I should say the most signifi-
can't feature of this industrial situation
| lies, not in the numbers of the march
| ing bOdies-which, of course, are
trifling-but in the fact that it is evil
dent that the laboring masses of peo-
pie, the working classes, are deeply in
sympathy with it. This has been
y
reader knows, by a series of demonstra-
| tions on the part of the workingmen-
the poorer classes generally in the great
cities, as we'll as the smaller districts
along the line of march. 1t is also evil
denced by the sympathetic attitude
of the officials of the Knights of La
Dor, the Federation of Labor and
the Railway union in the west, and
especially in their attempt to assist the
armies by the threatening strikes if
the latter's demands were refused. 1
have been much impressed by what the
| workingmen have said to me person
ally regarding their sympathy with the
movement, and while l was prepared
for a surprise it was even greater than
/ expected. They evidently think it
| their cause and believe that these
armies are standing for their interests.
"The contemptuous expressions from
| many sources as to the SmallneSS or
these armies seem to be ill judged.
The cost and difficulty of moving even
100 men across the country for 1000
miles with no organized commissary is
simply enormous, as any old soldier
will testify. AS these armies have
done what they have done, made the
marches they have made, and main
tanned the good discipline they have
with the resources at their disposition,
is an astounding fact and will be so re-
garded by future historians. The phe-
nomenon as whole of the rise and
course of these demonstrations is sig
nificant not only of a deep discomfort
on the part of the masses with the way
things are going in this country but
also a loss of faith in the ordinary gov
ernmental bodies at Washington. That
this loss of faith is well justified no one
who has followed the course of our ma
tional and state legislatures for num-
Der of years past can question. The
government of this country, whatever
its nominal form, is in effect the rule
of the rich and not the rule of the
DeOple"
