Attempted Arson Near Rush Hill.
Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
RUSH Hill, Mo-, April 4.-Sun-
day night at a late hour there was
an attempt made to burn Coil &
Snider's threshing machine south
of town at Mr.. Adolph STEMS farm,
where they had it under a shed.
Miss Ida Stein and Mr.. Hofsess
were at church that night, and as
they returned home they discovered
the fire at the shed and the alarm
was given. MI. Hofsess went i'm
mediately and found it was the ma
chine on fire and heard the party
making his escape. Fortunately
there was a pond of water near the
shed and they saved it from burn
ing. The fire was set in the back
end of the separator, and there was
some chaff in it which burned the
reidles and elevator. They say the
damage is estimated at from $50 to
500. The man hitched his horse
in Mr.. Kelyhall's field where the
ground was plowed, and they saw
his tracks the next morning. One
of the neighbor boys had been to
see his girl, and on his way home
met the gentleman and recognized
him and they say if he don't come
up and settle they will use the law
to the fullest extent. 1t was lucky
for Coil & Snider that Miss Ida
went to church.

"No legislation in this country can
make the raising Of wheat for expert
profitable" says the Sioux City Journal,
and we refer those who think that the
man in the White House governs the
price of wheat to the Journals comments
on the subject published elsewhere in
this issue. 1t ia strange that i'll these
days of cheap reading matter that any
intelligent farmer cannot sift enough
chaff from the grain to see that the price
of wheat is fixed by causes over which
the United States has no control, much
less any political party. The journal is
too great a newspaper has too much at
stake-to risk its reputation by deceiv-
ing its readers. 1t is the little 2x4 sheets
that find it more profitable to lie.

The Official Paper Of Brule County.
Creaine-ies.

A creamery meeting was attended in
Castalia by Just two men and the Record
and Republican gets hot about it.
As a rule it will pay to fight shy of
these gentlemen who want to organize
creamery companies in order to sell a lot
Of machinery at big prices. There is
nothing The matter with creamcries on
general principles. They are always a
good thing for the farmers and the coun-
try as q rule a much better thing for
the farmers than those who operatesthe
creamery. A cree merry in order to be
profitable to its owners must run the
year around, Oh nearly so, and to do this
requires great many cows in the coun-
try surrounding. This is why so few
creameries are successful in the thinlY
settled northwest. Farmers will do VOL
to encourage tile establishment OF cream
cries, but should fight sly Of putting any
money into them. There is ALWAYS
plenty of capital seeking investment and
the country is full of men hunting for
anything to make a dollar. II the cream
cries are such ALFRED good things there
will be plenty OF men TO build and operate
them without calling upon the farmers.
Co operative companies are usually fail
| ures. Everybody to his knitting, as the
old saying is. Let the creamery men
build their creameries and operate them
and let the farmer furnish the milk.

the product OF Florida oranges has in
creased in the last eight years from GCO,-
00e to 100000 boxes, and that amount
is about as much as can be marketed at
a profit. 1t will not be many years be-
fore the Florida crop will reach 10000
o''0 boxes annually and the price will go
SO low that there will be no money in the
business. As the groves increase in age
and productiyeness with greater pace in
crease the diseases and parasites that
infest them. 1t is one constant fight
from the day the grove is planted and
never let's up. One Florida grower spent
$1,000 for Kerosene used on his trees the
past season alone.

One thing is plain to us. If com
munity will insist on having saloons.
legally or illegally, the property of that
community should pay all the expenses
of fights, brawls, murder trials, etc.,
naturally growing out of the saloon
traffic, and it is au outrageous injustice
to saddle these costs upon people who
are i'll no wise responsible for the evil.
In fact, it would be only simple Justice
to have those who vote saloons npon a
community, give security to pay Tie ex-
pense Of the damage done by them, if
this were possible to estimate in dollars
and cents, but it can't be done.-Woon-
socket News.
II A community will insist OH not hav
ing licensed saloon the property of that
community should pay all expenses of
prosecutions naturally growing out an
attempted enforcement, and they should
pay also all losses of revenue. 1t is an
outrageous injustice to saddle the costs
of futile prosecutions upon people who
are nowiseresponsiblef for sucl, an asinine
law as state wide prohibition. Isn't this
plain to you, also. Mr.. Kelley?

Princeton Exchange:-1he man who
conducts his business on the theory that it
doesn't pay, and he can't afford to adyer-
tise, sets up his Judgment in opposition
to that of all the best business men in
the world. With few years experience
iii conducting small business en- few
thousand dollars OF capital he ass .ilncs to
know more than thousands of mel whose
hourly transactions aggregate mere than
his do in . year, and who have male their
aillions by pursuing a course that lie
saws doesn't pay.
lfadvertising doesn't pay why is it that.
generally speaking, the most srccessful
merchants OF every town, large or small,
are the heaviest advertisers? Ii adver-
tising doesn't pay, who does the most
business? Ii it doesn't pay to advertise,
why do tile heaviest business firms III the
world spend millions in that way? Is it
because they want to donate those Mil
lions of dollars to the newspaper and
magazine publishers, or because they
don't know as much about business as
the storekeeper in country town, who
says money spent in advertising is mon
ey rlivmn away, or donated to the man
to whom it is paid? Such talk is simply
ridiculous, and it requires more than the
average patience to discuss the PROPOSE
tion of whether advertising pays or not
with that kind OF a man. His complacent
self conceit i'll assuming that he knows
more than the whole business world is
laughable, and reminds us of the man
who proved that the world doesn't re-
volve by placing pumpkin on a stump
and watching it all night.

Henry Watterson isa bad man to wake
up, as She Des Moines Register has just
discovered. A few days ago it published
sneering criticism of an address en-
Abraham Lincoln by Kentucky's most

An amended bylaw Of the Illinois
Press association provides that no one
can participate in excursion privileges
unless member of the association for
two years in good standing. Up to the
present time it has required three years
membership TO obtain excursion privi-
legcs, and it was only after the hardest
kind of-fight at the recent meeting in
Chicago that the time was reduced TO two
years. OF course the bylaw is for keep

the business as those who follow that
line. But one doesn't have to boa miller
to see through milIstone when there is
Il hole in it. The last issue OF the Dakota
Farmer contains twenty-five essays writ

in farming in this state. We have taken
the trouble to wade through the lot, and
veryinteresting it is. The essays modest
ly tell a tale Of success from small
beginnings that points safe and sure

fact to be deduced from the essays is that
