jewels eve manufactured is a Past

Hotter of Carson City, Nevada. The
jewel is of solid gold and silver with
enamel OF the three colors OF the order.
The bar is of gold appropriately ornam-
ented and inscribed. Pendant from this
is a wreath of fine green gold on which
rests a triangle, in the center OF which
sparkles a glittering ruby diamond.
From this is suspended the jewel proper,
elegantly chased with coat of arms in
solid silver on a gold oval, the diverse
bearing the inscription: presented to
?. G. c, t. r. Hofer, by Carson Lodge
No. 4, X. OF p, Carson City, New, June
$685." 1t is of regulation design of
minimized size, and is detachable so
that it can be worn as jewel or charm.
Its value is 500, and it has elected the
warmest tokens of admiration from all
who have seen it.-Ex. When worn by
T. r. Hofer the Knights will say;
''There are a pair of jewels" for they
realize that he worked earnestly and
ably for the Pythian Order.

Held Up."

Last Friday evening as the V. & T.
train was leaving Carson for Reno it
was held up by a robber who knocked
in the door of the express car with a
sledge hammer, showed a gun under
messenger Jack Paige's nose and told
him he wanted Paymaster Mills cash
box. Paige gave the robber the box and
politely stopped the train and let the
gentleman of-at his request. The
brakeman saw the robber getting off the
train, told the conductor he guessed it
was a hold up" the conductor told
paymaster Mills and U. s.. Marshall
Humphreys about the robbery-and the
railroad officials and the U. S. Marshall
Humphreys went-back to Carson. So
did the robber and the general opinion
prevails that he got there frst-with
some $1,000. Also that he is there still.
When U. S. Marshall Humphreys
was informed of the robbery he took his
shooter out of his grip. He had a grip
ON it. He took the shooter out of the
grip before the train started back to
Carson. He was seen doing it. The news
papers at Reno and Carson say those
interested wanted to get a posse. Won
der why the other passengers besides
the U. s. Marshall Humphreys were not
told the news? There were q number Of
brave men among the passengers and
they say they couldn't find out why
the train was going back to Carson. II
Marshall Humphreys didn't know what
was going on, why did he take his gun
out OF the grip? In the meantime more
than one played posseum.

James Newlands, of Churchill county.

Jubilant at the condition of their stock
and expect good prices. They are hold
Ing for q and So cents for March de-
livery, but most of the persons outside
OF the business think this is too high
and that they will not get it. Nevada
furnishes a greater portion of the beef
supply of California, and consequently
the status of the cattle market of this
State is watched with interest. Thus far
there have been no losses of stock. and
unless there should be a radical change
i'll weather there will be none.

It Hit Nevada.

Virginia City, New. Feb. 5-There is
great excitement here over the report of
a bright light in the heavens in the
direction of Candelaria, and q trembling
of the earth as if somthing heavy had
struck it. 1t is thought by the leading
Republicans here to be John P. Jones'
Senatorial sack. Dispatches to the
Republican Club at Reno in regard to
the matter SO far fail to elicit any re-
spouse. Already a searching party has
beer sent out to hunt up the locality
where it fell. The report that the shock
was caused by a meteor is d~iscredited.
Local political astronomers from all
parts OF Nevada are sitting up nights to
see if the heavens will be illuminated by
the Newland's Observation-Disclosures

The Great Fruit Belt,

We hear a great deal about the great
fruit belts in different parts of the
country, but that belt of sandy soil ex-
tending westward from Green Bay
across the state is slowly but surely
making a reputation for Wisconsin as a
fruit growing state, which every citizen
may well feel proud Of.
Few people, who are not acquainted
with the facts, will believe that there
are orchards of 1900 bearing apple trees
within 40 miles of the twin cities, but
anyone can see the same by a visit to
Waupaca.
Large quantities of small fruits are
also grown in different places through
out central Wisconsin and there is no
kind of industry that pays such favor
able returns as fruit growing. What
can be done in Waupaca county can be
done in Wood county as well. Why
not read up on fruit growing and set
out few acres next Spring. Now is
the time to look into the subject and
place your orders for trees and plants.
1t is we'll to remember that you can
get the best plants and trees of all kinds
OF Purdy q Read, Grand Rapids, Wis,
and 1t will pay you to see them and get
their prices at once.

Gresham's Reported Retirement.

Chicago Times (Dem.): Dis
patches to a New York Republi-
can newspaper widely copied
throughout the country give the
news-probably untrue-that the
purpose Of the president in taking
Secretary of State Gresham with
him upon an alleged hunting trip
was to arrange for the retirement
from the cabinet of Judge Gresham
and the shifting OF the odium OF
the Hawaiian hasco upon the
shoulders ofthe unhappy official.
So far as Mr.. Cleveland's per-
sonal political habits are concerned,
there is nothing in this story wildly
improbable. He has always, dur
ing his first term as during the
present term, regarded his associ-
ates in the cabinet as a set Of
marionettes whose duty it was to
dance when he pulled the strings.
He has manifested repeatedly the
inherent selhshness of his nature
by throwing responsibility for
errors in which he connived, even
if he was not directly their author,
upon men who had Loyalty and
truly served him. The doubt that
the president will force Gresham
to retire from the cabinet is not
bred of any confidence that Mr..
Cleveland would hesitate to sacri-
fee a friend to accomplish his own
ends, but comes rather from the
belief that SO astute politician as
he must surely understand that
the facts which have transpired in
the course of this Hawaiian tran
saction have SO thoroughly fixed
the responsibility for the blunders
Of Blount upon the shoulders of
the chief executive that any at
tempt to shift it to those of the
secretary of state would be abor-
tive.

Why Dem DC rat Opposes the Wilson
Bill.

Cleveland Plain Dealer DEM:
For this reason we are opposed to
the Wilson bill, because it is not
in accordance with the historic
policy of the Democratic party,
because it leaves out or throws
upon the free list many industries
which are specially American; and
which deserve to be treated Just
the same as other industries are
treated in the Wilson bill. We
people of Cleveland are interested
in having all the manufactures
that are here or which may here
after come here, remain here and
prosper
We do not wish TO
foster a policy that is opposed to
the interests Of the workingmen, to
the producer and to all the people.
For we certainly believe that the
free trade policy is the most detri-
mental to the producing interests
of this country of anything which
we can imagine to exist, next to a
prohibitive tariff that will build up
monopolies and trusts and thus
bind the masses Of the people down
upon the track before the car of
Juggernaut. 1t is the golden
mean between these extremes that
we favor and it is there finally,
where all the thinking people, both
Democrats and Republicans, we
hope may unite.

the world. Now it is proposed to
have him tell the wooden workers
and few other classes that there
are Germans, Frenchmen and
Welshmen who will sell him cheap
er than they have been doing and
that hereafter he will consult the
good of the greatest number by
sending abroad two hundred mil
lions a year and letting them starve
Or become a burden upon the
community.
And this is tariff reform.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1894-01-04
Farmers Should be ProtectiOnists

The first Tariff law that was
enacted in this country was for the
protection of the manufacturing
industries only, manufactures and
infant industries only being spoken
of as needing Protection. But
since the interests of agriculture
have been considered, and that
industry has enjoyed the blessing
of Protection as well. This is well,
since, however great may be our
manufacturing and commercial
enterprises, agriculture is the
cornerstone ola nations prosperity.
Protection means a system Of d.
versifed industry. This does not
mean that bananas shall be cult
waited on Pixies Peak, or that the
products of the Arctic regions
shall be produced in Florida; but
it does mean that all the products
suited to the soil and climate of
the United States shall Reproduced
here in the greatest variety and
to the greatest possible extent.
1t means also that all the enter
prises suited to the skill and genius
of the American people and adapt
ed to the scope Of our civilization
shall be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor. This means that larger
relative percentage Of labor shall
be withdrawn from agriculture.
This means a smaller supply of
farm products, and the political
economist will tell us that this
inevitably means higher prices
Again, diversified industry means
a large employment for labor, and
this means higher wages to the
workingman. Better wages for
labor mean more money to spend
for products Of the farm, hence an
increased demand for farm pro-
ducts will surely give better returns
to the farmer.
Protection, resulting in a diver
sihed system Of industries, means
an increased production Of all
manufactured articles and greater
competition among producers in
the different industrial fields. This
means that manufactured goods
must and will be sold at the lowest
price consistent with a fair COM
pensation for the labor and capital
employed. This means that the
farmer shall be able to purchase
his supplies at a reasonable rate.
Protection guarantees this, and, by
increasing competition affords the
best safeguard against "the oppres-
sive monopolies" which are talked
so much about.
Again, Protection, by bringing
the consumer in contact with the
producer, solves the transportation
problem in the only satisfactory
way. To the farmer transportation
is tax and a burdensome one,
but Protection, by bringing the
producer and consumer nearer
together, reduces this tax to the
minimum.

A Bit of Family History.
From tile AbbletoN Post.

Wllllln the mOmOry OF many
people now living, families did thei,
own manufacturing in their own
houses. Now suppose in those
good old times John Smith had a
family of nine robust, grown-uE
children, one who could make
shoes, one who could spin and
weave, one who could cut and
make clothes, one carpenter, one
mason, one housekeeper and three
farmers, and they had established
among themselves the rates they
should pay each other for doing
work in their trade; that all the
others should pay Sam five dollars
pair for boots and Eliza 81 a yard
for cloth and Josiah 81 a day for
tailoring, Peter and Eben the same
for carpenter and mason work and
Hannah 81 week for cooking
and the farmers good wages, and
they all get along nicely, working
for each other at these prices when
their services were needed, and for
the neighbors when they were not
wanted at home, getting enough
to eat, drink and wear, to pay the
minister and singing master and
saving something every year.
Suppose further that one day the
old man found out that by sending
to New York they would get the
boots which they had been paying
Sam S. for at s. and such cloth as
Eliza charged 81 for at Is cents
and that, accordingly, went home
and told them they must sell al
New York prices or the family
would give New Workers theil
patronage, and when Sam and Eliza
said those prices will leave US
scarcely anything for our work
The leather and wool and hemp we
have to buy will cost that, and we
shall not have anything left to pay
Peter and Eliza and Hannah and
the others with" He had replied
that makes no difference" Its
the greatest good to the creates,
number that we are after. There
are more of us including your
mother and me and only two OF
you. We must buy where we can
buy cheapest and if you can't stay
and sell as cheap as anybody you
must get out, "and with this rule
established Sam and Eliza had gone
out to tramp the highways or live
upon charity or work for whatever
they could get in business with
which they were unfamiliar and in
which they could earn very little.
That of course will be bad for them.
But how about the family as a
whole? The money which they
had been paid for their work
would go to New York to return
no more, and the money that had
been paid the other members
would not go into the family bank.
A brother and sister would be
tramps or paupers and nine others
would be short of work, short of
money, short of everything except
a chance to let some stranger have
S. instead of keeping S. at home.
This is the case with Uncle Sam.
His children have prospered mar
velously, paying good wages,
patronizing each other, keeping
their money at home and giving
everybody chance to get on in

gerous exploit.
parachute Joe" has written the fol-
owing description of the adventure:
ION Monday, about two o'clock, In
gram made n catlike ascent up the
Rushden church spire. He climbed to
the very top, where he balanced himself
on one foot, holding the other in his
hand. He then took leisurable view
of his surroundings from the lofty posi-
ton. Being apparently satisfied he
commenced the descent, and having
reached the topmost crotchets, to the
horror of the crowd below he deliber-
ately turned his back to the steeple
and stood motionless with extended
arms, his feet alone resting on the
slight projection of the crotchets.
Fancy man standing with his back
to a rock resting on narrow ledge o
inches in width, with q yawning
chasm close on 200 feet deep,
into which he might plunge head
long at any moment, and you feel
Ingram's position! A horrible still
ness reigned below throughout the
crowd, who every moment expected to
see Ingram plunge headlong down
through the awful space. To the sur
prise of all Ingram swiftly turned
round again, catching hold of the stee-
pie by one hand, and began making the
descent in a swinging cat-like action,
to the relief of all onlookers. Ingram
warns any persons from initiating his
action up this special spire, as the
crotchets are nearly worn through by
the action of the weather. Ingram
says he never intends ascending an
other spirc only for the purpose q
working thereon, Rushden being the
last of many spires he has assembled"
