William Baker has proven himself

Other districts may have congress-

families have long been residents of
Phillips county and have large
number of friends all over it. Mr..

being a mere boy when he came with
his parents and older brothers to this

that time he has been identified with
the interests of Phillips county and
Phillipsburs, Mr.. Korns as a news
paper man and postmaster during
Harrison's administration, is we'll

The case of Artebun VS.. the Lo-
gan School Board came up for trial
before Judge Baum, last Thursday.
After taking the evidence IN the case
court took the matter under advise
ment until Monday, when decision
was rendered for plaintiff. 1t seems
that an entertainment had been given
by the Logan schools, the proceeds
of which (about $28O0) were placed
Mr.. Artebun's hands for the purchase
of some school library books. The
books he left with them were totally
unfit for a school library-evidently
being old samples Of text books sent
from various publishing houses.
Very serious objections to these books
were entered by an outraged public
and since MIR, Artebun refused to pay
back the money or even to tell where
he purchased the books, the board
kept back $500 out of his wages to
offset this money. Mr.. Artebun there
upon brought suit against the board
for the recovery Of his wages. The
court held that the board had no
power to with hold wages contracted
for, if the contract had been fulfilled.
Ii the case is not appealed other
steps will probably be taken to re-
cover the money.

The FertlIe San Luis valley.

On account of the fertility Of the
soil, the superiority of the climate
and the great advantages Of irrlga-
ton, Colorado is peculiarly adapted
for the successful operation Of small
and medlum-slzed farms, if conduct
ed by men of intelligence, experience
and enterprise, and there is perhaps
no greater opportunity for this class
of farming in any state in the Union
than at present exists in Colorado,
Over five million of dollars is annual
ly sent from Colorado to other states
for the purchase of small farm pro-
ducts which this state could and
should produce.
The San Luis Valley, Colorado, is
a stretch of level plain about as large
as the state of Connecticut, lying be-
tween surrounding ranges Of lofty
mountains and watered by the Rio
Grande River and score or more of
small tributary streams. 1t was the
bottom of q great sea, whose deposits
have made a fertile soil on an average
more than ten feet deep. The noun,
tains are covered with great deposits
of snow, which melt ana furnish the
irrlgatlng canals with water for the
farmers crops. Excepting in the
months of July and August, just be-
fore harvest time, there is practically
no ram or snow fall in the valley,
CLIMATE IS UNRIvALED
The climate IS Observation-Disclosures
perpetual sunshlne,-and the eleva-
ton of about 1000 feet dispels all
malaria, nor are such pests as chlnch
bugs, weevil, etc, found there, FLolv-
ing artesian wells are secured at a
depth, on an average, of about 100
feet and at a cost of about $500
each, Such is the flow that they are
being utilized for lrngating the yards,
garden and vegetable crops, The
pressure is sufficient to carry the
water, which is pure, all through the
farmers dwellings.
IRRIGATION.
Already several thousand miles of
large and small irrigatng canals have
been built and several hundred thou
sand acres of lands made available
for farming operations, Irrigation is
an insurance against failure of crops,
because success is a question only of
the proper application of water to
them. The loss of single corn or
wheat crop Ia Kansas, for instance,
would more than equal the cost of ir-
rigation canals to cover the entire
state, so important is the certainty Of
a full crop return to any agricultural
state. The San Luis Valley will grow
spring wheat, oats, barley, peas, hops,
beans, potatoes, vegetables and ali
kinds OF small fruits and many of
the harder varieties of apples, pears
and cherries. In the yield Of all
these products 1t has neUer been sur
passed by any other section on this
continent.

Enjoyed the Joke.

more at Lake George one evening not
long since and was met upon the arrival
of the boat by very pretty young lady
who had evidently been awaiting him
anxiously.
We'll" said he, after the greetings
had been exchanged, there is one pool
fellow down here tonight who is going
to be disappointed. In coming across
just now a portmanteau fell off the pile
of trunks into the water. Think of be-
ing without a change of clothes down
here!"
The two laughed merrily over the
dilemma of the unfortunate man. The
young chap thought it huge joke and
glibly to his companion described the
discomforts wearing ones shirt turned
inside out, furnishing collars and cuffs
with billiard chalk, and the like. His
companion enjoyed his wit hugely.
Then he gave his check to porter
and went to the room assigned him to
prepare for dinner. An hour or two
later he was observed skulking discon-
solately along the back piazza. At last
his friend found him.

What POst-Mortems Show.

1t may not be so generally known
that recent post-mortem examinations
of the bodies of the blind reveal the fact
that in the nerves at the ends of the fin
gers well-defined cells of gray matter
had formed, identical in substance and
in cell formation with the gray matter
of the brain. What does this show?
asks a writer in the Arena. If brain
and nerves are practically identical; is
1t not plain that, instead of being con-
fined to the cavity of the skull, there is
not any part of the surface of the body
that can be touched by a pins point
without pricking the brain? 1t shows,
moreover, | think, that. given proper
development by recognition and use,
sensation including all the sensations
generally received through the other
physical organs of sense may be re-
ceived through the touch at the tips of
the fingers.
1t proves that a man can think not
alone in his head but all over his BODY,
and especially in the great nerve CEN
tiers like the solar pleXus, and the nerve
ends, on the palms of the hands and the
soles of the feet. The coming man will
assuredly perceive and think in every
part from his head down to his feet.
Need | suggest the Importance of re-
membering, in this connection, how
much in our modern life is conveyed by
the hand clasp, or the deep delight that
comes to lovers in caressing touches,
when impelled to pat the hands or the
cheek of the beloved one, or to stroke
her hair? 1t is through the emotional
life that our sensitiveness is led from
the physical to the psychic plane of SEN
sation.

Wilson and the Mouse

showed that to a man of his fine sensi-
bilities even the cause OF science was
obliged to stand aside occasionally for
the higher claims of humanity. Zone

in school few days ago and directly
marched up to-me with the prize set
about drawing it the same evening, and
all the while the paintings of It's little

agony of fear. | had intended to kill
it, in order to fix it in the claws OF a
stuffed owl, but happening to spill q
few drops of water near where it was
tied, it Tapped it with such eaoerness
and looked in my face with such an eye
of supplicating terror as perfectly over
came me. | Immediately united it and
restored it to life and liberty. The
agonies of a prisoner at the stake. while
the fire and instruments of torture are
preparing, could not DE more severe
than the sutferings of that poor mouse;

felt at the moment the sweet sensation
which mercy leaves on the mind when
she triumphs over cruelty"

Collecting Wishbones.

Strange what fads possess some peo-
pie. The delegate the other evening,
calling upon one of the sweet girl
graduates, was surprised to have her
make of him this peculiar request:
wont YOU" asked she, "help me in nv
collection?" "What, postage stampsP"
be asked. NO, indeed; that's only for
school children. You know, collections
are present day fad. | am going to
be just bit eccentric and have started
an original collection. You NAV think
it an odd fancy, but I'm collecting wish
bones" So saying, she displayed those
already gathered She has a vast as
sortment strung about her own room
and any number put away in boxes
Now, then" she poutingly said, Il
think you might help me in my collec-
ton. If you can't get wiShbone when
you dine on game at the club or ut the
hotel you can do another thing-save
all your empty cigar boxes for me to
put my gems away in, won't you?" OF
course, the promise was made. Then
she showed more and more of her wish
bones. Among them were those of
particularly large and small birds. She
even had the wishbone of humming-
bird. Asked if any others were inter-
ested in this fad. she said that all the
girls of her set" were yying one with
another as to who could collect the
wishbones of the rarest birds As she
moves with a very swell circle, and a
large one at that, the wishhone collec-
ton fad will probably soon be the rage.

Wouldn't Sell to the Empress

A lady in Brookline Mass, was in
Europe some two or three years ago
and she found in some neglected cor
ner fine old picture of the unfortunate
duke of Monmouth, whose ambition
was his uudoing. She bought the pict-
ure, which presently became quite ia
nous among artists and dealers, and
some time afterward, when she was at
home in Brookline, she was astonished
to receive letter from the Empress
Frederick of Germany, stating that she
would like to purchase the picture, as
the tuhe of Monmouth was one of her
ancestors, aud she would be pleased to
receive an intimation at what price the
lady held it. Then the Brookline lady
sent to the empress response which
must have astonished her as much as
the Brookline lady had been herself as
tonished. She felt very much honored,
she said; but she had found the posses
sion of the picture pleasing thing. and
she wished to keep ii; consequently
she was constrained To decline the offer
to purchase it; and, moreover she, too,
had personal interest in the portrait,
for she was herself a descendant of the
Stuaris. The point OF this joke lax in
the fact that the oroohline lady IS the
granddaughter OF Il worthy Boston
merchant by the name of Stewart.

Gander Against Bear.

An Alameda saloodkeeper has a black
bear cub about foot and a half hiob
when he stands on his hind legs and
reaches for strangers coat-tails. He
is full OF mischief or fight as occasion
may require, but withal very discreet.
He knows he is not big enough to whip
the grocer's dog, but he doesn't hesitate
to intimidate the candy mans cat.
When any strange animal comes in
sight he stands on his legs, pricks up
his ears and eyes it critically. If after
sizing it up he thinks he can polish it
off in good shape, he lowers his ears.
smacks his chops, shows his teeth and
paws the air to make as formidable an
appearance as possible and slowly adj
yances. Ii he decides, on the contrary,
that he is giving any weight, he breaks
for the house, crawls under and snarls.
Yesterday a big gander marched
gravely up the street. The bear sized
him up and said to himself:
He's my meat"
He advanced on the eander. who
marched slowly and steadily on till the
growing. cub barred his way Then
he extended his wings, stretched out his
neck and tried to make the cub ashamed
OF himself. The bear made two or
three vicious but Intellectual cuffs at the
gander and then stopped to see what
he Lad accomplished. Just at that
Juncture the gander took firm hold
on the cubs ear and commenced pound
ing him over the head with his wings.
The cub was a gutter and started to
beat precipitous retreat but the gan
der wouldn't let him. He just hung ON
and thumped away When the dust
and feathers settled, the gander was
trying to find the tender portion of
what appeared to be piece of the

PHOTOGRAPHIC NEBULE.
Discoveries Made by the Camera in the
Course of Recent Years

Great surprise was expressed nine
years ago when the Henry brothers, OF
Paris, discovered by photography a
strange nebulous spiral apparently at
tached to the star Maia. one of the
Pleiades. The nebula seemed to start
from the star. and bending round
through a quarter of circle, in a sweep
of hundreds of millions of miles. finally
became forked at the end like the tail OF
a comet.
Issuing out of one side of this great
spiral sprang nondescript mass, part
of which swept backward parallel with
the original spiral in such 4 way as to
give to the whole object the appearance
of eddying round the star.
Two or three years later the same as
tronomers made a photograph which
showed that the entire group of the
Pieiades, or Seven Stars, is mingled
with fantastic nebulous shapes. In
this photograph several stars appear
strung, like beads, upon a nebulous line
or ribbon that must be many thousands
of miles in length. The conclusion was
irresistible that an intimate connection
existed between the stars and the neb-
ula which together constitute the
Pleiades.
Since then a similar condition of
things has been shown to prevail in
other quarters of the heavens. One OF
the latest discoveries of this kind was
made by Professor Barnard at the Lick
Observatory last Autumn.
Upon photographing what appears to
the naked eye as hazy speck near the
wonderful red variable star Mu in the
constellation Cepheus, he obtained a
picture showing a huge nebula surround
ing an irregular group of bright stars,
and "distantly surrounded by vast null
titudes of small stars" The nebula, ac-
cording to the description of its dis
coverer, seems to mingle indefinitely
with masses of smaller stars and become
part of them"
Photographs have also shown that the
double star Lambda, in Orion, is in
yolved in nebulous matter, and that a
nebula is attached to the brilliant
Betelgeuze, the leader of the same con-
stellatiOn.
These facts become very interesting
when one considers that the nebule are
SOIiipOStti VI llsilltI III al t!iI-
formed or unorganized condition, and
that the sun, the stars and the earth it
self were once in that state.
When we see a star, or group oil
stars, closely associated with nebulous
spirals and streamers, it looks as though
the stars were consuming, or feeding
upon, the nebule, or, in other words, as
if the process of SUMMARIZING were, in
such cases, not yet completed.
Yet it is possible that our own solal
orb, which. for our purposes at least,
seems to be completed sun, would, il
photographed from a far point i'll space,
appear as a nebulous star. From sucl
point of view, if they were visible al
ALL the Zodacal Light, the Gegenschein,
and other glowing appearances that are
apparently connected with the sun,
would perhaps be blended into great
system of luminous rings of spirals as
wonderful i'll form as those attached tc
the Pleiades, though far less imposing
in extent. j Youths Companion.
