Complaints. No delay, no disappoint-

This is the season of the year
when the crops of enormous for
tunes left to poor Americans by fab
ulously rich relatives in the old
country is usually harvested. Judg-
ing by the absurd stories going the
rounds, the yield of 1895 will be
particularly good. The one discour-
aging feature of these yarns, how
ever, is that no one ever gets hold
of the mythical millions, and the
only person who makes a few doll
ars out of the affair is the lawyer,
and he gets his money invariably in
advance from the deluded claimant,
whose only enjoyment of his expec-
ted wealth is experienced in the
misty values of dreamland.

NOTORIOUS FRED GRAFTON.

Fred Grafton, who won distinction
and term in the state penitentiary
for the killing of Mabel Swartz in Des
Moines, four years ago, is again in
trouble. The authorities have him in
jail at Council Bluffs for robbing a
travelling man of his diamonds.
Crafton's record is we'll known to the
people of Des Moines and Sioux City.
He halls from Atlantic where he has a
faithful little wife. But he does not
like quiet life and so four years ago
took up with Mabel Swartz, the daugh'
ter of ex-Mayor Swartz of Sioux City,
and took her with him through the
country as his wife. While in Des
Moines the two were close friends of
Lou Foley, Ida Jamison and Jim KAY
anagh, and while in their company
Grafton one night demonstrated his
ability as a hourisher of a big As calibre
revolver. 1t was discharged and the
bullet entered the Swartz girls body
and death soon resulted. Grafton
claimed that it was an accident but he
was convicted after long trial before
Judge c. Holmes, District Attorney w.
A. Spurrier conducting the prosecution,
and sent to the penitentiary. All
through the trials his wife supported
him, and when the supreme court re-
versed the case she went to the peni-
Tertiary and escorted him home. But
he has not reformed according to re-
port. Chief of Detectives George Nc
Mutt received picture of Grafton
yesterday as taken by the Council
Bluffs police. 1t shows that Grafton
has been dissipating to great extent
and that his good resolves made when
ne was released have fallen by the
wayside.-Ledder.

desire to excel ones fellows" which is nothing
but emulation.
If by emulation we mean a comparison OF
ones self by ones settle, comparison OF our
present ability with that of our ideal, with a
desire to surpass ones own ability, we willingly
submit that "Of all the principles OF action
which make scholars studious and classes
orderly, there is none more powerful than emu
latlon."
But If we understand by emulation desire to
surpass ones fellows no matter whether it be
by our advancement or their fall, think it best
not to stimulate this spirit of self-love by re-
wards for as Compare says: "Rewards are
the best means of verifying the spirit of emula-
tion."
The best of rewards, says a writer, "are those
which Invested of material value call into play
the delicate sentiments without exciting any
idea of personal interest" and this, it will be
seen, comes very flttingly uuder the third (3)
motive, for further on he says: "Of such are
the words OF appreciation and commentator OF
the teacher"
However effective the words of praise and the
smile of approval they should be used only when
they will awaken in the pupil the consciousness
of duty done.
The willingness to study because of the COM
prehenSion of ones duty to himself, to his fell
lows and to his God is the most important, for
it is the one that Will bring about the best re-
suits through life.
Our school days are only course preparatory
to the great school of life, hence motives which
stimulate to eXertiOnS only for the time being
are not worthy place in the school room.

WHAT WILL HELP THEM.

TIE labor commissioner of South
Dakota recently sent out blanks to
many farmers of that state asking for
on conditions concerning their con-
dition and prosperity. TO the question,
"What in your opinion would better
the condition of the farmers and labor
ing men?" among many answers the
following very pertinent replies were
received:
A sudden change of administration
with high protection for American in
dustries.
The only thing that | know of is to
quit going in debt, raise less grain and
more stOck-either cattle, sheep or
hogs.
x high protective tariff would bene-
fit the farmers-and Mckinley for
president would help the wage Garner.
/ think it would be better for us
farmers to raise more fodder crops and
keep more COWS.
If the merchants would reduce their
prices il would better the condition of
The farmers good deal, and a republi-
can administration with Mckinley at
its head.
believe if the farmers of South Da-
kota would stop raising so much
wheat and raise more stock and make
farming more diversified, they would
do better. l also believe the free coin
age of the American product of silver
would be great benefit. l think that
a change in our commerciallaws would
make business more stable and per.
manent. Depression in business
affects the farmer as well as the bust
ness man.
l think if the farmers would organize
in farm clubs to sell their products
and by implements from first hands
and keep their organization out OF
politics and learn their boys to shun
the saloons their condition would soon
be improved.
/ think if farmers would attend to
their work little closer and not sleeI
so much they would do better.

doing better farming and live within
my means until out of debt.

Artesian wells and better govern

think the tariff, as Mckinley lefti

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
ID. p. EEPASS.

Teachers meeting in Brayton next
Saturday, February I'd. A good time
is expected.
A teachers convention will be held
in Atlantic February 9Th and 9th, for
the teachers Of Audubon and Cass
counties. A good attendance is de-
sired. All teachers attending will be
entertained free. If you intend going
write to city Supt. Lamson, Atlantic.
No. 8 Sharon township has seventy
four pupils. The school house has on.
ly seating capacity for about thirty five;
something should be done to relieve
both teacher and pupils.
E. A. Armstrong, teacher at No. 2
Hamlin, has learned the secret of teach
ing his pupils to recognize words readi-
ly at sight, an accomplishment pos
sessed by only a few.
The district paying the best salaries
to teachers may have the best teachers.
They do not always get them, but the
fault is with the sub director. The
poor teachers will apply for the schools
where they pay the best salaries, just
as well as the good ones. They often
get their application in first, and if the
director employs the first one making
application, the chances arc strongly
in favor of his getting poor teacher.
Keep salaries up, and then insist on
having a good teacher whether he be
the first or last to apply, will be a good
motto for directors this year.
We hope for a good attendance at
the meeting in Gray the 10th. See pro-
gram elsewhere.
Miss Jessie NJ. Shaw, formerly a
teacher of this county, is teaching i'll
the graded schools in Dover, Oklahoma,
and meeting with merited success.
Teachers will receive blanks in time
to report at the close of the term. Two
blanks for report to secretary will be
mailed to each teacher, fill out both,
and file one with the secretary and one
with the county superintendent.
Are you preparing work for the fair ?
We would like to see every school in
the county represented at the next
fair.
The institute this year will begin
August 18th, and continue two weeks.
The Review School will begin June "a,
and continue seven weeks lacking two
days. We will dismiss for the Fourth
of July and the day following. Terms
will be the same as last year. Five
dollars for the full term Orninety cents
per week.

GREELEY ITEMS.

We are having great trouble with
our water supply.
Prof. Wilcutt is teaching school at
North Branch and having good liter
airy society every Wednesday evening.
We see The enlargement of the Jour-
nal with pride in Audubon county
journalism, but when the news gatherer
announced that Mr.. and Mrs. s. M,
Gardner buried their ten mOntIS old
baby, it was wonderful mistake
We see lots of enterprise in William
Hensey in feeding and buying stock
these dull times.
T. F. Musson drove forty head of
1900 pound steers over the road last
week.
Frank Herndon moves to his new
100 acre farm next week, three miles
east of Audubon. He traded his SO
acre farm in Greeley to Mr. Kyle pay
ing $4,000 difference. In losing Frank
we lose a good neighbor and good re-
publican, but we are glad he is still in
Audubon county.
Now is the time for us to build an
ice house and put up ice.

THE OCHELTREE CASE.

The supreme court gave the follow
ing decision in the Ocheltree case
Wednesday:
C.M. Ocheltree appellant VS.. Chicago
& North Western Railway Company.
From Audubon District Court; A. B.
Thornell, judge. Affirmed; opinion by
Justice Kline.
Plaintiffs wife was injured by being
thrown from a buggy, the horses hay
ing been frightened by a railway train.
She was driving along side the track,
when she saw the train coming and
whipped up the horses. The engineer
thought she was going to race for the
crossing and he Whistled for brake S
But she was hurrying to reach a gate
near the crossing, so that she could
drive into an open field and escape
from the danger of having her horses
| frightened. She reached the gate anC
drove into the field before the train ar
rived at the crossing. The engineer
seeing the danger passed, whistle(
twice, the signal for "off brakes" ant
this is what frightened the team 81
that it ran away. The plaintiffs CLAIM
| is that the defendant was neg
ligent and responsible for the acciden
| because the whistle was blown within
hearing of the horses; that the enginee
should have exercised more care ant
should never blow his whistle when h
had reason to know that horses wer
within hearing to be frightened. Tn
court hold that there is nothing in thi
claim, and that it would be unjust an
unreasonable to establish such a rul
of law against railway companies, an
would interfere with the operation Q
trains in many places.

dDle anu ny introducing
one part at time renders it easy to
introduce and place OH pig.
3. Can 60 any depth in reach of for
ceps in perfect safety to sow and bring
forth live pigs, when they are alive.
4 number of these instruments were
sold and used last year giving perfect
satisfaction, which numerous testimOn-
ials signed by prominent farmers of
Audubon and Shelby counties will
show. The Fiscus instrument was
thoroughly tested by the inventor in
his own herd and in the herds of his
neighbors before being offered for sale.
And the great success of the instru-
ment at home where Mr.. Fiscus is best
known is one of the strong proofs of
it's value. 1t is one of the boasts of
the inventor, that while every instru-
ment sold last year was fully warrant
ed not single one was returned.
Little need be said of the reliability
of Adam Fiscus. He is an old resident
of Audubon County and is know as
one of the cOunty's most reliable farm
ers. His claims for his pig forceps are
made in the same Openness and good
| faith that has marked all his dealings,
and his reputation for doing as he
agrees to do will be vOuched for by any
business man with whom he has had
dealings.

possible and mix farming and keep a
good grade of stock.
In my opinion, II farmers could
grow more stock, keep cows, and make
butter, in place of extensive grain
farming, they would improve their
conditions.
Abond absolute wheat raising, di-
versify the thing, and aim at a high
grade of all kinds of stock. Particular
ly quit scrub horses. Wheat and poor
horses are about the ouly stuff unre-
munerative at the present time.

IT begins to look as though every
county in Iowa would have at least
one candidate for governor before the
republican state convention, while
some counties will be supplied with
two or three aspirants for Frank Jack
sons mantle. That convention will be
worth attending, just to see the jockey
ing of the wire pullers and politicians
for the inside place in the race.
