man in business? Why cannot this
illustration be likened to the condition
OF the United States today? This coun-
try has the option to pay its debts and
obligations in either gold or silver coin.
Spectators, for mercenary ends, are
making raid on the treasury for gold
which they are exporting to foreign
countries to enable them to maintain
the gold standard, out OF which they
make considerable profit. They cannot
obtain gold from any other source ex-
cept this country, because Germany,
Great Britain, and France protect their
gold by carrying out the law in favor OF
the people. If speculators or exporters
of gold, call on those countries for gold
for export, they pay them in silver, and
they are not considered dishonest III
doing so. The credit and honor OF the
United States have been impugned and
called in question by these money lend
ers, because it was intimated that the
government would pay its obligations in
the money OF the contract, in the money
it agreed to pay; Now, it is useless and
unnecessary, as well as disastrous, to 60
in debt when we have the right to pay
in silver, of which we have sufficient to
meet all our obligations. Ii the law is
executed in favor OF the people by pay
ing out silver instead of borrowing gold,
these spectators who have been living
ON the distress OF the people for the past
twenty years, will see to it that the sill
yer dollar they receive from this govern
ment is as good as every other dollar in
the markets of the world. These mer
have. robbed the government of its SOW.
ereign right OF saying which is II good
dollar and which is q bad dollar. As
long rs they have II corner on gold anc
are able to compel this government tc
issue gold bonds which afford them gilt
edged securities, they have us by the
throat and will hold us in that indefen'
sible position until the feudal system
now prevalent in India and Egypt
brought about by the gold standard, il
inaugurated in this country.
1t is absolutely impossible to contrac

Reparation to Bannocks Desired

WASHINGTON, Sept. Doom

the Secretary of the Interior. 1t
shows progress in nearly all direc-
tions. The only new important
developments during the year is
the trouble between the Bannock
Indians and the whites, at Jack
sons Hole, Wyoming. Commits
sioner Browning quotes from re-
cent report of Agent Teter to show
the Indians are still sullen and
they demand that the whites who
wronged them shall be punished
and the commissioner asks whether
or not the department of justice
cannot do something toward pun

CONCENTRATED FooDs.

These can be used to balance
rations of hay, fodder, straw or en-
silage, and a study of the proper
tons of foods will greatly aid in
judicious feeding. 1t is claimed
that pound of cotton seed meal is
equal to 10 pounds of hay. There
is also balancing in quantity, as
the concentrated foods, such as
bran, middlings, linseed and cotton
seed meal provide mineral matter
which may be deficient in Other
foods. The grains are deficient in
lime, but abound in fat and starch
linseed meal being used to balance
them.

A Husbands wild Shooting.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. Pa
special to the Star from Horton
Kan, says: Morgan Heaton made
a desperate attempt this morning
to kill j. NJ. Craig, a Plattsmouth,
Neb., banker, and failing, turned
his revolver on Cashier Shoemaker,
of the Horton State bank. The
bullet directed at the latter also
went wide OF its mark and Heaton
was finally arrested. Craig was one
of the defendants in a case recently
brought by Heaton's wife, and
which was decided against Heaton,
and the feeling between the two
men was bitter. Great excitement
prevails over the matter.

Hoes, AND CREAMERIEs.

Patrons of creameries should
not omit hogs as mediums for con-
verting the waste products of the
butter factories into something
that brings good prices. The
profit derived by those who pat.
ronize the creameries is largely
that which they bring home with
them at the time of delivering the
milk, and the hog is, therefore, as
useful as the COW in neighborhoods
where the milk is delivered direct
to the factories.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Corn FODDER

NONN IUDDEK.
The fact that corn fodder is not
equal to hay does not lessen the
value of the fodder. Fodder and
ensilage are the cheapest foods that
are produced on the farm, and
they can be so utilized as to econ.
omise in the use of hay. Every
pound of fodder harvested can be
made to do service in permitting
the farmer to keep more stock, and
thereby increase his profits, as we'll
as enrich the soil by the greater
production of manure.

The Reason Some Girls Become

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The most of our girls of nova
days are high toned, fashionable
young danes, always flirting and
fitting around, gossiping about this
young vassal or that young feud,
fondly cherishing the ecstacy of the
day when, as they hope, there will be
a union which cannot be surpassed
by all the pulchritudes and dulces OF
life. These play-the-fool hopes they
generally retain until they are alarmed
by the appearance Of wrinkles in
their faces. Then they begin to mur-
mur at themselves because they have
let some of their former chances slip.
On little later they will begin to ex-
claim to themselves, 90, horrors. l

home cheerfully expecting some royal
or noble to come along with a large
corps of servants and pick them up

"Ah, much obliged" said the edi
tor" I will give you a check for it
at once"
"You are very kind" said the edi-
tor handing him the check.
"Many thanks!'' exclaimed the
young man, I will bring you some
other poems"
When he got near the door he sud-
denly poused; then he came back.
Excuse me" he said, but you for
got to fill up the check. You have
not written the date nor the amount,
nor have you signed your name"
"O," said the editor, "that is all
right. You see I have given you a
check in its rough state, as it were.
You can make such corrections as you
think necessary.

Politepsss.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the EdltOr OF tne DlSpatcn:
How are we to become polite?
First, we are always to act in that
direction and it, as it were, will come
to US as a gift. The greatest mum
Der of persons in our broad land
who are polite, learn this from their
dear old mother, who, my many
readers can or will dispute this?
George Washington, one of the
greatest men our country has ever
produced, was a very polite man,
knowing his duties, he was Away po-
lite in them. He, from his cradle up,
was noted to be truthful man.
How grand it is for US all to truth
full and polite! Politeness makes
many a man a great one. Columbus
from his boyhood was noted fine
man and this came from his being
polite. Look how polite he was when
Queen Elizabeth fitted out for him
three small vessels. He was de-
lighted at this and strove to cross
the broad ocean. He is, and should
forever be, honored for this. Colum-
bus was always polite at home and
at other places. Can our people
learn this and forever obey. Our
greatest statesmen are and have al
ways been striving to be polite. To
be polite is the best education any
man would need for travelling. Any
one impolite will never reach far
distance, even if he has money. Am
I right? Always be polite are our
last words. J. S. c.

An Jnsavory Question.

A question that has long divided
households making common scoids
of the meekest wives and driving
husbands to strong drink, is now
agitating the town OF Pecatonlca.
1t seems that some Of the children
of this hamlet have passion for the
aromatic onion, while the school
ma'am and few of the more of the
effete youngsters hold tie scented
vegetable in high disdain. The
teacher requested that no scholar
should breakfast on onions before
attending school. With perverse-
ness characteristic Of the onion eater,
every, child with the slightest pen
chant for the forbidden weed par
took freely of it. The teacher retail
ated by using the rod, and now
the parents are up in arms and de-
clar that it is rankest tyranny to at
tempt to wrest the prerogative Of
onion eating from their offspring.
1t is to be hoped that this argu-
ment will get into the courts and
that we may have decision of the
supreme court on the question. The
onion has already shortened too
many honeymoons and been the
cause of too many arrangements.
Let US know once for all whether the
eating Of onions is natural and in-
alienable right or a breach of the
peace. Then matrimony will be less
| of a lottery.

and place them in a fine chariot, and
bear them away to some distant
cline, where they will be set up N a
palace of pure gold, and loved to the
fullest extent by their lordly princes.
But, when they look around and see
that all their supposed chances are
gone, they begin to stir! You will
see them at every gathering, walking
from place to place, looking and look
ing, seeking chances to meet some
young man, and doing everything
they can to win some mans love
After they have done all they can,
and all have the appearance of fail
ure, they will give up and become
thenceforward and forever inwrapped
in vapid soliliques.
These things cause their hearts 10
ache; but, alas it's too late now. The
name "Old Maid is stamped so
deeply that it is impossible to hide
it.
When old maids get into this de-
lirious state, they become prude, and
can be seen, as it were, walking
about like giraffes among ether ami
mails. High do they hold the heads:
but not with the same spirit of for
mer days but with the hope of see
ing. keenly do they peer at you,
but not with an eye of scorn but
with the hope Of catching your eye
so that they may give you heaving
angelic smile, overfowing with that
dulciloquey which characterizes al.
most all that come under the aver
sive and timorous name.
Girls say that they can't see why
a man should become an old bache-
lor. Well, there is no great reason
for it; but the reason a girl becomes
and old maid is because of her fool
ish firtations and filial expectations.
It's awful when man wants to 90
to see a girl and she won't let him,
but it is still worse when an old maid
wants fellow to Woo her and he
won't do anything but stand around
and jest. How despondent they feel
when they see that all hopes have
vanished. They think, IF only I
were an old bachelor" for then I
would have at least the chance to
vote and hold office and do thous-
and other things that I cannot do in
my presel t state. IHR VETTER.

Why the Buffalo had to Go. I

General Nelson A. Miles, in writ
ing about the wholesale killing Of
buffalo, says: After the hides were,
removed the carcass would be pois-
oned in many cases, some yearling
buffalo being generally selected, and
next morning there might be found
40 or so dead wolves lying scattered
around, victims of the strychnine.
In this way the large game was rap
idly destroyed. together with count
less numbers of wolves that had
thrived only by preying upon them.
This might seem like cruelty and
wasteful extravaganza, but the
buffalo, like the Indian, stood in the
way of civilization and the path of
progress, and the decree had gone
forth that they must give way. It
was impossible to herd domestic
stock in country where they were
they were constantly liable to be
stamped by the moving herds of
wild animals. The same territory
which a quarter of a century ago
vas supporting those vast herds Of
wild game is now sustaining millions
of domestic animals which afford the
food supply to hundreds Of millions
of people in civilized countries"

How They Differ.

Minnie J. Conrad, in Lppincott's.
4 man is creature of cast iron
habits: woman adapts herself to cir
cumstances; this is the foundation of
the moral difference between them.
A man does not attempt to drive a
nail unless he has a hammer; a wo-
man does not hesitate to utilize any
thing, from the heel of boot to the
back of a brush.
A man considers corkscrew abso-
lutely necessary to open a bottle; a
woman attempts to extract the cork
with the SCISSORS; if she does not sue
ceed readily, she pushes the cork in
the bottle, as the essential thing is
to get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which a
man puts a razor; woman employs
it for chiropodist's purposes.
When a man writes, everything
must be in apple pie order; pen, pa
per and ink must be just, profound
silence must reign while he accom-
plishes this important function; wo-
man gets any sheet of paper, tears
it perhaps from book or portfolio,
sharpens pencil with scissors, puts
the paper on an old atlas, crosses
her feet, balances herself on the chair
and confdes her thoughts to paper,
changing from pencil to pen and vice
versa from time to time, nor does
she care if the children romp or the
cook comes to speak to her.
|, A man storms if the blotting pa
per is not conveniently near; the wo-
man dries the ink by blowing on it,
waving the paper in the air, or hold,
ing it near lamp or fire.
A man drops letter in the box
unhesitatingly; woman reads the
address, assures herself that the en-
velop is sealed, the stamp secure and
then throws it violently into the box.
A man can cut box only with a
paper cutter; woman deftly inserts
a hair pin, and the book is cut.
For a man "good by" signifies the
end of a conversation and the mo-
ment of his departure; for the wo.
man it is the beginning OF a new
chapter, for it is just when they are
taking leave of each other that the
women think of the most important
topics of conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain try
ing to mend broken object; a man
puts it aside and forgets that for
which there is no remedy. Which is
the superior?

Weighty Bricks.

The frequency Of successful train rob-
bing has changed the system of casting
bricks long in vogue at mining assay
Offices throughout the west, and the gov
ernment will soon follow the example
set.
Speaking of the matter, Colonel John
Orolett, formerly mayor at Silver Bow,
but now of Butte, Mon, said:
assay offices at Helena are now re-
ceiving large amounts Of gold from the
mort hern mines, and it nearly all comes
in big bricks a foot long, 6 inches wide
and inches deep. I recently saw bar
that weighed nearly $50 pounds, being
worth, at $50 per ounce, over $50, 600.
The bullion isnow cast that way to pre-
vent loss iii train robberies. 1twould be
almost impossible for road agents to
hide or suddenly carry away such gl-
ant bar as that. San Francisco Chron-

Strange Condolences.
Some Instances of the Efficacy of
Obeying Queer Orders.

The London Spectator lately had
a clever article entitled THE Tyranny
of Coincidence The example shown
is of lady who was driving outside
of Athens. When the horses were
halted one of the team refused his
oats. The Greek coachman insisted
that the horse was under a spell.
The young English lady had an ''eyil
eye" The man told Miss Symonds
to spit-that was the only cure. The
young woman was forced to so
through the unlady like performance,
and at once the horse took to his
feed. "The coincidence rivited tie
chains Of superstition upon the driver
tighter than ever" Many coindences
of a similar character must occur to
the reader. Here is a case: A child
was told to put tour-leaf clover in
his left shoe, and was assured that
he would be sure to find something.%
The little boy did so, and had hardly
moved out of his tracks in a large
grass grown pasture before he found
an old half-dollar of an ancient date,
evidently lost years before. The
child was not superstitious, and for
tunately the parents were not. The
matter of coincidence was explained
to him, and among other things be
was plentifully supplied with four
leaf clovers, but he never found any
thing. The origin of superstition as
sociated with amulets or any material
objects must owe its being to just
such condolences. Among those
who are lot educated it may be that
the tyranny Of coincidence does exist,
but it should not hold with those
having sound minds. We ali have,
however, dark chamber in our
brains, and it is there that the owls
and bats of superstition flap their
wings.
