A strange man about sixty was
picked up sunday by the Salem police
and today, committed 10 tho insane

He carried blanket and a bundle

In the city jail he undressed himself

or hear, and acted deafmute perfectly.
He carried care saying he could
write Irish, aud was discharged from
Pittsburg ass lum.

rEOH tue <aOfocdec'
The whooping- cough is in town.
D. Hall has about adj arrangements
completed for moving to Great Bend.
Mrs. Lischesky who has been visiting
with her daughter, Mrs. Smith, of King
man, since Chritmas, returned to her
home in this city again last Thursday.
Miss Hannah Flohr, who has been in
the city for week, left for her
home at KiRsley Monday, and
Immediately thereafter the mail
contained an extra epistle each day.
Mrs. Frank Petz is on the sick list
this week, likewise Mrs. Henry Stimel,
both having an attack of the grip which
is just now quite prevalent in the city
and vicinity.
Mr.. Theo. Wins and wife, both
former residents of this city, but now of
Norman, O. T., where he is running a
tailor shop, came in Saturday evening
to spend week in the city visiting old
friends and acquaintance.
Mrs. Jacob Bolin, of south of the
river, fell on some ice which'had formed
near the door where water had been
thrown, and sustained very severe inju-
ries, the worst of which is a broken
hip. This injury is of itself very seri-
Gus, but the age of the patient in this
case makes 1t doubly SO.
Mr.. Fred Metz, one of the prominent
farmers of the south side, had the mis-
fortune to figure in a runaway last Fri
day evening in which he was thrown
violently to the ground and picked up
limp and apparently lifeless, from which
condition it took some time to restore
him. He has broken bones in the
shoulders and other severe injuries
from which it will take him long time
to recover as he is now a man consid-
erably past middle life.

NUMBER Al
A VALENTINE.

Accept, dear wife, this little token,
And, If between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken
The love I'll always love to speak.
Our little ones are making merry
With uneo' iitties Thymed IN Jest,
But in these lines, though awkward very.
The genuine articles expressed
You are SO fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when callow youth, and sender.
ask to be your valentine.
What though these years of ours be fieeting.
What though these years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Kronos with repeating
''I love my love and her alonel"
And when fall before his reaping,
And when my suffering speech is done,
Think not my love is dead sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.
So take dear love, this little token:
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'll fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your valentine?

Jacob Shafer, of north Albion, was
caller Tuesday and squared Up with the
home paper. Although Mr.. Shafer
says he feels the hard times yet he can
not say that he is retrograding in
financial way and he told US the secret
of his success. He does not depend on
wheat alone but believes in mixed farm
ing and better still puts great deal of
dependence in the cow and chicken.
Mr.. Shafer has milked seven COWS and
kept about rs chickens the past year,
and besides keeping his family, consist
ing of seven persons, in butter, milk.
eggs and poultry has sold S237 worth of
produce, and the year is not quite up
yet from the time he commenced to
keep account. So it is plain to be seen
that the farmer who mixes his farming
a little and keeps few cows and chick
ems comes out best in the long run.

Joe AdY's Speech.

AT the LeavenwOrth banquet j. ".
Ady, the distinguished Newton states
man, INDUCED in the following remarks
on national affairs. 1t is said that the
audience showed unmistakable signs of
approval, but whether they approved
his roast Of the administration or his
silver sentiments it is hard to tell:
Every man knows that if the silver
dollar, which is by law and by the con-
tract legal tender for treasury notes.
was actually rendered to the aliens and
traitors who are looting our treasury of
gold to ship TO Europe, not a dollar of
bonds would be needed or thought of.

campaign in which the republican party
in every northwestern state in some
manner pledged itself to bimetalism.

erWise. The hour of the trial of our
faith is at hand, for here is a cold
bloOded proposition to chain the Amer
lean republic, like Prometheus to the
rock, to the gold standard for fifty
years to come.
1.-The dispatches say that Britain is
we'll pleased with this singular propo-
sition Of our executive. Of couse she
is. They also assure us that she will
take all the gold bonds we will issue.
OF course she will. These bonds are

principal and interest, in gold in the
hands Of the inveterate enemy of sill
yer as the center piece in our financial
system, what hope is there for bimet-
alism on any terms?
OF course there is the alleged men,
ace to the public credit if we pay our
debts with the money in which the con-
tract says they may be ,paid. but there
is also the menace of a long suffering
people tq the life of that party who
dares, without right or reason, to mort
gage the souls of our people and of
their children to the gold monopoly of
England, and there IS the pledge of the
platform to deliver the peo-
pie from bondage.
If we are to depend upon republican
pledges, Mr.. Ady may as well have
wasted his eIoquence on the desert air.
But 1t is something to know that Kan
sas republicans are in favor of the re-
monetiZation of silver. Perhaps they
will vote that way at the polls

Geo. T. Anthony, the rampant gold
bug end chronic holder who has
held Office almost all his life, as state

the rank and file of the party. but it
proves that our governor is so persist
ent a gold-standard man that he is

come his way by giving all the good

deserving or not. The public is slowly

OLMIrz OBSERVATIONS.

From ''Sulton Bros"
c. Weitz left for Kansas City, Mon
day, to attend the Mo. P. hospital.
Geo. True says he wishes it would
quit showing, SO he could go east again
on his wheel.
Wonder whether Alfred Mayer froze
his ears the time he went after that girl
that lives northwest of here?
Hold up! Feb. 9th, so the story
goes, when No. 2o2 arrived at Olmitz
in the morning. w. D. Vincent, sta
ton agent, was in the depot. Just as
the train pulled in, four burglars got on
board, two in the coach and two in the
express car, with masks on; one fellow
held gun on the express messenger
while the other was trying to break into
the safe. Vincent raised his gun and
shot the BURGLAR at the safe, and then
drew bead on the other fellow. Then
one of the men got out of the coach and
shot Vincent in the hip. The express
messenger ran to the rear end of his
car to get his winchester to shoot the
burgular who shot Vincent, but the gun
exploded ard shot poor Vincent In the
face, and then Mr.. Vincent heard
bell, and the bell was on his alarm
clock, and he awoke and found himself
in bed with his wife, and No. 2o2 nearly
due.

ALL PARTIES agree that the demon

DO NOT place any hopes upon re-
vival of what rs understood as "boom
times" in Kansas. The eastern money
that few years ago flooded this
country in all manner of speculation
has been lost, much of it irretrievably,
and the'men who have had their fingers
burned during that speculative period
will not soon again approach the same
fire. It is time too, for our own people
to realize that that speculative period
was a curse to both parties in the
transaction. Men borrowed money on
mortgages that they did not need and
placed themselves in debt so deep
that they today cannot get out. The
man who loaned the money does not
want the land but does wantthe money;
the man who got the money does want
the land, but has not got and cannot
get, the money to satisfy the mortgage
holder. So both are disappointed,
both are unsatisfied, and both are in
clined to hunt around for some one to
lay the blame of this condition of
affairs upon. The political demagogue
and unthinking ne'er-do- well blames it
upon the administration. The man
who is honest and unprecedented blames
only the man who loaned the money
and the man who borrowed it; the one
for putting his money into the hands of
unscrupuious loan agents. and the 9TH
er for narrowing when he had no GER
tainty of being able to pay. Do not,
we say again, look for or wish for a
return of those boom times: but pre-
pare to make the best of the opportu-
mites before you, and resolve to do
business hereafter as near as possible
on cash basis.

AT LAST President Cleveland has
recognized the fact that silver is as
good monev as gold. His act in issu-
ing the latest batch of bonds, which he
plainly states may be paid in SILVER or
gold, will be the opening wedge TO the
remonetization of silver. The sooner
our national legislators get measures
under way for the reconciliation of
silver. that much sooner will our de-
pressed financial situation be relieved.
