years ago this week: he crossed the
plains with the 18th Illinois Cavalry
from Fort Larned, Kan, to Fort
Leayenworth, Kan, then wild
country. On this eventful march
this company was overtaken by a
terrible blizzard that lasted three
days. They kept moving, however,
and pushed on from the rate of from
ten to fifteen miles per day and when
they arrived at Fort Leavenworth

One of the infexible rules of a
printing Office is that visitors must
not read copy for reading or adver-
Using matter, whether in the hands
of compositors or elsewhere. The
advertising matter is the private
property of the advertiser until it
appears in print, and the printer is
under honorable obligations to keep
it 80. The reading matter of the
newspaper is not given to the public
until the day of publication and is
not to be discounted on the streets
in advance. We publish this -infor-
mation. not because we have been
subjected to much annoyance in the
past, but to spare US the necessity of
reminding thoughtless but wellmean-'

pays our electric light plant this
compliment: Worthington has com:
pleted its electric light plant, and:
now claims to be one of the best
lighted villages in the state. The
people of that enterprising town did
the right thing in voting ample bonds
for first class plant, and the council
composed of it's best business men,
were ever alert to the interests of the
city, and today they can boast of
their splendid achievement. The
plant consists, of two engines and 8
dynamos-two incand escent. and one
arc. The price charged for arcs is
only $3.50, and for incandecents 80
cents per month";. In establishing
these prices the council was guided
by rates charged in other places.
Why do SO many teamsters load
their wagon so heavy in front! 1t
has been proven by careful test that
the team will haul the load easier if
the hind wheels are loaded more
heavily than the others. While there's
something in favor of getting the
load close to the team the difference
is not enough to overcome other OBJ /
iections. The front wheels are small
