Residents of Pratt County Say the Present
System Is Bankrupting The9
PRATT May 11.-Farmers in this
county have been talking about the ad-
visibility of building poor house on
the county farm and most of those who
have been considering the subject are
strongly advocating such a move.
They claim that at the present rate the
pauper bills will soon bankrupt the
county, and it is fact which is becoming
more and more apparent at each session
of the board of county commissioners
that the funds of the county treasury
will be exhausted before next spring un-
less halt is called and that speedily
Taxes are already so hign that they
are becoming burdensome, and if county
warrants should get back to the point
where they would have to be discounted
we would again be left to the mercy of
the sharks.
Reports would indicate great extrava-
gance. Persons receiving aid from the
county are furnished with clothing and
underwear which the family of the mer-
chant who sells the goods cannot afford
to wear.
The matter of poor house will be
brought to the attention of the people to
be acted on.

The Latest In snobberr.

A correspondent in London con-
temporary has described piece of
mingled snobbery and tyranny in hotel
management which would be hard to
beat, and which deserves something
more than passing condemnation. We
only regret that he omits to publish
the name of the well known West
End hotel where the outrage was
committed. The story is-a simple one.
The daughter of the correspondent in
question is a nurse in hospital near
the West End hotel where her father
was stayingi and went to breakfast
with her father in the public room OF
the hotel dressed in her uniform. He
received an intimation from the man-
ager that nurses in uniform could not
be admitted as guests at-the hotel. !"
Ultimately a compromise was arrived
at. The nurse, on removing her cloak,
bonnet and apron, was finally suffered
to breakfast with her father, but the
expense of most disgraceful insult
to the uniform that she wore. The
correspondent wishes to know whether
the nurses uniform is to ''fall into
the same unjust contempt as that of
the soldier, The answer is, Eyes,

the service of the Queen and the garb
Of charity come under the ban of the

.sThen,, and ..NoEv.

The point to be made. the point
which the shrewder Republican journ-
ais have made, is not that times are
not better than they we're. but that
they are not nearly so good as they
were before the election of Cleveland
and the Wilson Congress. That is
the standard by which the influence of
politics on present business conditions
is TO be judged. and is one which COM
mends itself to thinking men, Apply
ing that test and where does the De-
mocracy come out? More mills are in
operation now than a year and a half
ago, but not SO many are working as
in 1S9O-91-92. There have been ad-
vances in wages. but wages are still
below the figures of that time. Fewer
hands are. despite the increases, still
employed. Is not that enough to con-
denim the party in power?
1t is only necessary to tell the truth
concerning the changes of the last two
and one-half years in order to estab-
lish all that republicans contend for.
The facts are known to the people,, and
it only weakens the legitimate and for
chile arguments which are at Repub-
lican handsto exaggerate the situation.

A FIND in an ola Book.

1t is told of Xavier Mariner that he
one day discovered 1000 france note
between the leaves of book which he
had picked up for few sous at a
street stall. A similar, but much more
marvellous adventure, has Happened
to a young doctor in Turin. While
turning over the leaves of book
which had been bequeathed along with
others to the Medical Faculty of Turin
by a certain DR. Giordiani he was as
tonished to find between the pages no
less than forty bank notes, amounting
to the handsome sum OF 10000 lire.
This incident will no doubt give rise
to a most interesting case in the Turin
courts. Although DR.. Giordani Jun
doubtedly bequeathed his books to
the library of the faculty, his other
heirs will hardly be disposed I'd ad-
mil that he intended to leave it his
monetary savings as well. Possibly,
however, the Library Trustees are
quite prepared to prove that the de-
ceased doctor was in the habit of utii-
izing his I00O-iire bank notes as book
markers. Westminster Gazette

Metnoas Of Freneh Bu.ehers.

Butchers meat lin France) is pre-
pared, divided and arranged in the
shops in such a manner that it never
suggests slaughter. It is rare thing
for one to see a stain on counter,
bench or floor. The mode Of killing
the animals probably has something
to do with this freedom from moisture
and dripping. The animals are not
bled before being killed, as might be
inferred from the absence of moisture,
but they are killed in such a manner
that veins and arteries are emptied
quickly and thoroughly. After this
the animal is bonffee, that is, filed
with wind. The large arteries are
pressed open and points OF large bel
lows are inserted into them. While
the bellows are being worked man
beats all parts of the carcass with q
fat stick. This is to distribute the
air in all parts of the flesh. All this
work is done very rapidly. The in
tiating of the animal in this manner
gives fuller and frner appearance
to the meat, and, | fancy, empties the
veins and arteries more effectually
than they would otherwise be. The
French use very little ice, and meats
are kept only a few days at the most.
The best of beef in France does not
compare with American beef. but the
veal is superior to anything we have.
1t is valued more highly than any

pared that she has but little TO do 10
