gresham Jerry Simpson is booming ex-
Governor Lewelling of this city for the
Populist denomination for Governor next
year. Before the Populist convention at
Ell Dorado to-day he made strong speech

not a gubernatorial aspirant, and stead

entire time and energy to the building up
of his butter and egg business.
. 1t is fact, however, that he is con-
stantly receiving messages and letters

living Tie cost Of the text books is
very material item in the expense OF this
education, and therefore the people look
with favor upon legislation which tends
to reduce this item. The school book
trust has such complete control over the
manufacture and sale OF text books that
there is scarcely any competition in prices,
the practice being TO gouge the people all
they will stand, unless the price is con-
trolled by legislation, and il free text
book measure should be passed by this
legislature care should be had TO guard
against giving the trust an opportunity to
levy tribute on every school district in
the state. or to rob the whole state BY
bribing officials in high places.
In Pennsylvania the trust have been
taking advantage OF the districts, while
in this state the outraseously high prices
are attributed to the bribery OF officials.
In Pennsylvania il is estimated that over
million dollars more than necessary has
been paid on. for text books during the
past year. There is an entire absence OF
uniformity in price, the per capita cost
ranging from SIS cents in one county TO 50
IN others. Belleionte secures geometry
for IS cents which costs $3.50 in Pitts
burg and Allegheny. and for which Ne
keesport is charged $1.13. The first ward
OF Carnegie pays $3.50 for geography
which costs Oil City 81 and Pi;tsburg 96
cents. 1t pays $l.l0 cents for history
which Belleionte gets for 50 cents. \
grammar which Pittsburg gets for IS cents
costs Carnegie S. cents. The second
ward Of the same town pays q5 cents for

THE SETTER DOG.
Its Seeming Power Is So Fine as to Be q
Source of Wonder.

Source of Wonder.
The seeming power Of we'll bred,
we'll trained setter is thing wholly
beyond human conception, and the mar
velous exhibitions they give Of this
power can scarcely be credited. Indeed
1t would not be wise to seriously dis.
cuss the quality Of dogs nose were 1t
not possible to verify the stories that
might be told Of This wonderful power.
Who would believe that dog going at
good gallop, with dead bird in its
mouth, could scent live bird on the
ground several yards to one side Of his
course: And yet there are few sports
men who have not seen dog point a
live bird with dead bird in his mouth.
1t would, seem as ii the scent Of the bird
80 near his nose would prevent the dog
from scenting another bird Of the same
variety lying close in the grass several
Of roses in his face would not pretend
be could smell bunch Of similar fow-
ers foot away. II he did, no one would
believe him.
Yet there is no doubt about the set
ter being able TO smell and point live
birds on the ground while he holds a
dead bird in his mouth. He goes fur.
ther than this. He points dead bird
on the ground with dead bird in his
mouth, and he knows the instant he
feels the scent that it is dead bird
This fact he expresses IN his manner Of
pointing and if it is wounded bird he
knows that, too, and indicates the fact
Most dogs are taught 70 point s,anchly
live bird and not to point dead bird.
The dog will go at full speed right Up
to his dead bird and never pause mo-
uent Ii there is live bird near. be

promptness and certainty Of his deci.
sions show that the instant be catches q
scent he knows whether the bird is alive
or dead. He makes distinction, too,
between q dead bird, a live bird and
wounded bird. He points the wounded
bird differently from what he does the
