Editorial.
A PLEA FOR MIR. HART.

A somewhat ominous silence per-
vades the Democracy of the Eighth
in regard to their next congressional
nomination for the district. This is
rather incomprehensible, for, it
bodies i'll for somebody.
True, the Democratic convention
in Monroe heartily endorsed the
course of Congressman Hart as we'll
as the administration, and our Sena-
tor, Mr.. Rowland, but then some
times these resolutions of approval
are rather perfunctory and do not
embody the real sentiments of a
party. No insincerity can be attri-
buted to our Democratic friends in
Monroe for so far as we know they
are whole-souled and not disingenu-
GUS gentleman. They could however
make the movement for Mr.. Hart a
little more staccato in expression.
and pronounced in sentiment, with
out expending surplus energy, and
this applies equally to the other
counties in the district.
Why dissemble longer? Why not
come out frankly and urge har-
monious and unanimous action. Give
Mr.. Hart the denomination to which
he is clearly entitled by reason OF
party fealty and individual loyalty.
This would only be even handed
and well deserved justice to one who
has faithfully and ably served his
constituents, besides being in har-
mony with the Democratic spirit of
fairness.
We are not urging Democratic
principles nor are we saying that
any Democrat can be elected to Con-
gress in this district this fall. We
do not expect such a result, but, if
the Gods have made enough voters
mad to compass their destruction in
that way we think our present men,
Der the most fitting instrument to
execute their will. The Democratic
slogan two years ago in this county
was Pike first, last and all the time,
and if modesty should prevent our
cotemporary from urging the claims
of its editor, we desire now to pre-
sent them in an emphatic and un-
equivocal manner.

Never Saw a Sheep or Hog.

Through John E. Rastail, former
ly of Kansas, it has developed that
one-third of the children of ono of
the. principal grammar schools of
Chicago have never seen a live sheep
or hog, though all have seen lions,
tigers and other animals of the tro-
pics.
The matter has been taken up by
the press ON the belief that the same
ratio of children throughout the city
have never seen a live sheep or hog
and the Park Commissioners will be
requested to place specimens of these
animals in the geological depart
ments of the parks.-Exchange.

There were waving hands and banners as
the crowded car rolled by,
There were shouts from merry children
ringing to the summer sky;
Then strain of music rose and swelled
and pealed along the street.
As their gay, tumultuous clamor melted in
chorus sweet
ooh, say, can you see by the dawn's early
light
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning;
Whose broad stripes and bright stal s,
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so
gallantly streaming ?"
Ali the starry flag is glorious, and the
children love Il too,
And the land Is safe and happy where the
children's hearts are true.
How their youthful ardor thrilled me, as
the revelation came
That the guard is ever changing, but the
flag remains the same
We were born too late for glory, but we
still in memory keep
Stirring echoes from the battlefields where
warrior fathers sleep.
We have held the flag as ours, but 10 the
years are passing by,
And newer generation waves the stars
eth0 oeAAl'No DAA AAAEAAs
Better thus, for now the rancors of the
strife no more appall,
And the children know no faction, and
the flag belongs to all.
Be it so. We yield the prestige, for the
new guard comes. apace,
With the strength of youthful millions,
loyal purpose in its face.
Flag of peace or flag of battle Children,
it is yours to love
VIII you honor and defend it as the gift
of God above
All the children's hearts are loyal From
a myriad array
North and south there comes the answer,
as it came that summer day:
"Then conquer we must, when our cause
it is just,
And this be our motto, In God Is our
trust
And the star spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home OF
the brave"

An aAdam rree > 1n the ~.

In parts of Germany, when the
evening clouds mount high and be-
come narrow and many branched, so
as to bear some resemblance to a
gigantic tree, the peasants speak of
the phenomenon as being an "Adam
tree" or an abraham tree" How
or where the curious superstitions
about these feecy aerial trees ori-
ginated no one knows, but the stor-
les which are told regarding them
are many and varied in character.
The "bloody Adam tree" is sup
posed to appear before any great ma
tional disaster, just as the white
lady" makes her appearance prior
to a death in the royal family. Be-
fore the great famine of 1173 the
"Adam tree" appeared ''in all it's
parts like a gigantic tree, but with
withered leaves and dead and de-
caying fruits seem ingly hanging
from its branches. " In 134S, when
the plague was raging throughout
Europe, adam trees of awful por-
tent appeared in the skies and were
seen from Italy to France, and in all
cases grinning skeletons and friends
appeared hanging to or sporting in
the branches. "
In modern times the adam tree
regulates nothing but the weather.
When the German, Russian or Ita-
lian peasant sees what we call
"mackeral sky" he says: 1--WE
shall have wind. Adams tree is
putting forth leaves" If the " lea.
yes" appear white and are seen in
the morning, rain may be looked
for. If the branching and leafng
out takes place in the afternoon, it
is a sign of fine weather.-St. Louis
Republic.

Like the crows in spring time that
meet in large concourse so large
numbers of fellow citizens have been

become clear. They were friends

It is stated that even in rebellious
cases, hiccough may be cured by
strongly pushing the tongue out of
the mouth and holding it so for a
few minutes. If this be so, the sim
pie and easy treatment might be in
dicated in wooping cough and chok-
ing from irrespirable gases.

dividuals reluctantly yielded to the
persistent solicitations of many
friends and so announce. It is a sad
commentary on our people that they
are so selfish. There are numerous
well qualified men in this County,
for almostany Office in the gift of our
people, and yet they are not willing
to make the little sacrifice of time
necessary to look after public mat
ters. They go and urge men who
are crowded with business, large
hearted philanthropists, magnani-
nous souls whose natural generosity
and inborn sympathy for their suff-
ering fellow creatures will not per
NIT them to refuse the importuni-
ties of friends, and so they go and
sacrifice personal comfort, domestic
happiness, and even their own pri-
vate business interests and along
with these more or less cold cash to
gratify unthinking and selfish
friends. Such self denial, abnega-
ton, sacrifice, Is touching and al
most makes us weep.

Occasionally large birds are seen
in this vicinity which seem to be
strangers, and people are inclined,
fearing they may commit some de-
probation, to shoot them. The Ca
thartes aura, or turkey buzzard, an
American vulture, is described as
sooty black, with a naked red head
and neck. This bird is remarkable
for it's graceful fight in the higher
regions of the air, and somewhat re-
sembles the common turkey. 1t is a
scavenger extremely fond of carrion
and in this particular is of benefit to
a neighborhood. The law recognizes
its services to mankind by imposing
a penalty of not less than SO, nor
more than $50 on any person killing
one of them.

PASTE THAT WILL KEEP A YEAR
Dissolve teaspoonful of alum in a
quart of warm water When cold,
stir in -four enough to give it the
consistence of thick cream, being
careful to beat up all the humps.
Throw in half a dozen cloves, and
stir in as much powdered resin as
will stand on a penny. Pour the
flour mixture into a teacupful of
boiling water, stirring well all the
time. Let it remain on the stove a
few minutes and it will be of the
consistence of mush. Pour it into
an earthen or china vessel let it cool
cover it and put in a cool place.
When needed for use, soften a por-
tion with warm water. 1t will last
a year, and is better than gum, as it
does not gloss the paper and can be
written upon.

MARK Ii. BARNUn.

We will gladly send the REPoR-
TER to our old friend and neighbor
Mark II. Barnum, who has been
sentenced for six months in the
Richland Center jail We admire
the man. He has a big heart and
each beat pulsates for the down
trodden and unfortunate. His
motives and intentions towards
Rose Zoldoski we're of the highest
kind. He believes the girl is
innocent of the crime for which
she IS serving a life sentence, and
SO do we. He has thought and,
still thinks, that DR.. Mitchell is the
man who in fact should be serving
time for the state. Mr.. Barnum
did everything in his power to
have the girl pardoned and accord
ing to our libel laws in this state
published more than he should in
her defense. In publishing the
minnie Braddock" letter is where
he made his only mistake. We
overlook it in him and all his
intimate friends do. We honor
him for preferring to serve his
time than pay his fine. He
possesses those manly qualities of
character which we admire mostly
in men. His incarceration will be
short as his friends throughout the
state will arise in one body and
demand his pardon. He intended
no insult or pain to the parents Of
the deceased girl, he simply did
everything he could to throw light
upon the cause of the death of
Ella Maley. We know the man
intimately and well. He loves to
do kind act, and no man will 60
farther to help friend or stranger
when in trouble. He is an ardent
supporter of what he believes to
be right He would suffer any
punishment for the sake of doing
right and help the fallen. Who
could do more? We are at your
service brother BaFnum, call upon
us for anything within ouf power
to give or do and it is yours for
the asking.
