The Country Editor.

TIE typical country editor is quite
a character says an exchange. He is
both a fool and a smart man. He is
a fool for being an editor, and being
one he is smart to keep out of the
moor house. 1t is interesting to fol-
low his meandering for week only.
You will find him smoking ten cent
cigars in the morning. planning some
gigantic scheme so far as chin music
is concerned along with men of means
and when evening drives him home
Won will find him hustling for dear
life picking up fire wood enough to
keen him from freezing. He then
eats a cold potato for supper that he
has himself brought in. which was
slightly frostbitten. and was thought
to be dangerous for COW feed. He
then takes a seat, fills his. pipe with
mean plug tobacco and begins tC
think. He crosses his legs and looks
at his run down shoes, glances at his
barefoot boys and takes up a pencil tc
write about the glorious land we live
ina land flowing with milk and

Sentenced.

Charles Revel, the forger, was
arraigned In district court Friday
afternoon, as intimated ID the CARD
last night. He plead guilty in the
first count and was sentenced to seven
years in the penitentiary. he will
be taken to Lansing Monday by
Sheriff Heskett.
He was sentenced liz the name OF
H. Miller which was one Of his numer,
Gus aliases. Judge Burnette and W.
T. Mcbride both say his real name is
Dick Lester, and that he is the same
man who was tried here during
McBride's term as county attorney
in 1889 for arson. He was running
some sort Of a confectionery at Caid
well and it was charged that he set
fire to the building and burned 1t.
He was acquitted for lack Of evidence.
Since then he has been down In
Oklahoma and has served one term OF
three years in the pen there.

setting on which he fell behind the
day before while he was smoking ten

country editor is a rare specimen Of
the human family. He is a rare dis.

his equal for living one thing and ap.
pearing another, can only be found
in the tramp printer, who nine times

In the Beginning

Of new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be.
gins to break down, that the least e1-
pOsure threatens sickness. 1t Is then as
we'll as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: that Hoods Sarsparilla leads
everything In the way Of medicines;
that itaccomplish shes the greatest cures
10 the world; has the largest sale In
the'world, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclu-
siyely to the preparation of the pro-
prietary medicine. Does not this con-
clusively prove, il you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine
for you to take?

large attendance at court. The audi.

The county attorney laid before the
board Of county commissioners this
morning a letter from Hon. s. RI
Peterson the law firm Of Peters &
Nicholson, attorneys for the Fidelity
and Surety Company, who made the
bond for the deposits in the First
National bank. Mr.. Peters stated
that he had just completed and for
warded to their company at Baltimore
a complete brief Of their opinion in
it would require about twenty days
the case in all its phases, and that
for the same to be considered. He
urged that the county delay action in
the case until they heard from the
company, urging that the county had
nothing to lose and perhaps very
much to gain by so doing. The board
has taken no action as yet, and will
doubtless let the matter rest as sug-
geSted by Mr.. Peters.

preaching storm soon becomes man

tornado, houses are torn asunder and
blown away, great trees are taken up
roots and all, and waited into space,
lightning flashes and thunder peals.
The scene is one Of awful intensity and
truthfulnesS. Then follows the deck
Of great ocean steamer, the grand
rigging scene with six sailors on the
