sequence, no trouble; only two doctors,
and consequently but very few deaths.
In the way of amusements we have a
circular race-track and three churches,
also two Sunday schools and gun
club. Politically we are about evenly
divided between dems and reps. There
is one pop in town, but he is wild as
a jack rabbit and can never hold him
self together long enough to resolute
against the rest of us. Our women are
the prettiest in the world, and the men
all love fair play, even to stealing
yearlings. If some smart gentleman
should show up with pistol or knife
on his person he is at once waited on
by committee, and Immediately
thereafter he can be seen hitting the
high places in the scenery in a sudden
flight toward the United States, where
such galoOts belong.

RECENTLY a man was acquitted in
less than an hour when his case was
reached for trial after being imprisoned
for over year. One of our exchanges
denounced the matter as an outrage on
the man, and on the public for having
been compelled to support him for this
length of time. If the comparative
slight cost of his support is denomi-
mated an outrage on the public, words
can hardly be found strong enough to
characterize the injustice perpetrated
on the individual. Society in general
claims and undoubtedly possesses the
right to imprison any of its members
through the process of law, but the
right also carries with it the moral OBJ.

to everyone interested in good govern
ment, namely; no saloon or immoral
resorts are allowed, the purchasers of
lots being compelled to sign an agree
ment to this effect. The climate of
Co-opolis is said to be free from ma
laria and quite healthy, and as the cost
of securing house of four rooms and
five acres of land is only 1920, it affords
an opportunity for poor families to
obtain a home at a small cost. We

Seventy-tive years have elapsed since

WE WOULD advise Bro. EastOn, of
the Saltwater Gazette, to eliminate the
word municipal from his vocabulary,
or stand over his compositor with a
club when he is setting up the word
and see that it is properly spelled,
for it does not look well to speak of
the "mucilage court" as it has thus
appeared several times of late in the
columns of the Gazette.

y LITERARY NOTES. y

"When the Moon Is Red" is the title
of weird tale contributed to the San
Francisco Argonout of May 4th by
Thomas H. Wilson, a United States
army officer. The authors military eX-
perience is evident from his vivid
sketching of army life on the New
Mexico frontier, though it seems i'm
possible that so weird an example of
soul migration as he describes could
take place in everyday American life.
Domohoe's for May is, as usual,
bright, timely, varied, and entertain
ing, and has more than it's ordinary
amount of artistic illustration. The
leading article is snappy discussion
of the issues of the approaching presi-
Dental campaign from the pen of ex-
Congressman w. J. Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, the brilliant young orator whose
eloquence won him national fame dur
ing his congressional career. Bernard
Morgan contributes carefully studied
paper on "The Spirit of Frederick

Linehan, insurance commissioner of
New Hampshire, presents the argu-
ments in favor of safe methods of in
surance and scores the bogus opera

mexican Rambles," by Arthur mixers
lev takes the reader by means of chatty
paragraphs and pertinent pictures on
delightful tour of inspection of this
picturesque city, its romantic sights
and inhabitants. ''Shakespeare's Au-
thorship and Religion" are treated in
the form of dialogue by Hon. lgna-
thus Donnelly and Rev. John Conway
A. Nj. The arguments pro and con are
most interestingly handled in this novel
form of magazine writing. Joseph G.
Drum writes on the 'Revival OF the
Olympic Games" treating the subject
historically, and introducing sketches
with cuts of the young American ath-
letes who bore off the honors of the
modern StadiOn.

EDITOR HORNBECK. of the Minco,
Indian Territory, Minstrel, in replying
to letter requesting information re-
garding the population and improve
ments of the city, has the following to
say:
The population of Minco is variously
estimated from 475 to 500 persons,
owing altogether to the proximity of
the deputy marshals or the occurrence
of horse-race over the line. The pop

representative of the London Times,
defines the qualities which are essential
to success in the field of journalism in
the May Recieac Of Recie1cs as follows:
"The man who would enter school of
journalism should feel positive ''call''
to this vocation; should have in him
the unwearying vigilance which is an
absolute condition of it; the love of
danger, of civil danger that is, and a
real peril; a boundless curiosity and
love for truth, and special and
marked facility of rapid assimilation

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
In 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
Improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

this standard we are afraid there are
very few journalists in America who

THE new Ohio law regulating the
execution Of criminals provides for
electrocution, and hereafter the crimi-
nal who is to receive the full force Of
the capital punishment act will be
telegraphed into eternity. 1t is some
what of more sensible and civilized
mode of execution, if we are permitted
to call that punishment civilized
act-than the hanging at the end of a
rOpe.-Jordan Independent.
That it is not a civilized act but a
relic of barbarism, is evidenced by the
growing sentiment against it, which
has become so strong that grand juries
refuse to indict for murder in the de-
gree in which the penalty could be
imposed. A bill is even now before
the United States senate to abolish
capital punishment altogether.
