There has been considerable by-play
the laSt few days between the regular
republicans and the irregular republi-
cans. The regular republican is the
designation by which the administra-
ton party is generally known, while
the title of irregular republicans is gen.
orally bestowed on that faction of the
republican party which nominated
Monteath for mayor a year ago. II
seems that Charles Q. Johnson, sec
rotary of the regular republican COM
mrbte entered the sanctum of the ir-
regular republicans last Thursday
evening waving the olive branch of
peace. He proposed a plan on behalf of
the republicans by which two republic
can tickets could be obviated. He sug-
geSted that each wing of the party get
up a primary ticket in each ward and
then fight Ii out on the line and find
out which is the stronger, agreeing
to give united support to the
side that wins The irregular republi-
cans gave a collective smile at this
proposition, and in plain Anglo-Saxon
language without frills, gave the regu-
lars what would not look well printed
in a Sunday morning paper.
meeting of the irregular republic
cans is now called for o'clock this aft
ernoon in Judge Hollands Office. There
Is a rumor that there may be a citi-
zens' ticket in the field before the
is over.

The company is doing considerable
pulldlng. There are under construction
at the present time two iron buildings:
one OF them is 314xS4 feet, the other one
is lSOX64 feet; an ore house, 210xS6 feet
a store house 150x60 feet, and a machine
shop, 2OOx60 feet. The excavating for
the smokestack foundation has been
done and is 42x42 feet, and about 25
feet deep. There is material on the
ground for 10 dwelling houses, which
viii soon be built
The company has also commenced
work on tunnel to convey water from
a point on its ditch to the townsite. 1t
also has the excavating done for a / 900

employ quite a large number of men
there during the summer, and the pros

A Dollar Cues a Long Way.

At one time a Mexican dollar was
worth but rs cents in the United
States, and United States dollar was
worth but rs cents in Mexico. On the
border of the United States and Mexi-
co was man who had a Mexican dol
lar. He went into store just across
the border in Mexico and purchased a
book, for which the storekeeper chang
ed him % cents. The customer ten
dered the Mexican dollar in payment,
and received instead of the rs cents in
Mexican money an American dollar
worth rs cents in Mexico. The man
took the dollar, stepped across the
border into United States store and
purchased another book, for which the
shopkeeper charged % cents. The
buyer handed the American collar, re-
ceived instead of rs cents change a
Mexican dollar. The man purchased
100 books in this way, and some one
wants to know who was the loser and
how much.-Ocosta Pioneer.

IT is found that the number of
mich COWS in the United States is
falling off materially and the inference
is drawn that there must soon be a
shortage in the supply of dairy pro-
ducts. This is very natural infer
ence but while the number of COWS has
fallen off it does not follow that the
volume OF dairy products has suffered
corresponding decrease. The dairy
districts of the United States are max
ing almost phenomenal progress IN
their methods of dairying at the pres
ent time. The use of separators has
probably increased by ten per cent the
quantity of butter obtained from a
given quantity of milk. The Babcock
test has resulted in a great wedding
out of the improbable COWS in dairy
herds. The feed problem has been
studied with great zeal. There are
probably more herds of cows now In
the United States which give an aver
age OF over 800 pounds OF butter per
wear than there were of COWS giving
200 pounds twenty years ago. The
average yield Of dairy cows III the
United States has increased probably
ten per cent in the past ten years and
it will not be many years until the
average COW will yield twice as much
butter as at the present time. There
| is no good reason to anticipate hlgn
prices for dairy products until there
is an advance in the price OF farm
products generally. Increased knowi'
edge and improved methods are reduc-
ing the cost of production and the
| high prices which were obtained fol
choice butter in former years can
hardly be expected again. 1t IS 10 oe
jexnected, however, that result OF
rapidly increasing supply OF good out
Ter IT moderate prices there VIII be
corresponding increase in the quan
tity of butter used.-The Rural North

Fir Tree Philosophy.

The devil gets all the votes, when
some men run for office.
The people who talk the most, do
not always say the most.
Good fortune does not always ride
In gold-mounted carriage.
When you bury the hatchet, don't
leave the handle sticking out.
! The days are never long enough for
toe mar who loves his work.
| The Gay which begins the darkest
may turn out to be one of the bright
est.
A fool is always burning his fingers,
becanse he forgets that fire is hot.
We would not be so anxious to get
gold, if we would pay more for con-
tentment.
The devil doesn't always have to go
to the slums to find a man willing to
do his work.
Many a man is trying to reform the
world has front gate that won't stay
shut.
Some of the hungriest people in the
world are those that have the most
wealth.
If we are poor, we may take long
step toward wealth by becoming con-
tented.
While some men are preaching, the
devil knows that it will be safe for him
to take nap.
Make it right to sell whiskey, and
it cannot be proven that anything else
is wrong.
There is something wrong with the
piety of the man whose religion is
never heard of outside of church.
The Good Samaritan forgot that the
Jew was his enemy, as soon as he got
to where he could see him bleed.
There's difference between making
and earning money, between a value
and price, between a sale and a
bargain.

Last Slave Auction.

The last great slave auction held in
this country occurred just a year and
half before the war-in October 1883
at the race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property of Pierce But
ler, picturesque and prominent figure
at that day in Philadelphia society
who is to-day only remembered as
having been the husband of Fanny
Kemble, the actress, reader and author
His family name was Mease, but he
inherited fortune in lands and slaves
from his grandfather, Major Pierce
Butler of South Carolina, Oh condition
that he should take the latter's name
Buffers inveterate passion for
gambling got him into financial diff
culties. 1t is said that he lost $26, ,OOO
on single hand-four deuces against
four kings held by his opponent.
Finally to meet his losses Butler was
forced to sell his slaves. There were
9SS of them in all. The sale took two
days and netted $303,S5O. Butler had
chosen good time to sell. A year
later his negroes would not have oeen
worth a dollar a head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
it not been announced as one of the
conditions that no division of families
would be permitted Hence, in order
to secure a good slave, buyers often
had to take with them infirm O: aged
relatives. Out of this Limitation grew
a memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a
we'll known Vicksburg trader, bought
at the sale man, his two sisters and
his wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated. Disregarding
this, Pate sold the sisters, one to Pat
Somers, brother trader, and the other
to Il resident of St. Louis. What legal
rights negro had in the South Were
we'll protected. Somers was told OF
the guarantee, and he sent the girl
back to Pate and demanded his money
A quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate, and died from
wounds received. The feud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
of Pate was wiped out, and then the
war liberated the sisters.-New York
Herald.

doing anything.
The all absorbing topic wherever two
or three republicans are gathered to-
gether is the election of delegates to
the St. Louis convention. The claims
of nomination are not being so posi-
tivelv made by the friends of any Of
the candidates as they were a short
time ago. 1t is now generally admit
ted that Gov. Mckinley will have a
good lead on the first ballot but that
he will not have enough to nominate
him. The connndyum that is most
discussed is, will he gain after the first
ballot? His supporters say he will,
and his opponents that he will not,
and both are ready to present argument
to prove that they are right. Speaker
Reed will be second in strength on the
| first ballot.
