WHY GO TO NEVADA?

st. Patrick's day is a time when all
t1rishmen true born are expected to get
together and celebrate the great Occa-
+ sion. It would seem that this should
%be a day of sweet peace on earth and
good will toward men. But there are
two men in Topeka who both register
from Cork who will celebrate the day
an genuine fashion. And while the as
sistance of the undertaken will not be
needed, there promises to be the livliest
time in the history of Topeka s H1bern-
1anS. There will be good will to all,
but most magnificent fight has been
arranged to httingly keep the day. 1t
will be between those two representa-
tives of old Ireland, Bailim John Coyne,
of the district court, and Deputy Larry
Sheehan, of Sheriff Kepley's force. For
long months there has been an unset
tied question between them. This
question was, which is the better Of
us" Both love to play practical jokes
on each other, and many amusing in
cidents have happened through their
nischievOuS FRANKS. 1t will not be
fight to the death, but Simply good
old fashioned sporty time. Larry says
that he can whip John in two rounds,
but the latter will not waive this. John
says that on account of the day Ameri-
can customs must be abolished and on
" Irish tactics observed. Accordingly
he has challenged Larry to a genuine
go" with slillalehs. Larry would
rather not accept, but the blood of his
ancestors courses swiftly through his
veins when he thinks of it, and he has
decided to accept the challenge. AS
yet he has not picked his second, but
John already has secured the services
of City Jailer John Dagg.
I'll bet ye," says Dagg enthusiastic
cally, that Coyne kin lick the soofin
out of Larry in a single stick contest.
Mebbe Larry could git tn best o him
with his knuckle tips, but give John
a shillaleh and he'll beat him..
AS yet the place of meeting has not
been arranged, but it will be where
there are plenty of trees. And it will
be battle royal, a genuine battle of
the shamrock.

Land For Everybody.

The U. 5. senate has passed the meas
IRE known as the ee-homestead bill,
which has been under discussion since
the holiday recess. 1t is measure of
far-reaching importance, particularly to
the western states, and the interest in it
was shown by the fact that plank con-
corning it WAS feature Of the several
national platforms. The effect of the bill
is to open to settlement all the public
lands acquired from Indians, free of pay.
ment to the government, beyond the
minor Office fees, and to release from pay
ment those who have heretofore settled
on those lands. The number OF acres
Involved, according to an estimate made
by the commissioner of the general land
office, is 30, 207 sal, which would have
yielded the government at the prices
heretofore established, $35, 3I3.O O6. To
Offset this statement, it was brought out
during the debate that the lands
were mainly arid, and that those who
had settled upon them were unable to
make payment, ny reason OF the scanty
products of the soil The western sens-
ators in the main favored the bill as an
extension OF the general homestead poll
cy of the government. The opposition
was directed mainly by Plat of Connecti-
cut, and Villas. A the bill passed 10 the
house, it covered only lands acquired

To ,ho Memory Of Mrs. ~. Parker

To the Memory OF MRS. ~. Parker.
Friends, may We all remember,
While here on earth we stay,
That on January fifteenth,
Mrs Parkers spirit passed away
Gods angels came with silent wings
Fast flew the fleeting breath,
The spirit took its journeyinIs,
The eyes were closed IN death.
And now for her, her kindred mourn,
Deep is her daughters grief,
The daughters hearts are sadly torn,
Can they find no relief ?
She was possessed OF virtues rare,
A heart most kind and true,
And in another world more fair,
She is waiting now for you.
No more her merry ringing voice,
Shall here on earth resound:
She dwells in heaven, where all rejoice
And peace and joy abound.
Far. far removed from worldly sin,
No more to know Of sorrow,
The gates are wide, all may enter 10,
Soon cometh the brighter morrow.
A few more years may roll on,
A few more seasons come,
Then We shall be " in thee, at rest,
Asleep within the tomb.

In speaking Of the just comment oil
THE HERALD regarding the state normal
school at Ellensburg the Capital says:
These very kind words will be fully
appreciated by our people. Yakima
county is we'll represented in the normal
school here, and her students have al
ways carried away with them good re-
ports OF the institution, 90 the HERALD's
words will not be regarded as fattery in
any sense of the word, but as deductions
from practical know ledge.
"What the HERALD says about the in
stituton is absolutely true and 1t is now
a self evident fact that only one normal
school should have been established, and
it is a fact that this school can easily
supply the demands Of q population Of
500, 900 for teachers.
"Of course, the people Of Ellensburg
think the school here, being the Oldest
and best, in every respect, should escape
the pruning hook of much needed re-
trenchment, but the champions OF the
other schools will be equally averse to
seeing either institutions closed up. But
economy should and no doubt will com e,
and there is ample room for the practice
of economy in the direction indicated
Ellensburg is fighting no other normal
school, but our people are ready and
willing for our normal school to 20 before
the governor, the legislature and the peo-
pie OF the entire state on it's merits and
its record. 1t should win and il justice
prevails it will"
