wished to say that he had never
retracted anything he had ad-

called on his brother commits

Chairman Carney further said

10 cut a long story snort,
Frank Moorhead "bobbed up Sc
renely," bright and smiling as a
daisy and wanted to know what
the board proposed to do with
his claim. He was SO persistent
that finally he got the board to
get their attorneys opinion; the
essence Of which was that the
overseer was the trespasser and
Moorhead would have to look to
him for damages, but if the
boarG saw fit they could allow
him such compensation as they
would agree on. Then the board
smiled complacently and Frank
grew trifle nervous and pale,
but he held his position as the
sixth member Of that body and
never relinquished it, making va
rious charges during the day, and
just before their adjournment
late in the afternoon the board
succumbed to Frank pertinacity
and voted him $50, and he left
smiling for Belleview where he
had made a professional engage
ment Monday, but vowed he
never would leave that room un-

thereafter any unmarried woman

void her contract with the board.
The enforcement of the resolu-

The matter of supplying the
court house with electric lights
has been quietly advocated and
agitated for sometime. 1t is an
improvement and convenience

the county commissioners ought
to supply. 1t frequently hap
pens that night sessions of the
district and county courts are
necessary for the proper expedi-
ton of the judicial machinery
The poorly lighted condition OF

status makes a night session of
either court very inconvenient-

two offices, notably that of the

an absolute necessity. Clerk

ABE AND BOB LINCOLN.

Mr.. Robert Lincoln, ex-secre-
tary of war and son Of presi-
dent of the United States, bitter
ly disapproves of his daughters
marriage, ''for love-" to a wor-
thy but undistinguished young
Iowan. The chances are that
old Abe, his father, would have
heartily approved the match and
laughed in admiration of the
young woman's pluck in sticking
to the man of her choice. He
might even have related an an
ecdote bearing upon the point at
issue.
The difference between the
two men, father and son, is that
"Bob'' Lincoln has social aspi-
rations of that ultra type devel-
oped by the increase OF wealth
and the establishment of class
distinctions in this country while
"Abe" Lincoln was essentially a
man of the people, with a grim
contempt for the aristocracy of a
nation the cardinal principle of
whose political creed is that all
men are born equal. The son is
president of a millionaire cor
poration and the leader of Chi
cago's "400." The father was
president of a Democratic people
and himself gaunt and awkward,
Democratic to the back bone.
The difference between the two,
it may be feared, is the differ
ence between the social condi-
tons of this country to-day and
forty or fifty years ago, says the
st. Louis Republic.
When the daughter confessed
to her mother that she had been
clandestinely welded to the man
whom she loved, Mrs. "Bob"
Lincoln forgave the now dreadful
offense. But Mr. Lincoln, we are
told, maintained that he could
not forgive his daughter then and
he was positive that he could
never forgive Mr.. Beckwith for
SO wounding his self-respect and
for placing the family in such a
"social plight How the old
rail-splitter of Sangamon would
have chuckIed at this "social
plight" of his son, brought about
by daughters brave resolve to
marry for love instead of money!
Are we not following too dan
gerously close in the footsteps of
caste ridden Europe under the
cad of an anglicized American
social set antagonishc to the
beauty and dignity of plain
American manhood? Is there |
any good reason why an Ameri-
IAN girl should not marry the !
nan she loves, if that man is
