Lightuing.Rod Swindlers-Look Out for
For years the lightning rod has been
q favorite tool with which to manipu-
late the unwary and credulous, and at
every new turn at this wheel Of fortune
numbers Of people are caught In the
swindle. No matter how often or how
we'll these tricks are shown up In the
newspapers, some one who knew better
is duped, and so the fraud is likely to
live to a green old age.
During the past week bold and un.
scrupulous gang Of men have been
working in this county. They are
through with their work in this local
ity now, probably, but we may be able
to warn other sections OF the state In
time to prevent repetition of our ex-
perience. These men usually strike q
farmer with proposition to put up
lot of rod free, on the ground that they
are putting In rods only once In five or
six miles as q sample, the farmer TO
pay for small part of the cost and to
recommend the rod to others. To Ike
Cline, north Of the city, they proposed
to give 100 feet Of rod, he signing an
agreement to pay s6 for the remaining
ten feet, which they agreed to take in
board. After the rod was up another
man put in an appearance and tried to
collect. He had the original contract,
into which had been written an agree
ment to pay sl5 for each brace and the
same amount for each point, making q
bill altogether something like $3.50.
Meanwhile Mr.. Cline had become sus-
picious and consulted legal authority.
He refused to pay the bill and the rod
was taken down. We hear Of another
man, fifteen miles north, whose name
we will withhold, who was bulldozed
into giving his note for something like
$50 In full settlnment for the deal.
Doubtless others Of whom we have not
heard have been taken Ia. One would
think that such transparent schemes
~ these men have been working would
deceive no one. yet men Of moro than
average intelligence have been duped
thus right in our midst. Look out for
this eangl They apparently are work.
Ing north, and 70 our neighbour Ia that
direction We send this word Of alarm.
Publish the fraud far and near, and
keep shy Of them!

Bonn stole horse near Harrington,
Neb., last week, and started up this
way with the plumber where it was
disposed of. Sheriff Ryan has been
looking for him several days, got trace
OF him and followed him north; finally
capturing him near lreton, Iowa, Mon

also has been recovered.
Fred A. Cain and wife were nearly

an exceedingly narrow escape. Mr..

Miss Agnes Doyen closes two years
of most successful work In the Primary
Department OF our school, and returns
to her home in Chicago where she will
spend the summer. Miss Doyen is en-
dowed with that rare combination OF
qualities which are essential in the
makeup OF really competent primary
teacher. These natural qualifications,
together with mental and moral at
tainments OF high order, have made
her sineularly successful as teacher
OF the little ones. She has made a
large place for herself In school, church
Y. p. s. C. E. and social circles, and
will be greatly missed.
J. S. Merrill, OF Jefferson, called on
the COURIER Friday and paid his sub
scription to date. Mr.. Merrill has lost
nearly the whole OF fine 200-acre farm
through the encroachments of the
river, and he now moves back to Par
deeyille, Wis. Instead of trying to
beat the editor out of small sum, as
he easily might have done, he is man
of such scrupulous honesty that we be-
lieve he would borrow the money to
pay his bills should disaster make such
q course necessary. Mr.. Merrill Is an
old settler here, has been honored with
important public Offices, his term as
County Commissioner expiring only
last January, and even his political op-
ponents speak highly Of his integrity,
good judgment and honest convictions.
He will be a great loss to Jefferson and
Union County, and we trust that in
Columbia County, Wis.,, whittier he
goes. he will find home where he will
be prospered and appreciated.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1897-07-15

Last spring the women of the little
town of jamestown, in Cloud county,
Kansas, organized and elected an entire
ticket of women, from mayor down.
They promised to rid the town of sa-
looms and gambling. After a fight for
two months they were compelled to
take the law into their hands, and, &C
cordingly on Friday band of resolute
women, shortly after midnight, went to
Miller's saloon with axes, hatchets and
hammers and smashed the building and
furniture to fragments. Beer and whis-
key was spilled in the streets and the
bar, furniture and fixtures were scat
tered about the premises. A notice
was posted warning Miller to leave the
town and threatening vengeance on
any Others who should undertake to
run a saloon or joint in the town.

Mr., Duncan Veazey, In the July Furm; Civil
Service reform is frequently discussed in too
general manner. the main point involved not
being sufficiently emphasized A merritt system
of appointment having been established by law
it would appear to follow, as a logical sequence
that removals should not be made without
cause. And there is q popular impression that
provision Of this nature does exist that per-
sons in the Classified service OF the Govern
ment cannot be dismissed without good reason,
That this view is erroneous, however, becomes
clear when we consider that the Act only
regulates enterance to the Service there being
no legal obstruction to removals, Consequent
ly, although the percentage OF removals is
smaller than formerly, no employee, however
efficient, can feel assured that he will not be
one OF the comparatively few to be dismissed.
| While it is true that something has been done
by the Act to prevent political assessments,
it is no less true that the selection Of list OF
eligiblesits primary aim-has become the
means OF enhancing he power of the spokesman
as well as the reformer

The qualifications for becoming n
competitor for a scholarship are as fol-
lows: The applicant must not be less
than seventeen years of age, nor more
than thirty of irreproachable moral
character in good health with no
physical defects, eccentricities, or habits
which would interfere with success in
teaching; and must make a pledge of

class desire to enter the college they
will, on application, receive from tn
state superintendent special certifcat
which will admit them to the colleg
without further examination. Thi
