one Of our old BOYS.

What the Oakland Republican has to
say of G. K. Gull who has many
friends in Kenosha county. Charley
says Nebraska is all right now, but was
a little ashamed of her for going for
Bryan last fall. He says, however, he
was proud of Oakland and Burk county
for rolling up a good majority for
Major Mckinley:
&C. Z. Gull, cashier of the First
National bank of this city, is giving a
practical test, enabling him to answer
the question so often asked, to wit:
g Does farming pay?" He has farm
of 100 acres, about two miles from this
city, on which he Keeps a hired hand
by the year. He keeps strict account
of all expenses and of all incomes and
is therefore enabled to strike an intel
ligent balance. He knows what every
seed cost him, and the cost of every
days labor, and the exact number of
bushels harvested. He does nothing
in a loose or slipshod manner. He
does not depend upon nature alone for
his hay or his pasture. He has seeded
down part of his farm for that pur-
pose, using bluegrass, timothy, clover
redtop and alfalfa. He has provided a
house in which to store his Tachlnery
when not in use, rather than to leave it
out in the fields where last used like
most of the farmers do who farm poll
ties more than they do their farms.
He buys stock and feeds his grain and
at the end of the year knows exactly
what he has gained or lost, And,
notwithstanding there is kind of
general feeling among many farmers
that they are kind of slaves, working
without just compensation, while bank
ers are heaping to themselves great
riches, he is enthusiastic in the opinion
that farming pays, He has no inclina-
ton to close out his farm with all his
machinery, teams and live stock, and
put the value thereof into his bank.
But realizing that farming can be and
is safe and profitable business he
| will continue it. We have not CULLED
this man out from the other farmers
because of the popularity of his name,
but because he keeps strict account
of all expenditures and receipts and
knows to a dollar what he makes or
loses. 1t may also be said that the
ordinary farmer, who resides on the
farm has other opportunities not above
enumerated nor enjoyed by Mr.. Gull,
as he has his house rent free while
Mr.. Gull must pay for his out of his
other business, and furnish a home on
the farm for his hired hand. And the
farmer who resides on the farm may
also, by the aid of his wife anc chill
dren, reap an income from butter, eggs
and garden which almost or quite
supports the family, leaving him all
otherproducts of the farm to swell his
deposits in the bank"

AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Thieves Try to Enter G. A. Jules House
Tuesday Night.

Late Tuesday night one of the SER
wants at George Yule's residence on
Durkee avenue overheard burglars
trying to make their way into the
house. AS she supposed they were
trying the kitchen window. She imme-
diately ran to give Mr.. Yule the alarm.
When the latter was informed of the
attempted burglary he went to where
he usually kept his revolver but found
it missing. After making some search
for it he concluded to give it up and
went after the shot gun. This too had
been misplaced. AS result Mr.. Yule
concluded to interfere without arms.
By this time, however, the fellows on
the outside had.heard the commotion
within and without awaiting further
developments put in disappearance.
When the matter twas investigated it
was found that the would be thieves
had secured a ladder and put it up to
the kitchen window. In their precipi-
tous retreat they left it standing. This
morning large Inumber of burnt
matches were found lying near where
the ladder stood, and scattered pro-
fusely about the front porch in the
neigh borhood of the main entrance.

WALTON BOUND OVER.
He Must Stand Trial Under the Charge of
Burglary.


At the close of the preliminary hear
ing of Edward Walton and William
Taylor on the charge of burglariously
entering a certain freight car and ex-
tracing therefrom four dogskin over
coats, held before Justice Slater Tues
day evening, Walton was bound over
for trial to the next term of the circuit
court under bonds of $500 and Taylor
was allowed to go free, not sufficient
evidence having been produced against
him to make it probable that he had
committed the crime charged.
This Walton, it seems, is an old
offecder against the rights of property.
The fellow comes from Hudson, Wis,
according to q letter received by Chief
of Police Stemm, where he sailed under
the name of Ted Nichols. While there
in September of 1895 he pleaded guilty
to a similar charge as the one brought
against him here. The theft was of a
hat, CATERS, necktie, sleeve buttons,
ETC., belonging to one j. A. Gammons.
For this he was sentenced to the re-
form school at. Waukesha.
