NO TIME TO ACT UGLY.

The commissioners of Payne county
at their last meeting in saltwater APP
propriated $500 towards building a
bridge across the Cimarron river, at
Franklin Ford, fourteen miles north
east Of Guthrie Since then the same
commissioners have agreed 70 appro-
pirate an additional $500 TO this work,
providing Logan county appropriates
$500 and agrees to placing the bridge
at the point named, the work to be
completed by January ist next.
At Franklin's ford the Cimarron
banks are high and solid and afford a
natural location for bridge approaches.
The ford is on direct line with Still
water and leads from beautiful sec
tion OF country. Despite the liberal
offer Of Payne county. it is said the
Logan county hoard does not favor a
bridge at Franklin crossing, but would
nave II near Langston Since Payne
county appropriates its money with
the express stipulation that the bridg e
be located at Franklin ford, it seems
queer that logan county's board should
become obstinate and bull.headed and
thereby sacrifice all chances OF having
bridge at all THE LEADER advises
the Logan board to accept Payne
countys offer without delay. Ever
since the flood the Logan county com
missioners have been complaining OF a
lack OF money with which to build
bridges. Now that they have an OPP
portuity Of having a bridge built for
them, practically, by Payne county,
they should not act ugly. Appropriate
$500 and let bridge be built at Frank
Inns crossing.

CASE or PATCHES.

Here is what an exchange states con.
cerning John Rockefeller's income,
and very likely 1t Is all true, and that
almost as much could be said for his
brother;
John d. Rockefeller sleeps eight and
one-half hours every night retiring at
1890 and rising at g. Every morning
when he gets up he is sl7, ,7O5 richer
than when he went to bed. He sits
down To breakfast and in that short
half hour his wealth has grown 81, O51, =
So On Sundays be goes TO church, and
IN the two hours he Is away from home
his wealth has grown Si166. His
nightly amusement is playing violin
Every evening when he picks up his
instrument he is $50, 900 richer than
when he laid 1t down the previous
night. Those little facts give an idea
OF the reason why some OF us wear
patches on our best pants.
But what is most remarkable is that
the people are so meek and so IRA
tional and so willing to wear patches
while Rockefeller plays on his Nero
fiddle. The people are dong prRc.
tically nothing to curb the rapacity OF
the trusts and coal operators, the mon
Opolies and corporations. II anything
is being done we should like for some
one 10 mention what it is and who is

The largest marine plant. and pro-
badly one OF the highest plants known
on this globe, Is a gigantic seaweed,
the nereocystis. the stem OF which has
been found to grow as much as 300
long II was first discovered not far
from the Alaskan coast. but has since
been found floating in various parts OF
the Pacific ocean along the American
and Asiatlc shores The seaweed grows
In very curious manner. Large
quantities OF Il are found az q little
distance from shore. and at depths not
exceeding 300 feet. On loamy bot
tom large thickets OF this plant take
root and stem OF the thickness OF
ordinary cord grows upward At its
top there is a pear shaped balloon.
which grows with the stem. and when
Ii reaches the surface of the water Il
often measures six feet and more In
length. with "A diameter OF 4 feet 6
inches. The balloon has. OF course. an
upward tendency. and keeps the stem
growing until it floats on the surface OF
the water From the top OF this bal
loon large tuft OF strong. thick. spade
Ike leaves grows opt which originally
are not more than two feet long. and
which grow and split until from the
balloon a rose-like growth OF from so
| to G5 feet in diameter covers the water.
This gigantic weed grows in such
quantities that near the shore large
lmcadow-like islands are formed, which
impede navigation. The natives OF the
Aleutian islands make manifold uses
NJ this plant From the strong dried
stems they make rope 25O feet and more

nish them with large vessels after they
are dried. the smaller ones being used
in their boats to hail out water The
Hong leaves, having been dried are cut
Into narrow strips. and used for wick

similar furniture.

Alarmed at the prospects of some

committee OF Noble county met Satur-

protest against any such action The
protest recited the home rule plank of
the st. Louis platform, and demanded
that it be applied all along the line,

SIGNALING FROM MARS.
Sir Francis GaIton seems to BE sure
OF it.


OF IL.
Any citizen who is tired OF mundane
affairs and wants to fix his mind on
something higher is invited to consider
the allegation OF Sir Francis Galton,
made In the London Fortnightly Re
view. that some one in Mars is signal
ing TO earth. says Harpers Weekly.
The information seems not as yet 10
be very generally confirmed by astro-
nomical observers. but Sir Francis is
quoted as authority for the report that
in one OF the European obseryatories
an apparatus has been devised for re-
cording the Martian flashes and that
the record shows that three signals aud
no more are made and that they df-
fer. as all flasb-light signals do. IN
the length OF the flashes and OF the
intervals between. So that II We had
the key they might read like telegraph
messages. or course. this Is not a yarn
10 be swallowed whole. but the assO-
citation OF the name OF Sir Francis Gal
ton with IL Is enough TO entitle II 10
consideration. There seems to be no
intrinsic impossibility OF our having
relations with people In Mars. II
sounds preposterous. OF course, but
like other maryels. Il seems preposter-
ous chiefly because ii is unusual We
have to nudge ourselves from time tc
time In this age OF swift surprises and
remind ourselves that nothing that il
new to us can possibly be more mar
yelous than many things that have
grown familiar

Farmers will do well 10 go slow, and
learn where they can secure the high
est price for this staple. They have
been robbed by Guthrie and other
towns long enough, by taking advan-
tage OF their misfortune in living such
q long distance from markets. When
their produce was sold the money was
spent for goods, and cheap. shoddy
stuff has often been palmed of as the
genuine article. chandler Democrat.
Guthrie continues TO suffer from the
actions Of two OF three raseals who
worked in the COTTON market here last
season, but the whole town should not
be made to suffer for the nefarious
schemes OF irresponsible firms. Guth-
rie is the best cotton market in the
territory and the top price is paid for
the staple As for Guthrie merchants,
those who advertise in the papers can
be commended for honest dealing
They are not in the "palming off,

w. A. HAyEMETER OF the great

that the price Of sugar was advancing

pnee Of household molasses has great
ly advanced aud closes his remarks by
saying that the glucose trust has sent
things whirllng upwards. This great
advance in the articles Of food OF daily
