lie FOUND THEM.

It is told of President Ruth
eriord B. Hayes, in Current Lit
erature, that while attending
school at Kenyon College, he
WAS in the habit Of taking daily
walks into the country. These
trips were shared by two intimate
companions, who were of a fun
loving disposition, which fire.
quently got them into trouble,
On one occasion they more than
met their match at repartee in an
old farmer, whom they met on
the highway, The long white
beard Of the farmer gave him a
patriarchal appearance, and
while he was approaching the
students they arranged to give
him a '.jollying," " which eventu-
ally terminated in the discomfit-
ure of the youths.
One Of them doffed his hat
with great reverence and respect
as he said, "Good morning,
Father Abraham!"
The second saluted the old
farmer and said, "Good morning,
Father Isaac!"
Mr.. Hayes, not to be outdone
in affability and poIiteness, ex-
tended his hand as he said,
"Good morning, Father Jacob!''

THE AMENDM MENTS.

There is no longer any doubt
as to the fate Of the amendments
| to the constitution submitted tc
the people by the last legislature.
The first (llnown as amendment
No. y provides for a railroad
commission, and the second
amendment No. 81 provides that
counties may levy road tax OF )
mills, with the consent Of the
people, The railroad commission
northumberland in every coun-
ty. While many voters did not
vote on this question, it has a
clear majority Of all the votes
cast. Tho same can be said Of
the road amendment.
BY amendment No 4 it will be
the duty Of tho next general as
sembly to enact railroad COM
mission law. No one desires to
do injustice to existing railroads
nor provont the building Of new
lines, and in framing a law we
have no doubt these facts will be
kept in mind. A good COM
mission law will protect not only
tho people from unjust discrimina-
tons in freight charges but will
likewise be beneficial TO Che roads.
Not long ago, in talking with
Col. Fordyee, president Of the
Cotton Belt road, on this subject
he seemed rather to favor than
to oppose such o measure. A
wise law may be framed which
will prove beneficial to everybody
to the existing roads, now
enterprises and the people gen
orally.
The road amendment is q step
ia tho direction Of better roads,
When once put in operation in
tho different counties, and tho
money collected is judiciously
expended, better highways will
gradually take tho place of many
bad roads Of which every county
has moro or less,
In the ratification Of these
amendments the people have
shown chat they arc fully alive to
their interests and the interests OF
tho stote.-Ga2ette.

a year or SO ago Sheriff G. A.
Ta& Ft. Of Montgomery county,
gave pgta story to the effect thas
ne h buried about 81 800 Of the
state money under an old tree.
The 1ae was ignited by the burn
ing some underbrush in its
vicirEy and the money was de-
shoyod. He went before the
Legislature with this story and
askel to be relieved OF immediate
settlt ment for the amount de-
stroGad Thus the incident was
clos5a and the matter was most
forgotten. Now comes the excla-
matiAl that Mr.. Tackott is short
in hF settlement with the state
and That a distress warrant has
been issued ;in his case. Two
years ago the surides on the bond
Of SlFariat Reb Houpt, of Garland
courey, had to make good a
shortage Of several thousand dol
lars which at the time was un-
derstood to have been caused by
the failure Of a bank in which
the Sheriff had deposited public
fundb. Now comes the report
that~th9 commissioners Of ac-
counts have again found Mr.,
Houg short, and this time it is
said he will be called on to ex-
plain the absence j.. $4,000.
We regret exceedingly such oc-
ourrences. They are hard to ex-
plain to the outside world and
unpleasant things for the news
papers to handle. They make
trouble for the communities in
which they occur and bring mis-
fortune TO private citizens who
are innocent { { any wrongdoing,
The first remedy is to require all
sheriffs and public officials who
handle public monies to give a
bond made by some responsible
SUI wv company. Then if there
is Ills loss it will not fall on pri-
vdSe Citizens, and il a wrong has
been done the surety company !
will see to it that the case is Wig
orously prosecuted Arkansas

Many years ago the New
Jersey cities, then mere towns or
villages, were agitated by the
oloquence of a temperance orator,
says writer in q temperance
organ. In his unregenerate days
the orator in question had him.
self been over addicted to the
cheering cup. This fact which
was well known, Of course, lent
interest to his appearance and
fervor to his words. One night
at the close Of a stirring address
on temperance a heartless men,
bor of the audience sent to the
platform Of tho tired and thirsty
speaker what appeared to be an
innocent glass of milk. In reality
it was milk punch. The victim
raised tho glass to his lips, hes
itatod, and was lost. Then,
draining tho glass to the last
drop, he placed it on the table
in front Of him with tho audible
and emphatic remark, Lord,

MORNING MILL BURNED.
Fire at MuIIan Throws Three Hun
dred Men Out of Work.

Wallace, Idaho, April lS.-The concen-
traitor of the Morning Mining Company
is a heap smoldering ruins. About 10
o clock last night fire started on the
ground floor presumably from stove
used for heating, it being the only fire in
the building and in an hour the concen-
TRAITOR, ore bin and part of the railroad
track were destroyed.
The long building sloping up the hill
seemed to act as chimney and when
the fire was discovered it rushed upward
so rapidly that the employees had barely
time to escape. The fire was visible here,
but it was over SO soon that it was gen
orally thought to be some buildings in
town until the telephone office opened
this morning.
Persons who were on the ground de-
scribe the fire as something terriIc. The
roof was covered with corrugated iron
but so great was the draft that those
iron sheets were lifted like shingles 800
or 400 feet into the air.
The mill was built in 1892 costing or
iginally about $4,000. Improvements

$4,000 having been spent on it during the
past year, and the total cost to date has
not fallen much short of $l25,000, al
though it could probably be duplicated
now for 100000. Sixty thousand dol
lars in insurance was carried, distributed
among Y different companies.
Both Peter Larsen and T. L. Greenough,
the principal owners, were on the ground
at the time of the fire, having come from
Milwaukee to settle with the employees
regarding the recent demand for an in
crease of wages. They propose to rebuild
Immediately, commencing work as soon
as the work of the insurance adjusters
is completed.
To rebuild will require not less than six
and probably as much as eight months,
during which time the 300 men employed
will be laid off, except a few to care for
the mine and do development work.

ROOSEVELT TO GO TO FRONT.
In Case of War He VIII Enter the
Army.

Washington, April. lS.-Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt will probably resign his office
as assistant secretary of the navy in case
of hostilities with Spain to accept com
mand for active service in the army,
Nothing definite has yet been decided
upon as to what assignment he will ac-
cept, but it is believed he would prefer
to serve with the New York state troops.
From the beginning of the present ditil-
culties with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt has been
prominent among those who believe war
is the only solution of the problem, and
since the disaster to the Maine his adj
vice to the president and members OF the
cabinet has uniformly been for immediate
action against the Spaniards with the full
power of the army and navy. He has
never doubted that the Spaniards were
responsible for the wreck Of the Maine
and believes that act fully justified an I'M
mediate declaration of war
