Young Dick Hershman, son OF D .
W. Hershman, of Holden, met with
an unfortunate accident just east OF
Miller Monday night. In company
with other boys, he started for home
in wagon late at night. BY some
sudden jolt he was thrown out of the
wagon and broke his left leg above
the knee. Assistance was summoned
and he was brought to town to the
residence OF q. c. Briggs, where his
sister, Miss Minnie Hershman resides.
DR.. Lane was snmm oned, set the leg
and in the bright moonlight the
young boy was placed in a wagon
and taken home. He is II years old +,
but he stood the operation like lit
tie soldier, and with his good nerve
and strong body he will soon pull
through all right.

WE have received copy Of Costigan's Week
ly. On the first page was this item: 'rhs
paper is paid for' Who paid for it? This is
a question that has been asked us by some of
our readers who are receiving it, although they
have not subscribed for it. The only answer
we can give is, The Republican state commit
tee. By the way, it is funny to see Republic
ans circulating Costigan's paper. There was
time when a Republican wouldn't touch with
pair of tongs anything that had Costigan's ear
marks on it. It's different now. Costigan's
Weekly reminds us of paper once published
at Okoona, Mississippi, by Will H. Herman.
1t was called the Southern States, and was pub
ished during the Garfield campaign. 1t was
the cred hottest" rebel sheet ever published in
the South. No Southern paper during the
Civil war ever said such bitter things against
the North, or against the government, as were
said by Herman in the Southern States. Yet,
he was not Southern man, by birth or educa-
ton He was Northerner in sentiment. He
was bright fellow, though (Which cannot be
said of Costigan) just the chap the Republic
ans needed to do their dirty work. The Re-
publican national committee sent him down to
Okolona to run the Southern States. The pa
per was sent to every Republican sheet in the
North, and these papers copied copously from
it every week during the campaign. The Gar.
nett Plaindealer (then under its old manage
ment) was one of the papers that copied from
Kernan's editorial columns w. O. Champe
wac foreman IN the P1audea1er office at that
time. Well, as soon as the campaign was over,
the publication of the Southern States stopped,
and Herman came north He started a paper
in Leavenworth, but it didn't live long-it
hadn't the Republican committee behind it, to
pay the bills Herman drifted to St. Louis, and
started another paper. 1t soon kerAunmixed.
Kernan is-wel, he dropped out OF sight.

WE met two "drummers," or commercial
travellers, on the train few days ago, and
they were discussing the tariff. One was a
protectionist and the othet free-trader. The
protectionist talked glibly OF protecting the
American laborer against the 'pauper labor of
Europe" protecting our "infant industries, :"
etc. "You talk about pauper labor and infant
industries and pauper labor" said the free
trader ''You say we can't compete with this
pauper labor. Why, tell you, my house sells
goods in South America and Europe cheaper
than we sell the same goods here at home. l
guess these infant industries are not very
much in need of protection against the pauper
labor of those countries Eyes" said the
protectionist; chats fact. Why, my house
sends harvesters clear over to Austrla-the
same class of goods sold here, only hner-hnish-
ed, and sells them at about half the price they
get here" Here the train stopped, and the
drummer" got off, and we don't know wheth-
er they continued their discussion or not

TOO MUCH FREEDOM.

Last Friday, while returning from Fl. Scott,
the writer heard two young men from the East
discussing the war. Both were loud in their
praise of Mckinley and Alger and their policy,
and they condemned, in unmeasured terms, the
critics of those two officials-the President and
his friend Alger. They were especially hard
on the papers that have been exposing the
criminal mistakes of certain persons who con-
Quoted the war. One young nan-from Ohio
grew loud in his denunciation of the papers,
and said: ''We have too much freedom IN this
country! There ought to be law to punish
the publishers of such stuff. We ought to
have press censorship like they have in Eu-
rope-and we'll have it, too, before long,"
"That's what" said the other young man.
Here the brakeman poked his head in at the
door and yelled, "Garnett!" and the writer
got off the train.
