A Tempest in a Teapot.

Our gentlemanly, dignified neighbor
delivered itself last week of the following
lofty, kind, truthful, veracious, gracious
and tender sentiment:
"The news of Judge Bucks decision
in the railroad bond matter was first
made known in Paw Paw through the
Northerner's bulletin. Northerner.
"The above is a base, unkind, untruth-
full, prevaricating malicious, mean, un-
gentlemanly, undignified, characteristic
ydra 1t was the Courier's little extra
that first conveyed the glad news to the
Paw Paw people, and the Northerners
little brown paper bulletin" didn't show
itself for some time afterwards. Wouldn't
anybody notice their bulletin" anyway
stuck up in the office window in the
Northerner's out-of-the way, obscure To-
cation"
The Northerner is almost ready to
propose change of its "out-of- theway
obscure" quarters for the wooden palace
of the Courier its landlord didn't OBJ
ject to the change.

Additional Local.
Paw Paw INDICATED.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of Van Buren, County High School Ath
letic association held at Lawrence, June
4, the following motion was unanimously
carried:
1.-THE board of directors of the Van
Buren, County H. S. A. A. thinks the &C
ton of the board at Hartford May %
1898, concerning the game of base bal
played May q, between the Decatur and
Paw Paw high school teams and pro
tested by Decatur, was hastily taken
and after a careful consideration of the
facts in the case, decides that the Ban
gor and Paw Paw high school teams be
authorized to play game of base ball
the disposition of the pennant remain
ng with Bangor
While the above decision technically
permits Bangor to keep the county pen
nant previously awarded -t the board
could not well revoke the award-it com
pIetely vindicates the Paw Paw boys
from the charge of unfairness, and rem
ders ridiculous the childish protest OF
Decatur after two honest defeats.
The game between Paw Paw and Ban
gor will be played at Bangor next Satur
day, and its result will fairly decide
which school has the best team in the
county.

The Lost Dime.

He tried at first to get the dime out
with his fingers, next he took his cane,
then his pocket knife. and he even
pressed into service the faSgers and knife
of the messenger boy sitting next him.
But it was no use. The dime would not
be lured from its resting place, and, be-
ing plainly ignorant Of cable car eti-
quette in such emergencies-namely,
asking the passengers to hold up their
feet while the whole section Of Slated
flooring Is lifted-he finally gave il u
and with very red face and muttere'
word left the car. His feet had hardly
left the step when the conductor came
quickly forward from the rear platform.
With the other passengers he had be-
fore this been disposed to smile at the
discontinue of the owner Of the dime,
but now his manner was changed. "All
that fuss over 10 cent piece" said the
conductor as he raised the flooring and,
picking up said 10 cent piece, dropped
it into his own pocket. New York Sun.

A Picture of China Today.

Mandarindom literally goeth about as
a roaring lion seeking what it can de-
your. Offices are held at fixed prices by
metropolitan and provincial authorities
taxes are collected in full, but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; 1.-THE big fish eat the little
fish, and the little fish eat mud" by
which simile the Chinese proverb ex-
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
No official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use of money, nor
retained without illegal practices. If
then nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China. what can be said about
the student class which is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people?
This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance they still speak of the "round
heaven and square earth" and dilate
upon the five elements.
Foreigners are still to them barbarians
who came to China to learn the laws of
propriety; the five great continents rep
resent only divisions Of ancient feudal
states tributary to their country, and
commerce is despised as only being tax
en- up by those who have not the men
tai power to master books. They wear
their large goggles, cultivate their fin
ger nails into enormous lengths, assume
the staggering gait with which Con-
fucius is said to have walked and have
a silent contempt for all but them
selves They regard woman as their in
ferior and rightful slave. North China

THs SAGEBRUSH.

When a Colorado morning the purple mists
unfold
And a phantom mirage picture Is on mountain
wall enscrolled.
Then the air from distant foothills is like odor
Of new wine.
And the breath from scrubby sagebrush is
more fragrant than the pine.
The eastern birding hies him TO forest deep
and wide.
On q tree tops highest branches he wooes his
feathered bride.
But the western songster MARBLES of "the land
that Is mine ain
From a clump Of pale green sagebrush on the
gently beloved plain.
The gaunt and long cared rabbits their longest
gallops gauge
To rest at home securely In their hutches
meath the sage,
And the coyote calls together all his gray and
willy train.
Swift shadows In the shadow Of the sagebrush
on the plain.
It's brave and woody armor the winters froos
dehes
And 10 clothes the lonely sand world with .
bonny sweet surprise.
Summer smiles upon Its prowess guarding
fields Of golden grain.
II is forest, grass and hedgerow to the Wild
and sandy plain.

M War WAN spaln.

The war with Spain began on April
q. 1898, aud lasting lis days closed
on August -, 1898. The actual OK
penee entailed was $150,000,OOO. The
United States lost SOB men killed,
l,465 wounded, while the Spanish
loss IS estimated OF 2,199 killed, and
2948 wounded. In losses OF ships
we escaped without any, while Spain
is ont thirty. five, and in addition will
suffer a loss Of territory with popu-
lation of milllons. Cuba has an area
Of 1,655 square miles and popula-
ton of 1881, 900; Porto Rico, 1910
miles, 8O6,7OO populations Guam, 100
square miles and 5000 people, and
the Philippines, 52,65O IN area, with
100000 Of people. The land for the
most part is not habitable by whites,
and the inhabitants are Of thelowesi

protection some improvement will be
made, but the climatic conditions are
such that the progress will be slow.

JUSTICE BAUM held court two
days this week in hearing a case
wherein II. E. Heth was plaintiff and
Walnut township was defendant. In
1894 numerous warrants were issued
on the township general fund. This
fund was moneylsss, and the warrants
so issued were registered for pay
ment. r. E. Heth snd W. d. Bovey
in the ordinary course OF business,
became the possessors Of some OF
these warrants. Now the township
has money enough to pay off some OF
these warrants and the holders Of
them presented them for payment,
which was refused by the treasurer.
Thereupon Mr. Heth and Mr.. Bovey
sued the township. The defense
claims the warrants were illegally
issued. The trial was holly contested
and after several motions, from each
side, the plaintiff demurred to the
bill of particulars Of the defendant,
stating that it did not show sufficient
cause for defense. The Court sus-
tanned the demurrer and gave judg-
ment for plaintiff in the sum- Of SILL
As, and coste. The township officers
have appealed from the Courts de-
Cision to the district court, which con-
venes in September. Frank Mckay
appeared for the plaintiff and W. H.
Pratt for the defense
