BILE.
We have in Urbana and vicinity
many young men and boys Of sterling
worth and good habits. They are all
steadily growing and developing as
men of worth, and the community is
proud of them; but we have few
who, while they have reputable fam
lily connections and every opportunity
to lead honorable lives, have deliber-
ately and persistently chosen the
downward course, thinking it smart
to be regarded as chicken roasters and
tin-horn gamblers, meriting and re-
cciving the contempt Of all decent
people. They are no longer boys, but
they are a menace to the safety and
character Of all boys with whom they
come in contact. Their families may
possibly deserve some sympathy, but
this community would be improved if
they would emigrate.

Hurrah !! Hurrah /!

Chanute has two more big gas wells
both brought in the same day
Last Wednesday the Forest Oil
Company struck strong flow of gas
in their we'll across the river, and the
City struck an equally good one on the
Ditmars' farm this side of the river
and about mile away from the other
we'll.
This now proves to the doubling
Thomases that we have broad field
instead of little pocket.
Chanute is now on the high road to
prosperity and rapid development.
We need not now be afraid to assure
any manufacturing institution that
wants to come that we have abun-
dance Of gas for all that may apply.
Now, if the Standard people don't
want to sell, let us collect the money
they lawfully owe the city and put in
a plant of our own at once.
The council has given them just
and fair consideration and made
them most liberal offer. They have
perfect right to reject it, but the
council has no right to illy-dally any
further about the matter, and we
think they are unanimously of that
opinion themselves.

vouchsafed, but not recorded here, he
will be remembered kindly by all, and
regretted by the great majority.
The Erie mineral well is not prov.
ing such serious competition for the
doctors as was expected last spring.
The only diseases the water seems to
be good for are goitre and housemald's
knee, and they are not so very COM

The writer finds that he owes it to
Mr.. Leech, of Shiloh, to correct a
statement made last week. Mr.. Leech
has been nominated for office In Neo-
sho county but seven times. On the
other two occasions mentioned the
Office sought him but could not find
him. He really deserves considerable
credit for twice lodging a nomination
when it was looking for him. No
other populistin Kansas ever achieved
such a coup d'etat.

Business Sense

Do you think it would be sound
business Judgment for Mr.. ROsenthal
to discharge P. o. Barries, who has
been his chief clerk for sixteen years
or more and put an inexperienced man
in his place at the same salary =?
Would l.. II. Freeman entertain for a
minute a proposition to drop Mr.. r.
G. Anderson and attempt to put a
green man at the head of his shoe de-
partment, even at less salary?
Is it not customary among business
men to retain AL experienced, compe-
tent CLERK year after year, and does
he not grow in efficiency?
How would some of our good Santa
Fe conductors and engineers feel. who
have served the company faithfully
for long series of years and grown in
competency and efficiency, to be re-
placed by brakeman at the same
salary?
Do we select judge to accommo-
date some individual or to crafty
few dry goods box politicians Or do
we select him for his supposed ability
in the line of duty
We would save no money by putting
new man in, the salary remains the
same. The change would only be
detrlment to the service and delay
in the cause of justice till the new
man could learn the ropes.
Why should we not be guided in the
selection of our public officers by cor
rect business principles, especially in
matter of so much Importance as
district Judge?

CHAMPION IN SPELLING.
Judge Kelly of st. Joseph, Mo-, Never
Misses Word.

Lots of people can spell. Others
think they can, but here is a man who
is the champion of the United States.
He is Judge Henry S. Kelly of st.
Joseph, Mo.
When his law books were being put
in type at the old st. Joseph Steam
Printing Company the printers watch
ed his copy day after day, striving to
discover mistakes in photography, as
it was whispered around the office that
the Judge would pay $40 for every
mistake of that kind the printers could
find. Every man would bring his
dictionary around when the judges
copy came in, but never mistake did
they find. Three law books without
one mistake in spelling is a rarity in
fact it is unique, but the judge can
spell any word in the English Ian
guage.
The is in the ibles and the as in the
ables never bothered him in the least

CHAPTER XLVIH.

Lady Marion never did anything by
halves. 1t was seldom that her calm,
quiet nature was stirred, but when
that happened she felt more deeply,
perhaps, than people who express their
feelings with great ease and rapidity.
She was amused herself at her own
great liking for Madame Vanira. 1t
was the second great love of her life.
The first had been for her husband,
this was the next. She talked of her
necessarily, until even Lord Chandos
wondered and asked how it was.
81 cannot tell" she replied; thinl,
| am infatuated. am quito sure.
Lance, that If had been gentleman,
| should have followed Madame Vanira
to the other side OF the world. think
her, without exception, the most
charming woman in the world"
She raised her eyes with innocent
tenderness to his face.
Are you Jealous because love her
so much?" she asked.
He shuddered rs he heard the play
full, innocent words, so different from
) the reality.
Il should never be jealous OF you
Marion" he replied, and then turned
the conversation,
Nothing less than visit to Madame
Vanira would please Lady Chandos
She asked her husband II he would &C
to the Cedars with her, and wondered
when he declined. The truth was tina
he feared some chance recognition
some accidental temptation He daret
not SO, and Lady Marion looked very
disappointed,
Il thought you liked Madam,
| Nauira," she said Il am quite sure
Lance, that you looked as If YOU did

fused rehearing in the case of Joseph

Howard Butler of this city, defendants

several years ago. The two men were
convicted of removing brands and the
word "oleomargarine" from packages
containing that commodity. wilkins
was sentenced to imprisonment for six
months and to pay fine of $1,000 and
costs. Butler, who was an employe of

months and a fine of $500 and costs.

CHAPTER XLVlI.
The Compact of Friendship.

The Compact of Friendship.
The quadrllc had been danced, and
Leone said to herself that there was
more pain than pleasure In At, when
Lady Marion, with an unusual glow OF

pleasure of your society, but should
like to talk to You. have some
pretty things wnlch | have brought
from Spain, which | would like to
show you. Win It please YOU to come
with me, or do You care for danctng?
Leone smiled sadly. Tragedy and
comedy are always side by side, and
1t seemed to her, who had had so ter
rible tragedy in her liGc who stood
face to face with so terrible n tragedy
now, 1t seemed to her absurd that she
should think OF dancing.
IL would rather talk to YOU, she re.

two beautiful, graceful women loIt the
room together. Leone made some re
mark on the magnificence of the rooms
as they passed, and Lady ChandoS
smiled.

ever been done with the plant, save at
certain times, when the sugar trust
had large stock on hand the piers
were utilized for storage purposes.
Watchmen are still employed about
the premises and there is as much
secrecy today as there ever was. What
the ultimate outcome of this high
priced elephant of the sugar trust will
be it is hard to say, as they have re-
fused several offers for the property.
A brewery has been negotiating for
the purchase of it, but all offers have
received no consideration.

replied, gently.
"Why?" he asked, bending his hand
some head over her.
81 might make false excuses, put !

swered; 81 will not trust myself"
And when Leone took that tone Lord
Chandos knew that further words were
useless
"You will dance quadrille, 1T
least?" he asked. and she consented.
Then he offered his arm and they
walked through the room together.
The ballroom at Stoneland House
was a large and magnificent apart
mept: many people thought 1t she
finest ballroom in London. The I'M
mease dome was brilliantly lighted,
the walls were superbly painted, and
tier after tier OF superb blossoms l1lled
the room with exquisite color ana ex-
quisite perfume.
The ballroom opened into large
conservatory, which led to fernery,

grounds. Leone felt embarrassed
She longed to praise the beautiful
place, yet Il seemed to her II she did so
It would be like reminding him that 1T
ought to have been hers; while he on
the contrary, did not dare to draw her
attention to picture, flower, or statue,
lest she should remember that they
had been taken from her by great
and grievous wrong.
1--WE are not very cheerful friends,
he said, trying to arouse himself.
81 begin to think we have done
wrong In ever thinking OF friendship
at ALL" she replied
Lord Chandos turned to her sud
denly.
Leone" he said, you have made
q conquest Of my mother-you do not
know how she admlres you!'
A bitter smile curled the beautiful
lips.
1T Ia too late" she said sadly. ut
does not seem very long since she re-
fused even to tolerate me-
Lord Chandos continued:
"She was speaking about you yester-
day, and she was quite animated about
you. She praised you more than
have ever heard her praise any one
IL ought to feel flattered." said
Leone; "but 1t strikes me as being
something wonderful that Lady Lans-
we'll did not find out any good qualities
In me before"

she will learn to appreciate you
A sudden glow OF fire flashed IN
those superb eyes,

be able to pay my debt to Lady Lans-
well, and in what shape shall pay
it?"
He shudderod az he gazed in the
beautiful face.
TRY to forget that, Leone" he said.
II never like to remember that you
threatened my mother"
1--WE will not discuss It," she said
coldly. 1--WE shall never agree"
Then the orchestra began to play the
quadrilles. Lord Chandos led Leone

Wheat was variable, but mostly weaker

might have been, giving a slight decline
