We feel like making an apology.
Our conscience smites us like a trip
hammer-no, ours is too small for that
comparison to suit-so we will only say
| it picks us like pin. But we did say
mean things about the open winter
prophets in our last edition, and we
take it all back i'll this issue. Such fine
days as we have had since are astonish-
ing and must be due to these open
winter seers and we humbly beg their
pardon.
There is one thing this administra-
ton must do to retain our solid sup
port. Perhaps there are two. for we
would like the powers that be to take
care of the Utah congressman and his
numerous wives. Butwe have one alb
solute condition, otherwise we're sour.
We must have law passed making it
sure death for any man to get up
new "rigamajig" for pantaloon suspen-
ders. Each new pair we get has a new
kink in the buckles, and it takes us
months to learn the combination.
1t will not be a surprise to any who
are at all familiar with the good quail
tiles of Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
to know that people everywhere take
! pleasure in relating their experience
in the use of that splendid medicine
and in telling of the benefits they have
received from it, of bad colds it has
cured, of threatened attacks of pneu-
monia it has averted and of the child
rem it has saved from attacks of Group
and whooping cough. 1t is grand,
good medicine. For sale by Staley d
McKeth.
Lookout for change of weather and
then look into your coal bin and figure
out the cost of your winters fuel. Fig
ures won't lie. If you find it to be
dead sure thing that between the coal
combine and away below zero open
winter, you are sure to be stiff before
spring anyway, don't prolong the ag-
ony. Hang yourself this fall ere the
ground is frozen and the grave digger
must die in his efforts to properly plant
you. Besides all this, you will get rid
of kindling fires all winter, and your
wife can lay aside her widows weeds
in time to procure your successor ere
spring work begins.
Wednesdays morning papers told of
the death of Vice President Hobart at
his home In New jersey. He has for
long time been sufferer from kid
ney trouble, but not until the past few
months has the disease assumed an
alarming form. For many weeks the
whole nation has eagerly read the dis
patches which told his state. Mr.. Ho-
bart was clean and upright politician,
and as man had many warm personal
| friends. His noble life had won him
sure place in the national heart. BY
his death the Office he held has become
vacant, and if Mckinley should die,
the Secretary of State would be Presi-
dent until the next Inauguration day.
The year 1900 will not, as many sup
pose, be a leap year. The cause of
this seemingly singular happening is
due to the fact that each year does not
contain 1861 days as is generally stated
but only 1862 days, hours, 4S minutes
and 49.7 seconds. In century there
are "a days, 8 hours, % minutes and 90
seconds more than there would be if
each year contained 465 days exactly.
This makes "a leap years during one
century instead OF % as is generally
believed. Therefore only such century
years that are divisible by 400 are leap
years, or only when the hours, minutes
and seconds remaining over from one
century to another amount to one day.
The last century year that was leap
year was the year 1000.
