HUNTED DUCKS WITH CLUBS.
A Story Told Of Settler Nesr Sullivan
Lake who Killed Duo1s With
,,r Club.

A hunting story is told by couple
of gentlemen. who recently returned
from a trip to Sullivan and Platte
lakes, that sounds q little bitstrong>
but nevertheless, the gentleman
claims that it Is the truth. i
A gentleman from this city who
has been on Il cruising trip in the
northeastern part OF the county told
the story. He says that he and the
state cruiser were looking at some
timber near Little Rock lake and
saw flock OF ducks light In the lake.
After completing their work they re-
turned to the lake. A farmer named
Sims and his son, who live in that
locality, hac reached the lake in the
meantime and were amongst the
ducks With clubs killing them. He
says that they killed all the ducks in
! the flock but three, filling two SACKS.
| ID. sHatton was in the vicinity at
the time and says although he did
not see the farmer when he was kill.
fng the ducks, he saw the game Ia
the sacks and was told the story BY
Sims OF how he killed them. -, {.
OF course, this story is doubted by
many OF the old hunters: In this 10
4 cality, but nevertheless, the gentle
men cay it is true. The only thing
the gentlemen can think Of that y
|could have made the ducks go easy
i to catch. was that they lighted iir

IHE republican nomination for sena.
tor in this district seems to be a puzzler
TO the push. A few weeks ago Hon.
Fred Washbon could have had it for
the asking, but now we are informed
he won't have 1t even if it should be
presented to him on golden platter.
There are others, though, who are will
ling to be sacrificed. Fred Ellis. of
Medicine Lodge, accompanied by Raplh
H. Faxon, Congressman Longs pri-
vate secretary, was in Anthony tins
week letting tie boys know that he is
candidate for the nomination. Ellis
IS son of ex Judge Ellis, and those
who know, say that he broke into the
republican camp only about two wears
ago. We are Informed that S. G. Lo.
baugh. of Harper, is also a candidate.
and he has the advantage oyer Ellis in
age and prior service in his party.
Somebody must be sacrificed and why
not Ellis. He's young, and under the
guidance of Chester, perhaps he could
show the party strength in the dis
trict.-Anthony Bulletin.

SLAVES SHOULD NOT READ.

Swift u Co., of Chicago, have issued
Imperative orders that none of their
5000 employees shall bring any papers
to the establishment. Many men spent
the dinner hour reading. Reading is
bad for slaves. You know the south
ern states made it felony to teach ne
groes to read. 1t is now proposed to
force the white men to quit reading.
They might learn something. OF
course the influence on their votes has
nothing to do with this order! OF
course not! 1t is done under the cover
OF the slaves wasting some of their
time. The order does not apply to the
men in the offices. They are the slave
drivers and being given better pay will
usually serve the masters and be
against their brothers who haye to do
the hard productive labor. Now,
slaves vote for the men who want YOU
TO be Ignorant as plantation negroes.
Vote the same ticket as your million.
a1re masters. Vote like you have all
your lives and which has reduced you
to the mean conditions of having your
masters refuse you the privilege of
reading with your dinners. After you
are reduced little lower in the scale
OF slavery you will be denied to take
any papers home except as your mas
ters are pleased to have you read. And
you will keep ON voting for the kind of
men who till the offices of the big mas.
tiers until they will pass laws that will
disfranchise you and then You. will not
have the fine fun of putting piece of
paper into box to elect them. They Will
elect themselves without your ballot. 1t
has been done many times before by a
foolish people who voted as others had
trained hem.--Appeal to Reason.

A lot of fool republicans
are denying that the govern.
ment pays interest on the
bonds it issues and then pays
the national banks the full
amount of the bonds in bank
notes. That shows how ig.
norant they are of what their
party has been doing. The
government has always paid
back 80 per cent of the face
of bonds while paying the
holders interest on the full
amount, but the last congress
swiped the 10 per cent
and pay the banks the full
amount of the bonds in bank
notes. You can bet on this
statement and win. Ask any
national banker, and if he
denies it, write the secretary

it wants to part company
with him this year. The Is

pill for the World and it
doesn't support Bryan very
enthusiastically on account
of it. And this is one reason

A NEW RAILROAD TO SAN FRANCISCO

The newly completed extension of
the Santa Fe Route through the San
Joaquin Valley to San Francisco was
opened for passenger business on July
1, 1900.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
hallway has heretofore possessed the
distinction of being the only line with
its own track and trains all the way
from Chicago to Los Angeles and San
Diego. San Francisco and the impor.
tant cities of the San Joaquin Valley
are now added to the vast territory
served.by this great transportation sys-
tenn under one management, which ter
ritory also includes large part of the
region between Denver on the north.
and Galveston ON the SOUTH
Stress is laid upon single ownership
and management. which insure uni
form excellence of service. Overland
trains by this route do not miss con-
nection, because they run through.
The eating house and dining car SER
vice is one of the same superior quail
lty throughout, under management of
MIR. Fred Harvey. The best equip
ment is provided. Employees are every
where solicitous and courteous. Re-
sponsibillty for the comfort of pasSen-
gers is not divided.
No other trauscontinental route Of
ters so great number of attractions
to the tourist. Among these are moun
tain altitude and scenery, extinct vol
canos, petrified forests. prehistoric ru-
ms. Indian puebIos, the Yosemite. and
the Grand Canon of Arizona, which is
the greatest scenic wonder of the world.
Every characteristic phase of indus
trial life in the West is traversed en-
route.
The Santa Fe has long been the ia
yorite route between the East and
Southern California. By virtue of the
same high grade service and unexcelled
attractions it hopes to win equal favor
with travellers to and from San Fran

Golden State.

It is claimed that the pau
per bills allowed at the recent
meeting of the commissioners
covers only those bills con-
tracted before the purchase
of the poor farm and that
no bills have been allowed
for paupers since that time.
The poor farm was purchased
May l, 1900, and it is fair to
presume that the pauper
bills were all paid at the
April meeting. This would
leave one month of pauper
goods to be met at the July
meeting. The amount ex-
pended for paupers at the
July meeting, exclusive of
invalid paupers in hospitals
abroad, is s433.43. The poor
farm together with heredita-
ments and appurtenances
thereunto appertaining cost
the sum of $2979.5O. The la
Dor and improvements on the
farm since the county pur-
chased it, amount to S2O4.06,
making a grand total pauper
bill since May 1st, of 1876
SO. This pauper business
has already proved an expen-
sive luxury.

The advantage of Position.

The late Charles Radon Sturgeon
was not one of those geniuses who
suddenly become a revelation to their
friends, As a child he was exceed
ingly intelligent, and his subsequent
development was continuous. His
schoolmaster looked to him whenever
a question had long gone unanswered.
One winters day, however, when the
weather was bitter cold, a change
seemed to come over the boy. His
answers went wide of the mark. Soon
he dropped to the bottom of the class
and stayed there The teacher was
puzzled; his prize pupil seemed to
have lost every spark of intelligence.
But as ne thought, he noticed that
Sturgeon, at the foot of the class, sat
right in front of the stove. 1t took
but a moment to re-arrange the pupils
The head boy was given the warm
seat, and Sturgeon was placed next
the window. Then the questions be-
gan again. The change was COM
plete. From that moment Spurgeon
did not hesitate fer the right answer.
Five minutes later he was once more
at the head of the class, sitting in
front of the stove.-Youth's Com
