One of the questions to come be
fore the Grant county people at
this election is that Of providing
place for the taking care OF the
incurable insane, idiots and i'm
becils. 1t is urged that there is
a class of these unfortunates that
the county can provide for much
cheaper than is being done by
the state, and some good reasons
are presented on this side of the
case, as it would result in leaving
large part Of the money now
expended for this cause in our
own county, the intention being
to have the county take charge
OF those who are not violent, but
rather idiotic or feeble minded,
Of which there are quite nun
Der at the state institution from
here. On the other hand it is a
question that should the county
EN- bark on this line if the at
tendant expenses following the
care Of the inmates would not be
greater than is now anticipated
There is probably something O
value in the proposition, bu
whether the plan is yet feasible
is a debatable question.

Freight Wreck.

A bad wreck occurred to a
freight train going east last Sat
urday night about nine 0 clock
between Big Stone City and Or
tonville. The train was double
header in charge Of Conductor
Will Crooker. The train was a
heavy one, having some 90
cars AS it was running down
the long heavy grade at Big
Stone, the first engine exploded
some torpedos on the track.
Not knowing how near they
might be to the section ahead,
the first engineer WhlStled tor
brakes aud the second engineer
applied the air so sharply that an
old boarding car, which was be
ing taken from the Missouri eX
tension was pinched i'll the center
of the train and jumped the track
aud twenty other cars followed 4.
The accident occurred at the same
place the company suffered 4
$1,000 wreck some two weeks
ago. Eleven Of the cars were
loaded with wheat and flax and a
large amount Of the grain VIII be
lost. About a dozen of the cars
will be a total loss.

AUTHORS TAKE WARNING.
Your Publishers May Get Damages II
You Put Upon Them q Badly
Written Book.

curious case between publisher and
author came co conclusion with
verdict that was substantially, if not
technically, for the author. The pub
listers get 25 cents instead Of the $770
they claimed. The author gets the 1928
of his counterclaim for final payment
due under the contract.
y The publishers sued the defendant be-
cause a work on Imperial Britain"
which they had employed him to
write, contained good many inaccura-
cies. 1t was, in consequence, they said,
unfavorably received, and they lost
money by it.
But the weak point of their case was
that they passed it for publication with
all its inaccuracies, and evidently with
out any reading" worthy of the name.
They were thus on the horns Of a diem
ma. If they had read it, they were re-
sponsible for its errors. If they had not,
they had little right to complain.
The defendant really seems to have
erred by excess of zeal. He consulted so
many books of reference on the subject
that he got them mixed. He had given
to Wales Merthyr Tydil for a capital.
and had set down china clay, soda, ar
senic and EPSON salts under building
stones. An carthworm wormed itself
in among his "reptiles," and he Writ u-
ally granted the Isle of Man it's indie
pendence by failing to include it among
the British isles.
On these points he made the most
handsome acknowledgements. The ar
senic and the salts got in through q
mistake in the numbering. A mistake
of that kind would account for any
thing. With their peculiar system OF
revision, the publishers ought to have
congratulated themselves that bricks
and mortar did not get in among the
medicines.
! In regard to another blunder, he de
clined, with charming candor, to defeno
! the statement that Pretoria was tn,
/ capital Of British Zambesia. Yet i
! might have been, if some of us hat
had their way with the Transvaal.

would bear editing in open court?-

The English promoters" don't leave
the London market long without some
thing to be interested in. Now new
class of stocks called "Ashantis" is at
tracing attention and money there.
These stocks are based on the Gold
Coast in Africa and on the skill and
gall Of promoters in London. For hun
| dreds of years gold has been obtained
from the Gold Coast but little mining
has been done hitherto by reason of the
opposition of hostile natives, the want
of means of transportation and the
deadly malaria. These obstacles are now
being removed. The war with the
Ashantis has broken the power Of that
people so that prospecting and working
in the gold country are much facilitated.
The roads constructed into the interior
by the colonial authorities and the rail
road now in preparation are further
steps toward development of the mining
industry. The malaria remains, but re-
cent studies show that even in West
Africa it can be escaped by Europeans
if they will avoid the huts of the ma
tiyes, destroy mosquitoes where they
can with petroleum and use mosquito
nets day and night. In anticipation Of
better times for the gold mining indus
try numerous mining claims have been
located and companies have been organ
lied to work them. A syndicate which
has for some time been quietly conduct
ing explorations by boring at various
places reports the discovery Of a forma-
ton very similar to the formation a
extending over an area
of some twenty-seven square miles.
Now that capital is being literally sub
scribed and local circumstances are at
length favorable, the Gold Coast will, it
is believed again demonstrate it's title
to its name.
If the "Ashantis' make half as much
stir as the "Kaffirs" did they will make
and if they ruin as many as the
'Kaff1rs" did they will ruin enough. 1t
will be as hard for the outsider to pick
out the good Ashantis as 1t was for him
to pick out the good Katfirs.

THE FRI NKLIN INSTITUTE.

If Benjamin Franklin is so fortu-
nately situated that he can know what
is going on in Boston he is perhaps
interested in the disposition of the fund
which bears his name. This fund, now
amounting to 1855, $50, is the accumula-
ton of a century's interest on $4,000
| hequeathed to the city of Boston by
Franklin, who provided in his will that
at the end of a century the money
should be used for public works. The
one hundred years ended on January
II, 1894, and although frequent at
pose of the fund, it has been impossi-
BILE to get the managers of the fund
as to how the money should be spent.
Now a committee of the council, act
ing with the managers, has agreed to
recommend that the money be used for
the erection of a building, to be known
as the Franklin Institute, which shall
have quarters for a branch of the pub
lie library, and shall be devoted gener-
ally to the promotion of educational
measures of two principal kinds, name
ly, those looking to general education,
by classes and lectures in history and
in political and social science, and those
looking to theoretical and practical in
struction in such of the applied arts
and sciences as are best calculated to
stimulate and widen the intelligence
cultivate the taste, enhance the skill,
and increase the efficiency of the peo-
pie of Boston, special regard being
given to those who are artisans.
Boston has finally acted wisely in
this important matter. although 1t has
been a long time about it. But better
late than never At one time 1t looked
as if the discussion would be as long
and as fruitless as New Haven dis |
cussions are.
