THERE are many things TO indicate
another real estate and building boom
during the next few years, The big
boom some fifteen years ago was pre-
coded by a cattle boom, On the col
lapse Of the cattle boom came the in
hux of settlers, the rise Of real estate
and the boom in building. For sew
eral years we have been experiencing
much the same activity in the cattle
market, The indications now are
strong for decline, The railroads
are beginning to boom immigration
and while some building has already
been done, much more is being planned,
The good crops Of the past few years
have given a renewed confidence in the
resources Of the country, Considera-
blereal estate has been changing hands
with prices increasing which gives u
natural tendency to speculation, 1t
is not at all likely that the country
will ever again experience the degree
of reckless speculation aud extrava-
CANT hopes aS In the old boom, but a
repetition Of IL on somewhat smaller
scale Will not be ut all surprising. We
are rising on the extreme of confidence,
and confidence when once established,
requires something strong to remove
1t, just rs IL requires much to restore
1t when once DESTROYED. But 1t is an
old law Of physics that action is equal
to reaction and in an opposite direction
The same is ruein economies. Booms
in the long run are not good for the
country.

The governor and his associates in
the executive council are now busy in
making recommendation Of law to be
passed to save the State. There are q
very few good recommendation con-
corning the consolidation of certain
boards,et which will in all probability
never be acted upon and not many
things recommended that will do much
harm, But are there any recommen-
dations Of any measures to curtail the
eXtortions of the corporations, or to
compel them to contribute any larger
amounts to the government that gave
them life and protects their property
Anything along the line of the legis-
lation passed by the special session of
the populist Legislature which is now
compelling them to pay more than
flOO, 900 per year to the support of the
State than they had formerly done?
Well hardly. That would hardly be
gratitude to the fellows that contri-
buted to the campaign fund. And
frankly we must say it would not be
along the line Of their campaign prom

TUE Barton County Beacon and sew
eral other papers that have been run
ming at q dollar n year subscription
price have on account Of the great in
crease Of all printers materials and
paper stock, decided TO increase the
price Of their papers to one dollar and
hfty cents, Such action Is In truth
jnstiAable. There are yet few pap
ers that reduced the subscription
price during the low prices of u few
years ago to llfty cents and are stick
ing to 1t. How they can do 1t, except
they are run in connection with II daily
aud live is rather hard proposition to
understand. However as the GAZETTE
stuck TO the price Of one dollar
through the low prices 1t will not raise
now that prices are higher, not unless
prices should go much higher than
they are now. But running on these
trust inflated prices for all our sup
piles without AN increase for the sub
scription makes it necessary that sub
scriptions be paid up.

Something near TWO years ago two
families In KinRman county quarreled
over the killing Of dog, The man
who killed the dog WAS named Bomar,
In the row that followed he was killed
by Allie Hewes, Both he and his
father were arrested and the boy was
convicted and sent to the reformatory
in this place. Buttwo or three weeks
ago he WAS released on u writ of hab-
cas- corpus and then paTdoned by the
governor so he could testify In the
trial against his father which came off
In Wichita last week on change OF
venue. The court sustained demurrer
claiming that the evidence was INSULT
Client to show that the father had con.

row. But the opinion may be safely
expressed that that was a very expen-
sive dog to both parties. Probably it
was curr dog too.

A Snake That Crows.

There exists In Venezuela species

and crafty character. This snake ut

ca of cock crow. The unwary travel.

toward the spot, when the snake darts
out and stings the unfortunate man
with its terrible forked tongue. II not

affirm that II a rattlesnake is captured

rest until II has sought out the man
that committed the theft and exacted
vengeance for the robbery.
They cite instances of men who have
taken the rattles and gone far journeys
only to be followed by the Infatuated
snake and killed. Whether there Is any
truth In this is a matter Of conjecture.
III half the tales that are told have any
truth in them. 1t would seem superf1u-
Gus to gainsay the superstition.

The Ionia County newspapers are
energetically discussing the question
as to the proper division OF the probate
printing in that county. In this coun-
ty, Judge Jewell has decided that peo-
pie doing business in the probate office
have right TO designate the papers in
which the advertising for which they
must pay shall be printed. The Ledg-
er believes this is the only just meth
cd. The idea of converting the money
of widows and orphans into political
pap, is contrary to sense and justice.
The above is from'the columns of the
democratic Lowell Ledger, and Judge
Jewell is the republican probate
nudge of Kent county. This comedies
exactly with the position taken by the
BANNER, and to the writer's personal
knowledge has been practiced by pro
bate judges of both parties in Kent
county for many years at least. We
believe that it is right and should be
practiced by all judges whether elect
upon the republican or democratic
ticket, and that is why we condemn
the narrow partisanship displayed by
Judge Wilson.

IONA COUNTY WIDE AWAKE.

The Grand Rapids Herald has been
having a staff correspondent make a
little circle around in western Mich
igan and write up the political situa-
ton as he found it. From the work OF
his pen we CLEAN the following regard
ing our own county. He says: Ionia
county republicans expect to give Con-
gresham William Alden Smith and
the whole republican ticket majority
OF between 800 and l 200 at the Novem-
Der election. They have reasons to
expect the election OF their county
senatorial and representative tickets
by majorities ranging between those
figures. The county is well organized
and the party has put strong tickets ia
the field.
George K. Nichols, chairman of the
county committee, is one OF the bes,
organizers in Michigan, and he and
his fellow workers are putting up a
campaign that will win. Mr.. Nicho' 6
was chairman of the county committee
two years ago, and 1t was through hi,
ability as an organizer that the county
was wrested from the free silverites il
1898.
There is no detection in the party,
and full republican vote will be poll
ed. Beside the entire party vote, Nc
Kinlev and Smith will draw sunpor,
from the opposite party. Congress

than he ever was before. Stronger

When you hear certain political
speakers rant against expansion with
out the consent of the governed, please
remember that the six additions to
this country previous to the war of the
rebellion, were all under democratic
administrations; two Of them we're
forcible expansions and all but one
were without the consent Of the gov
erned. Also that the democrat party
in 1860 demanded the control OF Cuba
and that without the consent OF the
governed.

1T is amusing says the Portland
Observer, Ito see how much sympathy
the Ionia Standard and other papers

republican who failed to receive re-
nomination for the legislature In the
Western district of Ionia county.
Their agitation is really pitiful and
pitaole. However, The Observer
doubts il it will have the desired effect
this hypocritical display OF sympa-
thy. If what the Observer learns
about the matter is true, John Mick,
who was nominated in Mr.. Locher's
place, will have big majority"

Chinese Pulse Feeling.


The Chinese physicians, it is well
known, have long had the credit Of
paying very particular attention to the
pulse. They even pretend to derive a
much more minute and accurate knowl-
edge of the state of the sick from that
source than European practitioners lay
any claim to.
The patient is directed to be laid in
bed, with his arm resting on small
cushion. The physician must bs seat
ed. and both parties are enjoined to re-
main calm, silent and collected. The
fingers are next to be applied in due
succession, one after another, in order
to judge Of the compressibility of the
artery.
The Chinese do not infer solely from
the rapidity Of the pulsations. Their
mode is to compare the number of pull
sations Of the artery with. the intervals
of the respiration of the patient. The
number Of pulsations Of man in mod
crate health they consider In relation
to the time of a natural inspiration and
expiration. Four beats Of the pulse
during this period they consider as in
dicating perfect health. If it exceeds
five pulsations, 1t is considered as too
quick; If under that number, as too
slow respecting good health. 1t is re-
quired to reckon so pulsations in order
to form a correct indication. Their
chief divisions of the pulse are four
