BURR's FIGHT AGAINST FATE



ing Sorrows Of His Life Came.
"Aaron Burr was 60 years old when
he resolved once more to battle with
fortune" writes William Perrine in
The Ladies' Home Journal. "Going
quietly into New York, he opened an
office for the practice Of law and in q
fortnight had earned $4,000 in fees.
But hardly had he written to his
daughter about his luck when there
came from South Carolina the news
that her beautiful boy, who had been
the idol of the ambitious statesman,
was dead.

mitted to be thrust on tho people by
fair managers who thus shamelessly
traffic in indecency.
The time has passed for soft words.
Repeated warnings have not secured
abatement of this offense against public
decency and it is now time to act. The
Gazette has urged its constituency to
support the county fair. 1t now earn
estly counsels every reader to refrain in
every way from lending countenance or
support to fairs that for the sake of the
beggarly pittance of privilege money,
permits such harpies to prey upon the
public. Where 1t is possible to invoke
the statutes to suppress such indecen.
cies We advise that complaint be lodged
and warrants sworn out and the gates
of the fair be closed by officers of the
law. If this cannot be done every man
who demands clean moral atmosphere
for bis family should shun such fairs as
he would pest-house. If he is prosi
pective exhibitor, he should notify the
authorities that his exhibits will bo
Withdrawn II such offensive shows are
allowed, and in every way manifest tan
gible disapproval of the traffic in i'm
morality In which Indifferent or reckless
fair managers are now indulging. Let
there be concerted effort on the part of
the leaders of sentiment In commune
ties and this offense will cease. The
fair that cannot run without the aid of
revenues from such disgusting and de
moralizing side-shows should die. FL
nancial gain does not justify the spread
Of moral pestilence. Evidently those
who are responsible for the infliction on
the public of such hideous exhibitions
are too hardened in conscience to feel
q sense Of responsibility. Let them feel
the force of the club of public opinion.

be men who are now young, poor and
obscure, striving against obstacles that
seem insuperable to enter in at the
the straight gate that leads to fame and
fortune. Society is reinforced from the
bottom and not from the top. Families
die out, fortunes are dispersed, the re.
cruits come from the farm, the forge

troll the destinies of the twentieth CEN

faring sumptuously everyday at Sherrys

mans chance. 1t is open to all comers.

politics. What is needed is some legis-

discovered the patient must minister

poor man, except himself, is the trust,
and of all forms of this odious tyrsnny
the most intolerable is the labor trust.
The money trust kills the body, the
labor trust kills the soul. 1t destroys
the independence of the lsboring man,
effaces individuality, cancels excellence
and substitutes brute force for intelli-
gence. The right of labor to combine

vent others from taking their places by

Cleanse the Co uu.y Fairs.

The Gazette has been consistent
and an earnest supporter of the county
fair. Year after year it has summoned
Its large and loyal constituency to the
aid of such institutions as exhibitors
and students. 1t has pointed out the
value to the farmer of such means of
public education, and has urged that
the countryside turn out annually in an
effort to improve and promote these H.
lustrations of agriculture. Especially
has 1t preached clean county fair-one
free from all influences that contamin-
ate. 1t is discouraging, therefore, to
receive such o note as the one that
comes thus from our correspondent,
Mr.. Wing, referring to the Champaign
county, o., fair:
"At our county fair yesterday there
was exhibited the body and dismem-.
bered head of Pearl Bryan; phono-
graph recital and photographs of the
burning of negro in Texas, with q lee,
ture telling how his eyes were burned,
out, ears burned off, aShot iron thrust
down his throat, etc.: two Turkish
dances, viler than usual, I was told; a
poor idiot girl, as Australian wild girl;
some comparatively harmless gambling,
catching only negro boys; and then the
stock, which was good, The races also
good, and fine lot of people"
The Columbian Exposition left in its
wake flood of filth from the disreput-
able portions of its Midway. Every
city to this day has in its slums play
houses representations of the vile eo-
called "dsnces," imported from the ORR
ent, and for several years following the
Worlds Fair, our State fairs were de-
luged with such indeeencies. A deter
mined effort on the part of those who
decline to compound indecency for pelf
has cleaned most of our State fairs of
this and kindred disreputable exhibit
tions, but they are now running the
gamut of county fairs the country over.
Mr.. Wings report is sample 1t
would seem that liquor selling with its
attendant decentralization has been pret-
ty well wiped out at county fairs, only
to be succeeded by flood of vulgar and
obscene exhibitions that few years ago
would not have been tolerated except in
q mining camp in a border State. These
shameless spectacles are Haunted in the
face of women and children who have
been invited by fair managers to attend
under the plea of education in things

The Apache, Comancbe and Iowa In
dians who live on the reservation near
Wichita. Kiss, have just gone through
q very trying ordeal and one that was
rather embarrassing. Some time ago
the government issued a decree that
the "bucks" in the tribe could have but
one wife, and 1t was ordered that every
man who had more than one squaw
must forthwith give them up. The
Indians protested IN vain against what
they considered monstrous treatment,
but short time ago the Indian agent,
Captain Mischener, issued call for
all the Indians to meet him at Darling
ton and submit to an examination.
Captain Tullington Of the regular army
was present to assist in the legal separ-
ations and many . sad scene was on
acted Nsfjo,sa . CREST Apache Chief
who hss the love Of ell his people had
ten wives and he had just finished ar
rangements for two more when the
government order was issued. On the
morning of the day set for the appear
ance at Darlington, Mario was one of
the first to appear, and with him came
his ten wives. Mario was given the
opportunity of making choice as to
which wife he would keep-snd in fact
all of the Indians were given this priv
ilege-and he chose the Oldest, ugliest,
and fattest one in the bunch. Two Of
his discarded wives, young squsws of
rather pleasing appearance, forth
with killed Themselves. Tall Elk,
Comanche warrior had q nice bunch of
nine wives, and when he was forced to
give up all but one, six of the other
eight killed themselves. The discarded
squaws were sent away to the agency
building, where they will be cared for
by the government until their reserya-
tlon is thrown open for settlement this
winter. Then these squaws will have
money enough paid them to take care
Of themselves. All in all 600 squaws
have been discarded by the Indian war
riors, but they are not going to want

Milk as Medicine

e.ssee
The last quart of the milking, OF the
"strippings" taken Immediately after
milking before it has parted with any
of the animal heat is the most valuable
thing known to build up a person who
is thin and emaciated from any disease.
My theory for years has been that the
''strippings" was nearly all cream which
1 have demonstrated to be fact. 1 al
so believed that when taken Immediate
ly after milking, when it contained all
the animal heat and before any change
had taken place, that it would be alb
sorbed at once into the circulation with
out going through the ordinary process
of digestion. This have also found to
be true.
Idirect my patients to begin with
one-half pint and gradually increase the
quantity until at the end of a week they
are taking quart at time, or as much
as they can possibly drink without caus-
ing too much discomfort. This should
be followed up regularly twice a day.
1 have known of many cases who
could not drink the cold milk or even
milk which had stood for an hour or
two, and yet these persons could drink
q quart Immediately after milking with
out the slightest arrangements of the
digestive organs.
In consumption the patient steadily
loses in weight, and although the old
methods are used faithfully to try and
build up the strength, yet the patient
steadily loses flesh. 1t is no uncommon
thing for my patients who have follow
ed my instructions, to gain five pounds
week In weight. No other plan /
have heard of has proved so successful.
1t should be remembered that It is
very important to select q COW that il
healthy and one that giyss vary rio
milk. Then Il. is also ofvsey great im-
portance that the very last OF the milk
ing, or "strippingsp should be taken, and
of equal Importance that this should be
taken Immediately after milking while
it contains all the animal heat. No
other food is SO natural and none has
ever proved 30 successful.
The consumptive will soon find q
change for the better ii the above in
struction are followed.
1 have tested this plan in hundreds Of
cases in the last few years and 1 know
that there are thousands of cases whose
lives might be saved if the above In
structions were followed. Of course in
most cases a certain amount of medical
treatment is also necessary.

Love Exchanging.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow,
All are one, since my heart knows
Steadfast, In all Joy or sorrow,
Changeless love beside me goes.
Steadfast, though my mood be chungeful
AS the sea ud-shadows sweep,
Steadfast Is this love unchanging
AS the stars that night skies keep.
Suns may sink In storm clouds dreary,
Suns may set with golden skies;
Days may restful beor weary
Meet the nights when daylight dies.
Those beside me fall or falter,
Friends prove false, time drag or fly.
Blossoms turn to fruit or flower,
Seed.times pass, and summers die;
Youth may wane. and old age creeping
Come to break or change old ties,
Still its pristine glory keeping.
Lives this love that never dies.
Youth, or age, or joy, or sorrow,
Storm, or sunshine-all are one,
Since know for me unohanging
Lives this love, tilllire is done. 3

FOLLOWS A STRANGE BUSINESS.
This Young Nevada Woman shoots
Wild Horses to Sell Their Hides.
From the Chicago Chronicl

FROM the Chicago Chronicle.
Mrs. Maud Whiteman of Humboldt,
New, has stranger occupation than that
of any other woman in the United States.
She shoots wild horses for their skins and
earns about IS day at IL. Wild horses
have so Increased in numbers in many
Western states that they are ruthlessly
killed for their hides, or they would drive
cattle off the ranges and monopolize the
best grazing
Mrs. Whiteman goes hunting always
with her father, Henry Wlman, a vet
eran of the Mexican and Civil Wars, who
lost his ranch in California about six
years ago by financial misfortune and
removed TO Nevada
Father and daughter ride well and shoot
we'll 1t is their custom 10 hitch their
own horses as decoys and hide in the
timber.
When wild horses come up one Of them
carefully shoots the leader of the herd.
The others scamper away, but curiosity
soon impels them to return. Then father
and daughter open with their guns and
shoot as many as possible before the herd
gets out of range. The skins are taken
off and dried on sage bushes and then
sold for about 81 each.
When hunting Mrs Whiteman wears
masculine garb. but when she comes into
town she wears black silk dress and
very feminine piumed Leghorn hat.
