SHE KNEW HOW TO WRITE
Asked the Editor for Hts Opinion
and Then Was Not
Satisfied.

The average editor experiences
thrill of keen delight VIXEN he meets
one OF those modest, urassuming per
sons who simply write little them
selves. The delight is intensified II
these Eliots and Thackerays in em-
bryo imnart this information In low
voiced confidence, with the further in
formation that they wouldn't have
it known for all the world" In most
cases the editor feels quite safe in
promising them that the general pub
lie will never know anything about II.
He wishes that he might be as ignorant
of this knowledge as the general pub
lie.
Ny friend Blank is such an editor.
He is one Of the blunt straightfor-
ward sort OF men, much given to tell
ing the truth. and abhorring anything
thas savors Of "beating around the
bush" He is terror to those persons
who write a little.r and who beg
him to tell them "the exact truth"
ABOUT their productions.
/ sat. behind a screen in his Office
the other day, when there came a tirnid
little knock on the door, and Blank
roared out; "Come in." in a voice
that cracked the plasiering. A timid,
girlish little thing Of q or 4s years
huttered in.

HOW TO BE COUNTED.
Persons Away From Home
May Be Missed.

The count of the people in the
United States will begin in all
! parts of the country June l, and
end in the cities two weeks later,
and in the rest OF the country be-
fore the close of the month. The
people are 10 be counted at their
place OF iesidence, but as many
persons and families will be away
from their homes during June
there is some danger that such
persons will not be counted. II
they are not counted, the locality
in which they live will be misrep-
resented TO that extent, and IN
some cases this Misrepresentation
may be enough to effect the repre-
eentation in congress Of the state
from which they come. Local
pride and state pride should in
sfiuence all absentees to take reas-
enable precautions against being
Aomitted from enumeration in their
places of residence. Such ommis-
sions are most likely TO occur In
large cities, where families close
their homes and go elsewhere for
the summer. The occurance OF the
Paris exposition this year is likely
to increase the number absent
from the country.
In case of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested
by the census office to communi-
cate with w. H. Darrough, the
supervisor Of census for this dis
district. Heis also urged TO leave
information regarding bis answers
to the questions which are 10 be
asked with some responsible
neighbor who will agree TO see
that 1t reaches the enumeration on
his rounds. Such information
might better be left as a memoir
andum in writing, as in that case
il is less likely to be overlooked.
The questions to which answers
are desired apply primarily to the
population, but also to all farms
and manufacturing establishments.
Theyare being published from time
to time in the press ofthe country.
BY taking this trouble the absent
citizen will do justice to his local
ity and his state, and materially
aid the census Office in the per-
formance of its duties.

FAVORABLE TO THE TREATY.
Good pnespect of its Ratification Be-
fore Adjournment.

A letter from Judge Springer,
dated Nay 18th, states that the
senate and house committees have
been considering the Cherokee
agreement for several days, and
have gone through All Of it but a
few sections at the close. The
committee were expected to finish
Saturday morning and then hear
ing on the controverted points
would be permitted. Although
the session is drawing rapidly to a
close the prospect seems favorable
for the ratification of both the
Cherokee and Creek treaties.

A DELICATE REPUTATION.
The Neosho Times Sued for Libel to
the Extent of $4,000.

the Extent OF @tOsVoSs
P. G. Fields, one of the publish
ers of the Neosho Times, and who
was at one time an attache OF tSis
office, spent yesterday in this city
with his brother-in-law, Jim Lii
lard. A couple of weeks ago Mr..
Fields and his associate were sued
for $4,000 for libel-and another
foolish man will be disappointed
when the tdsl is over. Several
persons were suspected OF counter
feitting and one Cor perhaps two)
were required to remain where
they were until the matter was IN
vestigated by the United States
marshal. The others were arrest
ed, and in reporting the case the
story very naturally had them all
as under arrest. This was the
basis Of the suit.

Mondays daily papers, am
Yours truly,
GEO. M. GRAHAM,
Dist. Agt. for Mccormick II. M. Co.
Dated, May 90, 1900.
Not Accepted.

Not Accepted.
Acceptance OF the above proposition
may seem simple thing to those not
familiar with the business and you may
wonder why it was not accepted. But
the transaction is not only a violation
OF honorable business methods but a
violation OF contract with Mccormick
company for one agent to supply ma
chine to parties outside their own terri
tory, under the penalty OF forfeiture of
said contract. Consequently to divulge
where they got the machine would Inn
plicate the agent OF whom they got it,
and he would lose the agency, also be
liable for damages. This precaution is
taken by all manufacturers for protec-
tion against dealers. This explains
their silence with regard to the first
proposition, the amount offered not
being sufficient or payable to the right
party to induce them to betray the other
party. With regard to the second pro-
position no firm or no firms hired man
in Owosso could induce Mccormick CON-
pany to sell them Mccormick machine
or Mccormick repairs at any price. l
regret having to call.public attention to
a matter which has been conducted for
the past month on the sly for the evil
dent purpose OF iniurng the business OF
W. E. Payne & Co. and trust the salts
faction OF having one first class machine
in their warehouse will compensate them
for their conduct. The expression OF ap-
proval OF our position in this matter by
friends both in city and county is SO
gratifying to us that we almost feel like
Offering to supply them with what good
machines they need. Yours truly,
GEO. M. GRAHAM.

Open Letter to Hartshorn & Son.

Messrs Hartshorn & Son, Owosso,
Mich.
Gentlemen:-I am authorized to make
you the following propositions: First:
if you will publish in next Mondays
daily papers statement giving the
name of the town and the name of the
party of whom you got the New Nc
Cormick mower you have in your
warehouse and the time of day Tor
night it was delivered to your store, 1
hereby agree to donate to the manage
ment of the Dorcas Home the sum of
$40 in cash. Second: if you will prove
that you or any one in your employ can
get a Mccormick machine of the Nc
Cormick Co. in any legitimate way for
the purpose of selling the same in
Owosso, hereby agree to pay the above
named institution an additional sum of
$50 in cash. Also will pay for publica-
ton of said statement. If you got pos
session of the mower in an honorable
way and can substantiate your claim,
that you can furnish farmers with Nc
Cormick machines, you certainly can
not hesitate to help so worthy an insti-
tuition as the Dorcas Home with so little
effort on your part. We realize that
you recognize the superiority of Nc
Cormick machines in common with
everyone else, and do not blame you for
wanting to supply your customers with
them, but W. f. Payne & Co are the
only lawful representatives of the Nc
Cormick Co. in Owosso, and we wish
to know and have the public know by
what legal or moral fright you claim to
offer Mccormick machine for sale.
Hoping to see your statement in next

stead of victory; defeat at BULL Run;
defeat at Balls Bluff; defeat at Harpers
Ferry; defeat all along the line. There
was no indications of victory until in
September 1862, when President Lin
coin promised God that if General Lee
were driven from Maryland, he would
abolish slavery. On the 18th day of
that month Lee was whipped in a
bloody battle at Antietam, and driven
out Of Maryland. Five days later Abra-
ham Lincoln kept his promise made to
God, and issued the emancipation pro-
clamation. From that day the tide of
battle turned, and finally resulted in
great victory7for the Union of States,
and for the equal rights of men with
out regard to race or color.
Now raise the question. Was it a.
good war? Was the equal rights Of men
a good cause? Did the cause justify
you men in going into the fight? In
answer to these questions, will turn
your minds to the demoralizing effects
of slavery. The Shareholder himself
was demoralized by it. In the abolition
of slavery, he was as much liberated as
the slaves. Under the slave system all
the energies of the shareholders were
exercised in holding the slave down.
1t is very costly work, this holding
people down. That is why the South
had nothing before the war, but the
negro and the art of holding him down.
You know the very arms with which
she fought the North, had to be gotten
from the North. Well, the civil war was
good fight in the sense that it took
the Shareholder off the negro, and
showed him that there was a nobler
and better work to do, than that Of
holding human beings down.
We have gathered in this memorial
service to recall the memory the causes
of the war, and the war itself. We have
gathered to pay tribute of respect 90
| the soldiers, who have gone the world S
battle-feldS, and to speak some words
of cheer to those still living and with
us today. You remember how at the
taps of the drum, beardless boys be-
came men, and answered to one call
after another, until this nation
marched on army under the assaulted
flag, such as the world had never seen
before. In memory of the dead heroes
who marched in that army, flowers are
strewed and tears are shed today
Those who still live may be justly
proud, for we all know that you fought
a good fight.
Another good war was our late
struggle with Spain. We believe it
was good because it was in the interests
of down trodden humanity. Some of
your young men took hand in it. You
had experience enough to teach you
that the man who goes to war does not
go to picnic. Today your thoughts
are turned to the graves Of some
young men who went out with you,
but did not come back with you.
Many tears will fall over their graves
today.
The good wars are not ended yet.
There are mighty armies in the field
STILL Every man should be careful to
get on the right side, and fight battle
worthy of an immortal SOUL"

strikes more responsive chord in
the human heart Family reunions
and varied gifts, characterize the
day. The union Thanksgiving of
ering will go to the Bible society.
In few w VS. can we better show our
Thanksgiving spirit than by giving
the word of God, to those who need

The special services at Union have
measured up to our expectation in
interest and in character. We be-
lieve that the work begun last year
was but the seedsowing and that the

no doubt. May the good work GO

our God.
In harmony with the recommend
ations of our general conference we
observe next Sabbath as temperance

political situation is settled for the

We are glad to have with us so ex-
perienced a servant of the Lord.
