The invitation to the Doors to conn
to the Western part of the United
States and grow up with the country
is good. Here they will be safe from
political encroachment. They will
never be tempted to make another trek
il they move to the United States. I'm
doubeedly some of them will come
here. The great mass of the two lit
tie ex-republics Of South Africa, how
ever, will remain at home and make
the best of the changed conditions.
England, of course, in its own inter-
est, will be obliged to give the Doors
a reasonably satisfactory government
after reconstruction takes place, but
this phase may last several years.

Lesson for Missouri Farmers.

The Mckinley and Flory Republican
Club of Sikeston, Mo-, has made a
practical Investigation of the price Of
wheat delivered to the warehouses and
elevators in that town since 1892. In
the carefully prepared tables publish
ed the names Of twenty-five sellers Of
wheat are given, with the exact fig
ures of their transactions during the
last eight years. The statement is
presented with the remark that
Scott County, in Southeastern Mis-
souri,, is an agricultural community.
and that the whole population is inter-
ested in the price of farm products.
Wheat is taken as a test. 1T will be
noticed says the instructive docu-
ment, that with a few exceptions,
under Democratic rule, wheat got as
high as SOC, and in 1894 got as low as
4Oc. The price for the four
Democratic years the price averaged
about SOC, while under Republican
years the price averaged about zoe.
We do not know what you think about
it. but We believe this comparative
list of sales and prices paid for wheat
should show what it costs the farmers
to have Democratic times. Why
should We not support with u votes
the Republican party, when it is Of
such great advantage to the farmers
for us to do so?"
Here is an instance of practical pol
itics of the best kind, and an illustra-
ton. also, of the value of an active,
intelligent Republican club. Four
years ago Scott County was visited
by many free coinage orators, who
said that wheat and silver had gone
down together, and that there would
be a continued decline unless the mints
of the United States we're opened to
the silver of the world at the old ratio.
The same theory was the groundwork
of Bryan's speeches. Scott County
believed it, for it gave Bryan 1896
votes and Mckinley only 15I- 1t is
Democratic by nearly three to one
But prosperity has been trust upon it
by the party that declared in favor of
the gold star dard and promised the
farmers that better prices and better
times would follow McKinley's cleo
ton. The pledge has been kept, and
the farmers of Scott are selling their
wheat for Mckinley prices. The
demonstration is complete. But their
are Missouri Democrats who. stop
thinking when they see the rooster on

In a speech at Elmira the other
night David B. Hill quoted from a
Supreme Court Decision, which he
gave as "I9-Howard, 393-447," deny
ing that Congress has plenary power
to rule territory at its discretion. His
audience has since found out that

THE GUN CLUB.
Arrangements Perfected o. Fourth
Of July shoot.

A practice shoot was held at It's grounds
last Sunday by the Gun Club, in prepara-
ton for the Fourth of July matches, and
enough ammunition was used to supply
the international forces around Tien Tsin.
Nearly all the club members and many
others are in practice. Five traps will be
used on the Fourth, as this method per
mits quick shooting with no waits,
A meeting of the club was held Thurs
day evening and the following rules to
govern the match for the citizens purses
were adopted;
Free for all: 80 birds per man in rounds
of ten from FIVE traps; 16 yards rise for Il
and Is for 10 gauge guns; each shooter to
pay SIPS for his birds; prizes, $50, SIC
and s. for the highest three guns. The
club voted prizes for another match of %
birds, the conditions of which will be an
ncunced at the grounds. In addition tc
these matches it is probable that several
sweepstakes will be shot for.
The club will provide an awning and
seats for the comfort of visitors. Fletcher
Bros. will run a passenger bus to and from
the grounds, charging % cents for th'
round trip. Orders may be left at th'

for Domestic Use.
There will be no street sprinkling in
Eureka this season, and the people will
have to endure the dust as best they
can. Mr.. Lob had made his customary
arrangement with the Richmond Mining
Company for their surplus water, and
despite the unusual scarcity Of that
necessary liquid had hoped to be able to
fulfill his regular contract this season. II
has been found, however, that the water
does not rise to 9 sufficient height in the
pipe to permit Of it's use and there is no
possibility Of getting any from the Eure.

1t is hoped that enough water can be

Fourth. and it is believed this will be
done.

genoy of this sort another year. as he in
tends putting in a pump at the Diamond
pipe to force up the water in case it
should not rise high enough Of its own
accord.

NEXT YEARS TEACHERS.
New Board Partially Decides ON
the Force.

The members of the new Board OF
School Trustees held an informal meeting
on Wednesday evening and decided to en-
gage Professor Winfrey of Winnemucca as
Principal Of the Eureka school for the
coming year. While the matter has not
been definitely acted upon it is understood
that the Board has practically decided to
re-engage Miss lisa l.. Wright and Miss
Stella Rhodes for the coming year, and
these, it is understood, are the only MEM
bers of the present teaching force who will
come back.
The name Of Miss Myers's successor can
not be given at this time; neither has the
Board decided upon the gentleman to take
the position of Assistant Principal; but
more than thirty teachers have applied
for positions in the Eureka school, and
from this fact it will be seen that there
is no scarcity of talent from which to
make selections.

MRs. RO9ANTINT's EXPERIENCE.
Her Mules EIOped with Two Thor.
Oughbred Pigs.

OuklDEcu k1k
Mr.. H, Rogantini was in from Duck
water on Friday. and the following day
started for home with q pair Of young
pigs of the o. l. G. breed, which had
arrived here by express from Cleveland.
Ohio. The little porkers are thorough.
breds, costing S4S for the pair. and ct
eight months old they are guaranteed to
weigh over 1000 pounds.
On arriving at Pinto Mrs. Rogantini
left her mules standing unhitched while
she paid . visit to Mrs. Fitzpatrick, and
whether il was that the aforesaid mules
grew weary Of waiting. or whether
a thought of the feed that was awaiting
them at their journeys end penetrated
their thick skulls is not known, but when
Mrs. Rogsntini emerged from the house she
found that she had . hslf-mile handicap
race on her hands, and the mules had
settled down to steady trot. Then
the lady thought of her porkers. and
with an o. 1. c., she started in pursuit.
At the end Of two miles she had gained
perceptibly on the runaways. and just q,
they were about to enter the mouth Of
the canyon g Mormon teamster coming
from the opposite direction with . load
Of ore, sized up the situation and ended
the race.
Those mules no longer possess th,
confidence of Mrs. Rogantini, and here
after they will never have an opportu.
nifty to run away.

To the Editor of the SENTINEL:
1t would seem to be appropriate at this
time to warn the people of Eureka to be
very careful in the handling of fireworks
from now until after the Fourth. The
extreme dryness of the past month, coupled
with the fact that the water supply is very
low. would seem to call for the exercise Of
extreme caution on the part of all citizens.
If a FIRE were to get under Roadway in the
business part of town it might prove diff.
cult. if not impossible to handle; but by
the exercise of proper care any danger
from this source can be averted. In this
case eternal vigilance is the price of secu.
rity. NEMESIS.

EUREKA's CELEBRATION.
Special Train VIII Bring Crowds
From the North.

FROM tne Worm.
As the Fourth draws near some ides
OF the magnitude Of the forthcoming eel
ebrasion can be gained, and ID is now
assured that Eureka will on that day
entertain an astonishingly large number
OF visitors. From ell directions reports
are being received that the people are
coming, and during the past week ar
rAngements have been perfected for Q
special train TO bring excursionists from
the northern part Of the county, and
along the line Of the Central Pacific.
This train will leave Palisade ct 4 o'clock
on the morning Of the Fourth, arriving
ct Eureka in time for the grand parade.
On the return trip the train will leave
here at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, thus
permitting the excursionists who reside
along the line Of the Central Pacific TO
reach their homes on the same day.
Rev. NJ. S. Riddle on Monday circulated
. subscription paper among the business
men for the purpose Of raising the money
to pay for the train independent Of the
tickets that might be sold. and nowith-
standing the fact that ell had contrib
sted literally TO the general fund, in .
remarkably short space of time he had
secured s55 more than the required
amount. So the train will run regard

Considerable interest is being taken In
the horse races, and the indications are
that the winners will have to exhibit
something more than ordinary speed.
Paul Lane has expressed his determine
sion to bring up q thoroughbred or two
from his Pine Valley ranch, and there
are parties residing south Of here who
own come horseiesh that is hard to beat.
The idea Of having an independent
baseball match in the afternoon, has. it
appears, been abandoned, . number Of
the most enthusiastic players having
their time so completely occupied that
they could not possibly take part in the
