THE STONE OF GRATITUDE.
An Old Roman Legend That Treats
of the TODaZ.

An Old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.
The topaz is called the stone of graf
itude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang a brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances Of any Of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
enc of Caesar was obtained.
One day q great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave or
ders that no one should modest the
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
in homage and straightaway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast covered with sharp needles had
invaded her home, killed the nestlings
and now held possession Of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest. Night
fell, and the sleeping world had forgot
ten the emperor's kindly deed, but with
the early dawn a great serpent glided
into the palace, up the steps and into
the royal chamber and laid upon each
Of the emperor's closed eyelids a gleam-
ing topaz. When Emperor Theodosius
awoke, he found he was no longer
blind, for the mother snake had paid
her debt of Notwithstanding.

TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.
Is the Only Possible Way of Having q Per:
manent Cure.

If you see a woman or a man with lux
uriant hair, you may be sure neither has
dandruff to amount to anything. In
nearly every case where women and
men have. thin, brittle hair, they owe it
to dandruf. There are hundreds of
preparations that "claim" to cure dan
druf, but not n but Newbro's Herpi-
eide tells you that dandruff is the result
of a germ burrowing into the scalp. and
that permanent cure of dandruf and its
consequent falling and badness, can only
be had by killing the germ; and there is
no other preparation that will destroy
that germ but Newbro's Herpicide.

A royal revel with Old Momus is
promised the theatre-goers of this city
when the bright and breezy play Of
"Have You Seen Smith, which has
created a furore wherever seen, will ap-
pear at the opera house Thursday, May
II. As a mirth-producer "Have you
Seen Smith" is pronounced an enormous
success. From the rise of the curtain to
the final fall of the same the interest
never flags, the humor never loses its
piquant flavor, and the entire piece goes
ripping merrily on to an uproarously
funny termination. Incidental to the
action of the play, a perfect plethora of

Our Village Election.

annual village election on Mon
day, May !, was somewhat interesting.
The main interests were centered on
clerk, marshal and justice. Clerk George
Aud was a candidate for reelection. but
was defeated by ]. 2. Tinglc bv 81 votes.
Marshal Craig was a candidate for re-
election and while there were six candi-
dates in the field, Charles T. Crowl was
the man who proved a close running
mate for our marshal of the past six
months. Mr.. Craig had 70 votes and
Mr.. Crowl 60. Tomany people the vote
for justice was a surprise. Geo. Burk-
holder received 1o8 votes while A. p.
Folsom lacked but. one vote of having
the same number. Mr.. Folsom holds the
Office of county justice and a great many
people reasoned that it would be better
to have the Office of village justice vest
ed with some person other than
the only county justice in Dickinson.
Mr.. Burkholder formerly held the office
Of justice in an Eastern state and his
duties along this line will o be alto
gether new.
1t was a handsome compliment to our
board Of trustees that they should be
reelected. Treasurer White had no
| opposition for reelection.
The proposition to change from viii
lage to a city organization carried. The
matter has to go before the board of
county commissioners and in due time a
| city election will be ordered. In the
meantime Dickinson continues under the
village organization.
Following is given the votes of candi-
dates by precincts:

GOING WEST.
Northwestern Surveyors in the
Field Near Eddyville.

Eddyville Tribune: The force of
surveyors for the Consolidation Coal
Co., who have been working in the
coal fields northwest oftown, arrived
here Monday land will make this their
headquarters for some time. They
are under the supervision of Mr.. j..
w. Harris, and are nice lot of gem
tlemen, but, as is usual with railroad
surveyors, they are very unsatis-
factory interviewing material, and
the details of their object is only con-
lecture.
The ultimate object of the North
western is to get into the coal fields
of Mahaska county on the west side
Of the river. In order to do this, they
must cross the river west of Muchaki-
mock; use the Central bridge here,
and then branch off from Bridgeport,
or build bridge here. Some think
that the Central's action in putting
in the new steel bridge is to accom-
modate the N. w. This would look
plausible, as they can connect their
line, that now goes into Muchakinock,
with the Central with about one-half
mile of new road. But as they are
now engaged east of town, running
new lines, it would look as if they in
tended extending the branch that
goes to No. 8, which is about one and
one-half miles east of US. This can
be run down the creek through the
Bassinger, Brown and Miller farms,
and strike the bottom west of the
Brown school house with very little
grade. If this is done, they will
probably build bridge south of flown
and take the general course north
west that was run by the A, T. & S.
F. surveyors last fall. This would
give them heavy tonnage of freight
from the quarries of the west side
and be of inestimable benefit to this
community.

An Anti LIQUOR Man.

AS you kindly offer the free use of
space in your paper, We will make
statement.
The city gets 500 each from four
teen saloons, amounting to $500.
And 500 is all that the city can pos
sibly get if all is paid, which is not
very probable This money all goes
TO general fund and not to paving
fund as has been stated. Paving,
sidewalks and curbing is paid for by
property owners and intersections by
a tax paid to the city for that pur
pose by the tax payers. This state
ment is made to correct the impress
sion given out that the aloon pays
for paving the city. Saloons pave
else, just as they have always done.
This is not an attack on the saloon
keeper, but is in opposition to the
liquor busin 80 and all places where
stuff is sold that makes devils of men,
drug stores as we'll
After five or six years of saloon
license business, we find the tax
PAYERS in the city have 81 mills to
pay. This is higher than ever be-
fore, instead of reducing taxes as has
been claimed oy those on the side of
legalizing the liquor business by a
protecting license. Would you not
think this alone reason enough for a
change? The same as you would ap-
ply to your own business? The city
has almost nothing to show for the
so-caled benefits from license and is
as much or more in debt now as ever
before, has no city building, and
even the street sweeper was donated,
and the sprinklers are not owned by
the city, and all this after term of
the wonderful high license money
making system.
The whole saloon business is ~
held in an indirect way by wiley poll
tcians, because a considerable num-
Der of votes can be manipulated
through it; this is always detrimental
to the public at large and the good
citizen of small means who is work
ing for the best interests of and the
upbuilding of the city financially, as
well as from broader standpoint.
Would you have our educational
interests domineered and dictated to
by the liquor interests? We think
not. Anyone realizing the above
facts certainly would not place his
influence on the side of the liquor
| business. TAXPAYER.

Farmers Institute.

A meeting of the management of
the farmers institute was held Sat-
urday afternoon at the court house
and there was a good attendance.
One of the principal things consid-
cred was the manner Of taking sub
scriptions inl the country. 1t was
suggested that one of the best ways
for the collecting of funds was for
each township vice-president to visit
the farmers of his township and ask
for quarter and in almost every
case the amount would be forthcom-
ing. If there are those who will give
more to the fund, we'll and good, but
the point made is that here is not a
farmer in the county who is inter
ested in the institute who will not
give % cents toward go Import.

enacted.
