Badly nlxed.

Wardie White got his clippings bad
| ly mixed last week. He felt he ought
to do something to earn for the News
the right to be called the leading re-
publican paper of the county, SO he
pitched into the ship subsidy bill, and
going on the presumption that Phil
| lips county republicans would favor
that iniquitous measure, he proceeded
to argue for it. At the end OF the
first sentence in which he virtually
says if the HERALD is against it he is
for it, he discovered and frankly adj
mitted he knew nothing at all about
the subsidy business because his time
had been taken up studying just two
things, Reeder'S pension record, and
what pie there is yet to be diStribut-
ed. However, he cast about and found
an article entitled Subsidy History"
in a republican paper which he sup
posed would fit the case so he clipped
and reprinted it.
But alas! he had failed to read it
carefully, for it proved to be a very
strong article against the subsidy bill
and showed the republican party from
Lincoln to Blaine always opposed sub
sides, and it was only after Mark and
Mack got control of the party, that it
favored such nefariOuS schemes to rob
the national treasury. The HERALD
is sorry Wardie got so badly mixed in
his maiden effort, but hopes it wont
discourage him from trying again.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon said in an
address in Boston that of 80 places of

properly go to them, while 16 were I'M

A minister should not be set down as
a stirrer up of class feeling because he
alludes to the peculiar sins of the rich
or of the poor. Both classes have their
temptations and besetting sins, which
it is proper for the preacher of right
ness to expose and rebuke.
The Baptists of Helena, Mont, have
just celebrated the twentieth anniver-
sary of the establishment of that de-

Miss Porter's father presided for many
years. The memorial, together with
the necessary improvements to be
made in the church, will cost about
$4,000.

Government Reporta.

One interesting fact about govern
ment reports is that they are generally
published on Monday mornings, and
the reason for this is that the newspa-
pers of that day are not so crowded
and thus more space is secured. James
G. Blaine, who was an editor before he
became a statesman. was the first to
appreciate the opportunity of the Mon
day morning newspaper, and when he
had an important announcement to
make or report to submit it was al
ways sent out the last of the week. so
as to secure the best possible treatment
on Monday morning. His example has
become a precedent in Washington of
6cialdom.-Saturday Evening Post.

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, was elect
ed to full term in the United States
few days ago by the fuSioniStS. Mr..
Dubois was elected ten years ago as a
republican, but he walked out of the
republican party with Teller, Towne
and others in 1896. He was candi-
date for reelection after the populists
carried the state four years ago, but
they held that he ought to act with
their party awhile before asking for
an Office, and chose Heitfeld. He has
in the past four years earned a right
to the senatorship, and we are pleased
to see him unanimously chosen.

Found a Dead Man.

Last Thursday afternoon and Fri
day morning rumors began to fly thick
and fast concerning a supposed dead
man that had been discovered under
the floor of a house in the northeast
part of town. 1t was reported that a
horrible stencil proceeded from an I'M
used room in the house. The phySi-
clan who attended sick woman liv-
ing in the house was said to have de-
clared the odor certainly arose from
decaying human flesh. The city mar
shall was reported to have prodded
with stick through hole in the
floor and discovered a large soft body.
Owing the severe illness of the woman
no further investigation was made I'M
til she was removed from the house.
In the meantime the excitement
grew. On Sunday morning the doctor
pronounced the patient able to be re-
moved, and when she had been taken
to another house, all at once the mat
ter seemed to be hushed up. No one
knew when the investigation was to
be made. Those most excited had ap-
parently lost all interest in the sub
ject. 1t finally leaked out that the
investigators sawed a large hole in the
floor, large enough to take out the re-
mains of man, and there discovered
only dead cat. No wonder their
interest in the mystery tagged. We
understand several of the parties
promptly set up the cigars without a
word when the affair is mentioned.

conversation continued.

"She was not the most skilled on

the most interesting one, and we
talked through the wall till supper
time. That evening 1 began again.
but she was not at home, and when I
got in at midnight wisely forebore
sending a goodnight to her. Next
morning hailed her with good morn
ing and got an answer, and then /
asked her if I couldn't meet her after
breakfast and walk to school via
her, but she would not have it. You
see, she was shy without brick wall
between us. was three or four DAYS
pleading with my shoe heel on that
wall before she agreed to meet me.
and by that time had told her every
thing, and she just couldn't refuse to
give me some kind of a show. After
my first walk to school with her I
was utterly gone, and though she
stayed on and was graduated in teleg-
raphy, she never had a chance to
practice what she learned, for before
she got a job had made her promise
to marry me and give up biography"

"Tnere's r1any a Slip. "

John Q. Royce was so cOck-Sure SEN
ator Baker would be reelected that
he couldn't resist the temptation to
take little shot at the Burton men
by calling them all disappointed Of
fee seekers" or SoreheadS whose
feelings were hurt by the other fell
lows political preferment" and etc.
Now that Burton has won so easily it
may mean that the disappointed Of
flee seekers" will be of the Baker fol-
lowers. Here's what he said In the
Dispatch only two weeks ago:
The friends of Senator Baker held a
meeting at the Copeland hotel in To-
peka yesterday, in honor of the return
of the senator from Washington. He
has opened headquarters at the Cope
land and. announces that he is to re-
main in charge of his campaign until
he is reelected. Even the Topeka
Capital, the most bitter opponent Sen
ator Baker has, gives report of the
Baker conference under the following
headline: Baker at EaSe.'' The SEN
ator says he is more than satisfied
with the assurances of support which
come to him from all parts of the
state. His election is an assured fact
and the indications now are that
there will be no candidate against
him in the republican caucus. There
are, of course, many disappointed pol
iticianS over the state who failed tC
get the appointments they sought, OF
who were not allowed to name their
men, who would like to punish Sena-
tor Baker for failing to reward them
as they imagined they deserved, but
toe members of the legislature have
no such grievances, and will be al
lowed to act for the best interests OF
the state, which everybody, outside OF
other fellows political preferment,
acknowledges to mean the reelection
