There will be bill passed early in
the session giving to Mrs. Mckinley
a pension of $4,000 per annum.
There will be no expression of opposi-
ton to this bill and, perhaps for that
reason, some of the friends of Mrs.
Harrison are working to secure the
attachment of rider giving similar
pension to the widow of President
Harrison. Considering the fact that
Mrs. Harrison married the General
SO late in life and that she is not in
actual need of the pension there will
be considerable opposition TO the
granting of pension to her but it is
possible that delicacy of feeling
about holding up Mrs. McKinley's
pension, even though tits entirely due
to the rider, may prevent any mega
tive votes in Congress. Russell B.
Harrison has come to Washington to
lobby for the rider.
The Presidents message is regard
ed by most of the congressman as an
excellent and conservative production.
His recommendations against tariff
revision are disappointment to some
but they are quite in line with the
policy of his party and he doubtless
appreciated that whatever he nigh,
recommend Congress would do noth.
ing along that line. His treatment o.
the trust question is also regarded By
some as lacking backbone, but a
democratic senator said yesterday
''If Congress will adopt the Presi
dents recommendation and lay bare
to public inspection the workings O
the trusts that is all we would ask. l,
would not be necessary for the Presi
den. to make any further recommends
tions. The people would attend tc
that, once they were IN possession o
the facts"

Tho New County Officers.

On last Monday the new county
officers elected at the last election
took possession of their respective
offices.
Judge Selvidge succeeds Judge
Bodle as County Attorney. Mr..
Selvidge needs no introduction to
the people of this county who over
whelmingly elected him last fall.
E. w. Jenkins succeeds Judge
Truax as Probate Judge. We have
every reason to believe that Mr..
Jenkins will make an efficient officer
and ever be faithful to the trust i'm
posed upon him.
Mr.. John Elliott succeeds himself
as Clerk of the District Court.
Miss Maggie Martin takes charge
of the Office of Supt. of Public In
struction, having been appointed
last week to tlll the vacancy. Miss
Martin is at present employed as
teacher of the Grammar department
of our city schools, but will be
found in her Office on Saturdays, un-
til her term of school is finished.
The new county board met Mon
day and organized by electing H.
E, Hayden Chairman. The board
is the same as last year, Messrs.
Hayden, Conrad and Innis, Mr..
Conrad being reelected last fall fol-
a second term. This is one of the
best county boards Meade county
has ever had, always looking after
the interests of the people of Meade
county.

Obituary.

Richmond Winton Roberts, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Roberts Sr..
aged 2I years, 3 months, II days,
departed this life, Tuesday, January
IS, 1901.
Richmond Winton Roberts was
born at St. Joseph, Mo-, Sept. 2S,
1880. The past several years he
has attended school in Washington,
D. c. He was Ist corporal of the
Dist. of Columbia National Guards.
Since last September he has been.
with his parents in this city.
1t is with sorrow we are called
upon to announce the untimely
death of one of our most promising
young men. This young man in the
prime of his usefulness has been re-
moved from our midst. Starting in
to manhood with the brightest hopes
and prospects; he was compelled to
yield to that inevitable force of
nature which sooner or later will
claim US all. He will be missed by
his many friends and associates and
most of all by his loving parents
and brother.
Wint was taken sick with the grip
about two weeks ago while at Engle-
wood and returned home before he
was able to be out. On arriving
home he was compelled to take his
bed and his case developed into
pneumonia, which caused his de-
cease.
The bereaved family have the
sympathy of all their friends in the
sad affliction of the loss of their be-
loved son and brother.
The funeral services were held at
the NJ. E. Church Wednesday after
noon, conducted by Rev. Booth.
The remains were inferred in Grace
land cemetery.

We notice that the Globe editor
has a astronomical pain over the
way the newspapers over the state
are talking about Fish Warden Will
ey and his fish hatchery scheme.
Chas. Harris and other correspond
ents are only making public the sem
timent that prevails over the state
in regard to Mr.. Wiley's ability as
Fish Warden. We thought that ev-
eryone in Meade county conceded
that he knew as much about fish cul-
as he did ancient Egyptian h ero-
glyphics, except probably Mr.. Fuhr
who thinks he must defend Wiley in
order that he might retain his ap-
pointment as Postmaster at Meade.
We thought certainly that Frank
could see the handwriting after the
recent Meade county election. He
don't seem as apt as the fellow from
Missouri. We doubt very much
whether a Kansas cyclone would
arouse him from his comatose con-
dition.

The new bank which will open in
Dodge City today in the rooms for
merly occupied by the First Nation
al and later by the Midland State
Bank is another indication of the
steady growth of our city. 1t is the
intention of the owners of the bank
to later on make it National bank.
The officers and directors of the
bank are we'll known to the people
of Kansas as being connected with
some of the best banking institutions
of the state. c. Q. Chandler, the
President, is connected as president
of several banks and is a substantial
business man. The cashier, H. A.
Burnett, is well known to many of
our citizens and is thorough bust
ness man and courteous gentleman
with whom it will be pleasure to
do business. Under his manage
ment the business will be conducted
safely and to the satisfaction of its
patrons. We cheerfully recommend
the new institution to the patronage
of our people and the public in gen.

The Coyote Scalp Bounty.

A number of inquiries are made
as to whether the scalp bounty on
coyotes is still in force. We pub
lish the following letter from the
Attorney General to Judge Bodle,
which is self-explanatory:
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 7, 1901.
Mr.. A. T. Bodle Sr.,
County Attorney,
Meade, Kansas,
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 4th inst.
duly received. The Supreme court
has not held that the law providing
for bounty on coyote and wolf
scalps is unconstitutional. The case
you refer to is one which arose in
regard to a bounty on gopher scalps
under a special act of the legislature
in regard to Wallace county. This
act was held unconstitutional and
the county not liable, but it does
not in any wise affect the general
law in regard to the payment of a
bounty on coyote and wolf scalps.
Yours very truly,
A. A. GoDARD,
Attorney General

The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the State
Teachers Association at Topeka,
Dec. 2S, 1900:
"Be it resolved, by the Kansas
State Teachers Association, as
sembled in its thirty eighth annual
meeting-That it be the sense of
this association, that the coming
Legislature should so amend the state
text book law as to enable the peo-
pie of Kansas to secure the best
text books of the day for the use of
their children in the public schools,
and that whatever books may be
adopted the law should expressly
permit the use in schools of sup
Elementary books by pupils who
possess the adopted books and are
using them in good faith"
Some of the texts we are now u.s.
ing are far from being standard and
the above resolution probably re-
fleets the opinion of majority OF
the people of the state. If some
plan can be devised by which little
or no expense usually incident to a
change in textbooks may be entail
ed the proposition will be hailed
with delight by the whole people.
We do not know what possible
plans may have been discussed in
the Association, but the people are
even willing to make some pecuniary
sacrifice, if by so doing, better text
books may be secured. The value
of textbook is not measured by
the list price, but by the usefulness
as guide in preparing our youth
for competent citizenship.

In the "Capitol Notes" written
by r. M. Painter in yesterdays
Globe we notice that he says Rep
resentative Adams allied himself
with the minority and that Meade
and Seward counties will have to be
content with the STEW crumbs. %
We venture to say that Adams will
do nothing of which his consistency
will ever be ashamed. There will
be no Stock yard incidents. We
predict that Mr.. Adams will not in

iquity and that his constituency will
be able to find him when they go to

ONE WoMAN'S CHAT.

White spots on the finger nails tell a
very interesting story. They represent
flaws in the nutrition of the body. These
flaws will always be found In cases Of
fever. They are evidences that for some
reason nature has not done her duty In
building up the nail. The nail Is really
record Of the life history, just as the hair
is. Every hair is irregular In outline. A
weak place here, a flaw there, represents
the loss of meal or nights sleepless-
ness. If man has had q fever, 1t Is
written In his hair as well as upon his
finger nails.

venience, It has INDICATED its right to

few trifling purchases II need be. The

FOR EACH GIRL TO DECIDE.

Life seems full of new possibilities in
the opening Of new year. The ques-
ton for each girl to decide Is how to
meet the opportunities which are offered
to her, and how to make the most OF
them. There is knowledge to be gained,
because it is pearl beyond price to the
possessor; there are talents to be devel-
oped, because it Is duty to cultivate
ones gifts; there is work to be done, be-
cause work means usefulness and coll
tentment. There are always virtues to
be striven for, because they help to make
strong, noble characters. The great
thing is to aim at true and noble
wOmanhood. To be honest, to be truth.
full, to do what Is right and to keep
clear conscience would seem very simple
rules for conduct in life, yet II these are
followed happiness will come, for that
depends more on ones self than on cir
cumstances or surroundings.
Life may be full of beauty and useful
ness il one Is unselfish. Ordinary, every
day life affords so many opportunities
for doing some good service. A gentle
word spoken to one who is angry, an en-
couraging or sympathetic word to a
respondent or sad friend, an earnest
word of warning to any one who may be
In danger of folly-all these things are
very helpful. A cheerful manner has a
stimulating effect on others; sunny dis
position brightens the home, says the
Delineator. Everyone has at times
known the bracing, stimulating feeling
that comes when looking into a face
which reflects a noble, pure soul or
brave, strong one. 1t may be the face
of stranger, but the unconscious inffu-
ence of that fine character Is not lost on
the passer-by. 1t Is character which
counts In life, noble motives and high
thoughts which are worth having. With
these possessions and that sweet, maid
emily reserve, modesty and delicacy
which 20 with refinement, a girl will not
only be more charming, but will have an
influence over all her associates.
A thoughtful writer says: "We can
not all have talent, we cannot all have
great powers, we cannot all do great
work but we can all, by slow, patient
endeavor, build up character, which may
do good work, even though 1t may be
small and humble. We do not improve
the character of anybody else In any
other way so we'll as by improving our
own character, and that Is In the power
of each one of US; we can begin at once,
and we can always 90 on with this work,
wherever our lot Is cast"

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Ransnns Plaster Is Pains Mastar.)

From the natural impulse TO put some
thing on painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these Is
Beason's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; 1t Is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonns plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plastes; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters- have been honored with
Gtty.fre highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.
