A Poor Citizen.

If YOU want to hinder the pro-
gress of your town, here is a
good rule to go by. Refuse to
take YOUR town paper. Never
send it an item Of news, never
speak a good word for the paper,
but rediCt its failure and say all
you can against 1t. Be very sure
you do not advertise in its
columns. Urge your friends to
subscribe for other paper, but
never ask them to take your
town paper. Have all your
printing done III some other
town. Get mad with the editor
every time he fails to put your
name in the paper when you
leave town. Give the editor a
"cossin' every time he prints an
article that does not harmonic
with your views. Follow these
faithfully, and you
will be sure to make your town
move MISUNDERSTANDING

Strong Men.

The Roman soldiers, who
built such wonderful roads and
carried a weight of armor and
luggage that would crush the
average farmland, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour
wine. They were temperate in
diet and regular aud constant in
exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half
the night, yet eats only his
black bread, onion and water
melon. The Smyrna porter eats
only a little fruit and sour olives,
yet he walks off with his load of
one hundred pounds. The Coolie,
fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro.

Value of Newspapers.

Daniel Webster said this in
discussing the value of news
papers Small is the sum that
is required to patronize a news
paper, and we'll rewarded are
the patrons. | care not how
humble and unpretending the
gazette he takes, it is next to
impossible to fill a sheet with
out putting something IN it that
is worth the subscription price.
No home should be without its
newspaper and every parent
whose son is away at school
should supply him with a news
paper. | we'll remember the
difference between those of my
school mates who had and those
who had not access to news
papers. Other things being
equal, the first were. superior
to the last Il debate, conposit-
ion and -ltelligence."

A Newspapers Assets.

a newspape is primarily a
business enterprise, says the
Fresno (Cal) Republican. Its
function is to gather and print
news, and sell it to whomsoeve1
will buy. Yet newspaper is
universally regarded as having
a responsibility in the commune
1ty that belongs to no other
business, when other business
men non Committal on a public
question, for fear it will hurt
their business to take sides, the
neWsIaper-whose business is
more responsive to the fuCtua~
tons of popularity than any
other enterpr1se-must neVerthe-
less take the first and largest
responsibility OF utterance upon
itself. If other business men do
not keep their goods clean they
lose custom, but do'not PAL ticuI~
arly harm anybody but them>
selves. If newspaper does not
keep its news clean it gains bus,
mess, but corrupts the Commun-
1ty, aud is held responsible there

Its newspaper seriously OF light
ly, 1t always regards them as
more than business, as a forum
whose opportunity for publicity
may be used for good OF evil.

Topeka, July 30.-The appropriations
for all purposes for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1902, aggregate 2,6l0, CAT,
and for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1908, S2,O22, ,5G7 The legislature also
placed limit Of 81, 900, 900 a year upon
the boards levy which is not enough
to cover the appropriations made by
the legislature, OF course there are
certain fees collected ty the various de-
partments of state which revert to the
general revenue at the close Of the fis-
cal year, but these will not meet the
deficiency. The total amount Of fees
for the fiscal year just closed approx
mate S975, 900, 1t is unlikely in view
OF the crop shortage that the amour
will be larger for the ensuing year.
The aggregate assessed valuation Of
property, as returned by the various
counties was S3ii, i,GG6, 2l0, but this
amount has been raised by the equali-
zation board to S363, ,O45, The levy
of 81 mills upon the total assessed
valuation will raise an amount which
nearly reaches the Sc, 900, 900 limit fixed
by the Legislature.
