Civil war pensioners in what is
known as the Topeka district,
comprising three states and two
territories, are dying off at the
rate of three hundred per month.
The average age of the pension
ers is now 90 years. The death
rate is bound to increase from
now on, and it is estimated that
in ten years the actual soldier
pensioners in this district will be
less than 10000. AT present the
number exceeds 100000. The old
soldiers have reached an age
when they cannot long survive.

An exchange tells of a fakir
who is working the towns and
cities in the following manner:
He drives through the country
and sells soap at SIS per box,
which sum includes the price of
40 yards of carpet selected from
samples which he carries with
him. He takes the SIS, leaves the
box of soap, promises to deliyer
the carpet within a week, and
drives away. The soap is prob
ably worth so cents. 1t stays
with the purchaser. The carpet
is worth probably SIS, but it
stays with the fakir and has not
been deliyered to a single victim.

The Hon. David Bennett Hill
made speech before the Jeffer-
son Club of Buffalo the other day
which is full of good sense and
doctrine. Referring to the con-
tinued formation of trusts and
com bines which dazzle by the
holiness of their conception and
the boundless extent of their pro-
posed operations. Mr.. Hill in
dulged in some speculations asto
the attitude of Thomas Jefferson
toward these great concerns ifhe
were here to take a part in public
affairs of to-day. Among other
remedies which Jefferson might
suggest, Mr.. Hill said, would be
that the government, in justice
to its overburdened taxpayers,
should withdraw it's tariff favors.
"We may be sure" Mr.. Hill add,
ed, "that he would not appoint to
Office of Attorney General man
recommended by the promoters
of these schemes, whose official
province it would be to prosecute
violators of the Federal statutes
passed 20 prevent the consume

We have about completed the
township assessment, and altho
well posted on the possibilities of
this great and grand country, we
must confess that our under
standing of what might really be
done, is but little in advnnce of
the lowest primary grade. Why,
we actually found an individual
who plowed and sowed $50 acres
of wheat with one two-horse team,
all the tools he used were a small
walking plow and eight-hoe drill
and both of these were old and
value1ess. With a garden hoe or
some other implement that was
too old to list, this same man
raised some corn which was so
large that a crib 12x14 and 10 feet
high wouldn't hold but fifty bush
els of it-great country, this.
These figures are true CD be-
cause the fellow who ought to
know, was willing to and actually
did state them as facts over his
own signature which was affixed
to a solemn oath. Secretary Co
burn should certainly spread a
few such items as this on the
pages of his next annual report
besides serving as boom adver-
Using it would also prove to the
world that we are entitled to the
championship liar gold medal

Auburn, Nd, April ia careful in

County reveals the startling fact that
Peter Evans, we'll known resident of

rested more times within a given per-

Evans was arrested 100 times for in
toxication, 129 times of which he was
placed in jail, ''just to sober up" and
forty times he was tried and convicted.
1t shows that the time spent in Jail was
1929 days. The total cost to the coun-
ty for the period mentioned was $651.
Evans has just completed ten-days'
sentence for intoxication, and by his
own request has become an inmate of
the county infirmary. At one time
Evans was worth between twenty-five
and thirty thousand dollars, all OF
