The stock. He did all his own work,
keeping books, collecting bills snd de-
liyering packages. He next added de-

pushed by close attention and enterprise
in meeting the needs Of the people until
the past month eleven people we're em'
ployed in handling his trade. he has

Lord Kitchener.


They sent him out TO Hindia,
To quiet the natives some:
He burned their homes, and left theil
bones
To bleach in the torrid sun.
And when he got back to Hingland,
They told him he was "Bsaut";
And they made him a knight, for they
said he could fight,
And gave him some medals TO boot.
Next they sent him away up the Nile
Where the Arabs defended their land
He killed the niggers galore, and left
their gore
To blacken the deserts sand.
And when he got back to Hingland,
They gave him rousing cheers;
And they made lord, because with
rifle and sword,
He had slaughtered soma niggers with
spears.
And now he is down in the Transyaal,
Where he expected 10 kill them oil fast
But he hasn't done much, since he met
the Dutch,
For he is up against men at last.
And when he cables to Hingland,
He has this story 10 tell:
"This hisn't much fun, for they'e all got
guns,
"And are just a givin' hus 'ell".

pond it is a little annoying to find the
politicians of that party now echoing
every little populistic yelp against men
who have had ability to build up for
themselves business and a competency.
Men who have shown that they have
power and independence, are to be
sacrificed for some nondescript who will
barter his independence and the offices
at his command for the nomination. He
will afterwards cut in the United States
senate the same figure as BOBBY at a
country picnic. Men of the Quay and
Clark order, who buy and sell other
men, are higher type than he who
barters his independence to ring of
politicians that he may enjoy the
emoluments of an Office. If the mercy
of the Almighty is capable of covering
the sins of the republican party it will
be because of their being at least the
defenders of the business interests of the
country. The party claims that by the
fat of high tariff it built up the railroads
and all the giant industries of our nation.
That but for them the plains of Nebraska
today would be without the screech of
the locomotive or the whirr of the twine
binder. That the howl of the coyote
would today reverberate where we hear
the dying wall of the pop.

are but samples of the creatures who for
four hundred years had infested Europe
as sovereigns. By magnifying their
military genius and eliminating entirely
their personal life it has been possible to
make few of them presentable enough
to be used for fixing the dates of the real
events of their reigns. With one ex
ception, every ruler in Europe today is
respectable or acknowledges that it is
respectable to appear SO. This change
was not wrought by statutes but by the
force of character, influence and example
of Victoria and Louise. Upon nearly
every throne in Europe is found today
the descendants of these two noble
women. And with them has gone that
beauty of moral integrity that graced
for so many years the courts of England
and Denmark. To them the world owes
greater debt than any glories of war
or extended empire.
No infdel, from Bruno to Ingersoll,
ever put the Christian church in such a
terrible light as have it's own dignitaries
in this Chinese affair. There has never
been one iota of the Christian spirit of
charity and love exhibited. Not only is
the evidence daily growing that ignor-
ance, bigotry, and audacity of the
missionaries caused the uprising, but
the church has demanded blood and
plunder. The unseemly scramble Of
politicians for office and their wrath
when ousted is the only comparison to
the hunt after soft foreign missions and
the present disgraceful position of the
church. All utterances show that lack
of power is all that prevents repetition
in China of the barbarities that have
always followed that power, in the
history of the church. Were the fol-
lowers of Confucius leading an aggressive
proselyting campaign in this country
would there not be danger of "native
uprising headed by the priests?" Has
there not already been enough developed
to explain why the Chinese and Japanese
fail to appreciate the 'beauties of the
Christian religion?" With less than ten
per cent of our own people attendants at
church, with millions of actual unbeliev-
ers in its very fundamental doctrines it
would appear that China might be left
for while until the United States is
Christianized and the church turn its
attention for season to the contempla.

it's choir or the church debt.

is IT But A Pipe DREAM?
That Story About Cold Fields
In Carroll County
Revised.

John M. Gambert, of Pine Hill.
Somerset county, Pa, was in Canton
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Gambert had
been on a business trip into Carroll
county, and while there concluded TO
visit the farm of James Vanmeter, in
Harrison township to see what there
was in the story that Vanmeter had
found gold among the hills of his farm.
When Mr.. Gambert arrived at the
home of the prospector, he found MIN
busy at work with his machinery and
very enthusiastic over the prospects,
Of wealth. Said Mr.. Gambert: ..r
"Vanmeter showed me the re-
ports of q number of ASSAYS
covering as many samples of O, 8
sent to expert metallurgists The assays
showed that the ore had a value of
from $5 to s37 per ton of gold, with
races of some other metals. Another
specimen Of metal found on the Van
meter farm is said to be ochre, and is
considered quite valuable in the esti-
nation of Vanmeter.
" OF course | know nothing of the stuff
myself. Vanmeter has spent a lot of
money on getting assays and putting in
machinery. He has erected a smelter
and puts in his entire time working
with the ore and prospecting. He seems
to have lost all interest in farming and
SO infatuated that he talks of
nothing else.
Quite a number of strangers have
visited the farm and make a pretense
OF being interested. but whether they
are in earnest or not. 1 cannot say"
Vanmeter is one of the parties con-
nected with the prospecting done in the
cave near Malvern some years ago, and
he claims that he was frozen out by
the gang and then went to skirmishing
on his own farm about three miles dis
tant. ..'f.
The people in the neighborhood gen
rally do not give much credence to the
reports OF gold being fund in paying
Quantities, and they 80 on in the even
tenor Of their way coming money out of
their farms, their dreams undisturbed
by visions Of sudden and easy wealth.

she Will not go, she says, for the reason

In her mail was one letter from John
G. Woolley, late prohibition candidate
for president. Mr.. Woolley was lately
appealed to by the w. C. T. u to come
to Wichita and defend Mrs. Nation in
her trial for wrecking the Carey hotel
saloon fixtures. He said he would try
to arrange his affairs so as to be in at

he will surely be here. Her trial is set
for next Saturday, but on account of
the Jail being quarantined it is probablc
that the hearing will be postponed.

SENATOR WILHELM
May Have Trouble Getting a
Reorganization.
SALA HAS A BEE BUZZING.
The Minerva Man Wants to Be Law
Maker-WilI Have Trouble In
His Own County.

Carrollton, Jan. f--It is said by poll
ticians in a position to know, that sew
eral Carroll county aspirants are after
Senator Wilhelm's shoes.
They do not credit him with being en-
titled to second term as state senator
for the reason that he has already had
two terms as representative, and it is
also asserted that he deprived Carroll
county of her right two years ago tc
the senatorsh'ip. Carroll politicians
are on the war-path and are looking
for revenge and scalps. Wilhelm S
head covering Is the one they now have
their eye on.
Just who all will bob up for the place
is not known, except S. B. Sala, editor
Of the Minerva News-Kodak, who lives
on the Carroll side of the line. Sala has
ong pined to be statesman. He ran for
representative against Rutan and
Weaver His showing was not hatter-
ing. But his ambition still burns.
He has long posed as temperance
reformer, and his present longing, it
said, may have back of it little
boost given by the anti-saloon league.
{ is said that organization has it in
FOR Wilhelm on account of sundry acts
of his in behalf of the saloon interests
during the last legislature.
Agents of the anti-saloon league have
been in Carrollton for some purpose
and some of the local workers have
been visiting the Canton headquarters
10 get instructions on some line. As
that organization Is said to be more
political than reformatory, it is pre-
sumed that the matters under con-
sideration are of a political nature.
Sala will make fight for the Carroll
county delegation and a part of Stark.
Word comes to Carroll that many. sec
lions of Stark are not friendly toward
he present senator, notably Alliance.
With this disaffection, and the leverage
that the common pleas judge fight
may give, the undoing of Wilhelm is
thought to be possible.
Sala, however, may have trouble in
Carroll. He was a rampant Hanna man
and antagonized the Foraker element,
which Is the dominant faction here.
While the chiefs may have harmonized,
there is no forgetting many of the local
personalities which entered into the
contests during the great inter- party
fight. Sala abused Rutan, and that sen
sational statesman has long memory
ana an equally long knife. That he
would permit Sala TO have his own
way cannot be for a moment considered
1t is urged on the other hand, how
ever that Wilhelm is anti-Foraker and
is as little acceptable as would be the
Minerva editor, and a third man Is
being looked for who would be strong
enough to win out and who could be
trusted by both factions.
The matters is being discussed on the
quiet and a slate may be arranged
among politicians of both counties that
will mean Wilhelm's finish.
