WORTH 100000 900.
The President of a certain bio Oil Con

The President of a certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 900, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heayiness, weakness or pain.
It may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism ]; 1t may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at q dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, iniments, lotions. etc., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. It relieves at once
and cures quickly. 1t stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or
We will prepay postage on any number
ordered in the United States on receipt of

How They Differed.

During the last term of the late Zeb
Vance in the United States senate his
brother, Robert Vance. was elected to
represent the Asheyille On. Co. district
in the lower branch of congress. One
Sunday morning soon after Robert
made his appearance in Washington a
friend asked the senator if he and Rob
ert agreed on the subject of religion as
well as they did on politics.
NO" replied the senator; Bob is a
Methodist and believes in falling from
grace, but never falls, while l am a
Presbyterian and don't believe in fail
ing from grace, but am all the time
falling" York Times.

does not care to dispose of for small

some time and get a good sum. George
is good hostler and will put them
in good shape.
George Gray, the founder and faith
er of the town, arrived last Friday
from his big ranch near Centerville,
Texas He found his goods all safe
and prospecting there, but finds need
of rain. We understand he will ship
car of corn down there for feed as
soon as he can get Santa Fe car in
here. The grass does not afford very
luxuriant growth now that can be APP
piled to the feed of stock.
John Renftle, who has been mana
ger here the past year for the Musson
firm, at Audubon, in the grain eleva-
tor wound up their business here,
Tuesday, and closed the door so far as
that firm is concerned. He did good
business for them, considering the
year, but this was an exceptional
hard year on grain men and hence the
firm drop the experiment with the
good will of all the community.
The creamery is still in need of one
hauler for the season and we are told
by the buttermaker, w. j. Lancelot,
it is ono of the best routes they have.
Mr.. Lancelot is inclined to think this
will be one of the best seasons they
have ever had. He still continues to
get his one-half cent prize money for
good butter so that it means a good
deal for the farmer in the long run to
have man ascompetent as him at the
wheel.
The gospel meetings continue with
fervor. About sixty people have now
come out and promised to lead bet

tinued the afternoon meetings and are
making personal visit to people who
cannot get out to the meetings. And
already the sentiment is changing and
people begin to see that there is a
brighter side to the life that is held
up by those who help men up and
make families happier and saves mon.

FAD BECAME A MANIA.
1ssnpted by Harvard Book Plates. a
Doctor Turned Thief.


1t would seem from the experience
of the Harvard college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and expen-
sive mania. A few years ago the Har-
ward library found that the engraved
labels which it pastes on the inside of
the covers of its books as marks of it's
ownership were disappearing from
some of the less used volumes. The
older book plates, it appears, are high
ly priced by collectors, and some of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well as for interesting
associations with early book collect
ing in this country. These were natu-
rally the special prey of the thief.
Detectives took the matter in hand
and the offender was discovered with
full evidence of his guilt upon him.
He confessed to stealing the librarys
property and to having it in his pos
session. By the time the matter reach
ed the courts the greater part of the
book plates had been restored, the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons to whom he had sold or given
them, and, as the prisoner had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put, the college consented to leave
the matter of sentence with the court
which imposed fine of $3.50 on one
count and put the other count on file,
to be brought up again later if it should
be desirable, meanwhile, placing the
offender under $1,000 bonds for his fu-
ture appearance if he should be want
ed.
striking point in the case is that
the guilty man is in no way common
criminal. His education Che has a de-
gree of doctor and his taste seem only
to have made his thefts more intelli-
gent and discriminating, however. He
knew the value of his peculiar booty,
and he knew how to dispose of it, his
very personality being a protection to
him in that part Of his misdemeanor.
Apparently the fad developed to a ma
MIA and that to kleptomania in his
mind
A number Of the stolen plates have
not yet been traced at all, and collect
ors have been warned against accept
ing Harvard plates of the older en-
graved varieties unless there is unmis-
taxable evidence that they came hon
estly into the possession of the person
who offers them.

HoWTHE CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue In the
Celestial Kingdom.

Celestial Kingdom.
1t is one Of the pecunarities Of the
Chinese that. while they have develop
ed elaborate philosophers, none Of them
has led to any confidence In the uni.
fornity of nature. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes of rainfall. The plan
In some provinces when the need OF
rain is felt Is to borrow a god from n
nefghboring district and petition him
for the desired rain. Ii his answer is
satisfactory, he is'returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out in the sun as hint
to wake up and do his duty. A bunch
Of willow is usually thrust into his
hand, as willow is sensitive to mois-
ture
Another plan in extensive use is the
building of special temples in which
are wells containing several iron tab
lets. When there is scarcity of rain,
q messenger starts out with tablet
marked with the date of the journey
and the name Of the district making
viz PSk1eiOAs AIMING at dllOlNSI City,
he pays a sum Of money and is allow.
ed to draw a new tablet from the we'll,
throwing in his own by way of ex-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some
times he passes through districts as
greatly in need of rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and. temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended fer anoth-
err place.
Prayers are usually made in the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall IS
always due, and limit of ten DAYS
is set for their effective operation. I'm
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time When the
prayers are in progress, the umbrella,
among other objects, comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.

Rev. IrI R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all pre-
vious years. To say that such re-
suits, reaching through Thirty years
are not based upon sound sense and
usefulness, is an insult to the intel
ligence of the millions. Prof Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his
famous family and scientific journal,
WoRD AND WoRKs, is doing a work
for the whole people not approached
by any other man or publication. A
fair test will prove this to any
reasonable person. Added to the
most luminous course in astronomy
for 1903 forecasts storms and
weather are given, as never before,
for every day in the year, all charm

NEVADA is the only State west o
the Missouri River, in which al
election was held that has remained
in the Democratic ranks. The De
mocratic papers of the State hal
this fact as a great achievement, not
withstanding it is reported on pretty
good authority that it cost one man
not less than $225 900 to secure this
result. The situation, to us, is like
unto the lone juryman who hung
out against the other eleven and de-
clared them to be the most stubborn
men he he had ever come in contact
with.
Has it ever occurred to the people
Of NeyaCa that ;a & as tkey
did last week they have virtually re
pudiated the administration of Pre-
sident Roosevelt; that they have said
to the best friend the West ever had
in the presidential chair, we are op-
posed to your efforts in our behalf
or at any rate we do not need your
assistance; that we will send to
Congress two representatives who
will by force of party ties be com
PEELED to antagonize any and all
you advocate for the welfare of the
West? And, again, does it occur to
the people of Nevada that our two
representatives, will be so greatly in
the minority that they can accomp-
lish nothing with Republican Con-
gress and Republican President?
Can the people expect the admins
istration to do much for the State
under the present circumstances?
Do the people believe that the in
fuence of Mr.. Newlands and Mr..
Van Duzer will be great enough to
compel the President and Repub- !
lican Congress to give to the Demo
Gratis the credit for anything that
may be accomplished for Nevada in
the next two years? These are some
things which the people of this State
have not well considered. They will
consider them during the coming
two years, very likely, and with
candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1904, will be brought face
to face with the proposition of sup
porting a real friend of the State or
those who have been friends in a
fictitious way only.-Lyon County
