During the Sikh war the late Field
Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain, who
then held the rank of colonel, called for
volunteers to assist him In blowing up

and the colonel led the little party

the fuse slowly sputtered down to the

The success of a professional man
may be largely ascertained by the
extent of his practice, people as a
rule do not employ the unsuccessful
man. Mr.. Sears, it is generally con
coded, has the largest law practice of
any attorney in Day county. Why?
Because he is a successful lawyer.
Mr.. Anderson, if our memory
serves us right, came to Day county
in 1889. At the January, 1900, term
of the circuit court he had one case
on the calendar, Mr. Sears had "a.
Before the next term Mr.. Anderson
had associated himself with an able
attorney, Josephus Alley, under
the firm name of Alley & Anderson,
the firm still exists. At the Janu-

the firm of Alley g. Anderson nine,
at the January, 1902, term Mr.Sears

The above figures can be verified
by the records in the Office of the
clerk of the circuit court.

Very simple,

A rather simple looking lad halted
before a blacksmith's shop on his way
home from school and eyed the doings
of the proprietor with much interest.
The brawny smith, dissatisfied with
the boys curiosity, held a piece of red
hot iron suddenly under the youngsters
moss. hoping to make him beat a hasty
retreat.
"If you'll give me half Il dollar, I'll
lick it." said the lad.
The smith took from his pocket half
a dollar and held it out.
The simple looking %youngster took
the coin. licked it and slowly walked
away whistling.-Chums.

1t is huniliating to look at u old
court house and then visit the differ
emit county seats throughout our
fair state and observe the imposing
structures where the county officials
hold forth. In this progressive age
it behooyes the people of the banner
county of the state to. keep in line
and erect suitable buildings for
court house and Jail. If the records
are unsafe and the room inadequate
it would be .ioney well spent to pro-
vide a suitable place for them. In
this case representation is the thief
of time"-delay is dangerous. On
the 4th of next November our citi-
zens will have a chance to vindicate
themselves by voting for the erec-
ton of suitable buildings. Do not

A MATTER OF

At the last meeting of the board
of county commissioners it was
ordered submitted to the voters OF
Day comnty the proposition of vot-
ing on bonds to build a neg court
house and Jail. That this county is
in need of such buildings there can
be no doubt. A county the size of
Day should have one of the very best
firs.proof buildings in the state. One
of the smallest counties in the state,
Hanson county, less than a year ago
lost her courthouse by fire, destroying
thousands of dollars worth of valu-
able records, and is at present build
ing a court house which, when com
pleted, will cost not less than $780,
900.
Day county's present building is
a veritable fire trap and in case of
fire everything in the building would
be damaged almost beyond repair.
There is not a vault in the building
that would protect the records from
partial destruction. 1t is not prob
able that in case Of fire the records
would be totally destroyed but there
can be no doubt that everything
would be so damaged that all the
records would have to be copied and
it has been estimated by those who
are familiar with the cost of such
work that the copying would cost
the county 100000.
In the matter of the Jail the pres
ent building is unfit and it is only
a wonder thta some one who has
been confined in there has not com
menced action for damages against
the county before this time.
To vote for new buildings is only
a matter of economy. In case of fire
we stand to lose not only the build
ing bat the records which would cost
all the said S100,000.00 to replace,
this would necessitate the issuance
of bonds in a much larger sum than
would be required to build a new
courthouse and Jail and even then
we would have no buildings. The
$100,0O0.00 would be a total loss.
The matter of expense to each
property holder would be compare
lively small, reaching only fifty cents
per year per quarter section of land,
to pay the interest on the bonds and
create a fund for their payment
when due. A large part Of the ex-
pense would be borne by the railroad,
telegraph and telephone companies
and by those parties who are now

- Aw
The World in it's last issue quotes
a paragraph wherein we say Mr.
Anderson is a goodman, andcontin-
l.ing says:
1.-THE duties of the position OF
states attorney / of such a nature
that unless a man is "A good man
he will not Ali the position properly.
He might be termed the executive
in county matters, the enforcement
of law is almost entirely in his
hands.
He prosecutes in the name of the
state in criminal cases and if he de-
sires to be lenieEs with law-breasers
he can very easily arrange his prose
cution so that acquittal will result
Now, in u opinion, it is neces-
sary for an incumbent of the Office Of
states attorney, no matter how good
"A man he may be, be well skilled
and learned in the law to secure con
victions and in this particular, we
hold hat Mr.. Sears is by far Mr..
Anderson's superior.
During the terms for which Mr.,
Sears filed the Office he has to his
credits more convictions than any
other attorney holding the position
since the organization of the county;
and it is a fact, admitted even by his
political opponents, that in the dis,
charge of his duties as attorney, he
shows no fayoritism-knows nc

JIG this be the desire of the Repor-

delighted to grant them permission
and to take a hand ia the compari-

The plain facts as disclosed by the

which Mr.. Sears has been the attor-
ney on the other side. Out OF these
fourteen cases Mr. Sears has won A,

Health of Havana.


Improvement Under American Occupation.
An interesting statement concerning
the improvement in health conditions
i'll Havana since the American occupa-
ton of Cuba, with special retel ence to
the vital statistics for the calendar year
1901. has been made public by the insu-
lar division of the War Department.
Particular attention is paid to the purg-
ing of the city flom yellow fever during
the past year by the destruction of in
fected mosquitoes 1t is of vast inn
portance. the statement says, that these
facts should be made known to the
world extensively and as rapidly as
possible. During the past forty five
years, with scarcely an exception, some
deaths have occurred from yellow fever
in every month of the year: the maxi
mum, 2.05S deaths, taking place in 1857;
the minimum, II deaths, in 1866: with
the average, 751. The number of other
infectious and contagious diseases has
been small during the calendar year 1901.
There has been very little diptheria
and typhoid fever, and the tuberculosis
rate is about that of most cities of civil
lied countries. \ rapid decrease has
taken place since American occupation.
A marked decrease in malaria also has
occurred since the mosquito work be-
gan. The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
The army took charge of the health
department of Havana when deaths
We're occurring at the rate of p, 252 per
year. 1t gives it up with deaths occur
ring at the rate of 5, 720 per year 1t
took charge with smallpox epidemic for
years,
1t gives up with not single case
having occurred in the city for over
eighteen months. 1t took charge with
yellow fever epidemic fortwo centuries.
The army has stamped out this dis
ease in its greatest stronghold, there
having been only five deaths in the last
nine months Of the past year, and no
deaths and no cases during the last
three months of the same year: and it
has demonstrated a system by which
yellow fever can be certainly controlled
without the interference of commerce.

ship and 100 of her crew: but the French
vessel escaped during hurricane and
was towed by her small boats into the
harbor of Curacao. In the old times
all these little bays and harbors that
encircle the island were often the refuge
of buccaneers, if not their acknowledged
home. Rumor has it that some of the
Oldest and most arlstocratlc families
still retain valuable remnants of ancient
pillage, some of which occasionally
finds its way to the government pawn
