One Thousand Put to Death.

Suppose the Government should issue an order to put one thousand men to death, and likewise one thousand women, during the next week the name of every adult in this country to be written on q card and placed in a large cylinder, well shaken, and to be drawn out by blindfolded person; and the men whose names appear on the first thousand cards, as well as the women whose names appear on the first thousand cards, so drawn, to be put to death. For fear your name might be among those drawn, don't you think you would take out some good, safe life in surance? Death has issued orders for some of the people of this com munity. Do you know your name has not been drawn? Prepare for the inevitable. Write Blount C. Trice, Arkansas City, Ark, about the New York Life Insurance Co. He will call to see you.

MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT.
Bloom ington Bulletin

Bloom ington Bulletin
 The St Louis Grand Jury which has been Investigating municipal bribery and corrup- tion finds that the results are appalling and the people have but a vague conception of the extent to which the thefts have been carried. These things can only be developed by changes at the polls. Long domination of a party in a city reduces corrup- tion to an exact science, no matter how large or small the town. The question of popula- tion has to do only with amounts, and not principles. If the people will only pay atten- tion as they do to their private business and use the power at

Gov Davis letter to his friends to send no Jones men to the State Convention, was one of the worst breaks he ever made. The best thing he can do is to admit, at once, that this was another of his mistakes.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.

"It has been some two years since the city dis pensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and 1 have repeatedly used it and it has always proved beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than ono bottle to cure them of hoarseness. have persuaded many to try this valuable medi cine, and they are as well pleased as myself over the results" For sale by Brown, McQuiston < Go.
 Gen. Wade Hampton Is dead. and the people of the south mingle their tears with South Carolina in the passing of her most illustrious citizen. For more than so years Wade Hampton has been most conspicuous figure in southern history. He served his state and his country in many public capaci- ties. and his service was such as to commend him as an honest, capa ble and patriotic official While he did not dazzle the public eye by his brllliancy, he always measured up to public expectations. His superb courage, his perfect loyalty to his cause and his devotion to his people through all the vicissitudes of the civil war gave him high place in the affection of his coun- trymen. After the war he served his state and his country as United States Senator with credit and distinction. The best blood of the south coursed his veins. but there came time when high blood, splendid service and brilliant achievements counted for nothing in South Carolina. He lost when the upheavel in politics came that placed the agitator and the smaller politicians in power. Yet impar- tial history will declare that Wade Hampton was in all respects and in all positions. soldier, statesman and civilian, worthy of the highest honors his countrymen could be- stow upon him. He was q grand and heroic character. true to every trust.-Ark. Democrat.

GROWING BUFFALO HERDS.
Canadian Bison Promise to Become
Quite Numerous in the Next
Few Years.

The buffaIOes are increasing in such
proportions in Canada that they
promise in the course of a few years
to become again fairly abundant.
Some time ago they threatened to
become extinct, says a Quebec. report
The herd Of woods buffaloes in
the Peace river district has trebled
In size under the protection afforded
It by the Northwest mounted police.
Five years ago it was estimated that
there were not more than so buffalOes
in the herd; now there are 400.
In appearance there is little differ
ence between the woods buffalo and
the plains buffalo. The former Is
merely a larger, richer-cOated animal.
1t differs materially, however, in its
habits from the subspecies which in
habited the plains, and which has IN
dOUbtedly passed away, except for
the presence of a few animals in cap
tivity and in the Yellowstone Nation
al park.
This species preferred the plain and
Travelled hundreds Of miles In its an
nual migrations, while the Canadian

KANSAS DAY BANQUET.
Not Good Thing said in the Five Hours
OF Speaking says I'd Howe, OF the
AtchisUm Globe

From the Atchison Globe.
In the list Of speakers at the meeting
Of the Kansas Day club, there was lust
two men who might have said some
thing, hut neither Of them did. We re-
fer to Charley Finch and ". H. ROssing-
ton. There wasn't a good thing said in
speaking" thatlasted i've hours. Charley
Finch, original wit that he is, read his
speech and no one can say anything
under such circumstances.
Finch told Of the greatness Of Nc
Kinley. OF course Mckinley was great,
but his friends do not demand that Il be
mentioned in every public address. We
are also surprised that Finch sprang a
poker joke. In Kansas politics it is
always in order TO tell a poker or whisky
joke, and then say, But Of course, as I

it may be-, know nothing about such
talk" Mr.. Finch also waved the flag
awhile, and worked 10 Gettysburg and

is no doubt proud Of this boy. Homer
also mourned Mckinley. Hesaid: Since

THUMB-MARK AS A SEAL.
Has Been Used in China and Else
where in AttestatiOn Of Legal
Documents.

An army officer in Arizona used TO
make his orders for payment on a
camp sutler, and use his own thumb
mark to serve the same purpose as the
elaborate markings on bank checks.
The thUmb-mark has been used IN
China and elsewhere in attestation Of
deeds. Sir William Herschel intro
duced finger marks for practical pur-
poses in several ways in India. He had
heard that Chinese criminals in early
times were made TO give the impress
sions of their fingers just as the Grim
inals Of this country are now photo
graPhed. In Egypt the criminals were
made to seal their confessions with
their thumbnails, as the country serT-
ant girls used to seal their letters. Ae-
cOrdEngly Sir William adopted the reg
istTatiOn Of finger markings for pen
siOners. He suspected that others
PersOnated these officials after the
Pensioners were dead; he therefore
employed this means Of Identification.
This led>to the scientific Identification
Of criminals-each prisoner signed a
book with his finger. Comparing the
signatures Of persons made after an
interval of 20 years he proved that
time makes no such material differ
ence as to affect the utility Of the plan.
There is a marked difference between
the marks Of males and females.

Reports that viii not down spring up
about twice each year that the Rock

vice, Of the Rock Island, visited Philips
burg Tuesday in a special car to person
ally investigate the water problem at that
place. 1t Is said that Mr.. Parker assur-
ed the Pbillipsburg people that the divi-
sion would not be moved until another
test well had been put down. but other
reports state that TIE division viii be
moved TO either Almena or Norton as
soon as a decision can be reached between
the two points. Almena viii DO noubt
be the point chosen. The water supply
there is better than at Norton. and the
road owns considerable land at Athena.
