Beats a Bounty.

The White Cloud Globe publishes a
Sol Miller story. Many years ago, when
Sol was running the Chief in White
Cloud, the gophers became a great
pest to the farmers. Sol had the idea
that If the farmers would only set
themselves seriously about the bust
ness they could soon rid the country
of these troublesome animals. So he
got up story in connection with a
travelling hide buyer to the effect that
in the fall the buyer would pay
10 cents apiece for all the gopher hides
brought to him. Everybody went to
trapping and killing gophers, Several
speculated in the hides, buying them
from the farmers in large quantities.
or course the buyer failed to turn up,
but the gopherS had been exterminat.
ed, and when the fellows got over
being mad at Sol they saw the value
of his deception. Kansas Notes In

Ashamed Of Their Record.

People have heard every since the
landing of the Ark, Of men claiming,
that In a secret ballot they voted for
the successful candidate, but never
was there a case where men rushed in
to print to prove they voted for the
losing man, until Ed. HOch was de-
feated for state printer. There have
already members enough who claimed
they voted for him to give him a
good big majority.-DiSpatch.
Yes, and we know of certain
prominent politicians in this little
city, who, while the fight was in pro-
greSS claimed to be favorable to Mr..
Hoch and since the outcome have
publicly denounced the methods by
which he was beaten, yet because
they desire nothing in politics but the
success of the machine and faction of
the party of which they are part,
said amen to the result. Personal
and most intimate friendship to the
defeated candidate was not to be com.
pared to the loyalty that must be
shown faction and that of the most
corrupt kind, because only through
services to this faction do its adher-
entS expect to realize their political
aspirations. During a caucus of t he
machine members which determined
the contest Mr.. Royce is reported to
have made a plea for Mr.. Hoch and to
have inquired if some plan could not
be devised by which Hoch could be
nominated.
Leland is said to have replied in
something of the following manner.
DIN Ed Hoch, no, | wouldn't be Cy
Leland If | didn't defeat him. He
has always fought me aud l will fight
him. And so, 1t was stated and so, 1T
transpired. That is only one scene
from machine politics. And methods
of that kind are endorsed by the
author Of the above clipping.

Hero Worship.

Carlyle declared that "hero worship
exists, has existed and will forever
continue to exist universally among
rNanklnd." Some may take except
ijns to this statement. Yet in the
main its truth must be admitted.
Every one selects some other person
or persons whom he admires and after
whom his actions and ideals are
patterned to a greater or lesser de-
gree.
Now, if this hero or heroes happens
to be of noble and lllustrious charac-
ter, the worshipper will be benefited
by it. If, however asfrequently hap
pens, the hero is not Of good character
and repute the worshipper will just as
certainly be injured by it.
The selection of a hero while de-
pending largely upon the nature of
the Individual is also inhuenc ed by
circumstances over which he has no
control, as the product Of the press,
especially the daily papers which
every one is expected to read.
just at this time the papers are fill
ed with sketches Of Cole Younger the
noted bandit who was recently parOl.
ed from a Minnesota prison. The
bravery Of Younger may have been
unparalleled. He may have possessed
many admirable traits of character.
There are some good qualltiesin all.
But IL is the deeds which one performs
and not the traits Of character or per.
Sonal qualities, by which he is judged,
and which influence the actions Of
others. In reading the history Of
such a life the imaginative boy sees
only the daring bandit in most en-.
chanting halo Of Outlawry, Any good
qualities which he possesses are com.
pletcly eclipSed by the record upon
which his fame rests. Many a lad is
thus led to select such a one as his
ero, his ideal, his model, and other
literature so easily procured gives his

A Gem from the Dispatch.

The stockholders in the wobbly old
Herald having become tired of the
peaceful condition of affairs, called
upon Lyman this week and told him to
jump straddle of the Dispatch man,
and the young man, who jumps only
when the string is pulled, did as he
was directed. A young man with the
ability and bright prospects of Lyman
MatteSOn ought to be in better bust
ness than allowing himself to be made
a cats paw Of, for a lot of cOwardly
"haS beenS."
The above is clipped from the last
issue of the Dispatch, because it is de-
serving of more extensive circula.
tion than the Dispatch can give it.
Few people realize what a master of
the Kings English we have in our
Z very midst, but this will give them an
idea of the authors talent and the
high standard of the Dispatch which
publishes many similar articles. The
authors imagination is very vivid, a
most desirable quality in writer Of
consequence, and his portrayal of the
fictitious unsurpassed. There is how
ever another reason for publishing the
above. 1t contains fine compliment
to the editor Of this journal, and for
which thanks are due. And say, too
by the way, If you are not subscriber
for the Dispatch you ought to be.
Your subscription might give you just
such a "puff" as the above, and you
will never know the value Of adverts-
ing of that kind until you try 1t.

Marvin Is to Have a Hall.

Arrangements have been made for
building fine new hall at Marvin.
1t will be 60x24 feet, with hall rooms
above and business rooms below.
Work has ALREADY begun and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, until
building Is completed. A number Of
the business men of Marvin and
vicinity are interested in the project,
and this in itself Is sufficient to
guarantee its successful termination.
Though not large town Marvin is a
fairly good business point having a
large area Of country to the south
from which trade Is drawn. The
building Is sign Of growth and i'm
prOvement and 1t is safe to predict
that other improvements will follow
Outside Of boom times, enterprises of
this nature are not undertaken unless
the progress of the town warrants it.
The country upon which the town de-
ponds Is prosperous, therefore the
town Is growing. Good for Marvin.

In Probate Court.

Last Saturday upon complaint of
Mrs. Sadie Stahlman, of CORTLAND,
Republic county, habeas corpus pro-
ceedings were instituted in the pro-

Words East and West.

1t makes all the difference in the
world where the language is used.
According to President Harris of
Amhearst, for instance, a word that
is looked on as profanity in Boston
may express the deepest sentiment
out West, In proof of which he tells
the following story;
"a rough minor died out West, and
was laid away by his fellow laborerS,
with common slab Of stone to mark
his resting place. On The stone was
this inscription;

Avoid The Blues.

! There are a lot of people in this
world who seem to take a tiendish de-
light in being miserable and in max
ing others feel that way, too.
| Some men, anc some women, too,
surround themselves with an atmoS-
phere of gloom that eternal sunshine
couldn't diSpel, and through this dis.
tOrting medium molehills grow to
mountains and there are tears and
groanS where there should be smiles.
They wake up In the morning with
a face that looks like Sodden dough-
nut, and perha pS the sun Is bright
and the birds are singing. They will
grumble and say, "Oh, well, this
won't last; we'll have bad weather
yet before night" And should the
sky grow clouded and a refreshing
rain moiSten the thirsty earth, they
shout in glee, IL told you SO"
When they sit down to breakfast
they almost sour the cream they put
in the coffee, and the most tempting
breakfast does them about as much
good as carpet tack sandwich would.
They grow dyspeptic, morose, pessim.
istic, cynical, hypocbondriacal and
get to be downright nuisances.
Maybe you have cynic In your EN-.
ploy. You can spot him with your
hands tied behind you and your eyes
shut. He has the blues without reas.
on, is depressed without cause, from
Monday morning till Saturday night.
He will tell you that he always gets
the worst of it from everybody, that
his efforts are not appreciated nor his
talents recognized, and ill you full of
nonsense like that, and if you are not
careful, you will begin to believe him
and get that way yourself.
After the cynic has been blue Ger.
tain length of time he realizes the
brOoding stage, and any man that
broodes over real or fancied wrongs is
as dangerous as 1.-THE lean and hungry
CasSiuS." He is not sane: the outside
world is mirrored through a faulty
glass, and ninety-nine times out Of a
hundred, he is poor workman,
whether he digs bitches Or manages
big business.
Why Just because he thinks too
much about what other people think
Of him and is SO afraid that somebody
else is going to be shown preference
over him that he hasn't time to do
his work the way it ought to be done.
He deliberately destroys his own
efficiency and chances of success, and
the very miSfortunes that he imaglnes
will some day fall to his lot actually
come to him and all through his own
doingS. Then he goes about among
his friends and snarleS out his woes
and worries, till every one begins TO
feel the world would be better
of without him.
II you ever get TO feeling blue about
things stop and think what it will
mean II you keep it up, and then pin
your mind on your daily task that
there isn't room for another thing in
your head. That's the way to keep
the haunting spirit Of pessimlSm and
dependency out Of your heart.
And remember the world has no
time to listen to your troubles, for
everyone has troubles of his own, and
the chances are that a good many
have great deal heavier burdens to
bear than you have,-KanSas City
World.

Nerve Failed Them.

Omaha, Neb., UcJ. 4-Only for
the failing of their nerve at the last
moment, number of Delta Gamma
society girls would have preventd the
wedding of Miss Ruth Bryan to Will s,
liam Homer Leavitt at Lincoln last
night.
A number of girls, it is said. had
carefully laid plans to kidnsp the
groom in order to prevent the mar
riage, which they all opposed.
AT the eleventh hour some of the
girls weakened, which, together with
their consideration for the feelings of
Miss Bryan, prevented the plot from
being carried out.
The project of preventing or delay
ing the wedding had its origin week
ago when the Delta Gamma held
their annual house warming at Lin
coin. Mr.. Leavitt was discussed and
pulled to piece by members present
who decided that he was not the kind
OF a man for Miss Bryan, whp was a
great favorite with her mates.
From wishing something would
happen to prevent the ceremony the
girls began planning for something to
happen and decided upon their kid
mapping scheme.
In the emergency the girls sought
the aid of men at the university and
secured their promises to assist at
what they thought was college
prank, the nature of which was not
unfolded. In detail the plan was to
inform Mr., Lavitt at the hotel that
Miss Bryan desired him to come to
her residence Immediately. and car
rige was to be sent. for him. AS The
carriage was to be driven to a cave
several miles south of the city. trust
ing that Mr.. Leavitt would not notice
the direction taken in the dark.
Arriving at the cave the college
men were to take hand and securely
bind Leavitt, place him in the cave
! and keep him for several days.
1t is said the plot was not aban-
doned until the afternoon of the GER
emony. when some of the Delta Gam
mas weakened and others dscided that
the shock would be too great for
Miss Bryan.

Tobacco Culture.

An agricultural experiment which
may lead to the addition of a valuable
product for this valley. has been tried
by Mr.. W. Il. Dowery. who lives on
First street at the corner of Colorado
avenue.
The experiment is in the successful
growing of some fine tobacco plants
in his garden. This is the second
season Mr.. Dowery has grown the
plant and both seasons the plants
have full matured and produced seed
which has fully ripened.
This season the plants were self
sown which would cause them to be
much later than plants grown for
commercial purposes, when they are
raised in hot houses and have the ad-
vantage of longer season to mature.
The plants grown by Mr.. Dowery
this season have had no special care
or cultivation, but. have produced an
abundant crop of fine leaves many OF
which measured II and "a inches.
Mr.. Dowery thinks that under more
favorable conditions and special care
in cultivation. such as is given III
the south to this product. this valley
would produce fine quality of to-
bacco, which would add many thou.
sands of dollars to the wealth of the
county.
