Winter and Summer.

Prof. Doten showed both summer
and winter scenes of unsurpassed
beauty at the school house hall last
Saturday night. The winter scenes,
with the ground covered with snow,
reminded us of all the beauties of
winter just passing. While the sum-
mer scenes, like a fairy's magic wand,
made the earth green again, and one
could seemingly hear the rustling of
the leaves and their music made the
lecture all the more delightful for
nature lovers.
Many who attended the lecture and
had never before realized the beauty
in nature undoubtedly have changed
their minds and profited by the in
struction so ably given.
1t gives me much pleasure to write
an account of a lecture by one of our
most distinguished lovers of nature,
Prof Doten. His lecture was more
enjoyable to me than a good book,
as it was illustrated by pictures of the
beautiful scenery of our native noun
tains. He fully explained the beauty
in common things. Prof Doten pos
sesses the power of putting his words
into such plain, brief language that
even the smallest child can understand
him. This made his lecture truly
beneficial to all who wished to learn
and who wish to cultivate a love for
things beautiful.
believe that the people in general
should make special effort to attend
such lectures as these for the pleasure
and tearing that can be derived from
them, and we sincerely hope that we
shall have the pleasure of hearing Prof
Doten again in the near future.

Mark Twain the Second.

Friends Of Louie George, Gardner
vile blacksmith, say that he made a
great mistake in life by not pursuing a
journalistic career or casting anchor
on the vaudeville stage. There are
story tellers and there are also story
tellers, and MIR. George is what you
would call astory teller. Every time
you happen to meet Louie he has
something new TO relate. Louie never
leaves out a single detail and is the
happy possessor of a fluent flow of
language, and can reach up in the top
shelf of his unlimited vocabulary at
Hany time and produce therefrom words
containing from one to fourteen syla-
bles and hurl them at his attentive
listeners with the prolific dexterity of a
black faced comedian. He's sumner,
by George! Louie always has about
fifteen admirers seated around him of
evenings and when he completes a
side-splitting story, and after the laugh
dies down, someone tries to get in a
word edgeways, as it were, but Louie's
sweet poetical voice is again heard to
in errupt his discouraged colleague,
who, by request of the humorist's ad-
mirers, goes way back and sits down.
His anecdotal capacity is inexhaustible
and the conversation never lags for a
moment when Mr.. George has the floor.
Louie had, up to few days ago, sue
eeeded in gaining the confidence of all
his acquaintance and what he said
was considered the Jaw. But, as some
writer says, pride goeth before de-
struction and naughty spirit before q
fall so it was with Louie's pride and
naughty spirit. He related story,
which is too incredulous to appear in
print, and Louie's downfall immedi-
ately followed Now when he at
tempts to tell story his ex-admirers
shake their heads in misguided conf
dence and hastily absent themselves,
leaving Louie in tranquil isolation
talking to himself and murmuring
something about 4" seventy five

Masks are of very ancient origin. In
tomb 5000 years old at Mycene. DR..
Schliemann found two bodies with
faces covered by masks of gold. One
Of the MASKS represented the head of
a lion. Among ancient Greeks the lion
mask was sign of distinction. With
the Peruvians of old it was a mark of
royal lineage. In a grave of considera-

Pumps For Irrigation.

The COURIER has from time to time
stated that the arid lands Of this Sec
ton could be irrigated with pumps, as
there is an unlimited water supply a
few feet below the surface.
Senator Pitt, who is practical bust
ness man and farmer of experience,
confirms this theory. A few days ago
in speaking of this subject to the editor
of the Carson Appeal, he said:
"There is no reason why this valley
cannot be irrigated with pumps. At
my home ranch near Lovelock l am
pumping all the water that is needed
for the stock in the dry season and
winter months. Iuse gasoline engine
and it will pump in few hours all the
water that is needed. Out my way the
water supply is limited and one has to
go to considerable depth to get enough
to pump from. Had | supply such as
there is in this valley, it would be pos
sible TO food many acres of ground. 1t
can be done and should. be done. Some
man with long head will come into
this valley some day and make you
people ashamed when he begins to
irrigate with pumps.
''Take the average farmer and he
viii spend. small fortune on law suits
to establish water rights. If his water
right cost so much why isn't it good
business proposition to put up money
to take the water from the earth where
there is no dispute, and at less expense
than half Of the water rights farmers
go to. With the shallow wells that
can be procured in this valley and
cheap electric power to pump with,
there is no reason why. it cannot be
made to pay.
II believe that it is good PROPOSE
ton and am surprised that it is not
given more thorough try-out. Ifwa-
ter can be found in fifteen feet, there is
no reason why food pump would not
irrigate many acres. | know what it
costs to pump with gasoline and if
electricity can be secured any cheaper,
then that is the power to use. 1t is
even better than the gasoline engine,
as there are no bucks and no oil to
feed. irrigation is only wanted few
months and the small outlay of INSTALL
ing an electric pumping plant would
be good investment for the money.
would like to see the plan tried, as !
believe that it will pay the first man
who goes into it in the right way"
Mr.. Pitts suggestion should be CIV
en- black sand try out here. The
water is within easy reach, the land
cheap and the electric power people
ready to do business. All that is want
ed is enterprise and some one should
come forward with that. One farm
operated on this plan would start
others and in a short period what is
now useless should be making a living
for some citizen.

JOHNSON HAS MARK
BADLY FRIGHTENED
Senator Hurries Home From
Newport to Plunge Into
Ohio Political FIGHT.

Cleveland, Aug. 1.-Senator Hanna
returned from Newport unexpectedly
Friday, partly because of business, but
more largely because of political neces-
stiles. The activity being displayed by
Mayor Tom Johnson has not been alto
gether unnoticed during the senator's
entree into the 400
The political activity Of the Demo-
cratic managers is creating consider
able alarm among the Republican lead
ers, and a conference will be held here
soon after the return of General Dick,
who Is now In Washington.
At Columbus attention is already be-
ing given to the campaign preliminar-
les. The state headquarters have been
informally opened and the prepara-
tion of campaign literature is progress

1t is admitted that the Republican
managers will make an unusually
strong campaign upon the stump this
year Speakers of note will be brought
into Ohio. and it is understood that
the senator found time while in the
east To do little missionary work.
Hanna and Herrick, who also re-
turned from an eastern trip Thursday

Shooting of Conductor on
MassiIIon Car is Re.
called by Court Action.
Plaintiffs Want Amount of
$1,000 Bond Given by
Smiths Relatives.

A suit to recover 81 900 damages has
grown out of the killing of Conductor
James b. Shelter by Melvin r. Smith,
which occurred upon a Massillon car
in the city of Canton September 26
last Smith had been pronounced in
sane and committed to the Massilon
hospital. His father, desiring to have
him released. entered into a bond In
the sum Of $1,000 to indemnify any ono
against any damage the young man
should do. This bond was signed by
Reuben b. Smith the father, and Bry.
son w. Smith an uncle.
Charles l.. Booth an administrator,
has brought suit to recover the amount
of the bond to compensate the wife
and children of the dead man. Judg-
ment is demanded in the full amoura
of the bond. The petition sets forth
that Oh April 10, 1902, Melvin r. Smith
was committed to the asylum. Reuben
B. Smith asked for his release and
gave bond in the sum of $1,000 in
which they bound themselves to pay
all damages to any person who might
be injured by said Smith while al
large. After his discharge, on Sep
tember 26. he shot and killed Shelter,
leaving a wife and four children. At
torneys Dan w. Shelter and Welty q
Albaugh. the former relative, are
counsel for the administrator.
The killing of Conductor James d.
Shelter created quite sensation at
the time the deed was committed.
Smith who was young man and not
even acquainted with his victim after
a night of debauch in Canton, boarded
a car for Massillon. After entering
the car he raised a window part way
up. and Conductor Shelter told hin.
he would either have to put the window
clear up or lower it, as there was
danger of it falling and breaking the
glass. Smith said the window suited
him, and as Shelter leaned over hirA
to make the window secure, Smitl,
pulled a revolver and shot him
through the abdomen, infiicting a
wound that resulted in death.
The murderer was captured after a
fierce struggle and placed in jail. His
friends, in order to save him from the
electric chair or life Imprisonment, in
sisted that he was suffering from ep-
ilepsy and was insane. There was a
long and exciting trial as to his san
ity in the probate court, and as re-
suit the young man was declared in.
sane and sent back to the asylum.
The filing of the suit revives inter-
est in the case. 1t is said that if thS
father is compelled to pay the amount
of the bond it will take the home in
which he lives. At the time of the
tragedy great deal of sympathy was
expressed for the mother of the boy
who did the killing.
