best ground, give it the best care and
expect the best results.
One hundred farmers in every county

We expect to make a specially

DIR. HOLMES TABLE-TALK.
Made Philosophical Remark One Might
Have Credited to Emerson.

AT table, says j. 7. Trowbridge, in
the Atlantic, DR.. Holmes was unfag-
gingly viyacious, ready at repartee,
as witty as Lowell without Lowell's
audaeity at punning Ghey called each
other "Wendell7 and James" talk
ing perhaps from one end Of the table
to the other); and, for the immediate
moment, as wise as Emerson. Under
wood, in his monograph on Lowell,
'The Poet and the Man." has by
some lapse Of memory m%isquoted a
passage of words that took place be-
tween Emerson and Holmes at one Of
the early Atlantic dinners. The con-
yersation was upon the orders Of
architecture; it was Emerson, not
Holmes, who had been saying that
the Egyptian was characterized by
breadth of base, the Grecian by the
adequate support, and the Gothic by
its skyward soaring. Then it was
Holmes, not Emerson, who flashed
out instantly; cone is for death, one
is for life, and one is for immortal
ity." ! did not hear this, but it was
repeated to me at the time by one
who did.

QUEER RUSSIAN HOSPITALITY.
How You "Spend an Evening in
Moscow or ST.. Petersburg.

Moscow or St. petersburg.
What brand of hospitality is the
most exactmg? An American who
has just returned from some years in
St Petersburg declares according to
the St. Paul Globe, that Russian hos
pitality demands more from its recip-
tents, in some ways, at least, than any
other. The demand would seem to
be mainly Of a liquid nature. Here
is his description Of the way you
spend the evening" in a Russian
house:
Yo uno sooner make your appear
ance than the host drags you to his
den and makes you take a drink. You
find all the other men there taking
their pick Of the bottles ranged along
the hosts private sideboard and help
ing themselves to a stiff one every
few minutes. If you are wise and
diplomatic you will dodge as many
of the anteprandial drinks as posi-
bic, with a view to your comfort later
on. But you have got to be very skill
full about this. Most Russian hosts
have a way of regarding it as a sort of
reflection upon their stocks Of liz
uors, if not, indeed, on their own
drinking habits, if their non-Russian
guests begin to fight shy. 1t doesn't
spoil their hunger as it does ours.
The more a Russian drinks the more
he wants to eat. That and the eli
mate are, l take it, the salvation Of
that nation Of heavy drinkers.
You sit down to dinner at six
o'clock and it lasts till nine. The ar
ray of courses is staggering and
there's a wineit would seem, for every
dish, let alone every course. Menand
women drink champagne like water
and the air is such that ii does them
little harm. Between every two or
three courses the cigarettes are
passed around to the women as well
as to the men and everybody smokes
and chatters. After dinner you go
to the theater, where boxes have
been engaged. That's part of"spend-
ing the evening" You may smoke
all you want to in the boxes and by
ten o'clock the drinking business be-
gins again. Your hosts cabinet Of
liquors-a portable affair designed
for theater use-has preceded him to
the box, with ice tank and siphons
complete. The women, as a rule,
take champagne, but the men choose
the liquors. Thus smoking and
drinking pretty incessantly, you
watch the performance, walking
about the boxes and chattering be-
tween acts, until after midnight,
when the show comes to an end.
: Does that end the evening? Not
at all. You return with your host
and hostess to their home, where you
find an elaborate supper served and
waiting. You do your best to do JUS
tice to it and toward two a. m. an adj
+, iournment is made to the drawing
: room for an hour or so of music. The
: Russian women play and sing mag
! nifcently, but you are expected to
keep on drinking while listening to
. them. By this time you are ready ia
d go home. But that would be discour-
teous. spending the evening" is by
no means over yet. Card tables are
: brought out and everybody plays
French games for the most part, per.
: haps a couple of Russian ones, anC
! perhaps once in awhile poker-anC

sAUCY %JACK-RABBIT.
Challenges a Railway Engineer to
His Best Speed.


An engineer on a Kansas railroad
has made a request to eallowed to
run faster than IS miles an hour be-
cause a jack rabbit had been making
fun Of him on his run. A jack rabbit
is noted for its speed, and this par
ticular jack, it seems, has been in
the habit Of coming out Of his burrow
just south Of 0lanthe, Kan, when he
hears the flyer coming early in the
morning, looking up and winkingat
the engineer, and then, throwing
back his long ears, racing alongside
the track. He seems to know that
the engineer may not run ahead Of
his schedule, so he keeps up only a
fair speed, but at hat he often gets
on the track in front Of the locomo-
tive and, putting up one foot to his
face, spreads out his toes and makes
a sign perfectly familiar to all small
boys, which is expressive Of the high
est scorn and derison. This is vouch.
ed for as a true story by a Kansas
paper.

Certain Republican newspapers
have gone greatly out OF their way
to fad some excuse for connecting
Senator William J. Stone with the
alum Doodle business. Their latest
effort in this line was a statement
they published purporting to come
from Russell Kneisley, Of Csrrollton
in which it was stated that during
the 1901 session Senator Stone went
to him and asked him to support the
. I'm bill, saying that 1t was good
one and ought to be passed. When
Senator Stones attention was called
to the published statement Of Mr..
Kneisley, he said he didn't believe
Mr.. Kneisley ever made such state
ment, as he had never discussed the
matter with him, or with any other
man, and at the time mentioned, did
not know such bill was before the
General Assembly. Mr.. Kneisley tele-
graphed Senator Stone as follows:

Louis, Mo: These purported inter
views with me with reference to you
are fakes. RUSSELL KNEIsLEY. -

AWAITING DECISION

"The people Of Missouri are anx.
iously waiting to hear a word from
Judge CAN'T regarding the report
that he will be a candidate for Gov
ernor. No man in Missouri stands
higher in the estimation of the peo-
pie, but one thing is certain, il he in
tends to mix up in a scramble for
political place he should leave the su-
preme bench. The Missouri democ.
racy has wisely separated things
judicial from those political and no
exception will be made, even in the
case Of so good a man as Judge
CAN'T. The noted iurist owes it not
only to the party that elevated him
to the place he holds but to himself
TO speak out in the premises.
The above from the Richmond
Democrat states the case in about
its true light. Judge CAN'T from
any view point would make an ac-
ceptable Democratic nominee for
Governor. AS the Democrat truly
says, no man stands higher in the
estimation OF the people. But there
is no party crisis impending calling
for the sacrifice of any man as a
savior. Judge CAN'T has twice been
elected to the highest judicial Office
in the state. He has served only a
little over two years OF his second
term Of ten years. The people pref
ty generally believe that when they
elect a man to a high Office he should
serve out his term before asking for
another offic,. 1t is certainly true
that a man holding a judicial office
should vacate it before seeking a
political one, Knowing Judge CAN'T
as we do, we do not believe that he
will consent to be candidate for
Governor before resigning the office
OF Supreme Judge. Any other ad'
vice to him would not be from his
true friends desiring his benefit.

There has not been much Rock
Island railroad talk here for several
weeks past, but it has now begun
again and some interest is being
manifested in the matter.
Some months ago a survey was
made through this city by the Rock
Island people and many Nevada citi.
sens thought the line would be built
soon, but for a time this excitement
died out and practically nothing
more was heard OF the matter until
within the last day or two.
1t is now said that a sounding
corps" is at work in Bates county
along the survey made last fall and
winter and some are OF the opinion
that the line will yet be built. This
force Of men lie supposed to be doing
the work from which specifications
are to be made for letting the con

for Malone and Mrs. Frill and Con-
stable Mooneyhon went to arrest the
couple last Wednesday.
Malone came to the door with a
Winchester and revolver and defied

Constable Mooneyhon went away,

them to this city and the constable
took his prisoners to his residence to
be brought here to-day.
At IL o'clock last night some one
called to the officer. When he went
to the door to see what was wanted
he was shot without warning. The
mob then swarmed into the house,
seized the preacher, dragged him in

dragged his body into the woods and
