ALLUREMENTs OF BUSINESS.
Lesson Drawn from the Career of tho
Late Gustavus F. Swift.

Late Gustavus F. Swift.
Kansas City Star.
When the late Gustavus Franklin swift
was a barefoot boy in the town OF Saga
more, Mass, he vowed to his companions
that he would become a rich man-that
is, that he would amass a fortune OF SIS, 900.
That was his limit. He had little compre-
hension of any accumulation OF money
greater than this sum, and probably would
have been at a loss to know what to do
with the income of a larger fortune, II the
possibilities Of one had been held out to
him in those days.
The career Of the great packer was a
conspicuous example Of what can be ac-
complished in this country by intelligent
devotion to a particular purpose. Young
Swift determined to make money. He
was dependent on his own efforts. He
saved his pennies, and when he had made
them dollars he invested the dollars Oh
a plan that enabled him to save dollars.
But continuously he sought larger in
vestments for his larger earnings. There
was nothing "meteoric" about this ca
reer. 1t was one Of gradual and con-
sentative building. From a meat trader
with a distributing cart at Sycamore he
went to Boston and opened a butcher
shop. Then he formed a partnership and
took the position Of buyer. When he
could not buy satisfactorily in Boston he
went TO Albany. From Albany he went
to Buffalo, and so by degrees found his
way to Chicago, and finally to Kansas
City, so as to be nearer the source OF
supplies. After making a large business
in shipping live cattle, he became a packer
in order to make and distribute meal
more cheaply, and he was among the
first to utilize to advantage all OF the
parts of the animal. many OF which hat
been a total loss in the small business

The public has not yet entirely recov-
cred from the dazed condition Of mind
into which it was thrown by the start
lingly novel theory Of the coal strike COM
mission that the people have rights which
employers and employees are bound to re-
spect. The doctrine that the public has
nothing to do with labor disputes except to
pay the expenses has been too long borne
in suffering silence for the great body of
consumers to realize that recognition of
their existence has been demanded.

Turf authorities in Europe and America
are giving careful study to the need of
more rigorous measures to prevent the use
Of drugs and stimulants for increasing the
speed OF horses. There never we're in any
previous time so many wealthy, prominent
and honorable owners of race horses, but
the amazing expansion of the sport has
attracted iocks OF vultures who are trying

Germany's meat inspection law is
aimed specially at American meat ex-
ports, regardless of it's apparent general
application. The German consumer,
however, will be the one to suffer most
by It, and when they realize that exclu.
sion of American meat products compels
them TO buy higher-priced but poorer
home grown meats the reaction will
surely set In.

The necessity of taking serious matters
seriously is illustrated again by the en-
rollment on the statute books Of Ne
braska of a law providing for the COM
pulsory determination Of prairie dogs.
When the bill was before the senate
that body resolved itself into a sort of
mock court and debated the question
with all the levity such a fantastic prof.
ect deserved. When it came to a roll
call a majority of the votes were re,
corded in favor Of the bill purely out of
a spirit Of hilarity, with confident ex.
pectation that the house would promptly
consign the bill to the legislative GENE,
terry. Instead of meeting this expecta.
ton the house has given the bill its en-.
dorsement and the governor has at
tached u; official signature, so that
what was supposed to be a joke on its
author will now become a joke upon the
people. We apprehend, however, thai
the people will not appreciate the joke
when they are called upon. to pay the
bill for the prairie dog determination.

The plan to refer the beet sugar
bounty claims to the courts for adjudi-
cation is a good n for the claimants.
All the beet sugar people are now ask
ing is the face Of their original certih-
Gates, whereas if they are allowed to
sue in the courts they will have a right
to demand interest from the time the
money became due. But why should
sugar bounty claims take any different
course from other claims against the
state? If one claimant is given a rem
edy in the courts, all should have the
same rights, for there are many debts
justly owing by the state which have
been similarly passed along from one
legislature to another. The state should
not have any preferred creditors.

MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
SHOvELS DIRT
And Blisters His Hands
and Grows Confiden-
tial and Friendly.

Sheriff Frey was in one of the rail-
road camps near the Chattahoochee
river last week and Mr.. Brown told
him of an incident that occurred there
in the last few days. A white man
appeared at one of the railroad gangs
and asked for work He was given
job and for three days he shoveled dirt,
like Trojan, working beside negro
man with whom he became very friend
ly and confidential. On the morning
of the fourth day he came to work with
his good clothes on. He was asked if
he had quit. He showed his blistered
hands and said he would have to ''lay
off" day as his hands were in such
blisterS he couldn't work. He walked
up to this particular negro man and en-
gagged him in conversation, and, before
the negro knew what, he was about he
had pair of handouts on him and
told him he was his prisoner. The ne
gro was fugitive from justice in South
Carolina and there was a reward of
$500 for him. During the three days
at work, the negro had given his iden-
tity away, and the secret detective
pulled him as soon as he had the con-
fession fully made. He carried the ne
gro to South Carolina, and said he
would be back in few days as the ne
groe's companion in the crime would
turn up there soon. 1t was shrewd,
slick piece of detective work. His
blistered hands will be healed with the
ointment of the $500 reward.

new FOUNTAIN
IN CITY PARK.
Was Received with APP
propriate Ceremonies
Friday Afternoon.

The completion of the work of putting
in motion the beautiful fountain, which
has just been erected in the center of
the city park by the City Council, was
celebrated by public ceremonies on last
Friday afternoon at 80 O'Clock.
A large crowd of citizens and school
children we're present.
Baldwin's Brass Band discoursed
lively music, and the scene for the nonce
was inspiring and animating.
Mayor Joe P. Legg in an Introductory
speech, spoke of the first movement to
have the fountain, when at the March
meeting, Alderman J d. Malone intro
duced a resolution to that effect, which
was adopted, and which has been so
successfully carried out by the park
committee, Messrs. O. A. Guyton, chair
man, j. D. Malone and J. Gid Morris.
Through the generosity of the Kenne-
Eaw Marble Company, Dobbs Hardware
Co.. and others, an $500 fountain had
been erected at a cost of $485. Mr.. NJ.
M. Sessions proprietor of the water
works furnishes the water free.
Prof. S. V. Sanford made the "dedi-
catory" speech, beautiful and appro-
pirate, showing how the cultivation of
the esthetic side of humanity resulted
in ennobling mans moral nature and in
the refinement of his tastes, stimulat-
ing the love for the beautiful in nature
and art. He commended the city
council for their progressive spirit in
erecting the fountain, thereby making
our beautiful city park more beautiful.
At the close of his speech, Miss Clyde
Malone. who had been chosen by the
council as sponsor, and who had chosen
as her maids of honor Misses Regina
Rambo and Irma Neal, turned on the
water, and crystal stream shot up,
falling in silvery spray, like a bridal
veil, fit emblem of the purity and love-
illness of the fair ones who had by their
touch sent the sparkling water through
the fountain to henceforth to be
source of pleasure end admiration to
all lovers of the beautiful.

the city and deposited in :the fountain
20 goldfish and they are now dis

INSURANCE LEGISLATION.

A oil mas been introduced 10 the
legislature to require insurance com-
panies doing business in the state to
publish in two newspapers in each
county a statement Of condition
twice every year. This is an excel
lent bill-for the newspapers. Why
not extend it so as TO include all
foreign concerns doing business 10 this
state? And why not extend it to
domestic concerns?
Nothing better calculated to pro-
mote the %pecuniary interest of the
newspaper business could be devised
An editor cannot think Of these
things without visions of untold
riches, a summer home in the noun
tains, a winter cottage beside a coral
sea. Why not do this for the encour-
agement Of a struggling infant in
dustry? Why should men laugh at
with scorn or denounce with bitter
ness a measure like this? Not one
av0ra can be said against ii which mas
not be said viA equal foyee and pro-
byisty against every item of Oay fyOteet-
i0e tariff sebeanle.
The INTELLIGENCER would like to
support this bill, 1t would add
materially to the cash balance at the
end OF the year. But, alas, it can not
be done without giving assent to such
propositions as that a man a make
something out of nothing, that one
can lift himself o1er a fence by the
bootstraps, that a government car
enrich itself by taxing itself, and {
Thousand other similar fool notions
which men have long since given III
in individual practice but still
cling to as possibilities of the socia
organism.
