TO MAKE A TOWN GROW.
A Set of Ten Rules Whose Efficacy Is
Guaranteed.

Mr.. S. "A. Fishburn, secretary Of
the Commercial club, of Dallas, Tex.
has prepared Il set of rules for making
town grow. He guarantees their
efficacy. Here they are:
/. Join no organizations looking tC
the upbuilding of your town. This
Will prove an encouragement to those
who give their time and money tc
sustain such organizations.
2. Impugn the motives of those who
join and charge them with desirelto
advertise themselves. This inspires
patriotic men to work all the harder
for the public good
3. Pour cold water on every n4w
home enterprise, predict it's early
failure, and contribute to that end
10y patronizing its rivals in ler
towns. This will encourage otliers
to put their money in home enter
prises.
4. When committee calls on YOU
for contribution to any good cause,
act like a sore-headed bear, and yield
up what you do give as begrudgingly
as possible. This lightens the bur-
dens of the committeeman and sends
them on their way rejoicing in theil
work of love.
.. When strangers visit your town
let them wander around alone and en-.
tighten themselves by reading the
signs and pumping the professional
loafer. They will carry away a de
lightful remembrance of their visit
and advertise the town wherever they
so.
Is. "Cuss out" your public officials
(to their backs, Of course) and accuse
them OF everything from petty larceny
to high treason, no matter whether
you can substantiate your charges or
not. This will prove keen incen-
tive to the complete fultllment OF
their Official obligations.
I. Whenever your town papers
differ in the slightest with your ideas
of public policy, declare that it has
been bought up and promptly cut OIL
your patronage. The editor will turn
the other cheek and redouble his
Efforts in behalf of the town and its
good people"
$. Oppose any enterprise which is
not in exact accordance with your
own ideas. This will be conductive
to that spirit Of concession and unity
which is necessary to progress.
8. Give sparingly, if atall. to move
ments for the gneral good of the town
even if you are the largest property
owner in it. This will spur on to
greater eXertions the public spirited
citizens your town now has and
induce the coming Of others.
10. Observe these rules closely and
there can be no doubt about the
growth OF your town. 1t will grow
and continue to grow--up in weeds =
until it shall ultimately become a fit
habitation alone for bats and owls.
We believe that some of our people
already understand and employ the
principles here formulated but they
are not enough to make the system
completely effective. A wider en-
ployment OF the rules will accomplish
something definite. Now is the time
to organize.

Must Pay for Folly.

At New York a sheriir's jury took
testimony Wednesday upon which to
determine how much of S75, 900 de-
manded by Eleanor l.. Anderson from
James n. Abeel he can afford to and
ought to pay her for engaging to
marry her under the name of j. Ogden
Goelet. Misses Anderson sued him
for S75, 900 for breach OF promise Of
marriage. Testimony was given to
show that Abeel had contingent in
terest in a large estate left by his
grandfather and prospective inter
est in the estate Of his father, who is
wealthy. The jury assessed the de-
PENDANT for the full amount claimed.

]. NEWTON HATHAWAY, M. D.
sInmannu
Naval omcer Kills Himself.

Lieut.. Commander Edar Townsend
#drburton, chief engineer OF the
hattleship Maine, now at Pensocala,
Fla, suicided in his cabin on board
that vessel Thursday. A bullet from
38-calibre revolver was sent crash
ing through the brain and death re-
suited within 40 minutes afterwards.
The executive officer Of the shin was
passing the door Of Commander
WarburtOn'S cabin when he was
startled by the report Of revolver
within. The bullet after passing
through the brain came through the
door and struck the rail Of the ship,
barely missing the executive officer.
The latter notified the officers and
the door Of the commanders cabin
was forced open. He was lying on
the floor in pool of blood and the
revolver, dyed red, was grasped in his
right hand. The surgeon of the ship
was hastily summond and endeavored
to stop the flow Of blood without
result. The flagship was signalled
and the fleet surgeon responded but
the commander expired shortly after
his arrival. The bullet entered Just
above the right temple and passed out
over the left ear. No cause is known
for the officer committing the rash
act. He appeared to be in the best of
health and spirits and within q few
weeks would have been assigned to
shore liberty. Many OF the officers
expressed the belief that death was
the result of an accident and that the
commander did not suicide. Com
mander Warburton had been chief
engineer of the Maine. He was for
merly on the Indiana. The body will
be shipped to Philadelphia. where his
wife reside Friday.

There are many crooked streams in
Missouri and the Usage River is one
of the crookedest. There is a farmer

miles down the Usage to the town of
Linn Creek and then six miles further
down 1T back to his home. The river
runs on two sides of i,'s farm and on
one side it is coming from Linn Creek

labor the man has to do to make the
round trip is to carry his boat across
his farm.

FALSE PRETENCES.

Nevada has witnessed some queer
political maneuvsrs, but it goes with
out saying that she has never before
seen anything like the Rump Party.
Conceived in deception and begotten
in iniQuity, it is 4 byword and a re-
proach among the honest men Of the
State.
The party it sought to destroy was
the party that had loaded its leaders
down with honors, with offices, with
emoluments. The man it would seek
to destroy is the man whom it has
with Incompatible effrontery, insulted
with an Endorsement for the senator.

It champions the rights of labor,
when it's chief sponsor is a man who
was hurled to ignominious defeat by
the voters of this state, for no other
reason than for his enmity to labor
1t is thing of corruption, of fraud,
of venality of the lowest and meanest
type. 1t is unworthy of the contempt
of good men, or even of membership
of bad ones.
AS those who touch pitch must suf'

votes the Rump ticket suffer the dan.

Such monstrous abortions have no
place in the politics Of Nevada Let
the voters bury the unclean thing sc
deep that nothing like it will ever
show its head again in our state.
