Congress should enact law along these lines dictated

lands of the ignorant ones aenated especially They
have no chance to cheat the well informed people and
they will never be satisfied with legislation that does not

So far as the fullbloods concerned Mr. Shoenfet
is right but the theory Of incompetence should not be

An ExpenslYe Ride.

About 100 p. m. Monday the delivery
horse OF ID. B. & W. B. Stauffer was
standing in front of their grocey store
10 West Reynoldsyille and the driver
was in the store for some goods when a
man named Flannery, who had been i'm
bibing from the cup that intoxicates,
came along, jumped into the sled and
drove off towards Sandy Valley as fast
as the spirited gray mare could go. A
telephone message was sent to Sandy
Valley and two or three men of that
place headed the fellow off and brought
the rig and man back to Reyneldsville.
The sweat was dropping off the horse
when they got back. F'lannery was
taken before Squire j. d. Woodring
and had to pay $1,000 for his fast, but
short ride. He may thank his stars
that he got of even that easy, as he had
committed penitentiary offense. Elan
merry wanted to go to Pardus mines and
had borrowed the horse and sled, with
out the owners consent, TO make the
trip.

Fourth street to Main street and onto

ran up the sidewalk at frightful speed
dragging the sleigh upside down after
it. In trent OF n. w. Eason & Co. s
store the horse slipped on the smooth
cement walk and fell down. The sleigh
was somewhat disfpurcd when the
horse was caught. Had the runaway
occurred fifteen or twenty minutes
later, when little school children would
have been crowding the sidewalk on
their way home from school, something
serious would certainly have happened.
