silss PoRs Visit.

Silas Pof, of Lamar, No, left for his
home Sunday night after a visit with
friends and relatives in this county.
Mrs. Chase Warner, and Mrs. Oscar
Edwards, who, by the way, is a bride
of less than q week, are daughters Of
Mr.. PofF. Silas Pof formerly lived on a
claim Eve miles southeast of GOodIand
and he is well known to all the early set
tiers of Sherman county. He came here
from Endicott, Neb., in 1887, and re-
moved to Missouri in the fall of 1896.
By personal experience he knows much
of the history of this county, for he
was here when the H U. A was in the
full extent Of its power, and, If the
writer is not mistaken Mr.. Pof was
once candidate for sheriff. But, be that
as It may, he was one of our good citi-
zens, and his many friends were glad to
take him by the hand and talk of his
present fortunes and to recount old
times. Mr.. Pof has followed his trade,
that of a blacksmith, almost exclusively
in Lamar, has a good home and is do
ing well.

At Fillmore, q hamlet near BelIefonte,
Pa, Oscar Dunlap, q farmer, while walk
ing over his farm accidentally stumbled
over large land turtle. On examining
it he found on its shell artistieally
carved the names Of Gale II. Kepheart
and Ellis II. Williams, with the date Of
1850. The lettering was almost as plain
as the day It was put on, more than half
a century ago, when the now old gentle
men were young men together. All these
years the turtle has presumably been
slowly crawling around in that vicinity
Mr.. Kepheart, although almost eighty
years Of age, is still well and hearty and
is able 20 do a fair days work on his
large farm, which Is one Of the best in
the county. The finding Of the turtle
has brought to his mind many interest
ing historical events. Elias II. VIII
Jams, whose name also appears on the
hard shell Of the turtle, left Centre
county years ago and is now one Of the
oldest conductors on q Pullman palace
car train running between Chicago and
Denver

The natural and reasonable inference
as to the Philippine policy is that this
country should apply the same rule
there as in Cuba, the demand being
even more urgent for this policy in the
Philippines because Of their extreme re-
moteness from US. England has Prac-
tically given independence both to the
Australian states, including New Ze-
land, and Canada, and is made much
stronger thereby. For our own sakes
we cannot afford to do otherwise. It is
estimated that the experiment" has
already cost $50, 900, 900 and the lives
of zoo, 900 human beings. They are a
white elephant on our hands, to say
nothing of the danger of breaking down
of constitutional barriers so much fear
ed by many of our wisest and best
statesmen.

Is there any direct or remote relation
between the unconstitutional methods
and militaryism employed by Governor
Peabody in Colorado and the Philippine
policy of the republican national ad-
ministration3 There are many who
take the very serious view that there is
an intimate relation such as exists be-
tween cause and effect. The Great
Lincoln said: when a man governs
himself, that is selfgOvernment; but
when he attempts to both govern him
self and some other man, that is des-
potism. This is both the Philippine
and Colorado situation in breif. Senator
Hill in a recent speech declared that if
a democratic administration were placed
in power in the nation, his party would
see to it that a law was placed upon
the federal statute book forbidding So
called government by injunction" and
require trial by jury in cases Of con-
structive contempt of federal courts

There is general complaint of the
difficulty in forecasting the result Of
elections this fall, especially so in local
politics. It is a wholesome sign, how
ever, and marks the decadence of in
tense Partisanship. The number Of in
dependent voters seems to be on the
increase. They have, evidently, reach
ed the CONCLUSION that there is time in
"the course Of human events" when it
is perfectly proper to scratch.

Somebody has already been paying
back several thousand dollars into the

the investigation of the books began.
In one case c. R. Richie, late assistant
treasurer under Kelly, assumed the
responsibility for the shortage and paid

took cent of the money. When this
shortage occurred Kelley was assistant

Examiner Rowett made a trip to New
York to find out at the fiscal agency
who cashed the Garden City coupons
covering this amount. He found out
andinfOrmed the governor, but pending
the proceedings by the attorney general
the governor declines to give out
the information. The Journal says that
Kelly cashed the coupons, without any
doubt, but until the fact is made public
judgement is suspended. Later reports
in the Wednesdays Topeka Capital
