voting their time to fighting Wehrle
and Conrad in particular.
We were late with our issue this
week, owing to the fact that we had
about 10, 900 ballots to print for the
election.
Taxpayers, run your eye over the
amounts allowed by the county
board each quarter, and recently
you will not find Fuhr's name on
the list. This is the reason he is
sore at the commissioners. When
his name appeared on the list you
never heard a squak from him.
Fuhr harps about John Wehrle
wanting the county printing. Of
course we want it if we can get it.
He had it for ten years at legal rates
and he never thought he was charg
ing too much. He now plays "dog
in the manger." We will tell Mr..
Fuhr that we were never so poor
that we couldn't get a sack of flour
on credit, and we did not have the
county printing either. We have
tried to conduct an honorable cam
paign, by not abusing any republi-
can candidates and we were in hopes
that Fuhr would do the same, but he
had to show what was in him by his
unwarranted attacks on Wehrle in
particular.

stage Drivers of Early Days.

Speaking of stage drivers reminds one
of the glory of stages, which reached
its browning point when rival lines
ran between Sacramento and Virginia
City-six magnificent horses to each
coach, the coaches the finest possible,
the horses caparisoned with every or
nament which could be added to en-
nance their beauty.
The driver, in bearskin coat and
cap, with bearskin gauntlets, was a
sovereign in his way. No matter what
the grade was, no matter how fierce
the blizzard or how deep the snow,
he carried things through on schedule
time. He cared nothing for snowslides
or high water, and his ruling idea was
that he must make the station ahead
of the opposition line
In this work there were dozen men,
each with a personality of his own and
all with a perfect art in their hands
and their brains which made them SOW
ereigns, and the locomotive that sue
ceeded them did not very much in
crease the time which some of them
made. Each had his friends, his cham
pions; each was greatest in his sphere
among a certain crowd, but they Were
altogether great The like of them was
never before and never will be again..

Copyright, 1904, by G. B. Lewis

Gle is too lazy even to fiirt with mer'
It was Miss Hattie Graham, e. S. A.,
travelling with her father in the east
and just at that time at hotel in
Smyrna, who spoke the above words
with contempt in every infection. Six
weeks previously they had met young
Archibald Weston, son of Sir Wallace
Weston, who was also travelling, or,
rather, dawdling, over the country. He
had been friendly for an Englishman;
but, although David Graham was a
millionaire and entitled to Hon" be-
fore his name and Miss Hattie was I'M
der twenty, handsome, vivacious and
an heiress, there hadn't been the slight
est attempt even at a Irritation. Young
Weston was a goo4 looking fellow of
twentyfour and not at all a cad, but
it was too much trouble for him to f1irt
or make love. He was languid, he was
lethargic, he was a droner and
dreamer. He would reply, Jaw, yes"
and Jaw, no. and now and then don
cher knaw," but he would sooner listen
than talk and sooner sit in a deck
chair, with a pipe in his mouth, and
gaze at the moon or at the clouds than
to promenade the deck with one of the
best looking girls he had ever seen.
He said she was, but he said so to him
self and yawned after saying it.
Miss Graham was not flinging herself
at any mans head, and she wasn't dy-
ing for a Irritation, but it was new
thing in her experience to find man
bored with her presence. She could see
many good points in the Englishman,
but on the whole she had a feeling of
contempt and showed it plainly. He
on his part took no pains to conceal the
fact that he didn't care much what her
opinion was. One night while steaming
among the islands she was in the
mood to speak her mind
"AIr Weston, you are young, rich
and in good health, and you ought to
be making mark in the world for
yourself. Instead of that you are a
drone in the hive. Even to live from
day to day seems to bore you. Do
you think it possible that even an

earthquake would arouse you from
your morbid indifference for ten min
utes?"
bah Jove, Miss Graham, but 1
couldn't really say, doncher knaw," he
drawled in reply, thus making the lon
gest speech she had ever heard from
his lips.
1t happened that young Weston's
route was the same as the Grahams',
but he did not reach Smyrna with
them. He oversight at the hotel at
Bondroun and missed the steamer and
happened" to catch one three days
later. His arrival at the hotel at last
had been carelessly announced to Miss
Hattie by her father and had called
forth the remark BETTING the man and
the occasion.
mo, not much hustle to him." re-
piled the father as he looked in dis
gusted way at his Ill tasting cigar.
.'Hustle!" exclaimed the girl. 'sWhy,
I'll wager that if he stays in Smyrna
for week he won't move a hundred
feet from the hotel / wish could
bride a boy to explode a cannon fire
cracker under his chair"
Had she wagered she would have
lost. Three days later, when father
and daughter drove out to the foot
hills of the mountain range to the east
to see the tomb of Xerxes or somebody
else of equal renown, they were fol-
lowed in a second carriage by young
Weston. True, the scenery had no in
terest for him, and the flies permitted
him to dose most of the way, but
he actually got out of the carriage
when the tomb was reached and put
up his eyeglass to study the epitaph.
He did more. He got lunch basket
and bottle of champagne from his
carriage and with great effort forced
himself to say:
Now then. doncher knaw, luncheon
goes with this"
So did something else something not
put up at the hotel and brought along.

The kaiser In the German States.

The Kaiser In the German States.
Outside Prussia, his own kingdom,
the kaiser is. strictly speaking, for
eigner Should he vislz Hamburg he is
a foreign guest of the rYrgomaster,
who rules Hamburg as a monarch and
is reckoned with the soyereigns of the
German states. Similarly whenever
the kaiser visits the courts Of his al
lied sovereigns of Bavaria, Wurttem-
berg, Saxony and so on he is a guest,
not proprietor His relations with
these kings are only those Of a chair
man toward his fellow directors.
The kaiser only has free entree to the
other states in his capacity of COM
mander Of the army, and he is able to
travel anywhere as a general, but not
in Bavaria. where he holds no such
command. Bavaria is therefore to all
intents and purposes foreign soil to the
emperor, though 1t il included Ia the
German empire.

Improved farm machinery begets a
new class of risks to life and limb We
note this season men being chewed up
by moving machine, chopped up by
disk harrows, stabbed by falling hay
fork, blown up by exploding traction
engines, losing arms and hands by the
corn shredders. Successful farming is
today SO much a matter of knowing
how to operate and care for coInplicat-
ed machinery that every young man
who intends to make agriculture his
business should have q course Of train
ing along this line.

Of a certain community that it should
rain on certain afternoon, and all
would be ready for it, but at the last
minute it was found that Farmer b.
had two tons of hay out. Mrs c. was
to have an outdoor tea party, and
Neighbor Jones had not got his turnips
and buckwheat sowed, while Miss L. s.
Sunday school class had planned for
picnic, and they gave UP the job of
regulating the rainfall for their com
munity in disgust.

ON a run down and wornout farm In
any Of the eastern or central states he
should look up the alfalfa proposition.
If he can grow alfalfa, the way of his
redemption is clear. We certainly
would not give the old farm away I'M
til we had seen what alfalfa could do
for it. Near Rochester, N. Y, is farm
which has been thus redeemed by cows
and alfalfa and raised in value from
$50 per acre to over 500.

the corn costs Is cents bushel to pro-
duce, for 80 bushels 1t is Is cents, for
40 bushels IS cents. for 80 bushels %
cents and for 80 bushels 80 cents.
These figures are not very far out of
the way, and it is thus easy to know
when you are selling corn below the
cost of production.

THE city probably can not lay
down hard and fast rule against
the vacation of any of the streets
and alleys of the city, for conditions
may arise that would make certain
vacations not only desirable, but
necessary. However, we believe
that the greatest care should be ex-
ercised, and a vacation made only
when it is to the evident benefit of
the city. 1t is plain to be seen that
a modern and substantial brick
building on the lot between Grand
and High streets would be won
derful improvement to the city,
identifying a corner that is now
one of the blots on The appearance
of the town, and if the vacation of
the strip asked from High street
would guarantee such building, it
would doubtless meet with general
approval. But some return should
be made to the municipality for
this valuable strip of Main steet
frontage, either in the way of cash
payment or by other concession. 1t
has been suggested that the CITY
might demand as a return that the
parties in whose interest the vaca-
ton is asked, be required to widen
High street to the full sixty feet
left after the vacation by removing
the rock embankment on the east
side of the street, the street never
having been graded out full width
If the vacation of the strips made
it is essential that there should be
no distractions in the balance O
the street.
