One of the mysterious things
about the assessment law is that
the bill, as at first prepared and
presented to the Legislature con-
tanned a clause which would have
included coal, oil and gas leases,
but That clause got lost out of the
bill when it became a law. The
Journal of the legislature does not
show how it got out, but it is not
in the law at present.

More than passing strange it is
that American products continue
to be sold in foreign parts cheaper
than at home. Even sewing ma

it and cheapness of cost of manu-

nearly 100 per cent more than the

In order to paoify the taxpayer,
the Republicans are now telling
the people what laws they pro
pose to pass at the next session of
the legislature Such promises
will hardly deceive the people
The laws which they say they will
pass at the next session are the
syme identical ones which they
claimed could not wait until the
next regular session, and for which
a special session was called. No.
body was asking for the laws
which they passed at the extra
session yet they devoted all the
time to measures that nobody
wanted. and consideration of the
good things promised is postpon-
ed until the next session.-Wayne

During eight years of Republi

state of West Virginia have doub

going on, money is being spent
with lavish hand upon all sides,
and the people are being called
upon to bear additional tax bur-
dens. The new tax laws are to
provide additional revenues for the
state, and are planned to take those
revenues from the pocket of the
farmer and property owner. Is it
not time to call a halt?

WE have.watched the result Of the
peoples party committee meeting
held at Medicine Lodge OH Saturday
with great interest, as has undoubt-
eddy every politician in the county,
and, we honestly confess, the pollti
cally wise and unprejudiced action
taken by the committee is not to the
liking of the republican managers at
all. Personally we have no regrets
to offer, because the populists and
democrats in county matters will be
united party to WORK SHOULDER
TO SHOULDER IN A COMMON CAUSE
AND PUT DOWN ELECTION FRAUDS AND
RING RULE IN BARBER COUNTY" This
Is paramount to party success. and If
the republican rank and file under
anti machine leadership cannot free
this county from the curse, injustice
and extravaganza of ring.rule, then
may the democrats, re enforced by
the populists and honest republicans
have the honor and glory of doing so.-

KANSAS never learns lesson IN poll
tics. Tell the truth about a crook, and
the whole state rushes to malign the
man who has courage to be frank and
honest. Thousands of honest men
come to the crooks defense, when he
is publicly d:sgraced, by doing before
the eyes of the law what he did be
fore the eyes of the people. Kansas is
merely sorry he was found out. If
Burton were not indicted. he would be
the strongest man politically in the
state today. though he has been shun-
ned as a scarlet woman In the senate
for two years. If he is acquitted. he
will be martyr, and his enemies will
be cast down, though every one in the
state of Kansas knows now and has
known for ten years, exactly what
kind of a man Burton is. They know
just what kind of man Tom Kelly is,
yet he will be renomInated by an over
whelming majority. The came things
that were said about Burton before he
was elected senator ARE being said about
Kelly. They SAID Burton would re
form; they are saying the same thing
of Kelly. They said that the statutes
of Limitation should run on Burton's
former misdeeds; they say the same
thing of Kelly. They say that the
plain truth, told without shadow of
feeling, the mere recital of his past
feionies, was abuse and that Cy LIE.

ENGLAND AMAZES RED MAN.

Returning Indian Tells Of Ignorance
Existing Abroad.
An Indian stopped in Philadelphia
on his way to Omaha. He had been to
London, participating in a wild west
melodrama there, and it was amusing
to hear him describe the ignorance re-
garding his race that exists abroad.
AN Englishman," he said, thinks
that red man can run from 200 to
225 miles day without effort. He
thinks an Apache can overtake deer.
In fact, read in London a short story
describing how, in fifteen-mile run,
an Apache caught deer, choked it to
death, and ate it's heart raw.
"The English believe that an Indian

by hosts of beggars in London, and
they couldn't understand why didn't
hand out a half-crown to each Of them.
They also think an Indian will endure
the severest pain without finching,
out of pride. A young English girl
stuck pin in my leg at a restaurant
one night, and was surprised when
said Ouch and swore."

campaign fund. It never has. It

past have been lin selling out to the
trusts and large manufacturing inter-

comes from the trusts, indirectly and
in the end it is extracted from the

FEATS OF WAR CORRESPOND
ENTS

One Of the finest achievements OF
a war correspondent was that of Holt
White. a representative Of the New
York Tribune. in the Franco -Prussian
War. He witnessed the battle of Sc
dan from the Prussian headquarters
on Thursday, September |. 1870. At
it's conclusion he rode to Brussels. but
there the pOstoffice authorities refused
to transmit his dispatch to London.
and ev.n threatened to arrest him
for saying that the French had been
defeated He then went on To Calais,
crossed to Dover by special steamer.
and took 4 special train to London,
where he arrived at ) o'clock on Sat
urday morning. Next day there was
a description OF the battle, six COL
umns long. in The Tribune. 1t was
not till Tuesday that the London news
papers had accounts of the conflict
from their correspondents. But the
most famous deed of physical endur-
ance In the race FOR news between war
correspondents was told Of Archibald
Forbes. In the Servian War of 1876,
Semlin, the nearest telegraph station,
was 120 miles distant from the scene
OF the battle. SO soon as Forbes knew
the result he rode off. and ali night he
kept at a gallop. changing horses
every fifteen miles. At Semlin he
had one long drink, and then at
once sat down 10 the task of writing.
hour after hour. against time. the It'd
ings of which he was bearer. After
he had written the story of the battle
and put ii on the wires, he lay down
in his clothes and slept twenty hours
without waking. He had witnessed
the battle. which lasted six hours,
ridden 120 miles. and written and dis
patched a telesraphic message four
columns in length TO the Daily News,
all in the space of thirty hours.-Mac-

stated that snakes are unusually plen-
tiful in the vicinity of Flintstone. and
that while moving a ten-acre meadow
he and Samuel Yarker killed thirty-two
copperhesds and two large rsttlers.
Mr.. Robiuette accounts for the large
number Of snakes by the fact that
since the closing OF the tannery near
Flintstone very little bark has been
peeled. and the snakes. which were
formerly killed in large numbers by
bark peelers. have not been moiested
for several years
