Strange COinCidenf.

There was a strange coincident
with the death of Mr.. John
Wheatley, which occurred at the
home of a relative near Manton
in the western part of this coun-
ty last Friday. Mr.. Wheatley
was one of the oldest citizens of
that neighborhood, being 81 years
old at the time of his death. His
wife, who was also a very old
person had been on visit to the
home of daughter in Mead coun-
ty and was known as being in
good health for one of her age.
When the death of her aged hus-
band occurred the news was tele-
phoned to Mead county to be bro
ken to his wife when it was learn
ed that Mrs. Wheatley had died
at almost the same hour as her
husband passed away. Neither
had heard of the illness of the
other and the occurrence is re-
garded as a remarkable one

The Governors Wife.

1.-TWO men in Buffalo," says
eX-Lieut. Gov. Woodruff, re
Gently had a heated a argument
over the question whether the
wife of a Governor of a State had
an official title. One man con-
tended that she should be ad-
dressed as Mrs. Gov. So-and So, ,
while the other man stoutly in
sisted that she was simply Mrs.
Blank, wife of Gov. Blank FL
nally they agreed to submit the
question to the first man they
should meet. He proved to be an
Irishman. The case was put be-
fore him, and he was asked for a
decision.
'Nayther Of yez is right, said
the Irishman, after a moments
reflection. The wife of a gov
ernor is a governess.

HOrribld Tragedy.

Bound and gagged, the maiden
was thrust in a gunny sack and
unable to move or scream felt
herself carried up a flight of stairs
from the dungeon, and then put
in a buggy and then driven down
the street at a rapid rate. Inef-
fectually she struggled to release
herself from the gag. Alas! she
was bound too securely. Finally
the conveyance stopped, She was
again carried into a building, and
fainting, gasping for breath the
sack was taken from her head.
The villain still masked, took the
gag from her mouth, his eyes
cleaning like Goals of fire through
his black mask, released her, and
Kissed through his tightly clench-
ed teeth. There, my pretty
bird; scream and yell as long as
you like. no human ears can ever
reach you. You are in my pow
err. Do you hear me? Totally
within my power. Where am
I?' she gasped. I'm store that
never advertises, was the cruel
response. Alas! Alas!" she
moaned, mo power on earth can
save; no one will look for me
here. ?" And the poor girl was

Shock For The LAWYER.

A well-known lawyer of this
city, whose Office is located close
to the City Hall, received ire
mendons shock the other day.
He was counsel for a man charg-
ed with larceny, and, as the evil
dence was conclusive, he advised
his client to plead guilty.
You know that you have a
bad record and you have practi-
cally confessed your guilt" said
the lawyer in a soothing manner,
land you will be sentenced to
about three years in jail
This last sentence completely
dum-founded the prisoner, but
after he had looked about his cell
for several minutes he turned to
his attorney, and in a very SER
iouS manner said: will you
kindly go out and get me a good
lawyer"
AS soon as the lawyer recover
ed from the shock he told the
prisoner he would argue the case
for him. Philadelphia Press.

of the bearing of their action.
Many of them are of the purest
minds and most honest inten-
tons, and are quite incapable of
participating voluntarily in a con-
spiracy to wrong any one.
In the height of it's prosperi-
ty the Louisiana Lottery only
took from the people a paltry ten
or twenty million dollars a year,
while to-day there are single
groups of banks, trust companies,
corporations and trusts which
take from the people by might,
by trick and by theft, hundreds
of millions each year, and there
are scores of such groups. The
Sugar Combine has been the in
strument of gathering, in one
year, a hundred millions of the
peoples savings, and the Steel
Combine alone has robbed the
people of over $500, 100000 in a
single IL months.
1t is only a matter of simple
mathematics to ascertain the day,
and that only a few years away,
when 10 men will be absolutely
and completely the legal owners

Will own the Country.

Thos. w. Lawson, of Boston,
issues another broadside against
the Standard Oil group of mil
lionaires, termed by him 1.-The
system, in his latest installment
of "Frenzied Finance, in Ev-
body's Magazine for February,
out tomorrow.
In this installmeRt Mr.. Lawson
begins 'The Story of Amalga-
mated" He starts the story"
with a description of the fnan-
cial system of the country and
the manner in which the sys-
tem," is gradually getting legal
control Of the entire country.
He shows that 1.-The system" is
gaining it's astounding power and
robbing the people of their mil
lions by using the peoples depos-
its in banks, insurance companies
and other institutions against
themselves.
"You may ask if | desire to
convey the idea that the great fl
nancial institutions and trusts of
this country, which have their
head center in Wall street, are
all concerned in a conspiracy to
rob the people of their savings,
he writes. "You think, doubt
less, that so sweeping a state
ment goes beyond the truth. I
desire to go on record right here
in declaring that all such fnan-
cial institutions which in any way
are engaged in taking from the
people the money that is their
surplus earnings on their capital,
for the ostensible purpose of safe
guarding it, or putting it in use
for them, or exchanging it for
stocks, bonds, policies or other
paper evidences of worth, are a
part of the machine for the plum
dering of the people.
This is a terrible charge, / am
well aware, but it is based upon
thorough full appreciation of it's
gravity. ! do not mean to say

troll the different institutions

will and Character Can Be Bcquired.

Talent is ability to live sire
nously, to study, to read, to think,
to apply yourself with enersy.'
That is the definition oy. talent
given by Elenora Duse, the gift
ed and famous actress, and we
have never seen better one.
Brains that are without ener-
gy to back them achieve little or
nothing for their possessor. We
cannot all have talent, of course.
No amount of striving will gain
the divine spark for anyone who
has been born without it. But
there is this truth to comfort and
brace the young man who has
been denied uncommon mental
endowment. Moderate ability
reinforced by industry will ac-
complish far more than exception
al ability handicapped by in
dolence.
The will responds to exercise
, as readily as do the muscles.
Everybody knows that who has
conquered a bad habit or set out
resolutely to acquire good habits
and make himself his own mas
ter.
Talent cannot be acquired, but
character can.
Fame" says Madam Duse,
Is something to be held only by
sheer effort, by untiring work"
That, too, is the price of any
success that is worth while.
Fame is beyond the reach of all
save the fortunate few to whom
nature has been generous, but
the many prizes that reward
work are open to all who have
average intelligence and the will
to do their very best.
Labor. steady labor, is the in
eXorable condition of honest sue
cess-not the effort that wastes
itself in feverish and fussy striv-
ing but the earnest, sensible ap-
plication of such powers as one
is blessed with to the work in
hand, whatever that work may
be.
The same law exists for the
man of talent as for the man who
digs in the street-laziness means
failure, and industry success.

A Beautiful Sentiment.

At one time during his later
years Victor Hugo exclaimed,
with the enthusiasm of a great
soul:
Il feel in myself the future
life. l am like forest once cut
down, the new shoots are strong
er and livelier than ever. | am
rising, know, toward the sky.
The sunshine is on my head.
The earth gives me it's generous
sap, but heaven lights me with
the reflection of unknown worlds.
You say the soul is nothing but
the resultant of the bodily pow
ers. Why, then, is my soul more
luminous when my bodily powers
bring to fail? Winter is on my
head, but eternal soring is in my
heart. | breathe at this hour the
fragrance Of the lilacs, the violets
and the roses, as at twenty years.
The nearer | approach the end
the palmer [ hear around me the
immortal symphonies of the
worlds which invite me. It is
marvellous yet simple. 1t is a
fairy tale, and it is history. For
half a century l have been writ
ing my thoughts in peace and in
verse, history, philosophy, drama
romance, tradition, satire, and
and song, l have tried all. But
l feel | have not said the thous-
andth part of what is in me.
When l go down to the grave
can say, like many others, 4
have finished my days work. "
But / cannot say I have finished
my life" My days work will
begin again the next morning.
kThe tomb is not a blind alley; it
is a thoroughfare. 1t closes on
the twilight, it opens with the
dawn"

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns of his paper, The Commoner,
that the principal cause of the demo-
cratic defeat this year was that the
men who secured control of the party
organization at St. Louis sounded re-
treat when a charge should have been
ordered all along the line. He insists
that conditions demand radical action,
and that the people want something
definite upon which they can rely. The
COmmOner, he announces, will carry on
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
mOnopolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership Of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election of
federal judges by the people, the cleo
ton of the United States Senators by
popular vote, direct legislation, and the
selection of pOstmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain contro
of the party organization. To do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope Of
fers the best means for carrying on
this work, and the Commoner occupies
this field. The campaign of education
and organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces will be carried on through The
Commoner; will not only be interesting
and instructive, but every democrat
and independent thinker should receive
The Commoner regularly so as to keep
in touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to con-
vince his republican neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest re-
lief from class legislation and trust
domination
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted us on his paper enables us to
send you The Commoner and Adair
County News both one year for SLIGO.
Get your neighbor to join you in circu-
lating democratic literature, and the
election returns in 1908 will not call for
apologies or explanations. If

Wars BfOOdeSt Conflict.

Gen. Oku's Headquarters, Jan.
27, Noon, via Tien Tsin, Feb. /
After three months inaction
there is now a prospect that the
armies of Gen. Kuropatkin and
Field Marshal Oyama will soon
join in what will likely prove the
greatest battle of the war. For
some days past the Russians have
been quietly massing troops on
Gen. Oku's left, evidently pre-
paratory to an attempt at a turn
ing movement.
For three days past a heavy ar
tiliery fire has been kept up by
the Russians on Gen. Oku's left,
running to-day toward the center.
The japanese have not replied to
the cannonade, awaiting an at
tack by the Russians, who have
been heavily REINFORCED. 1t is
believed now that they have nu-
merous divisions along the Shak-
he river.
The japanese force has also
been increased and everything
now seems ready for the greatest
battle yet recorded in the history
of the present war.
The move upon the part of the
Russians seems to indicate a de-
sire to strike soon, in a desperate
attempt to avenge the fall of Port
Arthur. Probably the revolu-
tionary outbreak in Russia has
determined Gen. Kuropatkin to
make a desperate effort to gain a
victory before the outbreak in
Russia becomes known to the ar
my.
The utter failure of the recent
cavalry raid by the Russians on
the railroads shows the futility
of further attempts of the kind.
When the ground so solidly fro
zen, troops on the advance would
have great difficulty in intrench-
ing to secure the slightest cover.
The advantage of the sun would
be entirely on the side of the ar
my on the defensive.
With the thermometer at zero
and the ground covered with
snow, a battle when fought would
be over a great plain, where the
south sun can be of no advantage
to either side.
