POOR 10 BECOMES RICH.

The little tribe of Quapaw Indians
is destined to be the richest in the
world. About two years ago an adopt
ed member of the tribe was digging
a we'll in the Quapaw nation about
four miles south of Baxter Springs,
Kan. when he struck what proved to
be a rich body of Jack" or zinc ore.
This was quickly developed and over
this well now stands a large concen-
trating plant producing weekly 120,-
900 pounds of zinc and 1000 pounds
of pure lead.
Many thousand acres of the ad-
joining lands have been leased from
the Indians by white men. over 200
drill holes have been sunk, and in
nearly every instance lead and zinc
have been found in paying quantities.
The field is not only large one, but
is richer than anything in the famous
Joplin district of southwestern Mis-
souri, and southeastern Kansas.-From
The Quapaws," by C. w. Daniels,

GOD GIVE Us MEN.

God give us men! time like this
demands
Strong minds, stout hearts. true faith
and ready hands
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill:
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy:
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor, men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before dema-
gogue
And damn his trcachcrous flattcries :
without winking;
Tall men. sun-crowned. who live
above the fog
In public labors and in private think
ing
For while the rabble with their
thumb-worn creeds.
Their large professions and their lit
tie deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife. 10! Freedom
weeps.
Wrong rules the land and waiting JUS

in the show windows of Brown & Hooff
the last of this week. 1t is Long lane

merchant, has the Tom Taggarts" so
large in his garden that several of them
have broken out the enclosure and are

1t is somewhat both of regret and sur
prise that we find the Shepherdstown
Register throwing cold water upon the
proposition to erect bridge over the
Shenandoah river in this county. The
Register. of course. solicits the patronage
of the people of the entire county-east
as we'll as west. south as we'll as north
and surely it would not say that the peo-
pie of the entire length of the county
along both sides of the Shenandoah river.
from Harpers Ferry to the Clarke line,
should not have at least one bridge over
which to have safe and convenient inter-
course with other parts of the county,
We have heard of no other opposition to
this movement from any quarter. and we
take it that the Register VIII show itself
too much interested in the public veal to
tilt any more of the fr;gid fluid upon an
enterprise which must enure directly to
the benefit of a. large section of our coun-
ty. in which il has doubtless many pa
irons, and indirectly to all.
