An old lawyer agreed to teach {
certain young man the science Of law
and it was agreed that the young mar
should pay 500 pieces of silver for the
instruction as soon as he had won hi
first case. When the term of in
struction was ended the young man
refused to practice law and also re-
fused to pay, whereupon the ole
lawyer sued him for the money.
After the case had been stated in the
court the old lawyer said MAY il
please your honor, if you decide
against me, the young man will have
to pay me according to the terms o1
the contract-he will have won the
case. If you decide for me he will

KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME !:

This is free country and mar

The home merchant buys your
wheat, your corn, your potatoes
your beef. He pays you for building
his house, for improving the streets.
He helps to pay the taxes.
ALI things being equal, then why
not spend your money with the mer
chant, your neighbor? Why give {
foreigner the money which should b'
kept at home In circulation? Kill
your home town and kill yourself.
The men who sells you things on
of catalogue may be selling yor
goods cheaper than you can get then
at home, but the chances are that hi
is not. People are not in the habi
of travelling over the country for th'
benefit of their health.
You know when you come to towl

or merchant, if it is not alright h'
will make it alright.
Suppose it comes to you from

TEST OF. ENDURANCE
Political crisis Ia Es,rsa~y Shows No
Sign OF Ziesding.

Vienna, March 1.-The isst tea
days which have been filled with err
deavors on the part of Emperor Fran
els Joseph and the Hungarian political
leaders to effect a solution of the po-
litical crisis in Hungary, especially the
formation of a neutral cabinet to rem
der possible legislation and routine
business, have brought no result and
no Improvement what ever. Today
the situation is more uncertain than
ever.
The extreme element of the indie
pendence party insists upon conces-
sions from the throne on military
questions, Particularly the use of Hun
garian words of command in the Hun
garian army. Francis Kossuth, leader
of the united opposition, has coun-
seled moderation and even a post
ponement of the extreme demands.
To these the emperor gives no direct
sign of conceding. His continued 81
lence is drawing all Hungarian eyes
more or less anxiously towards Vienna.
He evidently is waiting to see what
the Hungarians will DO and vice versa.
Each side seems to be trying to ex-
haust the others patience. The Hun
garian diet reassembles March s, and
the combined opposition does not con-
ceal its determination to maintain its
present strong position.

This property has been in litigation

name. The Nevil1es wanted the tract
sold in one entire piece, or as a VIII ole,

should be cut W and sold in lots.
Judge Hook went about half way in
his decision, and ordered the tract
surveyed. cut up in ten acre lots. and
offered for SALE and if unsuccessful in
that way, to sell the entire tract at one
time. The decree provides, however
that the tract shall not be sold for less
than $4,000. George f. Sharitt clerk

Discussion of Kaw River I'M
provement i'm Congress.
Detailed Report of Debate ON
the Question.
WHY PLAN WAS LOST,
Congressman Burton Said Prec-
edent Would Be Bad.
House Turned a Deaf Ear to
Kansas Entreaties.

Washington, Feb. 27.-When the river
and harbor bill was being considered in
the house Of representatives, efforts
were made by Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Bow
ersock, and by Mr.. Cowherd of Kansas
city to secure aid to Kansas river i'm
provement The amendment was IN
successful.
Representative Burton of Ohio, chair
man of the committee on rivers and
harbors, managed his bill most adroit-
~. He would not permit a single
amendment not authorized or accepted
by him. and the committee to go
through He had the house with him
and defeated all attempts to amend the
bill
The debate on Mr. Curtis proposed
amendment as it appears in the Con-
gressIonal Record is interesting. It
follows:
Improving Missouri River: General
improvement by snagging and main
tenance of open channel work, $780, 00
Of which amount 800, 900 may be ex-
pended between the mouth and Sioux
City, Iowa: $4,000 Tor improvements at
Hermann, Mo, and $4,000 above Sioux
City. Iowa.
Mr.. Curtis-I offer an amendment
to come in lines % and % on page "a.
The Chairman-The gentleman from
Kansas offers an amendment, which the
clerk will report.
The clerk read as follows:
On page "a, in lines p and %, strike
out the words "one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and insert in lieu
thereof the following words;
1.-TWO hundred thousand dollars Of
which amount $50, 0G0 shall be expended
to complete the work of riprapping and
improving the bank Of said river at or
near the city of st. Joseph, on the Kan
SaS side
Mr. Curtis-Mr. Chairman, 1 want to
state that this amendment simply in
creases the appropriation 1000.
The government has already expend-
ed a good many thousand dollars in i'm
proving the Missouri river at St. Joseph
and that neighborhood; but during the
last few years they have refused to ex-
pend any further money at that point
The vast amount of work done there is
now in danger of being destroyed, be
cause the water is working in around
the riprapping, and we are reliably in
formed by the engineers that $50, 900 ex-
pended there now viii complete that
work and protect the property in and
about St Joseph.
I ask for this Improvement on the
Kansas side because the work is COM
pIeted on the Missouri side, and if this
work is not done on the Kansas side,
about miles of Kansas territory is
liable to be added to the state of Mis-
souri,. Naturally we prefer to keep all
Kansas property on our side I hope
the house will agree to this amendment
Mr.. Burton-Mr. Chairman I do not
think anything more than brief dis
cussion on this point is necessary. In
the last two or three bills we have dis
cussed at great length these PROPOSE
tions for the improvement of the banks
of the Missouri river, and numerous
votes have been taken on the subject.
The committee on rivers and harbors
1,- Cd 4 I,
mittee of the whole or this house, as
you may choose to call it, has approved
