Recently an article appeared in tie
St. Louis Globe-Democrat containing
short account of the efforts being
made by that city to secure natural
gas. Two companies we're before the
council Of that city asking for fran
chises to bring to the city natural gas
and distribute 1t to the people OF the
city. The council offered these com.
panies most liberal terms, in fact of.
fered all the companies asked. These
companies propose to pipe gas from
and furnish gas 80 cheap that the city
OF ST. Louis offers the most liberal
terms to induce them to undertake the
great task. Now, II these companies
can AFFORD TO pipe gas from Kansas,
why should not this city be able TO in
duce some company to pipe gas from
the fields west of us? The distance
to Ardmore from the gas belt is but
trife compared with the proposed

this city on an agreement to dispose
of it for manufacturing purposes at a
low rate, we would have the most at

pipe dream, no matter how it appears,
and if the Commercial Club will take
hold OF the matter the natural develop
ment of the case will show itself.

The Rather in Captivity.

OF all the SNAKES, the rattler Is by
far the most intelligent, wherefo- he
suffers most in captivity. AS a zoolog!-
cal exhibit he is housed in a large
glass-fronted cage where day and
night he lies on the artificially warm
Cd sand, so cruelty different from the
sun-bathed desert with its thickets Ol
Spanish bayonet and groves of dwacf
palmetto. And as different as are the
wild and the captive surroundings OF
the snake, as different is the splendid
viewed in a cage. The very spirit OF
the creature seems broken. He coils,
he sounds his rattle and he strikes at
whatever intrudes, but the vim and
fire is extinguished with the artificial
home.
No longer can he capture his fool
the insignificant rat. Once every few
days a dead rat is thrown to him, for,
were the rodent given but half

Of the enemy and bite his spine in
two before the viper had time even u
maneuver in his narrow confines
Two rarely more than three years,
a rattlesnake survives captivity. In
his own grim way he actually pines
away for his freedom And a rattle
snake does as he has lived, alone, with
out sign of weakness, without even a
struggle. To the farthest corner of a
cage he draws himself, coils his
mighty body, turns his wicked head
TO the wall and rests his chin on his
back once, toward the very last, he
raises his tail and, quivering it, sends
a last prolonged farewell. Then the
tail sinks and the rattlesnake is dead

sit on the floor with their feet under
them. For the fat men of the party
it was difficult task but not the
most difficult as there were no knives,
forks or spoons and the usages of
good society would not permit the
use of the fingers. Chopsticks were
provided and 'No choppy, no eaty''

County Attorney, George Cosson
claims to have accumulated evil
dence sufficient to prove the illegal
ity of the liquor traffic as now
handled by all of the permit hold
ers of the county except one. And
acting on this evidence, has order
ed that all the permits to sell intox-
icating liquors according to law
now held in the towns of Audubon,
Gray and Extra, be surrendered to
the Clerk of Courts Immediately.
He has also ordered each assessor
in the towns of Audubon, Gray and
Extra to serve five days notice on
the property owners wherein the
drug stores making said illegal
sales are located. And that if $3.50
mulch tax is not paid within the
five days, that the same would be
charged up against the property.
In Extra. the order is carried out
to the letter, and the Extra Concert
Band is playing "The Holy City,"
but we notice an angel or two
among the crowd that usually
gather about the band stand. with
very wry countenances. Personally
we don't know of single instance
where the Extra druggists have dis.
regarded the law, but we do know
that they are gentlemen of the
highest type in their profession.

From valued exchange we CLEAN
the following for thesreason that it's
the sentiment of the Audubon
County Journal:
The editor of the Henry Republi-
can announces the following rules
which govern in his Office and
which in fact govern the make up
of every home paper: There are
always a few items of news that we
never print If it is something that
would hurt the feelings of anyone
who might read it we leave it out.
If it is something that would reflect
upon the character and good name
of some person we leave it out; if it
is something that would not be
nice to read about the fireside and
in the presence of children and the
ladies we never print it; if it is
something that would make anyone
feel good we want to print it; if it is
something that would make a few
hearts lighter we are glad to print
it; it it is something that would
encourage anyone to lead a better
life we are anxious to print it.
There is enough that is good and
wholesome to fill this paper every
week in the year. We like to lead
the reading public into higher and
nobler ways of thinking if we can.
We like to do all that we can for
the improvement of society and the
betterment of mankind. We believe
that there is more of good than bad
in the world and that part of our
duty is to pick out the good and
overlook the bad. There is enough
of pain, sorrow and heartach in
this world without heaping Goals
of fire on the flame of shame and
regret by parading the faults of
of those who err. That is our style
and that is the kind OF paper we
believe in making. If that suits
you we are glad to hear you say so.
Fit does not we can not change
our principles to oblige you, how
ever cordial our friendship may be.

The Passing of the Frank Gault
Stock of Merchandise.

For many years the firm of Frank
Gault & Co. did very large pusi-
ness in Extra. The brothers, Frank
and Gus, worked in harmony and
conducted the business on paying
basis until that fatal day when
Frank breathed his last in such
lamentable manner while at Colfax
Iowa, trying to recuperate his lost
energy, brought on while applying
himself too closely to business.
Through the imprudence of a few
of the creditors, at this time, the
firm was forced into bankruptcy.
The Court judiciously appointed
Mr.. Earnest Powell, brother-in-law
to the Gault Brothers, to conduct
the business under the old firms
name. Mr.. Powell accepted the task
and called to his assistance, Mr..
Otto Witthauer as book keeper and
with the assistance of Gus Gault,
they have accomplished the task
set them by the Court and paid off
every dollar against the firm and
upon a recent order was released
from bankruptcy with a very large
stock of goods still on hand to
show the skillful management of
Messrs Powell, N'itthauer aud
Gault. Mr.. Dudley, a gentleman
who has been in the same line of
business at Churdan, Iowa for
twenty three years, and who has the
entire confidence of the people of
that section of Iowa, came to Extra
few weeks ago and traded a fine
Iowa farm for the remainder of this
stock of goods. Through the rapid
increase of the value of the farm he
traded for this stock, Mr.. Dudley is
enabled and intends so as to close
out the stock quickly to reduce
the price on everything in the store.
Some lines he is selling as low as
90 per cent below their original
markings. He does not desire to
move dollars worth of goods away
from Extra, and intends to merit
your patronage by honest dealing
and to sell you these goods at such
a low figure that he will be enabled
to finish the sale in thirty days.
