Topics Of the Times

One college professor says the earth
frequently wobbles in it's flight. Such
thing is excusable on election days
and New Years.
To raise money for the French
treasury the municipal council Of La
Courtine gravely proposes that a tax
should be levied on every dress woman
possesses over and above one for every
day wear and one for Sundays and fete
days.
The Nevada legislature has adj
journed with remarkable record. 1t
repealed all but one restrictive gamb-
ling and liquor law on the books. The
only restriction Of the kind it retained
was the one on prize fighting.
The present "visible supply Of
wheat in the United States and Cam
ada is smaller than it has been at
the corresponding season in a good
many years, with the exception of last
year. The price of wheat has been
maintained in our market, notwith-
standing a tremendous falling off in
export, due to high prices. Whenever
the price Of wheat exceeds a dollar a
bushel millions Of people in Europe
stop eating wheat bread and take to
rye and barley, potatoes and other
substitutes. In this country nothing Of
the kind happens, and the immigrants,
who have been accustomed to black
bread all their lives, begin eating
wheat bread as soon as they land here.
Editor Payne of the Nevada Repre-
sentative does not agree with the SUI
prerne court and still thinks the Tenn
pie amendment unconstitutional. How
ever, Mr.. Payne is going to let it go
at that.
Fort Dodge pastors have voted to
turn down a proposition to engage Bill
ly Sunday to conduct a revival The
pastors think Mr.. Sundays language
in The pulpit Objectionable. Possibly
the elders object somewhat to the big
collections as well.
Doukhobors tramping half insane in
search of a Messiah and blowing with
traction engines thru years, often is
picture of the life of the Canadian
Russian Quaker colony. The colony
has now 500 heavy teams, 1000 milking
cows LOCO sheep, which are kept for

THE DEVIL PRESENTS A CLAIM.

Whatever may be said in derogation
az the devil. and few Of us are bash
full in attributing much blame to him
that really belongs at home. his satan
&c majesty has never been accused OF a
lack of shrewdness of ignorance or hu-
man nature. II the signature to an ar
ticle in Harper's Weekly is genuine
sSatan" has contributed an article on
the quarrel between the CSongrega-
tionalists ard Rockefeller's money that
is not only one of the best things yet
written or said on the subject but is
prma facie evidence of the devifs
perspicacity and worldly knowledge.
Some have attributed its authorship
to Mark Twain, but the signature at
the bottom is Satan" in bold letters.
However, should it turn out that Mr.
Clemens is responsible it will not have
been the first time Mark Twain played
the devil.
Three fourths of the great charities
the article declares, are direct contri-
buttons from Satans own proper funds
He supports his claim thus:
The American boards trade is
financed mainly from the gr;aveyards
Requests, you understand. Conscience
money. Confession of an old crime
and deliberate preparation of a new
me; for deceased's contribution is a
robbery Of his heirs. Shall the board
decline requests because they stand
for one Of these offenses every time
and generally for both?
Allow me to continue. The charge
most persistently and resentfully and
remorselessly dwelt upon is that Mr..
Rockefeller'.s contribution is incurably
tainted by perjury-perjury proved
against him in the court. 1t makes
us Shutdown in my place.! Be
cause there isn't a rich man in your
vast city who doesn't perjure himself
every year before the tax board. They
are all caked with perjury, many lay
ers thick. Ironclad, so to speak. If
there. is ore that isn't I desire to ac-
quire him for my museum, and will
pay dinosaur rates. = e = I wish you
to remember that my rich perjurers
are contributing to the American
board with frequency; it is money
filched from the sworn off personal
tax; therefore, it is the wages of
sin; therefore, it is my money;
therefore 1t is that contribute it:
and finally, it is therefore as 1 have
said: since the board daily accepts
contributions from me, why should it
decline them from Mr.. Rockefeller,
who is, as good as 1 am, let the courts
say what they may?
It is not to be denied that Satan
makes out fair claim against the
charity funds. What are we to do
about this, hamper the charities by
rendering to the devil the things that
are the DEVILS, or are we to enbarrass
his further operations by confiscation
of his munitions, cutting the line be-
tween him and his base of supplies and
making Rockefeller's money contra
band of war?

manufactures Lumber of all kinds
has been in strong demand for both
building and factory use. and contin-
ued scarcity OF hard woods has given
much frmness to values. The good
weather brought many visiting buy
ers into the jobbing market and large
orders were placed for dry goods,
clothing, footwear and food products,
transactions In some OF the staples
exceeding the volume of u year ago.
Shipping rooms are worked day and
night, more of the recent purchases
requiring earlier forwarding than was
expected. Retailers buy more largely
on q discount basis and mercantile
collections for both city and interior
are satisfactory. New building per-
mits this week aggregated $S04.3OO.
against $SS9,9O0 last week, and $323,25O
a year ago. Real estate sales were 3d.

Retail business Is fair. Money is IN

Pittsburg - The demand for window
glass has not improved during the
week. The factories are running
steadily and stock Is being accumulat-
ed. Prices are generally quoted at
30, 10 and S, but lower prices are re-
ported and the market Is weaker. Inn
ports Of window glass for eight months
ending February. 1905, amounted to
21S.5S6 boxes, compared with 549,436
boxes during the same period in 1904.
The decrease Is due to the strike OF
glass workers in Belgium.
Gloversville-Glove manufacturers
continue busy, altho a shortage Of
leather stock has handicapped them to
some extent. Indications are that
spring trade will not be fully supplied.
Retail business is fair, and collections
good.
Philadelphia. Manufacturers of
textiles are slowly increasing their
output, with the exception of manu-
facturers Of upholstery goods and

is that the men who have no homes
will never be patriotic defenders Of

FARM POPULATION DIMINISHING
[Grundy Democrat.l
The returns so far made by the
assessors of this county indicate
that there will be falling off in the
population amcng the farmers. The
cause lies in the pronounced tend
ency of Grumpy county farmers for
the ownership of too much land.
Most of the farm lands that have
been transferred in this county the
past three years have been bought
by farmers who before were land
owners and the transfers, but added
to their holdings.
AS the land is now apportioned it
is safe to state that if an average
among all of the land owners in this
county We're made that each would
own no less than $40 acres of 800 soil.
While there are many farmers who
have ample capacity to get the limit
of production out of this large acre
age there are many who cannot and
do not and this diminishes the returns
that the lands are capable Of yielding.
There is no poor land in this
county. There is some that yields
poorly, but this is the fault of the
one that till it, and the cause in a

that "A pleasant feature Of the presi-

people of no state in the union believe
their liberties are in jeopardy. In
point of fact the people of every state
of this union love their country, be-

chorage with hope i'm behalf of it's
future There is something of proof in
what is real in this trip Of Theodore
Roosevelt, president, via Louisville to
Austin and San Antonio. In what
other country of the world could the
experience be matched?"
