Killed at Breckenridge,

A sad accident occurred at Breck-
enridge last Saturday when Abraham
LIE Mieux was run over and killed by
his train. He was between the cars
while the train was in motion, and
caught his foot in frog and was run
over. The remains were brought to
this city and the funeral was held
from the Assumption church Mon
day.
Deceased was 81 years of age, and a
young man who was generally liked.
Sympathy is expressed for his parents
and other relatives in their great sor-

by good margin. He will now con-
test for election with Jay Donovan the
Democratic nominee.
The contest for county auditor also
attracted considerable attention, being
between Mr.. Munro and Mr.. Ware.
The latter won out by 253 votes, and
will be elected as there is no Demo
cratic nominee.
For Judge of Probate, J. @. Morri-
son won out over the present incum-
bent. E. J. Babe. AS the Democrats
have nominated A. L. Stenger, there
will be second contest for election.
Mr.. Beise, the candidate for county
attorney, who had no contest for the
nomination but will have contest at
the November election with J. B. Or
mond. the Democratic nominee, re-
ceived 926 votes.
In the second commissioner district,
Fred Rentz won over L. HI. Pushor.
Mr.. Rentz also has contestant at the
polls in the person of J. J. Homo, the
Democratic nominee.
In the legislative fight, the expected
happened and Mr.. Bicknell and Mr..
Spooner were both nominated. Inter-
est in this contest has been ebbing
ever since the county convention, and
little interest was shown on primary
dav until after the polls were closed
and the results began to come in.
Mr.. Bicknell and Mr.. Spooner both
made good runs considering the
warmth of the contest between them'
and Mr.. Johanson also made good
showing considering the small amount
of campaigning he did, but it seems
to be the rule of electit MS where two
or more men are to be selected that
the ones who fight one another the
hardest are the ones chosen. A SINH
lar incident occurred six years ago
when two Grant county men were
sent from this district simply because
the contest between them was the
most pronounced.
1t is a peculiar fact worthy of note
that not even one woman's ballot was

Interest was conferred in the con-

together with the fact that the wealth

were responsible for the large vote.

The Old Great Eastern.

The last days OF the Great Eastern
were certainly sad, considering the pur-
pose for which she was designed and
the great work she did In cable laying.
For some time before she was broken
up on the mud Of the river Mersey,
near Liverpool. she was on view as a
show ship One firm of Liverpool
clothiers hired her FOR n season, and In
addition to using her for it's advertislng
purposes made use of her for catchpen-
ny shows. In the large cable tank a
circus was fitted UP and performances
given at so much a head, while other
exhibitions OF the Coney Island type
were spread ali over her deck.

The Hazel Tree.

A curious survival of the days when
the magicians OF Europe sought indie

the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The old alchemlsts used
to make their divining rods out Of
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that 1T would mysterIously direct
Its owner to hidden treasures, IL Ii was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all those occult
entertainments Of the middle ages. AS
time went on, the rod Of Jacob" as
branch OF hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would Ii lead to the discovery OF
buried boards, but 1T would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
1t was a sure guide to underground
springs as well. and was an unfailing
charm against the lightning.

Never judge by appearance.

may be a delinquent subscriber. "
We have a few subscribers on
our books who, we are sorry to
say, do not seem to take very seri-
ously our presentation of accounts.
These accounts are not very large
in any one instance, yet the total
represents a very comfortable sum
of money $50 is n comfortable
sum to a country EDITOR.
These accounts have been rem
dered more than once; and as the
readers in question have not given
prompt response in any case, we
have at last decided to take other
and more rigid steps looking to the
enforcement of our claims.
To those in arrears on subscrip-
ton, we will say this: If we owed
YOU dollar YOU would present
your bill and expect payment; if
we did not promptly settle, we
should (inallprobability) getcussed.
If you can understand that feeling,
it will not be hard for you to remit
the bills which will be presented to
you (for us) by strangers within
the next few days.
The bills are honest accounts,
well earned, and you know it.

THE MODERN HOTEL.
Product OF the Times, IL In Made by
the Guests.

EFoduct OF the Times, II In Made By
the Guests.
Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time TO time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping. one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown TO disadvantage when
compared with the inns OF colonial
days. In these articles the writer d.
lateS and expatiates on the hospitality
OF the old time tavern. and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands OF the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
II he will drop sentiment for a moment
and give the subject n little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
iSt OF hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn Of hundred years ago. The
only advantage Of hotel OF those
times lay In the fact that the lack OF
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler warmer fellow feeling and great
er sOciability-a condition I'm which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today Again. the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together. en- route OF at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
BILE, but far more desIrab BILE than in our
day Of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is a product OF the
times. The wants. desires. whims. fads
and. on top OF all these. the imperative
demands OF those who travel have
made the hotel OF today what Il is from
the standpoint OF food. accommoda-
lions, method OF service and manage
ment and from every point OF view.
The hotel keeper Of today responds to
the bidding Of the guests. One might
almost say Of the man and woman who
travel: Here is your hotel You have
planned IL, furnished IL. You have out
lined its methods OF management and
1t is what you believe should be COM

discouraged in their efforts and are
now willing and anxious to try
any remedy that will look to their
relief.
In our opinion, that is the way
in which the germ of government
ownership has been fostered and
grown.
The corporations have no one to
blame but themselves.
1t will be only a matter of few
years at most, until the Senators
from New York, Massachusetts,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Nevada,
Texas, Rhode Island, Ohio and
West Virginia will be succeeded
by other men.
When the terms of the present
Senators from the States men
toned expire, or death removes
them from a sphere of pernicious
activity, perhaps the people will
see to it that men are elected to
these positions who will bear no
faint, or shadow of faint, or suspi-
cion of connection with any of the
great corporations.
If absolutely clean men are not
elected, then look out for govern
ment ownership; for the revolution
is now in the making.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

The idea of national ownship or
control is not new idea, by any
means, vet it is only within the
past few years that the subject has
received serious consideration in
the United States.
The principle of government
ownership is not essentially pleas
ing to us, and yet we favor its in
auguration under the conditions
which are now prevalent in this
country.
Only few years ago was it dis
covered that the people had any
legal right to exercise (through the
regular departments of the gov
ernmenD control and supervision

As soon as the people realized
that they had the power to demand
the proper handling and admins.

fully expected to see conditions
improved.
And yet conditions have not i'm.
proved, or at least they have i'm.
proved so little and that so slowly.
that the people have lost faith in
the laws.
The laws are just as good and
strong and true now as they have
ever been, but the great reason
why proper supervision has moi
been enforced is because the great

States.
Now the people realize, at last
that they can secure no laws, no
the enforcement of existing laws
as long as the Senate of the United
States bears the brand of trus
control.
That is the simple statement O
fact concerning government own

Odd Climax That Was Not a Fart OF

Frank Gilmore. the actor. tells the
following story about his aunt. Miss

ut the Theatre Royal. Dublin. many
years ago.
Miss Thorne was given a part In
The Masked Prince the second piece

CHANGING through her part hastily at
breakfast. she noticed that there was
one scene IL which she had so little TO
say that II could be learned just be-
fore going on She decided TO skip that
scene and get TO the longer passages.
When night came. and my aunt
made her appearance. she did very
well In the first scene. In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped In the morning. She rushed 20
the corner In which she left her book,
but IL was not there. Finally, the
stage manager. receiving no response
to his repeated calls. sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was. before large audience. with
out the slightest idea OF what she was
supposed to do or say. The scene was
courtroom. At a high desk sat the
presiding judge. letter perfect In his
part. because he had IL ready 10 read
from the papers In front OF him. A
trial was taking place, and Miss
Thorne. to her horror, discovered that
she was to be the prir clpal witness.
on whose answers hung the entire plot
OF the play. The judge adjusted his
spectacles. looked at his part. and said

What was she to answerr She
glanced around helplessly. She hadn't
the faintest idea what she had seen
