JAMES J. HILL.

1t himself and did 1t SO closely that he
 showed wheat raising had no mysteries
 for him. The government may dis
 tribute seeds. but Hill has t beat to death on this line. for he distributes not
 only seed. but fine bloodei stock. 10 the farmers along his lines. and like
 wise tells how the seed should be plant ed and how the stock should be bred and cared for. He takes paternal in- terest in the municipalities along his roads. Instructing them how to build up. get rid of disreputable resorts and the like. As to state governments. he has been accused at various times of running most of those in his territory. But his activities do not stop here. When be goes to Wall street. which is frequently. he gives the high fnanciers tips on how to do things right. In fact. Jim HiIl is almost az universal a char acter as Emperor William. He is the Grand old Adviser of the northwest. The only reason that region has not been calIcd the Hll country Is because nobody ever before had the teInerity tO spring sueh a rank pun. Or maylse It has been % callei. only I should hate to think Of any one else as being sO absndv1pd.

things his notion has to go. He not only runs his roads, but tells people ill the vicinity how to farm, how to con. duct banking, how to get immigration and how to manage their towns.
 Horny Handed Farmer.
 MT. Hill is such an omnivorous reader and has such retentive memory that he knows almost everything, from the price of a rivet in lomocotive to the quality of fine oil painting, and from the yield of wheatfield to the way to run steamboat. There may be limita- tions to his knowledge, but I am not conscious of them, and neither is he. He is a horny handed farmer, so he knows all about that. He runs and owns every sort of river and ocean craft except battleships, so he is up on that. He is his own connoisseur in buying paintings, diamonds and other gems, so he is informed in that line He knows so much about the history of foreign lands that he gave some Rus. sians and Belgians who visited him points about their own countries that they had never heard. He has been known to tell his oldest engineers how to run their locomotives and to tell the builders how to make these great ma chimes. When a man once tried to sell him some locomotives Hill showed him that his price was too high, telling him in detail the cost of every component part. from bolts to driving wheels and from whistle to COW catcher. At an. other time when his special train was passing through wheatfleld Hill ask ed one of his men to estimate the yield and when he failed to do SO estimated

YAMEs J. HILL, he was christened


 by his parents, but "Jim' Hill he O has been christened by mankind.
 He has been called 'The Wizard of the Northwest" He has also been called almost every other name in the category, many of them uncompli- mentary. These things have worried him not at all. He has gone on dream ing dreams and making them come true, building railroads, steamships, elevators and what not; talking to farmers, bankers, railroad men and almost everybody else that needed talk ing to. He was born in Canada, but couldn't be kept there, and educated fir the medical profession, but that would not hold him either. He started poor and had all sorts of adversities to meet, but what are adversities to man who dares to think big things and to do them? He has possessed the rare combination of enterprise tempered by economy, of genius governed by com mon sense. He has been accused of being hard taskmaster, even to the point of injustice, but he brings ef- ficiency into his system and achieves his ends. He is certainly strict dis ,ciplinarian, but he makes discipline count. He is charged with disliking re- forms and reformers, of having little sympathy with popular movements and of achieving his purposes by almost any means, as in the Northern Pacific mer- ger. If so, these are part of the man and must be studied in finding the key to his empire building career.

Tbe Great Northern Mogul.

As to the rumor of his retiring. this
 Is not the first time 1t has been sprung
 There have been at least two other oc- casions. years ago. when the newspa- pers started the story that Mr. HIll in- tended to retire. either voluntarily or involuntarily. but Hill failed to see why his life should be regulated by ing. If puns had not been made q capital offense, c remark would be in order here that the Great Northern president Is not of a retiring disposi- ton. but that is beyond the limit. Something about the eternal Hills could likewise be rung in. but that Is also barred Hartman once tried to chase Jim Hill of the map. but the Great Northern nogul refused to be chased. If Hartman could not scare him into relinquishins his job there Is 10 hope that a mere newspaper item csE-do it. The only influence that will eause Hill to retire Is an old gentleman with an bOurgiass and a scytbe. He prevails on us all to quit the game sooner or later. and there is 10 probability that HIll with all his money and Organiz- ing ability. can cirCumvent old man Tine.

A Suggestion.

The Grand Jury seem to think as
shown by their report, that some
hing should be done by the Board
Of Supervisors forthwith to place our
county Jail in condition better pro-
viding against the escape of prison
ers. While we do not attempt to as
sumo the prerogative of debating to
our astute and seasoned by expert
ence Board, yet we shall vouchsafe
in kindly spirit suggestion that
has frequently presented itself to
our mind, and perhaps to theirs also,
following the occurrences of Jail de
liveries-that if acted upon, would
to some e~tent operate to keep the
inmates more secure, and would en-
tail but small expenditure of the
County's money. That is to have
the plank wall fence which surrounds
the Old Bastile ceiled inside: thus
presenting to the Jail bird who had
succeeded in getting out of the walls
of the Jail proper a smooth perpen-
dicular fence surface of about Is feet
upward to escape.
The cross pieces of the fence, now
show uncovered on the inside of the
inclosure at such distances apart tC
afford the escaping inmate, an easy
method of mounting TO the top OF
the fence, once there he can drop tC
the ground on the outside and HE
away. Nearly, we believe we can
say, every instance where escapes
have been made since the fence was
put up, it appeared that the Jail
breakers operated entirely without
any help from the outside. This
being the case, after they had libe
rated themselves into the yard, they
would there have TO remain, unless
perchance some friend on the outside
let down inside a ladder or rope
The latter is a remote possibility,
and could hardly be done without de
lection from some of the nearby res
ident citizens, as the exchange Of
words between prisoner and outside
confederate would doubtless give an
alarm
The fence is a poor one as it stands,
and has Objectionable features any
way it's considered, but if left there
strikes US, should be put in a coDdi-
ton to serve better purpose than
1t now does

Jackson Letter.
Politics Permeates the State Capital
Atmosphere.
Ballot Box Pills suggested as a pur-
gatlve to relieve the cankering
condition of some Politicians.

Politics IS flying around in and
about the capitol so thickly, that you
can smeel il like burning birthstone;
| suppose it would kill bees and house
flies if they were to sd this way,
1t seems that the Oally farm, or the
management thereof has been in the
hands of what | concluded was very
conscientious committee; the csnclu
sions of this cominitte were such as
to make the chiils run up the back,
or down the spine of any decent man,
causing him to be troubled with
Nightmares on account of the condi
on of this convict farm. You know
how about 80 fieas make you feel
when you have that many for bedfel.

do with the convict farm, especially
at this time, ] would feel like | had
more than thirty fieas on me; at least
forty yearling ticks just at the time
they are getting good stick to hold
to me. Now Mr.. Editor when a COW
gets lousey or tickey, give her a good
dose of sulphur and something Gras-
tic to act on her bowls; that is, if a
COW hos any bowels. If she has both,
double the dose, and then take COW
curry comb, and rake on her till you
get the skin of said COW, smooth
that is, improve the old scaley hide.
In short work on her stomach, bow
els and hide until she so improves
that she will give plenty of good
wholesome milk for ali entitled there
to. Politicians have a stomach and
bowels and ought to have soul
and they have one But it seems
that some politicians have forgotten
this very important part of their ex-
istence. So far as the bowels and
StOmache is concerned they need q
very drastic purgative and a some
thing more than curry comb of the
COW kind to cleanse their sordid and
scaley hides. But for. their souls
which never dies, they need a power
above that of the human family to
cleanse it. 1t needs prayer, humble
contrite prayer, but am afraid that
politics has worked its way into the
souls of those politicians so that they
or some of them, have forgotten how
to pray Then in this their sad con-
dition let us pray for them, and at
the next election, let US operate on
their political bowels, stomachs and
livers with such q drastic dose of pur-
gative ballot box pills, as will put
their hardened, crusted, political sy :
TENS in good honest working order.

It is rumored afresh that Count
Witte viii shortly retire from the
Premiership OF Russia. This will be
very unfortunate thing for. that
country in its present unsettled po-
Iitical condition. TO Whites guiding
genius is due the present Govern
ment's cohesion in the face of revo-
lutionary outbreaks calculated to
have overthrow a far better en-
trenched national ruling than ex-
isted there when Witte took hold OF
the reins for the second time.

climax Nearly one hundred came
out and waded to the Wedding; those
who refused to wade washed their
feet in their huggies crossing the
branches to be present at lovely Lou
venia Turner's sumptuous wedding.
Well! of all the fine costumes the
happy, smiling, sensible bride was
bedecked most queenly and moved
with the grace of gazelle beside one
of Greene County.s best sons, Ey
land Hams, the widows son, towards
the altar The charming Miss Lou
venia Turner became Mrs. Eyland
Ham at y m Well! of all the we'd
ding feasts this was second to none:
the dinner was remarkable good
judging by the way the walters and
cooks sampled the dainty dishes.
Elder P. G. Hillman officiated, and
the guests oficiated at the table af-
forwards, most ably seconding the
worthy Elder. Hurrah for Janet!
Greene County has come to the front
educationally, and Janet matrimoni-
ally. Janet's weddings are only ex-
celled by her generosity and good
behavior
