friends IN Salt Lake, and is incidentally
discussing politics. Mr., Whitmore, al.

AN EARLY REMINIScEcE.

Capt. Grant Marsh kindly sent
us the St. Louis Republican from
which we clip the following from
''River Notes."
Captains Grant Marsh and Geo
Keith who will again, the coming
season, engage with I. P. Baker, Of
the Baker line, in North Dakota,
state that the company has con-
tract for moving 5000 tons OF
freight on the Yellowstone next
summer.
Captain Billy Lewis tells a re-
markable story concerning an in
cident in the life of Captain Grant
Marsh, while serving as master and
pilot on the Mississippi. Captain
Marsh was en- route down the Mis-
sissippi in a daylight run, leaving
st. Louis on the morning Of Sep
tember II, 1908, as second mate on
the steamer Little Eagle No. 2,
pushing a large empty barge ahead.
"We reached the Okaw river, about
seventy miles down the Mississippi,
he said, "when Captain Marsh look
ed out to the west and discovered
signs of violent storm. He has
tily called down to the engineer,
Charles Dewitt, instructing the
crew to prepare for the storm and
to hasten aboard the barge in case
of danger. In less than twenty
seconds, the storm, q SECULAR twist
er, was upon us, and we all scooted
I for the barge. After I had landed
safe on the barge I looked back
and saw that the wind had tilted
the steamer up on edge, and she
kept on going up until the boilers
rolled out into the water. Imme-
diately there was loud explosion,
blowing the front part Of the hull
and deck into flinders, and tearing
the steamer loose from the barge.
This. Of course, cut off all chance
for Captain Marsh to reach the
barge, and forced him to retreat to
the stern. As the boat kept on

ROSA BONHEUR.

In the M. & F. High School,
Miss Margaret Taylor, as an in
centive to good work, promised
her class in Language, that the
one who could write the best
paper on the life of Rosa Bonheur,
she would ask the Adair County
News to kindly publish. After
careful grading Edgar Reeds pa
per won the honor.
Rosa Bonheur was born in
France, May 22nd, 1923.
Her parents were very poor
and she did not have a very nice
time, she wanted to live on a
farm so she could run about and
play.
After awhile her father moved
to a little town in France called
By. They lived over a bath
house. Across the street there
was meat shop. There was a
pig in front to advertise their
meat. Rosa liked to go over and
see the pig she thought it was
very nice.
Whe Rosa's mother died she
was seven years old and the old
est child in the family.
There was a little girl named
Nathlie Meas that Rosa liked to
play with. This little girl was
very sick and delicate and the
children liked to tease her.
One day when Rosa's father
went away she went into his
room and painted a bunch of
cherries. When her father came
back he was shown the painting
and pronounced it very fine.
Her father was a great artist
but he did not make much money.
When she was nineteen years
old she won the finest prize on
"OXen Flowing" Everybody
thought this picture so fine that
she decided to paint a picture on
'The Horse Fair She studied
a year and a half on different
horses before she painted this
picture. She lived a very long
life and became one Of the finest
artists in the world. She died
March the 22nd, 1899.

In another column will be found an
advertisement of the Gradyville stock
farm, under the management of w. L.
Grady, proprietor. That advertise
ment speaks Of the merits of the stock
advertised, and which have been SO
thoroughly proven in this part of the
State that no one will say that the
picture is too highly drawn. The Pea
cocks, known throughout the entire
country have been meeting the demands
for beauty, action and general purpos-
es in highclass lines for years. Mr..
Grady is to be congratulated on his
signal success in sticking to the blood
he first selected, and in holding on to
the individual he purchased to adj
vance the worth of high class horses in
this part of the State. Jordan Pea
cock has proven his worth as sire and
enters the service of 1906 unimpaired.
Mr.. Grady also has younger horse,
sired by Jordan, that is as promising
as Jordan was at same age or even
much better than he was at that time.
Read his advertisement and make up
your mind. AS fair, square man you
will find w. L. Grady up to the notch,
and stock intrusted to his care will re-
ceive the best attention. He under
stands his business and is willing to ap-
ply his knowledge.

WED, MARCH 81, 1906.

The action of the Democratic
Committee of the Third Appellate
District last week calling a pri-
mary to determine who shall be
our nominee and assessing each
candidate 100000 to enter the
race does not. appeal to us as
truly Democratic. We h av e
never favored a plan to shut out
any worthy aspirant for any posi-
ton of public trust and honor.
A primary means that those who
seek office must have money and
without it they can not aspire.
Such a policy in our judgment is
not in accord with Democratic
principles. A primary may be
fair and it may be unfair, but it is
expensive and carries no more
safeguards against frauds than
delegated conventions which are
inexpensive and unobstructive to
those without a big balance to
their credit in bank. Year by
year the money influence is prov
ing it's power in both political
parties. 1t is shutting out the
man who qualities without cash.
We believe in a fair, free express
sion Of the people, in the most
natural way to select their candl-
dates and also in the rights of
every man to seek position
without the loss Of a single dol
lar. Our fears may lot prove
correct, but the time will come,
according to our views, when the
costly methods Of a primary will
prove disastrous to our party I'M
less they are Abandoned. The
young man who prepares himself
for usefulness in the political
field of action has but little show
ing under present action and ten
denotes. This paper has never
favored a high tariff; it believes
in equal privileges for all and a
free, fair opportunity for every
Democrat whether he has a mil
lion Or as poor as a church mouse.
In justice to our member of the
committee, Mr.. Gordon Mont
gomery, he voted for a conven-
ton and his vote was the only
one favoring it.
