The Magma Charta.

The Magma Charta was written with
ordinary black ink on very heavy
parchment. 1t is a curious fact, as
stated by an eminent English historian,
that Of all the barons who signed that
most important document not one could
write other than his signature and only
two were able to write even that.

Bearing the motto, Equal Rights

I ign book TO be used in the approach
ilg congressional campaign was issued
by the democratic congressional com
mittee at Washington. D. G. 1t is
voluminous, being composed of 243
pages and containing vast amount of
material designed to combat the
claims and policies of the republican
party. while at the same time it up
holds all the principles for which
democracy contends.
After quoting in full the platform
adopted by the National Democratic
convention at st. Louis in July, 1904,
the book enters into an exhaustive
history of the protective tariff system,
going back to the first act of 1889.
1t is declared that the republicans re-
fer to this act with unremitting joy,
because of the preamble that it is
necessary for the support of the gov
ernment for the discharge of the debts
of the United States and the en-
couragement and protection of manu-
facturers, that duty be paid on goods,
wares and merchandise imported. I"

NO FOOTBALL AT WA|TSBuRG
Game in Disfavor and School Patrons
Petition for Adjustment.

Two accidents resulted from the
first football game of the season at
the public school in Waitsburg, says
the Gazette The boys were playing
the game Tuesday when Emerson
Loundagin was thrown against the
sidewalk and his left arm was dislo-
GATED at the elbow and the point of
the bone was fractured. He was tax
en- at once to his home and DIR. Cheno-
weth called who reduced the dislo-
cation and fractured bone. Emerson
is now resting easy.
Ray Thomas was also victim of
the game though he was taking no
part iii it. His spine was severely in
jured. The attendance of physician
was necessary and with careful nurs-
ing he will soon be able to attend
school,
The game is in great disfavor with
our citizens, especially where the
scholars of our public school are con-
cerned as there is no instructor for
the sport and the boys not being ac-
quainted with the rules of the game
play haphazard and continually place
themselves in critical positions that en-
danger life and limb. A petition was
circulated Wednesday which was
signed by nearly every parent who has
children attending the school. The
petitioners asked that the school
board rule that no more football be
allowed on the school grounds. The
board held session aud decided to
grant the wish of the petitioners.

To Get Rid of Flies.

The following simple and not
unpleasant means are said to be
effective in keeping flies out OF
the house:
We all know how flies settle
upon a screen door IN rainy
weather, or upon those of the
Kitchen in any weather, wait
rng for an opportunity to slip in
- soon as it is opened. If a
cloth dipped in kerosene is rub.
bed over the outer side of the
wire and frame of the screen
the flies will not settle upon it.
They do not like kerosene. One
application will usually prove
effective for several days.
The other agent-oil of law
ender-is for the same purpose
of disposing of such Of the en-
envy as have already gained an
entrance to the hnu~"

gregate upon tnat, for flies en-
i Joy sunshine as thoroughly as
moths detest it.. Now with an
atomizer spray the window cas-
ing with the oil of lavender, and
either leave the bottle open on
the sill or saturate a small cloth
with some of it. The flies will
soon become stupefed and then
can be brushed down and dis.
posed of. If an atomizer is not al
hand, rub the casing with a sat,
urated cloth. 1t is also a good
plan to rub the oil over
any place that the flies particu
larly like to light upon, The
hanging lamp has often great
attraction for them. but if the
shades and chains are rubbed

After thinking over the Re
publican attempt at trust bust
ing, mostly stage plays, can you
point TO one trust that has re.
duced the price of its products
in consequence of Republican
activity? Results are what the
tarlff-taxed public are looking
for, but the record shows that
the cost of living is now AS per
cent higher than it was before
the present Republican tariff
law was ens cted. The TACT is
that not only must the laws
against trusts be enforced, but
their monopoly and special ad'
vantages must be destroyed. 1t
is a bsurd that such a trust as
