We still have one or two men in this
community who stand around on the
street corners. and from morning to
night complain about the town, their
neigbbors, their taxes and the weat Their.
Such men are mighty common clay
and not OF any use to their town or
families. They seem to live, but no.
body knews how. They are like mo-
squitos and flies-not dangerous, but
disagreeable to have about. 1t is not
necessary to publish the names Of these
individuals, as anybody can pick them
out. By walking down the street you
can hear them telling their tales Of
woe.

The only objection to the removal
OF the tax on wood alcohol comes from
the Standard Oil Company, which
would be compelled to reduce the price
of gasoline and oil in order to COM
pete with the cheaper article. The
Standard ought to call to its assist
ance the spirits of those who have de.
parted this life by foolishly partaking
of wood alcohol as 4 beverage when
the supply Of corn juice run out.
This might help some, and would in.
troduce wave of sentiment into the
discussion-the only recourse left to
the Rockefeller-Aldrich crowd in its
greedy resistance to a meritorious bill.

Brides Need Not obey"

Cheer up, girls.
The Presbyterian general assembly
is on your side.
There is going to be no more "Obey"
in the Presbyterian marriage cere-
mony. The Rev. d. Henry Van Dyke
and his committee have at last pub
lished their brand new Presbyterian
prayer book, and "Obey," that has
made so much trouble, is calmly cut
out altogether.
There is no "worldly goods" in the
marriage ceremony, either.
1t is expected by Presbyterian lead
ers that some churches will refuse to
use the new book, as some Presbyte-
rians are bitterly set against any re-
form in the church, but there is little
doubt that in the east and in the large
cities OF the country generally it will
be adopted.

to Lind in the way of recent improve
ments, which include an addition to
the passenger depot and moving it to
the other side of the tracks, a new
freight depot and the erection Of two
large stand pipes. The business men
OF Lind are also confident that when
the route of the Milwaukee is def
nitely announced it will be found to
pass through their town.
Lind has a present population OF be-
tween 800 and 1000 and is steadily
growing The financial interests of
