ing until SOME tune in the fall or
the first part OF NEXT january
Many member favor simply pass
ing the necessary appropriation and
then adiOMrning. IF there should
be deadlock on the senatOrshlp
some of them would be in favor OF
putting that over until fall or
January. It is also believed 1T will
be impossible to flash up the work
by June unless there should be "a
wholesale XII ing of bills.
The big head is q popular way
of expressing a coraur0n and very
frequent aillnent. lie ARISES from
various sources. s0t the real to1lt' da-
ton is a lack of sense. A lltf'e
money develops it in soGae people
a few good clothes gives it 20 Others:
a little Office, where a chance lo
given TO exercise a little authority,
is often the cause of it. while others
get it having a little better job than
their associates. The truth is no
sensible person gets the big head"
The one who became stuck up and
stiff necked from sources of Any
kind. are weak in the intellectual
cahbef.
County clerks throughout the
state are naUch wrought up over
the slaughter OF the bill which aim
ed to give them the right TO collect
from counties for their expenses
for annual attendance on county
clerks conventions are Of a great
deal of value to counties in making
provisions for uniform bookkeeping
and other work of like character,
and say that the money expended
by counties in paying their expenses
to the conventions would have been
money we'll invested. The assembly |
did not look at the measure in this
light, however, and killed the bill
making the provision without much |
ado.
The man who wrestles with the
COW and learns the calves to suck,
who casts the corn before the swine,
is now In greatest luck; for buffers
on the upper grade, veals higher
than kite, pork is climbing up the
scale and beef is out of sight; eggs
he gathers every day from his
Poland chicken coop are almost
worth their weight IN gold and we
are in the soup. His corn brings
him fancy price, its rising every
day, and he rakes in all kind of mon
for a half load of hay. The farmer
is in the saddle and when he comes
to town the rest of us by right |
should go way back and sit down.
The local paper should be found |
in every home. No children should
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. 1t is
said 30 be the stepping stone of in
telligence in all those matters not
to be found IN books. Give your
children foreign paper which con-
talns not a word about any person,
place or thing, which they saw or
perhaps ever beard of, and how
could you expect them to be in
terested. But let them have the
home paper and read of people
whom they meet and of places of
which they are familiar and soon
an interest is awakened which iu-
creases with every arrival Of the
local paper. Thus a habit of read
ing Is formed and those children
will read the papers all their lives
and become intelligent men and
women, a credit to their ancestors,
strong in knowledge of the world as
it is today.
The most interesting and hard i
est fought case of the recent term
of court at Richland Center just |
closed was the case of n. B. Hood,
administrator, VS.. the Lone Rock |
Bridge company. The action was
brought to secure damages from
said company for the death of G. |
H. Hood, who was one of the young
men killed in the accident at the
Lone Rock bridge several months
since, which accident was caused by
the giving way of the north APP
proach of said bridge under the
weight of a traction engine driven
by the deceased. The plaintiffs con-
tended that the bridge was faulty
of construction and out of repair to
such a degree that it was unsafe for
ordinary travel, and asked damages
in the amount of $4,000. The de-
