There are two ways of spending
dollar. You can spend it at home,
gain an easy conscience, make
another friend and perhaps get the
dollar back tomorrow, or you send
1t away feeling that you have
sinned, offended the home merchant
and lost forever influence for good
to yourself and neighbor.
The Appleton milk dealers who
effected a combination to boost
prices 20 six cents a quart, have
come to grief. The retailers of the
tactical fluid neglected to take the
fact into consideration that an ad
vance in prices might invite new
competition. The farmers were not
slow to improve their opportunity
to sell milk at the prices which the
dealers had rejected, and the COM
bination is now long on experience
and short on business.
How dear to our hearts is the
old silver dollar, when some kind
subscriber presents it to view-the
liberty head without necktie or
collar, and all the strange things
that to us seem so new; the wide
spreading eagle, the arrows below
it, the stars and the words with the
strange things they tell. The coin
of our fathers! We're glad that
we know it, for some time or other
twill come in right well-the spread
eagle dollar, the star spangled
dollar, the old silver dollar we all
love so we'll.

INSURANCE LAWS.
Lodge Insurance As Well As Old Line
Needs Regulating.

Fraternal as well as old line in
surance will come in for consldera-
ton at the present session of the
legislature and bills Of great impor-
lance bearing on this subject will
be presented to the legislature.
The questions with reference 70
fraternal life insurance which viii
be touched in the measures will be:
Measures demanding that fra
ternal policies be protected by sulIi-
Gent premiums TO carry them IN
accordance with the terms of the
American experience tables, with a
provision for an annual accounting
on the policies and a return or ac-
crediting to the members of the or
CARNATIONS of all unused premiums
on their policies.
Enclosures requiring that all
fraternal policies or certificates OF
membership state on their face the
exact benefit guaranteed members
or the insured.
The fact that several of the frater-
nal companies are willing to accept
conditions of this character with
out a fight and that at least one
fraternal company is already on the
basis which this legislature will
make compulsory will be strong
argument in favor of the bills.

rumors, but for reliable news you
must read your home paper.

This is the year, the month and
the week when the editor must
once more remind his delinquent
subscribers how badly he needs
that dollar.
To refuse paper at the post
Office is simply cowardly way of
insulting the editor, and to thus re-
fuse it when indebted to it only
doubles the insult.
Mrs. VIM. BarrOws su omitted
to a delicate operation last Tuesday,
performed by Drs. Rassell, Godfrey
and Kinney. The Herald is pleased
to state that she is getting along
nicely.
Miss Emma Tanner, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Tanner of this
city, Was happily married yesterday
to Mr.. Walter Frost, also of Ian
caster, the nuptials taking place at
Cassville The couple were accom-
panied byNr. Wilbur Frost, q brother
of the groom, and Miss Florence
Welsh OF this city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frost will take up their residence
here, and the Herald wishes them q
long, happy life together.
We were asked this week by a
delinquent subscriber why we kept
on sending the paper after the sub
scription date had expired. Every
weekly newspaper in towns o. this
size are forced to do this. Should
we stop subscriptions when time
expires nine times out of ten the
subscriber would give us calling
down" for insinuating that his
credit was not good. Rather than
to cast a reflection against the
honesty of a subscriber to pay a
small debt, it is next to a necessity
for home paper to continue send
ing the paper after the time has ex-
pired. 1t is not necessary for the
city dailies or weeklies to follow
this rule, as their subscribers 1--we at
a distance and are not personal
friends as is the case with a major
ity of our subscribers. Our subscrib-
ers should deem it an honor to
know that we do not doubt their
integrity and continue to send them
the paper after their time has ex-
pred. Should any desire heir
paper discontinued they should
notify us and remit TO date il they
have not already done so.

We are not given to boasting,
but we are proud of the farmer boys
of this vicinity. They are, with
rare exceptions, healthy. intelli-
gent and happy class of young men,
We feel like taking our hat clear off
when we meet them upon our
streets, and no class is more well
come to our Office. Too many boys
leave the farm, where they would
have made substantial and good cit
liens, and 60 to the city, where only
one in a thousand succeeds in life's
battle. There are farmers who fair
ly drive their boys away. There is
no excuse for this. The farmer boy
is entitled to his vacations, to seve-
raj relaxations, his visits to the city,
good books, magazines and his home
paper To the observing one it is
plain to be seen that the old farm is
the best place in the world for the
average young man, and never fails
to bring a happier and more useful
life than the city. Young men, you
who till the soil and earn your bread
by the sweat Of your brow, we are
proud of you; our latchstring is al
ways out to you, and you will al
ways have a friend in this paper.
Come and see US, and give us the
news from your ne1ghborhood.

A HOTTENTOT CHIEF
WORRIES GERMANY Y
Kalser's Southwest African Domain
Again Reported Invaded.

Berlin, Aug. 2t.-Consternation has
been caused at the colonial office by
the news that the Hottentot chief, Mo-
rengo, has recrossed the frontier of
Cape Colony into German southwest
Africa with 400 followers.
Nearly two years ago, Morengo
evaded the pursuit of the German
troops by escaping into British Bech-
uanaland. whereupon the Cape au-
thorities dlsarmed him, and assigned
him a home remote from the frontier,
where he was kept under surveillance.
Concern was caused in Berlin some
days ago bv the news that Morengo
was near the frontier, and that the
Cape police were trying to dispense
his band and send the chief back to
his home.
Morengos present strength assumes
all the greater importance since the
German forces in southwest Africa
have not for two years encountered so
large a band and 1t is feared that the
rebel chief will give them long and
tedious work in the mountainous re-
gion OF the southern part of the col
ouy.
Ii Is assumed that the work Of
bringing back the German troops from
south Africa which has been going on
for about six months, will forthwith
be discontinued.

FRANCHISE FORFEITURE
PENALTY FOR FAILURE
Company in Vain Pleads InabiI-
ity to Secure Help Which the
Court Holds Is Merely QueS-
ton of Remuneration.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 21.--Judgs
Beach in the district court today is
sued a writ of mandamus to compel
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company whose operators are on
strike to resume operations. He de-
clared that the company had duty 10
perform, and that service must be re-
sumed. He said that he would pun
lsh any one who attempted to inter-
fere with the lines, but the mere fact
that one person persuades another not
to work and no threats or force are
used, does not justify the company in
refusing to do its duty to the public,
adding that the company must oper-
ate its lines or forfeit its franchise It
was immaterial what II cost to operate
Its lines, was the reply 20 the state
ment of counsel that the company had
not succeeded in securing help. Judge
Bach said he knew the company could
get ali the assistance needed Ii satls-
factory remuneration were held out.
General Manager Murray OF the tele-
phone company said he was prepar-
ing to begin damage suits against
persons who had interfered with the
business of the company and that
more injunction suits would be filed.

Mail Clerks Peacefully Slept.

Chicago, Aug. 21-The local police
are working on a clue in connection

Cured while the train was passing

tions.
Seven sacks of registered mail were
placed on the Kansas City train leav-
ing Denver Sunday night When the
train reached Oakford, Neb., the
transfer point, two of these sacks
were missing. 1t Is said that post
office officials have all been warned
against giving out any facts in connec-
tlon with the robbery.
The Chicago police are said to be
shadowing a man known to be an in
termediary Of thieves, and to whom it
Is said susplci0usly bulky package of
registered matter was mailed from an
obscure town on the Burlington road
near Denver shortly after the rob
berry.
