IL Appeal for White Spouse Farmer
Several Months Ago


That the men Of the eastern states
are still deeply interested in the adj
vertisement sent out short time ago
by several Indian maidens Of the Co.
manehe tribe seeking husbands, is ev-
idenced BY second letter received by
Postmaster Rose Of this city from
r. D. Wilson Of Manitou, Ohio, who
asked to be placed in correspondence
with several of the girls. The let
ter itself speaks Of a heart-sore man
who is longing for the companionship
Of a dear little wife, being written on
flowery paper and j. aighly perfum-
ed While the drift of the letter In
dieates that Wilson is not familiar
with the conditions in the territory,
it shows without a doubt that he is in
earnest Thinking that there might
be some forlorn maid who would be
glad to receive such a brilliant ot-
fer, the letter from Wilson is given
as follows;
"To the Indian Maidens Of Indian Ter
ritory:
Seeing your ad in the paper that
you was wanting to marry white
man that could farm, j thought
would rite to you did not know your
address but / hop this viii reach you

would ask YOU to anser il and give
me your address and one Of your pic

girls Of the territory, It IS evieen
that he intends to make Mormon .

among the Indian girls Of the Go

The authorities Of this city are
worked up over what is thought to
have been an attempt to blow up the
Rosenquest meat market and Mar
ney confectionery store on the corner
of 4th. and Chiekasha. A young boy
of this city was found walking along
the street with stick Of dynamite in
his hand scratching it along side
Of the building Investigation show
ed that the boy had thoughtlessly TAX
en- it from under a board in the mar
row passage way that divides the two
establishments. The fuse had not
been lighted nor had there been a cap
attached to the stick. That the dyna-
mite had been placed there is a GER
tainty.
The dynamite was placed in the
hanls Of Chief Of Police Miller and
his assistants who are now conduct
ing the investigation. AT present
they are rather at sea in regard To
the matter and can give no plausible
idea as to why dynamite was put

advantages for certain lines of manu-.
facture or commerce. There Is little
prospects for over-production as the
population OF the country is increas-
ing at an enormous rate, and new mar.
kets are being opened continually In
foreign countries for American prod

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on bust

THRIFT AND ECONOMY.
Right Thinking Necessary to Great.
est Success In Every Field Of
Endeavor.

Economy is one of the essentials to
success. It matters not how great
ones earnings may be, If there is no
pennies laid by, there will be no
counting Of dollars to your credit
From childhood children should be
taught lessons of thrift, and the value
of saving. There is difference be-
tween economy and stinginess. There
is an excess which defeats the aim
and is the cause of loss and misery.
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop.
erly house his stock during the win.
ter, is paradoxical. 1t Is saving OF
dollars and the loss Of dollars by the
saving. That so-called economy
which prevents the consuming of fuel
In winter, which results In cold
house and sickness in the family, and
perhaps a death, Is niggardly stingi
ness. which Is criminal. 1t Is the saw
Ing Of few dollars in the coal bill
and paying perhaps a hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaken There
is no economy in cheap things gen
orally. A bit Of machinery that is
needed about the farm should be the
best. A cheap, poor moving machine
from some mail order house may
break down when it is needed the
most, and a result is the loss of tons
Of hay several times the value Of 8
good machine. Poor articles wear Out
rapidly, and are likely to give out
at time when most needed, and are
continual source of expense. A poor
breed Of stock is another illustration
Poor, bony horses eat more than well
bred ones, and the latter always find o
ready sale, while the rawbones cannot
be disposed of at any price. The same
with hogs, sheep, and all classes OF
domestic stock. A poor lot of ami.
mails should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
1t is poor economy to keep them.
1t is in looking after the saving OF
a penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that is the trou
BILE with many. Savages have nc
idea of economy. They cannot fore
go small pleasure for greater one
a little farther off. It is the ability
to think out these matters that makes
the civilized man superior to the bar
harlan. Think! Don't get tired Of
using the reasoning brain that a goce
Providence has given you. The
secret of knowledge is In thinking, and
the power to make comparison. One
of the drawbacks of many schools il
the teaching. the examining of rules
and facts without combining with
them the Importance of cause and eff
feet. Teach one to think, and he will
soon be person Of no mean knowl
edge. It is the thinker who wins in
life, and on the farm, in the workshop
in the store, anywhere and every
where, where brains are needed, you
will find 1t is the active, keen ant
careful thinker who FORCES to the
| front.

The Spear Brothers mill. at the corner
of Battery and Bank streets was visited
by fire early Saturday evening and n
loss, estimated al between 5000 and &c..
000. was entailed before the fire was sub
dued about three hours later. The main
part Of the MILL where most of the
machinery and finished stock was located
was destroyed and the engine and boilers
were also badly damaged. The finished
goods Included some of the interior fur
nishing for the new Champlain Trust
company at Winooski and a large number
of window and door sashes consigned to
Plattsburgh. The building. machinery and
finished stock were all insured and II is
thought by the owners OF the property
that the insurance will cover all losses
The alarm was run IN at 645 o'clock
from box 45 and within a few minutes
after the alarm sounded the firemen had
six streams of water playing on the FIRE.
The interior woodwork finished goods.
loose shavings and savrdust were burnin q
f1ercely when the department arrived and
after the first stream Of water WIS turned
on an immense volume Of thick, black
smoke poured out OF the windows and
doors making residents on the hin think
that one of the lumber yards was on fire.
The fire was hard one to fight because
of tho quantity of wood and shavinGH
scattered throughout the structure but
within a short time the blaze was eX-
tnguished TO such an extent that lines
of hose were carried inside the buildn e
and firemen were able to inspect the roof.
The fire originated In the boiler room
after the owners and employers had
finished work and gone home.
The usual crowd Of men. women and
children We're hand Immediately after
the alarm sounded and many of them
received severe duckings from streams of
water that were forced through tho
street windows from hose lines on the
opposite side of the building.
At five o'clock yesterday morning the
men from station I were summoned to
the mill again by still alarm, but no
fire was found
Immediately after the losses are adjusted
by the insurance companies the owners
will begin TO repair the building and
machinery and will resume work on their
orders The building and stock are in
eured in the agencies Of Hickok & Hirkok,
T. S. Peck and NJ. L. Powell.
