WATCH CUNNINGHAM GROW.

The strike made within the last few days west of the Lalleview. as told in Saturdays Nugget will result in the establishment of a settlement in that section which will probably rival the settlement which extends along the third beach line Immediately west of Little creek.
 It is not at all improbable that hun dreds of men will be employed there before the coming of the boats next spring and that it will be the principal point of interest to the returning thou sands.
 The new strike, as told, is half a mile west of the point at which the work is being done on the Lakeview. and immediately to the east is the Humboldt.
 These facts show that it is safe to say that the paystreak has now been uncovered for distance of one mile. and that means quite great deal but Nu'll tHt tplltlliudilbll bl llt luiIu beach line has been found of such a length at a point so remote from where it was operated before one can safely conclude that there are still greater discoveries to be made between the two parts as we'll as east and west of them.
 News also comes that pay has been struck at Hastings and it is accepted almost as a positive fact that pay has been found towards Penny river Should the places be combinations of the third beach the result on the for tunes of Seward peninsula can be bet ter imagined than described.

comfortable margin and make another hish-value record.
 The Orange Judd Farmer now comes forward with the striking statement that while the crops of this year will be about 10 per cent lighter in measur- ed quantity than in 1906, they will fully equal the average yields for five years prior to 1906. while the money that the
 ding stables will bring will run to some s5OOOOO,OOO in excess of last year.
 "The farmer" the summary says, twas never in so healthy a position financially, socially. politically and spiritually, as he is today. He owes less than eyer before and has greater assets"
 This sounds good. So long as the farmers owe less and have the greater whereUith to pay their debts, it will be pretty hard to check the undercur- rent of prosperity that is flowing along. despite the appearance in eastern tin- aucial ceutoIs of some surface currents that .cnd the other way.

THE BASIS OF CONFIDENCE.

On or about December 10 in every year the government issues a report covering the principal farm crops and the values thereof, and we are thus enabled to know how much new agri- cultural wealth has been produced and how much money the farmers have re- ceived comparatively. But there are private authorities who run in ahead of the government with estimates which, while they do not claim infalli- bility get close to a fair approxima- tion of the whole. and such estimates are now beginning to appear.
 The Manufacturers Record has figured it out that despite certain losses in wheat and the promise of a corn crop somewhat smaller than last year the crops are going to be worth ST. 0OOOOO,OOO. In 1906 they were worth $6.794 ,OO0,0O0 and in 19O5 S6,415,0O0,- 0O0 On the basis of that calculation we are going to beat last year by a

VILLAGE VANITY.

Superiority in some line or another over the other natives of a village or small city leads men to destruction oft ener than some of the other vices one reads about in good books.
 IL w. uld be almost better for prom. i-ihg youth hard as it is to say SO to fling restraint to the winds anu smoke cigarets than to have a poem published in the local newspaper
 Better that a boy had a chronic stut- ter than to get it into his head that the oratorical flights he indulged iii at the debating clubs meetings would raise his name to Olympian heights were his audience only composed of the great ones of the earth who alone could penetrate the abysmal depth of his genius.
 Many a lad, who was regarded by village critics as another Poe, has floated away into the city with the idea of asking for job as editor of some magazine or another, and has finally accepted gladly position as cub reporter at S5 a week.
 It is the same in all other matters. Life in isolated communities tends to magnify man and his acts in his own estimation. and little success looks like a great triumph.
 It was such a thought made Julius | Caesar express his preference for the first place in village to the second place in Rome.
 Of course, this exaggerated idea about oneself only hurts the one who entertains it. Very often, indeed, it leads to success.
 The success of many of the great numbers of provincials who have climbed the ladder of fame has been due to the fact that their village su- periority led them to believe themselves really superior and they persevered in the practice which finally made them perfect in their chosen work. In large cities boys quickly learn their places. They see thousands of others equally talented all around them. and they perceive at once that hard work alone can give them a lead.
 Of course, this does not apply ex- clusively to school boys. There are grOwn-ups who often could remember with profit that the biggest river steamer might look small near fleet of ocean liners.

from the lantern was signaled to go
ahead; an easier feeling took pos
session of Joe after his brother left
the engine, still the rain was pouring
down as if the floodgates of heaven

passed and the whistle was sounding

penetrating the driving rain and the
oppressive darkness; Prairie City was
left in the dark, and only four miles
to Bushnell; the "Macomb" was being
tested as to her merits of speed, and
was acting like restless spirited race

der urging of her driver. Joe was
holding her in perfect control with his
hand ever upon the lever and throt-
tie.
Three miles from Bushnell is Kepple

blackness of the night made angry
from the unceasing rain; only a few
yards from the engine did the head
light penetrate, and as the light
flashed upon the bridge a whistle for
brakes vas sounded; 1t was too late;
in another instant the treacherous
bridge was reached and the engine
went plunging into the chasm 20 feet
below.
Van Netta's body was found in the
wreck completely cut in two, his left

1t was in the spring of '5S that a

Galesburg at 2:30 a. m. and arrive
in Quincy at $50 a. M, stopping only
at Abingdon, Macomb and Augusta;
IL On
an hour then seemed faster than 70

The night in question was porten-
tcus of evil: the rain was pouring in
torrents. and the inky blackness of the
night only made the headlight shine
with greater brilliancy, the thunder
was lnulfled at times like the roar
of an angry animal, the lightnings
flashed at frequent intervals and were
binding in effect.
1t was Van Netta's run and he
left call for AS and went to his
room about nine o'clock thinking to
get as much sleep as the few hours
would allow. After tossing restlessly
for some time he fell into a dis
turbcd slumber; how long he slept
was uncertain he woke with a start
and feelings terribly agitated He
had had a vision of an accident, in
which his youngest brother was hor-
ribly mangled: he tried to dispel the
fear, but it was useless; he got up
and dressed, looked at his watch and
saw it was 1890, too near his call
to so back to bed, and started for his
train; reaching the depot, he told his
strange dream, or vision, and said:
IF it was not endangering another's
life | would not go out on my run
The train from Chicago was pull
ing into the station and there was the
usual turmoil and confusion in chang
ing cars; the train on the Northern
Cross was standing on the main track,
ready to pull out on schedule time;
Van Meta was just coming from the
opposite side of his engine, oiler in
hand when Conductor Goodrich
called "All aboard" and gave the sig
nal with his lantern to leave. AS Joe
stepped into the cab, some one
touched him on the shoulder and
greeted him with familiar voice He
turned around and confronted his
youngest brother who had just arrived
from the east. He was speechless,
and it was a minute before he was
convinced it was not an apparition;

was in motion; it was ten miles to

The National Life.

The Springfield Republican comments
at length editorially on the excellent show
ing made by the National Life insurance
company Of Montpelier in its report for
the year 1906, which was a crucial year
for so many of the larger companies A
fact especially noted by the Republican
is that the National Life. with its assets
which have now grown to $375O0. .O00
made a net addition Of nearly $1,000. 900
to its insurance in force during the year
and reduced its expenses by some $50, 600
I'm spite Of an increase in it's business all
along the lne-and il is the expense item
that the public are carefully watching
after the disclosures Of the past two
years. Says the Republican: Another
noteworthy feature of the National Lies
report, is that the mortality experience
of the company during last year was only
COS per cent Of that expected from the
American experience table The Massa-
chusetts Mutuals ratio of death losses
to those indicated by the table was 70
per cent. for the same year Both are
old companies, but the smaller ratio Of
the Vermont company is probably due to
the fact that it has been enjoying large
relative growth Of recent years on care

a compliment as could well be paid to
the careful management Of our Vermont
company.

Albert Stead, editor of Review Of Re
views, is of the opinion that an i'm
portant and forgotten factor in creating
popular sentiment in favor of public
ownership of railroads is the present
complete breaking down of efficiency
in the actual business of transportation"
under private ownership. He speaks of
this as due to the greater devotion of the
railroad interest to its own profit than to
public considerations and refers to "a
small and select population of pluto
Gratis who control our railroads and have
somehow managed to put into their
private pockets some hundreds or thou
sands of millions of dollars through their
ability to skim the cream OFF the country's
prosperity" while the actual business of
transportation has been allowed to fall
into comparative neglect. The recent
revelations before the interstate COM
merce commission of the control of over
26,OOO miles of railroad by one man, and
his method to use the earnings of the
roads now at his command 10 acquire a
controlling interest in still other lines has
raised the question whether 1t wouldn't
be as well to have the railroads run
by the government as 10 have them
under the domination of a few men.
