OUTLOOK CHEERFUL
Continued from page o.

many parts Of the country. the major
ity ARE notieeably from manufacturing
centers. the Pittsburg region being per-
haps the heaviest contributor. A curious
development OF the situation Is found In
the fact that while first and second class
cabin rates. to Europe have been cut.
steerage rates are being advanced. While
the outflow Of cash in the hands Of these
departing foreigners II disadvantage
II the present money situation. II Ia
pointed out By careful observers that
their departure Is on the whole good
thing as IL tends TO relieve the labor and
industrial situations.
The leasing Of space 81 fy . feet, TO-
bc used as cigar stand. at an annual
rental Of $40 per square foot, has not
only established high rent record for
New York and consequently the whole
world. but has officially located, as it
were. the choicest bit Of space on earth
for business purpose. The plot, hardly
as large rs good sized room, which
commands an annual rental OF S7560, Is
located in the new Hudson Terminal,
where il is estimated that more than
half million commuters will pass every
day. In spite OF this tremendous crowd
to draw on for patronage, the enormous
rent to be paid for this costliest plot
in the world will necessitate a business
on the part OF the little 0 by 81 cigar
stand which will occupy it, equal in
volume to that of many a large store.
II Is estimated by experts that 250,000
two for quarter cigars or 625.00o five.
cent smokes. will have to be disposed OF |
before any profit can be made, or at the
rate on the latter basis OF 1000 cigars
daily. High as the rent to be paid in
this instance may seem, there are other
plots which command amazing prices.
Throughout the new station the prices
of space for booths range from SIS to
$50 square foot annually, while stores
20 by 60 feet will bring about Sl2
square foot in rentals. One ambitious
bootblack viii pay $4,000 annually for
a space 10 feet by feet, although this
is said to be no higher than a price once
paid for a similar purpose in one OF the
big life insurance buildings.

WOMAN CAN KEEP A SECRET
Girl stenographers Are Noted for
Their Silence Pertaining to
Many Business Secrets.

Kansas City Star: Not long ago
a Kansas City stenographer learned
that the railroad for which she was
working had determined to extend
its line. She had a friend living in
a town through which the line was
to run. A letter to him with her
savings would have enabled him to
buy at a low price the land the road
needed, and, the peculiar nature of
the ground in that neighborhood
would have enabled him to sell at a
great profit. 1t would have been a
business o on the part of the
girl, but she would gain her money
by the betrayal of the confidence of
her employers She did not consider
the thing more than a minute and
then decided that it would be a dis
honorable thing to do.
Another stenographer in a large
real estate Office became aware of a
deal in which s15O,O0O was involved.
Certain information she possessed
would be worth thousands to the
other parties. They made a few adj
vances and limited at rewards as high
as $4,000 for her betrayal of her
firm. She Indignantly refused and
told her employers of the scheme.
1t eve entered the mind of that
young woman to betray her trust.
Another stenographer was offered

Mitchell, s. ID.

Dear Sir: If it took 10 gallons to
paint your house last time with
somebody else's paint, and takes 8
with Devoe, we save you So or $40;
for painting costs two or three times
as much as paint.
Mr. Ezra Rathmell, Williamsport,
Pa, always used IL gallons of mixed
paint for his house; Devoe took 6.
But that isn't all; that's Only first
cost; how long will it wear?
The paint, that goes furthest in
covering, wear best too.
All paint, true paint, and full
measure, are on one side; part paint,
false paint, and short-measure are
on the other. What can you expect?
Yours truly

MORGAN DID NOT ELoPE
William Morgan Declares That He
Did Not Elope with Mrs. Nick
Meier as Published.

Some three or four weeks ago
The Republican had an item in it's
columns stating that early in March
William Morgan and Mrs. Nick
Meters, who resided on a farm in
Sanborn county, about 10 miles
north of Mitchell, had driven to this
city and eloped. The information
was given us by a neighbor living
within a mile or two of the Meters
residence, and claimed that it was
the absolute truth, and on his state
ment of the situation the item was
given prominence in u columns.
William Morgan returned to
Mitchell Wednesday evening, and
called on The Republican this norm
ing to make a denial of the state
ment that he had eloped with Mrs.
Meier. He stated that on the morn
ing she left home that he drove into
town with her, and they went at
once to the Office of Preston & Han
nett, where she started proceedings
for a divorce from her husband and
that he signed some of the papers in
the case. He declared that after
that had been accomplished he did
not see the woman again, has not
seen her since nor has not known at
any time where the I'M was To-
Gated. Mr.. Morgan, previous to
March, was working for Nick Meters
during the winter in erecting a new
house on his farm. He came to town
and called OF his physician, DR..
Crane, for treatment, and Morgan
stated that DR.. Crane informed him
that he would have to quit work at
once, or there was a strong proba-
bility that he would have appendi-
citis. Taking the advice of his ply
sician he gave up the work he was
engaged on and went to the home of
his brother at Anita, Iowa, where he
claims he has remained most of the
time since, going to other places oc-
casionally. Morgan and Mrs. Meters
came to Mitchell on Monday, March
3, and Mr.. Morgan states that he left
for Iowa on the following Tuesday
morning.

S 1000 for copies Of three letters

$1,000 for copies Of three letters
which she had written. A law suit
in which her employers were in
volved might have gone against them
had the opposing party been able to
the information contained in
the three letters. The lawyer for the
other side laid ten 500 bills on her
mothers table and told her they
were hers for the permission to read
the letters. The girl scorned the
offer as an attempt to bride her to
do a dishonorable and dishonest act,
and she never even told her employ
ers about it.

The farmers Of Dawson county do
not want to forget to test their seed
corn thoroughly before it goes into
the ground. There has been sufi-
cient discussion of the poor seed
proposition to raise an alarm on ev-
cry farm in the county to secure
proper seed, and at the husking time
the farmer who has tested his seed
can smile complacently at heineigh-
Dor who failed to observe the pre-
cautions Of the present day. Corn
planting is not SO very far away and
the idea OF testing should be kept in
mind and do it-if you have not al
ready done 80.
The Boston Tribune devotes about
I'VE pages to reading clear the title
of Thomas w. Lawson, and after the
editor of that paper gets through
with Mr.. Lawson through those
pages he has, from his point Of view,
showed up, Mr.. Lawson in very bad
shape. Lawson is accused of being
"a wrecker, stock gambler, a
sophist, an arch-manipulator, who
stops at nothing, lying, deceit, du-
plicity, %chicanery. even fraud to sa-
tiate his greed for money" This til
rade Is brought forth, by G. F. King,
who, aside from conducting a tinan-
cial paper, is engaged. in mining
business and some of his companies
were attacked by Lawson-hence
the defence. He gives Lawson the
privilege Of suing for libel or keep
ing quiet and taking the medicine
he has given others.
