A Trying Experience.

If the tariff is about to be low
cred it means a suspension of
imports until the new rate goes
into effect, and it means also a
decrease in the actual value Of
every article on hand at the time
of the change. If the tariff is
about to be raised, it means a
rush to import goods at the old
rates and alprofit to the owner on
every piece of that kind of goods
at the time of the change.
A wholesale revision of the
tariff is one of the most trying
experiences that manufacturers
and merchants can pass through,
and it is not at all surprising
that so large number of BUSH
ness men declare their preference
for the ellis they have" rather
than those that would result
from a general tariff revision.

A Fatal Accident.

Last Friday evening at about
5 o'clock John Freshman, son of
Mr.. and Mrs Con Freshman, re-
siding one mile west of Dale
church, had his skull crushed by
the exploding of an emery wheel
and was unconscious for % hours,
when death occurred.
He was engaged in sharpening
discs on an emery wheel propelled
by horse power and the wheel
had attained such high rate of
speed that it exploded, which is
not uncommon in such cases.
Several pieces of the wheel struck
him on the head and each one
with such force as to mash
through the skull to the brain.
His death occurred Saturday
evening at 9 o'clock. Funeral
services were held Monday after
noon and the remains Inferred in
the Dale cemetery.
The deceased was an exemplary
young man, who would have
been Is years of age today, held
in high esteem by everyone who
knew him and a great help to his
parents with whom all acquaint-
ances deeply sympathize.

Custer County Real Estate.

The list ofreal estate transfers.
published in the REPUBLICAN
each week, is sufficient evidence
that there is something doing in
real estate in Custer county.
And those who have followed
these publications, which was
inaugurated by the REPUBLICAN
a year ago, will notice that there
are now twice as many each week
as there were then, also that the
consideration of the transfers are
higher, per acre and for town
lots than they were a, year ago.
And the prices given are not
fictitious, but genuine values.
This is evidenced by the fact
that none of them are too high
wien the real value of Custer
county soil is considered, even
though the prices have advanced
and seem rather high, yet there
is every reason to believe prices
will still go higher as the news
of the wonderful fertility of land
in this country is spread abroad.
Recently H. Lomax sold his
home place, $40 in section Is and
80, town ID, range Fl, which is
25 miles south of Broken Bow, to
Daniel M. Bransetter, tor the
sum of $50, ZOO. 00-almost $47
per acre-and this price was
practically for land, as the build.
ings are transformations.
Last week Bert ]. Rogers SOLD
to P. H. Marley $50 acres lying
about 8 miles southwest Of Masor
City, for the sum of $4,000
nearly $35 per acre.
This week the c w. Bowman
rcal estate agency in this city
sold 4S0 acres of land in Goheer
Valley, IS miles north of Broker
Bow, belonging to c. S. Franci,
to c. e. Bates for $21, 10000
an even $45 per acre. This is
perhaps, the highest price eve
paid for land in Custer county S,
far from railroad, but is a sur
. evidence that values are on tn
upward march.

The Small Pox Hoodo.

About the first of the year sew
eral persons in the country adj
jacent to Broken Bow, broke out
with what was diagnosed and
treated as chicken pox. Later a
case of the same kind developed
in this city and was dubbed
small pox and quarantine
established.
The chicken pox patients,
however, were not restrained
from going or coming until it
was realized that they, too, were
small pox victims, but even then
there are not more than a dozen
cases here and all are now under
strict quarantine, with no new
cases this week.
The city authorities used their
perogative and ordered that nc
public meetings, sociab les, OF
lodge meetings be held until
further notice, and the school
board ordered vaccinated all pu.
pills who had not been. By the
precautions taken it is thought
there will be no more cases.
Business in the city has not
been interrupted in the least as
those not acquainted with the
facts might suppose.

Great is the debt of gratitude
due the man who makes money
IN business or profession and
spends it on farming as fad.
He is laughed alto be sure--by
the real yeomanry of his neigh
borhood as one to whom the
purpose and value of money as a
proper means to the accomplish
ment of legitimate and desirable
end are wholly unknown, but he
is none the less public bene-
factor. The money he fools
away" is no barren loss. 1t
benefits somebody, generally
several somebodies, and the
spender finds physical recuper-
alton and mental repose in play
ing" agriculturalist. Instead of
laughing at him give him the
hand of honest and sincere well
come, He may have suspicion
that farming is not exactly a
pastime, and-in any case-he is
pretty certain to put himself in
the way of neighborly sug-
gestion and sympathy.

Westerville Items.

In this vicinity.
On last Tuesday as Mr.. and Mrs. B. ]
Mills were returning from Ansley, the

frightned at Alex Moore's automobile
upsetting the wagon and dumping its

sprained ankle for Mr.. Mills. The wagon
was badly damaged and the horses some
what scratched.

who has carried mail from Ansley by

days previous, but owing to the high
wind it seemed to whip sparks from the
supposedly dead FIRE The stack was on
John Stewards farm, and the fire swept
over territory of about ,oco acres. A.
Routh had about fifty tons of hay and
stacker burned NJ. ID. Callen had
posts along the north of his farm all
burned. w, w Bishop, some hay and
posts Mr. Stewart, large stacks of hay,
J Kooler some hay, and +. b. Barber
had a very close call on losing his frame
barn, as the flames swept within two feet
of the north side. The fire got such a
start before any help arrived and after
forty men came it took long while to
eNtinguish the lpidly spreading flames.
This is heavy loss to Mr. Stewart, as
he has made a very satisfactory settle
ment to each of the losers.

Panics and Currency.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
While it is not yet settled what
caused the panic, the people are
aware it came, and that it struck
hard. Now, since some of our
most able financiers have agreed
that our present banking system
can be changed so as to prevent
a reoccurence of the humiliating
spectacle of bankers having to
refuse to honor their own paper,
or depositors lined up before a
bank begging for their money,
and it certainly Is upto our law
makers to do some clean and
wholesome legislation on that
great question, and do it now.
The people are awake on the
subject, and if it is passed over
without law protecting the de-
position, it will be but playing in
to the hands of the Demos, to
the detriment of the G. o. p.
We hear of bills and bills intro
duced in both the houses and sem
ate until the congressional waste
basket has to be enlarged, every
one riding their hobby, thus fritz
tering their time away. If they
will wake up and give us some
law so Uncle Sam will stand
sponsor for depositors, we will
sweep the country at the next
election with such a whirlwind
of republicanism as will surprise
the old Jeffersonian Demos.

1t is not the site of a town, but
its character that makes it a de-
sirable place in which to live. A
live, progressive town is a desir-
able one to live in and a town
may be small and yet be prosper
Gus and progressive. Every citi-
zen in a town should be interest
ed in its prosperity and PERSONAL

There still appears to be con-
siderable apprehension touching
the real scope and purpose of
the Sherman anti-trust-act in it's
application to corporate monopoly.
Briefly stated, the act goes far
beyond the common law in the
prevention of monopoly in that it
prohibits any and all agreements
in partial restriction of compe-
tition irrespective of their reas-
onableness and economic effects.
An amendment to the act which
would permit of reasonable re-
straint of competition, under
proper federal regulation of un-
reasonable restraint is urged as
desirable.

The decision of the Indiana
jurist who lately held that loud
snoring constitutes an unlawful

read with interest by many.
Perchance, too, it may serve as a
salutary and wholesome precedent,

that the syllabus" still leaves
room for doubt.

The receiver of a banking
house, wrecked by missmanage-
ment, has paid depositors in full
and now proposes to give them
interest on the various sums with
held from them by the institu-
TONS collapse. Already there is
talk of presenting him with a
medal, but little later the now
grateful populace will no doubt
register an emphatic protest if
the court responsible for his ap-
pointment sees fit to allow him
more than a dollar and six-bits a
day for his time and eminent
services.
