The Care of Goldfish.

The secret of success in caring for
goldfish is to keep the water they are
In fresh and sweet. Their globe
should be emptied and its water re-
newed as often as every second day.
Lift each fish out gently in glassful
OF water. empty the globe, wash 1t
again. Clear, sweet rainwater should
be used and its temperature should
be raised to rs or 80 degrees by warm
ing part of It, Sparkling well water
is too cold for the fish to thrive in,
and too pure, for the animalculae of
rainwater forms an important part OF
the food OF these fish. They need no
other sustenance than very few
bread crumbs sprinkled in their water
daily. for overlooking will kill them
very quickly.-The Housekeeper.

Since 1865 the general material de
velopment of the country has been
such as to transcend all ordinary hui
man understanding.
Vast new mining fields have been
opened. whole areas of coal deposits.
many OF them entirely unsupported,
have been found and developed since
1865. The enormously valuable depos-
its OF copper in Montana have all been
discovered and developed since 1866.
Michigan's. though known before then,
have also been mainly developed in
side of 40 years. So have the great
iron deposits of Michigan. the zinc
deposits OF Missouri and countless beds
of mineral wealth OF all sorts in the
south and In the almost boundless
Mississippi regions.
Secretary Seward knew that there
was almost fabulous treasure under
the surface of what was called Rus
sian America when he bought It from
the cars government, but the gold
and silver and other mineral wealth
of Alaska has practically all been
found and developed within the last
ten years. In 40 years the addition
from mineral sources alone to the
wealth OF the country has amounted
to billions on the back OF billions.
Petroleum was discovered before
1865. and the development of territory
which yielded II was begun 40 years
ago, but by far the greater part of that
development has been accomplished
since then.
Along with all these things the
area of cultivated land has been In
creased so that the wheat and corn
and cotton and other crops OF the pres
eDt are enormously vaster than they
were in 1865 Manufactures of all
sorts have increased enormously also.
the total for 1865 being worth rather
more than two billions of dollars; this
year the total value of our manufac-
lures will not be far from fifteen bill
lions of dollars. roughly estimating the
figures from the census of 1900
Stimulated by the extension and de-
velopment of the railroads, and In
turn stimulating their development, init
mately interlocked and interdependent
with the growth of mining, agriculture
and manufacturing, there has been an
unbelievable growth of cities and
towns.
And, as Uncle Sam. after a right

contemplates the tremendous advance
his settlements have made he may
also dwell in thought upon the fact
that the total OF the country's popula-
ton has grown from about 81, 500. 900
in 1865, to more than 100000 in
1908.
Now these material good things are
all well worth being grateful for: no
other people on the green earth have
SO many reasons OF the sort for thank
fulness as the Americans.

Will WHICH even BOOu-
natured person can find fault, But a
cursory contrast of the condition of
the country as 1t was then and as it
is now shows vast general improve
ment.
To begin with, Thanksgiving day.
1865, found the country as yet prac-
tically unaddressed to the problem of
getting over the frightful struggle
that had rent and torn and well-nigh
disrupted IT, Not only were the
wounds OF sectional ill-feelng still
open and unhealed, but most of the in
dustries of one great section were still
practically Frustrated.
The readjustment of the countrys
business, difficult always after great
because of the enormous imitation to
which the currency had been subject
ed, was yet to be undertaken
Most important agencies In the new
and stronger union which has come to
the United States since 1865 have been
furnished by the tremendously i'm
proved means of communication and
day as matter of course To the
younger generation 1t seems like an in
stitution that has always existed, with
out which, no matter how much fault
may be found with its rates, the bust
ness of the country could not well go
on. But while there were about so 900
miles of railroad in 1865, there are
TO
day, or about $4,000, more than seven
miles for every 100 square miles OF
territory.
Then, as the old heads remember
very well, there was no steel highway
linking the coast of the Atlantic with
the coast of the Pacific Then there
were three ways by which one wish
ing to travel from New York or Bos-
ton or Washington, to San Francisco
or Portland, could do so: Overland by
a combination of rail to the Missis-
sippi, and stage coach and horseback
westward from the river. journey re-
curing many days; by steamer or
sailing ship around the Horn, voy
age of months; or by steamer to the
Darien, them across on the Panama
railroad. and thence by steamer again
up the coast to San Francisco.
IL cost several hundred dollars to
get from one side of the country TO
the other, then. Now. at the lowest
rate, you may travel from one ocean
to the other for $50; the highest rate,
unless you wish 10 go on a private or
special cara yeritable palace on
wheels--is $115.75. This includes sep
ing car, birth and meals.

A. Pioneer Gone.

One of the early settlers Of Barton /
county crossed the dark river about
one O'Clock Sunday morning when Lo-
renzo Seeber closed his eyes in the
last long sleep which comes to all.
His demise was unexpected, although
for several years he had been in fai.
ing health. Mr.. Seeber was born in
Cayuga county. New York, on March
3, 1887, and was at the time of his
death, Il years, s months, and IL
days Of age. He was one of a family
of II children, of which two sisters
survive him. In 1856 he moved to II
inOis with his parents, and at the out
break Of the civil war he enlisted in
Co. c., 10th Ills. infantry, in which
he served honorably throughout the
war.
At the close of the struggle he re-
turned to Illinois and on January 2,
was married to Miss Levina Arnold,
who, with two children, Frank Seeber
and Mrs. Frank Butler, both residing
IN Clarence township, survive him.
When first married he settled on a
farm in Illinois, A. NJ. Button settled
on the same section, and later the
two families moved to this county,
both again settling on the same Sec
ton When in the early nineties Mr..
Button passed away, and his widow
moved to town, the Seebers also NOV
ed IN, settling on the same block and
there they have resided since then.
The bond of friendship between these
two families was certainly lasting
one.
Mr.. Seeber was a very quiet MAJ
thoroughly reliable, and one who also
had cheerful word for any one. HI
had many friends, and will be greatly
missed from the various places wher
ne was wont to spend his leisure time
He always led a christian life, was
an honored member of the G. A. R.,
and affiliated with the Methodist
church. The funeral services were
conducted from the church Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. Selle officiating, with
the Grand Army acting as a guard
OF honor. The many friends of tht
family join with us in extending
to the bereaved widow and children
Our sincere sympathy, and in laying
away the tired body of this pionee,
citizen of two states, we should
reflect for a moment as to how
great is the debt of gratitude the
present generation owes to men like
Mr.. Seeber.-A debt that we can
never fully repay.

good deal of joke. But the biggest
joke is on Ed S. Waterbury of EN-

for this ticket in Lyon county, MIR.
Waterbury's county and that was not

registers from Emporia and this vote
was cast in country precinct.
When W. R. Hearst, the head and

his ticket developments are lookedfo:
But this is not the only amusing thing
In connection with the independence
ticket in Kansas. Jas. A. Cdmpbe.i,
one of the presidential electors naEi'
ed on the ticket did not vote the
Independence ticket. He also lives
Emporia.
In Graham county there were orig
tnally four candidates for state offic-
es.. One of them withdrew, leaving
three and not a single vote was cast
for the ticket in that county.
In Leavenworth county there were
nearly 1900 signres to the petition
circulated by Mr.. Waterbury in order
to get the ticket on the ballot. Yet
at the election there were only two
votes cast for that ticket in the
county.
In Wyandotte county the petition
asking that the ticket be placed on
the ballot had about 1900 signers and
seven was the greatest vote given by
that county to any of the candidates.
1t is not known what the total
O vote for the Independence ticket at
the recent election was, but it is
known tGat the extra expense entailed
by the printing of the tickets was all
out of proportion to the number of
voters. In Clay county there was

due to the printing of the Indepen-

than dollar for each vote polled.

any kind of petition, but that when
