Mr.. Golden had a conference with his

II think there win not be any question
but that my brother will be cleared OF this

a little hayward. not one Of us has ever
been accused OF a crime up to this time.

The first part Of the government troops
will arrive in Omaha Thursday for p~artici-
patton in the fall festivities and will go
into camp at Fort Omaha The infantry
will arrive first. as that branch Of the
service will come by train, while the cav
airy marches overland.
The board of governors Of Ak-Sar-Ben
returned Friday from Des Moines, where
they witnessed the maneuvers Of the troops
at the military tournament which has been
in progress at Des Moines all week.
These troops are all coming to omaha
and II will be the greatest military tour
nament the people Of Omaha and the sur
rounding country have ever had an OPP
p%ortunity TO Witness" said II. J. Penfold,
secretary Of the board of governors. while
there were but about 5000 troops It looked
to the uninitiated as though there were
1900.
1T will be most instructive for the peo-
Pile to see how Uncle Sam takes care Of
his soldiers, how he feeds and clothes
them. It is wonderfully interesting. The
people are invited to visit the camps and
guides are furnished for visitors.
AN exhibi is made Of the ovens which
were used for baking bread at the time of
the civil war and there are also up-to-date
ovens which will bake 5000 loaves Of bread
in a day. They also bake pies and dough
nuts and the board Of governors had some
OF these to eat.
Omaha is also fortunate in securing the
large hospital corps which was at Des
Moines. At first we thought we were not
to have this part of the service, but Gen
eral Morton has ordered all to come. A drill
is given, showing the work OF first aid
to the injured.
THE board OF governors is alive to the
fact that we want to have the encamp-
ment at Omaha in 1910 and will use every
means to secure It. AS an instructive
feature Of our fall festival It could not
be surpassed"

Mrs. Carrie Nation passed through
Rich Hill Monday afternoon, enroute
to her home at Alpena Pass, from
Warrensburg, where she spoke at
the Chautauqua.
In short interview with Review
reporter, Mrs. Nation stated that she
had noticed several ''hell-holes and
criminal factories" in our beautiful
city. 81 could not be induced to live
in such a place. You should" she
continued make Rich Hill as attrac-
tive place morally as it appears to
be physically; then people would be
attracted here, knowing that their
children would not be exposed to
places of inquiry, such as the saloon"
Before proceeding on her journey
Mrs. Nation presented the reporter
with one of her pearl and gold SOU
venir stickpins in the shape of a
Ratchet, which she still uses as her
emblem, although the "home-defend-
err no longer yields the real article
in destroying the paraphernalia of the
thirst-parlor.

A Forgotten Law.

Increasing use of autos has brought
to light forgotten or unknown Sec
ton of state law, with reference to
providing signboards on public high
ways, by road overseers, and provid-
ing fine of not less than S. or more
than $40 for failure to comply with
the law. The law is found in Section
1863, Article 2, Revised Statutes Of
1899. Missouri has a bad reputation
in the matter of confusing country
roads, and an almost utter lack Of
signboards, though the law makes
ample provision for them. Our road
overseers ought to look up this law
and prevent possible trouble arising
from complaints on this score. elias

Bates Co. Normal Club.

The students from Bates county
held their annual weekly meeting last
Friday afternoon. About twenty-five
were present. The name of Supt
Allison was added to the list of men,
berS, making a total enrolment of
fifty, which is ahead of all other
counties except johnson.
Supt. Allison in an interesting talk
told of his plans for the meeting
which will be held in Butler the lat
ter part of August. AT this meeting
all teachers and members of school
boards of Bates county are required
by law to be present The purpose
of this meeting is to acquaint the
teachers and school boards of the
county with the Superintendent
plans for the work of the coming
year. Mr. Allison is making every
effort to arrange a program that will
be helpful in starting the school work
off TO the best advantage. Every
patron should attend at least a part of
the time and learn what the teachers
are trying to do for you, and what
they will expect of you in the way of
assistance.
Prof. Allison is taking work in the
Normal that will prepare him to more
effectively carry on his work of SUI
pervising the Bates county schools
the coming year.
The "Round Table" led by Prof.
p. g. Buckles was very interesting to
all. The subject; What Preparation
Should the Teacher Make for the
First Day of School," was discussed
and many helpful suggestions-es-
pecially to beginning teachers-were
given. The teacher going into a
strange neighborhood confronts many
difficulties, and it is very essential
that everything start right. S. f. S.

A foolishly sensational and meant
to be funny dispatch was sent out to
the metropolitan dailies from Butler
during the high waters telling about
some one catching fish in his house.
This seemed to touch the funny bone
of number Of editors in different
states, who enlarged upon it, until it
now appears to parties unacquainted
with our high altitude and healthful
location, that Butler is fishing pond
during high water. Cartoonists are
caricaturing us in ridiculous attitudes.
This gives our beautiful little city a
lot of undesirable advertising, which
is entirely undeserved, the damage
of which can hardly be estimated.
The party who sent out the dispatch
probably received as much as so cents
for it. The Times would caution
home correspondents against sending
out the class Of matter, detrimental
to our city and county, even if il
does make a readable notice. The
reputation Of a city or community i:
as sacred as that of an individual anC
should be so regarded.

o'clock Saturday night in a washout,
caused the death of six persons, in

the baggage master, who was also
the express agent, an infant child and
two negroes, laborers. Twenty-nine
persons were so badly hurt that they
were treated in the German Hospital

Fly a Public Enemy.
Philadelphia Ledger.

bcukei'
If it be true-and there is no rea-
son to doubt the oft-repeated dictum
of physicians and sanitarians- that
the fly is the barometer of the filth
of the community" the first duty is
the cultivation of clearly habits, both
in the community at large and in the
domestic domain. Experience has
shown that an immediate reduction
of the number of flies has followed
the cleaning up of rubbish heaps, the
removal of manure piles, and the
adoption of sanitary methods in
stables and other places where organ
ic filth is liable to accumulate. The
protection of the fly from infection in
turn requires the screening of sick.
rooms and scrupulous care in the dis.
posal Of wastes of every character.
Finally, the protection of man against
the fly calls for the same strict
screening of houses and the rigid en-
forcement of precautions against the
access Of flies to food supplies,
whether in the house or in the mar
ket.
Some or all of the precautions will
be neglected or secuted by the care
less and the indifferent, but with the
wider spread of accurate knowledge
of the part which the fly actually
plays in the dissemination OF disease
the public should be willing to enlis
with greater unanimity in the cam
paign planned by health authorities
in this and other cities.

Missouri has the only persimmon
farm in the world. II is in Jackson
county and is owned by j. c. Evans,
a veteran horticulturist. Seven or
eight years ago Mr.. Evans, after
years of trial, succeeded in producing
from a large tree on his farm new
persimmon which he names the Mill
er, after Samuel Miller, first presi-
dent of the horticultural society.
This persimmon is twice as large as
the wild variety and sweeter than the
most delicious japanese persimmon.
There are 200 trees in Evans per.

REPUBLICAN POLICY
OF PROTECTION

1t is given out from headquarters
that President Taft will sign and de-
fend the bill the conference COM
mittee decides upon. The President
also strongly intimated that he re-
CARDS the attitude of the progressive
Republicans as hostile to the Re-
publican policy of protection" Of
course. Those who hoped for relief
from oppressive tax burdens through
Taft were very credulous, to say the
least He would have been pleased
if his party leaders had seen fit to re-
wise the tariff downward and thereby
keep faith with its prediction prom
Uses, but Mr. Taft is two good natur-
ed and loves his ease too much to
hold out against those leaders who
mould the party policies, always with
a view of helping the monied inter-
eStS against the consumers, the great
body of the people. The cry before
the election was that while the time
had come when the tariff needs re-
vision, 1T should be revised by its
friends. Democrats tried to show
that the friends of the high protective
system were the beneficiaries and
that they would never consent to take
money0ut of their own pockets, or
prevent it from flowing into the coff-
erS of the trust, the stock of which is
held by them. But the most skep-
teal Democrat did not believe they
would revise it upwards, would fur
Their increase the burdens of the tax
payers and while thus sucking the
life blood, fan the wound with that
seductive sophiStry 'The Republican
Policy of Protection must be main
tanned. "
OF course Mr.. Taft will sign any
tariff bin that MeSsrS Aldrich, Can
non, Payne e. Co, succeed in forcing
through congress, and Republican
consumers must pay their increased
taxes and throw high in air their
ready caps for the privilege to do so,
because the trusts pay campaign eX-
penses and the people be damned.
The tariff bill as it finally comes to
the President will be sugar coated for
the public benefit. The rates and
figures will be transposed and stirred
and muddied until the ordinary citi-
zen cannot make heads or tails,
but like the drummer's expense ac-
count, the protection" will be there,
all the same and higher than was
ever known in this country or even
dreamed possible. The extreme
partisans will swallow the pill and
declare it is good, but what will
the sober-thinking, clear-headed citi-
zen, who looks deeper than the sur
face and regards his own interests
and the interests of his neighbors, do?
Will he continue to vote for Wall
Street and the trusts and monied in
terests, or will he vote for his own
and his family's interests, We shall
see.

Disgust i'm the Middle West.

Nobody need doubt the news sent
by The Republics Washington cor
respondent that the Aldrich Senator'S
greatly deplore the latest assault
made by Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
upon the Payne-Aldrich scheme Of
tariff taxation. There is no sort Of
doubt that Cummins' statement will
aggravate the feeling of disgust the
bill has awakened in the Middle West
Though orthodox on the Republ-
can doctrine of protection, Cummins
draws the line between tariff for pro-
lection and tariff for robbery. The
line has not been more sharply drawn
than it is made in the statement he
has just given to the public. The
cutting edge of it is that the Iowa
Senator voices with precision the
sentiments of four-fifths of the Re-
publicans of his own State and of the
Solid Northwest and Middle West.
They cannot see, any more than he
can, why monopoly manufacturers
should have the additional bounty of
free raw material while enjoying the
privilege of levying enormous tribute
upon the consumers of their finished
products. He is on the Republican
platform and in line with the Presi-
dent in dwelling upon the impor-
lance of bringing the duties on man.

where near the protective point.
Cummins' citation of the hundreds
of articles on which the Senate raised

Use for Damaged Bottom Hay.

hay is pretty dirty and a large amount
is lying flat on the ground as a result
of the flood, but thinks it will pay a
. profit by cutting and curing it.
