possessed by Senator johnson was.
as above said. the abiding faith OF
the people in his unflinching homes
lty. In viewing the position taken
by the dead statesman on many
questions ones mind reverts to
Henry Clay's assertion that he
would rather be right than be presi-
dent. The steadfast position which
was sometimes taken by Mr.. john
son in behalf of measures which
were at the time unpopular caused
some critics to assert that he was
without tact; and. if tempering his
beliefs SO that they might not too
greatly antagonize powerful inter-
ests in the state were a requisite of
tact, then was he not tactful. When
he espoused cause he was ready
and willing to make sacrifices for it
and to fight for it to the end.
In public and private life Senator
johnson was earnest and sincere;
and no public man has died in North
Dakota whose life was better ex-
ample to be followed by the young
man DESTROYS of leading an ideal
life.
The death of Senator johnson, like
that of his namesake Of Minnesota,
leads one to the query: What is
life Is it worth while to strive and
struggle for political prominence,
when, after the goal shall have been
reached, one may perhaps be snuffed
out like a candlee." For twenty
years NJ. N. johnson had been pos
sessed of an ambition to represent
North Dakota in the senate of the
United State. He finally attained
the eminence he sought, only to fill
the position few months and then
pass away. Was it worth the strug-
giles and worry necessary to its OBJ
tainment?

the election to a representative OF Inc

"Of course we are highly grained
AZ the splendid majority which the

OLD ORPHEUM IS
TO BE CLOSED OUT
SHIPPED TO LAW
RENcEBURG AND VAUDEVILLE
is ENDED IN COLUMBIA.

The Orpheum Theatre is no more.
Manager Will Barker had this little
play house dismantled of its furniture
and all fixtures, consisting of scenery,
stage. chairs, etc. Monday, and is stor-
ing all the lumber, scenery, etc. in the
basement of the Opera House. Mr..
Barker sold the chairs to the manager
of the new theatre at Lawrenceburg
and has shipped them to that place.
This practically eliminates vaudeville
from Columbia This feature OF en-
tertainment has been running In Co
lumbia at different intervals for the
past five years and for while was
paying business, but of late 1t has
been a loosing proposition and Mr..
Barker decided to close out all vaude-
VILE and give the people of Columbia
first class shows at the Grand Opera
House.
Sam Wolf, of Nashville, but former
w Of Columbia, has rented the house
and will move his stock of dry goods
here some time this week and Will
occupy the Orpheum building.

MULE SALES TODAY
WILL AGGREGATE
FIFTY THOUSAND
ESTIMATED THAT OVER 200 HAVE
BEEN SOLD AT AVERAGE
or s175 EACH.
VERY LARGE CROWD ON SlHEETS
Many Fine Saddle And Harness
Horses Are Disposed Of, Some Of
Them at Rather Fancy Prices.
Some Of the Buyers Here.

Mule business was heavy Monday.
Several car loads changed hands and
at good prices. It is is impossible to
place anything like an accurate esti-
mate on the amount of business trans
acted. The average price paid was
about S175.OO, but some fancy teams
sold for $3.50 to $500. 1t is estimated
that at least two hundred were sold
at three o'clock and by night it is
safe to say this amount will be aug
mented to aggregate $4,000 worth of
mules.
At Matthews Bros stables at least
100 sales were made. All day their
mule barn was a scene of much ac-
tivity. The Stock Yards was also a
busy place, both in the way of sales
and receiving the stock that was sold
down town.
Among the buyers were ]. W. How
ard & Co, Hayes & Moore, Claude
Estes. ]. E. Johnson, Watson Bros,
and among the foreign buyers were
H. Abraham, of Birmingham, NJ Flies,
of Birmingham; ]. w. Fox, of Daw-
son, Ca. J. R. Rosson, of Birming-
ham; Smith & Son, of Edison, Ca;
Herrin Bros, of Admission, Ala; E. B.
Barshill, of Lexington, KY.
In addition to the number of mules
that changed hands were also a goodly
number of saddle and harness horses
and at good prices.
A. B. Harlan sold number of Jer-
sey cows, heifers and calves and beef
steers at Matthews Bros. stables at
fairly good prices.

AS the smoke of Thursdays battle

taxes to the healthy tune of $554.00.
These figures are obtained from the

day and Thursday of this week.
The poll tax with penalty attached
amounts to s2.4O per capita, Mr..
Thomas having waived his costs. The
taxes paid by those eager to qualify
for the city election were due last
March, and will be due again next
March. OF course, many polls had
been paid months ago, and many vot-
ers are past poll tax age.
All the money paid as poll tax goes
to the school fund. with the exception
of the officers cost Not only does
! the fund benefit temporarily. but many
names have been added to the list
that would not otherwise have been
obtained. and will be there when the

JEFFRIES MAY
 MEET MITCHELL
Will Fight Michigan Man if Johnson is
 Whipped in October.

Montreal, June 11.-Jim Jeffries, for mer worlds heavyweight champion, who sis appearing here in vaudeville, announced this afternoon that in the event of Jack Johnson being beaten by Stanley Ketchell in their battle next October he would not fight Johnson, but would take on Ketchell should the Michigan Lion challenge him.
 In making the announcement Jeff ries talked as if he still held the heavyweight championship, despite his retirement from the ring. 'I surely will not fight Johnson if Ketcheil beats him in October" said the giant Cali forhian. "If Ketchell wins and wishes to challenge me for the title I will take him on, but in the event of Ketchell whipping Johnson, the big Texan will be a dead coon as far as I am con- cerned.
 And I think that Stanley will whip Johnson. I wouldn't be surprised to see ketcheH stop the negro in four or five rounds Ketchen has shown lot of class in his recent fights, and his two decisive victories lover O,Brien proves his championship calibre.
 Stanley is game. and that is more than I can say of Johnson. I am fore ed to admit that Johnson is a great man on the defensive, but am satis- fled that either Ketchell or I can bat ter down his defenses. And once you sling a. broadside into MT. Johnson's Inidships he will lower his flag. He hasn't the grit of chipmunk.''

Awful Fnte of Innrtistfc Cutters.
 Bad tailoring, like sin, makes men uncomfortable and unhappy, but good tailoring. like good actions, makes them feel at ease and glad theys are Iv- ing. :
 The cutter of mems clothes should therefore always bear in mind the fact that he is a powerful influence in the world for good if he does good work, but for evil if his work is bad, and should keenly feel that he deserves honor for the one and disgrace for the other. If his work is bad his punish ment, even though 1t may not fit the crime and make him utterly wretched, will surely so fill his days With shame. apprehension, shudders of horror, snubs and insults that he will almost hate himself and will wish in every vaking hour that night will come and bring him forgetfulness and always through the night will long for day to escape in its light and hustle the black torments and silent gnawings of guilty con- science.-Tailor and Cutter

Laws Against Elaborate Meals.

An et1ict of Charles TX. of France dated 1868 made it a civil offense to offer any guest more than three courses at one meal. If fourth appeared the provider of the feast was liable to a fine of POO francs, while the guests who partook of it could be called upon to pay the authorities 40 francs each. The unlucky purveyor was struck at still more severely, for if he took an order for a four course dinner he became amenable by law to fifteen days inn prisonment upon bread and water. If after this severe discipline upon two occasions he offended again he might be whipped and driven from the king dom as danger to the state

Cutting . Queen Bee. Wing.

Dallas Lore Sharp describes a meth od of preventing bees from swarming In the Country Calendar. Keep your queens clipped Lay aside your senti- ments, your Years of the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, your ideas that it hurts her. your fears of killing her-and, get your scissors. Seize her bysone wing Gf you can't do bettef) and, holding her gently against the frame. snip off one wing. This won't stop the swarming, but 1t will keep. the bees from absconding. for the swarm won't go off without the queen while you are away. So you are often able to induce them to call off the strike and go back to work. Clip your queens then. give the bees room, give then shade at the hottest hours if necessary, shake them if they show signs of swarming and keep the colonies strong.

Grnuth of the Hair.

The influence of diet on the growth of hair has often been discussed. It has been shown that starchy mixtures, milk and many other foods recognized as being highly nutritious are, in fact, sure death to hair growth. Chemical analysis proves that the hair is com posed of per cent of sulphur and its ash of 20 per cent of silicon and 10 per cent of iron and manganese. The foods which contain the largest per cent of the above named elements are meat, oatmeal and graham. Henry pointedly says, Nations which eat most meat have the most hair.''

stonewau Jackson. Looks.

Stonewall JackSon's form was tall, gaunt and angular. His feet and hands were large. and his walk was singular ly ungraceful. He always spoke quick ly, in short sentences devoid of orna- ment, but to the point. A habit of "bat- ting" his eyes added no little to the peculiarity of his appearance. His eyes were gray and ordinarily dull and expressioniess, but when excited by drill, which always seemed to rouse him, especially when charges were fired, the whole man would change, as If he. were transported by the roar of the guns to the exciting scenes of an actual field of battle. - Thomas M.

R=o-I E~aA-

Blank or unrhymed Is that form of heroic verse which is commonly em- ployed in English dramatic and epic poetry. It was introduced by the Earl of Surrey, who died in 1547, in his translation of the second and fourth books of 'tEneid." It was first em- ployed in the drama in Sackv1lle and Norton's tragedy of ''Ferrex and Por: rex" which was printed in 1565, but 1t was not till Marlowe adopted it in his play of "Tamburlaine the Great that 1t became the form regularly em- ployed in the metrical drama, which 1t has since, with only occasional inter vals, remained. After Milton's use of it in Paradise Lost" it was widely extended to many other classes of com position.
