Another very serious trouble
of the human family is diagnosed
by a Kansas newspaper as fol-
lows: We throw aside ashes and
buy soap. We raise dogs and
buy hogs. We grow seeds and
buy vegetables and buy brooms.
We catch fish with a 81 rod. We
build school houses and send our
children to be educated away
from home. And at last we
send our boys out with a $40 gun
and a $40 dog to hunt ten cent
game" In other words, we are
just a bit extravagent, and the
people cannot afford to be eM
travagent under a high tariff

Country editors always remain
poor, but that is because they
are not mean enough to get rich.
In order to get rich it is only
necessary to trust nobody, to be-
friend none, to get everything
and save all you get; to stint
ourselves and everybody belong
ing to us; to be friend to no man
and have no man for friend; to
heap interest upon interest, cent
upon cent; to be mean, misery
and despised for some thirty
years, and riches will come sure
as sickness and disappointment.
And when pretty near enough
wealth is collected by a disregard
OF the human heart at the ex-
pense of every enjoyment save
that of wallowing in filthy mean
ness, death cones to finish the
work. Country editors prefer to
remain poor, live right and die

Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing of the
six thieves, mention of whose ar
rest was made in this paper last
week, was held before Justice
Jones on Saturday of last week.
The state was represented by
Deputy County Attorney A. d.
Schreiner of Galena, and at the
close of the hearing the six were
bound over to the September term
of the district court sitting at
Galena. None of the defendants
were able to give bond and were
committed to the county jail.
The defendants all gave testi-
mony, but they were separated
during the taking of testimony,
with the result that they impli-
Gated each other. Truly, they
are hard bunch and it is very
likely that people in this section
will be rid of them for a long
time, as the charges against them
range from grand larceny to bur-
plarV.
