Mourn Directors Death.

At a special meeting OF the board of
directors of the Lincoln National Bank.
held November II, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased the Almighty
God to remove from our midst Andrew
Archer, who had been associated with
this bank as a director since its organiza-
ton; therefore
BE it resolved. That in his death this

counselor, ever-ready friend, and an
earnest and devoted patron, and that
the community has lost a public spirited
citizen, whose heart and hand were ever
ready and open to give comfort and SYM
rathy;
That we tender to his family our
heartfelt sympathy and assure them that
their loss is also ours;
THAT a copy of these resolutions be
sent to his family and a copy placed
upon the records of this bank

MANY WORDS OF
1VAcommendation have been
spoken concerning the tiller
Of the soil. Swift declared
that whosoeyer makes two
ears Of corn, or two blades Of
grass to grow where only one
grew before, does more essen
tial service to his country
than the whole race Of poll
ticians. 1t has also been re-
commended because it brings
The Deity perpetually before
The view of him who engages
sherein, thus exemplifying the
wonderful notions of supreme
power and the endearing view
Of divine benignity.

A WORDABOUT THE OLD QUESTION
THAT is EVER NEW.

The election in Texas which
took place last Saturday on the
question Of statewide prohibition,
attracted the attention of the whole
country. The vets won by few
thousand votes but the drys showed
such strength that it is conceded
by many that they will be victori-
Gus in the next encounter.
The habit of drinking to excess
is now quite generally condemned
by those who uphold what they
term the Legitimate" use ofliquor.
But more and more people are
coming to the realization that eve
ry old fellow who has gotten SO far
down that he is an acknowledged
disgrace to the community in which
he lives, was also once clean, up
right young man who laborcd und-
er the delusion that he could use it
legitimately but at length found
that he couldn't. With these new
conceptions of the evil there will
also be less personal fight between
those who oppose and those who
favor the traffic. We should fight
it for the preservation of the race
as physician does the progress
of disease that racks the body OF
his patient. Future generations,
when this conflict is over, will
wonder how a people who were SO
intelligent about other things, ever
happened to bow down to this.

PARTICIPATING IN A MAN HUNT.

Did you ever sally forth with a
run in your hands looking for a
nan? Did you ever sneak from
bush to stone, and stone to tree
ready to shoot a fugitive from
lustice-a real bad man-with a
leaden bullet propelled by smoke
less powder, at first sight? If you
haven't you have lived in vain.
A messenger arrived in town
yesterday morning with word that
crazy IndiaR was at large up
northwest of town; that he had al
ready killed one 'honyocker" and
just before the messenger left, or
sofGethipg to that effect, he was
holding little body of Indian po-
lice at bay ID in the woods that
fringe Firesteel creek. We de-
parted in few minutes thereafter
with little party in an automo-
bile, not so much in the capacity
of man-hunter as war correspond
ent for the associated press. Our
party hunted all around in the
neighborhood where we understood
the outlaw was holding the fort
but found nothing to justify our
war-like array SO we turned around
and marched right back again.
Perhaps there is a crazy Indian
somewhere out northwest, in the
general direction of Nome. Alaska,
but if there is he certainly showed
a trace of intelligence by not let
ting Our party see him.

woPE, SIR

Whoa, Buck Gee-haw, Jack!
Back, Bawley! I'll be hanged
if that old fop-eared hound
of fashion amt yelping on a hot
trail this time! We poor old
plug-uglies of men have been
having just dead oodlings Of fun
about feminine fashions. We
have pointed the long, bony fin
ger of our whitening disgust at
the dear, dazzling darlings of the
fashionable female flock, who
always have to keep eight or ten
hired girls to help them change
dresses as often as the fashions
change. The really up-to-date
society woman these days has to
have two good girls to study the
fashion plates, one girl to stand
at the telephone and give orders
to the tailor, two niggers to lug
the duds home, and six French
maids to help her crawl in and
out of the wonderful creations.

of it. That's one kind Of preach
ing I don't like, and I am going
to stand right up to you fellows
and tell you so. I have seen some
preachers who would start out
very well, but in about five min
utes they would be jumping up
and down like an old-fashioned
sash saW-mil1, waving their arms
like a pair of winding blades,
and yelling like forty wild In
dians with the devil after them. !.
They preach as if they thought
everybody in the house was as
deaf as a post, but the truth is,
they make SO much noise you
couldn t even get taiLhold on a
thought if they should happen to
cypress one. They mistake per
Espiration For inspiration and
racket for religion. Whenever
you see a preacher get up and
sweat down his stud -hoss collar
in thirty minutes On winter
day, it's a sign God ism t helping
him much or it wouldn't be such
hard work.
Imagine Jesus Christ cutting

When the Dollar Rules the Pulpit
and the Devil Rules the Pew.
VOL. ii.

In this world of frills and fashions,
Where the churches are SO fine,
And the trademark of religion
Is the classic dollar sign,
There's a rule that never faileth,
And you'll always find it true
When the Dollar rules the pulpit,
Then the Devil rules the pew
There may be a heap of singing,
And an awful sight of prayer.
And the sermon may be answered
With an "Amen!" here and there;
But as sure as Joe's Dutchman,
Or old Shylock was a Jew, {,
When the Dollar rules the pulpit.
Then the Devil rules the pew.
When the money gets to talking,
And the Masters voice Is still,
And the preacher swaps sermon
For a twenty dollar bill,
That's the time old Mister Satan
Gets the churches in a stew
When the Dollar rules the pulpit
And the Devil rules the pew.
When religion goes a-begging,
And the Bible is forgot,
And the preacher breaches nothing
Only scientific rot,
Then the faithful old believers,
They are getting mighty few
When the Dollar rules the pulpit
And the Devil rules the pew.
