A Lesson Which Applies Everywhere.

Emporia, Kansas, is chiefly known because of a newspaper published there. which has made itself conspicu- ous in the "uplift' business. Elm poria, like all small cities. is in need of more capital for its industrial de- velopment. Certain improvements are badly needed, but capital declines to come in and make them. The impress sion has gone abroad that Emporia is hostile to capital; but whereas invit- ing talks are made to prospective in vestors. there is a strong disposition locally to "cinch" them as soon as they have made their investments. This situation has led the reforming newspaper to take a tack in its sails. and to advise the people of Emporia to be somewhat more conservative if they wish to get the help of outside capital in building up the town. Among other things it says. under the caption of "A Look Ahead:
 Now then Emporia is asking capi- tai to come to this town to put in a street car line. The men furnish ing this capital regard the spirit of a town as well as it's geographical and it's typographical situation"
 Which states concisely a fact which everybody ought to know. Indeed. the spirit of town" is either one of its most valuable assets, or one of its most serious disadvantages Capital cannot be clubbed into in- vesting in any community. The natural attractions may be exceeding ly inviting. but they can be more than offset by a spirit of hostility to capital The manifestation of this spirit will invariably push investors away.
 There can always be found in every growing town. large numbers of live. go-ahead men who resent the impu- tation that their town is opposed to capital They point to their own attitude and the attitude and efforts of their neighbors as proof of sane and friendly spirit toward capital But what such men overlook is their own inability in a large measure to make. as individuals. the reputation for their town which they wish it to have. The outside world judges a community by what it does in rela- ton to important questions as a community.
 Most important of all. perhaps. in fixing the reputation of a town in the minds of investors is the stti- tude of it's newspapers.

 When you come to get grown up and in business for yourself. employ ing many people and hiring other people to look after them. bear this in mind when it comes to hiring bosses.
 Whatever his other merits may be never hire a man for a boss unless he has also good sound health. A healthy. hearty man who is feeling good and cheerful himself all the time can get out of men twice the work that can he got by man in poor health and feeling all the time sour and grumpy"

WIRES CROSSED

Wednesday afternoon 67 tele-
phones were put out of commits
sion when an electric power wire
carrying 1000 volts came in con-
tact with a telephone wire at the
corner of B and Union streets.
The switch box ION the pole where
the lines are connected was set on
fire and the top of the pole was
charred. Jake Peyser climbed
the pole and threw water on the
blaze and prevented the total
destruction of the switch con-
nections. The juice was carried
to the switch beard in the office
and sheet of flame shot out but
fortunately no one was injured.
The damaged wires carried
electric power to the Andes and
the hoist at the mine was out of
commission most of the afternoon.

CYANIDE WON'T
~. KILL TARANTUA

Something apparently new has
been learned about tarantulas.
Cyanide is supposed to produce
almost instant death in any thing
that has life to lose. The other
day big tarantula was captured
by some of the men at the Nevada
Wonder mill. and it was determ-
ined to kill him scientifically. A
can partially filled with the
ordinary cyanide solution was
procured, and his bugship SUBJ
merged in it for half an hour.
When the solution was poured off
of him no further effect seemed
to have been produced than to
"rile up" his by no means amiable
disposition .......
Shorty" Brambell remarked
that he would fix him. so, procur,
ing some more cyanide. he made
a solution strong enough to kill all
the men in town. The tarantula
was put in this mixture. and merely
crawled out. A weight was put
on him, forcing him under the
water, and he lived there three
hours under the surface. and
finally drowned. The truth of the
above is vouched for by Shorty"
and his reputation for truth ar d
veracty is good,-Wonder News.

True enlightenment.

when We get enlightened we find
that the way TO attain harmony with
God is by conforming ourselves to
him, not by seeking to coiform him
to us by and by we find that there
is God Of Infinite perfection in pow.
er. wisdom. Justice. love and holiness;
and then we find that God needs no
instruction. for he Is all wise. and be.
fore the beginning he knew all which
would happen In the history OF the
human race He needs no appeaslng
to alter his affection. for he is all
love. and has an infinite desire to
confer the highest possible or concelv.
able blessing on the whole human
race. aud on each individual thereof.
When We come to this conclusion we
take pains to bring ourselves into
harmony with God. All sacrifice dis.
appears; all mutilatIon Of the flesh

grow out Of the natural waists OF

least 80 days prior to the Republican

Such a primary would have TO be
