before stating who the man is. Dar-
me the last year We have adyertiss ID

which e proper. Il We expect 10 keep
race WITH the times and other people
Now what We have in the city to
show the people when they come? !?
True. we have been boosting for good
roads. and have accomplished much
along tha, line. This is also COM
mcndable: but We need many per
manent improvements in the city. We
need concrete bridges across the Hy-
draulic ditch. where the streets cross
Improvement and would speak we'll
for our good sense and enterprise
Another thing needed is paving Main
street, say from First to Ninth street
This would add very much in per
manency, cleanliness. and appearance
These are Improvements that are
within our reach financially and
should be done as soon as practicable
And. further, we very much need
city hall. The present place we now
occupy Is the comment and laughing
stock of all who come We certainly
ought to begin to plan ways and
means to accomplish this much need
ed Improvement recently read a
letter from one who had visited our
city. He commented beautifully on
our attractions. our churches. schools.
good society. the absence of saloons.
the good water we have. the scenery
around about us. the skyline drive,
etc. and then said: DO not mention
the city hall" and said some things
that are best not TO mention here.
We also need cheaper lights for city
and domestic use Some think we
ougLt TO own our own power plant.
THIS is another thing that ought to
have our careful consideration and
work TO the end of securing all OF
these necessary things. 1 would fur
ther suggest that we sell the Cotton
wood ranches and apply the proceeds
to said improvements or sinking

HURLS DYNAMITE
BOMB IN EARLY
MORNING
Sept. Beach, of the Hanfie1d
Coal Mine, Narrowly Es-
capes Deathly Missile

An attempt was made at 8 o'clock
this morning to assassinate Super.n-
tendent Benjamin Beach. OF the Can
field coal mine at his home at Coal
Creek, by hurting a stick OF dynamite
through the window of his bedroom.
Fortunately. the only damage done
was the wrecking OF the window and
some minor injury to the side of the
house. The matter was at once re-
ported to the authorities here and
Unedr Sheriff Henry L. White left
for the scene Of the explosion at an
early hour this morning. taking a
couple OF bloodhounds with him from
-Four Mile to assist in running down
the would-be assassin. Later in the
day he was joined at Coal Greek by
Sheriff Esser. but up TO noon today
no clue had been obtained that would
lead to the identity Of the criminal
Mr.. Beach has been superintendent
Of the Garfield mine for fifteen years
and has never had any trouble with
the men working under him and he
is at loss to account for the attempt
on his life this morning. That Mr
Beach and all the members OF his
family are uniniured is little short of
the miraculous and there is much in
dignation among the people of Coal
Creek and the neishboring camps oy-
er The affair II the misereant ia
caught he viii be severely dealt with.

we're out in the mountains, in the ter
rife storm Of February 25th, 26th and
27th, every mothers son and daughter
of you, without regard to station in

Christlike interest in our suffering
while we were drinking the awful,
bitter, cup of anxiety, knowing as you
did. that while passing that awful or
deal. we neither ate, slept nor rested,
neither night or day. You all came
forward in a solid phalanx with your
deepest sympathy; you left your avo-
cations; You used your means; you
seemed TO want TO use every human
facility at your command TO rescue
the lost boys.
Did not fathers and sons leave their
comfortable homes and beds? Did

THE TRIALS
OF A HONYOCK

The warm, bright spring has
come cnce more, and the Honyok
sits by his cabin door. He is
thinking hard and thinking fast
Of things in the future as wei! as
the past. His wife is unhappy
and continues to jaw, for she
wants to 90 back to old Arkansas.
The game old sport is worried
now. for he wants to buy a good
milk COW: but his money is nil
and so is his note, for the drought
last summer got his goat. Sheep
men and COW men tear their hair,
and it's really a treat to hear
them swear. They curse the
honyok night and day, and are
mighty glad he has no hay. The
Honyok's horses are poor as
crows; they looked for a while
like they'd turn up their toes.
But the good green grass will
soon be out, and Their these
equine will laugh and shout.
The most that troubles the Hon
yok now is the many acres that
he must pillow. For Mondell said
it, (on jest Or joke) that eighty
acres will have to be broke. But
the Honyok's game and is here
to stay, in spite Of troubles in
the way. When the grass is
green on the rolling plains, and
the ground is soaked with gentle
rains, you'll see the Honyok out
at dawn; he'll sure be here when
the coWman's gone. Elk.

ADVICE ON GOING.

Go west, young man, as Greeley said,
aud carve out wealth and fame; if
you're equipped with heart and head,
you'll surely win the game. If you are
brave and staunch and true. ambition
in your breast, all things will surely
come to you; so. then. young man, go
west. Go east, young man, and win
renown, the iield's beyond compare;
the toiler in the field or town may gain
HIS laurels there. The youth who'd
take higher way than that of clod or
beast will rise 60 noble heights some
day; so then, young man, go east Go
south, young man. to virgin field, and
build yourself home, returning only
on your shield, as did the youth of
Rome. Go TO your work with willing
hands and calm and restful mouth, and
fortune waits for your commands; go
south. good youth, go south. Go north
what boots it where you wend? All
regions are the same; the earnest,
honest soul, my friend, will win an
honored name. Each country has its
rich reward and gladly brings it forth
for him who labors well and hard
go east, or west. or north. Walt

wa One Has Fever.

In cases of excessive thirst that
arise from feverihh conditions the
Juice of half lime poured over
cracked Ice or mixed with charged
waters will give relief II slowly slipped
little at time.
It Is often found that very hot water
taken by the teaspoonful will satisfy
thirst more quickly than any other
drink. The effect is heightened II a
few drops Of orange, lemon or lime
juice is added. or half teaspoonful
OF baking soda
The main thing in thirst quenching
is not to gulp down great quantities of
liquid, to take nothing too sweet or
too rich and to avoid ice water, which,
contrary to usual belief, increases
rather than decreases thirst, and
against which all doctors fight.

Novels by Weight.

Bernard Shaws latest contribution
to the worlds fund Of wisdom is the
suggestion that fiction be sold, or
bought by weight. This certainly is
Mr.. Shaw's profoundest utterance. 1t
marks the acme of his greatness as a
sage. BY all means buy 1t by weight,
then there can be very little ground
for complaint at the high price of
novels Moreover. It will be In direct
line with this popular movement to
buy groceries by weight, as a means Of
solving the high-cost-of-living problem
and getting ones moneys worth.
Perhaps. also, this Shaw system win
have the desired effect of limiting the
output, of bringing the supply some-
where near the demand. The present
method of buying 1t By the yard seems
utterly to have failed In this achieve
ment That means Of measurement
has not even proved wholly successful
with reference to Dr. Eliot's five-foot
book shelf. which. OF course, no one
but Shaw ever would have thought Of
buying by the pound.

What do you know about Illinois
when it steadily refuses to convict its
legislative bribers and one Of its law
yers pronounces Senator Lorimer "the
greatest man since the time of
Christ?'
ED Howe in his new magazine
speaks of the. sort of men who want to
achieve success by some shortcut
method, and who therefore expect to
begin at the top. He says; There is
just one way to achieve success, to
practice patience, fairness. politeness,
industry-to do good days work,
whether you are working for yourself
or others. There are millions of
worthy young men toiling away, pa
tiently cheerfully, fairly, and effec-
lively They will become noted not
the slightest doubt of It. They are
not entitled. under the hard rules made
by the world, to jump into distinction
in day. But when their time comes
they will be recognized in the degree
they deserve; not one particle less;
not one particle more, The man who
does not know this is deceiHing him
self and there is no greater or more
inexcusable folly than for man to
deceive himself.
