ORIGINATED IN A JOKE
EXPLANATION or HORACE GREE
LEYs ADVICE, "Go WEST"
According to Statement of Kansas City
Man, "Salted" Mines Gave the
Great Editor the Inspiration
for WeII-KncWn Words.

According to Isom G. Stephens, who
runs little. corner grocery store in
Kansas City, the famous advice of
Horace Greeley to go West was
founded on fake bit of persuasion in
the form Of a sailed" gold mine near
Denver, Colo
In the Spring Of 1860 Mr.. Stephens
was in Denver-then mere frontier
village whose chief enterprise was
gambling at the time when Horace
Greeley made the town visit. Steph-
eEs was one Of party of six who
wasted considerable effort trying to
get real gold out OF the identical 10
cality where the early day promoters
produced extravagant wealth before
Mr. Greeley's eyes. The ruse worked
admirably. It was good for several col
umns Of the Go west, young man"
strfr right off the New York editors
trelchant pen.
Mr.. Stephens, by the way, has re-
markable record as pioneer. In four
different states he pioneered" years
in advance of the railway-Michiga =,
Kansas, Colorado and North DAKOTA.
Mr.. Stephens was born In log house
in the woods Of Michigan In 1881.
II got the gold fever early in 1860"
Mr.. Stephens said. my brother-in-law
had been in Denver the year previous
and had struck 1t rich in placer min
ing. We learned of excursion rates
Of $40 from Atchison to Denver, which
were cheap in comparison with the
regular rates of 500 one way.
when we got to Denver the gold
fever was running high. Horace Gree
ley, editor of the New York Tribune,
and member Of his staff were in
Denver. They sent back beautifully
worded stories Of the grandeur of the
west, and the possibilities of getting
rich. MY father mad been a subscrib-
er to the New York Tribune ever since
he built our log house in the Michi-
gan clearing in 1928.
"Our party got tip on the mines
that Greeley had written about and we
went up near Boulder and tried our
luck. The six of us showed a gross re-
turn Of 1927 worth of gold for the
weeks work. Discouraged and half
starved, we trailed back to Denver.
Shortly after that we learned that
the gold mines had been sailed for
the purpose Of arousing Mr.. Greeley's
enthusiasm.
MIR. Greeley went back to New York
that spring. 1t was the season to put
ozone into the lungs of a city man
and make him think there was no
place like the boundless west. He
left staff writer in Denver that sum-
mer. I followed the trail back to the
states the same summer. A drought
had seized the land. Everything was
parched and brown. It was desolate-
looking landscape. After | got back to
Michigan I read the rosy accounts Of
the western country in the New York
Tribune. but they didn't look good to
me. kansas City Times.

Pleads for the Guitar

The London Pail Mall Gazette urges
the cultivation Of the guitar. "The
guitar has always been typical of the
troubadour spirit, and its revival
might herald a return to the gentle
chivalry of earlier times The
writer insists that the guitar is more
suitable than the piano as AN accom-
paniment to the voice; it can be play
ed indoors or in the open air with
equally good effect "and on the river
the harplike quality of its tone is
simply enhancing" Furthermore, a
large variety Of compositions, grave
and gay, romantic and classical, are
suited to its strings AS an aeebm-
panying instrument 1t sis exceptional
ly easy to play"

How He Treated Her.

A certain osteopath was treating q
young woman who had very weak
ankles and wrists. AS she lived in a
town quite distance from his own
city, he was forced to leave the city
Saturday of each week and go to the
town in which the young woman
lived, give her the treatment Sunday.
and return to the Office Monday. A
friend once asked the osteopath how
he had arranged to give the young
woman the treatment for her ankles
and wrists when she lived at such
distance, and the osteopath replied:
ooh, l go out and treat her week
ends. "-Lippincott's Magazine.

SEE FIGHT FOR ASSEMBL lyman
Frank Becker and Former Mayor
Charles Pfennig to Clash at the
Primaries for Leadership of the Re-
pliCan County Ticket.

The political situation has new APP
pearance this nSfning as late Saturday
evening William J. Craney, member
of the board of education and well
known throughout the city and county,
cook out petitions as candidate for
The Democratic nomination for sheriff
and it is understood that there will be a
strong campaign made for his nomina-
ton. Mr. Craney has been a member
of the school board for a number of
wears and he has served in the capacity
of president of the board. The taking
out of his papers came as surprise
to the other Democratic candidates for
sheriff and it is now expected that there
will be real active work done. 1t is de-
DECLARED by the friends of former
Mayor Scholey that he has decided to
pass up the office Of member OF the as
sembly and THAT on his return from
Baltimore he will jump into the cam
paign as d candidate for the Democra
tic nomination for sheriff.
This morning petitions were taken
out for the nomination of Frank Jack
son as Republican candidate for reg
iste~ of deeds. Mr.. Jackson is son
OF the late johnson Jackson, who dur
ing his life was prominent in political
circles in Kenosha city and county.
He is widely known throughout the
county and is now employed in the
water department of the city.
Frank S. Becker took out petitions
today seeking the Republican nominal
ton as a candidate for member of the
assembly and it is expected that he will
contest for the nomination with former
Mayor Charles Pfennig. Mr.. Pfennig
has not as yet taken out papers, but his
friends in all parts of the county have
begun active work to advance his can
didacy and it is understood that he will
come formally into the field within a
short time. Mr.. Becker has been in
the government naturalization service
for several years and he is member
of one of the old pioneer families. Mr..
Pfennig has given notable service to
the city and county along political
lines. He served as mayor of the city
and his administration was one of the
best in the history of the city. AS
sheriff Mr.. Pfennig won high position
as a clean and careful official. 1t is
certain that he will make strong man
BIT the head of the ticket if nominated
County Clerk Jones is being kept
busy getting out the petitions for can
didates and it is thought that before
the end of the present week there will
be candidates in the field for every
office.
There is only one Office that is not at
tractive to the politicians and that is
the office of county surveyor. For years
this Office has been a drag and it is
pretty certain that if john Williams is
willing to accept the Office he will con
tinue to hold it for another two years

Billiards.

The French ascribe the invention OF
the game of billiards to one Hendique
Devigne, an artist, about the year
1871. The game is mentioned by
Spencer about 1891, and by Shakes
peare in 1907. Cotton, in his "Com-
plete Gamester," 1874, gives a very
full account of the game. 1t will not
do, however, to be too emphatic in
asserting the modern origin of the
popular game, for there are fairly good
reasons for thinking that it was
known as far back as the age of the
Pharaohs of old Egypt. 1t is claimed
byA good authorities that the men of
old Pompeii played game very SIM
liar to our modern billiards. Many of
our modern Inventions are merely
revivals.
