WANT CITY LIBRARY.
Garden City People Give Up Hope of |
Carnegie Aid.

Garden City. Kan, Feb. 24.@The
local library association has given up
its hopes Of ever getting a Carnegie
library for Garden City and is now
trying to get the city to furnish funds
for a municipal building. Sentiment
Of the library board to the Carnegie
plan has changed materially during
the past year. A year ago. while the
board was enthused over the Carnegie
library offer, the city officials offered
to issue bonds for a library. Their offer
was refused. Now the board Is COM
pletely disgusted with Carnegie and
wants municipal bonds issued at once
for a building.

FINALLY GETS PENSION.
Failure to Salute Officer Delays v.,

Marshalltown, Iowa-After bsr;r, waited nearly fifty years for nan sion John P. Wagner. aged p |, member of the soldiers home from Ottumwa, will soon be on the nav roll of Uncle Sam as civil war non. hon sioner. At his age Wagner will bs entitled to $20 a month.
 The story of the denial by his goy. ernment of questionable status is an interesting one. Away back in October 1864, Wagner committed an indjsore. tion by failing to salute a superior of. ficer. Wagner was discharged. dis. honorably, by a courtmartial without a trial. This was on November F, 1864.
 In 1881 he tried to get President Hayes to have the record of the war department revoked and an honorable discharge substituted. President Hayes referred the case to the war department and it ruled that it was without power to discuss the charge

SPRING FEVER.

The above name is often given to the languor that attacks most people with the first return of summer weather. It is time of restlessness. The trammels of daily work appear particularly irksome. Summer sports and outdoor life are tempters. It seems a crime to work on some of these lovely spring days.
 Shrewd sellers of patent medicine long ago capitalized that tired feel ing" Who can make even wild guess at the enormous amounts Of money spent for remedies and mostrums, good and bad, supposed to counteract this physical weariness. Old fashioned people have favorite traditional remedies which they al- ways take at this period for a gen. eral internal house cleaning.
 Years ago, when industry was less highly organized and specialized, peo- pie would listen to the spring-time call of cut door life more freely The spirit of the season would seize hold of a merchant and his clerks, or a room full of mechanics. They would lock up and go fishing or picnick- ing for the day. Probably their pro- duct at the end of the year was just as large as if they had stayed in and yawned the afternoon away.
 Modern life is more intricate. Few people can yield to the call of the woods and streams for a holiday of idleless. Every mans daily task is fitted into his neighbours. If one quit his task it would throw dozen out of work. So the mechanic or the business man has to put out of his head the dreams of vagrant ease, and keep digging to the task.
 This regular labor in the face of all counter attractions has disciplin- ary value It creates an industrial machine whose product surpasses . the world. But it excludes many natural enjoyments and wholesome primitive sports.
