they build more toll-gates than
they do roads. Two or three

4 {. Moretz Succeeding Well in Idaho.

Mr.. A. f. Moretz, late OF Wa
tauga, but now OF Cavendish,
Idaho, in remitting for his paper
writes as if he was prospeing all
right, and we are taking one par
agraph from his interesting let
ter:
eve have been unusually busy
this fall, harvesting and market
ing our crops. We had 80 acres
in beans this year, and t h q t
meant work and lots OF it, but |
am glad to say we made good
on the crop. We raised a little
more than $4,000 pounds oi
beans. After paying our rent We
had nearly $4,000 pounds left.
which we sold at from 5 to 8 cts.
per pound. Then we raised agOod
crop OF oats.
We appreciate The Democrat
very much, for through it We
receive more local news than We
can get through all other sourc
es.

As formerly announced, the Sun

day School, under the direction
OF their splendid leader, Mrs. En-
ma Moore, gave a most enjoya-
able entertainment in the Bap-
tist church at 1880 Thaaksgiv-
ing evening, it being given for
the benefit Of the Thomasville
Orphanage. The little band OF
workers for the fatherless ones
certainly performed their respec-
tive parts in a manner most
pleasing, showing that the ef-
forts of Mrs. Moore in putting
them in training, had not been,
by any means, in vain, as they
came fully up to Interpretations
of the most exacting. Miss An.
ME Dougherty, q member of the
"band," presided at the organ,
and the entire program was in
terspersed with violin music dis
pensed by Master James Moore.
No admission was charged but
at the close OF the exercises a col.
lection was taken which amour.

cerned are to be congratulated
upon the splendid success OF the
praise.worthy Undertaking.

Gold Nuggets.
Charlotte Observer.

VuhTlOCue OUSofVeV.
The press agent OF the South
ern States Woman Suffrage Con-
ference, who sends to The Obsrv-
er an occasional letter from New
Orleans, sprinkles the diam ond
dust on her latest effusion in
which she lauds the western men
for their appreciation OF the
rights and liberties OF the women.
She finds that out of the siftings
OF the stream of National elec-
tional election results some gold
en- flakes OF wisdom glitter. "The
most brilliant one is that t h e
Western women are on the politi
cal summit" she says. "We all
know how Eastern and Southern
sections have elevated women to
impractical pedestals. The ma
jority of women do not know
this bnt the majority OF men are
dead sure of this altitudinous po-
sition OF womanhood. This emf
nence accounts for a number OF
facts. Why pay envelopes do not
reach the elevated lady-she is
perched too high for access! Why
she is working longer hours per
day than men-it is too fatigu-
ing to step down from the height
to rest and then climb back a
gain for worship. Why she can
not hold property in some states
-notroom on the precarious top.
Why she cannot own her own
children-the shrine is too mar.
row and the footing too insecure.
Why her opinion has no value at
the ballot box-because angels
on shrines dwell in a fog of tradi
tional incente which adulation
would becloud a moral intellect
to say nothing of angelic vapor'
GUS mentality. But why specu
late further on the Eastern anC
southern angels? The Wecterr
women are the golden nuggets o.
Democracy" That line OF talk il
going to make. some men laugh
it may make others feel uncom
Portable, and it ls sure to max
some OF the legislators mad. Th'
women advocates want to .h'
pacific in their dispositions. Th'
sarcastic shaft sometimes fail
of it's purpose. 1t is better to cod
die poor rlan than toknock him
and especially is it an unwisepol
icy to undertake to gain his goo'
will by running him down" AM
elevatlng his brother of anothe
section over him.

FIGHT CROWS HOT
DIR. Finney of AtchisOn Replies
to General Brewster.
Denies That He Promised Not
to Run Again.

DR.. C. C. Finney, former mayor of
Atchison and candidate for re-elec-
ton on the Democratic ticket, has re-
piled to the statements of S. M. Brew
ster, attorney general, in a half page
advertisement in an Atchison news
paper. Finney bought a half page of
space in the Atchison Globe in which
he told his constituents that he never
agreed to keep out of the contest for
another term.
Some time ago Mayor Finney re-
signed at the request of the attorney
general. Now he is a candidate for re-
election. The attorney general threat
ems custer proceedings if Finney wins
He also threatens suit for receiver
for the Eagles lodge and suit against
members of the police department
The attorney general himself told
me that if 1 made a gentleman 5
agreement to step from office that |
was free" said DIR. Finney in a denial
of the claim that he promised not to
run again Then he adds in a conclud-
ing paragraph: IF Brewster insists
upon a fight, 1 will give him one to
his own liking and 1 assure you 1t
will be warm enough to please the
gallery
Brewster this afternoon declined to
discuss further his plans in the Finney
fight Persons in touch with condi-
tions at the state house believe he will
merely await the April election before
taking action In the meantime DR.
Finney is fighting for election. Wheth-
er he succeeds in holding office in
event of his election, is quite another
thing

Poker NOT GAMBLING
n. Y. Magistrate Says 1t Is Merely a
Gentleman's Game.

New York March 3O.-'I don't be-
Iieve poker can be justly considered
gambling. 1t is a gentleman's game,
and is permitted in many of our most
exclusive clubs and in countless
homes. I know personally that it is
played in my club. "-Magistrat Levy.
With this distinction between gam
bling and poker, the magistrate, sit
ting in the West side court, adjourned
to April Is the case of three men
who were arraigned on charge of
operating a gambling house Mean
while, the district attorneys office
will prepare a brief in support of the
contention that poker is gambling.
Assistant District Attorney Lazarus
contended that when a kitty" is
operated in connection with the game,
poker is gam bling.

Deceived THEM
Professor Stages Shooting Scrape But
Students Don't Sec 1t Alike.

St. Louis, Mo, March 30.-An eX-
pertinent to demonstrate the unrella-
bility of eyewitness testimony was
performed a few days ago before the
psychology class of Prof. Edgar James
Swift. at Washington university, and
as a result the students now are con-
WINGED they cannot believe the EVIL
dence of their own eyes.
While the professor was lecturlng,
the door suddenly opened and two
men, gesticulating angrily and quar-
reling, entered. Two young women
followed them. The young women
screamed. one of the men drew what
looked like a revolver, the report of
the firing of gun was heard, and one
Of the men fell over a chair, appar-
emily wounded.
All Saw Gun-It Was Banana.
The professor then asked the stu
dents to write down their impressions
of what had occurred, he having
staged the affair for this purpose.
OF the thirty-two members of the
Gloss most of them wrote that they
had seen one man draw a revolver.
The revolver in fact was yellow
banana. Others were sure they heard
the report of a revolver. The sound
was the explosion of paper torpedo.
Though four persons took part in
the affair. one student wrote that he
saw six, another wrote that he saw
ten and another told only of the two
women. Apparently he did not see
the two men who first entered the
room.
None of the students recognized the
actors in the shooting scrape" as fell
low students, though none of the four
was disguised.

State Agricultural college. Mr.. New
man keeps a Carneau flock for his
home use.
Squads make the most delicate G.sh
that can be had" declares Mr.. New
man. Chicken does not compare
with it, and squads may be had the
year round. The two breeds most
generally raised are the Homer and
Carneau. The consensus of opinion is
that the former breed is more Wig
orous than the latter and will multiply
slightly more rapidly. The Carneau,
however, are larger birds, have whit
er meat, and more quiet disposition.
These breeds are far different
from the ordinary barn pigeons. The
domesticated birds are more prolific"

PROHIBS TO EMPORIA
Dry Party May Become Thing of the
Past in Kansas.

Wichita, Kan, March 30.-The fu-
ture of the prohibition party in Kan
sas will be determined at the state
convention at Emporia April and 6.
The convention was set at a late date
in order that the party might learn
the action taken by the Republicans
at their national gathering. In case
the Republican and Democratic par
ties incorporate prohibition in their
national platforms the Prohibition
party may cease to exist.
According to a statement given out
by j. Hayden Kershner, executive sec
rotary of the state committee John P.
St John, former governor, will be the
guest of honor at the convention.
This may be the last prohibition con-
vention ever held in Kansas" said Mr..
kershner. I'VE hope it will. The
Prohibition party, like a grain of corn
planted in the ground, lives only that
it may die. But it will not die until
it has accomplished its purpose. The
influence of this convention will be
felt whether concentrated on party
action or diffused through the other
parties"
