show the total number of school chil-
Iren of school age , two hundred forty-

eight are female and one hundred fif-

From a letter just received from
Senator Paddock we note that there has
) een over 300,000 pensions granted to
oldiers , widows , dependent parents and
minor children in the last year , which
s more than double the number issued
ny year under Commissioner Black ,
nd yet some of our Independent papers
try to make the old soldiers think that
they have been badly abused by the Re
publican party , and that they love the
old boys dearly. This is all bosh.
Stand by the old party that has stood
by you. 30,000 pensions a month is a
good record.
Supt. of schools Prof. J. H. Bayston
has kindly furnished some figures con
nected with his work , and makes a par

divided January last. Total amount

1892 , $2,944.51 ; January amount ap
portioned to each district , $8.41 ; July ,
$9 74. Each pupil received in addi
tion to last amount in January sixty-
two cents , in July , seventy-two cents.
Number of children of school age
in county is 3,041. The total amount
to divide at this time , $16.45 is from
fines , the balance from the state.
The school election passed off with

largely attended.
Posters are up in this vicinity an
nouncing a Fourth of July celebration
at Box Elder and everybody is going
to be there.
The Scofield "hop" on Wednesday
evening , was attended by the usual
number of hoppers who claim it was
nothing short of a picnic , and speaking
of picnic reminds us of a time long ago
when the writer was to have attended
a picnic of a very pretentious sort , but
during an evil moment we did not say
thank you to a dear old lady acquaint
ance , who unfortunately was visiting at
our house , and for this breach of eti
quette we were told to stay at home.
It would be difficult matter to describe
our feelings just then , at any rate we
were determined to go. We remem
ber right well that the day of the pic
nic dawned fair and bright and old and
young who had long looked forward to
the event were making all sorts o ( prep
arations , the dear little girls had not
even tried on their pink dresses for
fear of the temptation of keeping them
on so long as to soil them , while the boys
with their white waists and linen pants ,
so much in vague at that time , were a
whole picnic within themselves. It so
happened of course that we possessed
one of the above named articles , just
one , and it was owing to that fact we
had cause for so much grief , so much
indeed that we could scarcely contain
ourself when on going up to get
ready on the sly we found that the
right sleeve of our white waist had been
completely severed from the rest of the
garment and nowhere to be found. We
must confess we wept bitterly at this
state of affairs and to behold the re
mainder of garment all starched and
ironed perfectly , and yet , on after con
sideration we thought it would not be
so bad if one sleeve was gone , we would
put it on and go any way , there would
would be so many people there and the
day so very warm , we would not be no
ticed , and put it on we did just as it
was , and it is only fair to presume that
we sallied forth as though we had all
the sleeves one could desire ; but on
nearing the grounds where the picnic
was in full progress our distress became
mors apparent and those who chanced
to look that way might have seen
forlorn looking chap who was continu
ally putting not only his hand but his
whole arm so deep in his trousers that
it must have appeared painful ; how
ever , we continued after an hour or so
to enjoy , ourself immensely , and being
being naturally reticent we have never
mentioned it before.
BANKSVILLE BUDGET.
A. D. Lincoln has returned east
again to his work.
Monday was the annual school elec
tion day , and demanded quite general
interest throughout the county.
The east part of Grant precinct have
to go to Gerver now-a-day to serve the
Lord , or in other words to go to church.
Today. Monday , was a hot one and
don't you forget it. The fine weather
we are having is booming the crops
and the way the farmers are fighting
the weeds with such energy they must
get good corn this year.
One of the great questions now be
fore the people is which is the ruler ,
the nation or one of its parts. One
says the nation is boss , another that
the state is boss ; as the irishman said
that was the reason why he and his
wife could not agree. One wanted to
be boss and the other wanted to be
boss.

GENUING BARGAINS !

Has the actual difference in the
way CLOTHING is put up ever oc
curred to you ? If it has not , a visit to
the various places where clothing is
sold will convince you that there is a
vast difference between "slop-shop J
hand-me-downs" and clothing ( not :
things ) made of good material and
nicely put together. Here is where
we have always made a strong point
and the fact that we are selling Men's and Boys' Suits
and Pants , trimmed , lined and sewed equal to any tailor
made suits , at prices as low , and often lower , than the "slop
shop" stuff explains in itself why we are doing so large a
clothing business. We have put forth an extra effort this
spring , and you will find our tables loaded down with the
prettiest line of MEN'S , BOYS' AND CHILDREN'S SUITS
to be found 011 this market , and if you are looking for good ,
honest goods at the lowest prices , we ask you to carefully
inspect this department. And in Hats , Shirts , Suspenders ,
Overalls , Jeans , Pants , SOCKS , Ties , Night Shirts , etc. , we
have just what you want and at a price that will meet your
views.
