Alout tills tlino of tho yenr peoplo 1ckIii to
think of BUinmcr Jaunts to to or inountnln
ami It reminds Disk Johnson of tliu Capital
hotel of his oxiwrienees nt Hull Inko Inst
summer. Ho wns manager of tliu Union
Pacific's big hotel nt Garfield Beach until It
nearly drove him crazy, aiiilsomu novel ex
periences ho had. If vnriuty Is tho spice of
llfo ho hnd lotR of spice. One dny In Juno It
was cold enough to snow, and ovcryhody
nt tho hotel stood shivering about tho
kitchen fires because there wero no others In
tho place. There wns one lone arrival that
dny, probably soino tourist from Snlt UUo
who hnd just that ono day in which to do
Garfleld Bench and did not want to miss
seeing It. On other days tho nttendntico ran
up ns high as 15,000, and any ono can wo
that It requited somo nlco figuring for a
lnndlord to order tho right amount of sup
plies. And in thiscaso tho matter was com
plicated by having to send to headquarters
nt Omaha for them. A requisition had to
ho mndo on Monday. Tho supplies wero
shipped on Friday ind reached tho Reach tho
following Monday. That sort of guessing
wns enough to distract any ordlnny fellow,
but thcru nro no reliable ttntistlcs of how
many malingers wero driven Insnuo.
V
Tho rush to tho Hcnch on foiiik days was a
regular golden harvest. Tho lunch counter
sold ns high ns $500 worth of sandwiches in u
single day. Tho bar took in $1K0 In tho
snmo time, but In other days the s-lx bar
tenders gathered In less than $!), just what
the help spsnt for drinks. Tlio party run
ning tho bar paid $0000 for tho prlvilego and
inndoa handsomo thing out of it. U cor go
Spencer, formerly of Lincoln, liought the
outside privileges for $1500. Ho sublet
enough of them to let himself out clear, and
ho nud a pnt tner retained the iwpcom priv
ilege. Thero was no dead stock In this busi
ness, and they made a profit of $3000, netting
a handsome income for each of them.
What a qneer thing this base ball enthusi
asm is. In almost any othor affair enthusi
asm has some stability. The backers of a
political leader are liable to stay by him
through thick and thin, unless ho Is undenln
blv dead. So too. In thn rnw nf ninrlllta
hK- bones and otner things that command public
Bumiraiiou. uuc wuu a ooso oail emu well
it is about as unstable as a summercloud. If
the club wins repeatedly it is wildly oxcited.
If tho club looses it sneaks into an unfathom
able hole. Your base ball crank is a queer
fellow.
Speaking of cranks, you ought to get Char
ley Mosber started if you want an intellect
ual treat. You never knew a banker, a real,
genuine banker with the business truly a
part of his nature ,',w ho did not want to re
duce every airalr of life to figures, nud
Brother Mother is no exception to tho rule.
He can tell you how many hits n club must
have and how many errors It may hnvo to
win the pennant. Ho will tell you how many
hits a club will average to a gnme, and, if
you dispute it, will prove that the club with
the highest average doesn't excell tho club
with tho lowest by more than ono base hit to
the game. In the same manner ho will tell
you to a fractional nicety tho dllferenca in
the average number of errors per game. He
will tell you that '25 per cent. (.250) is a good
batting average He will insist that n ball
player will average four times at bat er
game. Consequently he will arguo that if n
player averages a base hit for every game he
is in he is doing good batting, tie will tell
you that a club will have to stand nbout .000
to win the pennant. Ho will show that thero
Is so little difference in the butting and field
ing of rival teams in an association that tho
club winning tho pennant will have to do it
by superiority in stealing buses and making
sacrifice hits. I hnvo no doubt, if ho under
took to do it, that lie could tell in a decimal
of from three to ten figures just how much a
one, two or three base hit or a sncrlflco or a
stolen baso would count towards winning tho
pennant.
In tho business world men who tnko
chances figure on averages or probabilities,
and to find these they take the records of tho
past. The entire Insurauco business is based
on probabilities, someti meg known as "risk"
and "expectancy", nnd tho companies hnvo
gotten nt it by tnklng actual experience cov
ering a long period of ycnis. A banker like
Mr. Mosher, who dips into nil sorts of enter
prises, figures on tho future by what has Iko-i
done In tho past by others. So In figuring on
this base bull business ho has taken tho
records of pust years as reduced to figures,
where they can all be taken in with a little
study, nnd ho readily figures out aveiuges.
A club may run high or low for awhile, hut
in tho end tho average will come out about
even. Hutnnu cawcliy is rather u stable
quantity, and It does'nt vary very much.
The more ono learns of Gov. Thayer's life
the greater must bo his impression of tho
important mu t thut gentleman hasp!ucd in
the history of this state. Ho was one of tho
chief Instruments In securing the ndiuUshm
of Nebraska to btatehood. In 1600 ho took a
constitution to Washington, but the bill ad
mitting tho ttato was vetoed by President
Johnson. Tho follow Iiil' winter ho took
nnother constitution to congress, and this
time tho stumbling block was Senator Sum
ner. The constitution contained tho womU
'whltonules" in rofeirlug to Its c ti.J is
and Sunnier, who had been championing tho
cause of the colored people, ohjvciul tJ iho
use of tho word "wnlto." Tlpro was no
ilmo to change tho constitution, and General
Tliuyer pioposed u method to get mound tho
obstacle. Ho suggesttsl tlmt tho legUlatllio
of Nebraska, thou in ssiou, piss an act
pledging Its people never to const rua the
constitution sj as to biranyono from cltiitm-
ship mi account of color or previous ooudl
tlou of servitude, Sumner ngrcvd to tho
compromise and cotmrotM passed tho bill,
(leu. Thayer, who had boon elected United
Stales sennlor for tho now state, by tho way,
returned to Nebraska and secure! tho l is
Migu of tho pledge. He proseutel a ivrllllod
copy of It to President Johnson, That gen
tleman already saw tho gathering clouds of
political war and Impeachment, and rather
than stieiigtlieu tho enemy ho signed tho hill
admitting Nebraska. That was in Fob. 1S07.
Senator Thayer and his colleague did net be
gin their term, until March Ith.
A case enmo before tho governor tho other
day that displayed remarkable Integrity for
theso days, David Kogors of Pawnee county
was convicted of shooting Hoss Monro with
intent to maim him and was sentenced to
hang. His iielglilHirs Joined almost unani
mously in nil effort to get tho governor to
ropilovo his Fcnteiico of n year In the ponN
tontlnry. Kogors "wns an elderly man,
while Moore was a strong, healthy young
fellow. They had had several quarrels hi
which Monro wns tho aggressor, and In tho
last of those Rogers shot him in tho arm to
in event an assault. Roger gave himself up,
but had two chances to escape. Mooro oliereil
to accent money and leave tho country, nud
tho old man's friends olTerod to raise tho
money for him, but ho declined. If he had
fought tho enso ho would not lave boon con
victed, in tho opinion of tho prosecuting at
lornoy, hut ho insisted on going on the stand
and telling u truthful story that sealed his
own conviction. Virtually tho slmotfug was
nu net of solf-defenso, but technically it wns
mi assault with intent to do bodily harm,
nud the jury returned n verdict accordingly.
The judge gave him tho lightest possible sen
tence, but ho will not go to tho penitentiary
because Gov. Thayer mercifully pardoned
him beforo ho was taken from tho county
jail. A fow yenrs ago Rogers' went on the
bond of u man who contracted to build nu
$18,000 theatre nt l'nwneo City. The con
tractor found It a losing job and sklpinxl
tho country. Tho plans wero ultored nfter
the bond wns mndo nnd Rogers could have
evndcd his responsibility If ho had bo desired.
Ho insisted on making his bond good and it
cost him fS.OOO. It ruined him financially
but It saved his honor untarnished. Acts of
this kind won tho cstocm of his neighbors in
a remarkable degroo and his case is a notable
one.

What a pity tho street car companies havo
to tear up the living in patches as thoy aro
doing. The relaying Is miserablo In places,
and it really seems as though somo city olll-
clal should bo charged with tho duty of com
polling a better job. It seems to bo necessary
to connect tlio rails in order to compiow mo
circuit for electricity and it Is dono by bor
ing holes near tho ends of tho rails and con
necting them by two wires which aro burled
under tho paving or lietweon tho paving and
tho timber which supports tho rail. An ef
fort has been mndo to got tho electric plant
in operation in timo to run tho cars to tho
Sunday ball park for tomorrow's gamo.
Somo day, somo day, the postal authorities
at Washington will realize that Lincoln Is a
grat and growing city and they will give
us decent treatment by allowing our Olllco
enough clerks to do tho business properly and
promptly. In tho meantime tho peoplo may
help tho matter along by a continuous kick
to tho hlgh-muck-a-mucks, always lolng
careful to call attention to tho fact that tho
fault lies in the insufficiency of tho help at
this office.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Kdllor Possessed with it Very Worthy
Motto.
Ruritost'iXTivi!. Tho first night wo en
tered this town wo slept under n wagon on
Apachu nveiiiie. We felt tough, ivv looked
tough and wo had Just llftccn cents cash
capital. We'd walked twenty-eight in I led
that day to got somewhere, and after get
ting thero thu prospects didn't seem to Im
prove. Wo worn sustained, however, by n
determination to cniim out on top ot the
crowd If wo lost both legs In thu hustle.
That determination carried us through,
From tho very llrst Issue of Tho Kicker
wu took for our motto "Ex ilouu fiinui
semper vlvnt," which used to menu In our
neighborhood In New Knglniid, "Tell thu
truth without fear or favor, oven If you
nuvor get an office or own n dog." Wo
hnvo stuck to that motto, and whllo It haft
mndo nu somo enemies It has also mndo us
a host of friends and u power In tho land.
In pursuance of our policy wo now wish to
say ii word nbout "Thu Great Arizona
Homo Provider company," which Is adver
tising extensively In tho cast. IU latest
scheme Is toadvertlso city Iota Iu "llluo Hill
City" at tvvunty dollars ench. The "city"
Is represented ns n hustling young town
three railroads, two bunks, ono theater,
3,000 peoplo, nnd bound to bo tho Chicago
of tho west. Wo rodu out to tho site thu
other dny. When wo rcturnnd tho com
pany offered UH twcuty-flve dollars to keep
still. Wo denounce It ns a fraud from top
to bottom, nud warn tho publlo against in
vesting.

heyn: "Don't It's a waste of time and
raw material. The goods are cotton mixed
and the dyo won't stand. Come off the
perch and drop your claims, nnd lot every
body sine you up for what you really are
a lot of old (lend bents who ought to be
driven to the Mind hills."
In this connection we wish to briefly re
fer to the little affair of Sunday, which our
contemporary will no doubt misstate in
his usual fusldon. We were sitting on tho
steps of tho postofflce waiting for the plnco
to oteii nt tho usual hour, when mi indi
vidual known nrotind town ns "Holy Smoko
Bengal Tiger Steve Johnson" cjimo along.
No ono knows whore ho enmo from, and
some folks have liceu very much afraid of
hlin. Ho picked his teeth with n grizzly's
claw, carried n bowlo knlfo and claimed to
shoot two handed.
Iu writing up "Tho Bluffers" ot this
town n fuw weeks ugo wu usked this Smoky
Tiger, or whatever ho calls himself, what
prison ho had run from? He's been prom
ising tho toys to slice off our right ear,
hnvo it broiled in Hill Tnylor'a restaurant,
nnd then publicly feed It to Stevo Akcr's
Virginia foxhound. Wo haven't been
greatly worried, nnd wo didn't skip a cog
when wo saw tho Tiger rolling along to
ward us. Ha enmo to a halt In front of us,
and tried to look awully wicked real old
Rocky Mountain wicked, with tho gora
thrown in us n chrotno.
Wo didn't shiver.
Then ho smljcd a facsimile of the grin
Kit Carson used to put on ns ho counted
up his dead Injuns and whistled ior tho
buzzards to begin work.
We didn't unwind or lose any buttons.
Then ho sent his deep baso roar down to
his feet and brought it up again to tell us
that our car wns his. Ho ranched for it,
but ho never got there. Wo rose up nnd
knocked Smoky off his pins nt ono punch,
nnd then wo walked on him nnd sat down
on him, nnd hammered him from head to
heel until ho roared like n calf nud whined
like n coyote. We have his two revolvers
and IkivvIo knife nu our table as we write.
We are waiting for him to prove projierty
nud take them away.
Perhaps it would lie appropriate to ob
serve In this connection that there will bo
a little Ik-u or gathering or convention or
some such thing on Pawnee square Satur
day evening. Most of our prominent citi
zens will bo there. Several of them will
bo provided with ropes. There will bo vari
ous committees apKiiuttsf to wait on vari
ous disagreeable Individuals In this town,
nud ask them how long they intend to re
main. If longer than two hours tho com
mittee will bring them to tho lce nnd they
will 1h argued with. Thu "Bengal HlufTer"
is on the list to recelvu callers, M. Quad
