Friday arid Saturday and the way j they sold clothing was simply a cau tion. It is stated that a in the twoj days they sold about f 700.<i0 worth of goods. They did not do auy advertising in town but distributed over three thousand hand bills in the neighboring towns and in the most remote parts of the county. They came here and paid the re quired fee for license and opeued business iu the Taylor building on the south side of the square. The siock was advertised as being left oil the hands of the lailroad com pany by reason of a great wreck. It caught the people and they came from far and near to take advantage of the great bargains. They did. seemingly, a good straight business and sold very reasonable. The lib eral use of printers’ ink brought the great crowd, and, as the manager stated to us, he only wanted the crowd to do the business. The goods which he handled would sell themselves; and they did self them selves. Everybody was allowed to go in, ransack the counters, select what they wanted, pay the “special bargain” price and go on thetr way rejoicing. We asked him if he thought it paid to advertise to which he responded that he paid out not less than *’50. per month for adver Using. In some cases where they operated for two or three weeks at a time they employed the columns of the press as well as the liber al use of hand bills, and in all cases the result was very satisfactory. He said that if he was established iu business in aDy town he would make it a point to do double the amount of advertising of any mer chant iu that town, as the advertis ing of special bargains never fails to attract the people, and they will often come for a distance of fifty miles to avail themselves of the opportunity to save money. On reading a sketch of Mr. Mick ey’s life one feels that he must be a man of enterprise and force of char acter. He was the tirst in many of the things out of which have sprung the present strength and greatness of the state. He was one of the tirst settlers in llackberry precinct, Polk county, where he took up a home stead in 1808. He wus the first treasurer of his school district, lie helped to organize the Methodist Episcopal church in Osceola. He laid the foundation of the Polk county agricultural society and was its tirst treasurer. He built the tirst frame house in ^he county. He was among the first to move toward the payment of the debt of tlie Nebraska Wesleyan uni versity and did more than any other mm by his personal donations and Ids appeal to others, to lift that debt. He has always been progressive as a business man and as a farmer and stock raiser, ins farm and herds standing among the first in this s< c tion of the stale. Mr. Mickey has had public « xptr (once as well as a valuable business training. He was treasurer of Polk county for teu tears, was & tuembet 0 of the Nebraska legislature in 1881, and has been a frequent visitor to the capital ns a member of the Wes leyan university. He la a type of successful Nebraskan. He knows the state from the sod house period up to the present day. He has gone through the rigors of home steading a quarter section, he has founded a successful banking bus iness and he has of late years devot ed his attention to the raising of tine stock that represents the present day devolepment of Nebraska farm ing enterprise. It would be hard to find a mare representative Nebraskan or a more clearheaded, sensible, safe man to put in charge of the business affairs of his state than J. H. Mickey, the next governor.—State Journal. Many Americans believed in 1850 that California never could become Americanized, just as many Amer icans belived in l88i» that Porto Kico and Hawaii never could be come Americanized. California is now one of the most thoroughly American states in the Union, and Porto Rico lias already made as rapid progress in American methods as California made three )ears after the Mexican war. According to the statements of Governor Hunt, there is no discuss ion now among the Porto lticaus as to American sovereignty, hut the local political quarrels turn on the proper forms and policies of Amer ican government in the island. No one mentions or contemplates any party policy that is not American. Amer ican methods have been adopted in politics, in business, in education, in taxation, and in legislation. In 1898 there were 538 schools in the island. On Febuary 1, 1902, there were 930. On January 1, 1898, there were 22,295 pupils en rolled in the schools. On Febuary 21, 1902, there were 4 1,942. Under the Spanish rule pupils were obliged to pay tuitiou fees. Now the public schools are free, with a uniform course of study, In general the schools are as well equiped as those in the United Stales. Under Span ish rule there was seldom any money in the Porto Rican treasuery. At the close of the fical yeai, on June 3o, 1902, there was $74,931 of in sular revenue in the treasuery, and on June 30. 1902, $114,900. This indicates that the revenue system is working as well in Porto Rico as in auy other territory in the United Slates. Under the American rule, Porto Rican trade has increased not only with the mainland of the United States, but with foreign countries. In the fical year just closed Porto Rico sent $8,297,420 worth of prod ucts to American ports and $4,592, 505 worth abroad. In 1901 Porto Rico sent to us $38, 197 worth of straw hats; in 1902, $204,555 worth. Last year there came to us from Porto Rieo cigars and tobbacos to the value of $290, Ool. This year Porto Rico sent us sugar to the value of $4,592,000, This year the value was $1,570,986. Governor Hunt reports that the new municiple laws in force have secured fiscal and sanitary con dilions, and that the bonds of sever al cities have sold at a premium in the New York market. The gov ernor also insists that the civil code In Porto Rico is as good as that in California, and that the island’s new corporation laws are among the best in the United States. In short Porto Rico is an Amer ican territory with all the trade marks of American progress and American enlightenment.
