_
A traveling clothing establish-!
ment operated in this town last!
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.
