Mrs. (tco. Hawkins, in Lincoln, when
Mr. Hawkins unset a lamp in hN eel

Hawkins spoke of this matter thinking
it worth remembering by everyone,
and it certainly N. Lincoln Republi
can. A Kansas paper tells about tho
troubles of a county officer as follows:
If there it to be a public improvement
of auy kind, or if aoy order, society,
or organization takes up subscriptions
for any purpose each of the county
officers is "put down" for a certaiu
sum. When the committee call to
"solicit" the amount they don't solicit
at all. They demand, they bulldoze,
they blackmail and then they rob their
victim. The sum demanded is always
exorbitant. Such committees are
merciless on a county officer especially
when he Is standing for ro-electiou.
The way they torture him with their
low, brutal, insinuating threats and
then bleed htm is barbarous. Lois of
men have served good, long terms in
the penitentiary for lesser crimes, If
you think a county officer hain't
troubles of his own you are mistaken.
He has lots of them more than his
shai e. Beaver Cily Ti Ibune.
The following from the Telescope
would apply to other towns as well as
Belleville: A long, lank, gawky
country boy came to town recently,
and after wandering up anil down the
streets for an hour or so, stopped in
front of an empty store building to
gazo at a window hanger advertise
ment of some show company. In a
little while he was joined by one of
tho town loafers, and before long by
another and then by two 01 three
more. The farmer said not a word, but
continued to lorfk. After half an hour
had passed, one of the most curious of
the loafers could not staud it anv
longer and ho asked the farmer boy
what he was looking at. Hubu turned
his head slowly and answered: "I
was (est trying to sec how long a fel
ler could 'tend to his own business in
this town without some duru fool
wautin' to know what he was doin'."

had become fully satisfied that it was
