We beg to acknowledge the receipt of
several dollars on subjeripiton this
week and while we feel very thankful
fr theso favors we will this week ask
the indulgence of our subscribers both
on account of our lateness and lack of
news. Owing to the lack of help we
were unable to put our news matter
iuto typo. We have made every en
deavor to obtain moro help and believe
that we will here after not only furnish
the paper on time but will be able to
maintain our reputation of publishing
the newsiest paper in the county.
There is seldom a week passes, and
hardly a day when citizens are not cal
led upon to contribute something for
cbarlty.s sake. It ia always the mer
chants who are asked to shoulder this
varied andgratuitous giving. Some peo
ple seem to think that those who are in
business can pick up dollars anywhere
and ought to contribute willingly and
liberally every time they asked. As a
rule dollars are not plentiful with buts
ness people than with any other. Just
remember they have troubles of their
own. Beg your money for awhile of the
lank owners and retired men who have
plenty of money drawing interest. The
business men would appreciate the
change. Pawnee llepubliean.
We have had the privelege of read
ing three of the "Simon Sophead"
letters which have been sent to differ
est people in this county and will say
that they are receiving a great deal
more attention than they deserve. Iu
each of the letters, which we read,
some reference is made to the death of
President McKiniey, claiming, in effect,
that it was the Populists who were
responsible for that dastardly deed
No one but a person who was trying to
injure the Republican etue would write
such a letter as such fooluh letter
could only have the effect of causing
PoputUts to tiek to their own ticket

they do not come from any one wh
has any thing to do with the Hepudlican
side of the campaign, but are Uaued by
Mno one on the out side and is done oy
ome private individual.
The date set for the holding of the
Vioat o invention has been changed
from September 27th to Friday October
3rd. 1902, owing to the fact that Presi

Then they point a letter from J, A
011i, Jr., of Vnlley county to Mr I..
U. IVislger. In this letter Mr Ollis
says that ho was the best posted linn,
on the ill's ntid out's, of any nitiii up
there, meaning I presume in the House.
If lie wns, the !imii journal does- not
disclose tho facts In his letter he s ts
thcio were two classes of men in t e
lnt Legislature One class voting for
n recoiii foi tin uwlve-. and then vote
iu n way to kill it anil the others ti jiug
accomplish some thing for the people
Yes! Tho House Journal and the Senate
Journal disclose the wheio tibouts of
tho nbovo classes nnd it llnds two in
Webster county, Poisiger and Pitney of
the llrst class. Then he says it wns
through Mr. Poisiger'setToi ts that house
roll No. 255, the Oilis bill was sot
through the house, that the other bill,
meaning the Sprcchcr bill was sought
to bo killed by its introducer. But the
House Journal sho'vs that Mr. Sprcch
cr "smoked" the railroad committe out
and brought bis bill to a voto beforo
Mr. Ollis did his, although he, Mr. Ollis,
was tho smartest man there and had
the help of L. C. Peisiger as well. He
says tho Sprecher bill (tho bill reducing
rates all along the line) had been dead
for two weeks before the voto on it was
taken, this goes toshow then, that there
was a conspiracy to kill all anti
monoply legislation and when tho vote
was taken, on tho Sprecher bill, it was
killed by such men as L. C. Peisiger
voting against it. But what was the
matter with Mr. Ollis that ho did not
get his bill before tho bouso while the
other was dead, as ho says, he having
the help of L. C. Peisiger also tho help
of a committo as well Where were
theso gentlemen! Could it bo possible
that thoy were out exercising their rail
road passes? Speak up gents. Let us
havo the truth, although tho House and
Sonate Journal's are sworn to by the
Secretary of State, yet we suppose the
people are looking to you and the edit
or of the Nation for the truth, if so they
will be sadly disapointed.
Read my letter again it miy be the
means of reforming some of you.
Like Joseph of old I can interpert the
Ollis letter. L. C. Peisiger was on the
railroad committee through whose
bands all freight bills had to pass. I
see the Sprecher bill which reduced
freight tates all along the line, go into
their bands and after looking it over
I see them jump on it stamp and pound
it till it is almost dead, then taken
in'o the House where it is smothered
with fusion votes. I see them go to the
committee room get the one leged stock
rate bill, tho Ollis bill, and rush it
through tho house, thinking perhaps,
to cover up their treachery, then send
this Ollis bill to the Senate, there tack
on an amendment and on the last day
it comes to vote and is knocked out
by the Pitney's dodging.
Any more letters you want sized up
gentlemen? Send them along.

ONE STEP MORE
Will be fatal to the sleep-walker. Will
he draw back or will he take the final,
fatal step? A great many people are in
peril like the sleep-walker. They are
diseased. The disease is progressing
day by day. The time comes when one
more step away from health ia fatal.
The man who has suffered from indi
gestion or gastric trouble
foes some night to a
inner and returns home
to find he has taken that
last step from health
which can never be tak
en back.
To neglect the cure
of indigestion or some
other form of stomach
trouble is dangerous. It
is also inexcusable. Dr.

Perhaps no wild iiiiliiuil Is more fa

dotted with the xmnll piles of enrth
which mark the doorway to his home.
Tho woodcliuck prefers n hillside or u
knoll In which to dig his hole, for heie
lie can easily make the end of his den
higher than the hcglnntru:, thus avoid
ing the danger of being drowned out.
What could bo more unlike In general
appearance than n woodcliuck and n

The iiittuu' of the food of the wood
chuck Is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor Is It of
mich n kind that It can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this
creature during the winter seems to be.
therefor.', one of "sleep long nnd
soundly or starve." During the win

slow nnd feeble that they cannot be

Among the many names for cattle
none Is commoner than those which
come from the roots mti nnd bu, "to
bellow." Hence we have the Akkadian
nm, "bull;" the Turkic cn-ek, "cow;"
the Egyptian nm, "cattle," nnd Jhe
Mongol bukii, "bull," but a more dis
tinctive word Is tor, which seems to
mean probably "horned" nnd which
nppenrs not only as taurus, but ns the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor.
The bull, whether tamed or wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats arc also sugges
tive of connection and Include tho Ar
yan abt, the Semitic at and probably
the Akkadian uz.
For sheep perhaps the oldest word Is.
the Egyptian ba, but there Is a word
for lamb which seems to be widely
distributed, as the Semitic kor, the
Greek kar and the Finnic karl. proba

"guard," as meaning a herded flock.
From the same root come words for
pasture, no doubt allied. Scottish Re

there lived a family which had one of

The domestic novel may be said to
have begun when the worthy printer
of Derby publUhotl his "History of
Pamela." The way that the Idea of
writing such a lxok occurred to him
Is slgiillkant. lie Imtl been asked by
a bookseller to compile n complete let
ter writer that might serve the ladles
of the middle classes, who were not
versed In polite literature, ns a model
for corresjMindoiiee. RlcliiinUon took
n servant girl as the Imaginary corre
spondent, and then, Introducing n nar
rative to enhance the Interest of the
letters, he produced his Pamela, with
the Intention of both Instructing and
Interesting his renders, so that they
might learn simultaneously the art of
letter writing and the nrt of virtue.
The novel began, therefore, In n series
of letters "the most natural ns well
ns the most improbable way of re
counting a narrative." nccordlnc to one
of Its earliest critics. KIchntdMUi

The I'bd of the ItlKht Foot.
That the right foot Is, like tho right
hand, ordinarily more mobile nnd nt
the same time stronger than tho left
might be attributed to tho more fre

Itself even to the constitution nnd the
left extremltfes are asserted to be more
liable to disease than the right. The
more dltllcult movements In stage danc

foot, nnd it Is generally considered
that unless double practice bo nccord
cd to the left leg nn ungraceful prefer

the dnncers In their public perform

the right than with the left foot. There
seems to be n greater capacity for pro

One Mlaerr of Analo-Iadlan Life.
Every night at dinner the Anglo-Indian
holds n kind of levee. The In
sects vftilch attend dance gayly round
the lamp, nnd one has to watch one's
plate nnd glass carefully lest some of
the Insects should dance Into tbem.
There Is one Insect a little, flat
brown, shining creature which emits
the worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food, the whole Is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for If one be
squashed the whole room becomes
filled wit'i Its disgusting smelt and Is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable Insects fly about
with Impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and Inwardly sigh "Spero meliora."

The Colon Jack.
British newspapers complain that
Englishmen often hang the union jack
upside down.
To ascertain which Is the "top" nnd
which the "bottom" of a union Jack
look at the diagonal red cross (the
cross of St. Patrick), nnd you will note
that the white "edgings" to It. which
nre really the diagonal white cross of
Bt Andrew, upon which It Is placed,
are much broader on one side than on
the other.
The flag Is right side up when both
these broad white "edgings" are above
the red diagonals on the side next to
the pole, whereas If you get the two
narrow "edgings" of white on the top.
on the Bide next the pole, your flag is
upside down.
St. Cathfcert'a Comb.
It was formerly the custom to bmw
combs with the dead, which clearly
shows that these articles of tho toilet
bad sacred significance in the eyes of
the people of the old world. Tne comb
burled with St Cutbbert and now pre
served at Durham, England, Is of
Ivory and measures 64 inches in
length and 4fa inches In width. It Is
ascribed to the eleventh century and
has a double row of teeth, divided by

Familiar Prorcrba.
Mr. Churton Collins, in the New Lib
eral Review, traces the ancestry of
some of our most familiar proverbs.
"It Is a wise child that knows his own
father" is from the Odyssey; "Famil
iarity breeds contempt" is a saying of
Tlutarch; "Set a thief to catch a thief
Is of Cato's coinage; "One swallow
doesn't make a summer" Is cited by
Plato as already proverbial, as was
"His bark is worse than his bite" when
Qulntus Curtlus wrote It down.
