What with a supposed caseof contaK
oils dtnease in the Waiihlnfflon build
img and a real case of marriBge lu the
Lincoln building, the board ot educa
tion has been in hot water the pubt
few daya. Every member U earnestly
praying that neither one of these con
ditions will become epidemic.
The longer 1 live the more deeply 1
mat convinced that that which makes
the difference .between one man and
another, , between the weak Htitl the
powerful, the 'great mid the iuslgniil
cant, la Energy.
Invincible determination uud pur
pose once formed and then Death or
Victory. This quality will do any
thing that is to he done in the world,
nnd no twodegged creature can become
a man without it. Uuxton.
Mover forget you ure a part of the
town, and that your own deportment
helps to make up the strangers es
timate of the place. Sell all you can
and buy all you can at home. Every
dollar that is sent or carried away
from home makes the town that much
poorer. If you have the means Invest
in something that will give somebody
employment. Do not kick at a pro
posed improvement simply because it
is not at your door.
We have been shown a design for an
upholstered front gate which seems
destined to become very popular. The
foot board is cushioned and there Is a
warm aoapstone on each aide; the
inside Htcp being adjustable, so that a
short girl can bring her lips to the line
of any given moustache without trou
ble. If the gate la occupied at 10:30
p. m. an iron hand extends from one
gate post, takes the young mail by the
left ear, turna him around and he la
at once started toward home by a steel
foot. The girl can If she likes, set
thla part at a later hour than llli.'lo.
Most merchants realize the value of
attractive, origin it window displays
ill connection with their seasonable
trode. The .stoie window li at all
times one of the most valuable store
adjuncts and trade getters that the
merchant can make use. All attrac
tive window displays always draw the
attention of the shopper, and If, bi
sides being attractive, It contains any
suggestions, it is bound to sell th
goods. If the merchant or any of his
clerks, who may have more talent along
this line, wilt devote a little earliest
thought and time to getting up a
aeries of attractive, suggestive and
original displays, he will find that
it will tend to materially swell his re
celpta.
Don't be afraid to do your duty be
cause some oue ridicules or opposes
you A man who has opinions of his
own and the courage to advocate them
will be suie to have opposition in this
world because he runs across or con
trary to other people's opinions; but
just keep right ahead if your cause is
right anil your conscience clear. Don't
worry about what other people say;
life Is tJo short for that. .Some will
abuse you through envy, others for the
want of principle and some because
they honestly differ from you; but if
you keep right on openly, manfully
and intelligently, and with tour prop
er diguity of character, honei-ty of
purpose and self-respect, those who
diifer from you will respect your
opinions.
senator iiummci uas introduced a
bill iu the legislature making it possi
ble for county commissioners to erect
a court house whenever conditions de
mand it. His bill provides that three
mills of the levy be set aside for court
house purposes which will not be in
addition to the general levy. In other
words there would be no more taxes
levied but a portion of them would be
set aside for a court house.
We see no reason why this bill
should not become a law. As a matter
of justice to the county board they
should have the power to provide for
the safe keeping of all records or else
they should be relieved of all responsl
billty. As it is the commissioners are
held responsible for the records but if
they have no power to spend money
for thut purpose tli-y are unfairly
saddled with care.

BE ON THE SAFE SIDE
J , It is true that you are not likely to lose your -J!

J- are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN NOT to lose them m
ili when you deposit where you have the additional fli
lit protection of the State Guaranty Law. Such 1
jjj protection is offered you here. W
Jj It is surely "good business" to deposit where JB
JE you get absolutely guaranteed protection, in oref-
crence to placing money in a bank that guaran- jj
iif tees nothing.

We understand that there is some
talk of forming a farmer's cn-operative
association in this city for the purpose
of conducting a geueial merchantite
business. It seems to us that such a
movement is not desirable at this time
in as much as we arealrcady well sup
plied with excellent stores of that
character. We believe that there is
room for a live and ten cent store. A
store of that kind would not enter in
to competition with a field that is al
ready filled.
Advocates of the single tax idea arc
springing up on every hand and it may
be but a question of time when this
system' will be adopted When we
come to think of it we feel that there
is something wrong with our taxing
system. For iustance what makes
land valuable In a city is not how
much grain it will return but how
many people pass by. The more
people there are congregated together
in one place the higher the value of
the laud. As a matter of fact the laud
ought to bear all the burden of tax
tion. Take for Instauce the four new
buildings that have just been erected
on Webster street, they are certainly
an improvement but the owners will
be fined for their enterprise because
they must pay a higher tax. If the
laud alone were taxed there woud be
no punishment inflicted for building
handsome business bouses and com
fortable homes.
