Something Worth Striving :
Chicago Times Herald : "What , "
asked the lady who believes in the eter
nal rights of women , as she sot down
the glass from which she had moisten
ed her throat , and looked defiantly at
her hearers , "What has the little girl
to look forward to in this country ?
What possible glory Is there to fire
her with ambition ? The poorest boy
that is born in our land today , " she
shouted , shaking a fat forefinger nt a
baldheaded man who sat near the stage
and looked as if DP was sorry that ne
had come , "may aspire to an ofllco
which carries with it more power than
is wielded by any prince or king or em
peror on earth. There is something
for him to live for , to strive for. There
is always the glorious Incentive that
makes for greatness. However humble
his surroundings , there Is the cvci
present possibility that he may some
day stand In the fierce white light of
publicity with the destiny of the nation
in his hands.
"But for the fair haired girl who
plays with him , what glorious hope la
there ? What dreams of future great
ness are there for her to dream ? What
does the future hold for her , that she
should consecrate herself to the
achievement of the sublime ? Degraded
at the very threshold of life , what as
pirations may find lodgement in her
soul ? "
She paused for. breath , and also tu'
permit the ladles present to applaud
her eloquence.
"I repeat , " she shouted , after the
storm of approval had died away (
"what glory does the future hold for1
her ? "
"Well , " said the baldheaded man , ,
"she might strive to become worthy of ,
one of those cornhusk bonnets that the
Kansas people are giving away. "
The meeting then broke up in con- '
fusion.
An apparatus has been devised for
automatically photographing people as
they enter shops and other places.

in this county and inoculated fifty

district near Ithaca on the farms of
H. K. Marcy , August H. Smith and
Herman Hankie. Mr. Hankie's hogs
show no indications of cholera or other
disease but the other two gentleman's
yards have the disease. To thorough
ly test the serum after a reasonable
length of time some of Mr. Hankie's
well hogs will be turned In with the
sick ones in other yards. The farmers
out there are of the opinion that if
the inoculation should fail it will not
be Dr. Morrow's fault for he did his
work very thoroughly. He took some
blood from the sick hogs on Mr. Mar-
cy's farm to the laboratory for exam
ination. This matter will be watched
with a great deal of Interest by farm
ers of Saunders county.

BEATRICE , Neb. , Sept. 7. The
county board of supervisors mot in
special session to consider the court
house bond refunding matter. There
has been considerable opposition to
the plan which was first proposed ,
which was to refund the $94.000 of
bonds and make them ' payable only
after twenty years , but State Treas
urer Meserve has come forward with
a proposition which will probably not
meet with nny opposition. Ho pro
poses to take the bonds nt 3V per cent
interest and make the payment of the
same optional with the county after
a short term of years. This will enable
the county to pay off the bonds more
rapidly than under the first plan pro
posed and do away with the neces
sity of a large sinking fund.

During the past few months , the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has ma
terially extended the runs of the pas
senger locomotives on through trains.
Formerly engines were changed on an
average every 100 or 150 miles. It was
thought that the mountain grades of
the Daltlmoro and Ohio railroad would
prevent an extension of the runs. How
ever , the experiment was made. It has
proved successful and reduced the
number of locomotives formerly re
quired by twenty-four , which can bo
used In other branches of the service
and save the purchase of more motlvo
power. Under the now plan , locomo
tives arc double crowed and make from
7,000 to 8,000 miles a month , as against
3.GOO to 4,000 under the former method.
The best qualified to judge reckon
that the fortune loft by A. T. Stewart ,
which ho left to the care of the late
Judge Hilton , amounted to about $ -10-

Stewart fortune survived her ten
