Great is the debt of g-ratitude
due the man who makes monc ) '
in business or prbfession and
spends it on farming as a fad.
He is laughed at-to be ure-by
the real yeomanry of his neighborhood -
borhood as one to whom the
purpose and value of money as a
proper means to the accomplishment -
ment of a legitmate and desirable
end are wholly unknown , but he
is none the less a public bene-
factor. 'l'he money he IIfools
away" is no barren loss. It
benefits somebody , generally
several somebodies , and the
spender finds physical recuperation -
ation and mental repose in "play-
ing" agriculturalist. Instead of
laughling at him give him the
hand of honest and sincere welcome -
come , He may have a suspicion
. that farming is not exactly a
and-in case-he is
pastime , - any -
pretty certain to put himself in
the way of neighborly suggestion -
gestion and sympathy.
There still a ppears to be con-I
siderable apprehenston touching
the real scope and purpose of.
the Sherman anti-trust. act in its
application to corporate mono ply.
Briefly stated , the act goes far
beyond the common law in the
prevention of monopoly in that it
prohibits any and all agreements
in partial restriction of competition -
tition irrespective of their reasonableness -
onableness and economic effects.
An amendment to the act which
would permit of reasonable restraint -
straint of competition , under
proper federal reulation , of unreasonable , -
reasonable re tra1Ut is urged as
desirable.
The receiver of a banking
house. wrecked by missmanage-
ment , has paid depositors in full
and now proposes to give them
interest on the various sums withheld -
held from them by the institu-
tion's collapse. Already there is
talk of presenting him with a
medal , but a little later the now
grateful populace will no doubt
register an emphatic protest if
the court resposible for his ap.
pointment sees fit to allow him
more than a dollar amI six-bits a
day for his time and eminent
j\ services.
One of the most important re.
forms leading up to the wi11in
acceptance of jury service on th (
part of the average citizen wouh'
seem to lie in the prompt remov
al by the state of time-wast ,
ing technecalities of procedure
Minor improvements might bl
suggested , but the crying need i
for effective and permanent re
formation 111 trial methods whic1
tend to the elimination of th. .
evil complained of.

It is not the site of a town , but
its character that mal < es it a dc-
sir a ble place in wh ich to 1i ve. A
livc , progressive town is a desirable -
able enc to live tn and a town
may bc small and yct be prosperous -
ous and progressive. Every citizen -
zen in a town should he interested -
ed in its prosperity and personally -
ly confront and condemn those
who Ilknock , " because the best
wa y to hel p ones town is to always -
ways speak well of it , regardless
of facts. It is true patriotism to
stand by your own town and interests -
terests that affect the town
should affect every citizeu.
'rIte decision of the Indiana
jurist who lately held that loud
snoring constitutes an unlawful
disturbance of the peace , will be
read with interest by many.
Perchance , too , it may serve as a
salutary and wholsol11e precedent ,
but as to this It must be admitted
that the Iisyllabus" still leaves
room for doubt.

Custer County Real Estate.
'I'he list of real estate transfers.
published in the Rnl'UBLICAN
each week , is sufficient evidence
that there is somcthing doing in
real estate in Custer county.
And those who have followed
these publications , which was
inaugurated b.r the RUPUDLICAN
a year ago , will notice that there
are now twice as many each week
as there were then , also that the
consideration of the transfers are
higher , per acre and for town
lots than they were a , year ago.
And the prices given are not
ficticious , but genuine values.
This is evidenced by the fact
that none of them are too high
w ten the real value of Custer
county soil is considered , even
though the prices have advanced
and seem rather high , yet there
is every' reason to believe prices
will still go higher as .the news
of the wonderful fertility of land
in this country is spread abroad.
Recently H. Lomax sold his
home place , 640 in section 25 and
36 , town 14 , range 21 , which is
25 miles south of Broken Bow , to
Ddniel M. Bransetter , tor the
sum of : f30OOO.00-almost M7
per acre-and this price was
practically for land , as the buildings -
ings are unostentatious.
Last week BErt J. Hogers sold
to P. 1-1. Marley ( ,30 acres Iving
about 8 miles southwest of M son
City , for the sum of * 22,000.00 ,
nearly * 35 per acre.
' 1'his week the C W. Bowman
r al estate agency in this city
sold 480 acres of land in Goheen
Valley , 15 miles north of Broken
Bow , belonging to C. S. Francis
to C. E. Bates for $21CIOO.00-
an even $45 per acre. ' 1'his is ,
perhaps , the highest pric ever
paid for land in Custer county so
far from a railroad , but is a sure
_ evidence that values are on the
_ upward march.

Panics and Currency.
EDITOR HltPUDI.ICAN :
- While it is not yet settled what
1 caused the panic , the people are
aware it calliC , and that it struck
hard. Now , since some of OUI
most able financiers have agreed
that our present banking system
. can be changed so as to prevent
a reoccurence of the humiliating
spectacle of bankers having to
refuse to honor their own paper ,
or depositors lined up before a
bank begging for their money ,
and it certainly IS upto our law
makers to do some clean and
wholesowe legislation on that
, - great question , and do it now.
The people are a wake on the
subject , and if it is passed ovel
- without a law protecting the de.
positor , it will be but playing in.
- to the hands of the Demos. , tc
the detriment of the G. O. p ,
We hear of bills an bills intro'
duced in both the houses and sen'
ate until the congressional wast ! ; ;
basket has to be enlarged , verj
one ridiug their hobby , thus frit ,
tering their time away. If thej
will wake up and give us SOW4
law so Uncle Sam will stant
spenser for depositors , we w 'l
sweep the country at the nex
electton with such a whirlwin (
of republicanism as will surprisl
the old Jcffersonian Demos.

A Trying Experience.
If the tariff is about to be low.
ercd it means a suspension of
imports until the new rate g-oes
into effect , and it means also a
decrease in the actual value of
every article on hand at the time
of the change. If the tariff is
ahout to be raised , it means a
rush to import goods at the old
rates and alprofit to the owner on
every piece of that kind of goods
at the time of the change.
A wholesale revision of the
tariff is Qne of the most trying
experiences that manufacturers
and merchants can pass through ,
and it is not at all surprising
that so large a number of business -
ness men declare their preference
for the "ills they have" rather
than those that would result
froUl a general tariff revision.
The Small Pox Hoodo.
About the first of the year several -
eral persons in the country adjacent -
jacent to Broken Bow , broke out
with what was diagnosed and
treated as chicken po . Later a
case of the same kind devcloped
in thii city and was IIdubbed"
small pox and a quarantine
established. .
The chicken pox patients ,
however , were not restrained
from going or coming until it
was realized that they , too , were
small pox victims , but even then
there are not more than a dozen
cases here and all are now under
strict quarantinc , with no new
cases this week.
'I'he city authorities used their
perogative and ordered that no
public meetings , sociables , or
lodge meetings be held until
further notice , and the school
board ordered vaccinated all pupils -
pils who had not been. By the
precautions taken it is thought
there will be no more cases.
Business in the city has not
been interrupted in the least as
those not acquainted with the
facts might suppo e.
A Fatal Accident.
Last li'riday evening at about
5 o'clock John . Fleshman , son of
Mr. and Mrs.Con Ii'Jeshman , residing -
siding one mile west of Dale
church , had his skull crushed by
the exploding of an emery wheel
and was unconscious for 28 hours ,
when death occurred.
He was engaged in sharpening
discs on an emery wheel propelled
by horse power and the wheel
had attained such high rate of
specd that it exploded , which is
not uncommon in such cases.
Several pieces of the wheel struck
him on the head and each one
with such force as to mash
through the skull to the bra111.
His death occurred Saturday
evening at I ) o'clock. Funeral
services were held Monday afternoon -
noon and the remains interred in
the Dale cemetery.
The deceased was an exemplary
young man , who would have
been 25 years of age toc1 ay , held
in high esteen.by everyone who
knp.w him and a great help to his
parents with wrom all acquaintances -
ances deeply sympathize.
