THE BLUEBEARD STORY
It ITn a Mythical Rather Thus
Mythological Origin
The fascinating story of Bluebeard
has a mythical rather than a mytho
logical origin No one has found his
prototype In the Vedas or in the old
Greek or Roman authors The story
is supposed to be of French origin
and it has even been suggested that
Bluebeard was no ither than the much
married Henry VIII There is how
ever better reason for believing that
the original was Giles de Laval lord
of Riaz who was marshal of France
early in the fifteenth century He was
a brave soldier whose exploits In the
wars between England and France are
recorded in history According to
Mlzeray he murdered his wives as
soon as he tired of them and was him
self eventually strangled in 1440
The story of Laval has however not
many points of resemblance for there
is no mention of a key and Giles de
Laval moreover used to entice per
sons of both sexes to his castle for the
sake of their blood which he wanted
for certain incantations he indulged in
Nor indeed does the story fit In with
our own Henry VIII and we are left
to believe that whatever the origin
the key and Sister Ann were added for
the sake of effect A variant of the
story of Giles de Laval is told by IIol
inshed in whose version the name is
Giles do Retz Marquis de Laval who
lived in Brittany and was strangled
and burned for the murder of his seven
wives Dr C Taylor it may be added
regarded the story simply as fiction a
satire on or type of the castle lords of
the days of knight errantry London

OAK AND PINE
The Value and Usefulness of These
Classes of Woods
Though generally assumed that oak
Is the wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety of uses it is known as
a matter of fact that the pine is really
the most used on account of its great
abundance Nevertheless the timber of
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements of strength and durability
hardness and elasticity in a degree
which no other tree can boast unrival
ed as a material of shipbuilding also
superior in architecture cabinetmak
ing carving mill work cooperage and
innumerable other purposes while the
bark is of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding a bitter extract In con
tinual demand for medicinal purposes
But of uses for the pine details would
be well nigh endless The timber is in
valuable in houses and ship carpentry
common turpentine is extracted from it
in vast quantities and immense sup
plies of tar pitch resin and lampblack
In the manufacture of matches and
above all paper pulp thousands and
tens of thousands of acres of pine for
ests are cut down every year and
briefly the timber of this tree consti
tuting as it does the chief material of
English and American builders may be
said to be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together
Tried the Effect of a Title
Among the neighbors who annoyed
Carlyle none perhaps gave him so
much trouble as the boys who played
about near his house They made no
secret of their dislike of the philoso
pher and stood in dread of his stick
when he went abroad James Waylen
who did a great part of the research
for the Cromwell and who was at
Carlyles house almost daily was one
morning standing on the doorstep of
the house in Cheyne row waiting to
be let in when one of these young
urchins came up to him in a deferen
tial manner and touching his cap
said Please sir would you ask
Lord Carlyle to give me my top Its
tumbled down his airey During the
mornings work Carlyle and Waylen
chuckled together over the conciliatory
title which the lad had created for his
enemy
An Uncanny Plant
On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is
to be found an uncanny product of the
vegetable kingdom known among the
natives by the expressive name of the
devils noose Dunstan the natural
ist discovered it while wandering on
the shores of the lake Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog
he found the animal held by black
sticky bands which had chafed the
skin to bleeding point These bands
were branches of a newly discovered
carnivorous plant which has been aptly
named the land octopus The
branches are flexible black polished
without leaves and secrete a viscid
fluid
Where Total Eclipses Are Rare
It is a fact well known to astron
omers that the average number of total
and partial eclipses in any one year is
four that the maximum Is seven and
the minimum two Where only two
occur they are always both of the sun
There are a great many more eclipses
of the sun in the course of a year or
a hundred years than there are of the
moon This fact notwithstanding
however London the metropolis of the
world seems to be a place where such
obstructions to the suns light seldom
occur

Peoples Party Convention
The Populists of Red Willow county
met in convention at Indianola Friday
August 15th Chairman H H Pickens
convened the gathering and stated the
call Upon motion he was retained as
temporary chairman and Cecil Mat
thews was also assigned the temporary
secretaryship A committee on resolu
tions was then appointed consisting of
C E Matthews J W Hoppe and I M
Smith
The Democratic convention having se
lected a committee on conference the
chairman appointed J W Hoppe Sam
Hoagland and E Oxley to confer with
said committee The temporary or
ganization was then made permanent
The committee on resolution boing ready
to report the secretary read them as
follows
The Populists of Red Willow county
in convention assembled again take
pride in pointing to the advance ground
their party has taken upon all great
questions of the day and hour and con
gratulate tho Populists of the state and
nation for being intellectually sixteen
years ahead of tne dominant party who
now rushes forth from its placo of re
treat and asks the true reformers to
step aside while with a blast of trum
pets and a sham effect they pretend
to kill the bear
We invito all fair minded men to re
call tho fact that from the beginning
of the history of this state down to the
present time the republican party has
not written one law upon tho statute
book of this state that would give the
people relief from the outrageous freight
rate charges impossed on then Not one
They promised us two years ago to
force the corporations to pay their just
share of taxation and the present state
administration raised the assessed valu
ation of the railroads 100000 and then
coated it over to those interested by
raising the valuation of all other proper
ty nearly 89000000
They have pretended to be opposed to
the free pass system and yet they have
used the free pass in Red Willow county
to assist their legislative candidates in
securing an election and the hollow
mockery of their hue and cry is apparent
when it is recalled that a recent set of
resolutions condemning the free pass
evil was reported by a committee of
five with two members of said com
mitttee at leastpossessing free transpor
tation in their inside coat pockets
The Republican party has been recreant
to the trust the voters have placed in it
in this great state Her legislators have
been corrupted Railroad lobbyists have
dictated and domineered legislative pro
ceedings and with the same legislative
candidates asking for a re election and
who have been found wanting we ask
the honest question how can we hope
for relief through the present party now
in power
Knowing that the sentiment of our
party and a majority of the voters of the
state are for a two cent per mile pas
senger rate we pledge our legislative
candidate to vote for such a measure
and to also support a just fair and
honest maximum freight rate law
We also demand a direct primary law
enacted upon our statute books and to
this end we condemn the candidate of
the dominant party in this county for
his opposition to such a measure in the
last session of the legislature and we ask
all candid voters how such a represen
tative of the people can now change his
leopard spots and successfully support
such a measure
Respectfully submitted
