COUKAGE. "
Mr. Bryan , who tried to trans
mute 50 cent's worth of silver into
a coin the value of a gold dollar ,
will doubtless be greatly interest
ed in the information given out by
Sir William Ramsey to the effect
that the transmutation of metals
is entirely possible , owing to the
discovery that a gaseous separa 1
tion from radium is really helium.
No doubt the Nebraska statesman
will take new courage and now
consent to run again on a helium
oasis , with a ratio to his liking.
If helium is to be the next issue
before the country , 'Rah for Bry
an ! Los Angeles Times.
It was not necessary that Mr.
Bryan wait for the information
given out by Sir William Ramsey.
If Mr. Bryan had needed "new
courage-he probably found it in
the linancial record of the republi
can administration.
For instance , on November 1 ,
1897 , there were in existence sil
ver dollars aggregating § 4:52,713 : ,
792. That was about eight months
after the republican party came
into power. On December 1 ,
1903 , the silver dollars aggregated
$554,739,235' . The difference is
It would seem therefore , that
the republican administration to
which Editor Otis of the Los An
geles Times points with pride , has
not only "tried if , " but has actu
ally succeeded in "transmuting 50
ceift's worths-silver into a coin
the value 'of a 'gold dollar , " in
102,025,443 instances.
Republican editors and republi
can politicians have so often talked
gbout 50 cent dollars that they
have entirely lost their bearings.
Several years ago the late Robert
G. Ingersoll delivered a lecture
in the city of Omaha and in his ef
fort to describe a miracle , said :
4Xow , if any one could make a
dollar out of 50 cents worth of
silver , that would be a miracle , "
and every gray haired atheist and
infidel on the front seat screamed
with delight , as though the great
orator had scored a mighty point.
But they all forgot that half an
hour before Colonel Ingersoll
made that statement , his agent in
the box office had been receiving
in exchange for tickets to the
Ingersoll lecture an enormous
amount of the "dollars of our daddies -
dies , " not one of which had in it
more than 50 cents worth of silver.

M. Christenscn's one and a half
year old child fell oil'a chair
Wednesday evening and dis
located its neck. A doctor was
called immediately and after setting -
ting the neck straight put a plaster
paris cast around it to hold it until I
the muscles can bind it secure. It
is thought the child is doing nicely
and will recover.
The year old baby of Geo. A.
Chapman and wife died Wednes
day about two o'clock from stran
gulation. The child had been
suffering from sore throat ar.d
whooping cough and was sitting
on the floor when the mother heard
it choking and ran to it picking it
up gave it a teaspoonful of water ,
but all efforts to relieve the xlittle
one proved futile and it died in the
mother's arms shortly after. The
funeral was held this afternoon
( Thursday. ) The parents have
the sympathy of the entire com
munity.

A spelling contest last Friday
night in , the church was well at
tended. * Floyd Petty crew and
Miss Hobson were the captains
and the high school pupils were
divided between them. Misses
Gaskill and Collett competed for
honors in a speaking contest , all
of which was very good. Miss
Collett was said by the judges to
win in speaking , and the spelling
match was about a tie. The prac
tice in spelling as well as the study
the past six weeks for the occasion
has been quite beneficial to the
students. An admission fee of 15
and 25 cents was charged and the
money will be used for the library.

Martin Rice , "the Bard of Lone
, Jack , " died yesterday morning at

ty. He celebrated his 89th birth
day on November 22 and had lived
in , this state seventy-one years.
?
/ Mr. Rice was born inTennessee. .
He came to Missouri when IS years
old and took up his home near
where he died. He voted for Ab
raham Lincoln , his vote being'it
is j said , the only one cast for the
emancipator in that part'of the
county. Sines 1S35 he voted at
every presidential election. Mr.
Rice's first book was entitled ,
"Rural Rhymes and Talks and
Tales of Olden Times. ' ' World-

Uncle Martin Rice , of Lone
Jack , Mo. , died at his home last
Saturday morning * , Dec. 5 , 1903.
In last weeks paper we1 gave an
accourit of his last birthday party
of November 22 , in which 30 of
his old comrades participated. His
life I : has made the world better for
his having lived. He was a con
sistent Christian , a member of the
Baptist church for 62 years. He
was born in what is ndw Union
county , then a part of Campbell ,
in East Tenn , 30 miles north of
Knoxville near the present Lost
Creek postoffice , on November 22 ,
ISli , and was 89 years and 13 days
old at the time of his death. His
father was a poor , man thotfgh
fairly well educated and encour
aged his son Martin * in his studies.
Though his schooling Was liniited ,
he studied at home and m&ify a
"Sunday and rainy day while ? other
boys were at play , he spdn his
time at his books or writing his
thoughts both in prose , and in
rhyme. ; His studies' continued and
though he never1 attended school
after he was fourteen his educa
tion was superior to most college
professors in every branch of
study , though his preference was
manifestedior mathematics with its
subdivisions and a thorough mas
tery of the English grammar.
The world will remember him
for his works of a literary nature
and his poems and writing will be
found in every public library.
His Telatrees illrrcmeinber him

and trials of the afflicted.
As the .grand old man ceases to
\ one of us let us Jiope that his
watchful care and thoughtfulness
for us will be increased in that
.greater beyond and that we as he
may be of some use in this busy
world. Pleasant memories of this
departed one will linger with us
and his verses and works will ever
cherished by those who knew
him best. To his relatives at homo
family tie is broken. There , no
longer will be heard the faltering
footsteps of the old man , grown
feeble with years of toil and sorrow
row , but cherished beyond meas
in the homo of his oldest
