Classification of ads makes your
"want" as easy to flnd as a telephone
number.
St Takes Two Are You One of Them ?
If , of the two people it takes to
make a bargain , you are one , Low
much would it be worth to you to find
the other one ? Would It be worth the
cost of a classified ad ? Would it be
worth the cost of a small but deter
mined "campaign of want advertis
ing ? "
The "other one" necessary to "make
a bargain" is found , in nine cases out
of ten , through advertising often
through want advertising ; and , in this
city , usually through want advertising
flu this newspaper.
"The other one" watches the want
s\ds pretty closely but , of course , haste
to bo convinced. If your offer is

'ALLEN GRILLS EDITOR
And Discusses Admission of Boche to
Ball Last Year.
Former Senator Allen of Madison
grills Editor Miller of Newman Grove
fin this week's issue of the Madison
Post. Incidentally he discusses the
legality of Judge Barnes' act in grantIng -
Ing ball to Herman Boche pending su
preme court action on the lattor's ap
peal , before he was sent to the peni
tentiary. The Post says :
Filosofer Miller.
Our great and good friend Filosofer
Iklillcr of the Newman Grove Reporter ,
notwithstanding he is a graduate of
the Yale university , has shown him
self capable of making serious mis
takes. The fllosofer's flrst mistake
consists in the belief that a man who
lias not graduated at Yale Is unedu
cated and Incapable of seeing men
and measures In their true light The
fllosofer's second mistake consists in
settling on the broad plains of Ne
braska , among a people he is accus
tomed to regard as yokels , loquendl
Yalibus , upon the supposition that his
HlosoTy will lead them Into the philo
sophical errors ho himself constantly
commits. Fllosofor Miller's third mis
take consists In his writing his edi
torials in the flrst person singular ,
with the intention , no doubt , of mak
ing It clear to his wide and constantly
Increasing constituency of yokels that
Ilia fllosofy is unmixed and bears the
true Yale brand. The fllosofer's fourth
mistake consists In his attempts , bo-
tore his shoe-soles have become warm
upon the soil of Nebraska , to make the
world believe that Mr. Justice Barnes
of the supreme court , who for forty
years has been one of the great jur
ists of the west , Is unqualified to oc
cupy a place upon the supreme bench
of this state. Whether Filosofer Mill
er really believes what he says about
Judge Barnes or objects to the jurist
because his education is not of the
Yale type , will probably never be
Icnown , as the fllosofer , like Major
Joey Bagstock , is sly , devilish sly , and
sometimes inclined to mask his mas
ter purposes beneath n flow of col-
Filosofer Miller shows that ho l § not
"Fllsofor Miller shows that ho Is not
well up in the history of Jurisprudence
Trtion he refers to what the jurors in
the Boche case say , because If the fll
osofer understood the real situation ,
be would know that Hon. A. A. Welch
presided at the trial of that case , and
that Judge Barnes was neither In the
court room nor In the county at that
tlmo. The fllosofer grumbles and
mumbles a good deal , but makes no
specific charge. Probably the flloso-
ifer'B real contention Is that Judge
Barnes ought not to have admitted
Bocho to ball before his trial and con
viction , but ns both the constitution
and the statute commanded him to do
BO , nnd Judge Barnes took a solemn
oath that ho would support the consti
tution and enforce the law without
fear , favor , fraud or affection , It may
become apparent to Filosofer Miller
In the course of tlmo , notwithstanding I
the obstructing Influence of his Yale
education , that Judge Barnes , to per
form the obligations of his official
oath , was required to do Just what he
did.
did.Fllosofor
Fllosofor Miller does not do himself
or his great education justice by at
tempting to * teach men like Judge
Barnes their official duties. As n con
stitutional and statutory lawyer , It Is
not improbable that Mr. Barnes * edu
cation Is equivalent to that of Flloso-
fcr Miller , and as Judge Barnes has
lived in this district for forty years ,
and Fllosofor Miller Is a Yale refugee
of recent Importation , It might bo well
for him to study the situation In this
state a little more closely before thun
dering forth his ponderous opinions.
DON'T LET HER SAY NO.
When You Meet the Girl Win Her on
the Spot.
Chicago , Aug. 21. "If you meet a
girl , look Into her eyes and decide
that you love her , tell her so that
minute.
"Don't wait for her to say yes or no.
Take It for granted that she Is yours.
"Begin Immediately to act as if she
were your property ; all women like
to feel ns if they belonged to a man.
"Tho girl will soon begin to take
your viewpoint of the affair.
"It ought not to take any man more
than thirty minutes to win a wife.
"If the young woman's relatives ob
ject , Just Ignore them. "
These views of Brigadier General
Thomas S. Hutchlnson of Tennessee ,
put into practice , won for him a brldo
and the couple are spending their
honeymoon in Chicago. They were
married hero Saturday. The bride ,
who is the daughter of the late Col-
onal David W. Cheatham of Clarks-
vllle , Tex. , announced the happy event
today.
South Dakota Game Law.
Pierre , S. D. , Aug. 21. The flrst of
September will not this year be ush
ered in with the booming of shotguns
and the cussing of the farmer for the
trespass upon his fields by the "town
hunters. " In fact , under the new law
there is not much hunting to be had
for two or three years , as quail are
protected until 1912 , and grouse and
prairie chicken until 1911. The sea
son for any shooting does not open
until September 10 , and when that
time arrives the game wardens will
have to decide "what is a duck" in
many cases. These birds are general
ly supposed to frequent swamps and
streams and not to be numerous In
the grain fields. But if a story from
Codington county is to be believed ,
they are changing their nature to com
ply with the requirements of South
Dakota hunters. A farmer up in that
part of the state complains to the
state warden that "ducks mind you"
are invading his wheat fields and eat
ing all his grain , and he wants them
subdued , or the game warden to come
down nnd "shoo" them away. Not
that the web feet are changing their
habits , the hunters will be given an
excuse for ranging the grain fields
after the 10th of September to assist
in the defense of the farmers' crops.
Under the existing conditions it will
be up to the game wardens to study
ornithology to bo sure of their
grounds. While the local hunter who
nobly pays $1 for his hunting license
may be able to make the game warden
believe that all game birds are ducks ,
tne outside hunters with their special
cars and $15 licenses might have a
narder time to work their persuasive
arts , and are likely to be scarce. As
the pay of the wardens depend en
tirely on the license fees , they are
not likely to be over burdened carrying
around their salaries until after the
embargo is raised on chicken and
quail shooting.
FINDS RECREANT HUSBAND.
Fairfax Woman , However , Discovers
He Has Another Wife.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Aug. 21. The
residents of Tabor , a thriving little
town in Bonhomme county , have re
cently been treated to a series of sen
sations ns the result of developments
growing out of the recent appearance
at that place of Mrs. Frank Knittel of
Fairfax.
She was in search of her recreant
husband , who disappeared from their
home about four years ago and she
found him living In Tabor under the
name of Frank Brown and with an
other wife in his domicile. Mrs.
Knittel states that she is his lawful
wife , they having been married four
teen years ago , and ho having disap
peared after they had lived together
about ten years.
Knittel or Brown has again made bis
"get away , " and this Is how It came
about Soon after his first wife had
located him she called upon him and
gave him the alternative of turning
over to her the sura of $1,500 for her
support in future or standing trial on
the charge of bigamy. Knittel or
Brown declared to her that he had pro
cured a divorce from her In Kansas
City , where they had lived for some
years following their marriage , and
pleaded for time to secure documen
tary evidence showing that he had
secured the divorce as claimed.
It has since dovelopcd that this
claim was made solely for the pur
pose of gaining time so he could put
a good distance between himself and
his flrst wife.
Klnkald Talks on Tariff Bill.
Atkinson Graphic : Hon. M. P. Kln
kald returned home last Thursday
from his long siege of congressional
duties nt Washington , stronger with
his homo constituents than he has
been since the beginning of his legis
lative career. He says that the tariff
measure , which was passed on ac
count of its effect on local conditions
in different parts of the country , will
not be entirely satisfactory but that it
contains a good many redeeming
features , and will be beneficial to the
people as n whole , and were Incor
porated In the bill by the persistent
efforts of President Tnft who Insisted
that the measure should contain pro
visions aa demanded by a majority of
the people. It was a jjreat victory for
Tatt and Mr. Klnkald'a vote cast for
the bill and sustaining the president
Is entirely satisfactory to his con
stituents.

boy of O. II. Johnson , who lives east

ACROBAT SEVERELY HURT
Fall From Whirling Ladder at O'Neill ;
Improving at Nellgh.
Nellgh Register : The acrobat who
was so severely Injured by a fall from
'
a whirling ladder at O'Neill last week ,

Seattle's hospital.
Three Pretty Balloon Ascensions. |
O'Neill Frontier : "Julius , King of
the Clouds , " who made the balloon
ascensions and parachute drops hero
last week , was the best In that line
ever hero. Ho made three successful |
ascensions , the balloon sailing up a
dizzy distance each of the three overl
ings. The last time up , Friday even
ing , it looked like the aeronaut would
not bo able to make the parachute
drop for some time after ho ascended.
The balloon went straight upwards.
There was not a current of air to
carry it over the town , but the bag' '
kept going higher and higher straight j
I
into the heavens. The crowd called |
for the balloonist to cut his parachute | [
loose when he reached a nervous |
height supported only by a slender' I '
trapeze. The balloon after a time
floated a few rods southeast trom the
point of ascension between the two
depots and the balloonist disconnected
the parachute and came safely down
Just across the old mill race a hundred
yards west of the Northwestern depot.
May Deport Him.
Carlock Dakotan : Mrs. Christ Kah-
ler returned Saturday from Yankton ,
where Christ is receiving treatment in
the state insane hospital. She was
summoned to Yankton the flrst of last
week to testify in regard to her hus
band's condition previous to leaving
Russia a year ago last April , as the
authorities are investigating his case.
If it be shown that he was Insane
prior to landing In this country he will
be subject to deportation. His condi
tion Is greatly Improved since he was
taken to the hospital about six weeks
ago , and the physicians look for a
speedy recovery. He has taken out
his flrst naturalization papers , his rel
atives are nearly all In this country ,
and it is probable that he will be re
leased before any decision is rendered.
Was It a Trick ?
O'Neill Independent : Last week on
Wednesday evening a man was buried
In the street here under six feet of
earth. He was flrst placed in a hyp
notic state and then placed in a box
and lowered Into the pit. Two air
tubes were put on the box and extend
ed above the ground and an admission
was charged to see the subject in his
sleep. He was placed in the box and
buried about 6 o'clock Wednesday and
not dug up until Saturday evening at
about 7 o'clock. He was taken to a
tent and awakened and apparently felt
Just as good as he ever did.

fore Justice Buhler , warrants of arrest
were issued Wednesday for Jacob Net-
mann and sons , Jacob , jr. , and Emlle.

each and costs , making a total of
$26.70.

Norfolk Won From Seward.
Wrangling with the umpires and the
change of pitchers did not help the
Seward baseball team , which came
here yesterday claiming the state
championship of amateur teams. They
were defeated easily by Norfolk.
Score 12 to 2.
The game was Norfolk's from start
to finish , and of the three pitchers that
were put In the box by Seward all of
them were batted unmercifully by the
Hall aggregation. Norfolk got 16 hits
from Seward , and only 5 were taken
from Young , who pitched a beautiful
game. The features of the game were
Luclnsky's fine catch in left field and
the two-baggers by Ward and Schoon-
auer.
This afternoon's game will decide
whether Seward will be able to still re
tain the championship of the state. If
they do , they will have to play bettor
ball than they did yesterday.
Correctlonvllle , la. , comes tomorrow
for games Sunday , Monday and Tues
day.

HARD WEATHER ON EGGS.
They Hatch Out Enroute to Chicago
By Freight Train.
F. L. Estabrook , egg commission
man In Norfolk , says that the recent
heated period here was the most dis
astrous to eggs of any similar period
he has known. Eggs which started
from their destinations strictly fresh
arrived In Norfolk as poor grade sec
onds. Experiences all over the coun
try seem to be about the same , as is
attested by the following dispatch
from Chicago :
"Chicken fanciers and commission
men marveled today when a brood of
fourteen chickens , alive and well , was
found in a case of eggs shipped to
Chicago from Mlsourl. The case was
marked 'strictly fresh , ' but when It
arrived after a heated Journey In a
box car the downy little chickens dis
covered on the top layer of pasteboard
within the case were the freshest
things observable.
"Incubator experts declare that a
.temperature of at least 101 degrees
must have been required to accom
plish the automatic hatching. The
'chickens were given to one of the
teamsters employed by the commission
fivir- , and quickly transferred to the
of a motherly Plymouth Rock. "

MUSICAL LAWN MOWER.
Jerseyman Invents Machine to End
Ennui of Summer Boarders.
Lemuel Starkweather , who conducts
a summer boaidlng bouse In North
Caldwell , N. J. . has solved the prob
lem of keeping his lawn trimmed and
entertaining the summer sojourners
by perfecting a combination lawn
mower and music box.
The story of the Invention came out
when the owner took the machine tea
a blacksmith shop to have it sharp
ened for the third time in two weeks.
Up to a few weeks ago the Stark-
weather lawn was unkempt , and the
boarders suffered from ennui in the
quiet evenings , aa the only music the
bouse afforded was from a parlor or
gan.
gan.Mr.
Mr. Starkweather , who Is ingenious ,
adapted the mechanism of n music
box to the lawn mower , and the men
boarders as well as two women via
Itors became eager to take turns at
running the contrivance up and down
the lawn In the cool of the evening.
The neighbors soon learned of the
harmonious lawn mower and wanted
to borrow it. The demand became so
great that Mr. Starkweather says he
now charges n fee for its use. With
the money thus derived be expects tn
purchase several new records that
will bring the machine up to date In
B musical way.
Arithmetic For Girls on Farms.
Miss Jessie Field of Page county , III. ,

ways. Miss Field says that observa

PREDICTION OF WORLD FIGHT
Private Ownership of Land Will Make
Trouble , Says Single Taxer.
Henry George , Jr. , who recently ar
rived at London from n trip around the
world sald that this tour had showed
him that the question of land values
was the greatest fight of modern times.
It meant progress or ruin. It was the
world's cause today.
Japan wanted money for her armies
and ships , but Japan was poor and
could no longer bear taxation. There
would soon be a break in Japan un
less a remedy was found for the bur
dens of the poor , whose poverty was
worse than anything under feudalism.
Private ownership of land In Japan Is
piling up misery , as it is also doing In
the cities of England and America.
As for America , he said , the state of
the poor Is getting worse. In the past
they had spilled their blood and spent
their treasure to outroot slavery. To
day they had a slavery more subtle ,
more intrenched , more Internecine. But
the United States was n republic of
convulsions , and when the time came
they would throw out the causes of
poverty at whatever cost.
Des Molnes as United States Capital.
J. F. Bishop , formerly editor of the
Grand Army Advocate of Des Molnes ,
la. , is preparing the manuscript of a
book on the subject of removing the
capital of the United States from
Washington to Des Molnes. Mr. Bish
op Is confident that when the people
of the United States come to under
stand the advantages of having the
seat of the national government lo
cated centrally and are acquainted ful
ly with the claims of the state of
Iowa and Des Molnes there will be no
hesitancy on the part of their repre
sentatives in making the move.
Keeping Secrete In China.
Rear Admiral Sah Chen Ping of the

VAN SANT'S DILEMMA.
Amusing Incident In Career of the
New G. A. R. Commander In Chief.
When former Governor Samuel R.
Van Sant , who was recently elected
commander in chief of the G. A. R. ,
went to New York a few years ago a
former resident of Minnesota called
upon the governor shortly after his ar
rival and was shown to his room in his
hotel. He found the governor sitting
In a chair surveying with n gloomy
countenance a trunk which stood
against the wall.
"What is the matter , governor ? "
asked the caller.
"I want to get a suit of clothes out
of that trunk , " was the answer.
"Well , what's the difficulty lost the
key ? "
"No ; I have the key nil right , " said
the governor , heaving a sigh. "I'll tell
you how it is. My wife packed that
trunk. She expected to come with me ,
but was prevented at the last moment.
To my certain knowledge she put in
enough to fill three trunks the way a
man would pack them. If I open it
the things will boll all over the room ,
nnd I could never get half of them
back. Now , what I'm wondering
about Is whether It would be cheaper
to go out and buy n new suit of clothes
or two additional trunks. "
HOOFS INSTEAD OF FEET.
Boston Medical Experts Predict Them
For Humanity In a Thousand Year * .
Medical experts of Boston predict that
civilized man will have hoofs Instead
of feet in a thousand years. No less
personages than Dr. David D. Scanncll ,
surgeon nnd ex-Harvard athlete ; Lewis
F. Small , an orthopedist , and Dr. L.
R. G. Cranston nnd Dr. E. H. Brad
ford , both of the Harvard Medical
school , sec this probability.
Dr. Cranston says tbc human foot has
become a hind foot or hoof in use if
not In actual form. Dr. Small says the
civilized races are slowly reverting to
hoofs and that we must go to the Jap
anese to learn how to walk. Foot trou
bles are unknown among thorn.
The Owl In History.
The owl was in former times gen
erally regarded as nn omen of mis
fortune or death , but ns the Egyptians
represented Minerva under the form
of an owl tbu Athenians , who wciv
under the care of this goddess , looked
upon the appearance of the owl as a
favorable omen. It therefore formed
upon the ancient coins referred to the
symbol of Athens and her foreign pos
sessions. The Chinese and the Tar
tars hare also held the owl In high
esteem. The first named used to wear
owl's feathers In their caps , and some
Tartar tribes still worship Idols made
like owls.
