than two years, Joseph Wilkins,of Wash
ington, D. C, and Howard Builer, of
Philadelphia, were sent to prison to
serve sentences imposed on them for
having violated the law regarding the
sale of oleomargarine. Wilkins was
recently sentenced to imprisonment for
six months and to pay a fine of $1,500
and Butler to four months' imprison
ment and a fine of $500. Wilkins and
Butler were wholesale dealers in oleo
margarine in Philadelphia. The case is
of national importance, as Wilkins and
Butler are the first to be sent to prison
for violating the national oleomargarine
laws. Other dealers convicted of selling
oleomargarine as genuine butter have
succeeded in getting off with the pay

Our old friend W. H. Ashby of Beat
rice is out in the Omaha World-Herald
of January 9, in a 3-column article under
the title, "Question as to the Power of
Congress to Deny Free Coinage of Sil
ver," which he closes thuB: "Let Colo
rado and Nebraska waste no time in
fruitless efforts to get silver coined, upon
the ground that it is 'money of the con
stitution.' 'Silver' is not 'money' at all,
more than zinc or tin. The constitution
does not compel the coinage of a silver
owner's silver any more than it compels
the coinage of the gold owner's gold or
the zinc owner's zinc These metallists,
both mono and bi, need to learn some
thing of the nature of money." On this
point, Mr. Ashby purposes enlightening
his fellow-citizens shortly in a book.
That part of the democratic press of
the state which permits itself to use,
advertisements and all, the copious mat
ter sent out by the "reform press bureau"
must feel a bit sheepish when it realizes
how neatly it is being "worked" for the
benefit of a dozen or two expert salary
grabbers and junketers under the guise
of reformers. Editors who cannot get a
mile of transportation for themselves, or
credit for a night's lodging at a Twin
City hotel, cheerfully yield advertising
space to pay for the board, lodging and
traveling expenses of the "bureau." And
the "bureau" smiles at the success of his
game and devoutly thanks God that "a
sucker is born every minute." St. Paul

What is the use of going to California

Seeing that Senator George C. Perkins
had introduced a billon the subject, our
townsman, L Glnck, wrote him making
suggestion of certain features to incorpo

He received a prompt reply thanking
him for his letter and adding: "I am in

mittee on Immigration, who have the
matter under consideration. I herewith
inclose a copy of the bill, and trust you
will feel free to write at any time, giving

The bill is lengthy, its main provisions
being that the declaration to become a
citizen of the United States shall be
made five years at least prior to the
application for admission; a continuous,
five years' residence in the United States
and other requirements as to moral char
acter, obedience to the laws, attachment
to the principles of the constitution of
the United States, etc.; any alien of
twenty-one years and upward, who has
enlisted, or may enlist in the army of the
United States, eta, may be admitted,
upon his petition, without any previous
declaration of his intention, proving one
year's residence here.
One of Mr. Gluck's suggestions was
that notice of the application for citi
zen's papers be published four consecu
tive weeks in a newspaper having the
largest circulation in the county, asking
that objection or remonstrance be filed,
if any there be, a provision which may
possibly become a portion of the law.

small menagerie of curious animals, wan

the door of a local newspaper. A half
column of space is taken August 15, 1877,

J: H. Drinnin says that the condi
tion of winter wheat baffles the amateur.
On the 12th and 13th of August the
ground got thoroughly soaked with rain,
and all ground that was plowed and har
rowed for about ten days after, made a
good seed-bed for the wheat, but that
which was plowed later never did make
a good seed-bed, because it would not
pulverize. The consequence was the
seed planted in the former, came up in a
few days and made t good stand, while
the seed that was planted on the late
plowing never did all come up from
among the dry lumps, and although the
soil got u good wetting on the 8th and
9th of December, we cannot see more
than half a stand on the late plowing yet,
and what the result will be in the spring
can only be told by a professor. There
is one thing sure, about half the wheat
sown is a good stand and will make a
crop.
3 he famous Col. Alexander Hoag
land, who has been heard in addresses
in this city, is the originator of the cur
few law iu this country; he is president
of the Boys and Girls' National Home
and Employment Agency, and is now in
Chicago working in the interest of the
law. He says: "Apart from its senti
mental feature, the curfew law helps the
cities in which it is in forco from a mon
etary point of view. It costB nothing to
enforce the law, which provides for the
ringing of the curfew at 8 o'clock in the
evening from October until March and
at 0 o'clock during all the other months.
Children under fifteen, with the excep
tion of those who go to night school,
must stay off the streets after the bell
has tolled. Six years ago I began the
agitation in Lincoln, Nebraska, and since
then my plan has been put in forco in
400 towns in tho United States. It is a
law in many of the large western cities
and an eastern organization will begin
soon to agitate the matter in that part
of the country. I have letters from the
officials of some of the cities where the
law is in force, showing that crime among
the youth of the population has decreas
ed 80 per cent since the rule went into
effect. To keep the children off the
streets has aleo a tendency to reduce
truancy in schools."

THE NEW WERNER EDITION OP
The Encyclopedia Britannica
The Pilot
knows just how to steer a vessel to
bring it safely through the shoals
and out into the open. Just so the
Encyclopaedia Britannica is the one
absolutely reliable guide for the
voyage of life. One cannot go
wrong if its teachings are followed, f
ii icns uic iuuiaKes men nave maae;
how others havesucceededand why.
An intelligent man gets good from
the experiences of others and steers I
clear of the rocks they ran against.
The very presence of the Encvclo-
paedia Britannica in a house gives the place an intellectual tone.

tunity for successful home study and development as this master
piece of literature. There is no more instructive reading on earth
than that contained in its 30 volumes. To a life whose current
runs toward the future, this great work is indispensable. Just
