Landers is away from home and the change will give Mr. Veal the Sunday layover here instead of at Lenora where his Sunday layover is when he is on his regular run. Will Shaw, of the Cedar Bluffs Stock Farm, took Tuesday's train for Kansas City to attend a sale of fine stock this week and before his return he expects to purchase a registered Shorthorn bull for his herd.

Sherman is devoting all his time to The Kansas Children's Home Society, of Topeka, being district superintendent. The object of this society is to find comfortable homes for little children who have no homes and it is doing a great work along this line. For buggies and spring wagons see J. J. McComb Co.

"Ras" Lambert returned last Friday from his winter's sojourn in Tennessee looking as though the trip agreed with him in every particular. C. M.

Miss Kate Higgins entertained a number of her young friends Monday evening in honor of Miss Gertie Pepper who left for Kansas City next morning. Roy Graham has recently received a couple of postal cards from Freeman Alexander who, with his mother, is now traveling in Egypt. Freeman is having a pleasant time but misses his little friends about Stockton. The ball at the opera house last Monday evening was a very pleasant affair although the attendance was not as large as some which have been held there. Those who attended report a good time and the foresters are well pleased.

The spell of windy weather which was endured here last week ended in a change of temperature, the cold being very disagreeable. We did not learn how low the mercury went but the river was frozen over on Monday morning. The worst of it was that there was no moisture fell. Miss Eva Brobst left Friday morning after a stay of several weeks with friends here. She went to Osborne where she expected to spend a few days with relatives and then go to Omaha where she expected to be the guest of Miss Vivian Wooley, after which she will go to her home in Dowagiac, Michigan.

I. N. Pepper and family left Tuesday morning for their new home in Kansas City. For many years Mr. Pepper has been a very prominent figure in Stockton and has at many times been engaged in various enterprises calculated to benefit the county and assist in its development.

S. R. Tucker was over from Codell Tuesday evening distributing his sale bills. He has leased his fine alfalfa farm to M. McMichaels, of Morris county, for a period of three years and will take a vacation for that length of time.

He is as yet undecided where he will locate but must give possession the first of April. He talks some of moving to Plainville. The sale will be held on Thursday, April 10. More extensive announcement will be made in these columns in due time. Last week the people of Ash Rock township voted on the proposition to establish a graded school for that township according to the provisions of a law passed at the last legislative session but the vote was about the same as that on the county high school two years since, as it was twenty-one for and forty-six against the proposition.

There seems to be no use of attempting further to advance the educational interests of Rooks county or any portion of it. The people can be depended upon to contribute generously to the building of railroads and poor houses but when it comes to the development of the intellects of their own children they draw the line, although the human intellect is the only thing in the universe the development of which will last through all time and through and by which all other things must hope to be developed. Again and Slad of it! FTER an absence of eight weeks I am glad to say I have return A ed home full of new courage and more anxious to do busi ness than ever, On the way home I visited some of the largest and best wholesale houses in the country and purchased a spring stock of goods clear out of sight of all former years both in quality and price, paying spot cash for every article, I wish to call especial attention to all purchasers of LADIES' WAISTS OR SKIRTS or goods to make them of and to buyers of DRY GOODS, SHOES, HATS, GLOVES, GROCERIES and all lines we carry, and tell you that it is my purpose to make the CASH BARGAIN STORE the best and cheapest place in town to trade, RESPECTFULLY, -Rich'd Martin.

A little late but glad to say I am home again and anxious as ever to see 1 my friends.

RICH'd MARTIN. There have been numerous tales of how rapidly F. M. Case is acquiring wealth in Colorado and we have been unable to either affirm or deny them until now. Here is what Mr.

Case said in a card which we received this week: "Please change the address on my Journal from Ordway to Rocky Ford. If the land agent's story of my prosperity was one-fourth true I would be able to send you some money at this time. Instead of $3,000 clear on my beets as reported, I made $197.15 clear." Commissioner Hazen is drilling another deep well in order to have water more convenient for his stock. He is drilling this one in the pasture about half a mile southeast of his house. The fore part of the week he had gone down to a depth of nearly two hundred fifty feet and found the same formations as those found in the deep well at his barn.

The home well is almost five hundred feet deep and the water stands within eighty feet of the surface, there being more than four hundred feet of water. He thinks of raising the cylinder quite a distance as there will then be less weight to lift and consequently less damage from breakages. For garden seeds, hoes, rakes shovels and spades go to J. Q. Adams.

He has the best to be had. Clay Cross, of this office, spent Sunday with his mother at Portis, returning home that evening. A. C. Pagett, of Beloit, is in the city today in the interest of socialism, distributing socialistic literature.

The ladies of the Christian church will give a supper tomorrow (Friday) evening at the G. A. R. hall. Everyone invited.

For sale. An eight foot ash table in first class condition, and a good second hand heating stove. Inquire of Mrs. W. L.

Crowe. Richard Martin has returned from his extended trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he went for the benefit of his health. He says that he is much improved since going there. Last Monday Governor Stanley refused the application of Bert Wiley for a pardon from the penitentiary. Wiley was sent from Rooks county 1900 for four years for grand larceny.

Dr. Stevens, the specialist in fitting spectacles, operating and treating diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat, will be at Stockton the last Thursday of each month; at Osborne daily excepting Wednedsays and Thursdays. tf Ray McKay came up from Woodston Tuesday evening for repairs for the Star. While at work that day an accident happened to the press causing a breakage and it became necessary to secure some repairs before they could resume work. Machinist Taylor helped him out of the difficulty.

Mrs. Kern, of Palco, accompanied by a friend, was canvassing for funds here yesterday to assist in paying off the indebtedness on their church at Damar. They were the guests of Uncle George Stewart and family last night, the Stewarts and Kerns being former neighbors. Tuesday at 12.30 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, occurred the marriage of Miss Dora Ross to H. H.

Palmer, of Plainville township. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ross and is well and favorably known both here and at Plainville, having been a resident of the county a number of years. The Groom came here a year since from Washington county and purchased a farm in Plainville township.

He also has the R. E. Sawyer farm leased and resides there. After the nuptial knot was tied the guests partook of a sumptuous wedding dinner and a pleasant, time was had by all present. Relatives and near friends of the contracting parties were all that were present.

Tee JOURNAL joins the host of friends in wishing the young couple a happy and prosperous voyage through life. UNJUST AND VICIOUS. Terms Applied to Ship Subsidy Bill in Minority Report. Washington, March Clay, representing the minority of the committee on commerce, has presented the report in opposition to the pending ship subsidy bill. Most of the points have been covered in speeches in the senate.

The minority deny the accuracy of both the predictions and the facts in the majority report. They urge that the bill is wrong in principle, and declare that it will utterly fail in the accomplishment of its professed objects. They also say that while it is not so complicated as the subsidy bill of the Fifty-sixth congress, it is in some respects even more objectionable. The minority continue: "'The bill proposes to tax the whole people to the extent of several millions for the benefit of one single industry. Besides the statistics of the last two years prove that the shipbuilding inindustry does not need such special assistance, but is rapidly increasing under natural conditions." They criticise the feature of the bill which carries the subsidy for foreign mails, and say: "'The highest rate of subsidy is given to twenty-knot vessels, while the fast ocean mails are really carried in 23 and 24-knot vessels.

The mail compensation to slow American vessels, already too high, is made immensely higher by this bill. We pay more for a weekly service than England pays for a semi-weekly service by much faster ships than ours." They further urge that the bill makes no provision against a shipping trust and claim that it encourages a combination leading to such a trust. They also say: "'The lines might also merge with foreign lines to control freight and passenger rates. Thereby our subsidy would be aiding the foreign partners of our subsidized vessels." The report closes by saying: "We know that there are hundreds and thousands of industries in our country doing a losing business, but we deny that congress for this reason can go into the public treasury and save them from bankruptcy. We sympathize with all men in the hard struggles of life but it is not the duty of our government to interfere in the private business affairs of the citizen.

We believe that all men should have an equal and fair chance in the race for wealth and happiness- every citizen should bear his share of the burdens of the government, one class should never be the recipient of benefits not given to others. Absolute equality of rights is a doctrine we should never abandon. The bill is wrong in principle, unjust, vicious, pure class -State Journal. Married. If you cannot come to town just send in your list of articles that you expect to sell and we will mail the sale bills to you all fixed up right.
