THE HIGHEST SASH PRISE WILL ALWAYS BE A sensational story of a boodling enterprise comes down from Mankato, and the names of one or two of our county ollieers are ansooiatod with it in the most unpleasant wanner. County Clerk J.

J. Dalton, Treasurer Munson and Commissioners Goodwin had been off on a toure to select ttiniit ure for the new court house. It seems they had bids fromseveral fuuishiug houses on their return, and those they laid before the comissioners. While the matter was pending a telegram came to Dalton from representative of a certain establishment, stating tli at he was coming and requesting that a contract should not be closed with the other fellows until he could get there. Dalton paid no attention to this message and the commissioner went ahead and a-warded the contract to another houee.

When the agent that sent the dispatch caine on and found he had been ignored, he fell into a great rage and straightway produoed a letter purporting to be from his house, which directed that he should bid a certain hgure. and if it became necessary he should bid a lower hgure; but whatever he went under the first price was to come out of Dalton's ten per cent commission. This is the sum and substance of the story as it is currently peddled on the street. Whether the commission proposition had been made to Mr. Dalton, or was yet to be made after the agent arrived, no one seems to know; but the bare suspicion of boodling, evtn when thrown out by an angry and disappointed agent, was e-nough to excite the political circles and set tlieni to speculating as to what could be made out of, it and whose interests could be advanced.

Wo think the sober, justice-loving public will not be hasty to pass judgment one way or the other until they hear more testimony and get both sides of the story. We understand the central committee will sift the matter to the bottom, if any county ollicer has been making a margin for his own pocket while purchasing goods for the county, he must be dealt with unsparingly, regardless of his social or political position. On the other hand, it is our duty to be very careful lest we do lasting injury to and honest man. Jewell County Republican. County officers can not be any too careful, how they deal with the public, and public money or with individuals as the people, who put them in office of trust and alway watching them.

nore ajid more opposed to cap- rtsfl punishment. I want every criminals who tr ansgresses the law, breaks commandments, and rebels against authority to have as good chince as I have had anq nope to have. Eh? Bless you, yes. I ought to have spent most of my life in jail, ut there isn't room in all the prisons in America fur pnehalt the who ought to be jn them. But we won't talk about that now.

I was talk- about ihe co'idemed anarchists. By all means let us hang them. Bui when we have hanged them, and another lot after them again, there will be anarchists in America. Spies and Most and F'eldeti and all that crowdof blatant, lazv louts do not tencn men to be anarchists. Ch'cago was not a pure, sinless, law abiding.

God-fearing city, just ou the point of applying for a char ter as the Nw Jeruslem, when these wicked anarchists suddently rose ana murdered the heroic policemen. It has been even whispered that there were two or thi ee gambling-houses and as many as hall a doeii saloons in Chicago running in open violation and defiance, ol the law, before ever the an archists held a meeting or made a bomb It may not be generally known that in the city of New York, at least eight or ten men habitually, openly, publicly violate the law of the land, for years, without being brought to punishment or even trial. Herr Most was not the first man who broke the laws and taught others to do so. If we begin hanging the men who hate the law, and break it, we will run out of ropes long before we get to Lake Michigan, Say what we will, my boy, an hang whom we may, this discontent, this restlessness, this blind, wicked, furious reaching out after a change for the bet ter by these ignorant men is not born in a beer saloon. It is nourished and strengthened there, beoause these men have no other club-rooms, but that isn't its birthplace.

When a financier runs off to Canada with a million the man whose little deposit of 75 went to make up the million becomes an anarchist, and wants to throw a bomb at some body. hen a man is sent to jail for stealing a sack of flour and a pair of boots, while the defaulting cashier is promitted to go free one-half his steal ing if he will give up the other half. the convict makes up his mind to set fire to a house as soon as he gets out, When a merchant promises to pay one dollar for his goods and then pays only thirty cents, and makes his tenants pay their rent in full, one hundred cents on the dollar or get out, the evicted ten' ant naturally wants to sandbag some' body. When a rail way company counts its yearly earnings by the millions, and works its employes seven days in the week, it is nursing a brood of anarchists Hang the anarchists, my boy? I' fraid the last would have to commit sul cide or go unhanged. The bomb that exploded in Chicago Spies.

Fielden Co. threw it, but they did not make it. Hard sordid, grasping, pitiless greedy hand spent a good many years mak ing that bomb. It well enough to hang the anarchists, my boy but I'm afraid we're hanging' the wrong ones, The Farmer's Profits. At a recent grange meet ing iu Michigan a member presented some figures showing the profits of bis business.

This Michigan patron of husbandry found that It costs him (S2J cents per bushel to produce and market wheat. At the time his computations were made the market price was 75 cents, making a profit on wheat ot 30 ner cent Corn cost him 20. 2 cents, and the market price was 25 cents making the profltonjthat staplecrop25 percent Bis profit on oats was only 2 per cent, the being 29.2 cents, and the market price 30 cents. But the percentage of profit on hay was much the larg est. The cost ot product ion and marketing was W.411 per ton, and the market price was $9, giving a profit of 99 per cent.

Vaaqulabcd Tbena. A few days ago a lady from Ean Francisco who had a very solid bank account wcut to Lake Tnhoe on a pleasure trip with her daughter. She concluded that she would beve a good time, and accord- ingly took along ome plain, serviceabla clothes and no jewelry. When she strueY one of the fashionable resorts she four.d herself in the micUt of a lot of people mixing a vulgar display of clothes anddi monds, and every time she turned she was the subject of the most unmercif snubbing. She was put off in an obscu: corner to eat, and not one of the fashio; able guests condescended to show her tb fclightest civility.

The lady bit her lip for a few days; took in the situation and. with true feminine instinct, decided on ro venge. She dropped a line below, am' presently there were deposited at the hotel twelve Saratoga trunks waybilled to her address. She and her daughter retired to their rooms, and that evening came dowu to the dining room in a blaze of lace uo;) diamonds that took everybody's breath away. No such gorgeous or tasty toil ets hud ever bewildered the guesta at that hotel before.

It blinded the eye to look at the pair us they quietly entered the room. The stward, after recovering his poiie, rushed forward and pulled out. two chairs from the most fashionable table in the hotel. She shook her head and replied: "The old table will do," and wcut to the obscure corner where she had eaten all the time. The utmost consternation spread about the dining room, and the low hum of voices rose to a fashionable buzz as they warmly discussed the situation.

Wasn't it awful? They had been snubbing a woman and her daughter all tho week who could outdress them all. In the evening they attempted to hedge, but couldn't to any considerable extent. The dudes tried to shine up to the girl, but she wouldn't have it, and those who tried to scrape on acquaintance with the mother fouud it like trying to run a tunnel into an Iceberg. For a while sho flashed like a comet through that hotel into a constant change of ravishing toilets, each more costly and bewildering than the others, until, like the kings who predtsstrianized in "Macbeth," they threatened to stretch out till the crack of doom. At the end of the week it was learned from the chambermaid that she hod only gone through half of her Immense Saratogas.

There were several women there who had displayed at least a dozen different toilets, and they felt that they would jnst die if she beat their record. But she kept right on, aud when she was three ahead of their score they packed np and left. One by one the vanquished the leaders and the rank and file capitulated, displaying the rarest generalship imaginable. If Mrs. appeared in any special color to make a spread in the morning, she adopted that color at once, only in a dreas that eclipsed the others as the sun outshines the dog star.

She was the absolute John Sullivan of the toilet ring, and knocked out all who had the temerity to stand before her. Tba last of her opponents was a red faced vulgarly dressed woman from Sau Francisco, whose flashy toilets hnd attracted general nun aumirunou irom pcraous ignorant of harmony and color. Whatever dress this woman donned in the morning the fashionable Nemesis was on her trail with a color that literally killed tho other. The heretofore cock of the walk was unable to stand her defeat, and, packing her trunks, started for home. The army of snobs was routed, and one by one dropped out of sight They just settled up aud quit.

Then the quiet little lady resumed her plain clothes, put on an old straw hat with ber daughter cud went fishing. As the last gang left, te absolutely had the coolness to lie down at tho wharf fishing In an old calico dross, cotton gloves and straw hat. The landlord considered that she literally cleaned his place out, and she thinks she had an awful lot ot fun. Carson (Nev.) Appeal. Preo-rea of Invention.

All they do thcro is to patent things it matters not to tho whether they we will work r.s claimed or not. That the inventor's look out. Two novel indentions have recently come to my notice. One is a mnchine for making iron pipes.

Heretofore a pipe of Iron has been made of a certain length of Iron brought together and tho eclscs fastened, leaving a weld or scam the whole length. Oitviously It was only possibly to make pipes of a certain length in this fashion. Now a machine has been invented which ti-kc-s solid bar gf iron, of any lcnsrth, and literally turns it inside out, the pipe comes off just as a lady pulls a long glove from arm. Two steel cones plaeed at an anlo bore Inside the bar of iron, turning t'uo pipe back over a third steel cone which works on the outside of, the bar. Is not that wondorfuU Iron, nowadays, is mcde so soft it can be worked by machinery almost as It It were putty.

Another simple machinery which docs wonders in its line Is a pulverizer. By the action of two counter currents ot air anything placed In the current Is reduced to impalpable powder at once. A nail disappears iu dust as if It were a puff ball. The hardest emorv. heretofore so difficult to grind, yields as roadlly.

Upon the strength of the actual performance and utility of this machine, the stock In some nory mines In Canada, heretofore not above par, has now gone np to $380 a share. It is simply the power ef attrition which produces these surprising results. A number ot the typograpb machines have been brought to Washington an set np. If all that la claimed lor these na-chines comes to be true, then the ds i of the compositor in Urge printing offlo are numbered. Fuller Walker lit Kansas City Journal Naming a Onlaaa Town, The story of Maracaibo's christening runs It was almost 400 years ago, when Spanish Invaders came sailing np the lake to see what stores of gold or precious stones might be plundered from the rulers of its shores, aud found where tho city now is a native town called Co-qulvacca, governed by a powerful chief named Mara, who resented the coming of foreigners with fierce warfare and many battles.

But mall clad soldiers were more than a match for naked Indians, and one by one the villages succumbed, until the last one only remained. A determined stand was made here, and. in the hcr.t ot battle the chieftain fell. Seeing hi death a Spanish soldier raised a rry of victory that resounded thruunhout the attacklu force, Mara ceyot Mara tayot "Mara has fallen And around the ('t where Mara felt, the fair tows has gtewn that perpetuates his nante.

Youth indulges in hope, but old age in remembrance, Gentleness often disarms the fierce, and paelta the stubborn. A loving act does more' good than a blazing exhortation, We should estimate men more by their hearts than by their heeds. Pride is easily seen in others, but we rarely see it in ourselves. We should bp governed ruore by reason and reflection than by feeing and impulse. A wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Honor is not to be depended upon in the storms and tempests of life; but virtue is above the storms, her anohor is cast in heaven. A well-soent youth is the onlv sure foundation of a happy old iige. No aX' iom of the mathematics is more true, or more easily demonstrated. It is a mistake to suppose that members withdrawing from the Order of the Knights of Labor are lost to organized labor. Tho ranks of the Knights are depleted by such defections, but the ranks of other labor organizations are swelled, for laboring men generally, mechanics in certain largo trades in particular, are settled in the belief that thorough organization of labor is abso lutely necessary to meet and counter act the encroachments of capital, and it is idle for employers to delude them selves with the belief that labor organ izations are disintegrating.

Paradox ical as it may seem, the Knights of Labor have gained in actual strength by recent defections. The discordant clement has grown less, the bodv as a Whole more compact and harmonious, and like a well disciplined army in an one my 's country, stronger and in better lighting trim when relieved of camp followers. Organized labor in this country is here to stay; it is strong and gaining in strength steadily; it is learn ing by bitter experience that strikes and the bludgeon are not the means through which labor can claim its own, and is adopting orther methods ar bitration and co-operating with which it hopes to secure a great share of the profits resulting from labor. The labor problem, so-called, is fast becoming struggle of intelligence against organ ized capital. And if the ballot is the final arbiter, it is plain with which side victory will rest.

To attempt to break up labor organizations is to kick against the pricks. Far better, recognize them; still better, legalize them and enact laws which will effectually, promptly and economically settle the disputes constantly arising between capital and labor. A hint to tho wise, etc. A printer stood at the desk of a business man the other day and noticed him using letter and bill heads bought at an Eastern house. Said the printer, who was a customer, "what would you think of me if I were to go East and buy your line of goods for my self and family?" The merchant replied: "I would think you a fool, when I Know you can get the same goods just as cheap from me and aid a fellow citizen." When the printer called his attention to tho im ported letter and bill heads the merch ant coughed and went behind the count er to wait on a customer.

And the same merchant only a few days before nkei tho printer to give him a froo puff about his big stock of now goods. GroetivilUMToi.UIorald. lUi.tAiin'N Snow Linimknt.

From what can be learned from press reports, the revenue reformers In and out of Congress will make a desperate attempt next Winter to reduce the re- unues of this great goverlimnnt of ours. In what way the revenues are to be curtailed remains to be seen. Some of the reformers witii free trade proclivi- tics will go for the ta-iff.

and will want to head off the excess by cutting the tariff rate on some of the leading articles that are imported into this coun try. The protectionists will fight this scheme with their usual vehemence, and will suggest the abolition of the tix on whisky and tobacco. In this wav the house will bo divided against itself, but instead of falling, as the old siring has It. the revenues will not be molested and the Government will eo on oollcrtingsomc $70,000,000 per year more than there is use for. The out look to-curtail the revenues Is, to say the least, not verv flattering.

In fact that nothing will be done in this direc tion soon amounts to a certainty. Be sides the two elements mentioned above, there is a number ot congressmen who lnvor a further increase of pensions, it would not do, so they argue, to cut down the revenues. One thing is certain, the tux that Government ex is yery small and no man feels it, to it. is of but little moment whether it cut down or not. The excess can be easily gotten rid of and to good auvau-i igc.

Coast defenses ought to be con structed, war ships built, rivers and harbors improved, the erection, of pub lic building and the like, and, in ereuso in pensions if tlio majority so tiesiro.

Some letters rt-t-ciilly received from Japan. From an American traveller who is having ezceptionuladviintagesfor becoming acquaint ed with the native life of the country give some vciy curious aud Interesting items about tea driuklng there.

He says '-tea drinking is the great feature of Japan. It is not only a national taste, it is a social institution. Ou the railroads tea is offered to first class passengers at stations as water is provided for them with us. Iu travelling ov private conveyance the little roadside inns for the accoiu-madution of travellers are called aud are- tea houses tea is about all the; have to offer When you go into the shops tliuy bring vou tea, it is a part of the gem-rat courteousucss aud courtliness of their wavof doing even hi itv tradiug. And all this is merely incidental, quite aside from the real business tea drinking.

The tea you get in such ways Is of course, generally inferior, but the great difference when you come to the regular tea drinking Is In more than the quality of the tea. It is somewhat amusing to hear a man suy "Well, guess I'll have to stop my paper times arc so close" when the fact is the paper costs actually less than 2 cents per copy. Just tliluk of it, 8 1-3 a cculs a dav saved out of needless expenses for such as tobacco, cigars, will amount to (1.83 1-2 in a year, or 93 1-3 cents more than the price of a county paper.
