HELLER, Manager. “His character is as pure and white as a marble shaft.” —From Governor Hanly’s speech nominating Mr. Fairbanks for president. The governor of Indiana apparently | came to bury Mr. Fairbanks, not to praise him—New York Sun (Rep.). The Roosevelt-Taft "road roller” made burial unnecessary. When it: ran over a man there was nothing left for the undertaker to bother with. Whosoever secures the largest number of independent votes next November will be the successful presidential aspirant. In the country at large there are not enough dyed-in-the-wool partisans of either the Republcan or the Democratic persuasion to elect their man without the help of a majority of the independent voters. Please note this and refer to it after the announcement of the result next November. —South Bend Times. Sherman for vice president! And who is Sherman? He lives in Utica, N. Y. He has been a member of congress for some years. He is president of a trust company and a director in six banks. He is a campaignfatfryer. He is the head of an ice trust and the friend of all the other trusts. He is a stand-patter on th e tariff and has opposed every proposed reform while he has been in congress. His nomination is proof that the Republican managers think they can fool the people all the time. Farmer, do you want to go back to Democratic times? Do you want 2c for tobacco, 17 cents for oats and 22c for corn? Do you want your poultry and produce to sell at half the price you are now receiving? If so vote the Democratic ticket. That party is pledged to a reduction in everything (another name for free trade,) and you will hav e the old times of '92 to '96 if they succeed. —Union City Times. Say, George, what is your latest quotation on wool? That was a corking little financial disturbance we hal. Does the foreigner still pay th e tar-

iff tax, and if he does, let’s raise ’er.

Stumps Make Good Turpentine But a Mighty Poor Farm If you want to go into the turpentine business, don’t buy North Dakota land; we hav’nt any stumps from which to make the turpentine. If you want to spend the rest of your natural life grubbing out stumps so that your great grand child can have a dairy farm, why, that’s your business, but if you want land that will for your first year’s work give you a great big bumper crop, we say to you COME TO NORTH DAKOTA NOW We will sell you land from sl2 to S2O an acre that will make you rich. You don't have to wait years for a crop either. You can break in April and harvest a big crop the same year. You can make money every year > all the time and be paying for the farm while the other fellow is whipping his land into shape to get his first crop. Our lands are traversed by rail- A roads, affording every facility of the best markets. You will have good schools for the youngsters —good churches and nearby neighbors. We have $ free rural delivery—rural telephone lines and every convenience known to _• modem farming, and better land—more productive land, and at one-fifth the price of the land you are trying to farm.

We bought it in large tracts and will sell it in smaller tracts at close figures. The land is all personally selected, and no culled pieces. Tell us just the kind of land you want, and we ll show ycu a piece that we know will win you. We also have a large number of improved and partially improved farms.

McCarthy is a wonder. Not Pitched Whole Game in National League. Tommy McCarthy, who formerly pitched for the Imperials of this city has made a peculiar record this season which probably has never been equaled from a similar standpoint by any other national league twirler. Although th e season is not half over he has been with three different clubs in the national league but has not yet pitched a whole game although he has the highest per cent for the number of games won. He participated in a part of a game with Cincinnati against St. Louis and is given credit for winning th e game, notwithstanding the fact that he was taken out to stave off defeat. His per cent is 1.006. From Cincinnati he went to Pittsburg. Her e he was never given a trial, except having been sent to bat for another player, in the last inning of a game. Now he has been swapped to Boston where he is still permitted to draw his salary and sit on the bench. —Bluffton Banner. —o- — —— TO THE PHILLIPINES (Continued from Page One) gent students on th e roll. His grades were very creditable. In the civil service examination he recently took. Mr. Segur had the coveted average of 94 per cent. While awaiting the returns from his examination. Bert went to Angola, where he took a semi-nor-mal course of study. The government position which has justly been given to this enterprizing young man carries with it the neat salary of $1,400 per year, as a starter, with periodical advances, and all of his expenses are paid by the government for his transportation from Chicago to the Philippines and all other accruing expenses necessary in his travels. The very best wishes of all Decatur people accompany Mr. Segur to his far off home. o — FOR SALE —Davis Plantation.

NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY. ( Invention Makes Possible Establishment of Linen Mills Here That Will Save Large Part of the $20,000,000 Now Spent Abroad Every Year For This Fabric. Since Eli Whitney invented the cot- 1 ton gin there has been no development , In the textile Industry more Important < than the discovery of a process of linen 1 making commercially practicable un- , der American labor conditions. The ■ earlier Massachusetts Inventor's prob- ( lem was the separation of the cotton seed from the fiber. The problem that . has now been solved by another Massaebusetts genius, B. C. Mudge, was much more complicated. He had to find away to wrest the linen fiber from the flax straw, clean - It of its woody envelope, remove the natural gums of the plant, bleach the fiber, clean and make it ready for spinning As this w»rk is done in the European countries by methods that have changed little in the past 2,000 years, it takes from sixteen to thirty weeks to transform flax into linen. The < Mudge process in actual commercial operation does the same work in twelve hours! Americans have been paying Europe over $20,000,000 a year for linen because the expense of old world methods of making this fabric is prohibitive with the higher priced labor of the United States. The Oxford linen mills of Boston, that now have absolute control of the Mudge process, will change all this. They can not only save from sixteen to thirty weeks of Uwe, but get more fiber from a given amount of straw after the seed crop has been harvested. The “scutching" of the straw is done by machines and the remaining treatment of the flax by chemicals. From the date of Whitney’s invention the cotton industry has grown until its product is now valued at $500,000,000 a year. Tbe Oxford linen mills are now founding another colossal textile industry. Using a raw material that costs less than one-third as much as cotton and with the economies of production brought about by the new process, these mills are only the pioneers of many that will soon be turning out linens of every grade with which the foreign product cannot compete. Work is being rapidly pushed on the equipment of mills at several points, and orders are being taken for early delivery of their product. The great New York bouse of H. B. Claflin & Co. in giving an order the other day for 25,000 yards of linen crash told the representatives of the Oxford mills, “If you can furnish goods like this, you need seek no other market, as wa will take all you can manufacture.” PROGRESS OF SCHOOL CITY. Presidtnt Roosevelt One Supporter of New Plan to Teach Good Government In Public School*. Lyman Beecher Stowe in the current number of the Circle teils the story of the School City, originated by Wilson L. Gill as a method of student self government, which has spread until there la today a School City in practically every state, with some 400 or more in the entire country. Mr. Stowe says: “The School City method is applied by the establishing in schools of miniature democracies modeled as closely as is practicable upon our state and city governments. “It has two important purposes—first to teach the children to govern and discipline themselves under supervision and again to supplement their text book instruction in the theories of civil government by showing them the governmental machine in actual operation, in which operation they are one and all active parts, with a work to do and a responsibility to share. “Mr. Gill is the president of the Patriotic league, an organization formed primarily tt> give moral support to the cause of civic education. President Roosevelt, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Jacob Riis and many other able, distinguished and patriotic men are now on his board. Mr. Gill in financ Ing this work practically alone has been reduced from the luxury of wealth to the pinch of poverty. Now that the movement has been tried in the balance and has not been found wanting is it not time that public spirited men came to the rescue? “When we realize that our corrupt and boss ridden cities are the feature of our democracy which has proved most nearly a failure, can we as Americans allow one man longer to fight almost single handed a battle the outcome of which is of such vital concern to our entire republic?” Any one interested in the School City can reach Mr. Gill by addressing him in care of the Circle. French Government Adopts American Idea. The order just Issued by the French minister of posts and telegraphs that letters may be telegraphed at night for a nominal charge, to be delivered at destination by mail, 1b an adaptation of the scheme announced two months ago by the Telepost This company, whose plans for the establishment of a national telegraph system are going rapidly forward, will transmit fifty word “teleposts" for 25 ceuta between any two points on its lines. Its rate for telegrams delivered by messenger is twenty-five words for 25 cents without regard to distance. A method of bluing small steel goods by dipping is to melt saltpeter in an iron pot, then immerse the previously polished and cleaned articles until sufficiently blued.
