A Razor Used.

Friday night while Jake Yarner and Kim Duncan were taking a ride, when in front of the Blue Goose saloon where Neal Webb and his brother were standing, Vacner made a remark at which Neal Webb took offense after a few words were passed'between them, Webb struck at Varner with a razor, Duncan thinking it was a revolver caught the razor and received a cut on the hand. Varner's remark which was not understood by Webb was not intended in any way to do him in jury and was explained satisfactorily.

To Headers Of The Daily Republcan.

The fact has been proven time and again that the business man or firm who advertise their business and invite the people to trade with them are the energetic, pushing, active business men of the place in which they reside, and that they are the most liberal men with whom to deal. At the same time, they make the effort to supply their customers with what they want. Therefore, we urge upon all readers of The Daily REPUBLICAN to always consult its colums before trading anywhere. Bargains are offered through its colums every day and these can be learned by examining the pages of this paper. ltf

Resolutions.

Resolved, That we tender our warmest sympathies to his afflicted companion, bereft family and friends and while mourning with them we commend them to Him who alone can comfort the sorrowing heart, and we invoke upon them thr rich blessings of a merciful Father.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our Sunday school and published in the county papers and in the church paper.

Tlie Fidelity Insurance Company Once Tried All Others Rejected.

Some ageats of other companies endeavor to make a point against the Fidelity Mutual Life Association, by repre senting that the company is not able to fulfill it's contracts, owing to its low priced premiums. This is either ignorance or known envy on the part of such agents for wnile its rates are about 30 percent, below the fixed premiums of old line companies, it challanges actuaries and insurance experts, if disposed to question the sufficiency of its rates, to point out any record of insurance experience had in this country during the last century that at The Fidelity's I rates would have caused an impairment. We know that there is no such experience, and that there is not now and never has been a company in existence which, in the adoption of its plans, observed the laws of mortality that exhausted rates equivalent to those adopted by The Fidelity for its legitimate needs. The actual resources of The Fidelity are, therefore, equal to any demands that can be made upon it, according to past insurance experience, and has contingent resources to meet any unforeseen emergency. This renders the security offered to policy-holders absolute.

In short, we may sum the whole matter up by Baying that The Fidelity is neither an old-line company nor an as sessment company, in the usual sense of that term, but ig a corporation which operates the "Fouse System" of life insurance, embracing the strong points of all others, while eliminating their weaknesses. Respectfully,

Tendency to Belittle the Fast.

Heriea to Which the World Owes the Bigpst Debt—Passing Away of the Grand Ariry.

[Copyright, 1806.]

ERE seems to be a growing tendency to belittle the past, to shatter the idols which earlier generations had erect

ed. The iconoclast is getting to be more and more in evidence, and as an exponent of the age takes the place of the hero worshiper. If such an uncompromising and cynical spirit has its useful Bide, it also presents a serious eviL it helps to kill the flame of enthusiasm which tendls more than any other element in the human heart to inspire the young to live beautiful, self sacrificing, or, if the occasion comes, heroic lives. Gibbon, in speaking of the age of the Antonines, says it is "marked by the rare advantage of furnishing very few materials for history, which is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of man."

It is true that the majority of careless, pleasure seeking people eat, drink and are merry on May 30, very much as they are on any other holiday. Probably many think of it merely as a day of junketing. With the exception of the Grand Army, and of those audiences, large or small, who assemble to hear speechmaking, often very commonplace and conventional, no one takes much part in the exercises of the day. But, in spite of all this, the thought gets itself impressed on the heart that there is a meaning in this day of deep significance. Even the merriest idler will not escape some glint, though it be but a tiny spark, Of the great truth that—

Whether- on the scaffold high Or in the battlo's van, The noblest place for man to die

Is whero ho dies for man—

and that to be a sleek and well groomed "hog of Epicurus' sty" is, after all, not the most desirable raison d'etre for a rational and self respecting human being. He may not have occasion to carry sentiment to the extent of dying for his country, as did so many of the heroes, known and unknown, whose statues or whose graves he sees decorated with flowers by reverent hands. But ho can at all events live well and purely for himself and family and his community, and in doing this for his country he does the next best thing to dying well for her. The first named, too, is often the more difficult thing, for it involves steady and persistent battle against insidious and beguiling forces, while a heroic death is frequently only a matter of impulse brilliant and instantaneous as the lightning flash.

It has been estimated by competent authority that in that catalogue of war from 1861 to 1865 more than 300,000 northern soldiers died, either on the field of battle or afterward, or as an effect of their wounds within a few years. But few of these men wore officers' insignia. Their names were not mentioned in publio dispatches. In fact, to a very great extent they are not even known except to those hearts which suffered by their loss. They died like the coral polyps, on the top of whose stony tombs the brilliant and shining inlands of the Pacific have taken root. "Hoi Polloi" was the greatest hero of the war, and all other glory, be it Grant, a Sherman, a Sheridan or a Farragut, or all of them together, must grow dim before the splendor of that aureole. It is this nation perhaps which for the growing mind should plant the richest seed. It is not those Names most widely blown by Fume's engrossing trump to whom the world owes the biggest debt, but to the rugged, stubborn, patient worn in living and dying, which made the more showy deed possible.

It will not be many years before the men who actually participated in the civil war will be reduced to a mere handful. The Grand Army of the Republic will have swept into the unknown within the next quarter of a century almost as completely as that grand army of Napoleon whose blood reddened the snow in the most dreadful retreat of history. But as long as Memorial day endures its life and soul will not have departed.

One of Heine's most beautiful poems— that Heine whose statue has recently become so tired in seeking a resting place—depicts the specter tramp of Napoleon's grand army. The memory of army hosts will not fade, nor will the reverberation of their tramp cease from out of the lives of man. Perhaps indeed the things connected with the civil war will evoke a more poignant and passionate interest in the next generation. It is rather noticeable that there has been during the last ten years a great revival of interest in Revolutionary history and personages. These have grown at the expense of that fascination previously exercised over our generation by the tragedy of the later war, a drama perhaps represented so often as to grow a little stale.

But as time passes and our children take our places the rehearsal of that tremendous convulsion will arouse more than pristine fjreshness of interest. "The hand of little employment"hath the daintier sense." Just as now fashionable society is all agog with Sons of the American Revolution, etc., eo then will the Sons of the Crvil War, taking the place of the Grand Army and other similar societies, revive with keener vividness thqn ever the tremendous memories blustered aboufc Memorial day.
