A BILLION DOLLARS. Birch, the manager of the Guggenheim Alaska syndicate, ought to know what the Cunningham claims are worth. Nine hundred million dollars is the value of the claims according to the testimony brought out before Senator Beveridge's committee. The people you, are expected by Ballinger, to regard $25MMJO for this treasure worth nearly a billion, as quite satisfactory. Mr. Ballinger's attorney has been trying. to make out that these lands do not amount to so very much after all. As Glavis was not able to tell, not being a coal expert, just how much the land is

worth, he was accused of manufacturing a cock and bull story. He was forced to admit that this by no means covers the entire coal field, which the Ballinger forces said was a sure proof that this was a very small affair. Now that the syndicate itself has admitted that the lands are worth nearly a billion of dollars, it may be that the people will not regard it as such a serious breach of etiquette on the part of Glavis and Mr. Pinchot to have called the attention of the nation to the fact that this was going out of their hands by fraudulent means. As Mr. Ballinger was attorney for this syndicate he of course, was not in a position to know how valuable these lands were.

From Far and Near

Reno's Good Season. From the New York World. Pittsburg gauges its prosperity by the output of its steel mills, Kansas City by the shipments of hogs, Palm Beach by the hotel registers and Reno by the divorce records. This season the Nevada town is doing a rushing business. Its hotels are swamped and all the spare cottages occupied. By another year solid property-holders look for a keen speculation in desirable lots in the foothills commanding a view of the courthouse. The history of Nevada is a succession of booms. It took a bis spurt in the bonanza days and then went back. When its rival silver kings were seizwith the senatorial ambition money flowed like water in the capital's streets. For a brief spell in 1S97 the Corbett-Kitzsimmons fight brought back good times, but the glory of the state soon passed and California usurped its place as the sanctuary of pugilism. In the Tonopah excitement a new crop of millionaires was produced, but when things were at their best a mischief-making: legislature decided to abolish gambling. One after another of the state's sources of income had dwindled and dried up before the. possibilities of the divorce industry were discovered.

THE BEST TOWN. Richmond is the best town in the State. And right now, we ant to say, is the best opportuniy that young men have ever had in this town or in the community surrounding Richmond. This is said at the risk of being smiled at. This is also said, at the risk of being misunderstood. And more than that, at the risk of saying what everybody knows.

One of the most sorrowful bits of news that ever was printed about the town of Richmond, was that list of over two hundred men who rose to eminence In the railroads o fthe United States. When the Chicago Tribune published it a few years ago. the town rejoiced To that list there might have boon added as many more who had made good in other lines. Now, Richmond does not rejoice that it has sent away several hundred men who have been conspicuaus successes. If the dynamic force of fifty of those men had been expended in Richmond, in building it up, and treating wealth, think of what Richmond would be now!

Young men are not going out of the town in the way that they used to. We do not believe this is for any lack of opportunity nor ambition. Everywhere the young men are getting together to work for the development of this part of the country. Out in the country the farmers' boys are getting together to learn how to make the most of helping what is right around them. Three hundred boys met the other day and banded in the movement for scientific farming. The wealth created will be for the oenefit of the whole community. That is an event for the whole district surrounding Richmond. Those who believe in Richmond, believe that it is in far better shape than it has ever been before. Right now, then, we want to say that Richmond is beginning to believe in conservation. When the Jifeblood went out of the small towns in New England those towns are dead. There are a lot of abandoned towns and villages and farms in New Kngland. Some or the most illustrious and successful men in the country were born in New England but thai, does not help that part of the country now. They moved someplace else.

Richmond is the best town in the state. If the young men will keep on working in all this part of the state it will be the best town and country in the United States.

SOME ONE WILL SA Y. "Some one will say," said the Hon. Jim Watson at Rushville, ' that I am attacking someone." "Some one will say that I am attacking Senator Albert J. Beveridge." When his handiwork was placed to view and several persons in this district did fulfil the predictions of James E. Watson, he was vociferously hurt. As a matter of fact he had only been keeping the Republican party from being dragged in the dust by lies and deceit. He, himself, said so. No doubt it is from the same feeling of goodwill for the welfare of the party that Mr. Watson has appeared before the Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to protest against the appointments o,f Senator Beveridge. Hitchcock was sought out as his agent to go to the President and deprive Beveridge from his patronage. Doubtless such tactics are for the advancement of the Republican party in this state and not for Watson's own use. This may be another case which demands Mr. Watson's disinterested attention to keep the whole party from defeat next fall.

Isn't it just possible that there is something in that rumor to the effect that if they can defeat Beveridge, Watson and Hemenway will be willing to advise the administration as to the patronage at its disposal? The administration has, so far, failed to use the advice of Mr. Watson.

Craft Versus Reform. From the Chicago News. Philadelphia has no intention ofadopting reform government so long as the graft holds out.

Honoring Peary. From the Springfield Republican. it is still possible for some one to suggest that Mr. Peary be retired as a major general.

Again in Business. From the Baltimore American. The Mad Mullah has broken out again. The last time he stayed dead for quite a while.

Spring. From the Troy Record. The baseball schedules are being discussed and adopted. This is a sign of approaching spring which is not to be denied.

Schools as Social Centers. From the Chicago Record-IIerald. At last the school management committee of the board of education has recommended, at the instance of Supt Young and the Juvenile Protection League, the opening of one of the schools on two evenings and one afternoon each week for social and recreational purposes. The afternoon session is intended for mothers, and lectures on hygiene, the home, proper care of children and kindred topics will be arranged for them. At the evening sessions singing, games and gymnastics will be provided for the youngsters, who will thus be kept off the streets and out of questionable dance halls. It is to be hoied that the board will heartily indorse this proposal and take an already too long delayed step in the right direction. The opening of one school for the purposes specified will surely lead to the greater and wider use of other school buildings outside of the regular hours for study.

So Common! From the Boston Transcript. The new gold fields of Alaska are not expected to occasion the excitement that was produced by the dis-

Harmony. "What we want is harmony," said the statesman. "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum; "it makes me think of a glee club I used to belong to. Every fellow's idea of harmony was to pick his own key and sing so loud nobody else could be noticed."

Complications of Art. "That actress has become very egotistic," said the friend. "Yes." answered the manager; "she was such an uncertain proposition that we had to hire the best press agent in the business to boom her. Now she believes everything he writes about her."

A Rush For Solitude. "What are you going to do with that shotgun?" "Goin' huutin'," answered Farmer Corntossel, as he slammed the front gate behind him. "But you never kill anything."

"Don't want to. All I'm huntin' is

peace and quiet.'

That nothing could further accentuate. We ride for an hour and in that time we view Vast stretches of all sorts of scenery. We talk across seas and o'er continents, too And we're doing it all by machinery. No more do we greet with glad plaudits the brain Whose fancies are ardently lyrical. The public, 'tis plain, sees nothing to gain From sentiments sad or satirical. But hasten the pace in some newfashioned way Till the speed becomes almost satanical And the world will arise with a joyous "hooray!" All genius must now be mechanical.

Salt Eake City, Utah, Feb. 22. When Miss Geneva Parsons, "the giii

with the 'open soul " took the stand in the divorce suit between her par

ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Parsons.

she displayed evidence of an unfilial feeling toward her father. Once, asked as the relations existing between herself and her father, she said: "My father never lavished affection upon me, only money like a man would bet on a race horse when he hoped to win something. He wished to make me attractive for social purposes that was all." Stewart D. Walling conducted the cross-examination of Miss Parsons in an extremely considerate manner, but the witness, quick-witted and sharptongued, did not spare her inquisitor in her replies: No Moral Tape Measure. "How do you explain the measure of your affection for your father ?" asked the attorney. "I can hardly explain that, Mr. Walling," she replied, smiling. "You cannot measure affection by inches I know of no moral tape measure." "Did you ever tell anyone that you thought your father was a criminal?" asked the attorney. "I may have said that to you, Mr. Walling, but I said it as I would have talked to an attorney, or a doctor, or a priest, thinking it would be sealed. And I think if you were a gentleman it would not' be used now." But Miss Parsons later answered the question as to the measure of affection between father and daughter when she described a scene at the Brown Palace hotel in Denver on the return of herself and mother from Europe. On that occasion, she said, she refused to kiss her father when they met because she felt he was in the wrong in deserting her mother and herself, too. Unpleasant for Papa. Her father sat ten feet away during all the time Miss Parsons was testifying and writhed under the tongue lashing he received. Among other things Miss Parsons told of how she and her mother spent nearly $50,000 in three years in Europe. She told of having a special tutor in Genoa and later, when they went to Paris, she took up fencing, riding, painting, French and Italian and a few other studies and pursuits. Miss Parsons went over the ground previously covered by her mother and told of telepathic communication received by her "open soul" and of dreams that shed much light on the conduct of her father. So vivid were these dreams the mother was convinc

ed that her husband was being blackmailed and she wrote him: "Denver probably has fresh food for scandal." Miss Parsons confirmed the statement that her name had been used in a play written by D'Annunzio. She had translated the names for him her

self and she told her mother of the incident. She also testified that D.Anuunzio's plagarism of her poems was a fact. Her mother had previously testified that certain poems in a book of verse published by the poet were really written by Miss Parsons and that the great Italian poet has obtained them by telepathy. Parsons Takes Stand. Mr. Parsons then took the stand and told how, instead of deserting his wife and daughter, he had repeatedly cabled them to come home, warning them that their extravagance would drive

I then weighed about lit lbs. The first few doses gave me marked benefit and after using two boxes I was entirely cured.

its ability and that was the sole treatment which had been rendered. Now. this condition is extremely inimical to the comfort and health of the hundreds of pedestrians who daily traverse these districts in going to and from their work, aa well as to the school children. l-jgrlppe. colds, pneumonia and kindred complaints come only to easily during this sort of weather, and when the humidity of

the atmosphere is re-enforced by conditions underfoot r.s above described, a combination is formed which is exceedingly hard for the human body to overcome. it should not be much of a burden for the members of the sterner sex to attack their walks vigorously with shovels, and thus prevent the disagreeable after effects when the snow melts. The great majority of the families have a father, son or brother who could attend to this matter, or some man who would do so could be easily secured. I recommend the exercise as one calculated to create a good appetite and stir up a number of muscles which are all too little used in our sedentary life. By the way. 1 speak from experience. s my walk is entirely clean. Would it not be wise to have a movement started with our city fathers litokius toward the passage of an

him into bankruptcy. He said that after the remarriage of himself and his wife in 1901 their relations were pleasant and they continued so until he sent his warning of financial trouble and made a demand for a curtailment of expenses. During the day and for the first time in the trial both Mrs. Parsons and her daughter gave way to tears. That was when Mrs. Parsons testified that she had fondly dreamed of a peaceful, loving home with her husband dreams that were later shattered by other visions and by "telepathic messages" which she said revealed scandalous conditions in Denver, where Mr. Parsons then lived.

"On behalf of the sewing circle or this church," said the pastor at the conclusion of the morning service, "1 desire to thank the congregation for fifty-seven buttons placed iq the contribution box during the past month. If now the pbilanthropicall; inclined donors of these objects will put a half dozen undershirts and three pairs of other strictly secular garments on the plate next Sunday morning, so that we may have something to sew those buttons on. we shall be additionally grateful."

PROVEN ECZEMA CURE. For several years we have announced, with our recommendation, that we had found a positive cure for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil of wintergreen compounded with other healing ingredients. Yet we know there are people right in this town who have eczema, and still have never tried this remely. We have, therefore, arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special offer of a trial bottle at 23 cents instead of the $1.00 bottle as regularly sold. Be sure of the correct name: D. D. D. Prescription. We offer this trial bottle with oifr recommendation and assurance that just as soon as the patient washes his itching skin, this mild liquid will take the itch away instantly.

Chinese Opium Smugglers. Of opium smuggling in China a Yunnan correspondent writes: "The other day some men passed through several towns on the way to the capital with three coffins. In the first was a corpse. The other two were packed with opium. Being suspected at Yunnanfu, the flrst coffin was opened, but the carriers made as much noise as they could for having their coffin burst, and the second and third coffins were not examined. Quite common is it for men to travel in small crowds, smuggling opium from the province cf Kweichau. They travel by night only, by lantern light over the mountains, and in the day hide from any possible official searchers."

MASONIC CALENDAR.

Gentlemen: Will you please publish this little "wail" from one of your subscribers, which he makes with the hone that it will do some little good toward influencing public opinion in the matter? In these days of inclement weather, the writer has some seasonable remarks to make. Since the heavy snowfall, our sidewalks all over the city have been in a most wretched condition. Yesterday I took quite a long walk, extending over several streets, and on all of them I found much cause for complaint. The slush was from two to six inches in depth on at least half of the sidewalks traversed, and this state of affairs exists not only on obscure and little-used walks, but right on our dear Main street and in front of some of the best residences in the town. The snow plow had done its duty to the best of

Cooking a Mackerel. Many a dainty uose with beauty and fortune behind it has been airily elevated at the mention of plain, old fashioned salt mackerel, but never at the salt mackerel as cooked by the famous John Chamberlin of Washington. Here is the method to be used: Take one or more mackerel and soak about forty-eight hours, changing the water once. Then put them in a pan large enough to hold them, cover them with cream or the nearest you can get to it. put in oven and cook until cream is brown. This beats any mackerel cooking on earth.
