/ Correction.
In our last issue we had a lit
tle write-up of the beating ot
one Stephen Faircloth at Ben
son, by three parties: Hodge,
Draughon and Musselwlute.
We were informed of the all air
by reliable parties, who thought
it to be a positive fact. How
ever, we have learned since that
Mr. Faircloth is not a dead man,
though the beating actually oc
curred .
We hasten to make the correc
tion, and hope the whole troub
le is not so serious as reported.
A newspaper whose columns
overflow with advertisements ot
business men has more inllu
ence in attracting attention to
building up a town than any
other agency that can be em
ploved. People go where there
is business. Capital and labor
go where there is an enterpris
ing community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up a
town as a newspaper well pat
ronized, and its power should be
appreciated. —T. DeWitt lal
mage.
"The man who thinks that it
doesn't pay to put a business
announcement in a newspaper
because it is already well-filled
with advertisements is laboring
under a delusion. The adver
tisements of a newspaper are re
garded by the people as a busi
ness directory, and it is natural
for people to be on the lookout
for the ad. of some establish
ment that tells them where they
can satisfy their wants.
Mary had a little lamb—
You do not look surprised :
Of course you don't for Mary
has
Widely advertised.
And something you may learn
from this,
If you are not a clam —
You can be just as widely known
As Mary and her lamb.
Your name can be a household
word
And you be known so well
That folks will confidently buy
The things you have to sell.
And when you once have got
yourself
Into the clearing rays
Of the sunlight of publicity
You bet your life it pays.

A CARD.
In retiring from the music de
partment of the Dunn High
School, I take this method ol
expressing my sincere gratitude
to all my patrons and friends
for the very liberal patronage
1 have received. Your kind
ness to me and your apprecia
tion of my labors with your
children will ever remain with
me as the most pleasant recol
lections of the three years in
Dunn. I have learned to love
very dearly the pupils under my
care and wish to say in parting
with them, cultivate obedience,
studiousness and the Christian
graces for these are the highest
marks of the pupil.
My card would be incomplete
should I omit saying a word
about the Principal of the
school. He has, indeed, been
very kind and thoughtful to
wards me and the department
of which 1 had charge. Mr.
Ezzell works patiently with his
pupils, trying in every way to
lead them to a higher life of
mental and moral culture.

of the one I now have, I am
able to give the public better \
service than at any time before. ,

Dunn Gains Another Victory.
Last Thursday about twenty
. live of our people joined the
• baseball team and went up to
the thriving town of Smithfiekl,
• where Smith field, had made
great preparation to defeat
Dunn in this their second game.
When the news came that they
would play only three men from
' their town and that they had
• sent all over the State to secure
six of the best players, our
Iboys felt a little shaky in the
- knees, but they would not back
down. On finding that it was
impossible to carry even the
regular team up on Thursday
they picked up two or three
; "scrubs" from our town and
went up. Smith field had the
best they could get, however,
they went down in defeat.
Both teams in the course of
" the game made some costly er-
rors, which caused the score to
" run up. The main feature of
' the game was pitching uf Jor
• dan and the catching of Ran
dall. Both did excellent play
( ing, in fact the whole team
made some good plays that we
r might make mention of.
> It is evident that the Smith
field boys were confident of win
ning the game as they had their
"rooters" out with horns, bells
and other noisy instruments to
■ guy our boys.
At the end of the seventh in
; ning the score stood even, our
f boys asking tiie umpire to cail
. the game as it was sprinkling
) rain, but the Smith field boys
- would not agree to this, prom
. ising to give us our inning.
> Jordan went in the box and
• threw ten balls and three of
. their boys bit at the dust, not
i even folding it. Dunn came to
t the bat with Fitzgerald up and
. Randall to follow, both making
, base hits, little Jordan came
. next, knocked a pop fiy and out,
big Jordan followed with a two
base hit bringing in the two
. men and going to second, at
. this stage of the game the
. Smithfield boys seeing they
I were defated, told the umpire
r to call the game, not giving our
[ boys their half of the eighth in
ning as promised, still it was
rainiug no harder then than
[ when our boys were in the field.
. They virtually gave up the
game but afterwards tried to
. call the game a tie.
The score was 8 to t> in favor
of Dunn with only one man out
on our half of the eighth inning.
They play well but can't beat
Dunn.
A New Party for Bryan.
i
Definite steps towards the or
| ganization of a new "third
party," which is proposed to
embrace Missouri and to form
i the nucleus for a national
growth were taken today in
Kansas City at a conference of
■ members of the Populist State
. committee and a few Silver Re
, publicans. The movement is
said to have the expressed sym
pathy for, if not the avowed
support of, Wm. J. Bryan,
who, it is further hinted, is to
he the new party's candidate
for President in 15)04.
Lee Meriwether, of St. Louis,
and 22 other leaders in the Pub
lic Ownership party of St.
. Louis, arrived in Kansas City
, during the morning, after hav
i ing spent the whole of yester
. day in consultation with Mr.
: l>ryan at Lincoln. They are
» guarded in statements concern
. ing Mr. Bryan, but say if the
. latter does not support the
• present movement he is, at any
, rate, in sympathy with its pur
. pose. Today's conference was
secret. It will be continued
to-morrow and end with a pub
lic meeting when the result of
the gathering will be embodied
in an address.
The meeting was first sug
gested by Mr. Cook, in a circu
lar letter asking a conference
with the Silver Republicans
and the Public Ownership party
leaders. In response to this,
Lee Meriwether issued a call
for the meetiDg today to the
men of his party and .J. W.
Foster, of St. Joseph, issued a
similar call to the Silver Repub
licans. The conference was to
include middle-of-the-road Pop
ulists and all Democrats and
Republicans who might sympa
thize with the reform move
ment.—Kansas City dispatch,

The doctors are all friends *of
e ours. We expect them to stay
0 with us until death. Yet, at
the risk of incurring their dis-
P pleasure, we reproduce the fol
t lowing which we find credited
, to Ex. We don't know where
' it came from any more than we
u know whose rainspout the doc
-1 tor's medicine comes from. If
3 we knew the author we would
gladly give his name, because
(1 the article is really good. Here
k :
* The doctor from Algona said
e that the newspapers are run for
revenue only. What in the
thunder do doctors run for,
j any way? Do they run for
t > glory? One good healthy doc
tor's bill would run this oifice
' for six months.
An editor works a half a day
for $3, with an investment of
$3,000 ; a doctor looks wise and
j- works ten minutes for $2OO,
with an investment of three
cents for catnip and a pillbox
that cost $1.37.
j A doctor goes to college for
~ two or three years and gets a
diploma and a string of words j
the devil himself can not pro- j
nounce, cultivates a look of
gravity that he palms off for
_ wisdom, gets a box of pi 1 Is, a
( cayuse and a meat saw and
sticks out his shingle a full
lleged doctor. He will then doc
tor you until you die at a stipu
j lated price per visit, and puts
t them in as thick as your pock
* etbook will permit.
An editor never gets his edit- j
cation finished, lie learns as.
I long as he lives, and studies all :
(•litis life, lie eats bran mash
t and liver ;he takes his pay in
3 turnips and hay, and keeps the
I doctor in town by refraining
r from printing the truth about
him.
If we didn't get some glory
j out of it we would agree to take
. one of his pills after first saying
t our prayers, If the editor
L> makes a mistake he has to apol
ogize for it. But if the doctorl
V °
e makes a mistake he buries it.
j. If we make one there i- a law
suit. tall swearing and smell of
_ sulphur, but if the doctor makes
june there is a funeral, cut flow
ers and a smell of varnish. The
L , doctor can use a word a foot |
r, | long but if the editor uses it he j
| has to spell it.
j.j If the doctor goes to >* e an-'
( other man's wife ho will charge]
the man for the visit. If the!
t editor calls on another man's]
wife he gets a charge of buck-,
shot. Any medical college can!
make a doctor. You can't make
an editor. He has to be bom
one.
The editor works to keep
. from starving, while the doctor
j works to ward off the 2>ut.
I, The editor helps nv n to live
[j better, and the doctor assists
] them to die easy.

f leg, the editor is glad if he col

only? We are living for fun
