IS JOUR F. MORRIS SHUT?
Grand Jury
Now Working on his
Books.
Some days ago Ordinary Page
called upon Mr. John If. Naim,
Johnson county’s Ex-Tax Collect¬
or, for a settlement of his accounts,
but for some reason tbe settlement
has been deferred, and today the
committee appointed by the lost
grand jury to examine the books of
the county officials, are working on
Mr. Norris books, Messrs. John D.
Stephens, John L. Martin and W.
T. Walker composing the commit¬
tee.
Today was the time appointed
by Judge Page for Ex-Tax Collec¬
tor Norris to appear before him
and make a final showing for the
{unfit collected by him while in
office, but the hearing will now
probably be deferred till the
grand^ jury committee completes
its work.
Tlie receipt book of Mr. Norris
is considerably mntilsted, many
whole leaves, including the stubs,
being torn from it, leaving no
trace of what bad been entered
upon them, if anything.
Mr. Norris acknowledges a
shortage of nearly $1,000.00, and
offered to give his note to Judge
Page iu settlement for
nmouut, but the ordinary insists
upon an accurate and correct set¬
tlement according to all the books
and accounts of the office.
Just what the results will
can only be accurately giveu at
the completion of the investiga¬
tion.
Words are like sunbeams—the
more they are condensed, the deep¬
er they burn.
Ono man is always made up of
two—the ideal and real person.
In bis own thoughts, usually, the
conceited man poses as the ideal
character. He conceives of him¬
self aa being just such a man as
ho ought to be. It is a delusion
very gratifying to his viuity. He
does'not iei his ohief faults or
realize his commonest mistakes
aufi failures. But to his friends
atidraeighbors it is oftener the ac¬
tual man who is visible, the man
in everyday clothes, who lives in
tile basement instead of among
the clouds.—S. S. Times.
A Good advertisement says prac¬
tically the same thing to a pros¬
pective purchaser as the salesman
says in the store.
Poking fuu at a delinquent
through the columns of your paper
rarely nets you a cent. A man
who don't pay for his paper won’t
pay for it unless be is made to;
and aa long as you joke with him,
he will never think you are mad
enough with him to fight about it.
And really, you are just that hopp¬
ing mad. —Ex.
Men do not lay aside advertising

No Apples Wanted.
Au Iowa editor has uo faith in
the apple cure. He says: “Some
fool is writing for the papers that
apples eaten just before retiring is
a help to digestion. We tried it
and about 2 o’clock we dreamed
that a fierce dragon with a peagreen
tail and eyes as big as a soup plate
was carving us up with a meat knife
and a sword. We dually woke to
find our good.wife fanning us with
a bed. slat and trying to get baby

The way to get peoplo interested

The Presidential campaign fund
is the most profitable investment
in the country. The Sugar trust
lias tried it twice and cleared sever
thousand percent on each invest¬
ment.
The trusts and monopolies con¬
tribute to the democratic campaign
fund and to the republican cam¬
paign fund, but no trust or monop¬
oly contributes to the people’s par¬
ty campaign fund.
Do yon see the point, voter?
The people’s party alone can
strike the trusts and moncpolios a
deadly bloW, because that party
alone can shoot among the trusts
without killing its best friends.

The man who always acts just

If man has a good thing—an ar¬
of commerce needed by the
and which he wishes to dis¬
pose of—let him advertise by all

do not realize that they are iu want

The tougue of the tattler is al¬

Thinks Newspapers too Cheap. -
The viciousness of our newspaper
situation is in having all their profit

means of circulation. The circulation

A nice tsUe to begin store adver¬

The man who can analyze his
religion never bus very much.
“All the world and his wife,” as
the French say, comprise a large

have commodities to sell. The best
commodities are those who
have been best advertised.
You can’t always tell a man’s

A snake story backed by affidavits
from Bridgeport, Ind., on the
Motion railway, says a dispatch to the
Chronicle, James Jacltson
a 300-pound prize hog, which
was grazing in a field. John Burroughs,
a neighbor, in passing a field, saw a six
foot black anake gazing intensely at
the hog, which was seemingly return¬
ing the star* with interest. Neither
moved a muscle so long as Burroughs
watched the perfoinaiice,and becoming
tired of the spectacle, he slipped up
and struck the snake with a club, break¬
ing its back. As the snake wiggled
and removed its gaze from the bog the
animal gave one intense equal, fell over
and died. Examination showed that
its back had been broken similar to that
of the snake,and that it was under hyp¬
notic influence.
