ABQUT THE "BAD BOY."
It would be difficult to imagine
anything funnier than Mr. George V.
Peck's book, " The Bad Boy and His
Pa," but a funnier creation does not
exist than Mr. Pidgin's play of the
same name. This is because word
. painting, no matter how clever,
cannot be as vivid as actual action.
You laugh when you read ,the Bad
Boy's tricks, but you roar when
you see the same boy, in flesh and
blood, perform those tricks. "Peck's
Bad Boy " is a famous work. For
. the benefit of the many who are
a acquainted with the ,piece, it may
, be stated that the cast is much
, . improved, and that the play has re
. jceived additions which are decidedly
.. aide splitting and surprising.

fT. U. Sweppenheiser, of Centre,
lost a valuable horse on Sunday. It
appears that about three weeks ago
the animal, while tied at a post was
bitten by a mad dog said to belong to
Joseph Fausey, the same dog that bit
the Kline girl and colored boy at
Espy. Mr. Sweppenheiser was very
careful and watched his horse closely
to discover, if possible, any symptoms
of madness. All seemed right until
Sunday when the animal became mad
and could not be controlled. All was
done for it that they could ,possibly
think -of, but of no avail, and as a last
resort it was shot.

"TAKEN IN."
" I used often to read the newspaper aloud
to-my wife, "said Bert Robinson, "nnd once
I was fairly ' taken in ' by a patent medicine
advertisement The seductive paragraph
began with a modest account of the Bea
serpent, but ended by setting forth the vir
tuescf Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery, which, it was alleged, was a cure for
all Bronchial, Throat nnd Lung troubles,
and would even cure Consumption, if taken
In time. The way I was taken in was this :
I had lung disease, and 1 bought a bottle
of the remedy; I was a stranger to it, and it
took me in and cured me." Robinson's
experience is identical with that of thou,
sands of others. So true is this, that after
witnessing, for many years, the marvelous
cures of Bronchial, Throat and IYung affec
tions wrought by this wonderful remedy,
its manufacturers feel warranted in say
ing that this remedy will cure cS per
rent, of all cases of consumption, if taken
in the earlier stages of the disease. This
may seem like a bold assertion to those
familiar only with the means generally in
use for its treatment; as, nasty cod liver oil
and its filthy emulsions, extract of malt,
whiskey,' different preparations of hypo
phosphites and such like palliatives.
The photographs of a large number of
(hose cured of consumption, bronchitis, lin
ering cougbfl, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh
and kindred maladies, have been skillfully
reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will
be mailed to you, on receipt of address and
six cents in stamps. You can then write
those cured and learn their experience.

NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICAL
0BUMB8.
During a discussion of newspapers
at a recent meeting of the Sunset
Club in Green Bay, Wis., a suggestion
was offered by a representative of the
Advocate of that place to the effect,
that newspapers were too often ex
pected to feed upon the crumbs
which fall from the party table that
while hundreds of dollars may be ex
pended in torchlight processions and
the enormous fee paid some noted
speaker, the newspaper, which is the
greatest vote-winner of the age, gener
ally finds that its services are not
properly appreciated.
No reputable newspaper wants
"boodle," said the speaker. There
is a wide distinction between a just
compensation for services rendered
and "boodle." When notices are in
serted which are printed for no other
purpose than to advertise a coming
caucus, convention or rally, then they
should be paid for without more ques
tion than a merchant would pay for a
notice announcing a clearing out sale.
A newspaper is expected to give the
facts as it finds them, and if it thinks
that the principles of a certain party
are the better for the country, it
should not attempt to conceal that
belief. It should labor incessantly
for the success of that party to which
it belongs, but it should not be asked
for other than legitimate services.
If extra papers are printed for
special occasions, they should be
paid for. If a certain candidate de
sires to have a column article printed
regarding himself, he should at least
inquire what it is worth.
The following experience was relat
ed by another newspaper man : "Dur
ing the last campaign, I engaged an
extra reporter at a salary of $15 a
week for two months. I printed
article after article lauding the worthi
ness of the several candidates for the
office they aspired to. I published
notice after notice announcing rallies,
etc.; and when the campaign was over
a single candidate came in and thank
ed me, and he was one that was not
elected. No other member of the
committee has spoken to me since,
and while some of the candidates
might have referred to the matter, not
one of them has done so."
The method to rectify this feeling,
which is all too evident in political
parties, is through the manifestation of
independence by the newspaper; by
serving its readers in a manner that
they must respect ; by being uniformly
truthful and just in its treatment of
party questions and party leaders and
candidates. For the newspaper to
magnify the excellencies and cover up
the weaknesses of its own party and
to conceal the excellencies and mag
nify the weaknesses of the opposite
party, is to eventually terminate in
journalistic degradation and invite the
leaders of political parties to consider
their party papers as institutions
which deserve neither respect nor
legitimate support. Newspaperdom.
The foregoing truthfully depicts the
experience of nearly every newspaper
publisher. Many years ago we discov
ered that the only successful way to
conduct a newspaper, is to let the po
liticians fight their own personal bat
tles, and to keep out of factional fights
and intrigues. It has been our policy
to decline to participate editorially in
newspaper quarrels, or to volunteer a
defense of any one attacked by other
papers, when the persons most inter
ested have not seen fit to defend
themselves. Our columns are always
open to anyone who has anything to
say over his own name, and when mis
representations have been made, we
are always willing to publish the facts
correctly, if the interested party has
seen fit to furnish us with the material
to set him right before the public.
With a business that occupies his en
tire attention, a publisher ought not to
be expected to spend his time on work
for which he gets no pay, and, in
most instances is not even thanked
for his trouble. The columns of a
newspaper are the editor's stock in
trade, just as much as are the goods
on the shelves of the merchant. They
belong to him, and out of them he
expects to make his living. Why
then should they be given away with
out compensation ?
Editors are frequently accused of
cowardice because they refuse to
print articles to which the writer is
afraid to sign his name 5 and we know
that we have been called "the silent"
because we have refrained from parti
cipation in personal quarrels through
our columns, but the results in busi
ness have been such as to fully satisfy
us that the policy pursued has been
the correct one, and we propose to
adhere to it.

At thi residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick K. Barber, on Wednesday
evening, occurred the pretty quiet
wedding which united Miss Betsey
Robison Barber and Chatlcs W.
Bachelor. The home was beautifully
decorated and brilliantly lighted.
The bride was dressed in a simple
cream silk, the simplicity of which
tended to accent the natural dignity
and grace of her carriage. Promptly
at eight oVlock the bride entered the
parlor on the arm of her father, she
was met at the north end of the
parlor by the groom and Rev. Barrett.
Standing under a beautiful floral bell
the vows were exchanged. After the
ceremony dainty refreshments were
served in the dining room.
M Miss Bessie " hast hosts of friends
and admirers in the city where she
has passed so many years of her girl
hood and all join in good wishes for
her future. Though only relatives
and most intimate friends of the bride
were bidden to the wedding, the gifts
were many and valuable, testifying
to the high regard in which the bride
is held.
Mr. Bachelor is one of our promi
nent business men and stands well in
the esteem of all. Mr. and Mrs.
Bachelor left for their new home in
the west side in the midst of a shower
of rice and good wishes. McPherson

The bride is a niece of Capt. J. B.
