Burdetts Finds the Meanest Man in the Country. The meanest man in all this land of United America went down from Lin- coin. Nebraska, into Kansas, the other day. Mind vou, he wasn't Nrbras- kan; 'he ffas an inter-statft immigrant, coming from somewhere, east of the Mississippi. At Wymoro, theio is a uierchaiit who carries Lis stock in a basket, and he is famous; all the land over for his pop corn. He came on the car with his wares, and this mean man, who was traveling with his wife, 1 i 1 1 i e c h i 1 J c&pvrifti ps t h r ee ye: i and liis father-in-law, asketl the price of popcorn. "Five cents - a package." That vvw 3 too much. He didn't want any. Afu v the merchant left the car, the mean man said: "I want some .o that 'ere popcorn, bat I kin get it clieaper'ii . that." Presently he went out on the platform and said to the dealer iu the fruit that cheers, but not inebriate. ' "Sav mister, I want some o' that pop corn, bnt 1 hain't got only three ce.its. Now if you kin iemme have a paper of it fur three cents, all right; but I can't give no more fur it, becuuse I hain't got only that much monev.;' Well after someiiekering, the merchant finally let him have a paper of popcorn for three cents, and the mean man came into the -car, sat down beside his wife and little child, and began munching his popcorn. Never a crumb did he offer to anybody, lie was just enjoying it. He said: "I had enough money to buy his whole basketful," but I knovved I could git some fur less 'en live cents." As he munched, hi father-in-law and wife, seemed "'to understand that they were not in, on that treat, but the child be gan to iTach up its little dimpled lands, and in the sweetest, childish accents, b I," neg . tor son.e popcorn. Save to hold the package out of the reach of the pleading little hand?, 'the man paid not the slightest .attention to the baby, lint kept on eufing. Presently lilt; mt)thcr spoke to iTiin"" and "said the child wanted some of the corn. "Well," he replied," "if the child is any hungri- er en l am, an wants this popcorn n'Oie'n .1 do, he'd cught to have it," but he kept on eating it himself, and never a griin ,did the child get. Pret ty soon the littltt ftd'ow bfgan to ci for the corn. This inav have annoved the father, because lie soon j-rose, put the popcorn up in the rack out of the child's reach, and went into another car. lule I.e was gone, the child continued to cry and reach after the banquet, and the mother took the pop corn down ann gave some to the little one. While 'this was cm 112 on. the mean man came back. Furious! You never saw anything like it. He snatched the popcorn away from the child and poured a torrent of abuse upon his wife for daring to touch his popcorn. Then he put it back into the ack, and at intervals got up and ate some of it until it was all gone. Now in a case like this, and the above is a truthful narrative of an ac tual occurrence, 13 vo't. lynch law justifiable Is not that kind of a man more valuable and useful as a fertil izer, than anything else ? Is nt he a curse to society so Ions as he lives 1 And might he not prove a blessing to the medical student and barren land, when he dies 1 Then why not kill him and make a Llessinar of him 1 Th 0 world has no use for a mean man. A drunkard, a liar, a swearer, a tramp, a swindler, a murderer, may have some good traits, and have some sphere of usefulness in this world, but a mean man, pure and simple, Nature wasted mud when it made him. A scientist lecturing in Philadelphia on coal, says it takes a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal: that it is estimated that the present growth of the world would make a layer onlv one eighth of an inch thick, and that it would take one million years to form a coal bed 100 feet thick. The United States has an area of 440,000 square miles of ccal fields: 100 million tons of oal were mined in this 1 country last year: enough to run a ring round the earth ac the equator, five and a half feet ... . i wide v five and a half feet thick. an i there is enough coal in the United States to supply 'the whole world, for a period of from fifteen hundred to 2,000 years. When coal is burned for illuminating purpose?, at least ninety per cent is wasted. An Object Lesson for Imciigrants. Under the inspiriting influence, of the motto "A Head of Wheat is Better than a Book," and with the commend able" enterprise and energy in behalf of the best interests of the sUte that has characterized the action of those who manage the affairs oi the Board cf Immigration, details have been put afoot which, when complete, will result in thoroughly advertising 'Oregon, at least to the people of some of the west ern states. As soon as it is possible to obtain spe.ci mens of grain from the harvest fields of the current year, a car will be handsomely fitted out - with samples of what OregonY So fti the way of cerealsj minerals, woods, fruits, vegetables and descriptive matter; a thoroughly informed man will take up his abode therein, and the whole will be started, on a missionary tour. This is only made possible through the cour tesy of railway managers, who control roads to this point and those ra liatiu g from Chicago, Des Moines, Detroit and other points, have offered gratuitous transportation for Oregon's specimen car. It is the idea- to side-track the car at conntv fair towns, and ,othor in ferior places and make and' exhibit, or give a sort of illustrated lecture from the platform of this traveling immigra tion board. Nothing educates like an object lesson; 'nothing converts like visible and tangible things;-and we think our Board of Immigration have wisely chosen among ways of doing good to the state. Indeed -we think this plan could be pursued profitably even at the curtailment of expenditure in the rooms iu this eityl We should maintain our immigration headquarters here, but au immigration board in the iisld will make converts more rapidly, and mako them out of a better class we apprehnnd. Our Iowa visitots are en thusiastic over the plan of the Oregon car, and promise it a splendid reception at state and county fairs. We hope that our fanner friends will aid in this good work b; for ward iwg .choice sam j!es of grain, grasses, etc. to t!io State lioard in Portend. E.t. " ' .. - A Plucky Baak Cashier. A few weeks, ago a bank at Mitchell, Dak., P.nsf ended, and the affairs were placed in the hands of en assignee. The bank had a branch at White Lake, and the cashier oe. the latter was ordered to close it up and turn over the cash to the assignee. But the cashier refused. He said the White Lake branch did not owe the Mitchell bank a cent, but that, on the contrary, the bank at Mitchell owed his bank $11,000. He said he could not see why the money of his depositors should be taken to pay the debts of the Mitchell concern. The assignee of the Mitchell bank went over to White Lake, aud posted a notice on the bank that it was closed. But the cashier, aided by depositors, tore down the notice. The cashier then took one window and his assistant an other, and they began to pay off the depositors. The assignee jumped over the counter and ordered a halt, but, instead of halting, the ctowd took the assignee and fired him out of the build ing into the street. The cashier then paid off the depositors in full, and put the key of the bank in his pocket. That ts the kind of a bink cashier to have around. Perhaps the vigorous action of the depositors may have had something to do with this mode of set tling up. It is an example worth fol- 1 owing. Seventeen Year Locusts- II. H. Ragan, of Salem, recently received by mail from J. S. Ragan, Indiana, one.of the "17 year locusts," now paying their visits to that afflicted country, after an abscence of 17 years. The Statesman says: He is of small size, about twice as large as a horse-fly. On each wing there is a natural letter W, which supersticious people think is omnious of and means "war." He sleeps in his shell for seventeen long years, then comes forth to make up for the time which he has lost He tackles all kinds of growing trees, and inserts his stings into the bark, and deposits her 02:2. The sting thns inflicted is poisonous, and when frequently in flicted in the same altitude around a tree is death to the tree. Whole or chards and forests are thus destroyed They always come in big audiences, there being billions of them now in Indiana, They keep np an awful hum ming noise, and are good flyers. WHAT WU LACK. A Letter From a Member of the Iowa Press Excursionists. May I be allowed to say a word through your extenssivtly read paper to the farmers of your great state! Through the courtesy of-the railroad companies I have been per mitted to ride through its entire length from north to south. I have looked over your beautiful valleys from a practical farmer's stand point. Over fifty years of my life have been spent on the farm . Born and raised on a farm, among the rocks and the hula of New Hampshier, and then for the last thirty years on one iu Iowa, I claim that nn!ess I have been a very dull student I should know something of farming. Unless I am greatly mistaken the farmers of your tr te are having something of , the same experience that was bo bitter to thous ands of our Iowa farmers in not very recent years. The great and fascinating idea with many was. wheat raising. Coming mostly from the New England states, where the grain crops were always small, the ease with which extended acres could be cropped with grain carried most of the pioneer farmers off their feet, and they continued in j the grain raising-busiuess until many lost their farms. Some eight or ten years ago we, began to ag itate the stock and dairy idea among our wheat growing farmers and those who had enough left from the wheat failures to get a few good cows, and go into dairy farming are now out debt aud are getting ahead in the world. The cow and tha tame grass have saved thousands of Iowa farmers from utter bank ruptcy. It has struck me while riding over j our tine valleys so admirably adapted to clover and the grasses, that if the Iowa far mer, "000 miles nearer market, can not raise wheat only at a loss that the Oregon farmer, in this grand climate so wonderfully favora ble to the manufacture of cheese and butter might possibly be making a mistake in con tinuing to hld on to the old time habit of iirain raising. .We have to-day iu Iowa over 500 creameries where butter is made from the cream gathered by teams from the farmers for a radius of fifteen miles and upwards around them .... Aside from thebe there are Urge numbers of cheese factories that make cheese and butter. Then again the number of private farm dairies is legion, swelling the dairy product of our state to an amazing amount. The product is always cash, and as a rale very remunerative and sure. Another thing in favor of dairy farming is the fact that the dairy" ftrm always increases in fertility while 1 grain raising is always depleting, j Your fountain , strfamsaud spring?, your cool moist climate, and your iuxnriant growth of clovers, all tend to make these valleys of Oregon the very paradise of the dairyman Your distance from the great markets of the world gives a tremendous emphasis to the lea of putting as much value I j a pound of product as possible. It costs bnt very little more to send a pound of cheese or butter to Liverpool than it does a pound of wheat. The fanner must always remember that he must pay the freight from the farm to the market, be that market where it may. With the dairy will come the impoved hog and the steer, and with these conies more and richer gras?, r.nd this means more stock, and moie stock means independence, and with this comes schooling, refinement and good society. I do not say yon do not now Lave refine ment and good society in Oregon, but I am writing for my fellow fanners. I have passed through all the privations of pioneer life Taking a pre-emption in Iuwa thirty years ago made a small begining, for seventeen years I lived in my little fourtsen-footprt tmptionlogr cabin, and it was tho cow and the milk pail that lifted me Out of it. .If I road rightly what I have seen in you. state, there are thousands of farmers who can see no way to pay the debts hanging over them and send their children to school, with grain at present prices. 1 sympathize wiih these har-Jy men, aud I frankly sayj I can see but little hope for them unless they follow the steps of their Iowa brothers and turn from grain to dairy and stock. This is safe and sure. . It may be slow at first, but in the end there will be no disappointment. Tho natural growth of your towns and the increase of manufacturing industries which would seem for your abundant water p war and inexhaustible stores of fuel inevitable, will give a ready market near at home for the dairy products of your farms. - Pordon me if I have been too forward in the expres sion of my views but so intensely am I enlis ted on the side of the best good of the farm and the farmers families I could not well re sist the desire to give the farmers of these gr.-.nd valleys the benefit of the experience we of Iowa have gone through. As a member of the press excursionists I tender you my sincere thanks for the cordia good will and welcome yon have shown us, Our visit among your pnople will be the event of our lives to many of us. j L.. s. Coffin. Fort Dodge, JWa. ; The Idaho post master who stole $20,000 and then fled into Canada, ii the living exemplification of hard "cheek." He has been placed under arrest, and claims that the offense is not extraditable; but io show the gov ernment that he is not mean, he offers to retund 8,000. LTncle Sam is in need of money but dsclines the offer, and intimates, that money is nothing compared to Mr. Hibbs' scalp. Pro ceedings to extradite this government thief, will be commenced immediately. If he" is convicted, and there is no denial of the iheft, he will doubtless pass the remainder of his life in the government employ, where there will be no chance for his making any fur ther crooked returns.
