school and at the name tirme managed

we paid the penalty for having
overworked by being confined to our

We have attempted to do the same

lighten our labor, and so have
decided to retire from Ihepaperun-

Hold the plant but only temporarily
lesse-l it- We came to Dover a
little over three years ago and found
the plant nothing more than a pile of
junk but by hard and constant labor
we have built up the paper and
have also succeeded in purchasing
first class material until today we
have a better newspaper plant than
the ordinary small towns can boast
of- We have been treated kindly
by the people and some of the bus-
iness ruen have realized the fact
that no town can afford to 1 e
wit lull t a paper and have given
us a loyal support while surne of
course, have hung back and reaped
the. benefits from the other ffllows
advertising- The paper should have
better support than it has had and
we hope y u will give Mr J.'S.
Martin who is not a stranger to the
peoplei even U'ttc-r support than the
paper b"s ver had. He will give
yofl a g- -i paper and you cannot
afford t i send out of town for work
that can i.e done at home. As wc
said beftire we have onlv leased the
paper and ou>- interests are still in
Dover and all our earthly goods is
here which consists of the News
plant and of course we are int< rested
in the town and the paper as much
as ever- All business of the office

The board of county coin- |
missioners met on Monday of last;
week and started their career in a 1
very reckless manner. We refer to'
the county printing. Of course it ,
was expected there would lie a
change but it will be thecpinion t.f
the tax payers that even a republr
can lioard should not >\ward the
county printing al a price that is
far in excess of what the work could
and would be furnished for. The
Star of Kingfisher was awarded the
printing, so the papers say at 00
cents per square for the legal work
and regular price for the other wo;k
Now be it understood we do not
blame the Star or any other paper
for getting the work and taking all
they could possibly get for it. Hut
tlu-n the commissioners are elected
to look after the interest of the people
who pay taxes and they expcct this
to be done. The adjoining counties
do not pay (50 cents per square and
our commissioners can not be excus
ed for letting the contract at this
price. The Xews man finding that
he could not be present when the |
board met wrote County Clerk

would come up we did nothing more

I A recent report has it that a Waih-
j lngton preacher has advertised a sale
j of Harriet Lane Johnston's stock of
whisky. Mrs. Johnston, as the beauti-
ful Harriet Lane, was the mistress of
the White House in the administration
of President Buchanan, whose niece
she was. The president's private stock
of liquors was bequeathed to her. Ap-
parently It was never decreased very
luurh in her lifetime. The stock now
offered for sale comprises liquors that
were in the White Ilouae cellars la
Buchanan's day.

Oik-of th 1 troubles that is afflicting
the country just now is the fact that
nil sorts of stocks are tumbling
down in price, even when there is
every reason to believe tl.nt thry
arc sound and have a good earning
power- It is said that a good many
Wall street gamblers have made
fortunes by gelling stocks that, they
did not possess. They were selling
short, as the term is.
■Tim object was to frighten tie
real holders of the stock and indure
them to tluow their stocks on the
market at a reduced price. In that
case of course the short seller eould
pick ui) tlie stock that had been
thrown on the market and make
good his contracts to deliver the
stock at certain price. But in
most of these cases I he short seller
never did own ai.y stock. lie was
selling something that he did not
own but was belling that he could
get. Now if a Kansas farmer
should sell a hundred head of steers
that he did not own he would b«
very liable to get a term in the
penitentiary and he would deserve
it; but why should be be landed
in the penitentiary fur selling live -
stock that he does not own any more
than the Wall street gambler who
sells railroad and other stocks that
he doea not own? The farmers
who would sell a hundred head of
eteers that he does not own harms
the one man who supposes that he
is buying property when he is not;
the Wall street gambler who sells
stocks that he does not own injures
the entire country, helps to destroy
public confidence and bring on a
financial panic. If the ras-cally
farmur who sells the steers to which
he has no title should go to the
penitentiary, a# he shouk^ there is
more reason for putting the Wall
street short seller in a suit of stripes.
