There are hundreds'of girls spending hours aud hours of time and many dollars on their music lessons who will never be able to play anything of a higher grade than the "maidens dream;" hundreds of girls taking painting lessons and all the results the world will ever see will be half a dozen placques and prehaps a coal shovel or a rolling pin decorated with brilliant scarlet roses and glaring white daisies. How much hotter it would be if the girls would spend the same amount of time in gaining a practical business education that would be a benefit to them in all the changing fortunes of life whether rich or poor; whether living at ease in a luxurious home or strugling among the thousands of bread winners that crowd the daily walks of life. If a woman who expets to earn her living feels the need of a business education, is there not also need for persons who have wealth to learn how to take care of it? Whether a woman has the control of money, whether it be wages she earns for herself, inherited wealth or the funds for house keeping expenses en prompted its manufacture.

HOW SENATOR INGALLS GOT HIS SEAT. From the Non Conformist. Representative Hossack, of Crawford county said: Ingalls personally offered me one thousand dollars providing I would vote for him $500 down and $500 to be paid on March 1879. Jim Merritt and John Wilson paid me the $500. See page 1107, Mouse Journal, GYPSUM VALLEY.

Mr. Editor, perhapse a few items from this part of the county would be of. interest to some of your readers. A beautiful rain last Sunday and the grangers are all smiling. The hum of the thresher isoccassionly heard, in our land.

Fall wheat is in good condition. The Stuco mill, after being closed down for about three weeks, resumed operation again last Thursday. The Nimrods are taking advantage of the fine weather, and are slaughtering all kinds of wild'game. Mrs. J.

Meager went to Chapman, Saturday, to visit her brother, P. Dowling. Mr. and Mrs. Beard, went to Geary county Saturday, to visit their eon Charlie.

Mrs. Win. Walker, who had her arm broken about three weeks ago is able to be out again. Some of our young folks attended the A. O.

H. ball in Solomon, last Friday night. Valley Alliance held an open meeting Tuesday night, the 14th. Brother's Ostenburg, Pattee and McAuliff wore present and delivered addressee. Mount Tabor held on open meeting Thursday night, the 16th, and were addressed by Messrs.

Pattee and McAuliff, large and enthusiastic crowds greeted the- speakers at both places. Several were present at the later place who were not members of the alliance, but we think when they went to their homes after the speaking closed, they were in sympathy with the Peoples' party, if they were not before, and will show their sympathy at the poll the fourth of November. We don't think there will be a dozen old party votes polled in Solomon township the 4th, of November. We are all wide awake down here and are going to vote the Peoples ticket straight through, and our men are going to get there Eli. Wild geese are seen every day imigrat-ing to the South, as if heralding the approach of the melancholly days.

the union troops with whom I chanced to come in contact as prisoners. If the editor of the Daylight or Mr. Stilson will visit my home in North Carolina, I will show them some treasured trophies won through my cruelty and barbarity to prisoners. Among them, for example, is a sword-belt and a note which accompanied it, saying: My Dear Friend, Lt. Polk: Please accept this belt as a slight token of my greatful appreciation of your brotherly kindness to roe.

Send it to your children and tell them how you got it. For a quarter of a century that belt and a photograph of Lieutenant Colonel Murray, of the 5th New York heavy artillery (than -whom no braver man ever fought or fell) have occupied a conspicuous place in my humble home. The editor of the Daylight and Mr. Stilson may be wealthy men, but they haven't money enough to buy that old belt, nor bitterness enough to lesson its value as a legacy to my children. Hannibal, while yet a tender youth, was placed on his kneea by his father and made to swear eternal enmity against the Romans.

Cato thrilled and fired the heart of the Roman Senate with the repeated cry: "Carthage must be destroyed." Shall Americans emulate or cherish such a spirit? The great masses of the people, North and South, are comming to an understanding of the situation. It is not the war of the rebellion of twenty-five years ago, but the war of the classes against the masses of to-day, that is engaging their earnest and patriotic consideration. And they will not be deceived or. diverted by the mad ravings of sectional agitators. Hastily and fraternally yours, L.

Jj. Polk, ADDIS0N.SEMAN&C0. Representative W. S. Wait of Lincoln -THE OLD- county testifies under oath: "I was offered $500 to vote for Ingalls by Representative Anderson of Ellsworth county." See House Journal, 1879.

(Wait voted for Horton. Anderson voted for Ingalls. See page 199 House Journal, 1879.) Lumber 11 erchants training in keeping accounts, making out bills and receiving checks, etc. The simple matter of keeping an account of every penny ipent for one's personal expenses has led many a thoughtless woman to practice habits of econy because she obtained an understanding of how the money went. How many women who found their sphere of usefulness as home makers and educators of their children wide enough for their powers, have been deprived of the companionship of their husbands by death and have had to face the worst and become managers and often bread winners for the helpless lit- tie ones! How many daughters who knew naught of care or responsibility have been thrown from their enviable position by the misfortunes of their fathers? When a girl starts out to earn her own living, from force of circumstances, even if she be well educated and knows how to do something for which the world will pay, she is of ten hampered by knowing nothing of business methods or business management.

A man although he be teacher, artist, author, or engaged in any other occupation that to an extent removes him from the ordinary affairs of from his boyhood on, always mingles more or less with tne business world and hears among men business transactions discussed and thus absorb a vast amount of information relating to commercial affairs, while it is well known that women are often painfully ignorant concerning the simplest business transactions. Not long since a highly educated lady went to an attorney's office in New York City to join' her husband in canveying a piece of property, and when asked by the Notary to sign her name to the deed, sat down and in a flowing graceful hand wrote, "Mrs. of "Laura B. Smith," as it appeared in the body of the document. The peculiar style of the signature was unnoticed at the moment and the Notary was obliged to send for her again the next day in order that tne instrument might be signed in the proper manner.

I returned from a weeks visit in the eastern part of the county last Saturday aud I tell you Mr. Editor, you might as well look for a needle in a hay stack as to hunt a farmer that does not belong to the People's Party.

From the time that the People's Party conferred upon me the high honor of making me their nominee for governor, I have been very busy, both night and day, trying in my humble way to assist the people in their struggle with the old ring of politicans. It seems that the opposition, instead of discussing the living issues now agitating the minds of the people, have resorted to a malicious attempt to prejudice the people by an attack upon me through the columns of the Republican press. They have spread broadcast certain statements in regard to my family affairs, not even content to let my dead father rest in peace. There were in all seven children left by my father when ho departed this life. He made his home ith me during' the last years of his life, and he left a very small estate.

This estate was settled to the entire satisfaction of all the children with the exception of a half sister, who commenced a civil action in the District Court of Jefferson county. The pretended record of evidence published is her fctition, drawn by her lawyer, but my answer was not published. After a trial the jury did render a verdict in her favor for a small amount which I paid. I regard to the last sickness of my father. He died with the malarial fever after an illness of about four weeks.

Dr. Balsley attended him in his sickness and charged 4 00 per visit, as we lived six miles in the country. Does it look reasonable that the doctor would charge only 5.50 for five visits and then give a receipt for $20? My wife and myself nursed my father in his last sickness, and Mrs. Lincicum did not nurse or care for him. Her husband, Wesley Lincicum, at the time of my father's death was living with her on my place.

I have given this Lincicum family all the assistance in my power, and Mr. Editor, will not surely forget New Cambria on the 21st, your Honorable candidate for congress, John Davis, will be there and crowds of stalwart voters with their wives and daughters will also be present to hear one more speech 1879.

I am glad to see that our girls are beginning to realize the importance and value of a business education. Our business colleges for the last few years have noted a steady increasing ratio of students who are the daughters of wealthy parents and who take a thorough course of business training, sometimes with the intention of taking positions as book-keepers or clerks, and also in order that they may know how to manage their property for themselves and not be obliged to go to their attorneys or friends for the trivial details which no man would think of asking another to do for him. Miss Jennie Wehle, of New York City, who is the daughter of a prominent and wealthy lawyer, is earning her own living as a stenographer, and she is only one of many women who have found more pleasure, more satisfaction in an active business life than the jay round proud tobe called farmers wives know exactly how to cook them.
