WrtHI.I'Al'KB OF DEEB LODGE COUNTY. SATl'KDAY.DKt'F.MHKR 3. IK).'. DtATHOF JAY GOULD .lay^lnuld wan one of the remark^^able men of the century. He was a^type uni1 0IK' sense, the forerunner^of a class of millionaires peculiar to^Vnited States. 11 is was distinctively^n nonius for money-making. This was^his life work and he addressed himself^to it with the marvelous insight, the^almost supernal uraI penctrat ion, tho^masterly skill nnd judgment of the per-^feet artist. As Napoieon waged war. .lay^Could waged llnatice. He was actuated^solely Iiy the spirit nf conquest. He^planned great campaigns and he seldom^tailed to carry them to a successful^issue. Fertile in resources and strate^^gical mauoeuvors, daring in concep^^tion, vigorous and decisive in action^.lay tiould fought his way through the^world, sometimes forcing his enemies^to an unconditional surrender without^striking a blow, crushing them when^^ever they arrayed themselves in active^opposition. Thostory of Jay (build's life is^pretty well known. His boyhood^career has been told over and over^ngain How in IH.'*1 be was born at^St rait mi's 1'alls, X. V., the son of a^farmer and country storekeejier; bow^lie dilTered from tho common run of^farmer.-.' boys in no respect save that^lie was more than ordinarily utiula as^mid reticent: how be invented bis^famous mouse trap: bow at 17 bo lie-^came a grocer's clerk and made bis^first deal in real estate; how at 111 be^ligured as a civil engineer, surveying^mid mapping the count y of Delaware in^his native state: how be next went into^the tannery business at 1'hiladclphia^and soon became sole proprietor of the^concern: how in Is.V.i, being only :i:i^years old, he began to speculate in^A\'all street in railroad stock, turning^himself into a sort of a curb-stone^broker: all this is familiar history.^1'ew men have bad the biography of^their early days published bo repeat^^edly or so widely. There seems to lie^a universal fascination ill the study of^a millionaire's youth. Whentiould made his modest debut^in Wall street bis means were limited,^nnd bis ipiartcrs in New York most^unpretentious. From the very llrst.^however, he had tho reputation of^being a successful man: and this was^of itself an amount of capital not^easily estimated. He never smoked,^drank, nor gambled, and was always^on the alert for business. During the^war he profited largely by the sale of^gold mid of stocks.and took advantage^of eveiy defeat or succss of the union^army, l.ong before the close of the^struggle be was said to be a million^^aire. ^If the truth of this conjecture^there seems ample evidence, for soon^lifter he went into the F.rie railroad^comnanv. that corporation owed him^8H.UiU.Usi. Alter making a great deal^nf mom v through the skillful bund^^ling of I'rie stock, bis next successful^venture was in the pun base of '..'.Yiiui^shares of Cleveland and I'ittsburg,^when he improved the road, doubled^the 111:11 ket \alue of (be stock, and^leased the property, netting about a^Millfc n and a half profit. In|s7a (loiild wcut into the I'nion^1'aeilic, buying a vast number of^shares at ill, for wlrch he bits since^realized'.'.1. The same gigantic pro^port ions and success have characterised^all bis later venturcsalso. II is purchioe^of an Mormons amount of Wabash,^lit less than ^', the consolidation of the^road, the : ise 111 the stock, and the buy^^ing of an incredible amount of Kansas^and Texas, at a figure which has^lloub i d 1111 into a profit sixfold greater^than tbr price lie paid lias netted him^many additional millions. All through^IsTtl. and up to the close of IsTS, ho^was purcliasini; I nge lines of the low-^price stocks which, as if by magic. lie-^gan to rise 111 value the moment he^touched them. His operations in rail^^roads and telegraph lines during the^last ten or a dozen years are too cele^^brated to need re|H^t itioll. .laytiotihl's wealth was roughly esti^^mated at glUi.iHKl.uni by some it was ji'a1 at a quarter of a million more. railingit BtOOJJOOJJOa, Mi. tiould^was the second richest man in^the world, the first place beng^held bf William Waldorf Astor. whose^wealth is commonly quoted at i*I.Vi.-^BOffjDim Itut the present generation of^Astors inherited about all their money,^while tiould started out in life with^hardly a dollar, Tho vastness of^tiould's laches may lie lictter appre^^ciate'! by contrast.

Judge by results, he was^the greatest financier the world has^produced. His influence was power^^ful and far-reaching. As a litigant^his marked success often led to the^suspicion that his Influence in tho^courts was greater than should le^possessed by any man not absolutely^on the bench. As a sharp and success^^ful general, ho doubtless considered^that all was fair in war and stopped at^nothing to accomplish his purposes.^Xot so dangerous as he could have^been, (ionhi was feared and in many^quarters cordially hated. His genius^was universally acknowledged, but bis^character compelled no admiration.^He was one of the great men that the^world can best afford to spcre. Thellutte Hoard of Trade should^rise from the dead long enough to re^^mark that w bile the newspapers and^politicians of the state are apportion^^ing the various state institutions, the^school of mines would look mighty^well 011 one of Iluttc's hills. Two^cities thus far have declared their^readiness to accept this institution,^and while llutte manifestly has unsur^^passed qiialillcatious for tho location^of the school, it is not to bo exju'eted^that it can be had without tho asking. SILViRBOW'S SCHOOL BONDS Thevoters of school district Xo 1,^Silver How county, will to-day de^^termine the question whether the dis^^trict shall lie bonded for HMUI.UK) for^school purpose.! or not. This school^district comprises nearly the entire^populous portions id' the county, the^voters of llutte, Walkerville, Ccntcr-^Ville, Fast Hutte, Parrot, Meaderville,^South Hutte, Centennial precinct, Tra,-^vnuaaud Ktitchcrtow 11, being entitled^to vote on the question. The |H-opleof^Silver How county have never yet re^^fused to grant any sum that has been^asked for its schools, and it is not^likely that the project will be defeated^to-day. Still, MM opposition has Ix-en^expressed the opposition directing it^^self not against bonding for whatever^may be needed for school purposes,^but against bonding for an amount^much in excess of the present needs.^There is no doubt that the fast increas^^ing school population of Hutte and^vicinity demands greater facilities^for the school children, and^from no source has there arisen^a breath of opposition agaimt^granting everything necessary to ren^^der the schools of llutte as comfort^^able uud commodious as those of any^city. The opposition that has bten^expressed objects to bonding for l*|UI,-^um when only Ns# is at present^needed. The opposition argues that^the 873.1 mo derived from the sale of^the central school property should he^Millie lent for tho present board^to expend without the addi^^tional tMUI.um utkud. The trus^^tees admit that only Jj.2d.0rl is now-^required, but they state that tfcjt jiecu-^liar law in the matter will not MMnfll^the district to bond again, and they^argue that therefore the district should^bond for a sum large enough to meet^contingencies for years in the future. Itdoes not up|iear at present that^the opposition has develo|^ed enough^strength to make a successful ti^ht^against the proposition, if, in fact, any^contest at the polls is contemplated.^It is safe to say tint if the bonding^scheme were seriously wrong, the con^^servative sense of the property owners^of the district would long before this^have united into an opposition that^would swamp the plan. Itis to be desired that there be as^full an expression as possible by the^voters id' the district on the bonding^proposition. I iifortiiuately. the polls,^placed as they are in the High school^building in Fast llroadway. are located^at too remote a point from the trav^^eled thoroughfares to inaUe them^easily accessible. Had the trustees^seen lit to establish the polling place^at the court house, the city ball or^some other central point, there would^PB I much fuller expression of views^by the voters. It is also to lie re^^gretted that there is only one polling^place for a voting popuhltiong which^includes nearly all the county. Hut in^spite 1 f tho inconvenience of reaching^the polls, the voters of the district^should make it their duty to turn out^and express themselves for or against^a proposition which is of great im^^portance to every taxpayer. Ifthe bonding proposition passes to^^day the people of the district may con.^gratulate themselves that, while the^sum of money to l^e ^oted Is a large^one, the board of school trustees is^fortunately composed of nun who are^generally recognized as honest citizens^and who have the reputation of being^goed business managers. If the pro^^position dees not pass, the M6,000^needed will bo raised by a special^school tax. the desired improvements^111 school facilities will Im^ obtained^just the same, and apparently it wid^nut matter much to anyone. OUf FOR WALKtRV LLb^Xot satisfied with the taste of poli^^tic* which it bad 111 the recent cam^^paign, the people's party of Mlver How^county is out to capture Walkerville.^The party's leaders declare there^will be no disbanding of forces,^and they announce that Walkerville^will be captured firs; and then they^will get in line for Matte's spring elec^^tion. A year ago in Walkerville the^populists first entered the tie'.d of poli^^tics, combining with the democrats.^The fusion ticket was beaten, however,^William i:. Hall, the republican candi^^date, hcing elected mayor. Thisyear, however, the jioopte's^party believes it can win alone.^Charles W. llaiiscoin w ill probably le^the party's nominee for mayor, al^^though this is not yet m tiled. I In- partyis encouraged to believe it can^carry the city from the vote of the^various parties in that city at the re^^cent election. The vote of the three^precincts of Walkerville on governor^was: Kennedy, people's party, 272;^Hukards, rep., 244; Collins, dem.,^l^i. The people's party had a larger^vote in Walkerville than either of the Iother parties, but not so large as the jtwo combined. The party's leaders^declare that they can cast as large a ivote again, and even in cose of a fu-^sion between republicans and demo- Icrats, believe they can make the elec^^tion decidedly interesting. Hepiiblicansin Walkerville are man^^ifestly wary of accepting the challenge^of the populists, but from present ap-^jK'arar.ces they will be forced into^making a hot campaign or surrender^unconditionally. BALLOTBLUNDERS. Ithas been suggested that the form^nf ballot in use 111 Montano might be^improved by arranging the candidates^of each party in groups so that an elec^^tor w ho desires to vote his party ticket^straight might l^c able to do by mark^^ing a cross in a designated place at^the top of the group, instead of going^through the whole ballot and picking^out bis party's candidates as he finds^thorn hero and there--as at present he^is compelled to do. The suggestion is^worthy of attention, but it would ap-^poar from the result in Ohio that even^this plan is not an absolute preventive^of mistakes. In(ihio to vote a struight democratic^ticket under this plan, formerly it was^necessary only to place a cross opposite^the name ^Democratic Ticket^ at the^head of the list of candidates. This^year, ow ing to the tendency of voters^to drop down one line in their marking^and designate the name of the llrst^candidate, thus erroneously voting only^for him, the law was amended to direct^that the cross for straight tickets must^bo placed in circles printed for that^purpose at the tops of the ballots. It^was feared from the llrst that many^would neglect to comply with the new-^regulation, and would place their^marks at the side of ticket at tho top,^thinking to vote it straight. Moth re^^publicans nnd democrats made that^Very mistake, but the democrats, it ap^^pears, got the worst of it The demo^^crat w hose nanio api^eared at the top^of the democratic group of presidential^electors is elected by more than 2,000^majority over the republican who^beaded the republican group. He was^the only democrat elected, hut it is^believed that all twenty-four would^have been victorous were it not for tho^obvious error mentioned. InMassachusetts, on the other hand,^tho republicans claim that Coventor^RtaMM was elected through the mis-^tikes of republican voters. One thing^seems certain, no matter in what form^the ballot may In-, mistakes will lie^made, some through ignorance, hut^more, perhaps, through carcleesnass.^The object to be attained should lie the^utmost simplicity consistent with ab^^solute secrecy. Despite the Ohio inci^^dent, the plan of grouping the candi^^dates of each party by themselves^meets with the most general approval. REMARKS BY THE 8OCKLES8.^The l opull.l. of Kansas Likely to Tola^Will, tbe Ilemocrsts. fromthe Washington Post. Thepeoplo'a party will have about tho^same representation in tho next congress^that they had In this. Tho exact num^^ber is not, however, Belt led. a* there are^two or throe districta in doubt.^ Thua^spoke Jerry Simpson, of Medicine Lodge,^K ill*., who is the llrst of the populist^members of congress to return to the city^after the arduous duties of the recent^campaign. Mr. Simpson is heartily In^favor of an extra aeaaion of congress.^^If,^ aaid he, ^the present tariff ia a rob^^bery, oa ia alleged, why not revise it a*^soon a* pnsaibls^ Personally, I am in^favor of a material reduction in the tariff^duties that are now in force. Mr..Simpson intimated that the repub^^licans might capture the legislature of his^slate. ^It all depends.^ aaid he, ^on tho^decision of an election tie in Coffeo^county. There is a tic there between the^people's party candidate and tho republi^^can, which will bo decided by lot. If tho^republicans got tho district it will give^1I10111 control of the house of ronrosenta-^tivusovor tbe combined strength of tho^democrats and the third party people. Wo^have a majority in tho senate of six, but^if tho republicans secure control of tho^lower house they will not hesitate to throw^out enough men liters of tho third party to^give them a majority on joint ballot. Tho^people's party could of course retaliate by^unseating republican senators, but for^every senator that wo unseated the repub^^licans would unseat live members of tho^lower house, und wo would gain nothing^in the end. Kvonif tho republicans gain the legis^^lature it is not at all certain that Mr. Per^^kins will he returned,^ continued Mr.^Simpson. ^He was rendered unpopular^by reason of the circumstances surround^^ing his appointment by the governor, nnd^it looked to the people of the state as if^Coventor Humphrey had made a political ibargain. So far us Mr.l-'iinston is concerned |an effort w ill l^- made to unseat him, as it^is charged that there w as considerable 'irregularity in his vote, and as his majority^is hut 7! 1 it can be easily seen how ho may 'ho affected by a contest. A*far a* he himself was concerned Mr.^Simpson said that he had not yet decided^whether lie would or would not be a can^^didate for United States senator. Ho de^^nied emphatically that ho had ever said to^any one, as bad Ixten rc|H^rted, that he de^^clared that tho people's party had fulfilled^its mission und ought now to disband.^The rupture between tho people's parly^nnd the republicans is so hitter that Mr.^Simpson says ho docs not roc how tho^members of that party enn vote with the^republican* oil any matter, und for that^reason lie expects to seo them vote with^the democrats on the question of tho or-^gatiization of the ncxr house.

Successcomes early in life to some peo^^ple and lale to others. Some, like Hyron,^'wake to llud themselves famous, while^others are crowned with laurel* only after^long years and many efforts, 'fins last is^the case of Ferdinand Allard. the inventor^of hardened copie r. Allard can render^copper so hard that it can be ground to an^edge, nnd not only can it lie used to re^^place steel, lint its substitution is often an^improvement. The reality and genuine^^ness of the invention has been nltesled by^such a well known scientist as the Abbe^Professor I.illniume. nt l. ivul university,^Quebec, and Sergeant Major If chard, of^the Quebec Kitle IBM wha IIred three^times with a Snider rille at a sheet 1%^inches thick. In every case the bullet*^am shattered.

Theinventor himself. Ferdinand Allard,^i* atypical l'i cnch-l anadian honest, in^^dustrious ajnl good tempered. He was^horn at Cap Same. QucIm-c. 7tl years ago.^Allartl early showed a tinuked preference^for hlnckemithlug. nnd when hew a* about^ilii he went to New York to learn his trade^more thoroughly. 'lor lii\cnrs.^ Allard aaid, in s|m-akiug^of Ids itiieiit'on. ^I lived in N 'w York^working at my trade. Well, otic day w bile^we were eating dinner B comrade licg.iti^reading the newspn|sT to SSS for I can^^not lead.^ he added diffidently, ^and there^was one item that interested nie very^much. It sa.d that Ihe Kgyptinns had^known of n tnetlusl of hardening copper,^but that this was now one of the lost urir,^nnd that a fortune awuitid the man who^should rediscover it. Thatnmdc a great impression on me.^I thought ami thought about it.and all uiv^^.pare moment* I expeil'iu nteil. When I^came bin k tolVuebec I still experimented.^At hist 1 resold d to try just once more^nnd then gi\o up forever, for 1 had tri.sl^all ^orls as ^'xpci iinenls for :^l year* w iih-^0111 success. This time I succeeded.^Whe i 1 wa* convinced that 1 had really^made a genuine di-eovery 1 went MS the^Abbe I-allatume and told him. and he ad-^visisl me w hat to do. Allibis wa^ of course in Krench, for Al-^hird docs not sts nk Kughsli. though I.^understands it fairly well. As for himself^uud his surroundings, he is a man of N yearsof age, and has n family of 12 chil^^dren^nine girls and three boys^all living^and grown up. and as bale and hearty a*^himself nnd but wife, who Is about bis own^age. Ilia expression is honest, good tem^^pered and pleasant, and his black eyes^beam with intelligence. He is n brand-^shouldered, rather thickset msn, 6 feet^inches in height and weighing about^IUj pound*. He ia proud that be has never^bad a day'* illneas in his life. Forsame years past Allard has lived^at Point Levis, which lies on tbe oppoa tv^side of the St. Lawrence to Quebec. Here^in hi* little blacksmith shop, only 17 by L'4^feet in size, he made his discovery. Tho^^bop and cottage were both built by him^^self and hi* son*, and for many years Al^^lard, hia wife, four unmarried daughters^and one son lived here content and happy^in their humble sphere of life, the father^earning n scanty living, but always hope^^ful of success in his lifelong am^^bition. He uses a great deal of^charcoal, and the length of^time required depends upon tbe thickness^of the sheet or the site of tbe article to bo^hardened; a piece of copper 8 foot long by^4 w ido require* about 'M hours, and the^process has the further advantage of be^^ing simple and inexpensive. Hosideaits many other uses, hardened^copper will doubtless be of groat service^in the manufacture of the commutator*^and brushes of dynamos. So soon aa bo^realizes from hia discovery Allard saya it^is his intention to place tho money in the^hands of tho Itoman Catholic clergy, who^will pay him the interest on it. CURRENTHUMOR.
