Don't despise systems of thought
that other men have elaborated be-

Men get into grooves OF working
and thinking so that they become al

when habit is formed, for one to yield
more and more to its influence. 1t is
specially true of a bad habit.
Times of general calamity and
confusion have ever been productive of
the greatest minds. The purest ore is
produced from the hottest furnace, and
the brightest thunderbolt is elected
from the darkest storll.-Colton.
Perfect freedom is perfect knowl-

law, without obedience to law. Evil
habit takes away freedom. Conditions
surround us that make freedom of the

tons and freedom is no longer ours

a LOVE TRAGEDY.

Mary Ella Ray StrangIed by Her Lever
While Out Buggy Riding i'm Veraon
County, Mo.
NEVADA, Mo, Nov. 30-Word was re-
ceved in this city yesterday morning o:
the finding of the dead body of Miss Mary
Ella Ray on the roadside a short distance
from her home. about eight miles south of
the city, and OF the suicide of Godfrey
Korbe, the young man suspected of the
crime.
The body of the girl was discovered in q
small ravine one mile south of the house.
A small stream passes through this ravine.
About sixty feet from where the body OF
the gjrl lay was found a mans hat white
collar and black glove. A few feet from
the spot tracks were found at the bank of
the stream, and limb was found broken
from a small tree that was upon the bank.
Near the body OF the girl was found two
biaded knife. There was no blood on the
knife.
INQUIRY was made as to the whereabouts
- S5rbe and it was said he was under
ar7sst - the house. Ex-Sherif Hill and
DeFsty Sberiff Diehr had been to the house
S<S joined those who stood guard over
korbe. But before the dead body of the
girl had arrived, Korbs was a corpse. He
had taken his own life; and from the symp-
toms it was thought that he had swallowed
poison and thus sealed forever his own
lips, from which the sequel TO this terrible
tragedy would never toe told.
Coroner Atkinson made close exami-
ION Of the body Of the girl and found
no evidence of foul action whatever.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury was
that Miss Mary Ella Ray came to her
death at the hands of George Godfrey
korbe by .trangulation on the night of
November IS. IL the case of George God
frey korbe the verdict of the jury was
that he came to his death b. his own
hands.
II was learned from the family that
George Godfrey korbs and Mary Ellen
Ray left the house Wednesday in a buggy
for Nevada, intending to return home be-
fore dark. There was no suspicion that
any trouble would occur. as the youn :
man and girl were apparently the be,; "a
friends.

A Meeting of Dissatisfied Veterans Formu-
late Programme-A Denial.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. ga meet.
ing was held tonight at the Hendricks
Clut rooms by some three score Democrat
ic G. A. r. veterans, at which an organ.
ization was perfected. known as the DEM
Dcratic Soldiers and Sailors Veteran As.
ISOLATION of Indiana. The organization is
the result of the revolt against the G. A. r.
The object of the new association is set
forth in the following preamble to their
constitution and bylaws:
THE purpose of this association shall
be TO inculcate the true principles of
patriotism and love of country and to fos.
ter end maintain true Democratic princi-
Piles in the administration of the Govern
ment, both State and National, and secure
a pure, simple and efficient administration
Of the same and to resist with all our
might any and every encroachment upon
the constitutional rights and liberties Of
the people; to preserve and strengthen
those kind and fraternal feelings
which should bind together those who as
soldiers, sailors and marines, united to
suppress the rebellion and to perpetuate
the memory and history of the dead: to
aid in every possible way all persons who
have been honorably discharged from the
military and naval service of the United
States, and to secure for them preferment
and promotion in the civil service"
After the adoption of the constitution
the following officers were elected: Pres
ident, r. A. Taylor; secretary. W. c.
Harrington; treasurer, L. c. Daniels: vice.
president, Samuel c. Green. Under tho
constitution the entire management of the
association is placed in the hands of an
executive board. George w. Keontz was
elected chairman and was given power to
appoint the other members of the board,
which he will do by naming one man from
each Congressional district and two from
the State ct large.
Colonel j. n. Walker, assistant Adju-
tant-General of the G. A. r, department
of Indiana, and the executive officer of the
order of the State, stated that no applica-
ton for withdrawal of membership from
the g. A. r. had been made to him, and
that he was the officer to whom such ap-
plications had to come. So far from the IN
diana department decreasing its member
ship, the applications for permits for spe-
cial musters to initiate new members had
doubied within the past two weeks. Dur
ing the late campaign the membership in
creased 800 in the very heat of the contest
and the roll just returned for the last
quarter showed a membership of over 3D.
600. IL any dissatisfaction was threatened
for supposed political or other Gauss.
neither be or Department Commander
General A d. NanOsdol were aware of it.
He denied that the G. A. r. had in any
way been turned into q political machine
and said that the visit OF veterans here
during the campaign was not a manifesto
ton of their political views.

Governor GUY.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 26.-Governor
Guy, of the Chickasaw Nation, passed
through the city on his way to Tisho-
mingo from Muskogee, L T., where he had
been looking after his Gubernatoriai in
terests. He said while here that he will,
on his return home, take charge of the
Chichasaw Government and attend to the
executive duties of the Nation regardless
Of the consequences, and that he had been
legally elected Governor; and he intends
to assume the Gubernatorial responsible
ties at once, notwithstanding there is
great danger of his being assassinated any
moment after he takes charge of the
tribal affairs. Byrd and his party have
left the capital.

THE UNCERTAIN HOUSE.
The Republicans Appear to Have a Bare
Majority at Present.

WASHINGTON, Nov. aL-Senators and
members are arriving daily aud by the
end of the week full attendance is ex-
pected of members of both branches some
of whom have been absent from the city
since August, when the House was finally
reduced TO less than a quorum and the
Senate was lef; in hardly better condi-
ton. Congressman Benton McM.llin, of
Tennessee, arrived last night and reoccu-
pied his old quarters at the Riggs. He
was beSiesed by a host o. newspaper men
but declined to be interviewed at this
juncture.
No change has occurred to deter mine the
certainty or uncertainty of the political
preponderancy of the Fifty-first House,
and both Democrats and Republicans claim
q majority which nothing but the official
canvasses and certificates Of the Gov
errors of the various States can settle.
The opinion seems to obtain, however,
that on the face of the returns the Repub-
icaus have bare majority. but this may
be changed in favor of the Democrats by
the official count.

Read the Bible when you are fresh

Bring thy children up in learning

austerity. Give them good counte-

life will seem their bondage, and what

death. they will thank death for it, and
not thee. Lord Buritigh.
Sin is very simple word. but it is
a very awful thing. A little child could
spell the word; but no one, not even
the angels that dwell in Heaven. could
explain the thing, or tell the evils it has
wrought. 1t is a deadly tree. whose
fruit and whose shadows have filled the
world. and from which everybody has

Our public schools are organized
and maintained to fit the child for
the fulfillment of his duty as
citizen. But duty is founded
on obligation, and obligation on justice.
Now, justice is the basis OF morality,
and. joined with truth, gives us all that
is known as religion. Society depends
for its existence on truth and justice.
Education must therefore embrace both,
if civilized society is to exist and civil
lied government to endure.
We all have our weak points, but
there are few of US who have not also
our strong points. God has not over
looked any one of us. There is no per-
sonality framed entirely out of weak
nesses. We all have been given our
talents. 1t is these in which our main
strength lies. Whatever of power and
infiuence-whether for good or evil-we
acquire over our fellows, is by the use
of our personality. And the strength
of our personality is its gifts and

Inherited Diseases.

No fact Of nature Is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact Of the
inheritance Of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
30 many dark corners of nature, has shed
new light on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation"
Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption,
cancer and scrofHla, run in families
ttary In q marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: 'tNo organ
or texture Of the body is exempt from
the chance Of being the subject Of
hereditary disease" Probably moro
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions Of
the body, are more or less liable to be In
herited. The importan and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and tho
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases Is a subject Of intense in
terest TO all. Fortunately nature has
provided remedy, which experience
has attested as infallible, and the rene.
dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific,
Q pure vegetable ompound-nature'%
antidote for all blood poisons. To the
afflicted it is q blessing OF inestimable

Shade for the Fowls.

Have you plenty of shade for your
fowls? 1t is an admirable plan to keep
the chickens in the orchard. In that
case they will have plenty of shade and
grass. but if they are confined or even
given their liberty in dry lot OF field
without natural shade, provide some-
thing for their comfort. If nothing
better can be prepared, lean few old
boards against the fence and let them
run under these, or fix sort of shed of
brush or even corn stalks and cover
well with grass or weeds, but do pro-
vide something for them and place the
water vessel under it where the water
will keep cool little longer.
If you think they don't need it, just
stand bare. headed in the hot sun half
hour or so and then take drink of
water that has been in the sun q while
and see if you won't change your mind.
