The why of the wherefore.

EDITOR HERALD:-Why is it that in all
our knowledge Of the bright hereafter we
find no CLEAN Of bumor? Nothing bright
ems this life more than wit, humor,
healthy fun. Can it he that the sweet
bye-and. bye is so sadly serious that no
place is found for that quality, without
which man is unlovely and unsafe?
The spiritualist wraps himself up in
his trance as in a garment and permits
the shades Of the departed to converse
through his eloquent lips. From Sheri-
dan and Swift to Bunyan and Jonathan
Edwards they come; they are evidently
'just dying to talk" But who ever
heard one Of these emancipated beings
indulge in a joke, even Of a religious
character? Why, one would as soon ex-
pect a prohibitiOnist to cast reasonable
vote.
Nature has q full-blooded tone Of pleas
ure. Witness the sensuous delight Of a
summer day, the full-throated happiness
Of her songsters and the very joy Of being
which fills plant and beast and man, or
the sweeter delight Of her midnight hours
as the stars move, twinkling, through
their moonlight measures.
She tones her joke, too, from the uItex-
pected down-pour when the rain-stick has
been left ut home, TO the grim pleasantly
Of "Jo-Jo, the dog-faced Russian boy"
The supernatural, however, seems to
be devoid Of hunor. Is it really 80? Is
there no fun in the future? II it is so,
Why is it so?
One should really know in time, as in
these b. s. mot b. and S. days one might
elect to drink Of the liquid Of life and
remain here.
Now that the capital matter is tenn
porarily settled. kindly cast the cal
Oium light Of your editorial penetration
on this not unimpOrtant question. Should
your reflector lack the power to throw 4
ray to the heart Of the question, It may
he that this may meet the eye Of one who
has more light. So

SHOOTING AT wGNATcnEE.
GeOFGe Radls IL Shot and Danger.
OusIY wounded BY Peterson.

Ellensburgh StG'e Register: wenatchee
furnishes a sensation In the form Of a
shooting affair in which one person was
dangerously wounded. There was rnmor
IN the streets that woman was mixed
up in the trouble, but this is denied by
one Of the principals, Geor:e Radle, who
is now lying in bed at the Horton House.
He makes the following statement:
Peterson and myself were talking yes
terday in regard to $50 which he owes me.
lie refused to pay me and uses insulting
language when struck him with my fist.
He Immediately pulled his gun and fred
two shots, one taking effect in the left
arm and the other in the hip"
Mr.. Radle at first refused to make any
statement but relaxed his reticenCe when
informed that report was in circulation
to the effect that he had loved not wisely
but too well. The doctors were unable to
find the ball in the left hip and his con-
dition is considered dangerous but not
necessarily fatal.

did not play On the piano ut all and
20 made him q good wife. She was q
remarkable woman in many respects,
and as she walked through the spa
cious halls Of her home her footballs
sounded like a game Of beanbag at q
quiet social.
She dressed plainly in an army
blanket. and. in addition to her house
work, used to catch muskrats during
the winter. She became the mother Of
five halfbreed children. Her husband
died in 1910 rs result Of his efforts 10

1t would remove warts, corns, and
bunions. Mr.. Fontanelle used il fire.
quently in order to afford eXhilaration.
Finally it began to afford not only
board and lodging, but also spectacu-
lar entertainments. during one Of which
he suddenly expired, leaving four sons
and one daughter. Logan was finally
killed by the Sioux, after having made
coed many experiments with the
demon rum. Albert was II blacksmith
up to his death, since which little is
known Of him. He was thrown from q
mule i'll vertical direction, and when
he struck the town his soul had fed.
The mules injuries were slight. Te-
cumseh was killed by his brother-in-
law in drunken frolic. He was
lovely character except when drunk.
When he was drunk he frequently said
things which he afterward bitterly re-
yrettcd.
Mrs. Fontanelle had the ill-fortune
to see one Of her little sons coming
home from school with a spear inserted
in him one day, from which he died. She
found out that the deed was done by an
Iowa Indian.
She concealed an ax under her
blanket, and, telling him to look nj the
beautiful sunlight which batbed .he
entire landscape and flooded it with
glory, she spat on her hands, and,
swinging the AK about with great vigor,
buried it in the center Of the low,
coarse brute. Wiping the AK carefully
with her OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, she re-
turned to her home and wrote up the
occurrence tor the local papers, laying
blame mostly on the deceased for the
unfortunate affair.
Omaha is situated in the eastern part
of the State, her feet being bathed by
the waters of the Missouri. The Mis-
souri, carries quite q quantity of Ne
braska down to Louisiana every year,
but replaces the loss by leaving large
deposits of Dakota in the meantime.
The Missouri is quite wet stream,
however, compared with the Platte.

Farms in Nebraska are valuable, es-

Omaha was founded by Fred Nye at
the close of the war. Nye, who is n
Spaniard by birth, with rich CASTLE
blood in his veins, discovered the site
of Omaha by accident, and Immediately
started paper there, which was fol-
lowed by the arrival of several thou
sand people who came there to sub
scribe for the paper.

business, camped at hat is now Com

hostile Indians at this point under the
provisions of which the Indians were
firmly bound by those presents to
avoid killing the Messrs. Lewis &
Clarke. They also decided a few coun-
ties to the white man in consideration
of twenty cents worth of beads and a
tine-tooth comb, to them in hand paid.
