Clue Grimm.

great Falls telegram says: Councilman
Jerry Collins who has returned from a
journalistic trip to Kibbey, describes the
clue which he and others found to a dark
crime committed fouryears ago. Mr.. Collins
says: Upon reaching Kibbey we learned
from Judge Larkin that a human skeleton
had been found day or two before on the
steep grade on the Kibbey & Mccarthy road.
aDout seven miles from the former place.
We proceeded to the place and found the
skeleton. Near by was some clothing which
proved on investigation to have been a can
vas coat with a flannel lining We naturally
sought solution of the mysterious find and
received one from Judge Larkin He said he
had been living in that section nine years

wood ranchman, murdered man he had
employed simply to avoid, paving him
wages due. When circumstances be-
gan to point to Stoner's guilt he
fled the country and has not been heard from.
1t was then remembered that man named
Valentine, who had worked for Stoner near
~ two years, had suddenly disappeared some
time before, and the belief became general in
the nelghborhood that he, too, had been
murdered by Stoner. Valentine could get
no money from his employer and decided to
60 TO Barker and work few months until
Stoner was ready to pay him. Some one
went with Valentine part OF the way on this
trip, and, as the story goes. that was the
last ever seen of Valentine. Now, the place
where the skeleton was discovered is on the
direct route from High wood to Barker. and
it is not only possible, but highly probable,
that he skeleton was that OF Stoner's first
victim The place was then fit for the COM
mission of such deed. No one then lived
within six miles OF the place. The murderer
could have been protected from possible
view by the clumps of scrubby pine surround.

LET THE DEAD PAST GO.

The expressions of both Secretary-of-
War Proctor and Postmaster General
Wanamaker. incident to the death Of
Jefferson Davis, are models of propriety
and respect for the feelings of the south
ern people. Mr.. Wanamaker said:
1.-The passing away of Jefferson Davis
shuts from view the last great landmark
of the terrible war. If it could end all
the divisions and strifes, and bury in a
deep grave the difference of sections, a
day of peace and prosperity would dawn
upon the land" This unquestionably
expresses the sentiment of a large ma
jority of the people of the northern
states. The absence of bitterness or even
harshness of criticism on the part Of
northern papers and public men since
Davis death has been as marked, all
but, as the universally of the sorrow ex-
pressed in the south at that fateful event.
And whatever the provocation hitherto
to say hard things about the leader of
the lost cause the north can afford to act
upon the postmaster generals sugges-
ton, end the strife, bury in the grave
with the dead leader the difference that
he contributed largely towards creating,
and thus remove as far as that may
whatever of hindrance it has exerted to
the peace and prosperity of the land.

ORGANIZED FOR BUSINESS.

From the indianapolis Journal.
A comparison of the construction OF
the ways and means committee of the
last congress and the present one is in
structive in showing how the business
interests of the country were represent
ed. In the last congress Hon. Roger Q.
Mills was chairman of the committee.
and the states represented by the ma ior-
ity of the committee were Texas, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Kentucky. Georgia,
West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylva-
MIA. According to the last census these
states contained 1861 manufacturing
establishments. with an invested capital
of 1888, 231 go, and an annual produc-
ton worth 81 .069, 943, 719. The majority
of the present committee represent the
states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Maine, California, New York, Wisconsin
and Iowa. These states had, by the last
census, los, 757 manufacturing establish
ments, with Sill, AS, 1873 of invested
capital. and an annual production of
50. 15,, 534, 500. The states left off the
new committee are Georgia, West Nir-
ginia and Indiana, with 1850 manu-
featuring establishments, 500, 29S, 162
invested capital. and turned out prod
ucts valued at S20.. 314 4s5. The states
added to the new committee are New
York. California. Iowa and Wisconsin
which had 62.2i9 manufacturing estab-
lishments, with 1858, 099. 9S7 invested
capital, and 81, 396, 2t6.9 15 worth of an
nual products. The figures show that
the pre- sent committee represents the
active and productive industries of the
country in far greater degree than the
last one did. Tariff revision is in the
hands of its friends.

PEABODY CREAMERY.
PEARODy. Kan. Dec. 10 Is

PEABODY, Kan, Dec. 10, 1889.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
One of the most notable and worthy
enterprises of this growing city is the
Peabody creamery, run by the Peabody
Creamery company, and under the direct
management of MIR. Charles johnson, a
very genial gentleman, and person of
wide and extended experience in this
line of business. The Peabody creamery
is an establishment of which the citizens
of this pushing Kansas town may well
feel proud, 1t has been established seven
years and has done successful and pay
ing business from the start. The
company has buildings valued at
$4,000, and expect to make more
additions soon. Owing to the fact
that cattle raising is so extensive in the
vicinity of Peabody the creamery has
experienced no difficulty in securing a
bountiful supply of cream, and during
the past summer the creamery made as
high as 800 pounds of butter per day.
Eleven wagons are kept on the road con-
stantly. All of the products of the
creamery are shipped to New Mexico,
and the manager informs us that the
company will do $4,000 business this
season. The creamery business is one of
the coming great Industries of the west
and the people of Kansas should lose no
opportunity of encouraging the estab-
fishing of such enterprises in every
county in the state. G..

If the recommendation Of the presi-
dent in bis message to congress, that in
the revision of the tariff schedule the
principle of protection should not only
be maintained but extended SO as to ap-
ply more fully to the products of the
farm as well as to the workshop and
mine; if these things shall receive the
consideration at the hands of congress
that their importance demands and of
right that they are entitled to, the
grounds of much of the complaint Of the
farmers. that of seeming discrimination
against them, will be removed and theirs
be placed upon an equal footing of adj
vantage with every other industry. The
farmers have the right to expect this;
they do not ask any more, and they are
giving unmistakable evidence that they
will not be satisfied with anything short
of that.

Barber Seconds Harper's Motion.

From the Barber County index.
The Anthony Republican iavors the
calling of a convention at Wichita to
take steps TO advertise this part of Kan
sas TO the world. That paper thinks
that as long as we have raised such splen-
did crops, and our lands being so cheap,
an organized effort should be made to
advertise these facts among people Who
are wanting homes in the west IL ev-
cry city and county would become inter
ested in this movement. and. laying aside
petty jeaiousies, all work together, some
good might be accomplished by a con-
vention. Barber county is never slow
to work for the general good of Kansas,
and if meeting IS held az Wichita. this
county will no doubt be represented.

until electricity has been formally tried

1t seems that there is but little abate-
ment in the inflow of English capital
into the United States for permanent in
vestment. Every such dollar invested
here releases an equal amount for active
employment IN some other enterpr.s e.
There being at present no line of invest
ments that offer special inducements to
investors, the home capital liberated by
foreign will naturally be distributed in
Its unemployment so that ali lines of
business will feel its revivifying effects.
There is no scarcity of money in the
country, taking the entire volume out
standing: the trouble is and has been for
some time the concentration of large
amounts into few enterprises. This is
one OF the most hurtful features of the
trust iniQuity. Whether the changing
of investments referred TO will afford
more than temporary and partial relief
in this direction remains to be seen. II
is hoped that, supplemented bv needed
legislation in regard 10 trusts and com
bines, long desired and much needed re-
lief will be afforded.

The Star is satisfied that the best solr-

in high license and local option as state
policy. which gives each community the
right to prohibit the sale of liquor alto
gether or to license and regulate such
sale. The Star has nevertheless opposed
the agitation for resubmission of the con-
stitutional prohibition provision in Kan
sas. because it is satisfied, after thorough
investigation, that the people of Kansas
themselves are opposed to such agita-
ton.
