Raum in Trouble Again,


Pension Commissioner Raum is again
catching it on all sides, and it seems
hard to understand how he can posi-
bly, retain his position this time. There
is direct issue between him and Sec
rotary Noble, who has declined to dis
miss the three pension Office employees
who had made affidavit to being
approached by young Raum with an
offer of promotion if they would pay
the price-S5O.OO. AS the removal of
these three men was demanded by
Raum it is thought the refusal of Sec
rotary Noble to remove them leaves
Raum no other course but to resign.
There are also ugly stories about war
claim pending before the treasury
department, in which Raum is interest
ed, which it is said has been placed in
Mr.. HarriSon's hands. General Raum
has gone to Illinois on two weeks
leave of absence, and there are many
who believe that his resignation is al
ready in Mr.. Harrison's hands and
that it will take effect at the expira-
ton of that time. He said just before
he left town that he had not resigned
and would not resign while under fire,
but Tanner talked that way too

A few years ago an aged couple lived
in quiet home on Washington boule-
ward, near Union park. Their married
life covered more than three score
years. They were especially devoted
to each other, and advancing years
seemed to clasp the bonds of early love
closer and closer. They were people of
much refinement and culture. Atlength
the old gentleman passed peacefully
and hopefully away. The widow sur
vived and seemed to live in the same
close companionship that had made
beautiful all their married life. The
spirit side of life was toward her, and
the curtain so thin she could catch
glimpses of the beautiful life 16
yond. Her ninetieth birthday was
near. The natural forces were yield
ing and her friends knew the supreme
moment was only little way off. Her
mind retained all it's strength and
clearness, and when thoughts of the
future came with especial force there
seemed spiritual illumination that
caught it's tints from the border land.
One morning she said to her daughter:

Over The Morphine Route.

S. B. Deupree, aged SO years, died
at the home of r. Herold, two miles
northeast of Ellinwood on Sunday
morning last. His death resulted from
a dose of morphine, whether taken
with suicidal intent or by accident no
one will ever know. The circumstances
as near as we can learn them, are as
follows:
Saturday evening Mr.. Deupree and
J. T. Davis, after spending the after
noon and evening in social amusement
in Ellinwood, went to the home of Her
old with the intention of going hunting
the next day. When Davis and Deu-
pree went to bed, Deupree took a
powder, and when asked by Davis what
it was, said it was ''quinine." He
also remarked to Davis that if he
Deupree-snored too loud to punch
HIM in the ribs. In the-morning Mr..
Davis got up and left Deupree asleep.
Later they tried to wake him but
failed; he seemed to grow sounder
asleep all the time. Becoming alarmed,
DR.. Dunn, of Ellin wood, was sent for.
He came and worked with the sleeper,
out without avail, and about 10 o'clock
a. m. he ceased to breathe. his sleep
being the one. that ''knows no waking
Several doses of morphine were found
in the dead mans pockets, the drug
having been purchased at Hutchinson
drug store.
Deupree was in Great Bend Satur-
day, talking to friends and transacting
business in his usual manner, nothing
indicating that he contemplated quit
ting this weary world for one unknown.
At Ellinwood he told gentleman to
write to the Atchison wholesale gro
Gerry house for which he travelled that
he, Deupree, "would not hold his jor
any longer-was going to quit them.
He left wife, but no children. His
life was one Of many ups and downs
and his character, peculiar one. His
remains were inferred in the Lyons
cemetery on Monday, the 18th.

The fashionable Trunk.

The fashionable trunk to-day is the
rattan basket, safely tufted inside,
lined with linen, and furnished with
but one tray. 1t has stout cover OF
waterproof canvass, bound with sole
leather, with as little metal as possible
used in the makeup. 1t is so light that
a child can lift it when it is unpacked-
There is nothing more durable than
rattan, as the oriental nations found
out long ago. A good trunk of rattan

ALLIANCE men, OF at least some of
them, will tell you that prohibition is
not an issue this fall, land advise you
to pay no attention to what is said on
that question. Everybody With bit
of sense knows that the prohibition
question will be before the people all
the time, or at least until the people of
Kansas have been given an opportunity
to show by their ballots whether Or not,
after trial of ten or more years, they
want the kind of prohibition the re-
publican party has given US. The
reason certain of the third party leaders
are so anxious to have nothing said on
the vexed question is plain enough.
They are at heart prOhibitionists, and
hope eventually to lead the peoples
party of Kansas into an Endorsement
of that policy, and they know as well
as you do, reader, that should the
masses of voters become convinced of
their plans the third party movement,
in Barton county especially, would
vanish into the air. There are other
counties in the state where they, the
third party leaders. openly avow
the ultimate intention in that direction.
because in those localities the alliance
drew its strength mostely from the re
publican party. In Barton. however,
they say ''pay no attention to prohibi-
ton or prohibition talk" Voters,
beware, they are fooling thee.
