A LITTLE BOY KILLED.
Buried Under a Heavy Pile OF Lumber
Yesterday.

George F. MIST, the 3-year-old son Of ]. VI. Mist,
living at 81 Rollin street, was found dead yes
terday afternoon between the hours of 4 and 5
o'clock under lumber pile near the house.
The Mist family live near the lumber yard of
the SkoOkum Manufacturing Company. The
child was playing about the yard, but when
Mrs Mist went to look for the little one he could
not be found. Some children near by COM
meneed searching for the lost child, and soon
discovered the body lying under a pile of
boards Coroner Horton was notified, and on
making an examination rendered a decision
that the child was killed by falling lumber.
The child was found under Pile OF boards
eight feet high by thirty long. No one saw the
child near or upon the pile, but from the posi-
ton OF the body and the manner in which the
child was found, it is safe to say that falling
board struck him upon the shoulder and tenn
pie, causing instant death.
The remains were taken TO Bonney d Stew
arts and prepared for burial, which viii take
place from the church of the Sacred Heart to-
morrow morning at o'clock. The remains
will be buried at Calvary cemetery.

Tho COurse Of Investments.
Cherokee Sentinel.

OuetOkco oonttneAs
The evidence has been Of late years
more than once demonstrated that one
extreme follows another. The close
observer will not only see this rule
verified In the business world but 1t
can be seen In the great waves Of re-
form, fashion, literature, etc. But we
have in mind the financial changes
within the last few years 40 well az
the rise and fall of different cOmmuni-,
ties. Within the last thirty years we
had what is now called good times and
property went up like q rocket aud
sale was found at good price for all
useful commodities. But In q few
wears there came O great depression,
and values went down and sales were
hard 10 make ut nominal figures.
Farm lands during the prosperous
years were ready sale, at good figure,
but went down aud no buyers were
found. But while farm lands were
unstable there was craze for town.
lots and surplus capital was poured
out like water In order to secure lots
IN the boom towns Of the west.
MANY men became millionares In
few weeks, and there seemed to be no
end 10 the demand. But all OF q sud
den the collapse came and now town
lots in the same cities are worthless.
Then surplus capital sought mines and
mining property, and for the last four
years this branch of industry has been
wild over investments, and the reac-
ton has already set IN and there Is
decline in mining stocks. And here
we will make a prediction that will
surely be fulfilled and which is now
being recognized, viz: that the next
great wave of investment will be in
farm lands. Farm lands cannot re-
main long at the figure now offered,
without attracting the attention Of
capital, and when the move begins,
lands will surely advance In price until
they are above there real value, and
when this comes to pass q reaction
again will take place. We do not be-
| lieve that these changes are always at
tributable to artificial causes but II
seems to be q law of nature, that the
human mind Is impelled IN different
channels, at stated periods. Yet this
would do 10 set down as rule. One
extreme follows another has been veri-
fed to such an extent that 1t has pass
ed into proverb.

The Fish Law.

AZ we have heard recently that par
ties using trammel nets and other

wish to lay themselves liable to the

lish the law of Kansas in regard tU
fishing. Read 1t and govern your.
selves accordingly. Here 1t is:
lett is lawful 10 catch fish with
hook and line at any time in the year
in any stream.
2nd.-It is lawful to catch fish by
any means or device, net or trap, ex.
cept during the months Of May and
June.
4th.-It is unlawful for any person
at any time to take, catch, or Kill
black bass, croppies, perch or wall
eyed pike except by hook and line.
5.-It is unlawful ut any time OF
place, or under any pretense, to OBJ
struct any of the streams in this state
by building q dam or otherwise with
out constructing a fish way, and Il
Is unlawful to maintain any dam oil
obstruction already made or con
structed without constructing q fist
way.
6th.-I Is unlawful for any person
10 take, catch or kill any fish by pois'
oning- the water, or by explosives o
any kind, placed Oh or in the water.
This law applies alike to all citizens

more right to unlawfully catch or xii
fish In such river or stream than
stranger.
If the stream is a running stream
and suitable for breeding fish the gen
eral law applies.
