NICE sOCIABLE TIME.
Two Men Killed and Three Other
~ People Injured in Iowa


Jefferson, Iowa, Jan. 29-As a result
OF a desperate fight at an early hour
this morning, two men are dead, two
men dangerously wounded, and a
young lady seriously injured. The
Killed are John Brown Jr. and John
Flick. The injured are John Brown
ST., shot through the face; Miss Tillie
FLICK, beat with club, and George
= Fleck, shot through the back. The
trouble arose over an old feud The
Flecks broke into the Brown resid ence
and opened fire with revolvers and
shotguns. John Brown and his two
sons and daughter engaged the men,
but had no firearms, until a revolver
was secured from young Flick. Geo.
Fleck, the 16-year-old son, entered
with a revolver in each hand and be-
gan firing. One bullet struck Brown
IN the cheek and another passed
through the elder Flecks' hands. A
moment later the eldest son, John Jr.,
appeared, and young Fleck began
pumping lead at him. One ball struck
him in the breast, Just above the
heart, and another tore flesh from his
forehead. Here the scene changed.
Jim Brown, a 17-year-old son, entered,
and, sizing up the situation, grabbed a
stick OF firewood and knocked both re-
volvers from young Fleck's hands.
John Jr., although dangerously wound
ed, reached one Of the guns and plant
ed a bullet in young Fleck's back, he
having turned to run. Jim followed
and caught Fleck and dubbed him
over the head until he was uncon-
scious. Neighbors, attracted to the
scene, shortly after put a stop to the
battle. The wounded are dangerously
injured.

If there is any one thing that will
elect Bryan president of these Unit
ed States, it is the attitude of the
gold press toward him, as taken by
some of the great papers OF our
country. Sneering at him and call
ing names will not answer the ar
guments put forth in favor of the
principles he represents, neither
will it impair the strength of the
candidate with the voters. On the
other hand it will strengthen him,
for the day is gone by in this coun-
try when the people can be inhu-
enced by such rot in lieu of argu
ment.

Natures Salute to the Rising
Sun.

l stood upon the summit of the
Cascades near Crystal Lake, in view
of Mount Jefferson, Mt. Hood and
the Three Sisters in the early morn
long before the stars went out and
watched their merry twinkle. All
was silent as death. The chill
breath of those snow capped noun
tains was health giving and invigo-
rating, and for a while kept away
the ideals of dreamland and fresh
ened my mind that might take in
the beauties of nature, as they sa-
luted the rising sun. Seating my
self upon great granite boulder,
that time and and the changing
seasons had worn smooth, eagerly
and earnestly watched for the dawn
ing of another day, whose birth
would be welcomed and praised by
the covering of every hill and noun
tain top and thus sat quietly waiting
for the carol Of the early birds whose
soft notes would be sweeter than
the music of any mans invention.
1 became sleepy in spite Of all my
efforts to keep awake, and was soon
in happy dreamland. l felt as hap
py and care free as the dove that
winged its flight in the springtime.
l dreamed that l was on the Rock
of Ages and had sat upon my high
perch from the beginning of time.
l had noted the seasons come and
go, had seen the SNOW clad moun-
tains to the north and south shed
their white coverings in
gentle tear drops and feed the little
brooklets, they in turn adding their
mite to the grand old Willamette as
it coursed its way to the sea joining
issue with the old Columbia the
mighty river of the west, which in
turn emptied its cooling wavelets
into the broad bosom of the Pacific.
1 saw the gentle snowdrop bow its
head in humble worship to the heat
of summer time, sweet williams and
wild roses in their matchless beauty
vie with the morning glory in show
ing their modest faces to be warmed
and kissed by the morning sun.
beheld the lordly Elk as he stalked
about in quest of his summer mate
and the Indian warrior speed his
poisoned arrow into the fleeing deer
1 had seen the king Of beasts making
his morning meal upon the bounding
antelope, and the seasons waning
into autumn time, the once greer
foliage was painted in scarlet red
; The summer had died. Gone wa
t the fragrance and the flowers.
t had for ages watched each season
come and go as regular as the hou
hand of time. l had seen the stron!
devour the weak, generations @
people come and go, and the gras
that had waved green in the valley
whitened and decayed by winte
/. frosts. l had watched the prairi
: flower and mountain lilly as the
waved in the early spring time an
when the winter winds played sa
music through their leafless boughs
1 had seen nothing created but wha
something greater would follo'
y after. Every time the grea
orb of day came up and warme
mother earth, it caused new bloc
to course through her healthy vein
which III turn cherished to life

\ ton in the winter time enriche

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE.
Much Interest Displayed in the Race
for First Place.

The race for the championship in the
Departmental Baseball League grows more
interesting and exciting us i t draws near
the close, which will be on September 1 Z.
The champions Of last season, the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing, are again in
the lead and unless something unforeseen
happens will distance all their opponents in
the final struggle. There are however, n
number of scheduled and postponed games
to be played, but even if the Bureau were
TO lose half Of these, which is quite i'm
probable they would still lead by good
percentage.
The Bureaus being now virtually out Of
the race all eyes are turned TO the struggle
between the Washington Lg19 Infantry
and District Commissioners teams for
second place. At the present time there
is very little difference in the standing
of these clubs and as they will only meet
once more before the close of the season
the result of the game will be watched
with much interest.
The Washington Light Infantry team Is
now in the lead by one game, but II they
should lose TO the Districts the standing
would be even, both in winnings and 1osings.
They also have the same number of
seized uled and postponed games to play, and
it is the general opinion that in these their
chances are about equal. So it is felt by
the members of both teams that the position
at the close of the season depends more
upon the result Of the game on the 18th Of
the present month than on that of any other
Of those to be played.
As to the other teams the Money Handlers
from the Treasury and the Cavalrymen from
Fort Myer are making the race backward
and are making desperate fight between
themselves to avoid the tail end of the list,
