A PARTING WORD.

Before another issue OF the SHEAF
makes it's appearance, the American
people will have recorded their SOW
ereign will at the ballot box. The
citizen will have discharged a most
important and solemn duty. What
ever the verdict be, we hope and
pray that it will be just, and for the
best interests Of the country and al
the people. We all want to do right,
but we differ as to methods. This
has been a campaign OF education.
During the past few months the
SHEAF has in it's humble way, and in
all sincerity, presented the issues Of
the campaign as it sees them. 1t be.
|ieves that the election OF Bryan and
the success OF the democratic party
with all the strange policies for which
it now stands, would be a bad thing
for the country-for as all. The un-
limited free coinage of silver at the
ratio OF l6 to 1, by this country
alone, wouM plunge us into a disas-
trous panic, that would mean finan-
cial ruin and business stagnation for
a long period OF time. On the other
hand we confidently believe that the
election of William Mckinley and the
success Of the Republican party,
pledged to the cause Of sound money
and q protective tariff, would be the
mOsteffective way to restore conf
idence and a sense Of security in the
Ehlsmess world and again start the
wheels Of industry that Will furnish
work and wages to the people, and
restore the prosperity we had before
1892.
The condition OF things in this
'oountry at present is surely most de-
plorable. Large numbers Of work
iagmen have had little or nothing to
do since 1882. There are in our large
.eities thousands and thousands Of
laen who know not where to get their
next meal or their next nights
lodging. Their wives and children
raise their ARMS toward high heaven
and cry for bread. Shall we not lis
ten to their appeal? Shall we in
i,stead listen to the demand OF the
millionaire silver miner AMI enrich
him by stamping SO cents of his pro-
duct one dollar? When these moth
eas and children cry for bread shall
we offer them q stone? 1t ought to
he plain to every thinking man that.
it is not the money, but the chance
to earn it, that ails this country to-
day.
The SHEAF begs every voter to lay
aside passion and prejudice and con-
slider these questions carefully and
conscientiously, and then in the
light OF his best Judgment cast his
vote accordingly. We believe that
many Il voter when alone in that
little room with his conscience and
his God will then and there decide to
vote for that typical American citi-|
zen, in craftsmanship true and tried,

Republican Candidate for Repre-.
sentative.
p H. .kONZEN,

The subject OF this sketc'.4 was born
in Chickasaw county, iowa, on the
9th day Of May, 1857, OF German
parentage, 1t a time when thatcoun-
ty en-, ,oyed fewer ofNthe amenities OF
civilization than most OF the Red
River valley settlers have experienced
in their frontier life. His father being
one al the early pioneers Of thatcoun-
ty at time when settlement pre-
ceded railroad building, and for
many years his nearest neighbor was
four miles distant: He was reared
upon a. farm and until 16 years OF
| age assisted his father in doing the
work Of the farm. During this time,
by dint OF application and the aid OF
the public schools, he succeeded in
fitting himself for the position of a
teacher, and thereafter, by his own
personal Efforts and the frugal herd
ingiof his parents upon small farm,
he was enabled to complete his edu-
cation by an elective course at the
Iowa University, afterwards taking
a business course at Baily' CONNER
cial College at the city OF Keokuk,
Iowa. InI878 lie entered the law
office OF II. III. Poten, at New Hamp-
ton, Iowa, where he read law and
began to prepare himself for his pro-
fessional career. During a part Of
1879 and 1880 he published a weekly
paper in his native town in northern
Iowa, and in the spring Of 1881 he
sold out his paper and came to the
golden fields OF the Red River valley,
locating at Hallock- In the fall Of
that same year he was elected to the
Office OF superintendent OF schools Of
Kittson county. which he held for
seven years, and thereafter held the
Office OF county attorney OF the same
county for two years. He is a con-
sistent republican and out-spoken in
his political opinions, while, however,
according to all people the right to
believe and vote as they wish. Mr..
Konzen is a good lawyer, man OF
first class educational attachments,
a good business man, and his ability
asa public speaker has earned for
him the sobriquette of 'sthe silver
tongued orator OF Hallock." He is
a man OF sterling integrity and his
residence of fifteen years in Kittson
county has won him the confidence
and respect, as well as the esteem OF
all who know him.
Mr. konzen is Il man of the people,
being literally sself-made'' and hav-
ing worked his way up from the farm,
none know or appreciate more fully
the wants, or sympathize more heart
| lily with the unrequitted efforts Of the
toiling millions. He is bright and
observant and understands the
wants Of this Legislative district, and
if elected will, by reason OF his ability
and influence, be able to serve this
district ably and efficiently, and to
the full satisfaction Of this conf
stituency.

 The assembling was at Foot Guard armory at o'clock, and from there the procession marched to the cemetery to the grave of General David Hum phreys, where General George II. Ford, marshal of the day, gave a short ad- dress as follows;
 General David Humphreys, whose name this branch of the Sons of the American Revolution of the Connec- ticut society has the honor of bearing was for more than fifty years the fore most citizen of Connecticut and one oi the most prominent patriots from this state in the War of the Revolution As a soldier he served under Genera Putnam and General Greene, and later upon the staff of the great Washington
 He was associated as statesman with Adams, Jefferson, Trumbull and Frank lin. Later he was @ most prominent manufacturer and business man in this section of the state.
 The inscription upon his monument written by his friend, Jonathan Trum. bull, at whose tomb to-day the Connec- ticut Society of the Sons of the Ameri, can Revolution do honor in gathering conveys to our minds the esteem il which he was held:

He was one of the five to draft the Declaration of Independence of America, his associates being Thomas ! Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin | Franklin and Philip Livingston.

A MURDERER's CONFESSIONAL tel
egram from Memphis, Mo-, announces
that Chas. Castle, former resident OF
Chesterton, committed suicide Thurs
day after confessing to numbering his
sisters lover. For many years the fam
ily were residents of the neighborhood.
About four years ago they moved to
Three Oaks, Mich, and there Castle
married wealthy woman. he squan-
dered her money and left her. His sis
ter became Engaged to an old veteran
named Jacob Foster. The family about
a wear ago left Three Oaks, Mich, CIV
ing out thst they would return to Ches-
terton, but instead, passed through the
place and went to Memphis, Mo. There
Miss Castle was about to marry a
wealthy business man, Hesryf9rd, it is
said, when Foster appeared on the
scene. The next day after his arrival
he disappeared. Foster owned some
property at Three Oaks, and also drew a
large pension, payable at the lndianap-
oils agency, which was never called for.
His relatives became alarmed and be-
gan a search for him. A clue was found
at Chesterton, where Foster had come
and gone to Memphis. Upon arriving
at Memphis the relatives obtained the
aid of the officers, and began search
for Foster. Castle heard of it, and bid
ding his sister goodbye, jumped into q
buggy and drove to small town, and
engaged quarters at hotel. In the
morning he was found dead, having
shot himself. He left note, confess
ing that he had killed Foster, but fail
ed to tell what he did with the body.
Twenty-Five years ago Castles father

terton. whom he charged with being in.
innate with his wife, but was acquitted
after trial. The family we're promi-
emit and highly connected.

Serious CHARGES.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 6.-Rev. DIR.
John Lanahan sprung sensation in
the Methodist preachers meeting this
morning when he announced that IN a
few days he will publish an era OF
frauds in the Methodist book concern,
at New York, of which he was at one
time an agent. DR.. Lanahan will, he
says, furnish indubitable proof that for
more than twelve years every financial
report made to the church was false
from twenty thousand to a hundred
thousand dollars; that said reports
were false as to the amount of cash in
bank, because the senior agent used it
to speculate in stocks in Wall street;
that large sums of money sent to the
concern for church benevolences
were used in the same way. He
further stated that the pur-
chase of 100000 worth of paper was
fraudulently availed of by the superir-
tendent, who allowed man having no
connection with the concern to realize
handsome benefit on its purchase; that
more than $4,000 worth of leather was
paid for in less than two years of which
no account was given. In addition to
these charges, DIR. Lanahan stated that
three large oil companies were secretly
organized and carried on by the senior
agent at New York, with the co-opera-
ton of other employees of the concern,
without the knowledge of the church.
The capital stock of the three coupa-
MES aggregated more than million
dollars. DR.. Lanahan says he is in a
position to prove his case before any
ecclesiastical or civil tribunal.

EIGHTY. SIX YEARS OLD.-Next Fri.
day, April 10th, the venerable A. NJ.
Simpson, of this city, will celebrate his
eighty-sixth birth day. He was born in
Fairfax county, near the Episcopal
Theological Seminary, April 10Th, 1910.
and, his mother having died when he
was an infant, was raised to the aye of
seven years near Old Pohick Church in
that county. At the age of seven he
went to Alexandria where he lived I'M
til 1916 when he came to Staunton and
carried on the shoe business. He is still
an active man with good health, eye
sight and hearing, and there are few
men more beloved in Stanton than the
"bishop" as he is affectionately called,
the impression being that ne has belong
ed to the Methodist church long enough
to entitle him to that official position.
He never tasted liquor but once, and
that was when he was little chap, and
with some other little fellows under
took the contract of making garden"
for a relative. As they had to 90 TO
school in the day, they began to work
by moonlight and fortified themselves
with bottle of whisky, 1t made the
s'bishop" SO sick that he has let it alone
ever since. Mr.. Simpson joined old
Pocahontas Lodge l. O. o. F. at .Alexan-
dria, sixty five years ago; he joined the
Methodist church there sixty.five years
ago, and he joined Staunton Lodge No.

REPORTED CONFESSION.

1t is said that 81. d. Holmes, convict
ed of numbering Benjamin Pitezel, has
prepared confession, giving the de-
tails of his many crimes, which is to be
made public after his death on the gal
lows. 1t is stated that in it he tells how
and why he put to death no less than
twenty men, women and children. He
gives all the facts. He writes as calm
ly and coolly and remorselessly as he
murdered. He neglects no detail, and
gives an account of six murders which
he planned, but was prevented from
carrying out. 1t was said that he put
eleven persons out of the world. When
his confession is printed, there will be
accounts of the violent deaths Of nine
people, whose absence from their homes
and their friends has hitherto been I'M
explained. He describes in detail the
murder of the Williams sisters; of Quin-
Ian, the janitor of the castle, who knew
too much; of Benjamin Pitezel, and OF
the Pitezel children.
