The Seven Day Advents have been
holding meetings for the past several
weeks at the Central View school house
and last week Mrs. Carrie Nation gave
notice to the evangelists in charge,
Revs. Thorn and Lear, that she would
be at the school house on Sunday to
show them the 'evil of their ways"
Mrs. Nation filled her appointment
as promised and In the course of her
sermon she was frequently interrupted
by interrogatories from the eYangelists
and those who attended say that the
biblical discussion which followed was
very interesting. On Sunday night the
advent ministers took the pulpit and
Mrs. Nation remained and in turn pro-
pounded lnterrogatories. AS in all
such cases public opinion is divided in
proportion as the advents are to the
opposite faith IN number-the advents
maintaining that the eyangelists pre-
sented the better argument and the
other faction insisting that Mrs. Ma
ton literally skinned her opponents.
Not having heard the argument, we
are unable to venture an individual
opinion.

Gus. Hadwigper. formerly a citizen

Gus. Hadwigger, formerly citizen of
Harper county, but now deputy sheriff
of Woods county, o. T., shot and killed
one JEFF Coates at Curtis, .. T., on the
10th inst. while attempting to make an
arrest. Coates was wanted in Texas
aud the officer in that state instructed
Hadwigger to bring the man dead or
alive. Those who know Hadwigger
say that he is man of nerve ana de-
termination and generally gets what he
goes after. It is also said that Coates
was dangerous character and that an
officer In pursuit of him is in danger
Gus position. The friends Of Coates,
however, toll different story. They
say that Coates was under arrest for
disposing of mortgaged property which
he did unlntentIonally through some
misunderstanding and that he simply
left his home county in search Of en-
ployment to obtain funds to get him
out Of the difficulty; that Coates was q
good and inoffensive citizen and was
brutally killed without provocation by
the officer. At this distance a correct
conclusion can hardly be formed, but
general appearances are in favor OF the
officer. One thing is sure, Mr.. Coates
refused to give himself up and Deputy
Sheriff Hadwigger would have shirked
his duty had he failed to make the ar
rest. The deputy sheriff is under ar
rest and had his preliminary hearing
at Woodward last Saturday, the result
of which we have not heard.

Mrs. Anna Hahn has resigned her
position as teacher in the Sharon
school. The reason for her resignation
was because of the work being quite
difficult, having all grades to teach in
one room and several higher branches,
being too much for her physical
strength. Mrs. Hahn is an excellent
teacher and the board and patrons are
well satisfied with her and regret that
she is compelled to resign her place.

The farmers, generally Throughout the
county are holding their corn for better
prices and letting the taxes take care
of themselves. They figure that they
can well afford to pay the penalty on
taxes if they can make from 10 to II
cents per bushel by holding their corn
and they are sure that they cannot sell
at present prices and pay the expense
of marketing and taxes; so that they
have nothing to lose by not selling.

The Venezuela Commission Gets a

braska Talks About Wharf.-The
Troubles Concerning Turkey, Etc.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Her
aids cable dispatch from Caraca;
says: A cable dIspstch which was re
ceived here today says that Spain has
refused to show archives relating tc
the boundary question in Venezuels
to the commission appointed by Presi
dent Cleveland. 1t is also stated that
the Spanish government will refuse
to recognize the validity of the com
mission.
The Worlds Caracas cable says:
The enrolment of militia continues
active. Sixteen thousand men have
been enlisted to date in Caracas alone,
which has a population of 10000.
Other cities are equally patriotic and
report proportionate enlistmeDts.
Much excitement has been caused
by the news that Spain will refuse to
allow the American commission ac-
cess to the archives in her possession
bearing on the boundary dispute. 1t
is believed Spain fears England's dis
pleasure.
Another dispatch to the World
states that Germany will demand
immediate payment of the railroad
debt. II is reported that the German
squadron, now at Havana, will en-
force the demand.
