place where everybody seems so much
interested in the weather. One day l

these bulletins In my lap. l have seen
weather bulletins tied TO the wire pro-
tections which are around all the trees
in Washington. They hang over the
box Office windows Of the theaters, in
the doors Of the stores and, Of course,

them in every elevator and have seen
them in the street cars. In most cities

contest will terminate, as the piano con
test did, by our running our press at the

person. For the benefit of the public
and in justice to this Office, as we'll as to
Mr. Moys, we wish it distinctly under
stood that only legitimate ads cut from
actual copies of the Camera or Herald
will be counted. All who wish to vote
will please take what ads they have to

His story is that he lay in wait for

jumped from the side of the road to the
horses head end commanded her TO get
out of the buggy. She was very much
frightened and obeyed him He then
wound the relns around the whip stock
and threw her hat, which had fallen of,
into the buggy. The horse he started
home, as be feared suspicion might be
aroused if he we're left standing alone IN
the road. He then took her 10 where
her body Was found and ravished her.
"rhe girl was pretty badly frightened
all the time, but when she realized the
evil intent of the negro she made stout
resistance. Then it was that Porter used
his knife with murderous effect. He
denied having stamped on her skull, but
admitted kicking her several times IN
The side. after the deed was done, he
went back to the car which was about a
mile and half away.
1--WE questioned him closely about the
girls clothing, and he answered correctly
in evey detail. The poeke.book which
was missing he said she took from un-
der the cushion OF the seat as she was
getting out of the buggy. He took il
from her and later threw it in the lava

TEMPERANCE SERMON.
BY William Allen White, Of
EmporIa.

the Gazette office from town in
Arizona. 1t told of the death of a
man who, ten years ago. was
prominent in this part Of Kansas.
He lived in a neighbcrihg but not
adjoining county. He was law
yer by trade and good one. He
went to good college just before
the war and his mental equipment
was of the best. He came to this
part Of the world in 1857. He was
a young man then and like most
young men he enjoyed good
time. Like most young men he
took little something to take and
started in to practice law. He
did well. He made money easily
and spent it handsomely, as most
boys do before they are %. He
married the prettiest girl in town.
But he liked a good time and
stayed out many nights when the
other young fellows OF his age
were at home toasting their shins.
SO he took mp with a younger set
and kept on having a good time.
Now don't understand that he was
the Town Drunkard. He wasn't.
He was just a good fellow and as
that was before the days of pro-
hibition, he used to like to
"shake" the fellows for drink.
Once he and lotof other young
fellows got drunk. turned over
half the board sidewalks in town
and painted lot Of signs on the
walls that made the whole town
laugh. The second set of young
men outgrew him and began to
rock cradles and his wife began TO
wear the old brown alpaca the
third winter Still his practice
was good. He became a criminal
lawyer and his reputation for elo-
'quence extended from Wichita to |
the Missouri line. When he went
into the country to try case the
fellows-and you know what sort
the fellows are--knew that while
he was in town they would have a
good time, and the dining room
girls at the hotels where be went,
used to giggle about the awful
things he said to them.
The young men with whom he
started out in the sixties began TO
get on in the world. Most of
them owned the houses they lived
in. Some we're buying real estate
for speculation; one was running
Tor county attorney; another was
starting bank. But the good
fellow went TO the legislature and
had a good time and the people
wondered how his wife stood it.

every year that the next year he
would settle down. But Mr.. Good
fellow continued to soak up a
little oAce in while-not much,
but little. He was never drunk
In public, but there were mornings
when his Office smelled bad. The
young fellows found him stupid
and the men of his own age were
busy with their own affairs snd he
had no one to loaf with. He. de-
cided several times to brace up
