If C. Powers was guilty of the
assassination of VIM. Goebel why
did not the jury impose a death
sentence instead of life imprison-
ment? 1t looks as though the
trial judge and jury knew that
Powers had not had a fair trial and
they did not dare to go any furth-
er than to impose life imprison-
ment. During the trial of this
Kentucky man it was shown that
Gocbel had shot a prominent citi-
zen down in cold blood a few
years previous to his own death
and that the relatives of the MUIR
dcred mar had sworn revenge on
Gocbel. Powers may have been
guilty but there was no evidence
produced to convince an unbiased
person that such was the fact.

The past week has been a sue
cession of storms. 1t rained
nearly every night the first of the
week, some of the showers being
accompanied by quite an electri-
cal display. The Sunday night
storm was accompanied by a
strong wind, which appeared to
gain velocity as it proceeded east,
some damage being reported from
localities in the eastern part of
Stark county and the western
part of Morton. The Monday
night rain was the heaviest down
pour that has been witnessed at
Dickinson during the season.
Nearly an inch of water fell in a
very few minutes. The ground
is now thoroughly soaked and the
farmers can pillow their land and
get ready for the seeding of
another spring. Grass is growing
on the prairie as nicely as it was
in May or June. The prairie
which was burned over last month
is now covered with new grass,
on which the cattle are eager tc
Craze. Just what effect this late
growth of grass will have on the
winter grazing is a little uncertain,
, but should this section get the
usual dry weather the coming
month and the frost hold off until
the last of the month, the grass
will have abundant opportunity
to cure, and there should be the
usual good grazing. There shoulc
be no lack of water this fall ano
the coming winter, as the streams
and springs are already we'll sup
piled. All together the outlook
for stockmen is very much brighter
than what it was a few weeks ago

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have SO much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Other Side.

EDITOR PRESS: In a recent is
sue of the PRESS there was an item
very appropriately headed,"A Lit
tie Spite Work." purporting to
have been furnished by ]. M. Car,
roll. Mr.. Carroll may have been
used to vent the small spite of a
party who did not sign the item.
Mr.. Carroll had no cause of COM
plant in the matter, as a simple
statement of the facts will show.
On October d, 1897, he bought
a house and lot for his OWL use a;
a home. AS part Of the purchase
price he gave his promissory note
for $3.50, bearing ten per cent i'll
tcrest, payable October q, 1898.
secured by a mortgage OH the said
property. The former owner of
that property and owner of
said note and mortgage re
moved from this state, relying
upon payment of said note at ma
turity. The note was placed with
the First National bank here for
collection, and awaited the con-
venicnce of Mr.. Carroll from o.
tober d, 1898. till January 9, 1899.
at which last date l received it and
the mortgage with instructions to
enforce collection. MI. Carroll,
from time to time, promised pay
ment and to accommodate him.
and against the wishes of my
client, | held off foreclosure. l
presume, like many other business
men, he could not always meet his
obligations as he wished, still the
other party needed the money
and had made arrangements rely
ing upon it.
In June, 1899, he made a propo-
sition that if my client would for
bear he would pay at the rate of
SIS per month till all was paid.
l submitted the proposition to my
client and it was accepted. Un-
der that arrangement, on July H.,
1899, he made one payment but
no more until final settlement this
month, after foreclosure proceed
ings had commenced. l had
warned him time and time again
that my client would submit to no
more delay and he had the notice
of foreclosure sale stopped by my
written order to the printer to set
the notice out when Carroll set
tied with him for the number of
times the notice had been pub.
llseed, and aside from what he
paid, or undertook to pay the
printer, Mr.. Carroll was asked to
pay, and only paid, the amount
actually due on his note as calcu-
lated at our request by Mr.. Hill
lard.
The difference between the
amount he paid and the amount
which was claimed in the notice
would be due on the day of the
sale (provided it had gone on)
was just about halt what Mr.. Car
roll states in his item, ard was
made up of printers fees, sheriff.
fees, interest and all proper and
legal costs, including an attorney
fee of S25-and that last item
could have properly and legally
exacted by the terms of the mort
gage, the foreclosure proceedings
having been under way, but l did
not.
AS to ice bills or any other
proper bills against me, they will
have my earnest attention, and to
comfort him let me say that al.
though quite poor l am not exc.
cution proof.

can Expansion" Hawaii would
not have become a part of the

a part of the Union, a Hawaiian
delegate-at-large would not have
sat in the democratic convention

the vote of this Hawaiian member

despite the telephone orders from
Lincoln; if this plank had been
beaten, Bryan, according to his

fact that he himself is a derivitive
