among the army officers at San Fran
cisco, as has been intimated in CON

been stolen. Gen. Skaters opinion
is that soldiers passing in and out Of
the port, over 1000 in number, sold
the goods to dealers. II one man in

Minister Loomis, whose experience
in Caracas, Venezuela. was very I'M
pleasant, has not been reproved by
the United States government, al
though the Caracas papers are publish
ing what purport to be authoritative
statements that he was reproyed. A
dispatch from Washington states:
Instead of reproving Minister
LOOMS, the state department has ap-
proved all his acts. He acted under
instructions while in Venezuela and
carried out these instructions and no
evidence has been discovered that he
deviated from them in a single in
stance. After his entire conduct had
been carefully reviewed and examined
the mos. complete satisfaction was ex-
pressed as TO his course.

MEETING
HELD FRIDAY.
Farmers Telephone Company's Represen
tatiVeS Assemble at BectOWn to
Transact Business
Matters of Importance Considered.

Representatives of the Farmers
Telephone company gathered at Bee
town Friday, called for the pur
pose of transactlng business for the
year. David Schreiner of this city
was in attendance, delegated to look
after the interests of Lancaster con-
stituents and was chosen chairman
of the meeting. A number of mat
ters came up for consideration, the
most important being IA radical change
in constitution and bylaws. Instead
of director being chosen for each
subdivision as formerly the newly
adopted plan calls for an election Of
a director from each central office.
There are seven of these and it there
fore called for selection of as many di-
rectors. They were named as follows:
David Schreiner, Lancaster; NARROW
Kidd, Glen Haven; Philip Roesch, Po-
tosi; Griffin Hickok, Bloomington;
VIM. Toennessen, Cassville; w. V.
Mink, Burton; w. w. Ward, Hurri-
cane.
The above named directors are to
meet at Lancaster Saturday of this
week to chose their officers, consist
ing OF a president, secretary and
treasurer.
a motion was brought up to do
away with switching fees, an assess
ment upon each stakeholder to be
made instead as means of defraying
expense current to maintenance OF
the system, but this met defeat.
Clear lines are to be maintained for
commercial service between towns on
the various lines and are not to be
tapped between stations for patrons.
This is an opportune move and will
meet with appreciation from business
patrons of the Farmers line who do
not wish TO be interrupted in CONVEX
sation by ordinary gossip. a sub
scriber having already one share in
the institution who desires to put in
an additional phone at his own ex-
pense may have use Of central con-
necl.ons ut flat rate Of 81 per year
hereafter, while heretofore 1t was
necessary for him to purchase and
possess an additional share for each
additional phone used.
The best of harmony characterized
the session and the same prevails be-
tween the Farmers company and like
organizations with whom courtesy is
exchanged in using each others lines.
A most prosperous year is before it.

Hicks Predictions for March.

The 1st and 2nd of March colder
and clearing in the western extremes
of the country. A storm area which
81 have crossed the country from
the west to east, during the latter
part OF February, will be central over
the Mississippi valley and Atlantic
coast region on the st and 2nd. The
higher barometer and sharp change
to colder following these storms will
rapidly subside on the approach of
the 9TH and from the 9th to 9TH de-
cided storm conditions will return.
Within IS hours of O'Clock p. m. on
the 9TH no one should be surprised
by the appearance of tropical storms,
with possible hurricanes to the south,
with counterpart of great boreal
storm of rain, wind and snow from
the northwest. The full moon on the
celestial equator on the 9th and the
day following is a time to be very
much matched for dangerous storms
on land and sea. Lightning ald
thunder will visit most sections dur
ing the first stages of the perturba-
lions, but blizzard will likely come
from the northwest about the 9th and
9TH. From the 9th to the 18th is a
regular storm period-the time when
an annual crisis is to be expected in
the earth's electrical and magnetic
currents. From the 10th to the 18th
will constitute reactionary storm
period, with unsettled and unpleas-
ant weather. Rev. Hicks believes
that from the 10Th to the path will be
the greatest storm period Of 4 g
month. The last storm period will
run from the goth to the 29th. March
will close with fair and cool weather.

SUICIDE AT
SITTER.
George Smith Shoots Himself IN the Head
With Revolver at $50 Wednesday
Morning
No Motive Assigned far the Rash Deed.

Residents of our neighboring vii
lage of Sitter were shocked beyond
expression this "wednesday morning
when the announcement was made
that George Smith of that place had
committed suicide by shooting him
self in the head
The act was done at $3.50 and the
victim fingered in life until 1915
when death resulted.
Mr.. Smith was one of the well-to-
do citizens of the town, a man of
middle age and the cause of such an
act can be attributed only to despond
ency. His family consists of wife
only. One child, daughter, died q
few years ago at the age of eleven,
and i'll her his very soul seemed cen
tered. Her demise seemed to have
removed the very sunshine of his life
and it is said that he had never fully
recovered from the shock incident TO
her death. Friends and relatives be-
lieye the dependency thus caused to
have been the only motive for his act
of self destruction.
Smith borrowed the weapon with
which he killed himself but short
time previous to committing the
deed, stating that he wished to kill
bothersome cat. He proceeded to his
home and without ceremony shot
himself through the head
A deal was consummated last week
between Smith and Jos. Griswold
whereby the latter traded his farm
with Smith in exchange for his vii
lage property and the operation Of
moving had just commenced.
The shock to relatives and friends
is severe. Two sisters and three
brothers survive.
