KEEP YOUR STOCK.

Stoekmen and farmers who are rush.
ing of their stock on low market are
making q mistake. Barber county will
have plenty of feed to winter her stock
through. We have seen and talked
with farmers from different portions of
the county during the past week and
in every instance they say that there
will be an abundance Of roughness and
some grain. Farmers who have no
stock and considerable roughness now
fear that there will BIZ no demand for
feed on account Of scarcity of stock.
Many have shipped and more are con-
templsting doing SO. One man last
week sold steers for $23 which he
bought IN the spring for $25. This Is
not profitable and could be avoided.
Do not sell your stock ct sacrifice.
There will be plenty of feed and some
to spare.

ditious Article.
New York, Oct. 15.-Johann Most,
the anarchist, was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary in the court
Of special sessions, for publishing in
hts newspaper, The Freiheit, an al.
legged seditious article on the day fol-
lowing the shooting of the late Pres
ident Mckinley. The article In ques'
tion was entitled Murder Against
Murder" In his defense Most claimed
that the paper containing the article
was printed and ready for distribu-
ton before the president was shot
Also that 1t was quotation from an
article published SO years ago and re-
published by him 15 years ago. After
imposing the sentence Justice Hins'
dale read the opinion Of the court, in
which he said:
"It is no answer to the evil and
criminal nature of this article to claim
that 1t was written for the purpose Of
destroying crowned heads. It incul-
Gates and reforces the idea that muir
der is the proper remedy to be applied
against rulers. The fact that 1t was
published so years ago and repub-
lished about l5 years ago only empha-
sizes and gives added point to the
criminality of republishing it at any
time. 1t shows deliberate intent to
inculcate and promulgate the doc
trines of the article. This we hold to
be criminal act. It is not necessary
to trace any connection in this article
with the assassination of the late
president. The offense here, in the
eyes of the law, is precisely the same
as If the bloody event had never oc-
Cured. The murder of the president
only serves to- illustrate and illumi.

defendant in teaching his diabolical
