Ex-LegislatOr Convicted.


d. Judson Hammond, who was a
member of the Michigan legislature
in 1899 and who has been under
going trial in the circuit court al
Lansing on the charge of having
solicited bride of $500 in connec.
tion with the antitrust bill which
was before the legislature in that
year, was found guilty by the jury
Wednesday evening. He gave no.
tice of an appeal to the supreme
court and was released on bail.
A. M. LaCourt and James Carey,
of Sagola, were in Iron Mountain
this week. They have been cruising
on the Fence river and report that
the wolves have been playing havoc
with the deer. They say that it was
nothing unusual for them to find
partially devoured carcasses in the
woods and that in two days they
ran across some thirteen such car
cases. In one instance they came
upon q wolf in the act Of tearing a
deer to pieces. The wolves seem to
be more numerous than ever before,
and the $15 bounty paid by the
counties does not seem a sufficient
inducement to lead the hunters to
take up the task OF clearing them
out. Many people advocate raising
the bounty to figure large enough
to attract the sportsmen to this
work.

Stabbed to Death.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, just at
dusk, w. T. Finley, we'll known colored
man, was stabbed and killed by Como
dors P. Huff, white msn. Tho cause
of the killing grew out Of a family quar-
rel in which it seems. from one of the
stories, Mrs. Finley was to blame. 1t
appears that a baby was born recently
in the Huff family, and Mrs. Finley, the
wife Of the colored man who was
enter tho home OF Mrs. Huff and admin
lister a rebuke to the Hutfs for having so
many children. The import Of the re-
marks by the colored woman were to the
effect that it WAS a shame that the Huffs
had 30 many children; that they were too
poor to have children. The reply of
Mrs. HUFF was to the effect that che
thought God alone was able to take care
OF that matter, and when He thought
they had reached the limit in children
which He would have them have, that
there would be no more. The colored
woman, who became abusive after she
WAS told this. was also told that she
should attend to her own business and
get out of the house. This angered her
and she was told to leave, and whom Huff
returned home he was told of the inter.
ference OF their colored neighbors.
When Mrs. Finley again entered the
house she was told in no uncertain
words that she was not wanted there
and was ordered cut.
She said, in reply. that when Finley,
her husband and the man who was shot,
returned he would settle with Huff.
Huff, who has been working the Steele
coal mine, returned home at dark
Thanksgiving eve. The fret thing any
one knew OF the matter there was tight
ing going on in Huff's barn. Mrs. Huff
rushed out and tried to separate the
men, Sne could not do go. Huff cried
out, 80 it is said, to tho colored man that
he had had enough. Finley was en-
ragged and would not stop. and 30 it is
said that Huff in self defense pulled his
knife and stabbed Finley.
Finley reached the house without as
sista nee and DR.. Henderson was at once
called. He was mortally stabbed. He
lived but eighteen minutes after the
battle il HuEs barn BE made no
statement after being stabbed.
The man killed seems to have borne
an excellent repu tation. He has worked
for the ditch company for the past three
years and the people who knew him say
he was q most excellent workman. He
was OF an inoffensive disposition. Those
who know him we'll cannot realise that
he would be engaged in such an ARRAY
OF his own volition. great many peo-
pie seem to think that he was urged on
to administer punishment to Huff. by
his wife
Huff, the man who did the killing, al
so bears a most excellent reputation.
he is a hard working man and is relia-
BILE in every particular.
Immediately after the killing HUI was
arrested and placed in Jail by Sheriff
Wallis.

AIexander's Ball.

The Thanksgiving ball given by Alex
drew together q very large crowd Of
dance e-loving people. They all expected
a good time and they were not disap
pointed. the music was fine, the floor
in excellent condition and the folks pres
ent just dying to fall into each Others
arms Tor twirl around the room. Al.
ter listening to several selections fll
nished by the orchestra, the grand marc h
was formed. This. under the leadership
Of Will Struthers. made some pretty and
intricate figures. The dancing proper
opened with lively waltz. From that
down to the "wee sma'" hours. it was
one long, continuous round of pleasure
for every body.

Citizens Band Ball.

The ball given under the auspices OF
the Citizens band, THANKSGIVING eve,
was a'delightful affair throughout The
concert preceding the dance was espe-
cially enjoyable, ss the band never play
ed in better form. The rendition of that
very beautiful and hard number "Poet
and Peasant" was one Of the delights OF
the evening. Alexander Struthers and
Mrs. Struthers led the grand march,
In this only about half OF the dancers
could participate, there being no more
room. The affair was q success socially
and financially.

Located at Last.

About six weeks ago s. L. Mahsffey
came to this city with his family and
purchased the @. A. Arnett residence in
Crawford addition. and began the work
of establishing permanent homo.
This morning Marshal Allison went to
the little cottage and placed Mr.. Mahaf-
fey under arrest, charged with theft, and
turned him over to Sheriff Taylor of
Montrose county, who was waiting here
to receive him.
The facts OF the case seem to be that
Maha6ey had been living on a rented
farm in Montrose county. About a
year ago he took his family and went to
California, taking with him, 80 it is said
a wagon. harness and other articles be.
longing to the owner OF the farm. Since
then. until the present time, no trace
could be found of Mahaffey. The lat
ter said TO Marshal Allison that be WAS

of the future is to be, it must come
out of human life and experience.
We don't need the gods Of the. skies
We shall never find anything that is
actually true by gazing at the sky.
For whatever there is that is true on
this earth is to be found in the one
next to you and in your own life. All
there is in the universe, the supreme
glory Of expression, you can find in the
tenement house if you will go and look
for it.
Truth is state of mind. If there
be what we call heaven, it would
not be place, it would be state of
mind. 1t is just dawning upon man
kind that we may in time become mas
tiers of our state of mind-which in
times past have been forced upon us.
Today we have no preaching, we
have no performances; We have word
mongering. The whole teaching of re-
ligion is to prevent men from seeing
anything for themselves, or to make
them fearful If they do see anything
for themselves. Human life has never
been as bad as its theology and polit-
ical economy.
IF a thousandth part of the energy
that has gone into squabblings over
unknowable things mad words had
been devoted to making a good world
here, world of friends, we should
have had on this earth centuries ago
heaven SURPRISING the widest OF
dreams"

OLD IOWA PAPER SOLD.
Van Meter, of Grove Fame, Sells the
Tribune.

Waterloo, May 8. Especial --IVan
Meter, editor of the Weekly Tribune,
has sold his paper to The Times Pub
fishing Co. The sale wipes out of ex-
istence one of the oldest and best
known democratic papers in this part
of the state. Mr.. Van Meter is one
of the oldest newspaper men in the
west. He has welded a pencil since
1861, only stopping when he entered
the service of the government as a SOL
der during the civil war. In tie 70s
he came to Cedar Falls and founded
the Weekly Record in partnership with
H. c. Shaver, who was at one time ed
itor Of the Des Moines Leader.
The Record was moved to Waterloo
in 1879 and the name changed to the
Tribune. In this venture was associ-
ated with him, j. H. Wilson, now in
the office of the st. Paul Globe.
Mr.. Van Meter was the man who
first mentioned the name of Horace
Boise for governor. He stuck to his
suggestion and made such good fight
for his man that at the convention at
Sioux City he was placed at the head
OF the ticket without opposition and
was elected as the first democratic
governor since the war. In 1896 Mr..
Van Meter bolted from the free silver
issue of his party and supported Palm
er and Buckner At the last campaign
however, he again whirled into line
and supported Bryan and his silver.
2 Mr.. Van Meter will go to Oklahoma
for time and when the government
land is opened up will take up a sol
ifier's claim.
The Times will be merged with a

SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN STATES

VIM. ]. Bryan has sounded the note
of warning on the action of Senator
McLaurin, of South Carolina Mr..
Bryan does not seem to fear McLaur-
in personally, but declares that Some
leader will arise to give direction and
force to the aristocratic and plutocra-
tic element for which McLaurin
speaks" 1t is certain that there has
never heretofore been so dangerous a
revolt against the dominant party in
the south as is now manifested in the
McLaurin movement. Heretofore the
attempts TO build up republican
party in the south were based upon
negro majorities and shrewd manage
ment. This eliminated the better ell
ement of the south from such reform
movements; but now since all the
questions arising from the civil war
have been practically settled, a new
generation has taken the place of fos-
sils and there is no more reason why
South Carolina may not be republi.
can than that Illinois or Indiana
should be republican.

hands and don "clean white suits used

cadia were less delicate. Milk goes
to the milkroom, where it is poured
into centrifugal cream separator run
by power borrowed from the trolley.
Touch the lever and the motor does
the rest. Presto! There is your
cream in the cans and there is your
warm skim milk for calf and pig. You
hook the cans to wire carrier which
sends them by force of gravity" to
the trolley platform. All, dreamers
of milky herds, did you ever think OF
getting gravity to move your cans?

each COW to have fresh water all the

delivery of mail, except on Sundays,
and the carrier sells stamps and mon
ey orders, takes letters and packages
and does errands. Here is the country

boys and girls are contented and stick
to the farm. They would be lunatics
to do otherwise.
Mr.. Andrews calls Mr.. Russell "the
most independent man in the world"
One of the longest-headed of men, too.

it was beer he said he was sure that
it was because he imbibed it. The de-
