OPPOSE SUNDAY EXCURSIONS
Railroads Running into Omaha Refuse to
Put Unusual Work on Their Employees
in the Shape of Travellers.

Omaha, Neb., June 17.-Western
railroads, which are supposed to look
upon Sunday as like unto other days,
have taken stand against unneces-
sary travelling on the Sabbath day.
They have thwarted the intention of
the Omaha Commercial club to run
excursions from the country on Sun
day, proposing to boom the audito-
rum concerts. The incoming roads
say that the building of a new audi
torium is undoubtedly worthy prof.
ect, but they cannot have their men
working more than necessary on Sun
day. The excursions were planned
over the Burlington, the Union Pa
cific and the Elkhorn. The general
passenger agent of the former road
said: eve will not force our men to
carry excursion trains on Sunday;
they get few enough Sabbaths off as
it is. Such expeditions are in addition
hurtful to the morals of a community.
The auditorium must be built in some
other way"

Get Together.

We do not care a continental from
what source the great reform may
come to benefit and bless humanity,
but some step will be necessary to get
all the reformerS together before any
reforms can be inaugurated, for it
must be evident to any sane man or
woman that so long as reformers are
divided up into dozen little squads,
each fighting for reform to come in it's
particular way, and at the same time
each of the dozen factions practically
fighting for the same thing; that they
are only dividing their forces and per-
mitting the republican party to per-
petuate its reign, thus strengthening
the iron hand of plutocracy that is to-
clay the bane of Christian civilization.
We hope the time is not far in the
distance when all who desire reform,
real reform, may get together into
one strong party, call it what you
may, and stand in one solid phalanx
for the principles our forefathers
fought, bled and died for. Then. not
till then, can the people who pay the
taxes and bear the burden of this
government of ours get relief; but
when this is done, relief will come to
one and all alike.-Stockton Journal.

Charley Scott suggests school
house as the emblem of the republican
party. ut is out of the school houses
of the county," says Scott, "that the
republican party gets its majorities,
and it is they that are the forts and
arsenals of the Republic. :" This talk
about a school house may put the pop
uliSt in mind as starting another
"iSchOol House campaign" and if it
does there won't be grease spot left
of the G. o. p. Don't you remember
the campain of 80, when the lamps
burned in almost every school house
in the state every night of the week?
Do you remember how the $1,000 re-
publican majority was melted away
like frost in July? Guess you fell
lows need another reminder of who is
entitled to the honor of school house
majorities. Don't get too gay, or you

A Sample of Late News.

A certain paper in this city that
once tried to claim that it furnished
all the late news and offered in evil
dence of the same that it had $50
pounds of type, presented very con-
vincing object lesson to its readers
last week. 1t contained two or three
references to the escape Of prisoner
from the sheriff. This escape occurred
about two weeks ago and was recorded
in the HERALD at the time. Further
the prisoner had been recapt1red,
taken to Prairie View, tried and con-
victed two days before our enterpriS-
ing contemporary published the ac-
count of the escape coupled with re-
quest that people be on the lookout to
assist the sheriff in apprehending the
fugitive. This same paper boasts
every week of It's superiority and in
sists that it is not enterprise in the
HERALD to print twice week.

To Bore For Minerals.

Acting after the suggestion of the
Journal a couple of months since a
petition is being circulated among our
people to secure funds to bore for oil,
coal, or gas.
So far as we are informed the mat
ter is receiving very substantial en-
couragement from our people, both
business men and farmers, and if
everything moves off all right it is
proposed to hold meeting in the near
future to select a committee to have
authority to put down hole at least
1,5OO feet, the expense to be paid by
subscription. We are for the upbuild-
ing of Stockton and for that matter,
all of Rocks county, and say let the
good work go on.-Rooks County

Coerclng the Cubans.

The world is witnessing the spec
tacle of the American government
.coercing the Cubans into submission.
When the United States gave assist
ance to the Cubans in the Spanish
American war, it was heralded to the
civilized world that this was a war of
humanity and this government had
no design whatever upon the island.
The action of the government was ap-
proved by all. Thousands of liberty
loving people rushed to the front to
avenge the Maine and give Cuba her
liberty.
Since the close of the war the United
States has kept d standing army on
the island and the CubanS have had a
military government. For months
the Cuban convention has been strug-
Cling for constitution and an indie
pendent government. At last they
were given the Platt amendent as the
only alternative The struggle con-
tinued. The amendment was adopted
with slight changes by close vote of
one majority.
Now the administration announces
it's policy that the amendment must
be adopted without any changes be
fore the government will Withdraw its
troops. It is also beginning to be
topic of common conversation in the
reports that go out from Washington
that the administration does not pro-
pose to give the Cubans their indepen-
dence. It is given out that annex
alton is to come. The war for human
ity now turns out to be another war of
conquest. The republican party will
annex the island, and as soon as it can
be cut up into states they will be adj
mitted into the union. Thus will the
trusts further entrench themselves
and the republican party, the hand
maid of the trusts, perpetuate itself
in power.-Advecate

DIR. phillips at Johnson's Grove.

The sermon and lecture by DIR. Phil
lips of the Kansas Wesleyan uniyer-
sity, last Sunday in Johnson's grove
was attended by a large and attentive
audience. 1t was treat to all lovers
of higher education. DR.. Phillips has
a national reputation as fOrcible
speaker on higher ethics and biology.
His face was familiar to many of our
young men on Spring Creek as he has
given lectures to the students of the
Kansas State Agricultural college of
Manhattan, and being connected with
the university, many knew him there,
and it was like school days to see him
stand once more before them. His
lecture in the afternoon was deciS-
ion to many that college course
was imperative. ''Life is worth living.
With the knowledge of the secrets of
nature at our finger ends to make life
beautiful, we will know how to live
and our influence will be uplifting to
those around us. Let us have college
graduates for blackSmithS, for every
trade and profession in life." The
world will never be over crowded with
college graduates and there is always
room at the top in the gaining of
knowledge. We only wish we were so
situated that we could have more like
DR.. Phillips to come to us quite often
with lectures of his kind. 1t was
day of enjoyment to all who were
there. NJ. H. P.

Pack Peddlers.

Many letters have recently come to
hand on the 'peddler nuisance" the
name oftenest given to the subject.
The peddlers complained of are the
notion, dry goods or trinket sellers
that travel with pack or cart from
house to house. Much complaint is
made of them. They get big prices,
sell inferior goods, deceive and cheat,
insist upon being kept by farmers at
rediculOuSly low rates, to be paid sin
trade" and III most cases the letters
close with cry for relief from law
makers. This is another example Of
the proneness of people to depend too
much upon lawmakers and too little
upon themselves. No one need be
annoyed by a peddlar, more than a
few minutes, at least, nor be deceived
or cheated by one; nor need anyone
entertain such a guest except on the
entertainers own terms. PeddlerS
are patronized or they would not ex-
list. They are evidently welcomed by
many people and patronized, or they
would disappear. Bad as they are
pictured, they evidently please many.
A neighborhood may legislate against
peddlers. Let each neighbor agree
not to patronize one, and live up to
the agreement, and the visits of this
gentry to that neighborhood will soon
be like angels visits, "few and far be-
tween. Farm, Stock and Home.

ANOTHER MURDER
JAMES HOPPER JR. KILLED NEAR
STUTTGART SUNDAY NIGHT.
SLAYER IS IN THE COUNTY JAIL.
George Mccall Shot and Instantly Killed las.
Hopper, jr., at the Resideace of Joseph
Ruckert Sunday Night Where Dance
YVES in Progress.

Last Sunday night word came via
the telephone from Stuttgart asking
DR.. Nelson to come out to the resi-
dence of Joseph Ruckert, who lives
south of Stuttgart few miles. The
doctor drove out, but failed to find
the house. Yesterday morning Uncle
Jimmie Hopper. accompanied by an
other son of his. came to town to
swear out warrant for the arrest of
the perpetrator of the deed.
From him we learned the particu-
lars as far as we know them. 1t ap-
pears that dance was being held at
the residence of Mr. Ruckert Sunday
night, according to the custom of
some of the people of that vicinity;
also that there was one or more kegs
of beer in evidence. Jimmie Hopper
was employed as che of the musicians.
Just as they were about to begin the
dance a young man named George Nc
Call called young Hopper to the door
and without a word deliberately drew
a revolver and fired, striking the lat
ter in the chest. He threw his arms
around the neck Of a bystander for
support, dropped his violin and bow,
then sank to the floor dead.
Another story is to the effect that
the shooting was accidental; that
Hopper, with some other young men.
was standing outside when Mccall
came out and discharged his weapon
in the air three or four times, one of
the balls accidentally striking Hopper.
Mccall was brought to this city last
evening by James CASTILLO and Chas.
Rhoades and delivered to Sheriff Yer
ton, when the warrant was served
charging him with murder in the first
degree.
Coroner Nelson and County Attor-
ney Bissell went up to Stuttgart yes
terday and empanelled a jury COM
posed of Gustave hmm, NJ. J. Wescott,

on top of the bank north of the house.
Myself and George Mccall were stand
ing down in front of the house. Some
body called Jim to come down and
play for the next dance. Mccall jerk
ed his gun, his revolver and shot right
towards Jim four times; Jim staggered
against the corner of the house and
says: I am shot I asked Mccall if
the cartridges were loaded and he said:

Washington, June IA Philippine
mail brings to the war department
the records in II cases wherein Fill
pinos were tried by military commits
sioners on charges including murder,
rape, kidnapping, assault and battery,
burglary and violation of the rules
OF war. An especially notable case
arose out of the operations of a IA
nous oath-bound band of Filipinos
called the society of the 'Sanda-
thans." The principal officers of this
society, next to a triumvirate of
chiefs, are a chief executioner and as
sistants and a requisite number of
grave diggers who participate in the
self-appointed work of the band. The
leaders select their victim, capture
and carry him away in the night to
a secret rendezvous on sandy beach
covered with very tall grass, where
the diggers already have prepared the
grave. Here, in the presence of the
assembled band, helpless men and
women from time to time have been
stabbed to death and tossed into the
graves. The members of the band
then dispense, and trust to the rise
and fall of the nearby waters to hide
the evidence of their CHASTITY work.
Ten members of the band, including
two of the chiefs, were tried before
military committee and eight of
them were sentenced to be hanged.

II have had all the Philippines 1
want" said Mark Thomas recently in
an interview in the Washington Post.
''After twelve months Sojourn over
there, 1 am frank to say that do not
believe it any country for white
man. 1t is rare thing to find an
American that does not wish to get
back to the states as quickly as posi-
BILE. The spirit of discomfort and de-
sire to get away find expression in the
army that has been sent to subjugate
the islands, and the United SteteS
soldier that is satisfied with his lot is
an exception, The climate is bad, in
that whenever man gets sick there
is no bracing or recuperative quality
in the air and recovery to health is
exceedingly slow. My belief is that
the capture of Aguinaldo will not put
an end to our troubles in the Philip
pines; there win be plenty of revolu-
tionary leaders to keep up desultory
warfare, and the chances are that the
fighting will go on for the next ten
wears
