AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.
Rev. c. L. Browning Requests Aid
tor Willie f1aIseII College.

An able discourse on "Educa-
ton" was the forceful introduction
to an eloquent plea by the Rev.
G. j.. Browning at the Methodist
church yesterday morning, for
financial assistance TO promote the
work OF the Willie Halsell college.
Taking as his text Proverbs
Alb: Take hold of instruction;
let her not go; keep her; for she is
thy life" He advocated in a
masterful manner the necessity of
religious instruction and Christian
environment TO produce the
finished education.
While paying eloquent tribute
to the limited efficiency Of the
system of public instruction, and
the ADVANCED teachings OF the
great universities, he attacked
their deficiency in moulding the
moral nature of the student.
In referring to the Willie Hal
sell college as an ideal institution
where the student while finishing
his secular studies, is surrounded
by the helpful influence OF Chris
tian environment, he said in part:
"The value of Willie Halsell
college cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents. Its value is
found in the influence it exerts on
local and national life.
Though it brings more money to
Vinita than any other institution,
and from a purely mercenary
standpoint. is the most profitable
institution in the city, yet it's
great value is found in the noble
characters that are developed un-
der the guidance of her Christian
instructors.
After referring to the Inadequate
accommodations of the college
building an earnest appeal was
made for assistance to enlarge its
scope.

Though the tragedy Of Saturday
evening cast a pail over the Band

donment of the musical features,
yet from a financial standpoint, it
was an unqualified success. About

been kindly donated by the ladies
of the town, which will aid mater

YELLED IN MYSTERY.
Bullet Through his Head-Suicide
The Generally Accepted The
- ory. Though no Motive is
Found for Sci f-Destruc-
tion.

Just at the beginning of the
band concert on the streets Satur-
day evening, and before the echo
of the 6rst number had died away,
the shocking information was
given out that Jim Berry, one of
the proprietors of the Silver Moon
Restaurant, and one of the best
known citizens of Vinita, was in a
dying condition in his room in the
Patton building. About S o'clock
Mrs. Berry. the wife OF the de-
ceased. went to the room and
found her husband where he had
fallen 10 the floor weltering in
blood. with 3S calibre revolver
lying near. A bullet bad plowed
its way through his brain, entering
the right side Of the head back OF
the temple and coming out on the
left side higher up, at an angle.
A battered bullet was lying on the
floor in the corner Of the room,
and freshly exploded shell in
the revolver told the tragic story.
There is bare possibility that
the shooting might have been ac-
cidental but there is little TO sup
port such conclusion. The more
apparent and reasonable theory
being that the deceased standing
before dresser and facing the
mirror, had held the weapon to
his temple with the righS hsn5
and fired. The position q the
body when it had fallen, the angle
ofthe bullet hole in the head. and
the battered ball on the floor, all
bear out this conclusion.
As to the cause Of the act there
seems to be none known to the
living. No motive can be as
signed or reason given for Jun
Berry taxing his own life. and if
he did do il he left no line of ex-
PLANTATION, or even indicated by
his cond0ct any such intentions.
He was happily situated, and bad
no embarrassments, financial or
other that could account for the
deplorable act. Lighthearted and
jovial in disposition be was about
the last person one would select
of all the men in Vinita to COM
NIT so rash an act.
The deceased was forty years
old. and leaves wife and no
children. He was everybodyis
friend, kind and generous TO a
fault. His place was headquarters
for a circle of haligrown boys who
found an attraction in bis compan-
iionship. whether on q fishing ex-
cursion, or hunt or about his rod
tine Of daily business.
To the grief stricken wife the
sympathy Of all is tenderly ex-
tended. The dark day Of her sor-
row appeals to the whole commun-
ity, and the pathos OF her sore
bereavement touches the heart
and moistsns the eye of every one.

and it was impossible to find anyone
who would admit that he was much
frightened. Even Frank and Bert
when others laughed at them for max
ing such fuss because couple of
friendly Indians wanted to give them
squirrel, maintained that "they were
not very much scared.'
The events narrated occurred more
than third of a century ago; many of
the actors in the scenes related have
crossed the portals into another exist
ence where fear of savage Indians never
enters; others yet living will recall the
events set forth
The Indians are still on their lands
and have ever since lived quiet peaceful
lives, never in any way giving their
white brothers any cause for alarm, or
the Great Father at Washington any
unnecessary trouble. They still retain,
to large extent, the ways and habits
of their ancestors but engage in farming
and stock raising to limited extent.
Recently the government has estab-
lished All Indian school at Toledo which
is supplied with large modern build
ing and all the appliances of a first-class
institution Of learning. Considerable
interest is shown by the younger gener-
alton in their pursuit after knowledge
and it is thought by the government
authorities that this civilizing influence
will work great good among it's semi
savage wards.

PUSHING MIR. BRYAN'S PRINCIPLES.

Whenever the Washington Post prints
a cartoon it is pretty certain to be one
that is worth it's space. Its latest H.
lustration of Mr.. Bryan's declaration
that "the principles I represent will be
vigorously pushed" is the best that has
illuminated it's pages for weeks past.
1t represents Miss Democracy standing
on chair by an open closet door, vigor-
ously pushing bundle labeled" Bryans
Principles" into the remOtest corner of
the top shelf. Mr.. Bryan himself is
peeping around the door just in time to
get view of the operation. The POSTS
idea of the pushing process may differ a
little from Mr.. Bryan's, but it strikingly
sustains his declaration that his princi-
pies will be vigorously pushed"
Another and more practical illus
tration of how Mr.. Bryan's principles
are being vigorously pushed occurred in
Boston last week., when the Massachu-
setts democracy, after lengthy con-
ference, decided to throw the free silver
issue overheard, and did SO without
much ceremony. They then arranged to
hold state convention in October and
start out OH new lines. 1t is said that
since the decision to eliminate the free
silver issue from the state platform, Mr..
Richard Olney has consented to preside
as chairman Of the state convention and
use his influence in getting the Mas
sachusetts democracy in shape again.
This action of the Massachusetts, demo-
Gratis in dumping free silver into Boston
harbor may not stir the country as did
the throwing overheard of the tea issue
on previous occasion, but the same
spirit of determination to get rid of an
article that has brought trouble to the
country was manifested in it.-Charlotte
IN. o. Observer.

then place picket guard around the
town to give the alarm in case of at
tack. A huge bonfire was built in the
courthouse yard and bell rung to call
the people together. When all had as
sembled and the picket line had been
thrown out it was thought best to get
the opinion of all present as to what
had best be done to insure the safety
of those present.
Squire Garvin mounted dry goods
box and made speech trying to quiet
the fears of the townspeople. He
argued that "as the Indians had not
likely that they would do so at ALL" and
also that lit might all be mistake and
no attack was intended" This had
soothing effect upon the more timid
ones, although it was plainly to be seen
that the Squire was badly frightened.
This was followed by all address by
Lawyer Slocum, who loudly denounced
all Indians in general and the Musqua-
kies in particular. AS he grew more
eloquent he seemed to desire conflict
and exclaimed eloquently that ''the
brave and patriotic spirit of true Ameri-
can citizens burned in the bosoms Of all
present. and that "when fighting for
their homes and lives the victory was
sure to be theirs" This brilliant burst
of oratory had good effect, and some
of the Drawer ones even ventured a
timid cheer.
Nancy Perkins, the old maid of the
village, declared that she was not
afraid "Just let them come" she
cried "I'm going home and put on
boiler of water and have it hot, and if
all Indian shows his head in my house
he will get a warm reception" She de-
nounced the government roundly for
sending all the men away to war when
"they were wanted so much at home. ,"
This caused considerable merriment
among the young people, badly fright
ened as they were, and some of
the boys laughed outright.
Rev. Goodhue suggested that the boys
who saw the Indians be recalled and
questioned. So Frank and Bert were
brought before Lawyer Slocum and put
through a severe examination, but the
excitement made their story if anything
more alarming than when first told.
AS it was now past midnight, it was
decided that if an attack were intended
it would soon be made. So the only
thing to do was to wait and be ready.
All sorts Of weapons were to be seen,
guns, pistols, axes knives and pitchforks
were hastily gathered together.
Many now went home and darlened

Thus the long night wore away and
the first streak of gray announced the
dawn of approaching day. 1t was now
decided that as there had been no at
tack made during the darkness of the
night there would be no disturbance be-
fore the next night, and probably not at
ALL
A committee of three was chosen to
mount horses and venture cautiously in
the direction of the Indian village.
Early on that spring morning Silas Holt,
John Cooper and Alexander Anderson
rode silently away not knowing whether
they would live to return or not. AS
they passed along not living thing was
to be seen except few birds twittering
their early morning songs in the tree
tops and a couple of red squirrels chat
tering saucily on branch by the road
side, little thinking that one of their
kind had caused all this trouble and
alarm. A log cottage now appeared
around bend in the road the first that
they had seen since leaving town. The
farmer was just going to the stable with
his milk pail on his arm, all uncon-
scious of the danger through which he
had slept When told Of the excite
ment in town he was nearly as much
alarmed as the rest had been. AS other
houses were reached and it was found
that no one had been molested, their
courage arose and they rode on with
less fear than at first. At last the
tepees of the Indian village came into
view. Smoke was issuing from the
group of rude wigwams as breakfast
was being prepared by the squaws, while
the male population leisurely cared for
their ponies or sat around and smoked.
When they saw the white men ap-
preaching the Indians were nearly as
much frightened as the people of the
village were the night before, for they
thought the pale-faces were offended at
something and that the Great Father in
Washington was going to send them
away from their lands. When the
chief had heard the story that the boys
had told, he called the Indians together
and questioned them. Two of them
promptly stepped forward and ex-
planned the whole matter. They said
that they were lying under tree rest
ing when they heard the report of a gun
and a squirrel dropped at their feet
from the branches above them. They
jumped up and seeing the boys, picked
up the squirrel and started to carry it
to them. AS the boys began to run they
ran also to overtake them and give
them their game. When they
suddenly disappeared around the hill,
the Indians gave up the chase and re-

WOMAN FARMER.

Mrs. Eva Robertson, editor of the
household department of the Farmer, of
this city, was in Hutchinson, Mimi, re-
Gently, and in the last issue says:
In these days of the new woman
we do sometimes hear of women farmers
who are holding their own fairly well
as compared with the men But when
we asked for 'the best farmer in Mcleod
county, it was something of a surprise
to be directed to Mrs. Louisa Cooke a
few miles from town. When we heard
she could run sulky pfow, or a binder
ana handle any horse that came along,
we naturally pictured her as being rather
of the Amazenian type. But we were
delightfully."- disappointed when she proved
to be as thoroughly feminine and charm
ing woman as we ever met. A visit to
Fairy Glen Farm showed that the
praises of her friends were not at all
misplaced. Thrift and industry are WISH
breezy brightness about Mrs. Cooke tells
you more strongly than words that she
is interested in her work and loves it
for its own sake.
For ten years she has had entire charge
of a S20-acre farm of which forty acres
is wood lot and the rest under cultivation
or as natural meadow. Her reading, she
claims, is mostly farm papers. but we
noticed on her desk an up-to-date selec-
ton of other papers and magazines
However, her farm literature is put to
practical use, as you find before you have
been in her home an hour.
Mrs. Cooke has a very friendly feeling
for the school of agriculture, as may
be imagined from the fact that her head
man, Mr.. John McGregor, who has been
with her nine years. is a Wide-awake
student of the school.
Each year she sends a fruit exhibition
to the state fair, and it is quite a treat
