The Burglars.

About week ago the knives that
were stolen from Gibbs and Abrams
store began to make their appearance.
and the son OF Max Tyron was able to
locate the booty. Accordingly search
warrant was sworn out and 10 knives
8 raisors revolver and porcelain ket-
tie were found in the possession Of Gan
dalope Ortex,' Frank and Jose I.obato
just across the river bridge.
These parties were arrested and pre-.
liminary examination WAS held before
Justice Warburton last Monday evening
and were hound over to the district
court in the sum Of slOO each.
The old gentleman claimed to have
discovered most Of the booty concealed
among the rubbish near the pest house
where he happened to he passing and
took them home and told Jose to sell
them.
1t was claimed that Frank bought the
revolver from party whose name was
gwen but Mr.. Gibbs was unable to iden-
tify 1t M his property. Frank also
claims to have been away on the night
Of the burglary. But the fact that the
cutlery was found in the possession OF
jose and the old gentleman and no sat
isfactory reason given for the possession
the justice was compelled to bind the
prisoners over. Frank had two knives
which his brother gave him and which
he voluntarily produced. 50 that a. the
case appears there is hut little, il any,
evidence to warrant holding him.
As none of the parties were able to |
give bond Of AGO they are all now in
the county jail.

Yes, and we too, have owned and
published six papers in three states,
and at no time or place have we at
any time run saloon advertisements
Of any kind. But that is nothing.
We never claim anything for doing
our duty; all we ask is credit for per-
forming that duty. The saloon is
the product of law, and being such,
it is just as legitimate as banking or
money loaning. The saloons are as
good as the men who patronize them
and best evidence to our mind that
saloons are desirable, is the fact that
they are here. If the majority of
people were opposed to saloons, in
very short time they would be
thing of the past, but our reason for
not running them is that we do not
care to aid or abet them in doing
business that we cannot approve Of,
nevertheless, if they SO desire, can
force publisher to run their adver-
tisements. If you have any doubts
about this, look up your application
for entry of second class mail mat
ter.-Ellensburgg Dawn.

HAD FOOLISH IDEAS.
Recently a colored preacher in
Galesburg, Illinois, refused to per-
NIT his Sunday School scholars to
sing America" because his race was
being lynched, disfranchised and
otherwise mistreated in this Gland of
the free and home Of the brave"
That sable-hued divine has the
wrong idea Of life. He got up back
wards and has never got properly
turned around. He is a public pes
simist, rather than a popular preach
er, and hasn't got brains enough to
draw a distinction between those
who do right and those who do
wrong. Because a few men are
lynched by mobs in the United
States, he completely overlooks the
fact that over 100000 white citizens
Of this country gave up their lives
on the battle field that the Negro
might enjoy the privileges that he is
now enjoying. He completely over
looks the fact that the Negroes Of
this country have accumulated mil
lions of dollars worth Of property
and money in less than forty years,
He oyerlooks the fact that not less
than forty years ago the Negroes Of
this country were as illiterate as the
Hottentot of Africa, but today at
least forty per cent. Of them can in
telligently read and write, and that
they own and enjoy pretty nearly ev-
cry privilege that the whites do, and
they have been able to do all of this
because the white citizens of the.
United States have lent them a help
ing hand on every occasion. All of
these favors our divine friend casts
to naught because one or two men,
comparatively speaking, Of his race
are lynched by bowling mobs. It is
just such misguided creatures as
these that turn the wheels of prog
ress, SO far as the Negro is concern
ed, backwards hundred times fast
er than all his white friends have
been able to turn. forward since he
has been emancipated. Not sing
HAmericap Then our colored friend
had better take his Sunday School
and leave for Africa or some other
place where he can sing Of those
countries. The Negro of the United
States that cannot sing America"
and sing it with vengeance, and
likewise sing it for the good it has
done for him, is an migrate beyond
expression, for in no other country
in the civilized world has the Negro
succeeded as he has in the United
States, his years Of bondage, the race
prejudice against him and the num-
Der of lynchings to the contrary not
withstanding. Yes, sing America"
and sing it from as many mouths as
there are black men, women and
children in America, and some day
all will be well.

$4,000 homesteads will make their
mad rush to secure Oklahoma homes.
1t seems almost preposterous to
think that 10000 persons in this
civilized country would undertake
such struggle as the one that is
now contemplated in Oklohoma for
the sake of getting a free home. 1t
is barely possible that every one Of
those persons, who purpose to join
in this mad rush for a home in Ok
lahoma territory, has spent more
money in the endeavor than it would
have cost him to have bougth a
home in some Eastern state. 1t
seems perfectly natural to the aver
age citizen to join in some wild ex-
citement, and whether he is ever am
ply rewarded for it or not does not
enter into his calculations; it is sim
ply desire to be in the push. A
homestead in Oklahoma such as one
of the $4,000 is and will be, when it
is filed upon, would not exceed ST.
600 in value, if that much, and yet
many of the applicants, who should
be designated as "sooners," as they
have been camping on the border
line for more than a year with the
view of getting in on the ground
floor, have spent fully that amount
awaiting for the opening. Such
men, however, are deserving of sue
cess, and it is hoped that those
'sooners" will get one of the desired
quarter sections, but, as said above,
just what the 100000 others expect
to get is more than one can figure
out. There is not a scarcity Of farm
lands on which industrious citizens
Of this country can get and utilize as
homes, nor is it necessary for them
to participate in such wild rush as
this to get them, though one does get
them practically for nothing, as they
do government home. The misery
and suffering that these people have
been compelled to undergo to take
a part in this homestead rush, has
already cost them more time, men
tai worry and actual money, than
what such a homestead would re-
munerate them were they sold
either now or five years hence, and
it is more than likely that the ma
jority Of them pulled up and left
lands equally as good that would
have cost them less and in some in
stances, perhaps, sold splendid
homes and have spent the entire
amount in trying to get home for
nothing. "What fools these NOR
tails be-"
