to advise in your case. Probably the
best thing would be to learn short

We left here Dec. II for the hills

the taking of three strongholds. One
of them we shelled for three days, and
took by storm, only to get hold of
empty trenches and a big cave that
ran through the mountain and was
the way of escape for the Gugns. But
in the cave we ran onto them. and

also captured six or eight towns and
set fire to all deserted buildings. We
lost several pack mules; some fell over

Row At Norton.

The religious revival being conduct
ed at Norton by Evangelists HOuSer
and Houghton was closed last Satur-
day on account of the smallpox. It
seems that a small sized row was
kicked up over the manner in which
it was done. The State Journal of
Feb. "a says:
SIN the conference between the
county physician and the mayor and a
portion of the council as to the advis
ability of ordering the closing of the
meetings, the eyangeliSts were pres
ent, and one Of them took except ions
to the closing of the meetings unless
the club room and dances were also
ordered discontinued, for they thought
there would be no more danger of
spreading the disease in the church
than in the club room or dance hall.
The fevangeliStS had in their meetings
stirred up considerable feeling among
the Norton people, and especially
among those who like to dance, and it
didn't take long for the volcano to
burst, and it burst in the health ply
sician's drug store, and some things
not on the program occurred. Coun-
Gilman Miller, who had taken excep-
tions to the remarks of Rev. Hough-
ton, in a manner not to be misunder-
stood by any of those present in the
store, proceeded to do the reverend
gentleman up, striking him a blow
and planting one of his feet on his
body. 1t is claimed the evangelists
have used some very severe language
in their meetings and this has aroused
the ire of many of the people of Nor
ton. The meetings will be continued
soon as the further danger of spread
ing smallpox is past.

Murder In Smith County.

News of a murder which occurred in
Smith county Tuesday was brought to
this city yesterday morning by I. NJ.
Mahin. A young man named Hugh
Day was killed by his mother-in-law,
Mrs John Campbell.
1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Day had
been living in Chicago until recently
and that upon their return to Kansas
Mrs: Day went to the home of her
parents. Tuesday morning Mr.. Day
wentIto see his wife and passing where
Campbell and the hired man were at
work, Campbell ordered Day off the
premises. He went at once to the
house where his mother-in-law met
him at the door with a shotgun and as
he turned away fired tearing away
portion of the head and killing him
instantly.
There had been trouble between
Day and the CampbelIS before.
DR.. Slagle called a coroner's jury
which returned verdict charging
Mrs. Campbell with the shooting.
She is now in the county jail.
Mrs. Campbell claims the shooting
was accidental.

Quaker Meeting.

The Quaker social at Uniondale on
the afternoon and evening was de-
cided success both financially and
socially. Covers were laid for 10 per-
sons and all did ample justice to the
supper which was very good. There
were eighteen Quakers present which
caused good deal of merriment. The
young people enjoyed games and mu-
sic. We hope the social department.
of the League viii take courage and
go on to grander possibilities.
We as pastor and family desire to
express our hearty thanks to all for
the interest shown and the fraternal
interest manifested.

MILITARISM EFFECTS.
Ir1AdINEs HIMSELF A "LoRD."
McKinIey's Pet, Admiral Sampson, Opposes
Navy Promotions from the Ranks on
Account of Their .sSociaI
Standing"

Because he cannot tolerate social
equality with an officer from among
the common people," Rear Admiral
Sampson has vetoed the application of
Charles Morgan for the position of en-
sign in the navy. In letter to the
secretary of the navy which has just
leaked out he says:
''Mr. Morgan has good professional
ability. He also has, which distin-
guishes him from most other warrant
officers, a gentlemanly bearing. It is
earnestly to be hoped, however, that
the secretary of the navy will not
find it necessary to take advantage of
the authority which I understand is
to be granted him to appoint certain
number of warrant officers to the
grade of ensigns.
"While it is true that these men are
selected from large class of men of
very unusual ability, it is also true
that, they are recruited from class of
men who have not had the social adj
vantages that are a requisite for a
commissioned officer.
sit is submitted that in time of
peace the navy's function consists, to
a certain extent, of representing the
country abroad, and it is important
that the navy's representative should
be men of at least refinement. While
there are perhaps a certain few among
the warrant officers who could fulfill
this requirement, am of the opinion
that the vast majority of them could
not.
"Once they are commissioned they
| will have the same social standing as
other officers, and no distinction prop
erly could be made in extending gen
eral invitations. The consequence
that would arise from their accept
ance might not rebound to the credit
of the navy or the country which the
navy represents.
81 merely mean to suggest. to the
department that, unfortunately for
them, they have been deprived of GER
tain natural advantages, and in conse-
quence their proper place is that of
leading men among the crew, and not
as representatives of the country in
the wardroom and steerage."

THE PIONEER MILLS.
SHOWS RECORD HARD TO BEAT.
A Brief, History of One Years Business Of
the FIGURING Mill Located Here One Year
AgO.-The Mill Has Proven a Good
Investment and a Profitable
Industry for the City.

February ,, 1901, completed the first
years business of the Phillipsburg
Roller Mills, and taking in cOnsidera-
ton the partial crop failure and other
difficulties in the way, the record Of
the mill has been a remarkable one.
Only little more than year ago
Mr.. Chelf, then resident of Good
land, came to this city with a PROPOSE
tion to erect a steam Touring mill in
this city with daily capacity of 125
barrels.
Many of the leading business men
including some of the members of the
city, government became at once inter-
ested in the matter and soon SubStan-
tial encouragement was given Mr..

Oysters For Seven.


Some time ago at a meeting of the
K. and L. of S. a suggestion was made
that few who were always present
had all thhe work to do. Quite a dis
cussion followed this and finally mo-
tion was made and carried that at all
meetings where but seven or less
number were present, oysters should
be served and the bill charged up to
the general fund Of the council. 1t
so happened that on Feb. 10 there
were but seven present, and, not wish
ing to break any of the rules, they re-
paired to the restaurant kept by Phil
Albaugh and say, such oyster Stews
as he set up made them all express
desire that the attendance would new
er exceed that number. Those pres
ent enjoyed it and those absent can
foot the bill. Come out at the next
meeting and vote such proceedings out
of order. Such things ought not to
be SO. M.L.H.

..sittine QUIZ Danes

The Goodland Republic prints the
following about the sitting out''
dance, which, it is supposed, has
reached that place:
1.-THE young people who indulge in
the dizzy waltz will hear with inter-
est that the heads of Washington and
New York society have declared that
Sitting OUT waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than dane
ing. The Sitting out embodies the
same position as dancing-the only
difference is that you sit instead Of
dancing. The mans right arm is
around the girls waist while his left
hand holds her right. Her left hand
is placed on his shoulder, while her
head rests lovingly on his bosom, and
and all they have to do is to sit and
listen to the music Now, that is
something like it. we always regard
ed it as quite a nuisance to have to
gallop mile or two to get hug or
two. A room full of people sitting
around on sofas hugging to music is
more to our notion. This will give
the old rheumaticky brethren another
chance to waltz. Most men waltz,
not for the dance, but for the position
and while many man may lose his
appetite for dancing he has to get
powerful old before he loses his appe-
tite for hugging pretty girl"

Chelf, resulting in giving this city
one of the finest and best equipped
Touring mills in the west.
Mr.. Chelf has proven himself first
class business man, having worked up
a handsome business of which many
an older Institution might be proud.
He always employs the best possible
miller he can secure and turns out
flour that is highly spoken of by his
customers.
Mr.. Chelf handed the HERALD the
following statement of the amount of
businasS done in the year ending Feb
ruary ,:
Bushels of wheat manufactured into flour 36,O00
Cars OF wheat shipped out.-.......... 10
Cars of mill wheat shipped in ............-
Cars of flour shipped out
Wagon-loads of flour delivered to towns. 127
Bushels OF corn ground into meal ;;.. 5,oo0
Total number of griets brought to mill 1,2OO
Number of bushels in grists. 5000
These figures tell an eloquent story
of business push and enterprise. The
1000 bushels of wheat made (allow-
ing an average of 81 or 80 pounds of
flour to the buShel) over 21,000 sacks
of -four. The money received for this
flour added that much to the circulate
ing medium of this city and county; a
large part of it being paid out to la
borerS and farmers of this vicinity.
The 1000 persons that brought gristS
to the mill represent so much trade
attracted to the city, and the 5000
bushels of grain ground for them added
that much to their convenience in
getting their grain manufactured into
flour near home.
Other things being equal, it is much
better for all our people to patronize a
home industry than it is to give their
patronage to industries in other local.,
