The Metcalf Affair.

For the past few days the papers
have been full OF rumors Of the pos
sibe effect that charges brought by
Capt. Boltwood, of Ottawa, against
Wilder S. Metcalf, newly appointed
pension agent for Kansas. may have.
The charge made is that Major Met
calf while in charge of the Twentieth
Kansas in the Philippines, shot down
and killed one or two Filipino prison
oners. This charge was made while
the regiment was in Manila, was in
vestigated by military court and the
Major exonerated of all guilt. Now
it is revived and is a nasty story.
There are about ], 900 young men il
the state who claim to know the exact
facts in the case. They are the pri-
Yates in the Twentieth Kansas. The
lola contingent declares that Metcalf
is guiltless. Two of the boys profess
personal knowledge of the shooting in
question. They say that the investi-
CATION in Manila was something of a
farce. in that the privates who really
knew about the affair were cleverly
passed by. A private in the ranks is
mighty slow to hint at guilt in II sup
erior officer for there are hundreds of
ways in which the officer can make
Mr.. Private regret such action. But
the private particularly the volun
teer private, after he returns to civil
ways, slips quickly on his old habit
and. American privilege of cussing
the biggest man in the army until heis
black in the face, if he sees fit.
So the lola boys. and doubtless the
rest of the regiment, for the matter
was talked over freely during the re-
turn voyage, are not only saying that
Metcalf is innocent, but they are nam
ing the names of the men who are
guilty" One of the men who shot
down Filipino, the boys say, is now
serving in the army, the other is a
retired private in lola. The one in
the army was an officer at the time,
and is an officer now, so investigation
might touch him; the boys assert that
the private out of the ranks is eX'
empt.
If the presentinvestigation is carried
on thoroughly and to finish it is
possible if not probable that severaI
lola ex-soldiers will be invited tc
Washinuton and the facts hrOupht
out. In the meantime the boys will bC
content to declare that Metcalf is in
nocent, although several have eX
pressed perfect willingness to swear
to interesting things if brought before {
court.

Sheriff Hobart Still In.

Sheriff Hobart is still the m ain guy
at the county Jail. although his regu-
lar term expired at midnight Sunday
night. But for the change in the cleo
tion law he would have yielded his
Office to successor yesterday. Like
all the other sheriffs he will keep the
Office for the ensuing year unless
ousted by legal process. Nobody is
making any effort to do this and un-
less the test case brought by the APP
pointment of sheriff for the year in
Montgomery county proves that the
sheriiTs cannot legally hold over, Mr..
Hobart will continue in Office. Had
it not been for the biennial election
law, the register of deeds, county
clerk, county surveyor, coroner, and
others would have gone out also. AS
it is the only change that was made
was on the board of county commits
sioners.

TO BE APRlVATE SCHEME
Carnegie Institution Not to Be Turned
Over to the Government

Washington. Jan. 13.-It is stated
by one of the incorporators and
trustees of the Carnegie institute that
no reason is perceived at present for
any congressional or governmental
action in connection with that educa'
tional scheme. AS it stands, the in
stitute is like any other private COR
poration. Therefore, it is held, there
can be no question as to the propriety
of its holding any class of securities,
whether steel bonds or United States
States government bonds as the basis
of its endowment, This statement is
believed to indicate Mr.. Carnegie's $
purpose to place his bequest in the
shape of United States steel securities
as originally intended.

and 7. l.. Luzier, organizers. All OF
these men are lola business men,

Mutual life insurance company, and
is the only out of townman in the com
pany. References as to the company's
reliability are made to both the local
banks, the secretary and treasurer be-
ing further checked by u $4,000 bond.
The purpose of the company is to
enable men to secure homes at u small
monthly outlay. There are number
of companies engaged in this work at
present, 1.-THE theory being simply the
application of.an old one. But the
homelcompany thinks it looks more
carefully after the interests of the in
vestors than do any of the others. All
of these things they explain in their
policies. Briefly the plan is this:
You buy contract for So; after that
you pay Sl.35 a.month until your con-
tract natures; then you pay S5.35 a
month until you have paid $1,000,
when you get deed to a 81 900 home.
That would be the method if but one
man took a contract. If l,000 men
take contracts, one will mature the
first month. Immediately Contract
No. falls.due, the holder gets IL ,000
home and pays thereon S5.35 a month
until he has paid out. BE can rent the
house, thus letting it pay for itself, or
he can move in, and pay out on the
home, saving rent at a cost of So. 10 a
month.
Getting home is one of the chief
ends of man. This home company
will not work for love, but it expects
to spend the extra money pushing
business and advertising over half a
dozen states. Incidentally some
money will go into the members pockets
but that does not prevent the plan be.
ing good one for home getting, or
long time, at cheap rates. Every cent
you pay in from the first day is hon.
estly accounted for and your 81 6
month credited on your contract.
The thing in a nutshell is this;
you want to get a home on favorabl,
terms this is a good plan. If yol
= favor this plan you can trust HON,
men a whole lot more than you cal
outsiders.

What a Visitor Saw.
Editor Eldorado Republican:

lola, Kansas, December 3d. 1901.
l am here on lay off visiting my
son, L. H. Wishard, who is principal
of one of the ward schools. lola
claims a population of 5000, and if
this flow of gas continues as at pres
ent l see no reason why it may not
reach 25, 900 in ten years. There are
eight smelters in full blast with a
daily output of 200 tons of zinc; en-
ploys l,500 linen with a pay roll of
$3.50, 900; the men receive from 81. go up
to 81 for six hours of labor. There is
one cement plant that turns out 5000
barrels OF cement per day. There are
also four brick yards that do a good
business through the spring and sum
mer; but Mr.. Editor the best thing
have found here is the natural gas
piped Into the houses. All you have
to do is to turn the gas on and sit and
toast your shins. Don't tell your
readers that got blowed up by one of
these gas stoves. 1t does not take a
spry woman more than twenty minutes
to get meal. Today [ took a ride
on the electric street car which made u
trial trip this week; it runs out 20 La
Harpe, a distance of six miles. Gas
City lies between LaHarpe and lola
so you see there will be continuous
city between these places.
lola has churches of almost all de-
nominations, the M. E. church has
just been completed at the cost OF

ty of the society and the town in gen.
eral. Near by in the country lives

great come from the farm.

she refused to obey her eister while at
play; Laura, the three-year-old
daughter of George Corneilson, a
laborer, was slashed across the throat
from ear to ear with her fathers razor
by her sister Nellie, this afternoon,
and died from the wounds at O'Clock
tonight. Nellie, Who'll eleven years old,
steadfastlyldenies that she committed
the, deed and lays the blame upon her
brother, aged five. The latter, how
ever, says it was his sister, and the
father of the girl, who is hard work
ing man, told the police that he be-
lieves the story of the son, since 1t
would have been almost impossible
for the child to have committed the
deed The little girls head was near
ly severed from her body, but despite
this fact, she lived for hours, though
unconscious. Tie deed was commit
ted iu the barn and almost within
sight af the mother, who was busy in
the kitchen and thought that the chill
dren were peacefully at play in the

DOCTOR Of lola VILLAGE"
Unwashed, Unlettered st. Louis
Physician Desires to Assume
That Title.

The following letter was recently
received by the postmaster here and
referred by him to DR.. Clearinghouse,
who sent tart reply. 1t is probable
the inquiry came because the st.
Louis doctor saw the advertisement of
an lola doctor in medical paper.
The letter is as follows:
2. M. lola, Kansas.
Dear Sir:--l would like to obtain
some information about your town as
location for young physician. 1
understand your present NJ. ID. Is in
tending to move to another locality to
benefit the health of some member of
his family and that you will need
DR.. when he is gone. Would like to
know about how soon the place will
be vacant ? What is the size of your
town ? Has the present DR.. good
paying practice ?
Would like to know something of
the financial condition of the people in
general of lola.
You will pardon me if am taking
up too much of your time and if you
haven't the time to answer, would you
/ please hand the letter to someone that
can give me the desired information.
At all events | should like very much
to receive an answer and oblige,

can become no greater than the people it
represents. No editor is brighter or
smarter than the people who take his
paper. 1t is true that it is his business
to ascertain the facts that the people do
not ascertain. After he has accumulated ID
these facts it is then his duty to present
them to the public. After that the pub
lie acts as it pleases. 1t agrees with the
paper or. disagrees with it. Whichever
turn it makes it has the right to think
and believe as it pleases and to vote as it
pleases.
Newspapers are too apt to present
themselves before the people as dicta-
tors. Whenever they do they are out
side of the sphere for which they were
created. In the campaign tC come Siftings
will endeavor to present facts to the
people. 1t will not become personal in
it's campaign against the opposition, for
personalities are not appreciated by the
people.
1t will not hesitate to call wrong by
its right name nor will it refrain from
showing up wrong no matter whom it
may wound. All public officials are SER
wants of the people. 1t is right that their
acts shall be made public. No public
official can become greater than the
power that created him. Every dollar
expended should be accounted for just
the same as one member of a firm or
company should demand a settlement of
everything connected with its conduct
and operation.
Let the fight, so far as the newspapers
are concerned, be fair in the county.
Siftings will do it's part to bring about
such condition of affairs, 1t does not
mean by this that matters are to be
smothered that the public are entitled to
for it will insist that every public record
should become public property and that
a frank and tair explanation should be
made wherever any particular expendi-
ture is questioned.

A NEWSPAPERS DUTY.

Last year during the campaign this
paper contained a statement to the effect
that it was the duty of a newspaper to
present facts concerning the righteous
ness and unrighteousness of the two
parties, of the men represented and of
the principles held by the parties; that
it was the duty of newspaper to en-
deavor to educate the people to the
policy it represented and that newspa-
per was out of it's place and out of it's
sphere when it attempted to dictate the
course to be followed by any voter. AS
a result of this statement one of our
contemporaries came out with the state
ment that Siftings had sold out " to the
Democratic party.
That same paper, under its manage
ment at that time, held that it was the
duty of newspaper to force the people
to believe as it did in political matters.
We do not agree with this theory. When
a newspaper has presented the facts to
its readers, when it has called the atten-
ton of it's readers to the needs of the
people, when it has laid bare the reasons
for its convictions on certain questions
and when it has placed the cause fairly
and impartially before the people it has
done it's duty and has no right to say to
any voter that he must or must not vote
in certain way or for certain party.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

The nomination of Judge Stimson for
governor on the Democratic state ticket
was predicted nearly month ago. 1t
was foregone conclusion that the party
could not have hoped to have made the
campaign with Governor Orman at the
head of the ticket He would have been
met by an Interrogation point at every
point in the state. The people would
have demanded an explanation of the
scandals in the various departments of
state under his administration.
The nomination of Stimson will not
help the party, however, in this regard.
The people will demand an explanation
from the party. Mr.. Stimson represents
exactly the same political aggregation
that placed Governor Orman at the head
of the executive department of the state.
1t is the same old Market street, police
force element of Denver. The same line
of fusion uphoIders that have placed the
various administrations in power for the
past six or seven years. There can be
no change in method because there is
candidate of this ring who does not rec
ognize their ownership before he is NOM
mated. He must trade his principles
and conscience for the nomination.
So far as we have been able to ascer-
tain Judge Stimson's record is not one
that will appeal to the masses. He is,
according to the statements made by the
Orman people, an avowed and open
enemy of organized labor. He has been
placed in position where he has been
tried and found to possess a prejudice
against the men who make up the labor
unions of the state.
Democrats in all parts of the state
are regretting his nomination and fail to
evidence the usual enthusiasm for him
that other candidates receive.
The nomination is not strong one,
although it is better for the party than
the nomination of Mr.. Orman would
have been.

MINING BUSINESS INTERESTING

A commendable feature in connection
with the Idaho Springs district as min
ing proposition is the fact that the out
put is continually increasing and that
with the increased output comes the in
creased capital into the district. Were
it fact that the district was increasing
the amount of revenue attracted and de-
creasing the product the showing would
not be good As long, however, as the
product continues to increase capital will
naturally be attracted and the result is
bound to be still greater increase along
both lines.
The visit of Harry ]. Newton, mining
editor of the Daily Mining Record to the
camp this week is an indication that the
outside world begins to realize that the
district is destined to become one of the
most productive in the state. In another
place in this issue will be found an inter-
view with Mr.. Newton in which he calls
attention to the need for the application
of more modern methods in the district.
His words are full of wisdom and should
be needed by the mining men. The man
who mines with the expensive methods
of ten or twenty years ago is the man
who is losing money in the operation.
Recent processes have developed the
fact that greater saving can be accom-
plished in the extraction of the mineral
from the rock. This adds to the profit
of the mining man. 1t has been shown
that where it is possible to employ the
tunnel it is cheaper to produce the ore
at the mill than it is through the shaft.
This means a saving to the miner.
Good work in mining should be en-
couraged. Modern machinery should be
placed wherever it is possible to employ
it. Work should be conducted on lar
ger scale. Hundreds of innovations,
proftable in the extreme could be intro
duced in the district and should be.
1t begins to look as if the district
was at the dawn of it's success. Let
every mining man and business man
help it along.
