INCREASED

Friends Some Pride.
Mr.. JET HEARD SPEECH
Say He Made a Wonderfully
Strong Impression.
Mr.. JET HEARD SPEECH

The admiration of J. E. Jett of the
wholesale house or Jett and Wood, for
Congressman Longs ability has increas-
ed wonderfully during the past three or
four weeks. With his coat OF he sat in
has Office yesterday reading the reciprocity
speech recently made by Mr.. Long in
congress.
Just read from there down" he said
to a reporter for the Eagle, indicating
several paragraphs Of the speech.
You see how he answers the questions
propounded to him during the speech. 1t
is wonderful how man can have answers
at his tongues end like that. isn't it?-'
I heard all that speech in congress, "
said Mr.. Jet, every word OF it and I
came home proud of Mr. Long and glad
to be a constituent Of the Big Seventh
You have no idea how that speech was
received by other congressman. They all
listened 20 him with the greatest atten-
ton and what he said made great i'm
preston. I tell you 1t does a Kansas
man good to be a visitor in the capital
when Long is talking. You don't have to
be ashamed 10 register from Kansas in
Washington any more"
Mr.. Jet spent month in Washington
with his wife whose health was not good
but who is now much improved. Mrs. Jett
visited Mrs. Long and has a great admira-
ton for the wife of the hrainy congress
man. she is a charming woman" said
Mr. Jett. and 1 have an idea that she
has given much of the inspiration to her
husband that has developed him into one
of the leaders of national affairs.
I'VE had delightful time" said Mr.
Jett. Everybody ought TO so to Wash
ington some time. 1t is inspiring to see
the seat of government. You understand
the greatness of the government when
you see its home
Did congress disappoint you; that is,
did the capacity Of its members come up
to your expectations"
Yes; the great men Of the nation ara
what l expected to see them. They are
big men in this government-in al
branches of it.
Did you meet the PRESIDENT"
7 regret that I did not, although Mr..
Long had an engagement with him for
Us. Unfortunately we could not fulfill
it as my wife had a friend who was de-
parting from Washington that day. We
were fortunate enough. however. in see
ing President and Mrs Roosevelt on the
White House grounds on Easter morning
when the children OF Washington had an
egg carnival there.
I'VE visited Mt. Vernon, where the re-
mains of Washington lie, Arlington Nat
ional cemetery and other places of in
terest, and on the whole. had a delightful
time. The congressional library was a
revelation to us. 1t is a dream Of archi-
tecturaI beauty and artistic appointment.

J. D. GiIchrist Wants Nineteen
Boys Arrested.
CELEBRATING A WEDDING
But Boys Were Rather Rough
in Doing 1t.
CELEBRATING A WEDDING

Yesterday the county attorney and the
sheriff were kept busy at the telephone
listening TO a grievance of a Valley Cen
ter man, who was endeavoring to get a
redress. He wants nineteen boys. or at
least the guilty ones out of this bunch
OF Valley Center youth. punished for what
he considers as outrageous char1varing
they did at his home. 1t was ]. D. Gil
christ at the telephone. HIS son. of
spivey. was married at his fathers home
sn Valley Center and the boys made it an
occasion to have a good time winding up
the evening with a chicken barbecue.
j was shortly after the young couple
were duly united that the boys opened
fire. They made things look blue and
rent the air and part OF the house with
their shotguns. 1t was discopered next
morning that parts Of the cornice on the
house were al shot off and the weather
boarding filed fun of shot. It was evident
that the boys kept up this kind of bust
ness till after midnight when their inner
men became to feel the need Of something
moro than fun There was brain matter
81 that crowd, and where there is brain
there is hope.
Some Of the boys only carried out this
part Of the nights work The others
went home and to ibed. Some Of these are
OF the nineteen whose names Mr.. Gilchrist
has, and it is ONLY the ring-leaders he
wants. Those who did not leave the scene
Of action broke .into Mr. Gilchrist's
chicken-coop and freely helped themselves
20 the fowls. Proceeding out into the
middle Of the commons, they built fire,
q FIRE that threw a mighty glow, but did
not make things look brighter for Mr..
Gilchrist As the names leaped toward
heaven the chickens were put upon the
spits and roasted to a brown. After this
Eumptuous feast. the crowd gave a few
satisfied war-whoops and departed TO
their many homes.
Mr. Gilchrist was willing TO be chart
varied. but objects to his house being
shot to pieces and his chickens stolen.

and bring them to justice. and this was
The nature OF his talk over the phone
yesterday with the officials.
Many so-calIed .'bitters' are not medi-
cines. but simply liquids disguised, so as
to evade the law. Prickly Ash Bitters is
not one Of this class. It is strictly q med
acine, acting primarily on the kidneys,
liver and bowels and for the dangerous
diseases that attack these organs it is a
remedy of the first grade. There is moth
ing objectionable in its taste. it has an
agreeable favor and is acceptable to the
most delicate stomach.

animation of Court Records
Proves story TO be Partially
True at Least.

BEATRICE, Neb, Oct. 22.-(special)-
w. G. Mccartney leaves today for Dwight
Ill. In search Of his mother. whom he sup
posed to nave been dead for thirty-two
years, and a sister that he never knew.
In 1870 Charles Mccartney and his wife
separated. At that time w. G. Mccartney
was but 2 years of age. His father raised
him and told him that his mother had died
when he was very young.
While in Denver recently Mr.. Mccartney
visited a palmist who read his palm. The
woman revealed to him some things that
aroused his curiosity, and directed him to
go to Audubon. Ia, and to look In the
court records and he would iind something
that would surprise him. She also told
him that his mother was still living and
that he had a sister who was married. and
that he would fall heir to q large amount
of property, but would have to go to law
20 secure It. While Mr.. Mccartney treated
the matter lightly II worked upon his mind
until two weeks ago. when he visited Audi
bon, Ia. and looked in the books upon the
pages instructed. To his surprise he found
upon the very page a petition for divorce
nled by his father. in which he related the
fact that two children were born to them;
that the mother had the girl and the father
the custody OF the boy.
Further research revealed the fact that
3 divorce had never been granted. but the
petition had been dismissed by the father
at his cost four years after having been
filed. The records OF the recorders once
also showed that the father had sold valu-
able lands. making one deed as a widow
er" and another as unmarried" although
he had never been divorced.
Mr.. Mccartney consulted a trance medium
IN this city yesterday. who described In
detail all that he already knew about the
matter aud further stated that his mother
was alive and that he would find her and
his sister.
II what he anticipates on his eastern
trip proves to be true. he has an interest
IN a valuable, estate. and what is better
