The Funeral of Charles Dickerson.

The Funeral of Charles Dickerson
After several months of sickness, il
great pain, Charles Dickerson died peace
fully and calmly, Feb. 27, 6 p. M, OF
liver complaint. age SO years past. Sat
nrday afternoon, at the Presby L
church. Rev Westwood conducted the
funeral exercises. The body, in charge
of Undertaken Adam, and borne by pal
bearers d. Swinehart, w. T. Young.
John S. Rush, J. NJ. Bell. A. Evarts and
L. B. Rice, was brought into the church
at 80 O'Clock. The choir composed of
Mrs. Harry Hubbard, Mrs. B. F.
Milton. Miss Eleanor Milton, and
Rev. VIM. westwood, sang the hymn,
Nearer My God. to Thee.
Rev. Wn. Westwood read the 27tb
Psalm. 1.-THE Lord is my light and my
saIvation,,' which was followed by
prayer, and the hymn. Rock of Ages.
Mr. Westwood said if you should ask
the average man which was the most
mysterious thing he would tell you it
was death But the mystery of life is a
greater mystery than death. and how
lightly life plays our lips! Life is the
Alpha and Omega of all things.
Life was word most common on the
lips of Christ. He wanted, first of ALL
for man to live. His great utterance was
- am the life. -
Mr.. Westwood spoke of the three
views of life. black, white and gray
The best thing for us to do is to stand up
against all trials and troubles in the hope
that we shall see a better life.
There were those who enjoyed the con-
vivial and joyous side of life, a life of
ease.
No man can be in sympathy with the
trouble of the world without being like
Christ, man of sorrow.
There was the gray theory OF life.
Life is not all black. Life is not all
white But a combination of these is a
gray life. God mixes the figments that
1t may bring out the gospel of gray
The thought was that life is a mixed one
of sorrow and trouble and joy, and we
must bear up under all these in the spirit
Of the Psalm, for the good of ourselves
and those around US.
Charles Dickerson was born in Zanes-
vile, Ohio, January "a, 1913.
He was married June, 1876. in West
Lebanon, Indiana. and was a member of
the Free Methodist church. Mr. West
wood said the deceased lived according
to the gray conception of life His life
was not all black. 1t was not all joy, but
he overcame obstacles and enjoyed
quiet and peaceful life.
Mr. Dickerson and wife came to Dodge
City In 1873, and had been residents
here, excepting few years, for nearly
"a years Naturally of a retiring dispo-
sltIon Mr.. Dickerson did not make many
acquaIntances, but he man of
strong friendship, when once formed.
For many years he was in different
kinds of business in this city, and en-
countered the ups and downs of bust
ness career. He was regarded as a man
of strict integrity and dealt fairly with
every body.
The widow and who are left to
mour the loss of a husband and father

their bereavement.

THE RED LAKE LANDS
Senator Clapp Has an Amendment
to Insure the Opening Of Them
to Settlement.

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build.
ing, Washington.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Clapp has
a plan for passing a law at this session
Of congress which will insure the opening
Of all the townships of agricultural land in
the Red Lake reservation covered by the
treaty which has passed the senate and is
now pending in the house. He has drafted
and referred to Commissioner Jones for an
opinion bill providing that all these lands
shall be sold by sealed bids In tracts not
exceeding 100 acres to each purchaser, the
time Of payment extending over five years.
The object of the proposed amendment is
to meet the objections made to this treaty
by Representative Cannon that the gov
eminent will have to expend a million
dollars for land with no assurance Of it's
ever being returned to the treasury, in
view of the prospect of it's being made
subject to the terms Of the free homes law
after it has been. obtained and entered.
Commissioner Jones is in favor Of the
proposition to sell the land by sealed bids
but will oppose allowing the deferred pay
ments to run for five years. He wants the
land sold for cash. He fears that if hard
times come to the purchasers they will
appeal to congress for an extension and
possibly for legislation relieving them from
payment altogether. In support of his
contention he cites the case of lands in
Kansas and Nebraska sold at auction, the
purchasers of which secured legislation re-
lieving them of the payment Of a large
share Of the purchase money. It is zes-
timated that the Red Lake land will bring
at least $40 an acre. The treaty ne
gotiated by Inspector Mclaughlin provides
for the sale at $500 an acre.

THE TWO RIVER ISLANDS

Gerard Scrip Is Rejected

From Tho Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Secretary Hitch
cock to-day confirmed the decision Of the
commissioner Of the general land office
in the case of William Buerfenning, who
applied to make entry of two islands mi
the Mississippi river within the city limits
of Minneapolis with what is known as
Gerard scrip" His application IS re-
jected.
It will be recalled that Major Hoxfe in
a report on the subject called attention to
the fact that htese islands were not in eX-
istence at the date of he original survey
in 1854 and therefore, were the public prop
erty Of the state or it's grants. The own
ership Of the islands was in controversy in
1882 when Buerfenning claimed them as
public land and survey was ordered on
his application. He did not, however, wir
the suit, because the courts decided thai
the land was within the limits of the city
but did not doubt the question of actua
ownership. e. =. .--. -r-.'
The secretarys decision discusses this
phase of the question, saying:
IF their origin was since 1854 they be-
came at their formation, the property OF
the state; if they existed prior thereto,
the ypresumably passed to riparian own
ers by grant Of shore lands. Upon such
facts they ought not to have been sur
veyed in 1882 as public lands of the United

strike arbitration bill. He explained that
the senate amendment fixing definite
sum for the expenses and compensation
OF the commissioners and employees and

the hands Of the president had been re-
tanned. but that the senate conferees had
yielded to the house to the extent of al
lowing SIS per day to the commissioners
for expenses instead of s10.as fixed by the
senate. The report was agreed to.

Peter Veregin occupies a somewhat

For many years Mr.. White has been re-
garded as an authority on South Ameri-
can affairs. He considers the present
situation in Venezuela as ominous in the
extreme. He declares that Germany's
attitude toward Venezuela is part Of a
carefully laid plan to get a foothold some-S
where in South America and that there is
to be no turning back until the Monroe
Doctrine has been shattered.
Mr.. White says that in 1896 Germany
had all of South America carefully mapped
and that her line Of action, in the event
Of hostilities, had been decided on.
She has placed Venezuela, he says. In
a position where the best settlement she
can make is to give Germany mort
gage on the country on which she cannot
even pay the interest. Between owning
the country by conquest or owning it by
an irremovable mortgage, Mr.. White can
see little difference.
The first thing that Mr.. White did on
his return here last. week was to write a
alton. It is in part:

lation of South America misiudge the
