Intent to Kill.

On Monday County Attorney Tincher
on complaint Of VIM. r. Fishburn.
swore out warrant for the arrest OF
Robert Flshburn charging him with
assault with intent to kill and murder
his father, the said VIM r. Fishburn.
1t seems that Robert and his sire had
difficulty and that the son picked up
an ak and went after the father In a
threatening way. Mr.. Fishburn made
complaint to the county attorney who
forthwith caused a warrant to issue
out OF Justice Collins court. Robert
heard Of the arrest and made tracks in
a northwesterly direction. Sheriff
Haun deputized the mail carrier to ar
rest him and he will probably be ar
raigned before Judge Collins today if
found.
This is not the first time the father
and son have disagreed. but IL has
never before been 80 serious.

HER REPUTATION SUSTA INED.
Barber County, As Usual, Has Congress
sionaI Timber.

Although e. Q. Chandler did not land
in the political yacht race at Great
Bend. another Barber county man is
in the congressional skirmish this
spring. Hon. AndrewRoessler was nom.
mated by the socialists at Hutchinson
March 3O.h. Mr.. Rcessler is a we'll. to dc
farmer In Valley township. He is past
90 years of age but ia strong. vigorous
and combatiye. He was Populist lead
er from the Organi Zation of the party
until 1898, when he parted company
with that party on account of it's policy
In uniting with the democrats. Since
that time Mr. Roessler has been teach
ing Socialism and in that capacity has
succeeded in bringing conviction to
several who became interested in the
socialist ethics. He is a veteran In
the reform movement and has given
the subject great deal of deep thought.
His literary attainments are equal to
those of most men in public life in
Kansas today.
Whatever may be said of Uncle
Andy's political affiliations in his
time, it must be conceded that he is
sincere and honest and consistent. He
Will not come anyways near polling a
large vote in the district because too
few people understand or endorse the
socialist doctrine. but nevertheless we
are proud that Barber county citizen
has been thus hOnOred.

Babb is the chairman OF the Popul,st

which the two congressional com

The City Election.

The city election passed off 80 quietly
Monday that probably majority of the.
voters didn't know it was election day.
There were, as usual, some scattering
votes but the Citizens Ticket was
the only one on the ballot, and it fol-
lows that ali Of the candidates on the
ticket were elected. The total vote cast
was 100.
The vote:
L. L. Lindley ey........... 80,

Mr.. Ewalt had declined to accept the
nomination but few days before the
election lot of citizens urged him so
strong that he finally consented to
serve.
On election day II. H. Cases name was
sprung on the quiet without his knowl-
edge or consent and he received q
votes which otherwise would have been
cast for Ewalt. The objection to Mr..
Ewalt, we understand arose on election
morning on account OF the stand he
took on several live and progressive
questions. There Is very little sense in
persuadlng business man to accept
such an empty honor as councilman.
and then turning and trying to ac-
complish his defeat ON election day.
Among the scattering votes Dr. Aver
received for mayor. Somebody
who didn't like Judge Collins adminis-
tration voted for Mrs. Timis and G.. J.
Southworth for police judge Jack
Davis, A. w. Smith, Gene Youmans..
Al Shannon. Ben Vaughn, Adam Jack
son, E. L. Brewer ana r. E. Kathren
were voted for for councilman.

Concerning the work of women on
newspapers and the effect of the work
on women. Kate Masterson writes in
the Era Magazine:
Not a few of the women who have
gained notable success in the news
paper field within the past decade have
graduated into higher literature, such
as play writing and story telling, and
have thus achieved additional reputa.
tion. Others have sunk the undoubted
promise of their future into the more
pleasant paths of domestic life.
The question of the suitability OF
the journalistic field for women is one
which may be looked at from many
vantage points. Where there are so
many who have made successes in this
line, who shall say that II is not de.
sirable one? The same rule applies TO
this as to every other walk of life re-
quiring good health and nerves, grit,
perseverance and steady, earnest, in
dustry. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the work of journalism is a DIFF.
ficult one even for men, A woman
over-sensitive and not of good consti.
tuition, and, above all, without plenty
of pluck, nigh better choose some 9TH
er arena for her battle with life than
a newspaper Office.
There are, of course, numerous de-
partments of the work, such as book
reviewing, art criticism, fashion writ
ing and the like that are admirably
conducted by women who are rarely
brought in contact with the actual life
of the Office and it's politics, but these
positions are the plums that do not fall
in every lap but are apt to come as
rewards for harder work in other fields
THE almost constant association
with men in the reportorial department
of paper, the discipline of the Office,
the late and irregular hours as well
as the nature of the work itself are not
calculated to increase the gentleness or
reserve of woman's nature, while, on
the other hand, all these are factors
which will educate and broaden the
mind and familiarize the woman writ
er with life in its real and varied as
poets.
But there is an undoubted tendency
toward the deadly blight of new wom-
anism' to the girl in this work which
it is difficult to escape. There are un-
doubtedly women who have preserved
their womanliness, not of soul but
of manner through years of journals
tic work; work which has taken them
into scenes unpleasant to look upon
and more unpleasant to write of. They
have learned to accustom themselves to
the unconventionality of Office work
and the frequent brusqueness of edi-
tors, understanding that the present at
titude OF men employed upon a paper
is one of kindness, good fellowship and
sympathy for the woman workers on
the staff"

Prayer Healing Sustained.

BY his decision on the Eva Earl case
in the police court, Judge Dick has es-
tablished the right of persons to en-
gage in the business of praying at the
bedside of sick persons, for certain
fee.
The defendant, Eva Earl, was arrest
ed some time ago on the charge of
violating the medical laws of the state
by practicing medicine without a IL
cense. The person was Mrs. Prentiss
Of Valley Crossing, now deceased.
In passing upon the case Judge
Dick said the whole question hinged
upon the word treatment" as used
in the statutes. He reviewed the testi-
mony in the case, and said that there
were fees paid the defendant; accord
ing to the testimony she was to receive
SIS for her first visit and SO for subse-
quent visits.
The evidence showed that the only
treatment was that the defendant
kneeled by the bed of the sick person
and prayed; this, while it may not
have done any good for the sick won.
an, evidently did no harm. The Judge
said he did not believe the law con-
templated restricting prayer, even
though the person doing the prayer re-
ceived a fee; he took 1t that the law
was meant to apply to persons treat.
ing" invalids, where there was no skill
and where an injury might follow.
After dwelling to some length as to
the right of a sick person, or the
friends of sick person. to call in any
one for the purpose of praying. Judge
Dick dismissed the defendant -Colum.

Out of His Glass,

"There was dog fight going on Just
around the corner out Of sight" ex.
planned the man who was telling the
story, and who always sees the funny
side of life. Back Of me, coming as
fast as his little legs could carry him,
was a small dog not much bigger than
a rat. AS n matter of fact the biggest
thing about him was his bark, but his
every action seemed to say: oh, I do
hope that scrap won't be over before

in sight of the fight at the same mo.

mix-up. and not one of them was
smaller than calf. The way that
small dog suddenly stopped, took one
look and then turned and legged it for
home caused me to laugh aloud. He
acted as If he lad suddenly rcmem.
