Tried to Kill the President.

On the morning of October 5th man
by the name of Peter Elliot called at the
White House and asked to see the Presi-
dent. When questioned as to the ma
ture Of his business he became violent
and was taken under arrest and searched.
There was found on his person pair of
shears, pocket knife and a revolver of
small bull dog pattern. He resisted
arrest and it took three men to overpow-
er him. In the struggle to capture him,
he and one of the officers (Cisseil) fell
through a window and both were se-
verely cut by the glass, and were both
taken to the emergency hospital. The
man Elliot proved upon examination to
be insane. He is Swede about 35
years of age and says his home is in
Minneapolis, and 1t was learned that he
was a machinist by uade. He will be
kept under guard for further examina-
ton,

.Irrigatlon.

The Irrigation Congress which met at
Ogden on the 18th to 18th of September
1908, was very successful gathering of
intelligent men of the nation, and es-
pecially of the west and great good has
been done and is being done by the eff
forts Of these men. 1t has been truly
said that "he who causes two blades of
grass to grow, where only one grew be.
fore is philanthropist and benefactor
to his country. Viewing the subject
from this standpoint there is no end to
the good that all those who are
advocating, promoting and instructing
the people in the benefits to be derived
from irrigation in the arid and semi arid
lands of the west. We hope they will
keep on until the government, and the
people at large, acquire a full under
standing of the subject, and become as
enthusiastic on the question as these
men are. When such is the case it will
not be long before the great American
desert will be yielding its wealth of fruits
and flowers and yellow fields of grain.
There are in America millions Of hands
that want acres, and millions of acres
that want hands, and irrigation will
solve the problem and afford happy
homes to the thousands who in the
crowded cities of the east are leading a
life little better than slavery from which
there is no delivery save in the arid lands
of the west.

Died..

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. F.
Harris, in Custer City, on Sunday, the
4th of October, 1903, Miss Sena Hanson,
aged Is years.
Little could be learned in regard to
this young lady, as Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
are both absent from the city, and our
information is therefore quite meagre.
She came to Custer some three months
ago for her health, being afflicted with
consumption in its advanced stage, to late
to receive the benefit of our climate
which has gained such an enviable repu-
tation as being favorable to the lungs.
She was stranger, and asked as favor
that she might board with the Harris
family, as it was more quiet and home
like. Her death was quite sudden, as
her disease was complicated with heart
trouble and the altitude was probably to
high for her in her weakened condition.
She received every care and attention
which friendly hearts and hands could
bestow, but it was very sad to die away
from her home among strangers. We
understand that her home is near Lin
coin, Neb., from which place her broth
er, upon being notified, came up and
took the remains to their home for
burial.
The old must die, and the young will
sometimes die, for nature which seems
30 kind at times and 30 cruel at other
times, is in fact neither kind nor cruel,
but her laws are fixed laws and we must
accept them as just. Yes, even when
they separate the soul from the body,
for after all it is but step to higher
life and there comes time to everyone
when the earth will claim its own, and
J the freed spirit rejoices to be free.

Lynching.

1t is undoubtedly true that the news
papers all over the country are the great
est moulders of public opinion and WELD
mighty force in educating the people
in upholding the majesty of the law. and
in restraining men from acts of violence.
Still, though all the papers proclaim
against the taking of human life without
due process Of law it seems there is a
limit to their influence. There are cer-
tain kinds of crimes and certain kinds OF
criminals that are 80 outrageous that
they arouse the feelings of whole com.
munities to such pitch that they can
not brook the laws delay. The people
take the law into their own hands and
it seems that as these acts of provocation
do not cease or grow less, unlawful kill
ing and lynching is on the increase.
These things occur not only in the south
among the negros, but all over the north
as well, and We may as well acknowledge
that our boasted civilization is far from
perfect, and we are far from being law
abiding people,

Klckers.

There are in every community chronic
kickers, (the new name is knockers).
They are persons whose dispositions
have been soured by failure, or else they
are those who are so full of pufe cussed-
ness that they can't help It. They are
very detrimental to the interests of a
community generally, because they are
as class of unreasoning and kick just
as we'll without a cause as with one.
Very little regard is paid to these chron-
ic kickers GENERALLY, as they are known
as cranks and "knock" Unfortunately
at everything whether it be right or
wrong, meritorious or otherwise, and
find no good in anything. They are of
ten very damaging when they catch the
ear Of stranger, whose listening ears
take in the doleful representations, and
often they lay the foundation of a bale
full prejudice which no future argument
can mitigate or anrll. This being a free
country it is hard to head these fellows
off, and their untruthful bowling make
them mar plots and very Improbable
citizens of the common wealth.
In saying all this we do not mean to
be understood that an acquieseDce in
every proposition is tommendable, for
in the life Of every community there are
times mot often but occasionally when
it becomes good citizen to make kick.
There are in most all towns, Cities, and
even mining camps, what ere for the
want of better name known as "hogs.'
They are generally pushing, energetic
characters, and it is their greei that
makes them so, and If allowed, they
carry it out to nm extent that makes
them aggressive and predatory and care
less of the right of their neighbors. If
they move into settlement and take
land they try to gobble all the land in
sight and their selfshness is such that
they are not willing "to live and let live ,
If they 60 hunting they want to kill all
the game in the country. If they 60
fishing they want ell the fish in the
creek, and as they are generally un-
scrupulous they will employ dynamite
to further their ends. If they 60 into
the saw mill and lumber business they
commence by cutting down all the tim
ber within miles around them, and as
they cannot use it up they let it rot.
They have accomplished their purpose
Il. e.) to bar out anyone else from get
ting any. If they get into mining
camp they want all in sight and run
rough shod over their neighbors and
pay no attention to other peoples lines,
stakes, notices or anything else. When
such people get into camp or COM
munity they will bear watching, and
there comes time when those who OBJ
ject to being robbed must kick.
Yes, it is then that kicking becomes a
virtue, and the one that kicks the hard
est and the most promptly is the best
fellow. You have to kick, for If you
don't they will bind you hand and foot
and trample you into the ground, and
woe be to the good, peaceful citizen who
postpones his kicking too long.

school Notes.
THE HIGH SCHOOL ROOM.

The hIGh SChOOL hOOM.
We were very pleased on entering our
room this term by the pleasant appear
ance it presented. AS our school board
have replaced the old much worn and
ink stained floor by new one, and they
have also kalsomihed the ceilings.
The High School pupils have formed
the Opus Literary Chapter in connec-
ton with the school work. The society
will meet and give program the first
and third Fridays of each month. The
grades gotten by each one for work done
in this society will 60 on our monthly
grade of Rhetoricals.
The ninth grade especially the begin
ners have puzzled their brains for the
past month over Algebra and Latin. But
now that the second month has begun
and we fairly understand the work we
expect better grades.
The tenth grade have been having
hard times with their Geometry and
Ceaser.
THE PLAY GROUNDS.
The boys of the High School and
Grammar departments have made foot
ball ground back of the school yard and
are now getting along nicely in this
game.
A few days ago two of the Seniors
could have been seen various articles
such as spades, shovels, pals and lime
and at the same time strenuous efforts
were used in digging post holes. Now
all this confusion and work had an end
in view, and in the southwestern corner
of the school yard there is now a spa
cious tennis court where some interest
ing games are carried on. One Of the
very essential and amusing parts Of this
game is the line of small boys, who when
the ball falls outside the fence scramble
nimbly after it.
In the southeastern corner of the
school yard there is nice croquet
ground where four of the high school
girls amuse themselves at recesses.
There are some very lively games carri-
ed on in this corner of the grounds, es-
pecially when some of the small boys
who bring their dinners to school are
caught playing croquet without leave or
license. \.

The statistics show that there are now
employed in the mines Of every descrip-
ton all over the world, 4,75O0O0 men.
These men support directly 3O,OOO,00O
persons. This is not such surprising num-
ber, but when we come to consider the
fact that the raw material brought to the
surface by these delivers underground
from the basis of most all other manu-
factories, We can then begin to realize
the importance of the mining industry
to civilization.

In Custer City, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Lilly Fee, Mrs. frances
Hoglan, whose residence is about ten
miles northwesterly from Custer.
Mrs. Hogan was born in Center Point,
Iowa, in 1888, and died October 4, 1908,
aged 65 years. She was married Sept,
9th, 1868, to Phillip Hoglan and resided
in Linn county until about ten years
ago when the family removed to Custer,
largely on account of Mrs. Hoglan's
health. She was the mother of
ten children of whom four boys and
three girls survive to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Hogan was said to be the first
white child born in Linn county, Iowa,
and was feared among the surroundings
of pioneer life and was good wife and
q kind and affectionate mother. Hers
was useful life, and she descends to the
grave like shuck of corn that is fully
ripe. Her duty Welt and faithfully per-
formed, her life we'll spent, she was
ready for the change, and we are justifi.
ed in the belief that all such are made
happier by the change. 1t is natural to
weep and grieve when our loved ones
depart, but we should only grieve for
ourselves and not for them who haye pass
ed to higher and happier state, and
what we call death is but an incident in
life. A step to a higher and advanced
existence, and change that should not
be looked upon as an affliction to him or
her who passes through the gate but in
all respects blessing. Mrs. Hoglan be-
longed to the Christian church, but the
funeral services were performed by Rev.
Katherine w. Powell, pastor of the Con-
gregational church of Custer, and the re-
mains were consigned to rest in the Gus
ter cemetery.
