FAMILY ANNIHILATED.
Father and Three Sons Killed in Bat
tie With Cowboys.


McCook, Neb., June 5.-Meager de-
tails of the humiliation of almost a
whole family have been received from
st. Francis, Kan. 1t seems that for
some time there has been bad feeling
between men employed by the Dewar
Cattle company and family named
Berry over the possession of certain
land. Berry and his four sons are
said to have engaged in a battle with
cowboys which resulted in the death
of the father and three of the sons, the
fourth being seriously wounded.
Whether anyone on the opposite side
was killed or wounded has not been
learned.
Land had been taken up by Old
Man Berry as a homestead. The
fences of the cattle company inter-
fered with his passage to and from the
roads. Wire cutting on the part Of
the Berry family in order to get the
shortest possible road to town is said
to have been the original cause Of the
quarrel: The cowboys on the Dewar
ranch had threatened to kill the fam

In Nearly Every Language "God Bless
You" Is In Vogue.
1t is very curious thing thai
all over the world there exists the
same superstition in regard to the
apparently trivial matter of sneez-
ing. In nearly every language I'M
der the sun there is some equivalent
Of the "God bless youp with which
our Oldest inhabitants in the coun-
try still salute the person who
sneezes. To this salutation in
France is added sometimes the
phrase, "and preserve you from the
fate of Tycho Brahe," who is be-
lieved to have got rid Of "death
Of cold'' by a single sneeze, which
killed him. In England regular
formula is used "Once for wish,
twice for a kiss, three times for a
letter and four times for a disap-
pointment."
In Italy the salutation is simply
''Felcitap' or 'SMay you be fortu-
mattel" In India it is customary
when one sneezes to say, "May you
livew and the reply runs, "Long
life to youp' Should Hindoo
chance to sneeze while he is going
through his peculiar ablution prac-
tees in the Ganges he will make a
kind Of sign over his face, stop in
his ritual and begin all over again.
In ancient times the Romans,
holding the idea that sneezing be-
tween noon and midnight was a
good omen, believed that between
midnight and noon it was most I'M
lucky, and if they should chance to
sneeze while getting up in the morn
ing they would at once get into bed
again.
The Germans say, ''Good health!'
because they maintain, and not
without reason, that sneezing is a
warning Of approaching catarrh
and also marks the moment when a
charm, a wish or a suggestion may
drive it away. The Persians go fur
ther in this idea. They say what
practically amounts to THANK
Cod" because they consider that
the sneeze has actually driven away
some evil spirit that has attempted
to get into a mans body. to feed
upon his sacred fires.
The people of the Amazulu go
even further than this into super
stition and arrive at the stage of
actual devil worship. No doubt
they would style it angel Worship"
but the things to which these SO
called angels are supposed to lend
themselves put that high sounding
name quite out of the question.
Their uncivilized familiar spirits
are said to give some sign when
they are near and able to hear their
votaries.

Oldest Pieces Of Iron In the World.

The Oldest pieces of wrought iron

LOOKING FOR A CANDIDATE.

The political correspondent of the
Spattle Mail and Herald says:
"WhiIe on the presidential tour
through the state. some Of the adher-
ents Of Senator Ankeny started the
talk Of a new candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor. in
the person of Mayor Gilbert Hunt Of
Walla WalIa In this talk it was eX-
planned that Mayor Hunt is a man of
large business interests, a man who
has never been compelled to expose
his position on railroad and corpora
zion matters. who is popular in his
own community. and who at the same
time is very satisfactory to the rail
road wing Of the party. 1t is also
explained that Hunt accepted the Of
fee Of mayor at a sacrifice of his
business interests in order to
strengthen and unity the party in
WaIla Walla county. and also that he
has worked Loyalty and persstently
in the interests Of Ankeny. This last
may or may not be considered an ele
ment of strength. as one views the sit

but who is ostensibly in sympathy
with the interests Of the agricultural
class in Eastern Washington They
know that the nomination of such a
man as Doc Smith, late president of
the lobby-ridden state senate. would
provoke an open revolt among the re-
publican voters east of the Cascades
and make this section of the state
solidly democratic.
1t is practically certain that the
democrats Of the state will take
strong ground in favor of a commits
sion bill and the just taxation of cor
porations. and on such a platform the
logical candidate would be Senator
Tolman Of Spokane. author of the
commission bill defeated by the late
Ankeny-StevensOn legislature. In that
event the democratic nominee would
have a cinch unless there be pitted
against him a candidate whose non

ROOSEVELT AND MCBRIDE.

Dave 11dIlIutE, lue IOlItlSIdu VI
the Spokesman-Review, says:
"A systematic attempt is being
made to misrepresent and dIstOrt
what President Roosevelt said in his
Spokane speech about railroads and
steamship lines. The newspapers en-
gagged in this effort include the Port
land OregOnian. the Walla Walla I'm
ion. the Daily Olympian and the
Whatcom ReveiIle. The three latter
papers are closely identified with the
railroad lobby. which explains their
attitude. Inasmuch, however, as the
men who are responsible for their ut
terances have many patronage irons
in the fire. it would seem that they
are on dangerous ground. 1t is not to
be supposed that the president will
view with favor deliberate misrepre
sensations of what he said.
AS a matter of fact what the presi-
dent said in praise of the corporations
in question was but preface to
vigorous declaration that they must
be made to obey the law. and that in
violating it they were more culpable
and more foolish than the poor who
violate it. 1t was a repetition Of the
speeches which he has made else
where in the country, and which has
called down upon his head the wrath
OF corporation rings similar to the
one which exists in this state.
The presidents Spokane utterance
was intended as reference to his
fight against the Northern Securities
Company. Nobody who heard it doubts
that and nobody in Spokane who
heard the speech has claimed that it
was intended as an unqualified express
sion of approval of the methods of
corporations. 1t has remained for the
organs Of the railroad lobby to put
that construction upon it,"
There is no reason to doubt that
President Roosevelt is in full sym
pathy with the stand made by Govern
or Mcbride against the Hill-M0rgan
merger and against the corrupt rail
way lobby of this state. Roosevelt
gave Ankeny and Foster TO understand
at the Tacoma banquet that ne would
far rather be whole president for
three and half years than half
president for seven years. Remem-
Der that The president must know
that Mcbride is the some sort of
man as himself-that he is the whole
thing as governor regardless of what
the effect may be on his political fu-
ture. It is a safe prediction, there
fore, that hereafter the wishes of Gov
ernOr Mcbride will be given much
weight by the president in making
federal appointments for this state.
The president is discerning enough
TO know that Senators Ankeny and
Foster are opposed to his policy in
dealing with the railway merger and
other trusts and he is not likely to
put water on their wheel by giving
them complete control Of the federal
patronage Of this state Already he
has turned them down in several no.
table cases, and if he should be re
elected for a second term. he will give
them more proofs Of his absolute in
dependence.
