GARMENTS CONVENTION.
National Nesting Of the Brothsrhood st
Horton Monday.

National Meeting of the BrotherhOOd ct
Horton Monday
The Brotherhood of Railroad Carmen
Of America on the Rock Island, held a
convention at Horton last week. It was
a national convention, but instead Of
being divided by states, It IS divided BY
railroad systems. The carmen on each
system look after the interest of their
members who work on that system.
Delegates from all over the Rock Island
system were in attendance, and sessions
were held both Monday and Tuesday.
A. E. Freeman, Of GOOdlznd, repre-
sented the members of the order at this
place.
The schedule granted the carmen las,
July BY the management Of the railroad
was complied with by both the carmen
and the company. F. L. Ronemus is
grand chief carman Of the brotherhood,
and Mrs. Marie Ronemus is president
Of the Royal Star Auxiliary to the car
mems organization of America.
Much interest was taken in all the
meetings, and there Is a growing ten
dency among the carmen to better the
condition industrially and socially
The Rock Island company has dealt
fairly and honestly by their carmen and
in return are receiving the best efforts
Of the men IN that department.
At Tuesdays session Of the conven-
ton, the officers Of the protective board,
which has jurisdiction from FL PasO to
Minneapolis, and from Denver TO Chi
cagO, were chosen, with II. Y. Brown,
chairman; A. E. Freeman, vice chair
man, and G. L. Jack, secretary and
treasurer.

AsouT THE vERoIcT.
What the NswEpapers q .orthuest Kan
Eas SAY of the Dewey AcquIttnL

what the Newspapers q EorthWest Kan
uls say q the Dewey AequittaL
Since the verdict Of the Norton coun-
~ jury seems 10 be in conflict with the
evidence In the Dewey murder trial,
popular opinion is very much aroused
The newspapers Of northwest Kan
sss said Of the verdict Of acquittal:
The verdict SCENE to be very unPoP-
ular, and while every man on the jury
may have been strictly honest IN his
opinion, the public VIII never believe
it.-PhiIliPsburE Herald.
The next thing IN order now for
Chauncey Dewey TO do, is 10 give a
banquet to the jury that acquitted him
of one Of the most foul murders that
has ever been PerPetrated in western
Kansas.-Oberlin Times.
A man with a million dollars Is in no
more danger Of being convicted Of
murder IN Kansas than he is Of being
translated to heaven IN a wheelbarrOw.
Russell Record.
Such decisions as this contribute very
largely 10 the taking Of the law into
their own hands by those outraged OF
afronted, both by encouraging lawless
action on the part OF the stronger by
immunity from punishment by the
courts, and lawless retaliation BY mobs
IN the belief that no redress may be
lawfully obtained. No one doubts that
a crime was committed There is no
doubt as to who committed the crime.
A jury has Just said that the crime
shall go UNPUBLISHED. This Is a dan
gerOus condition Of Affairs, and may
lead 10 serious trouble.-Oberlin Eve.
Many other expressions against the
verdict, and the condemnation Of the
Deweys, could be brought TO show that
in the minds Of the people justice has
been outraged and a blot left upon the
history Of northwest Kansas

JOHN FEHR IS DEAD.


John Fehr, g. years OF age, and an
old resident Of Union township, died
Tuesday morning. As he was a single
man and without relatives known to his
neighbors, L. HOIlenbeck, trustee Of
the township, took the body in charge
and arranged for the burial. DR.. A c.
Gulick was called to see Fehr Monday,
but the patient was beyond the help Of
medical aid. The attending physician
said that he died from a complication
Of diseases, but that death was directly
due to pneumonia
The old man was looked upon BY his
neighbOrs and those who knew any
thing about him, as a peculiar old
bachelor. He had told his most init
mate acquaiRtances that the only rels-
tive he knew Of that was living was an
uncle who lived in the east, and that he
had not heard from him for years
Fehr used to make the rounds Of Good
land occasionally for old iron, rubber
and brass. which ne sold to manufac-
turers.
The only property that he leaves IS a
COW, team of horses, and his $50 acres
of land.
For the last two or three years, Mr..
Hollenbeck has been the assessor IN
Union township, and when he would
ask the old man his age he would
always say that he was IS. He never
grew any old than that, and taking IS
as his age two years ago, his age at his
death was figured as 81
