LANGUAGE is FINISHED.

The Irish language has been spoken
for over 1000 years, and was a finished
speech before any of the modern Eu-
rOpean tongues were Hsped. 1t has an
extensive vocabulary of some $4,000
words and is especially adapted to the
formation of new words out of old ones
and of 'Irishing" foreign elements. The
claim is made for it that IL linguistical
value it ranks next to Sanscrit. It's MS

to Moscow, is Of immense extent; the

the value of the heritage which so
many of them so lightly priced. In
1881 irish was spoken in Ireland by
100000 people. Their number, before
the formation of the Gaelic League,
had dwindIed to 100000.
1t IS no mere sentimental feeling, or
love of scholarship. which prompts the
efforts of the league which is so sue

cultivation of Ireland's ancient Ian

nationality, be preserved.
Practically" says one writer. the
whole history of our country during
the nineteenth century has been one of
slow but steady growth in Ireland of
English thought, manners, customs,

Ireland proceeds apace and will pro
coed unless she reverts once more to
the speech which preserved her from il

stem the tide which bids fair to swamp
her."
NATURALIZATION DESIRED.
What the Gaelic League really aims
at is to accomplish by educational
means that which instructions and

failed to attain-the naturalization Of

Hail With Gang Of Men when Acct

Ceberai HemOrrhage.

Leeman DOugherty, carpenter, en-
plOyed on the Masonic hall building, in
process Of construction, received a
death blow on the head at nine O'Clock
Monday morning by, the falling of a
horse" from the floor of the second
story. A ''lOok OUT yell preceded the
dropping of the timber, but before
DOugherty could get away It struck
him on the head, knocking him down,
and as he fell the back of his head
came in hard contact with a fOur-by-
four, which was lying on the ground.
He was carried to DR.. Carmichael's Of
fee IN an unconscious condition, and
died at about nine o'clock in the even
ing of cerebal hemouhage, never hav-
ing regained consciousness.
The brick work on the front of the
building was up to the second story,
and the carpenters under the direction
of the Filers were placing the heavy
iron pillars in position before the upper
wall of brick should be laid. In hoist
ing these the horse was put in use above,
and as the men, IN lifting one of the
pillars, were pulling on the pulley rope,
the horse gave from its fastenings and
came tumhling down.

DEATHs FRoM scARLETINA.
The Dread Disease RObs the J. J. Knight
Home OF Two Little Girls.

Maggie Knight, the two-year- old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. il. Knight,
died Monday morning of scarlet fever,
after an illness of four days. The old
adage IS, misfortunes never comesingly,
and it IS sad and true IN this incident,
for, on Tuesday afternoon Mamie, their
nine-year-OId daughter, who was taken
sick the day before her little sister, also
died with the same disease, leaving the
home desOlate, and, such as only can
be appreciated by those who have pass
ed through like experience.
There is no death quite so sad as
that of a little child, unless It be that
of the mother of young children. The
tiny hands have so close a touch upon
the heart strings, and the wee ones
presence fills the home so completely
that the hopes and ambitions of all the
household becomes wrapped up in the
future of the little one.
Now these two lie side by side in the
Shermanville cemetery, a spot now sa-
cred to more hearts than ever before.
ms burial ground IS only a mile dis
tant from the Knight country place,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Knight felt that they
had rather have their loved ones inter
red near the old home
The school children contributed gen
erously of the finest flowers in the
Goodland homes, and the people of our
city are touched with deep regret at the
taking away of the children by the
dreaded infection.
Nellie Knight, who is II years of age
and was the first to have the scarlet
fever, is rapidly recovering.

Crawford, our candidate for county
treasurer:
I'VE notice from the Goodland, Kan,
Republic, that T. P. Crawford is the
democratic nominee for county treas
urer, with a fair prospect of election.
IF the good people of that county knew
Tom Crawford as we do, he world

young and grew up among our people.
with whom he was always a general
favOrite. He served Bates county four
years as deputy county clerk, faithfully
and efficiently. He was honorable and
upright in all his dealings, courteous
and clever in his intercourse, and the
people Of that county will make no mis-
take in electing him treasurer
Mr.. Crawford lived in Bates county
nineteen years, and the Times editor
ought to know what ne is talking about.
Among all the people Of Sherman
county, a more suitable man than Tom
Crawford can hardly be found.

SECOND REPORT TO TIE PUBLIC.
In RI Counties Out Of - Examined There

Astounding developments are being

shortages were all in the interest paid
by cities, townships and counties on
bonds held and owned by the state in
the sacred, permanent school fund In
every case the moneys had been paid
on the coupons, a receipt given and the
coupons cashed but no credit given on
the books of the treasurer's Office
The counties where the shortages oc-
cur are: Allen, Barber, Coffee, Cowley,
Ford, Geary, Linn, Lyon, Nemaha,
Mcpherson, Republic, Rice, Reno,
Smith, Sedgwick, Woodson, Pratt, in
the late counties lately investigated,
and in the ones previouly reported,
Johnson, Dickinson, Finney and Morris
counties. The largest shortages occur
in the payment of interest in COwley
county. This county alone has paid
s, $40 to the state which is not account
ed for, and three townships have paid
SI,O15 more, making a fatal Of nearly
5000 in COwleY county alone.
Over s, 800 of Reno county payments
are not accounted for, and Mcpherson
county has lost over s., 100 somewhere.
Allen county has paid over s., 500 into
the state treasury which has not been
accounted for. The Pratt county short
ages occur on coupons which were
sent by State Treasurer Kelly to the ifs

the Garden City coupons These and
the Wichita shortages are parallel with
the Garden City shortage, except that
the mysterious "A. r. Brown" has not
returned the money on the Pratt and

them IS still absent from the state treas
ury. Space forbids the publishing of
