MANY. USES FOR a DEN.

"If.we can get our den fixed up and
sur dining ROOM" said girl about to
be married, I'D be satisfied. Then we
could go on collecting our other furni-
ture at our leisure and get our home
all furnished gradually. It's lots nicer
taking ones time about choosing
things which have got to last a life
time than TO rush off and get them all
in a hurry.
"You see, your first home is like
your husband You want them both
to last just as long as they possibly
can. OF course, if fortune favors one
and one becomes very rich, it is nice to
be able to replace plain things with
more costly ones. But my idea is this:
WI are going to fix up our home gradu-
ally. We can't afford as things are
now to buy everything we want at
once.
1.-THE den, you know, is where we
shall probably spend most of our time.
We would entertain our friends there
even if we had a parlor, and then
when we are alone we will read and
work there. I've determined that there
shall be no room in the wide, wide
world more comfortable imam our den.
Most people consider that one of the
non essentials in life is den, but next
to the kitchen and the dining room,
consider it of prime Importance. It's
going to be our living room.
1T will be a combination of loung-
ing room, library, sewing room, smok-
ing room and parlor, and it is going to
be able to adapt itself to any of those
uses. We will put in our desks, and
the little tea table, where we can make
our Welsh rabbits of a winters even
ing and where | can brew my friends
cup of tea when they call on me in
the afternoon. I'll have great, wide
couch for the comfort of our guests
and ourselves, and all Of our books will
be found on the shelves in our den
bookcases.
please don't mistake my meaning
our den is only going to serve those
dozen different uses temporarily. or
until we can get the incest little draw
ing room--I would not scrimp that for
anything. You see, only one person in
a dozen ever reaches the point where
it is wise to discard the dining room
furniture. My mother, for instance, is
using to-day the dining tables that she
aqd papa started housekeeping with.
Talmost believe she would consider it
bad luck to change it for something

DIVORCE.

When in San Francisco the Proves
tant Episcopal church failed III gen
eral convention to take advanced
ground on the subject of marriage and
divorce, the deputy from the diocese
of New York, who is now the bishop
coadiutor Of New York, arose and ask
ed if something might not be saved
out of the wreck. He then proposed a
Joint conference with other religious
bodies, The committee was named;
and to date fourteen Protestant bodies
have Joined These bodies include all
of the large ones, excluding the DIS
ciples of Christ. but including the
small Universalist and Unitarian ones.
They have just issued an appeal and
address to the Christian public OF
America. In it little that is new IS
said. Indeed, the address IS chdrac-
terized as weak, partly because it pre-
sents nothing new, and partly because
it suggests nothing that is radical.
Those who claim to know say the
committees representing these various
bodies are hopelessly at sea, in so far
as agreement OH vital points goes.
Their own aim now is to induce min
listers of their respective bodies to
obey laws laid down by their own re-
spective authorities.
The points of the address just IS
sued are that there is Mormonism in
effect if not in name outside of Utah;
that it is needful to impress upon peo-
pie the sanctity OF the marriage bond
before there can come proper regard
for. it; and that the inter-church con-
ference is itself studying remedies
which it hopes later on to present to
the Christian public. Hartford

BEEF TRUST ROBS
FARMERS WIVES
CONTINUED from first page. ]

CONTINUED from first page.
The beef trust makes practice of "bidding
up" prices against exporters, and then letting
the exporter have the cattle at the higher prices.
Every extra dollar the trust can force out of its
opponents weakens competition.
TRUST OWNS REFRIGERATOR CARS.
The beef trust controls the beef industry of
America because it owns the refrigerator cars.
The independent packer is helpless; the live
stock producer is at its mercy, and because the
trust owns the cars. The railways do not own
or operate refrigerator cars. They, too, are to
a great extent dependent upon the dictates of
the trust.
By gaining monopoly on refrigerator cars,
the trust placed itself in position to dictate
freight rates; to compel rebates; to force the
railways to violate the interstate commerce
law.
Independent shippers of meat, eggs, fruit,
potatoes, poultry, ETC., are forced to pay charges
that take away the profits, put them out as
competitors and pay fees to strengthen the
trust. The trust assesses its enemies-makes
them supply the ammunition to be used against
themselves. The beef trust-openly defyng
the law-forces its allies in the railway trust to
charge twice as much for the transportation of
live stock as is charged for dressed beef carried
in trust cars.
The arrangements between the railroad COM
panies and the car lines are secret.
It is declared by railway men that the beef
trust receives rebates not only on its own goods
but on the goods of others carried in their cars
over railways. This is in open violation of the
laws of the United States, yet no move is being
made to stop it.
Heads of the selling departments of Swift,
Armour, Morris and the National hold daily
meeting to consider the selling prices of meats.
These meetings are in direct violation of the
nju notion issued by Judge Grosscup.
Many bauk failures and numerous suicides
have been caused by the beef trust. In Iowa
alone, there haye been twenty-five bank failures
and six suicides during the past year.
These are only few items of the Infamous
acts of the beef trust. We could fill this pa
per with similar items, but the foregoing is
sufficient to show the pfamy of the beef trust.

HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
TWO OF OUR BEST CITIZENS LOSE THEIR LIVES

The people of Garnctt were shocked,
Monday morning, by the news that
Joshua Cook and AL Buchtel had been
run over by the Missouri Pacific freight
train going east. AS soon as the ne WIS
reached town, a crowd of people, in all
sorts oil vehickles, went to the scene of
the accident. where Fourth avenue cross
SEES the railroad. This is the same place
where Mrs. Moberlv lost her life over
two years ago.
Messrs. Cook and Buchtel had started
to John Moberly's place, to attend the
sale. They rode in Mr. Cooks one horse
wagon. Nobody was near enough when
the accident occurred to give detained
account of the accident. George V.
Smith was driving some distance behind
them. and saw them as they nearcd the
railroad. He saws the men appeared to
be earnestly talking. and, although the
engineer whistled before reaching the
crossing, the men did not stop the horse,
but drove ahead. Mr.. Smith we under
stand, did not see the engine strike the
wagon, and thought they had crossed
the railroad in safety. However, the
train stopped, and when Mr.. Smith
reached the crossing, he found that the
engine had struck the wagon. tearing it
to pieces. and the men apparently killed
Mr.. Cook landed on the pilot of the en-
gine, and was carried from two to three
hundred feet. Mr. Buchtel was thrown
some distance, over the right of way.
The two unfortun ite men were
brought to their homes in town and
physicians were summoned. as botI

BURTON is MAD.

Senator Burton has returned from Washing
ton, and is now at his home in Abilene. Mr..
Burton doesn't talk much but he delivered him
self OF some pretty vehement language the other
day. He says Roosevelt will be elected by a
large majority, but that, before two years, he
will be the most unpopular man that ever occu-
pied the White House. Burton blames Roose-
welt for his (Burton's) troubles, and he init
mated in his talk that he would "get even."
Burton says he will take an active part in the
campaign.

SUPREME COURT
 HEARS LIQUOR CASE.

The supreme court on Satur- day at Little Rock heard the ar guments of the attorneys in the Newport liquor cases, affirming the ruling of the circuit court in the case of J. F. Bach versus R. w. Anderson ct al, in which the court had found the Jacksonport district to have a majority against license,
 A cross appeal was granted in the case of the state ex rel versus J. M. Jones and the case taken under advisement until next Sat- urday, when the injunction granted by Judge Fulkerson against the issuance of license in the First ward, will either be sustained or overruled.

brought us forth from such req soning to spurn a method that is not in harmony with the princi- pie at stake.
 Would it be right, had the peo- pie of a city expressed them selves, either by petition or by ballot as the law specifies, against license, to legalize saloons on a technicality that did not involve the fairness of the election? There are no prohis who would not answer never. "
 In the case of Newport the condition is even worse, for the technicality can be applied to the election in but one ward. Thus we have the will of the people observed in the west half of the city, while that portion which gave the most positive and pro- nounced majority has a contrary condition thrust upon it through a legal technicality made effect i've at the behest of small minority.
 The writer has talked to a number of prohibitionists, some of them whose names appear upon the court petitions of the prohi attorneys, who think the reform accomplished by punching the saloons in one ward is nothing more than a miserable farce.

THE SAME ISSUE.

In Monroe county a few of the prohibitionists are seeking to take advantage of the same tech nicality in law by which the sa- looms of Newport have been shut out of the First ward, and would defeat the will of the peo- pie at Brinkley as expressed overwhelmingly at the polls by knocking out the saloons at that place on the technicality that as a city of the second class a vote upon the question of license should have been taken by wards.
 In the last election the city of Brinkley had but one voting pre- cinct and the vote for license was PIT, against 121 opposed, or nearly two to one. But, to de- feat this expressed verdict of the people, a small faction seek to annul the returns of an honest and fair election, so acknowl- edged by the prohibitionists themselves.
 The editor of the Brinkley Ar gus. who has ever been a loyal and fearless exponent of prohi- bition, refuses to sacrifice his ideas of what is right and honor able to gain temporary advan- tage and boldly challenges the justice of such a course in the following words:
 "The writer is heart and soul against the saloon and whisky in any form and this is a we'll known fact to nearly every man, woman and child in Monroe county. It is a matter of conscientious con- viction of the writer and all the whisky people may understand that he is ready at any time to take advantage of any fair, hon. est and lawful means to put the open saloons out of business, but this technical trick point now raised and held for decision by Judge Chapline is not fair anC we do not endorse it in any sense. "
 In the dark ages, when ever the church had felt the blight ot licentiousness and depravity, il came to be a principle with sev. eral monastic and other religious orders as well, that the end ofter justified the means.
