PATRONIZE HOME ENTERPRISE.

There have been parties in the
valley lately canvassing for gro
ceries and have induced quite
good many to buy of them assur,
ing them that by 80 doing they
save money.
The old saying is, "There are
tricks in all trades" 1t is some
of these tricks we want to call
public attention to. In the first
place these canvassers, rs a rule,
make their money by inducing
people to buy what they don't
want. For instance, they will
offer sugar ut less than cost. That
takes at once. Then comes coffee,
tea, spices and 80 on down the en-
tire grocery list. Instead Of buy
ing a moderate amount Of tea, etc,
sufficient for present use, you must
buy in larger quantities-some-
times tea enough to last your
family for years. These goods are
to be paid for in cash before they
are delivered.
1t is true that peddler who has
no capital invested IN his business,
pays no taxes, hires no clerks, eau
afford to sell for lees than the
grocery man who has to carry
large stock, pay taxes and employ
clerks to weigh out groceries in
small lots, and then wait 30 or 80
days for his pay. II those who
buy from outside would go to the
local grocer with cash and buy in
the same quantities ~ they buy Of
travellers they would get the goods
practically M cheap.
Suppose, again, the community
should adopt the plan Of buying
from travellers and the store keep.
era should quit the grocery trade,
what would you do when you hap
pened to run short and your trav-
cling man failed to call on you?
Or, suppose You should want
short credit? Or, suppose you
hsd butter, eggs, potatoes to ex'
change Tor groceries would il not
liz convenient TO have q place IN
town where you could exchange
your produce for groceries! Elk.

Last Friday two of Matt Sey-
fricd's boys near Center were out
hunting with shot gun and met
Inman Scott, IL neighbOr's boy,
and pointing the gun at HIM
called ''halt." At that time the
\ gun was discharged inAicting an
ugly wound in the Scott boys leg
below the thigh. The Seyfrcld
boys summoned help and the Scott
boy was taken home and his
wounds dressed by II physician.
The Seyfried bows, one ID and the
other . years old both small for
their ages, then mounted horse
and rode toward Monte Vista,
+. and as they were away from home
attending hogs and patching they
were not missed until Saturday
+. night. Sunday search was begun
for the boys, but no trace Of them
has been found. II Is sand that the
father has always been very severe
with his children and the older boy
has twice before ran away from
home. 1t is supposed that 1t was
the fear of their father that caused
them to disappear.
Tho moral is; treat your boys
right. ~ that when they do get
into trouble they will come to you
for sympathy and advice aud not
shun you or liz to YOU.

DIETRICH is
NOT GUILTY
Judge Instructs Jury to Return
that Verdict on the Indictment
Charging Him with Bribery

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
OMAHA, Jan. S.-Judge Van Deven-
ter of the circuit court this morning
instructed the jury to return a verdict
of not guilty on the indictment against
Senator Dietrich charging him with re-
ceiving bribes in connection with the
postoffice at Hastings. He ruled that
Senator Dietrich was not senator un-
til sworn into the senate and charges
of bribery in connection with the post
office rental required prior to that time.
The last case against Dietrich was
called this afternoon. The charge. was
holding government contract although
a senator. The case was nolled by At
torney Summers, who said the records
showed that a few days after his cleo
ton Dietrich transferred the property
as a free gift to his daughter who had
since received the benefits. The case
against Fisher of Hastings was dis
missed since he could not have given
"a bribe If Dietrich was not guilty of
receiving it. The only case left is the
one against Elliott Low, who is alleged
to have acted as go-between in the
the sale of the postoffice at Alma.

tains were operated by hand and coun-
ter weights and that the fire fighting
apparatus consisted Of two tubes of
Kilfyre eighteen inches long. There
was no other protection against fire on
the stage. The stand pipe in the rear
of the stage had never been supplied
with hose. Under the foyer there were
but fifty feet of two inch hose this con-
stituted the entire fighting apparatus in
that portion of the house.
In the theater were four small reels
of hose which when used had been
connected with the water meter and
stand pipes whose locations were
known only to the workmen. There
had never been any drills for fires and
no instructions had ever been issued to
the employees. The witness admitted he
knew the use of the greater part of the
fire apparatus but never had instruct
ed the assistants.
The exits were draped in red plush
curtains but were held outside by
heavy iron doors barred and bolted and
operated with levers. The witness ad-
mitted that no one unfamiliar with this
system Of levers could unlock the doors
