The following communications
has been sent in by S. E. Wat
kins of VanCamp, and should III
terest one and all:
In no case is the old adage
Representation is the thief OF
time" more true. and in none are
its results more d!SaStrors than
putting off, from day to Gay, the
provisions for the uncertainties OF
life.
Our intentions are good; we say
as soon as we earn a little more,
or become little better Off, we
intend to lay by something Tor
t,,ose dependant upon us, but as
great man said, "Hell is paved
with good Intentions This very
fact of putting off until tomorrow
what you can do today, catches us
when we are the least prepared,
and the results-shall | say OF our
criminal carelessness.?-are far
reaching, indeed.
A man robust in health, cheer
fully spending his strength and
energies for those depending upon
him. often loses sight Of the fact
that his earning power is but tenn
porary. How soon it shall cease,
only the Almighty Creator of the
universe knows. The brittle
thread of life is easily broken. The
sands of our existence, which to-
day seem unlimited, may tomor-
row be exhausted.
To him who has provided for his
loved ones, so far as it lies IN his
power. the close of his earthly
career is sOlaced by the thought
that, although their natural grief
is great because of his departure
for that "bourne" from which no
traveller returns. there is not add
ed to this sorrow the burden
which would have fallen upon
them had he made no provision
for such a misfortune. He leaves
them with the knowledge that
their immediate future, at least, IS
well taken care of. But what can
be thoughts of man who has
made no provision? BY his negl-
gence, his wife and children are
suddenly deprived of the income
with which he had supplied them,
and added to this is the harrow
ing thought of how she is to sup
port herself and her children. For
long years to come she has to
struggle and toll to keep the wolf

DIET RICH IS
SET FREE

OMAHA, JAN 8.-Judge Vandeventer,
in the circuit court, this morning instruct
ed the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty on the indictment against Senator
Dietrich charging him with receiving
bribes in connection with the postoffce at
Hastings.
The Judge ruled that Dietrich was not
senator until sworn into the senate and
that the charges of bribery relate to post
office rentals prior to that time
The last case against Senator Dietrich
was called this afternoon, the charge being
holding a government contract, although a
senator. This case was nolled by Prose
cutting Attorney Summers, who said that
the records showed that few days after
the election Senator Dietrich transferred
the property as a free gift to his daugh-
ter, who has since received the benefits.
The case against Postmaster Fischer of
Hastings was also dismissed. since he could
not nave given bribe if Dietrich was not
guilty of receiving one.
The only case left is the one against
Elliott Low, who is alleged to have acted
as go-between in the sale Of the postoffice
property.

Huddled together between the steel
decks of the big steamship Ching Wo, CHI
nese passengers are shivering with the
cold that is so strange to them. Poorly
clad and most of them aged, the mis-
erable travellers are only just living.
All the Cinnamon on the big steamship
want is to get back to the graves of their
forefathers before they die so that they
can be buried where no shadow will fall
across their graves.
Three of the Cinnamon on the Ching Wo
have died while the vessel has been in
Tacoma horbor, from ailments brought on
bv exposure to the cold. The three bodies
will be shipped to China and buried
there
Captain Parkinson, of the Ching Wo,
speaking of his Chinese passengers tins
morning, said that he was taking the best
care of them in his power, but that
freight steamer was no place to attempt
to carry passengers, even Chinese: They
can stand anything but cold weather
The Ching Wo's passengers for the most
part have been in the United States for
many years and are now taking advantage
of the SIS rate to get home.
Their quarters are close and cold, down
between decks, though more light and heat
