The thing for Republicans to do this
year is to VOTE. The Democrats have
the money of the trusts and can bring

Judge Parker says he is in favor of
the Panama canal, but opposed to the
methods by which its construction was
secured. No method that Republican
administration could have adopted would
have met his approval. The only method
ever pursued by the Democratic party
was one OF tritiing and delay.

IMPORTANT OIL DECISION

to the suit would not be bound by
such decree.
The second objection Is that the
Singledecker heirs, who are entitled
to the one eighth of the one.ninth
interest In the gas and oil Under
the plaintiffs lease, but have no
arrangement with the defendants,
have such interest In the result of
this litigation that they should be
made parties. They certainly
should be parties % this contro-
versy, for their rights may be ma
terally affected by the success Of
the defendants.
1t Is next objected that Thomas
Bunfll, the lessor who executed
the two leases In controversy, was
not made either party plaintiff or
defendant. He Is certainly an In
dispensible party to this litigation,
for his rights may be greatly affect.

rents and royalties under both leases
If nothing more whiie the facts dis

days since and adds the following
account of the funeral services

called Mr.. Cramer was shot and
instantly killed by man named
Smith In Texas. Mr.. Mccoy writes
as follows about the funeral and the
family of the deceased:
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at his old home and were
attended by a large number OF old
friends and neighbors. The Elks
attended In body as did the Mac
cabees. The services were simple
but impressive and were rendered
more so by the cruel manner In
which he came to his death and
the presence OF his many sorrowing
little children. Mr.. C1amer was
born June 18th, 1868, at Warren,
Pa, and was In his 41st year. He
entered the oil business at Bradford
Pa, In his 18th year and followed
1t until his death. He was married
Dec, goth. 1884, to Miss Lorena
Baldensperger, of Stoneham, Pa.
Seven children were born of this
union, all of whom are living, Hor-
ace the oldest Is 18 and Paul aged
d Is the baby. Besides these, he Is
mourned by his father, two broth
er. and FIVE sisters. Prior to theiE
coming to Boulder In 1902, Mr..
Cramer and his family lived In Sis
tersville ten years where they have
many warm friends.

Mr.A.S.McCoy,w who has relatives

located In Boulder. Colorado, at
this time where he Is improving In
health, writes home he Is well
pleased with Boulder. AS many
have anxiously and very kindly
made inquiries from day to day as
to how be Is getting along, we pub
llsh part of his letter and In this
way let all his relatives and friends
know how he Is improving and
how pleasant he Is located.
He writes: Eve are all so well
pleased with the town and I know
you would be. The schools are the
finest possible and there are seven
fue public school buildings scat
tered about the town which Is just
twice as large as Sistersville. There
are only ten saloons and they don't
have crowd of loafers In front OF
them as they do at home. Saloons
here seem to have no more privil'
eyes than any other business.
Besides the public school we
have here the State University of
Colorado and it Is a beauty. There
are numerous large buildings and
nine hundred students. There are
fourteen churches here but their
memberships are not to be com
pared with those at home. The
Presbyterians lead with $50 mem :
bers and the Methodist next with
600 members and a very fine large
grey stone church.
The sun shines here 325 days
year on an average and In the four
weeks I have been here have seen
only one bad day and have not
needed even a light overcoat half
the time. It gets about as warm
here In summer as at home, with
this difference that you have to
have blankets every night In the
year. The town Is the prettiest
place I ever saw and I lave seen a
good many.
This county produced half mil

around are mines from which many
