DEPARTMENT Of Commerce Is looking
Into That Matter.
ARE NO SPECULATIVE FEATURES.
Investigation Made by Department with
Aid From Special Service Detectives.
The President VIII Decide Upon Pub
Iicity Of Conclusion.

Washington, Mar. 24.-The depart
ment of commerce and labor. through
the bureau of corporations, is making
an investigation in the operations of
the so-called "beef trust" A part of
the investigation is being conducted in
connection with resolution passed by
the house recently. Prior to the
adoption of the resolution, the depart
ment had tahulatcd certain informa-
ton regarding the beef trust. The
resolution which was drafted by Rep
resentative Martin, of South Dakota,
requested the department to ascertain,
If possible, the cause of the difference
in price between beef on the hoof and
dressed beef. 1t was pointed out that
western stockmen believed that they
were being Disseminated against by
the trust, and that the markets of the
country were being manipulated to
their detriment. Neither Secretary
Cortelyou nor Commissioner Garfield,
of the bureau of corporations will dis
cuss the investigation in any way. 1t
is made perfectly clear, however, that
this investigation will be made by the
officials of the department themselves
without assistance; that the depart
ment will not stoop to detective work
in the conduct of the inquiry, and that
the proceedings will be void of any
spectacular features. There will be no
public hearings, and publicity will be
avoided so far as possible. The inves-
tigation is being conducted by Com
missioner Garfield under the direction
of Secretary Cortclyou. Whether the
results of the investigation are to be
made public at its conclusion will de-
pend entirely on President Roosevelt.

l dreamed that you and |, hand IN
hand, passed together from the little
way that we call life and that the por-
tails of great light and great silence
closed behind us.
We stood, two quivering, new born
spirits, still warm with the enveloplng
wells of humanity, in eternity. we.
who had owned such small part OF
the world, who had lived such a small
part of even the little thing called
Life, were there in the eternity OF
spirit, ours at last, the knowledge OF
Immortality.
Around us was luminous distance, OF
which seemed a part; 1t was like the
soul of radiance that one sometimes
catches in infnitestimal CLEAN in the
heart of something crystal. Waves OF
beaxty and truth palpitated toward
us, each covering us with fresh and
ever fresh ecstasy, and we grew with
each, more a perfect substance OF the
whole.
And 1t seemed that when we heard
the whisper of the curtain behind u.s.
and another stood revealed where we
had been. She still held about her
the garb of the little way we call
Life, and her face was pinched with
requirements that had been. Her
self on earth was transparent to US;
nothing of all that had been was hid
den.
Passion for attainment was the
translucent mentality.
This woman had only wanted that
which she had not, and only wanted II
because she had II not.
Her mortality had been an ever un
folding desire.
She had been pursuing herself, and
herself had been pursuing the Truth
She had not felt love, and she had moi
felt hate; she had only felt herself
She had lived in the midst of life and
never lived at all; her days had beer
filed with a thousand busy acts, and
she had never done anything at all
Her name had been stamped on g
thousand achievements, and she had
never known the name Of anything In
the world.
We heard her moan with the pair
OF a great and marvellous change, and
then the garb OF earth drifted and
ebbed away from her.
The spirit with blind eyes and out
stretched hand stepped into the In
finite.
Again the whisper Of the curtains
man was there.
The shell Of his humanity was fixed
and cold and carven with denials.
His stifi. white hands grasped curl

Hail q Foot Deep.

Higginsville, Mo-, Mar. "a. - Fifty
buildings were partly wrecked, one
man was MORALLY wounded and sew
eral others hurt, the town was in
darkness and the streets strewn with
debris as the result of tornado and
hail storm which struck this place.
The hail on the streets was foot
deep within five minutes after the
storm came and some of the hailstones
were phenomenally large. Dozens of
trees in the town were blown down
and several horses were killed in the
streets.

, need of her; wistful human love
shone about her.
She smiled, and as she stepped
forth we saw the twenty roses DRIFT
back to grow again in the hearts OF
those she had left.
How many more thousand came we
did not know. We saw men ana
women enter with the dead leaves OF
vanity, insincerity, Indifference. cruel
ty, brutality still shrouding them. and
we saw these dead leaves fall away.
disclosing only the little projections
that had been beneath all, and these
illumined slowly in the light
Then, without a sound, 1t seemed
the curtain lifted, showing narrow
doorway hewn in stone that led from
the little way, and through this we
saw the old life-experiences, hates.
affections.
We could watch the men and wom-
en- of all the world busily threading
back and forth and CARRIED In those
dead, shriveled, fearful scales beneath
which the immortality of goodness
was awaiting.
Every second one of them turned
YEARLY toward us.
Children came smiling, and no
change was perceptible as they
passed.
Then out of the strange, compact
throng We saw one move like a very
star. We knew in our infinite under
standing that the cloak Of life had
been but shining veil to her soul; a
veil that had grown thinner with the
suffering of each day.
Her love had grown great with
giving.
Her hope had grown infinite with
hoping.
In selhess patience she had lived
i above her own sorrows to bear the
agonies of others. So nothing had
been too small or too mighty for her
comprehension.
Because nothing had been given
her, she was everything.
Along a path of tears she came to
shine on through the eternal wonder
And where she had been on the
little way of world we saw a lily
bloom, and another, and another. and
wherever one had lived who gave his
life for love.
And Beyond, in the radiant silence
we seemed to see a million lilies Of
pure light. and the little path that
led from the little way we call life
into the Infinite was white and beau
tiful and lined with these wonderful
flowers.
A Voice breathed through all time
and space. Il am the resurrection ant
the life-My kingdom shall have NJ
end"
We turned toward the measurelesi
Source Of glory. passing in lilies Of
light, you and I. forever and forever

Killed Accid entaIIy.

Lou Osborn, a well known citizen
of Meade County and West Plains
twp, was found dead on his wagon
south of Plains last Tuesday morn
ing about II O'Clock. He had been
freighting for the XI ranch and had
left Plains Tuesday morning for the
ranch. When about six miles south
of Plains, he stopped at the Adams
ranch for some pipe, but Mrs. Carr,
who was at the house, could not find
it and he proceeded on his journey.
He was just at the gate and had tied
the lines to the spring seat, prepara
tory to opening the gate. He had
single barrelled No. 10 gauge shot
gun along for the purpose of shoot
ing coyotes. The gun was in the
front of the wogon and while he
was getting out it was discharged,
the contents striking him in the
breast and tearing hole about the
size of dollar and burning the bib
overalls which he was wearing. The
shot ranged upwards and is thought
to have killed him instantly. Mrs.
Carr heard the shot and looking out
saw him fall back on his wagon.
She at once summoned help and
the body was removed to Plains.
The inquest was held Wednesday
and the verdict was accidental shoot
ing.
Mr.. Osborn had just secured the
contract to do the freighting for the
ranch. He leaves wife and four
children, the youngest being about
one year old.
He was a member of the Meade
Lodge No. sag l. o. o. F.; carried
So, 900 life insurance in the NJ. w.
A. and So, 900 in the A. o.. U. w.
He was member of both the latter
orders at Meade and was in good
standing in all of them.
The Odd Fellows had charge of
the funeral Thursday morning and
interment was made in Graceland
Cemetery.
Mr.. Osborn was good citizen
and was well liked by all who knew
him. Everyone sympathizes with
his sorrowing wife and children, but
he had made ample provision for
their care and protection from the
amount of life insurance which he
carried. Mr.. Osborn was about As
years of age, and in good health.
