The following, taken from an ex-
change, will bring tears to the eyes of
all: Tenderly she laid the silent.
white form, beside those that had
gone before. She made no outcry. she
did not weep. Such a moment was too
precious to be spent in idle tears.
But soon there came a time when it
seemed as if nature must give way.
She lifted her voice and cried loud and
long. Her cry was taken up by others
who were near and it echoed and re-
echoed over the grounds. Then sud
denly all was still. What was the
use of it all? She would lay another
egg tomorrow.
William Kiley was instantly killed
and Samuel Lesno seyerly injured by
fall of ground in the Anaconda mine
at Butte about $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
| afternoon. 1t was case of one OF
those unavoidable accidents, so COM
mon in mining. Lesno was removed
to st. James hospital immediately af-
ter the accident and after receiving
treatment was sent to his home at A
North Wyoming avenue. He suffered
injuries about the head and body, and
though his condition is regarded as
serious. it is thought that it is not nee.
essarily critical.
George Hicock, a miner employed

to his death at II o'clock Wednesday
morning. He fell from the 1900 foo
level to the sump, a distance of 7O(
feet. His partner was the first to dis
cover the accident. 1t took an hours
search to recover the body from the
sump. The unfortunate man was 81
years old, married and without chill
dren. John Dutton, secretary of tn.
miners union, was Hicock's s brother.
in-law. It is not known how the ac
cident occurred.

Advices from Chinook state that two
sheep outfits in the vicinity of Lloyd
are effected with foot and mouth di-
sease, a complaint that seldom appears
in this part of the country, but which
is said to be contagious. The animals
affected are reported to be in bad
shape, and neighboring sheepmen are
uneasy over the situation.

OPENING OF
RESERVATION
Plan of Opening Likely to be
Same as was Used in
Oklahoma.
REGISTER AND DRAW LOTS

Now that it is assured almost be-
yond question of doubt that the senate
will pass the Crow reservation segre-
cation bill at the present session of
congress, some speculation is being in
dulged in as to the form the president
will prescribe for settle to enter up
on the lands. Widespread interest is
being taken by people within several
hundred miles of the reservation who
look with longing eyes for the time
when they will be permitted to enter
upon the lands.
The policy of the general land office
at Washington, where the plans are
usually formulated for the final OPEN
ing of Indian reservations, in recent
years in almost every instance has
been to permit settlement of segregated
Indian lands through system of reg
istration and drawing. This was the
plan adopted exclusively in the OPEN
ing of Indian lands in the Oklahoma
country and the work done there by
the general land office was highly sat
isfactory to the president and the Sec
retary of the interior, and following
the completion of the drawing, the as
sistant land commissioner, Mr.. Rich
ards, who devised the plan and worked
out the details, was commended very
highly for the efficiency of his work.
Mr.. Richards is now in the general
land Office and is now commissioner.
It is altogether likely that unless he is

sible was the real. For weeks past,
therefore, they have day by day made
general charges and accusations. OF
course, the simple fast Is that Mr..
Cortelyou did not spend even frac-
tional part Of his time as secretary In
prying into the secrets OF corporations.
AS for getting such secrets for cam
paign use, nobody had any idea that
he would have the campaign on bis
hands Mr.. Hanna's illness and death
made it necessary to find new chair
man. Various men were invited to
take the arduOus post, but for one rea-
son or another they could not assume
a responsibility that usually taxes
both time and physical strength so Sc
verely.
Mr.. Cortelyou's final selection, far
from being made with view to get
ting campaign funds, was sharply
criticised and much opposed on the
ground that his inexperience and lack
of acquaintance with business men
would much increase the difficulty Of
raising money. He was selected be-
cause of his remarkable executive
abilities, his loyal and sincere quail
ties ESQ thoroughly tested BY three
Presidents), and the harmonious feel
ing likely to result from the choice OF
a man thoroughly trusted and esteem
ed by the especial friends and sup.
porters of the late Mr.. Mckinley and
the late Mr.. Hanna, ON the one hand,
and on the other by the friends and
of President Roosevelt.
Every true and thoughtful citizen,
whatever his party, wishes to see poll
tics run on legitimate lines. The
country is to be congratulated when
high.minded men do hard, energetic
political work, while regulating every
form of corruption or fraud. Mr.. Cor
telyou's selection was honorable and
creditable. From 1.-THE Progress Of
the World" in the American Monthly

Registration Light.

When the registration books In To
peka had closed the total number of
registered voters was less than 10000
or about 400 less than four years ago.
Some of these of course, will be thrown
out. This, If it can be taken as an in
dex to the vote OF Kansas, indicates
large number Of stay-at-home-voters,
a peculiar condition for presidential
campaign. The general satisfaction
following the good times has this re
suit; ever one is content to attend his
own business and to let their servants,
the public officers, attend to theirs.
But remember the date of the cleo.
tion--next Tuesdays a. m. to 6 p. m.
land cast a ballot'for good govern
ment and good times.

age and the choir met at the church for
practice, thus permitting the crowd 10
gather without exciting the notice Of
the family, each person attending
brought in package Of some useful ar
ticle.
When the, arrangements for the even
ing were completed Mrs. Kemp was
called in and N. B. Mccormick in few
well chosen words presented the gifts
which had been brought in. This was
followed by thanks from Mrs. Kemp.
Then q program Of the evening was Civ

Anthem by the choir-"Zion Awake. Z"
Declamation-'A Railroad Wreck"---

experience as a Methodist minister in
the early days Of Kansas and Nebraska.

Wnl Get 100 Votes.

Frank Freeland the Socialist noml-
nee for representative claims that
the Socialists will poll more than 100
votes In this county this fall nearly
all them being In the third commits
sioners diStict. This, he says, will re-
suit In the election Of the Republican
ticket, as nearly all Of the converts
are Populists who are dissatisfied with
Parker and dUn't want to vote for
Roosevelt. The total vote In the
county will probably reach $500. One
can readily see that the Socialist vote,
even If they double their number,
which is extremely improbable, repre-
Sents very small proportion of the
total vote, so small indeed, that to
vote 1t is voluntary Acknowledgement.
But let them vote it. II t. cir devo-
tion to principle is so great that they
desire no voice In government, locally
or nationally, they have no cause for
complaint because their political az.
tiliations count for naught.

Scratching the Ticket.

Scratching the ballot is a fine art in
Kansas. II is the cause Of many lost
votes. To vote straight ticket all that
is necessary is a cross-mark in the cir
Gle under the emblem Of the ticket
which you wish to vote; all other
marks should oe avoided. In voting
for a part Of a ticket the cross in
the circle should be omitted and the
cross placed In the square at the right
of the name Of each candidate for
whom you wish to vote. Any other
mark inValidateS the ballot. The
marking must be done with BLACK
pencil. IndelIble 'pehcll or pen will
not be counted. Any mark other

The Amendments.

Two propositions to amend the con-
Stitution are to be voted on at the
election next Tuesday. One provides
for giving the governor power to veto
any portion Of bill, and will doubt
less carry without any serious opposi-
tion. The other relates to the cleo
tion OF state printer and proposes to
make the ONCE elective and the tern
two years; THE present method of
electhg q state printer is by vote OF
the legislature and 1t leaves room for
q great deal Of political play and cor
ruption. The oftice is very remunera-
tive apd small fortune Is made out
OF 1t during every term, hence 1t has
become known as a graft" with
which dissatisfaction has become gem
eral. 1t is q we'll known fact that the
allowances for state printing are very
excessive and unreasonable when the
investment and labor required are
taken into consideration The amend.
ment now submitted for adoption by
the people makes no provision for
revision of these allowances but re.
lates entirely to the manner Of cleo
tion. All officers should be, elected by
the people, but In this particular case
the manner 6f election is not the point
OF greatest interest to the public and
it Is doubtful If itsadoption will prove
OF any practical value and IL may lead
to the conclusion by the legislature
that the people II they adopt 1t are
Willing to let the graft proceed. What
we really need In regard TO the state
printer Is an amendment which will
place tle allowance for this office
within reasonable limlts--then the
manner Of election makes little differ
ence-for II only reasonable pay for
these services are To be received the
corruption attending the election IL
state printer will be greatly diminish.
ed II not entirely prevented. IL Is to
be hoped that proposition TO amend
the constitution, as regards the allow.
ances will be submitted at the next
general election.

Champion Rabbit Story.


G. H. Tucker spent Sunday at the
home of Zal Ferguson, in Dayton
township. During the day they had
occasion 10 walk through Mr.. Fergu-
sons alfalfa field. While passing
through the field Mr.. Tucker noticed
a bunch of dried alfalfa almost under
his feet and trembling under it and
prepared to spring out was full
grown "cotton-tail." Mr.. Tucker
made quick grab and caught the
rabbit before it could escape and pre-
sented IL to the Ferguson family where
it was served during the course Of the

you wish to vote will cause you to
lose your vote. To place your cross
in the squares for two candidates for
the same office will invalidate the
whole ballot. You must know just
how you want to vote, what kind of

Obituary.

! Miss Susie Ann Townsley, the daught
or of Mr.. and Mrs. Philitus Townsley
was born near Phillipsburg, Kans., the
10th day Of November, 1881, and depart
ed this life at Emporia the 10th day o.
October, 1904, her age being % years, Il
months and 10 days.
She graduated from the, city, high
school with the class Of 1862.
She entered the department of music
of Emporia college in the fall of the
same year and received last June a
teachers diploma. She was persuine
her studies in the same institution al
the time of her death with great success
and would have received her degree next
June.
She united with the Presbyterian
church of this city when she was sixteen
years Of age and has been afaithful and
consistent member during the passing
years.
Miss Susie was endowed with those
qualities of mind and heart whereby
she won the friendship Of both old and
young which accounts for her great
popularity. 1t was quite evident to all
that she possessed those substantial
characteristics which, give promise Of
true and noble womanhood.
She was profoundly interested In the
sublime art of music and was rarely
gifted as vocalist
There was not only beauty In her
plaintive cadence of song, but power
that touched the soul. It was the fond
belief Of many that by her art she would
some day win place Of honor among
professionals, and, also, use her gifts In
such way as to bless society. But,
she has goneI We shall not hear her
sweet voice again, only In the echo.
Whittier has she gomez To Join the
Heavenly choir-to vie with arch-angels
while they Singh notes divine. Physical
death shall not destroy that harmony
that sprang from her soul. God is the
conservator Of consecrated gifts like
hers. Our souls may yet be thrilled by
that celestial choir Of which she is, we
trust, part.
The funeral service was conducted in
the Presbyterian church on Monday at
3 o'clock p. m, Oct. 81, by her pastor.
The choir rendered very impressively
several beautiful selections. Miss Norma
Medium presided at the organ. The
parts we're carried by Messrs. Lewis and
Bicktord and Mesdames Lewis and Stin-
son. A very large company of the
sympathizing friends Of the family were
present. The interment was in the city
cemetery. The grave was beautifully
lined with flowers by her Sabbath
school class directed by Mrs. Medium.

The Trading Candidates.

The trading candidate is abroad in
the land. He is man who is fearful
that his personality and qualifications
may not sufficiently appeal to the vo-
tiers to insure bis election and to make
himself more certain is willing to
sacrifice Others upon his ticket who
are supposed to represent the same
principles as himself, In order to win.
AS a rule the trading candidate is not
worthy of support, and seldom is the
gamer by his attempts to beat bis
competitor in such an unfair manner.

Mr.. cortelyou and the Trusts.

There has been widespread at
tempt to make it appear that Mr..
Cortel you, chairman Of the Republi-
can National committee, has been en-
gagged in Matchmaking corporations for
political funds. An air Of good faith
and FEASIBILITY has been given to this
accusation by the placing Of much
stress upon Mr. Cortelyou's recent re-
lations to the business Of the country
in his position as secretary Of com
merce and labor. This new depart.
ment at Washington has power to in
yestigate, under the Presidents's d.
rection, certain matters relating to
interstate commerce; and its Bureau
VI Corporations may also look into al
legged abuses on the part Of any OF the
so-called trusts. The new department
has, however, vast number Of other
Interests and duties pertaining to It,.
1t has occurred to some ingenious
minds that Mr. Courtelyou might have
been employing his brief period as
secretary Of commerce In prying into
the secrets OF corporations, In order
that he might subsequently use these
as a means by which to extort cam
paign contributions. Having con.
ceived OF such a thing IS possible,
several OF the New York newspapers
adopted the assumption that the pos.
