| Mrs. Jacob Geiger died Wednesday,
Dec. 81, at her home near the Spring
Valley school house, aged seventy two
years. She was the wife of Jacob Gel
ger, the present mayor of Monument,
and was a native of Pennsylvania. She
was taken suddenly i'll with pneumonia
and was sick but two days when death
occurred. Mrs. Geiger was pioneer of
Douglas county and leaves many friends
who regret her death.-Castle Rock

A fire doing serious damage occurred
at S. L. Chasasfuan's ranch, six mics
southeast of Calhan, last Thursday after
noon, when the Adams Bros horse
power threshing machine was engaged
in threshing grain. The fire originated
from hot box and in spite of all efforts
of large number of men present, de-
stroyed the machine together with all
feed, etc, stacked on the ranch, and also
destroying the fine large barn which Mr..
Chapman built last winter. The total
loss is estimated at $1,000 to $1,000, with
$500 insurance.-Calhan News.
On account Of the near approach of
the opening of the Uintah reservation
the reporter is piled daily with questions.
The government has not yet announced
its plans, but there are two things the
anxious inquirers can bank on: The
deed to the land will not contain clause
giving the new owner the right to
slaughter game in Colorado "as long as
the winds blow and grasses grow" And
the other is that this is no heart and
hand allotment-the squaws do not go
with the land. One prize is all you get
if the government furnishes the home
you must provide the luxuries.- White
River Review.
We have the information from the
publishers of leading mail order paper
that during the month of October over
800 different concerns were added to the
list in the United States This means
that 300 different concerns have begun
advertising for the purpose of capturing
business that should go to the home
merchant. 1t means that they must re-
sort to some means for their own protec-
ton. 1t means that they must become
better patrons Of the home newspaper
1t means they must resort to more mod
ern methods of conducting business.
Mail order concerns are only built up
from the lack Of modern business meth
DDS by retail merchants. True they rely
upon the lack Of information on the part
of the consumer both present and pros
pective for their trade. But if there is
any merit in that proposition, the mod
ern home merchant certainly has the
same right to play upon that condition
as has the order house.-Trade Journal

THEY ARE GETTING MAD.

The following good editorial appeared in a
recent number of the New York Weird:
When the "embattled farmers" at Concord
bridge "fired the shot heard round the world"
British tyranny in the American colonies was
doomed.
1t is perhaps too much to expect that the
tyranny of the Standard Oil Company will be
ended by the uprising of the Western and
Southern states that are following the exanYpl
of Kansas in attacking this rernorseless and
odious monopoly. But it is greatly encourage
ing to note that the people have "eot their
dander up" against the head devilfsh OF the
octop.
Yet, baneful as the effect of the Standard
Oil Company is upon many communities, and
evil as its influence has been in business and in
government, it is the beef trust which robs the
consumers of the whole country in the most
shameless manner. 1t fixes, arbitrarily, the
price of beef, poultry, eggs and other articles
of daily food. 1t has for nearly two years
done this in defiance OF law and in disobedience
of an injunction CT the federal court. The
law prescribes fine and imprisonment as the
punishment for such crime. If President
Roosevelt will push the prosecution in this
case until some member of the beef combine is
lodged in Jail, the people will have no more
doubt OF his sincerity as trust-nunter.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
A New Series OF Detective Slor-
les in the Kansas City Star.

Conan Doyle's detective stories, with
the mar, elous Sherlock Holmes as their
hero, have achieved the greatest success
OF recent years. Apprecatlng this fact
the publisher of Golfers Weekly, New
York, induced Mr. Doyle to write final
series of the great detectives adventures.
Repeated retusaIs were followed by in.
creased inducements, and finally Mir.
DOYLE agreed To write thirteen stories
tor S45 900, or about 60 cents a word
The entire correspondence was by cable
The amount paid by Golfers is the larg.
est ever paid for such work and does not
include the right to publish the stories
in book form. Bv special arrangement
with Golfers these famous stores arc
being printed in the Kansas City Star,
one story each week, beginning in the
daily edition, Saturday, February II,
and in the weekly, Wednesday, February

ANTI.DlSCRIM INATION.

The Kansas Legislature has passed the anti
discrimination bill, aud the governor has prob
ably signed it ere this. The vote in the house
stood Sc for and IS against the bill.
This completes the laws aimed at the Stand
ard Oil Company. These laws are as follows:
I. Law providing for $40, 900 for state oil
refinery.
e. Pipe lines made common carriers.
g. Maximum freight rate fixed for transport
alton of oil.
d. Pipe lines placed under the jurisdiction
of the board of railway commissioners.
S. Discrimination, between localities in sell
ing any commodity prohibited.
There will be no under-selllng now. This
last law deprives the Standard Oil trust of its
greatest weapon. And upon the passage of
this anti-discrimnation law depended the suc.
cess of the state refinery.
This law, of course, catches the beef trust
and every other trust, and will doubtless prove
OF great benefit to the people OF Kansas.
There was a strong lobby working against
the BILL The miers' trust and other trusts
had representatives on hand to lobby against
the BILL which goes to show that the law is
far.reaching and if it is thoroughly enforced,
it will be of ucalculable benefit to the people
of the state.
There are many important measures that this
Legislature has neglected, but these four laws, if
enforced, will make up any emissions. In
deed, the Kansas legislature has done well.

RADICALS SHOULD GET TOGETnES.

The Kansas Commoner makes the following
very sensible remarks:
eve wish we'll of every public man who
resolutely tries to do his duty. 1t matters not
what political party he may affiliate with, if lie
is friend of the people, we give him our word
of encouragement and God speed. Among
Democrats we find some notable examples of
progressive craftsmanship and some advocates
of reform. The Republican party is not with
out some public men whose works and words
give evidence of desire to stand for the best
type of popular government. Yet, every re-
former in the Republican or Democratic party
has to spend too much time, energy and ammu-
milton in fighting the enemies within the ranks
OF his own party. Mr.. Bryan will wear his
life out in trying to overcome his enemies in
the so.called Democratic party, just as John
P. Altgeld wore his life away. Governor La.
Toilette always has war on mis- hands with the
corporation element in his own party. And
now that Mr. Roosevelt has outlined rad.
ical course, he is beset by powerful oppos-
ition from hgh.up Republican politicians who
represent special interests. He will not sue
coed in accomplishing much SO long as all his
energy is taken up in fighting the enemy at
home. The very logic oil events will force the
radical reformers all into one party, and then
the people have something to hope ior."

SECRETARY GARFIELD has been "investieat-

trust is composed of the smaller packers, and
that the Armours not guilty OF violating

the Armours are innocent. Indeed, Mr. Gar

Roosevelt's Investigations are 10 turn ont the

WASHINGTON IN
DEEPEST GRIEF.

WASHINGTON, July THE news
Of the death of Secretary Hay was re-
ceived here with evidences of profound
grief. The latest reports received from
Mrs. Hay and from other sources were
OF reassuring nature, and the an
nouncoment of his death came as a
sudden and painful blow to Washing
ron.
1t was Just e week ago to-day that
Secretary Hay said good-by to his
friends here. Count Cassini. the Russian
Ambassador, was one of the few who
saw him AZ his home. The Russian
Ambassador has been much depressed
about Mr.. Hays health. Nevertheless
the shock WAS severe to him this
morning as he learned the sad news.
The Ambassador AT once dictated a
personal message to Mrs. Hay and then
prepared an official despatch to his
Government.
All of the diplomats here will promptly
inform their governments Of the death
of the Secretary and will suspend their
plans for the summer pending arrange
ments for the funeral
In view of the fact that Mr.. Hays
home is It Is thought the funeral
may be held a the Church OF the Cow
enant. But nothing on this subject has
yet been heard from Newbury.
The flag on the State Department was
half-masted early to-day but il ONLY
emphasized the grief which had rapidly
spread throughout the city.

The amount of the policy will be paid

table offices to-day Immediately upon
the receipt OF proof of his death.
Mr.. Hay took the policy in 1887, when
he was forty-seven years old. 1t was q
ffteen-year deferred dividend policy
and when In 1902 Mr.. Hay had paid into
tine company $4,000 IN round numbers
the contract was fulfilled on his part.
He could have taken a cash valuation
and terminated the policy. but preferred

men he did not forget the individual
