Death Of Mr.. G. Coleman Shet-
tleSWOrth.

Mr.. G.. Coleman Shettlesworth
died at his home near Scdalia last
Friday night and was buried Satur-
day afternoon, in Padgett's Creek
church cemetery, Rev. C. II. Scaife
officiating. Mr.. sShettlesworth had
been sick but two days before his
death. He had been a sufferer for
years with kidney trouble and for
several days before he died, his
worry about the critical illness of
his wife, doubtless fastened his
death. He was one of Union
county's best, truest and stanchcst
citizens, and was a Confederate Vet
eran of unquestioned courage and
fidelity. He died as he had lived a
Christian gentleman, having been a
member of the Methodist church
for more than thirty years. He
was about 50 years old, and leaves
wife, two sisters, Mrs. H. NJ
Barnett and Mrs. Lizzie Mobley anG
one brother, Mr.. j. G.. Shettlc
worth and many friends to mourn
his loss. The sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to the be-
reaved in this their sad affliction.

Work Of our Legislature.

There has not been very much
real work done by the legislature
up to this time. A number of new
bills have been introduced in both
branches of the assembly. The
most notable and of the greatest
public or general interest are:
Senate bill to assess property at it's
real value; bill for the creation of a
state board of assessors, consisting
Of the comptroller general and one
person from each judicial circuit:
compulsory education bill; bill to
have dispensers elected for two
years, and circuit judges for 16
years instead of 4; bill to aid and
encourage the erection of public
school buildings. A joint resolution
was passed, which provides for a
committee of investigation, COM
posed of three members of the
senate and three of the house, to
investigate the workings and busi-
ness OF the state dispensary as to
purchases Of stock, as to whether
members OF the board of directors
have been agents for large whole
sale liquor houses, as to whether
those to whom orders had been
given were not dealers but brokers,
and thus making the State pay the
commissions of third party, what
is the financial standing, and is it
run on best business principles,
what is the indebtedness of the dis
pensary for liquors which have been
bought, but not delivered; a bill
for the protection of game; bill to
/ change the jury law. There should
be jury commission, composed Of
three commissioners, who hold no
other Office in the county or state.
The jury box should be filled by
these commissioners in January Of
each year, and before each court
term these commissioners should
meet and draw the jury in secret
session.
Next Thursday is the day set by
a concurrent resolution of senate
and house to elect judges, o superin-
tendent and three directors of the
penitentiary. 1t seems that there
has been more interest taken in the
coming elections than in the real
legislative work, although large
number OF bills have been intro
duced.

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Disastrous Wreck on the Great
Northern in North Dakota.

About thirty people were injured, one
seriously, in the wreck Of the Great
Northern westbound flyer at Spring
Brook, twenty one miles east of Willis
ton, y. ID.
Seven cars were burned by a fire
which broke out Immediately after the
wreck, presumably caused by the explo-
sion Of gas tank under the smoking
car. The mail car and the special car
Joliet, containing DR. Frank Billings, of
Chicago, and a party Of physicians ell
route to Portland, did not leave the rails,
and was unframed by the flames.
The officials of the road at st. Paul
say that it was a miracle that numbers
were not killed, as the train was running
at high rate of speed when it left the
rails. According to their report there
was no spreading of the rails, and they
are unable to account for the accident.
AS the cars left the track they partially
appended. but did not break in two.
Most Of those injured suffered from
burns, the flames spreading SO rapidly
that many were scorched before they
could be removed from the wreckage.
DR.. Billings and the physicians i'll his
party at once took charge of the injured
and dressed their wounds pending the ar
rival of a relief train from Wiliston.
All Of the injured were able to resume
their journey except c. II. Stryker who
is reported to be in a serious condition.
Stryker was in the baggage car en- route
from st. Paul to Boise, Idaho, and was
badly cut and bruised. All mail and bag
gage was saved.
Among the seriously injured are Mrs.
Mary c. Lewis, Danville, Ia, and G.. II.
Stryker, Boise City, Idaho; critical.

TORNADO IN TEXAS.
Reports of Forty Lives Lost in
Furious Twister.

According to a Fort Worth. Tex, dis
patch, a tornado which struck Texas in
the upper edge of Montague County,
coming from the northeast and swing
ing far to the southeast, Wednesday
afternoon, caused the loss, it is believed,
of forty lives, injured a large number of
people and did untold damage to grow
ing crops and cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through which
it swept, but it zigZagged in such Il way
as to take in the homes of many farmers
and stock raisers in the section.
At Jacksboro the force of the wind was
terrific. The Baptist church and twenty
other buildings We're blown off their
foundations and number of buildings
were totally destroyed.
Mrs. Travis Calhoun Yves seriously in
jured. Travis Calhoun, Mrs. Thomas
Horton and Henry Wesser and family
were also injured. At Montague no lives
were lost in the town, but in the coun-
try there was great loss of life report
ed. The wires are down in all directions
and it is difficult to get particulars. Ten
persons are known to be dead in the
neighborhood and unconhrmed reports
are to the effect that the list will go as
high as forty. Most Of those killed lived
on Salt Creek along which the tornado
swept with special force.
At NocOna the tornado passed q few
miles tO the South and latest lists give the
dead at fourteen and the injured at forty
one.
A reliable man at Nocona, who has
been over the scene, says that reports
were being received of the dead when he
left and he places the loss of life at
sixty. Owing to the widely separated
homes and the fact that in many in
stances whole families were wiped out,
details and names are hard to get.

DECLARED GUILTY.
Banker Chamberlain Convicted Oh
Embezzienenr.

After being out since $50 the previous
evening the jury in the district court at
Tecumseh mt 6 O'Clock Friday night
brought in a verdict Of guilty against
Charles NJ. Chamberlain. Chamberlain,
who was the cashier of the failed Cham
berlain banking house of Tecumseh, was
accused of misapplying $1,000 of the
banks money in the purchase of ranch
in Custer County. Following the delay
in securing jury hard fight was put
up on both sides of the case. the same
coming up before Judge Paul lessen. or
Nebraska City. Monday morning last.
At about 8 O'Clock on Friday night
the jury announced that it found Cham
berlain guilty of the charge of embezzle-
ment. The judge asked the amount,
whereupon the jury again retired and re-
turned shortly and announced for the
full amount charged.
Chamberlain was present;n the court
room and was greatly affected at the find
ing.
No doubt the case will be taken to the
supreme court II is a notable fact that
within the past twenty-five years there
have been three bank failures in Tecum
seh and this is the first conviction.

STANDARD OIL WINS
KANSAS REFINERY KILLED BY
SUPREME COURT.
Measure Passed by Kansas Legisla-
ture Appropriating $4,000 for
u State Refinery is Held to be I'm
coD6titutiOnal-Oth News.

A Topeka, Kan, special announces that
the law passed by the legislature last
winter appropriating $4,000 to build an
independent oil refinery at Peru was Fri
day declared unconstitutional by the state
supreme court.
The oil refinery law was considered one
of the most direct blows struck at the
Standard Oil Company by the last legis-
lature.
The court holds that the construction Of
the refinery and the branch penitentiary
i'm connection with it is in violation Of the
state constitution, and declares: The
state shall never be a party in carrying
on any works of internal improvement
The construction and operation Of such
refinery, it is said, would be work of i'll
ternal improvement.
The court by inference criticises Gov.
Hoch for using Il scarecrow to brighten
the oil trust, so-called, and then for in
forming the trust that the thing he has
Set up is a scarecrow.
The indictment of the Standard Oil
Company" says the court, lis no doubt
true and the provOcation was very great,
but we must not make Il scarecrow Of
the law"
The oil refinery law provided for the
erection at Peru also branch peniten
tiary to house sufficient prisoners, who,
it was intended, were to work the
plant State Treasurer Y. II. Kelly, ..-,.
Warden Z. B. Jewett. whose duty it was
TO issue the bonds, declined to sign them
III order to first secure i decision on the
constitutiOnality of the act. Attorney
General &. &. Coleman filed mandamus
proceedings in the state supreme court
on behalf Of the state to compel these Of
fcers to sign the bonds. The opinion
Friday, declaring the act 10 be illegal and
unconstitutional, was concurred in by all
members Of the supreme court.
