Man Who Formed Wheat Pool Serves
Jail Sentence


La Crosse, Kan, Jul 25.--In little
tin-roofed stone Jail, with the ther-
mometer standing at 100 degrees in
the shade for six hours of the day,
E. J. Smiley is paying the penalty
here for having violated the Kansas
antitrust law
Mr.. Smiley is said to be the only
man in the United States who ever
suffered Imprisonment for the viola
ton of such a law. Other men have
been convicted of crimes similar to
Smiley's, but have escaped actual i'm
prisonment.
AS secretary of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association Smiley was ar
rested in 1902 charged with having
| formed a pool among the millers Of
Bison, small wheat station few
miles east of La Crosse.
He was convicted in the district
court here after trial which was
hard fought on both sides. His at
torney carried the case through the
courts to the United States supreme
court, and that court affirmed the de-
cision of the Rush county district
court.
After vainly trying for a pardon
from the governor smiley came here
early in May of this year and sur.
} rendered to j. NJ Purcell, the sheriff
of the county.
, Nearly every farmer in Kansas re
z garded the conviction of Smiley as q
personal victory

FIGHT ON The TRUST
INDEPENDENT ELEVATOR MEN
ISSUE A CALL
They Will Raise a Fund and Will

Combination That Controls Ne
braska's Grain Business


has been declared by the Farmers
Cooperative Grain and Live Stock
State association, which has it's head
quarters at Minden, Neb. This asso-
ciation's membership is recruited
from among the Independent eleva-
tor men of Nebraska.
The association has just issued a
call appealing to all persons interest
ed in the matter to cooperate in an
effort to destroy those evils which
have arisen in connection with the
combination to control the grain busi-
ness of Nebraska. Attorney General
Norris Brown will be urged to bring
proceedings, either of civil or Grim
inal character or perhaps of both,
against the Nebraska Grain Dealers
association and it's members.
Purpose of the Association
The farmers association was or
gained in 1903 and has something
over 1000 members scattered all over
the agricultural sections of the state
Its object is to protect the
producer against monopolies in the
markets for his goods and to keep
alive competition among merchants
and receivers and prevent trusts and
combinations. The organization at
present is made up of 103 locals,
thirty of these locals comprising ele-
yatOr associations, each of which
owns and operates an independent ele-
vator. J. S. Canaday is president OF
the association; L. S. Deets, vice
president; James T. Brady, secretary,
and G. Smith of Kearney, treas

Where Did the Beans Go?

They were luscious beans, all baked
according to the latest Boston method,
brown and nice, in big pan.
They were destined for the delecta-
ton of the Social club of Essex-but
the grange got them.
The member of the Social club who
baked them sent them to town by her
son, who supposed it was his duty to
leave them at the Grange hall for the
Social club, but as the grange used the
hall for its own meeting that night, the
Social club had to go elsewhere.
The beans were delivered at the hall
that was all the boy knew about it
He did his duty-and the grangers did
the rest. They were good, too, said the
grangers. Lick UNI good burlington
Clipper.
A case somewhat similar to the
above occurred in, Johnson not many
years since. At one time a young
man not very well stocked with this
worlds goods, had a room in the
basement of the Methodist church,
where he lived during the time he
was studying for admission to the
bar. On a certain night there was
to be a supper at the Baptist church
near by. One of the ladies, who had
agreed to furnish beans for the sup
per, sent a huge pan OF them to the
church by her son, telling him where
to leave them. The boy saw the
aforesaid law student standing in
the basement door of the Methodist
church and thinking that was the
place where the feast was to be held
handed the beans to the student,
which were received with many
thanks, the young man thinking
somebody had in the generosity of
their heart remembered HIM in his
stringent circumstances. Not until
the next day was the mistake dis
covered, even though there was a
scarcity Orleans at the church supper.

Tributes TO Mckinley.

Notable tributes to the memory of
William Mckinley were paid on Tues
day of last week at banbuet given
in celebration of Mckinley Dav at
Canton, Ohio. Among the striking
utterances were these:
General John c. Black, of Illinois
" He fell on the very utmost human
height, close under the stars, when
all men loved him, and in the service
of his people and of God"
Justice William R. Day, of Ohio
" McKinley's life is arefutation of the
oft-repeated suggestion that great
success in public life and loyalty to
high ideals in private conduct are in
compatible"
General Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia:
" He was a foe without hate, friend
without treacherv, a soldier without
cruelty. a public officer without vices.
a private citizen without reproach,
Christian without hypocrisy, man
without guilt"
Vice President-elcct Fairbanks, of
Illinois: eve review life of pure
purpose and exalted deed and find
ourselves lifted to higher and better
plane by the contemplation. He lad-
neither the Napoleonic dream of
territorial conquest nor the desire
of national expansion through the
sword. He beheld in the events
which followed each other in swift
and tragic succession an overriding
Providence. He accepted the new
burdens which were not Of his seeking
with the firm purpose to discharge
them as became a mighty nation,

Sunday School Convention.

If one needed evidence of a very
real and intelligent interest in pres
ent-day Sunday School work. such
interest was certainly evinced by the
convention of the Hyde Park, John
son and Eden District Association
last week Thursday, at the Baptist
church in Johnson. The attendance
was remarkable, when one considers
the distance over which MANY were
obliged to drive
The program had been carefully
planned and such changes as had to
be made were easily made, so that
the discussion of the subjects assigned
was not interrupted
The President, F. S. Hazard, was
unavoidably detained and the Rev.
H. {. Leach was chosen president
pro TEN. The morning session was
occupied mainly with an address by
Field Sec. Fuller and a symposium
upon the Superintendent in his vari-
Gus relations to the School, the
Teacher, etc. Messrs. B. F. Atwell,
H. c. Leach and V. A. ODER all made
remarks helpful and pertaining to
the theme.
8. In the afternoon, the discussion
was upon the Teacher, and Mr.. c. P.
Jones and Mrs. N. J. Perry were the
speakers. Valuable suggestions were
made by both. The Rev. Mr.. Fuller
had large part upon the program,
but none too large, if the interest
and appreciation of his auditors be
any criterion. The Round Table
discussion led by him was one of the
interesting features of the
Mrs. b. B. Blake in an earnest and
manner made an address
upon the Home Department as the
" Sunday School reaching out"
The Rev. Robert J. Barton, of
Greensboro, made perhaps the hit of
the day in his address on "Discon-
tent Applying d remark of Mr..
Fuller's made early in the day, he
referred to himself as the alarm
clock attachment" of the Sunday
School Association, which is design
ed to awaken people out of their I'M
worthy content and arouse them to
a noble discomfort. He then applied
the thought, in his own forceful and
original way, to the subject of Teach
ing Equipment and Method.
The old board of officers was re-
elected as follows:-

According to the Overseer of the
State Grange of Connecticut, reform
is urgently needed in the management
of some of the agricultural fairs in
that State. He charges that gam
bling, liquor dealing and even steal
ing are permitted at some of these
exhibitions. He gives one instance
where a man went to a fair with a
specified amount of money to pur-
chase a wagon which was one of the
exhibits. The visitor ran up against
a slot machine and tried to double
his money, so as to buy better out
fit. The result was that he went
home CLEANED out" of cash and
minus a wagon. This is mentioned
only as a sample of what is going on
with the consent of the fair managers
in Connecticut, and the Overseer pro-
tests against it as demoralizing and

their " transgressions," would do all
he could to improve their lot, and
