? Following is the late Robert c.
Ingel soils tribute to woman:
at takes hundred men to make
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. / admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever Gre
ated, but I reverence her as the re-
deemed glory of humanity, 1.-THE sane
tuary of all virtue, the pledge of all
perfect qualities of heart and head.
1t is because women are so much
better than men that their faults are
considered greater. The one thing
In this world that is constant, the
only peak that rises above all the
clouds, the one window in which the
light burns forever, tie one star that
darkness cannot quench, is womaR's
love. 1t rises to the greatest heights,
it sinks to the lowest d epths, it for
gives the most cruel injuries. A
woman's love is the perfume of the
heart. This is the real love that
subdues the earth. the love that has
wrought mirac clos of art; that gives
US music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings
of FIRE. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than life and strong
or than death"

Ed. Chronicle:

Ed. Chronicle:
After long delay 1 again come
with my small contribution. We
are now having our first snow, and
while il is a small affair, it has
blocked the trains, and has to some
extent stopped work. These things
do not last long here and in a few
days business will be moving on in
the usual way. The election
passed off in a quiet way. Both
parties met surprise but both seem
satisfied with the result. The Dem
ocrats made some gains and did
not lose any of their former votes.
They elected county officers in the
county and carried this county for
Governor Harris in the face of three
hundred and fifty Republican ma
jority, and gave him about thee
hundred majority. They also
elected awoman for County Supt.
by about the same majority. We
did not get up any excitement here
but there was large amount Of
scratching done when it came to
a vote. The farmers are having a
hard time to get their corn husked
and are paying about two dollars
day for common laborers. The
wheal crop is not all threshed yet
and machine men are paying two
dollars and fifty cents a day for
help and cannot get it at that price.
AS In many cases the hands have to
sleep in the straw-stacks and that
is very cool at this writing There
are fine crops her this year; corn
only bringing twenty FIVE cents per
bushel, delivered in town or at the
cars. There is o considerable a

especially alfalfa and Kafir corn,
which Is always in demand. There
is at this time a considerable IN
terest taken in the opening of the
"Big Pasture" for settlement, Sew
eral parties from here will go and
cast their lots for a farm in OklahO-
ma, while others are going farther
west whore tho country is newer
and land much cheaper, and they
say equally as good as it is here
/ am thinking of going with the
crowd one way or the other, but at
the present writing / cannot say
which way 1 will GO. There is also
some talk of opening an oil field or
rather a gas field near here but the
farmers are not giving the move
much encouragement as they think
1t would interfere with their farm
ing and might not be Of much ben
eft to them otherwise. But am
Of tho opinion that few wells will
be put down near this city, aiming
to got gas for the city. The Cal
houn boys are holding their own
here and are all satisfied. In fact
{ seems that most all who come
here from the east take hold Of their
opportunities and make success Of
it. At this time there are more
men leaving here than are coming
in but when spring opens new ones
come in The people here are the
most restless people on earth and
are always looking for something
better. There seems to be an incli
nation TO be always on the move,

Meet Not Finished,

that reason the winning city in the tri-

c. 4. Of Salt Lake, Colorado Springs,
Colo, and Oak Park, H., could not be
determined. IL is expected that Oak
Park will be heard from early this

According TO advices from Colorado

Events for contestants under Is years

There was plenty or competition in

NELSON SHOWN UP.
Fight Films Demonstrate That He
Butted Cans.

The Cans. Nelson fight pictures, vhie n
were nut on exhibition recently at Chi
caeo, have been the main topic of the
Chicago sporting element since their
initial production. Billy Nolan. and
George Siler have both openly pinned
their faith on what the pictures would
reveal, Nolan to support his contention
that Siler was not in a position 10
determine whether the blow that ended
the fight was foul, and Sller to contro'
vert this claim.
OF course the wordy war between
the two which broke out immediately
after the light and still continues, has
made good business for the, pictures,
and ss Nolan is particularly inter
ested in their financial drawing power,
there is more than suspicion that a
GOOD deal of his yelling has been
done to advertise them. The trouble
is that he. has rather overdoue the
thing. and Siler's $4,000 damage suit
for SANDER is facing him as a result.
IT IS rather joke that after all
that has been said and done the pic
lures do not definitely decide any"
thing. The opinion OF those who have
seen them are numerous and varied.
Nelson = partlsans claim that Siler was
not in position where he eohld see
the blow IN question, while the
referee's friends are equally positive
that the films show that he was. But
the camera reveals one fact beyond
dispute, and upon which Nolan and
his allies arc cosspicuouely silent
that Nelson persistently and cont>n-
ualy fouled Cans almost from the
tap of the bell 10 the final round
with his butting tactics, and The only
wonder is that Siler let The fight 60 as
far as he did Tf there has been

have found plenty of excuses for pull
