"The Good Die Young"

Mabel McKibben, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John McKibben, was born
February l, 1895, in Hamlin town.
ship and died at her fathers home
on the farm known as the Uncle q.
I. Poage place, three miles south
of Extra, on Sunday July 90, 1906.
Here also were conducted the fune-
raj services on Tuesday, by Rev.
F. FL. Richardson, pastor of the
congregational church at Extra.
The lesson for our comfort was
taken from the raising of Jairus'
daughter. In life Mabel was ad.
mired and loved by her assoc iatee,
and in death she was very beautiful.
Jesus had a better right to her than
we and 80 he has taken her to Join
the chorus of heaven. The kind
sympathy of the neighbors and
friends was manifested since her
sickness, which was considered se-
rious since TIE Fourth of July; and
the family desires hereby to express
their appreciation for kindness
shown in their hour of sore trouble.
Like beautiful flower she has
been plucked from the garden of
our hearts and laid to rest in the
Extra Cemetery but she has only
gone before to call us up to heaven
to be with Jesus where she now ia
with the angels, filled with Joy,
before the greatwhite throne. ~

BLEAK SHETLAND.
Its swarms of Sea Gulls and It's Ion.
Tree.

Its Swarms of Sea Gulls and It's lone
Tree.
Up little lane off Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least, 1t is
IN Enclosed space. In the middle of
this space there is a tree. 1t is not a
very tall tree; you could, in fact, toss
biscuit over its branches, but still it
is tree-the only tree in Shetland.
And Shetland is proud of it. Children
who are brought for the first time to
see the wonders Of one streeted Ler-
wick are shown this tree. This is not
fiction. 1t Is the only tree in Shetland.
AS there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except, of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are the
sparrows of Lerwick, and, as such,
they have greater share in the towns
life than have the sparrows of London.
In the morning time you will note that
sea gull sits on every chimney pot
Sea gulls swoop and hover over every
roof in the town.
The air Is full of their strange, high,
plaintive, haunting cries. Their sad,
shrill, long drawn cries are to Lerwick
as the chattering Of sparrows or the
cawing of rocks are to US in England
Every house has its own familiar sea
gulls and every street its own band of
sea gulls. They never mix. The chill
dren in each house have pet name for
their own particular sea gulls, and,
having called them to them by those
names, they feed them every day. And
each sea gull knows what is meant for
him. No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the house next door. He does not
dare; the other gulls would kill him.
So all day long the sea gulls hover and
call over the roofs of Lerwick. The
people Of the town. If they come across
little pile of rice laid upon the road
way, step over it with care. They
know that it is placed there for some
sea gull. And at night the sea gulls
leave their own appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the Isle
Of Noss.-London Express.

That fast bunch of players, the
Hopkins Brothers base ball team,
of Des Moines, came to Extra last
Monday to play a game with our
boys, and after having them beaten
a mile by the gilt.edged playing of
every member of our team, who
held them safe all the way up to the
seventh inning; knocking Thomas
out of the box, who was replaced by
"Smoke" Madigan; at which time
Exira's catcher, Earl Brownie, who
had been sick in bed all the day
before, was forced to retire which
80 demoralized our team that the
visitors batted out victory in the
last two innings; but such is the
fate of base ball game. In the
language of the poet: "Stick and
hang young man; it's the last six
inches that wins the race; and a
game is never out till it's played
out. The score by innings follows:

were shut out, five to nothing. The
game was snappy and fast on both

also had great deal to do with the
result. Phillips pitching would

Hiccoush at Dinner.

Many persons are debarred from din
ing out owing to their liability to con-
tract hiccough during meal. AS a
rule when caused by food it comes on
at once, and equally as rule the food
causing it is hot. Soups are more like
~ to provoke hiccough than solids are.
1t is good plan to forego soup, which
can be done without causing remark,
says Home Notes. Or one may eat a
little bread before taking it. A third
plan is to drink little cold water and
to take the soup in very small sips.

The INDIANS
EXTRA WONDERS

Batteries: For Extra, Basil Sergeant
and Earl Brownie; Indians, Williams
and Fish. Summary: Struck out by
Sergeant, 6; by Williams s; two base
hits, Kelsey, Knox; hits, Extra, a; Indians,
2; umpire, Will Delahoyde.
The evening game played by the
light of gasoline lamps strung on
ropes about the diamond, was
eurely novelty in the way of base
ball, and in which the Indians, who
are courteous and fine lot of look.
ing players, were particularly at
home; made one thing of the game
known as term ball, when they used
to "snat' the ball and yell, "Tag,
you're it." A very large crowd was
present at both the afternoon and
night games; the. antics of the In
dian pitcher at night kept every.
body in good humor and all seem
ed to thoroughly enjoy the fun
which grew so fast and furious
that Will Delahoyde, who started
in to umpire, couldn't stand it any
longer so changed places with
McCarl and pitched part of the
game which resulted IN the score
OF seven to three in favor of the In
diane. They used a rubber ball to
play with, had paddle for a bat
and when a brave would hit it, it
would sound like throwing a brick
into pan of dough. The Indians
have played sixty-nine games this
season and have only been beat six
times; four of them in Iowa as fol-
lows: Carroll in a fifteen inning
game; Jefferson. Waverly and Extra
so we are one of the Big Four.
They beat Adair ten to nothing, AT.

teen to three and Walnut eight to
nothing.

JAPANESE COMPLAINT
GOES TO COURT
San Francisco Board of Educa-
tien is Enjoined.
ANXIETY FELT AT WASHINGTON
Ambassador Aohi Calls en- Secretary
Root to Protest Against the Ex-
clusion Of a Japanese Child
From the Public Schools.

San Francisco, Cal.-Judge VOL
berton, of the United States Circuit
Court, has issued an order to the
Board of Education OF San Fran
cisco, citing that body to show cause
WHY an injunction should not issue.
compelling the reinstatement of I.
Yasuhara, a Japanese pupil recently
excluded from the Pacific Heights
Grammar School. This order fol-
lowed an application for Injunction
presented to Judge Wolberton.
1t is the intention to make this a
test case. The ground for asking an
Injunction was that the resolution CT
the Board of Education excluding
Japanese pupils from the city schools
is in violation of the Constitution of
the United States and also in viola
tion of a treaty now existing between
the United States and the Empire of
Japan.
A mass meeting Of the japanese
residents discussed the situation re-
garding the children's exclusion.
Washington, D. C.-Through &C
tivity on the part of the Department
of Justice a test cas- of the exclusion
of Japanese children from schools Of
San Francisco has been begun in the
United States Circuit Court in the
California city. According to I'M
official advices, a Japanese parent has
appealed for an injunction against
the Board of Education, and Judge
Wolberton, of the Circuit Court. has
called on the board to show cause
why an injunction should not be
granted restraining the board from
excluding the child of this Japanese
parent from a certain grammar
school. 1t is understood in Washing
ton that the step was taken through
agents Of the Department of Justice.
1t is about the only thing that the
Government can do to remedy the
fconditions which exist in San Fran
cisco. The result Of the hearing in
the case will be most important.
If the Board of Education If re-
strained from excluding Japanese
children the existing diplomatic sit
uation will be materially clarified
here. In such an event the State
Department may inform the Japanese
Government that there has been no
infringement of treaty rights.
The protest Of Viscount Aoki, the
Japanese Ambassador, to Secretary
Root against the exclusion of jap
anese children from the schools of
San Francisco, has caused a decided
stir in diplomatic circles, and is still
seriously worrying the Administra-
ton. The question has assumed. it
is admitted, more serious interna-
tional Importance than the San Fran
ciscans perhaps would believe.
There is now no concealment here
Of the fact that an anti-American
sentiment is rapidly growing in
JaDan.

STANDARD OIL TRUST FINED
Case In FindIay, Ohio, Ends With
$4,000 Penalty.
# Found Guilty on All Charges Corr
poration Might Have Had to Pay !:
$3,O00,0cO-Ohio to Prosecute.

Findlay, Ohio.-By q decision OF
Judge Bankes the Standard Oil Com
pany of the State was fined 5000:
for preventing competition. The
prosecution expected that the fine
would include each day since July s.,
1903, when the company was notified
to stop its methods. This would
have meant a fine, of about $1,000
900. '
The fine imposed is the limit for
one %offense, and the law, seipulates
that each day Of the illegal combina-
ton constitutes a separate one. From
this is computed the possibility of
the 100000 fine.
After imposing the fine the Court
ordered that the defendant COMPANY.
be allowed forty days in which to
prepare and file its bill of excep-
tions in the case, and another motion
by the Standard lawyers, Josehh O..
Troup, of Bowling Green, Ohio, and
S. H. Toller, of Cleveland, the SEN
tence imposed was ordered suspended.
for a period Of sixty days for the pur-;
pose of filing a petition on error I'm
this case. - -
It was also ordered that the GRIM
inal information pending against
John D. Rockefeller, the Buckeye
Pipe Line Company and the Manhat-
tan Oil Company be continued until
the next term of court.
The decision interests lawyers all
over the State. It. had+-been 1.-The
opinion that suits under. the Valen-
tine Antitrust law could be begun.
and then If the offending corporation
did not at once cease business 1t.
could be found guilty and fined for.
each days violation Of the law at the
rate of $4,000 a day.
Judge Banker holds that a separ-
ate conviction must be obtained for
every separate offense. He holds that
the Valentine law is SO planned that
the fines are not cumulative. In.
other cases which have been tried in
Ohio under the Valentine law. it has
been held. that separate convictions
are not necessary, and that a corpor-
alton found guilty of being a trust
must pay a fine for leach day on
which the law was violated.
