What Our Neighbors Say.

The Canyon City News last
week issued one o. the most
credita Die special editions ever
seen in this section. 1t was
very full and complete in char
acter, and aoundantIy justified
the promises the management
had made for it.-CIareDdon
Banner-StOckmdn.
The special edition of The
Canyon City News of June 29th,
/ is one OF the handsOmest publ
cations ever issued in the Pan
handle, and the publishers de-
serve all the nice things being
said by their neighbors. 1t is d
general write-up of the town
and Randall County, and yet
The News is liberal enough TO
admit that there are other good
sections of this plains country.
Claude News.
Last weeks issue of the Can.
yon City News consisted of
twelve pages, full Of splendid
descriptive matter and well
printed half tones, and the $500
copies issued will certainly be
the greatest help to Randall
county that has ever appeared.
AT the same time, Judging from
the advertising patronage, Edi- |
tor Brandon lost money on his
enterprise, and the deduction is
natural that the town must have |
sense enough to support its one
newspaper before it can expect
any marked permanent growth,
as the people generally have
sense enough to know that a
good newspaper town is good
town every other way.-Roswell
Register-Tribune.

w. J. Luna of Broncho has been
on our streets several days this
week. He denies coming after
supplies saying that he has more
good things in that line down at
broncho than we have. His proper
errand he will not tell, but his near
friends here, and Bill has not a few,
Say'that he owns about the center
section of his county, Yoakum, and
that he is trying to organize and
get the county seat. From this it
may be inferred that among other
things Bill is here trying to borrow
citizens and naturally enough he
comes among his old friends to get
them.

The Doctor Away from home
When Most Needed.

People are often very much
disappointed to find that their
family physician is away from
home v hen they most need his
services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal be.
tore medicine can be procured
or a physician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand a
bottle of Cham berlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
No physician can prescribe a
better medicine for these dis
eases. BY having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffer
ng and all risk. Buy it now; it
nay save life. For sale by S.

At WELLINGTON
Decker, Bowman and Glib
son Address a Large
Audience.

On last Monday afternoon a.
the court house in this CITY Sen.
ator =. E, Decker, of Quanah,
Representative J. r. Bowman,
Of Amarillo, and ". r. Gibson.
OF Claude, Mr.. Bowman's oppo.
nent IN the race, addressed a
large and attentive audience.
Senator Decker was the first to
take the rostrum and after read
ing a letter that had been hand
ed to him by a friend of candi-
date Vea.e in which Mr.. Veale
stated that no one was author
lzed 10 say that be would be
here, Senator Dec ker went over
the main points OF his record
and received siderable ap-
plause. He was followed by
Mr.. Bowman, who made a hit
with his fowery utterances.
However, there was quite a mum.
Der, among them the Courier
editor, who failed 10 see the
point when Mr.. Bowman urged
that special legislation 10
change the trackage of the
Santa Fe Railway as il now runs
from Panhandle City TO Wash
burn TO direct run from Pan
handle City to Amarillo, would
be measure in accordance with
Democratic principles and re-
dound indirectly TO the adyan
tage of the whole district even
while materially advancing
Amarillo's interests. Mr.. Bow
man stated that from the col
umns of the Collingsworth |
Courier had come the only real |
that had eyer been |
advanced against this measure,
viz: that it was a dangerous
precedent and admitting that
even be under ordinary circum-
stances would consider it such,
out that in this case be believed
hat existing conditions JUS
fled the move, inasmuch as

whatever would make Amarillo
larger and greater as a whole
sale center would rebound to
the advantage OF the whole
Panhandle in making cheaper
freight rates and keener compe-
tition on supplies. SO far as
we are concerned we still differ
with Mr.. Bowman, believing as
we do that this dangerous pre-
cedent might be used in after
years by other railroads as an
argument for allowing them TO
change their tracks and kill
towns and depreciate both town
and farm property values at
their own sweet Will. Nor do
we believe that it is just to the
people of WaShburn, and people
OF the immediate country from
Washburn to Panhandle CITY.
no matter how few there be. to
tear up this track and thus de
preciate their property values
and further remove them from
transportation facilities. 1t is
certainly not in accordance with
our idea Of equal rights 10 all
and special privileges to none.
Furthermore no evidence has
been adduced to show that
freight rates would thus be re
duced, nor that Amarillo would
become greater wholesale cen
ter than il now is with Santa Fe
trains now running through
Wash burn, thence over the
F. W. & D. c. track TO Amarillo.
But withal, Mr.. Bowman's
speech was well taken by his
audience on account Of his force,
full delivery and splendid Ian
guage and We admit frankly that
as hard as was his position to
to defend, he did it very clever
ly.
Mr.. Gibson in manner COW
cred the ground just gone over,
taking the opposite view to that
OF Mr.. Bowman and stating that
this matter had twice come be-
fore the railroad mission
and that body had refused to
consider it and even gone so far
as to threaten the Santa Fe
Company with a forfeiture of
its charter if this question
should De brought before them

in that movement Are they to be
read out of the party with me?
The best evidence that I am Re
publican, perhaps, lies in the fact that
i shall vote for you. I do not consider
that your position has any bearing on
the point at issue so you can be assur-
ed of that one vote at least When II
comes to the candidates for lieutenant
governor and railroad commissioners
as Kipling says, That is another story.
Now word about the seductive oil
refinery proposition Why should It not
be seductive2 The 10000 stockholders
IN Kansas see in the Uncle Sam propo-
sition at least an honest effort 10 DO
business in the face of the opposition
of the most aggressive and mammoth
aggregation of capital in the history OF
the world. Things have been done and
the stockholders in some of the com
panies which have long since passed in
their checks, one of which had the ms
tinguished honor of having you for 4
sponsor. have long since kissed their
money goodby. There have been so
many failures in the oil business that
any proposition that bears evidence OF
being successful is bound to be seduc-
tive. In fact it looks so seductive 10
the people who have their money in
vested in the Uncle Sam company that
they are quickly alive TO any condition,
political or otherwise, which threatens
to harm the growth and strength OF the
company. That is why certain mem
bers of the Republican ticket nomina-
ted at Topeka and who are supposed to
be allied with the railroads and the
oil trust, have failed to win the support
of some of the stockholders of the
Uncle Sam Oil company and myself.
They, like myself. will refuse to be read
out of the Republican party by any self
constituted press agent whose sympa-
thies are known to be with the corpor-
ations. If the attempt to keep the adj
vantage the independent oil men have
gained in this state comes under the
head of 'freakish scheme then, Mr..
N1cNeal you are quite right when you
state that Tucker will spring other
freakish schemes ere the leaves begin
to tura.
In conclusion wish to call your at
tention to one more fact Whan the
Republican county convention met at
Independence last Saturday an attempt
was made to spring some resolutions
censuring the Uncle Sam Oil company
and myself. The best evidence that
am a good Republican lies in the fact
that these good Republicans right here
at my own home refused to be led by
the representative of subsidized news
paper and a personal enemy who has
no standing either at home OF abroad.
Respectfully.

NEW INSURANCE COMPANY.
The New Century Life Has Been Or
gained In Topeka.

An application will be filed with the
state charter board tomorrow asking
that they grant a charter to the New
Century Life Union, an insurance or
ganization which is being formed, and
which will Lave headquarters in Tope-
ka. The board of directors consists of
J. W. Haughey, president, of Topeka;
L. G. Beal, Topeka, secretary. D. l.
Lakin- Topeka, treasurer; A H Hessler.
Overlook, auditor; Charles Mains d
Topeka and c. NJ Cole of Phillipsburg,
vice presidents: DR.. G. ". Altman OF
Atchison and J. II. Outland of Topeka,
medical directors, and A. NJ Harvey Of
Topeka, general attorney.
The charter will be asked under the
laws governing fraternal organizations
in the state but the association will en-
body many of the features of the old
life insurance companies. The company
expect to write four different policies,
an immediate relief, a whole life, a life
and endowment, written on the expect
ancy Of life and an accident policy
"Our policies" said ]. ". Haughey
president Of the new formed COM
pany. will combine the better fea-
lures of the old line companies as well
as some Of the more successful ideas
now in use with the fraternal organi-
cations It is well understood by
those who are posted as to insurance
in its different phases that the price
paid for fraternal insurance is below
cost and that a company doing busi-
ness on this basis cannot last when
new business stops and it Is depend
ent upon the income from its policies
already written. The changes which
are being made in these companies
ia ken with the numerous failures of
fraternal insurance companies indl-
cate that this statement is absolutely
correct The recent exposures made
in the mana cement of the larger old
line life insurance com panies indicate
that those who are carrying old line
life insurance are paying considerab bly,
more than an ordinary profit to the
stockholders of the companies. We
claim for our company an inter
mediate ground. Our policies viii
cost slightly more than those of the
ordinary fraternal insurance COM
panies and a great deal less than the
poIicies of the old line companies. We
claim that we are assuming policy
between the two which viii make our
policies an attractive proposition to
purchasers OF life insurance
There is one feature which We en-
bodv in our policy which is exceptional
and that is the fact that our life
policies are based on the life expec-
tancv of the insured and instead Of
selling twenty-five year policy to a
man sixty years of age we are pre-
pared to sell him a policy which will
fall due when he arrives at his ex-
pectancy which in this case would be
Twelve instead of twenty-five years.
Most Of our board of directors and
officers are residents of Topeka and
the remainder of them are well known

WON'T ROB OR KILL ANY MORE
Indian Territory Murderer and Robter
Meets Summary Vengeance.

Oklahoma City May 24-It has been
learned here that a double murder to
cover q robbery, followed by a lynching,
has occurred in the wilds of mountains
in the Chickasaw nation.
The affair occurred two weeks ago.
The participants in the tragedy were
mountaineers who agreed among them
selves to keep the aaffir secret.
Two weeks ago an unknown man
went to the home of R. T. Tut, who
lives near the base Of the mountains,
and demanded food. He was refused
by Mrs. Tut, who found it necessary
to enforce her refusal by the display
Of a gun. A few days later, a nearby
farm house occupied by two maiden
women was broken into, the sisters shot
in an endeavor to protect themselves
and robbed of $500 in cash. Neighbors
discovered the deed and posse was
organized. The murderer was trailed
to the woods and upon his discovery
was shot down in cold blood. Upon
the return of the boys from the woods
the only remarks in response to fnquir-
les were, well. they guessed he would
not rob nor murder anybody else"

REPUDIATE BOOK OF FORMS.
Presbyterians May Use 1t But Pub
LEGATION Isn't Authorized.


Des Moines, May 24.-The famous
controversy and debate over the pro-
posed Presbyterian book of forms
ended in the general assembly late yes
terday afternoon IN a compromise in
which all words that might indicate
that the book is authorized were
stricken from the resolution and the
text and title pages of the book itself
and in which the resolution of opposi-
ton was also Incorporated declaring
specifically that the assembly made no
recommendation with reference to it.
With these limitations the report of
DR.. Henry Van Dykes committee was
adopted and all bitterness between the
factions avoided. The book of forms
will continue to be published but no.
thing to indicate that it bears any au-
assembly all such words and phrases
having been stricken out. It will be
published merely FOR the purpose
contemplated by the general assem- bly,
of 1905. and for voluntary use"
BY its action the assembly virtually
rescinded the action of the three pre-
ceding assemblies of 1908, 1904 and
1908, in which progressive steps were
taken for an authorized book of FORMS
The compromise was agreed upon
after numerous conferences between
DR.. Van Dyke. DR. Moffatt and Dr.
William T. McCauley of Cincinnati, the
latter leader of the opposition. The
resolutions offered were in accord with
the understanding reached by them
and the vote was unanimous
