Captured ii Bass.

Our friend, Geo w. Eagle, in
forms us that he recently captured
a black bass in the Palo Duro at
Canyon City, which weighed go
pounds. This is considered a big
fish in Canyon City and of course
Mr.. Eagle is now the head Usher
man of that city; but such experts
as Sam Dunn and Geo. Dale claim
that they are accustomed to throw
inc this size back into the clear
waters of the beautiful TERRA
Blanco. Nothing under a six
FOUNDER causes either of these gen
tlemen to realize that they have
been fishing. -Hereford Brand.
Reading this account from "way
up the crick' at least thirty miles,
the outside world would hardly
gather that Canyon City not only
has the Palo DurO but the "beauti-
full Terra Blanco' also. Such is
the fact, however, and at present
our head fisherman, not according
to "claim" as the Brand would
have it on behalf of Hereford, but
in line with Just and true weights,
is u. S. Gober with six-pounder.
If mere claims were considered a
ten-pound bass would be a common
catch for Canyon City, Bro. Ray.

A Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one
from London and one from New
York. were discussing the weather
in their respective countries. -
The Engllshman said that En-
glish weather had one great fault
its sudden changes.
"a person may take a walk one
day." he said, "attired in light
summer suit, and still feel quite
warm. Next day he needs an
overcoat."
"That's nothing" said the Am
erican. "My two friends, Johnson
and Jones, were once having an
argument. There were eight or
nine inches of snow on the ground.
The argument got heated, and
Johnson picked up a Snowbal' and
threw it at Jones from a distance of
not more than five yards. During
the transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, be-
lieve me or not, as you like, the
weather suddenly changed and be-
came hot and summer.like, and
Jones, instead of being hit with a
snowfall, was -er-Scalded with
hot water'

The Human Soul

ono man cares for my soul.
Such was the utterance of the
psalmist King David in his sup
plication to the Lord upon one
occasion and such was the text
taken by Rev. J. M. Carroll, at
the Baptist church Tuesday
night. In applying it the preach
er directed attention to the gen.
.eral, and oftimes the extreme
anxiety the general run of peo-
pie and especially protested
Christians have in temporal mat
tiers, the physical and financial
troubles of their children,
friends, neighbors and towns
people, and compared this with
their seemingly utter indifference
to the future of the immortal
part-the soul
cam | my brothers keeper"
The scriptural answer to this
interrogatory, including many
times as it does the incompara-
Bile value of the human soul,
was applied and forcibly dem
onstrated by Mr., Carroll and
made a deep impression on his
attentive audience.

and better street car service is the
platform of the united citizens party,
composed largely of the church ele-

was coupled with the charge that the
gas plant has been operated for num-
Der, of years by the Galesburg Railway

and that the price of gas is exorbitant.
The citizens party urges that a fran
chise for a further use of the streets
be refused until the price of gas is re-
duced to a dollar. The party indirectly
declares for municipal ownership.

CALLS ON SOUTH.
Judge Parker Urges Democrats
of That Section to
Take Lead
WITH PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Conditions i'm North Not Favorable to
Developing Suitable Ma
terial

Charlotte, n. c., March IL Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York, demo
4 cratic candidate for president in the
| last election, last night in an address
| before the Manufacturers club of this
city, urged the southern democrats to
take the leadership of the party. He
declared they should do this because
| they had ever been faithful TO the par
ty whether in victory or defeat, while
the contrary was the party condition
in the north.
Referring to his defeat, Parker said:
In 1896 you tried Nebraska, and since
that day no old democratic northern
state has accredited one OF our party
TO the United States senate and in
none has there been friendly COVER
nor. All the democratic training
schools of the north-elementary, in
termediate and higher-were closed and
have remained so.
Paralysis Complete.
THE party paralysis was complete
and almost fatal. In 1904. hoping to
cure or palliate it, you advised return
ing again to New York for your candi-
date, only to meet the worst defeat in
our party history 1t is now nearly
twelve years since any man protesting
devotion to your party has been chosen
in the nation or any northern demo
cratic state to fill an important eXecu-
tive office. At the last election. per-
haps eight out of ten of the voters
then under so were ranged with our
opponents, and today the party organ
izatiOns are lifeless, their one-time |
leaders are dead, or have been abdi- |
Gated, or worse, have become repub- |
licans, while in more than one state
the threat hangs over them that they |
may become the victims of the spoiler,
the destructive, or the corruptionist.
Sees Further Destruction.
when such conditions confront you,
why should you hesitate any longer
until the democrats of Nebraska and !
New York and other northern states
have brought forth the fruits - meet
for repentance, as they are threaten
ing to give themselves and the party
over to further uc4on-should you
not assert yourself
The time has come when really eff
fective democrats of the country
should be recognized and when they
themselves no longer hesitate to de-
cline or refuse to seek or to accept
hose honOrs which are their just due
or work well done 1t may be posi-
