HOMESEEEERS BY LOADS
Farmers from Missouri are Select
ing Homes in this Section.

A number of hOmeseekers
from Missouri came in this week
and lost no time in going out to
investigate the vacant lands in
this vicinity. Locating Agent
Grant got busy and with several
rigs took the party out that they
might see the lands and select
places.
H0meseekers are sure to come.
This place is being extensively
advertised, more especially by
the parties who come here from
time to time, see the country
and go back to tell their home
people just what there is here.
One thing we will warn our
of and that is to
watch out for schemes. Every
new country has its share of
fakirs who work on the fancies
Of newcomers, and if one scheme
won't work another will. Home
seekers as a rule have labOred
hard for their money and it is a
dirty shame for them to fall in
the clutches of human leeches
Just to buy the other fellows

been remarkably free from fax

homeseekers. There is a way to
keep out of schemers' paws if
the right kind of tactics are car
RED out in selecting the right
parties from whom to get inform
alton.
We want to see the homeseek-
ers come and make this section
heir home by settling and i'm
proving our lands and if they
will do this all will be well and

'tarve out of business.

The Painter Won.

Often have painters and sculptors
discussed the relative merits of paint

an artist who resented the disparaging
comparisons made by sculptor and
laid wager that he could within a
given time paint a picture which should
display the human figure as complete
ly as any sculptor could.
The wager was accepted. and upon the
appointed day painting was produc-
ell which fulfilled all the conditions. 1t

whore Beecher Got Hl. sermonu.

where BeecheF Got His Sermons.
Wherever he went Beecher continued
his study of life through observation.
Nothing else was half so Interesting.
To him man was the greatest study in
the world. To read human nature, to
place the right values upon men, to
emphasize the right thing in them, to
be able to discriminate between the
genuine and the false. to be able to
pierce their masks and read the real
man or woman behind them, was an
accomplishment which he regarded as
one of clergyman's greatest weapons.
Like Professor .AgasSiz. who could
see wonders In the scale Of fish or a
grain of sand, Beecher also had an eve
like the glass Of microscope, which
reveals marvels of beauty in the dross
and common things. 1t had a magnI-
tying power which sees the miraculous
and beautiful in the commonplace. He
could see beauty and harmony where
others only saw ugIiness and discor,l.
because he read the hidden meaning in
things. Like Ruskln, he could see the
marvellous philosophy. the Divine plan,
in the lowliest object. He could feel
the Divine presence In all created
things.-OrisOn SWEET Marden In Sue

RANT HEAVY RANT
The Reason it Rains Regularly is
Because Farmers are Taking
up HOmesteads.

Friday evening between . and
z o'clock it rained and rained
till the main streets of the town
were flooded and the low lands
near town were under water and
presented another scene of the
California SaltOn sea. Just as
the rain commenced there was
heavy wind but no damage was
done that can be learned. Along
with the dOwnpour long rum bling
thunder rolled and rerolled over
head until the heavens sounded
like the march of heavy artillery
while the earth below was being
drenched and soaked. Why does
it rain in this country with such
calendared regularity now where
as it used to rain once q year
maybe and maybe not? The
answer is easy. God Almighty
has always followed the man
with the hoe and now that farm
ers are coming in to settle up
this rich valley it must neces-
sarily rain and it does rain, hence
Gods country!

Tribe. Of niue Eyed Indiana.

Red haired negroes are scarce enough,

is seen in the Griegos Indians. near the
City of Mexico. They are light COM

eyes and light hair They dress prin-
cipally in two shades of blue, and their
clothing Is good and well made and
generally ornamcntcd with the bead
and silk embroidery of which Indians
are so fond. Their houses are better
built and furnished than is usual
among Indians. and many have pianos
and other musical instruments, upon
which they PLAY with considerable skill.
These GriegOs have no commercial Cr
social connections with other tribes,
holding aloof from even those who live
at tile base of the mountain on which
the village is situated They raise
their own food, 20 their own manu-
featuring, have their own schools,

seldom or never marry outside their

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPED
Sawed Out Early Monday Even
ing and Skipped Out.

About 8 o'clock Monday night
it was discovered that two pris-
Oners had made their escape
from the Jail. From Jailor
BrandfOrd it was learned that
Domingo Chaves and George
CASTOR alias George Van Cott
must have made their escape
from the Jail near 8 or 6 O'Clock
Monday evening. Mr.. Brand
ford did not miss the prisoners
until about 9o'clock at night.
Jess Bruebaker stated that lust
before night that evening he
noticed the prisoners swinging
back on the bars of one of the
windows but thought of nothing
unusual about it until he learn
ed of the escape of the prisoners.
They sawed out, or cut some
bars and then by force bent the
bars back and made their exit,
and no doubt were assisted by
an outsider or outsiders in order
to get down the wall from the
second story. All this saving
and making ready to get out
must have been going on while
commissioners court was in ses-
sion, and sheriff Phillips was in
the commissioners court room
most of the time during Monday.
Domingo Chaves was charged
with burglary in connection with
the Mitchell robbery and had
been in Jail several months.
George CASTOR alias George Van
Cott was charged with burglary
having been caught with a num-
Der of locks in his possession
some months ago. A strict search
has been inaugurated in order
to head the fellows off and effect
their capture.

GALLAUDET LEAVES FIELD
Baltimore University Resorts to
Rough Tactics.
Mutes Win by Score of o to q, and
Clearly OutpIay Their Opponents.
Visitors Play Rough Game.

Gallaudet College defeated Baltimore
University, at Kendall Green. yesterday
afternoon by the score of to 0 in the
toughest football game seen in Wash
ingtOn this season.
With but a few minutes Of the second
half to be played, several of the visitors
resOrted TO rough tactics. Capt. KutzIeb
became disgusted with the conduct of the
BalumOreans and ordered his team from
the field At the time the ball was IN
the visitors territory, in possession Of
the Mutes. During the entire contest the
Gallaudet team always held their op-
ponents safe. and the better part Of the
time had the pigskin in close proximity
to the Monumental City eleven's goal
line.
The only touchdown OF the game was
made within five minutes Of the kick-off
on runs past the ends by Mosey, Hcrner,
Sharp. Kutzleb. and Shanklin. It looked
as though the locals would score several
more touchdowns in the first half. but
frequent fumbIes and penalties ruined
their chances. Capt. Kutzleb played the
best game for the Kendall Green squad
He was the most consistent ground
gamer, and handled punts cleanly Mos
ey. Sharp, and Horner also acquitted
themselves CTeditably.
Burns was the best ground gamer for
the visitors, and Logan and Platt did
well on the defensive.
