Bible Readings, and Things.

When you have the blues"
and can see no silver lining to the
dark clouds that are constantly
above you, read the twenty-seventh
Psalm. When your neighborS are
unkind to you and even those near
and dear to you slight you, read
the fifteenth Psalm. When you
are discouraged about your work
and nothing seems to go right
read the one hundred and twenty
six Psalm. When you are all out
of sorts and hardly know what the
matter is, read the twelfth chapter
of Hebrews. When you are losing
your confidence in mankind, read
the thirteenth chapter of Corin-
thians. If you can't have your
own way, then silence is gold and
you will get relief by reading
the third chapter of James. When
you want all the late news from
reliable source, read the paper
which you now hold in your
hands.

Our South Side Nelqhbsf

L. F. Henry of Stafford, Kas.,
boasts of the big wheat crops that
are being raised in Stafford coun-
ty, which ranks second in wheat
production in the state. Mr..
Henry states that the farmers out
there are banking on a big crop
this year, as the conditions are
now very favorable. Stafford
county is the home of the big
gang plow," said Mr.. Henry.
The old way of blowing with a
team of horses is too slow for the
wheat raisers in that country. The
plow most used is the one that
turns IA burrows, which of course
is drawn by an engine. 1t has
been found that ground can be
plowed with these big plows at a
cost of about 30 cents an acre,
which is doing the work at a very
low price. OF course teams arc
used on the farm for other work
ard for seeding purposes. also in
the harvesting of grain. But the
gang pillow is a great help for the
wheat raisers. '-Drovers Tele-

DR.. KLEUBER was MURDERED.
Vas FaaRd in His Bed With His
Threat Cut.

A letter received by ElIinwood
friends was written in Mexico on
Jan. Sd by DR.. .,Kleuber's daugh-
ter, which. gives the .stratling in
formation that the doctor was
murdered.
AS we get the story it is as fol-
lows: The old doctor was living
IN a house by himself, and practic-
ing medicine, in Topolobampo.
He was last seenon the premises
Onithe 18thOf December.
On the oath a neighbor woman
noticed that the fowls about the
place appeared to be without any
attention, and going over to the
home she found one door ajar and
looking inside noticed that the
premises looked neglected. She
reported to the neighbors, and
when they went over and entered
the house finding the old doctor
lying in bed with his throat cut.
He was covered up with the bed
clothes. $50 in cash which was
known to have been in his medi-
cine case was missing as was also
some ofhis under clothes and some
bedding. There was other money
, in the house that was not disturb
ed.
The officers, after making an
examination, said he had evidently
ueen KILLED. on tne night OF the
9 Dist. A half witted fellow had
been seen about the place about
the 10Th, but had since disappear
ed.
Later. 1t developes that a num-
Der of the old DOCTORS friends
here and at Ellinwood recently re-
ceived postal cards, written by the
doctor and dated Dec. Dist the
1'date he is supposed to have been
killed. Those cards we're, some
. of them, written in Spanish, and
unintelligible to those who receiv-
ed them, but were in Kleuber's
handwriting. This would tend to
Indicate that he may have taken
his own life.

Judge Wall Dead.

Wichita, Kas. Jan.-16. Judge
I. B. Wall of this city died on
the 18th in Los Angeles, Calf,
where he went about four weeks
ago with the hope of improving
his health, which began to fail last
July.
Judge Wall was born forty-nine
years ago in Illinois and was edu-
Gated at McKendree college of
BellVille, III. He worked his way
through college by teaching
school. While in school he was a
chum of Governor. Deneen, the
present governor of Illinois, and
was a SchoOlmate of the lieutenant
governor of that state, Judge
Sherman.
Judge Wall came to Wichita in
1878, Immediately after entering
the bar, and began to practice
here. In that same year he went
into partnership with Mr.. W. E.
Stanley and practiced with him
until December, 1883, when he
was appointed Judge of the district
court by Governor John A. Mar
tin and held the Office for one
year. He was then elected to ill
out an unexpired term of that
court. He held that position for
another year.

No More Foot Ball at Barnard.

Boston Mass, Jan. 16.-Foot-
ball has been abolished at Harvard
pending reform in the game that
will be acceptable to the board of
Oyerseers, according to an official
announcement today from the
university. The discontinuance
of the game is a result of a vote
taken last week at a secret meeting
of the board of overseers, when
it was decided that intercollegiate
football at Harvard would not be
permitted until the rules and reg
ulations had been so changed and
amended as to remove what the
.OverseeS regard as the evils of
the present game.
The Overseers' accepted unan-
imOusly' Che opinions of special
committee that the game as at
present played is essentially bad
in every respect, that the method
of formation encourages trickery
and foul play, and that the result
is bad for the morals of the play
ers as we'll as for the body.

ADVERTISING IDAHO COUNTY.

Now that election is over, the Grange
vile Standard-News will devote its edi-
torial ability and much space each week
to setting forth the many advantages
Idaho county offers to the settler COM
ing from the thiclSly settled states in
the east. In its last issue the paper
contained an editorial column and a
half in length, briefly outlining the ex-
cellent openings for capital and labor.
The paper will give considerable space
each week until the prospective settler
has fair idea of the natural resources
of our county, and what can be accom-
plished by those who will use their brain
and their muscle. The paper says:
Although we have said it again and
again, through these columns, we re-
peat it, that this is country of wonder
full and varied resources and there are
thousands of people of small and large
capital looking for just such openings
as are to be found here, but the trouble
is that we do not advertise enough and
few people know what we have to offer
them.
Our vast mineral resources are of such
magnitude as to keep hundreds of giants
at work on the placers, scores and
scores of stamp mills grinding away
upon the quartz deposits and the native
copper of such quantities as to support
a number of shelters.
No person or paper in idaho county
could engage in more laudable enter
prise than that which the Grangeville
paper has undertaken to do. This
paper believes with it's Grangeville
brother, that the only reason Idaho
county is not as well developed, or bet
ter developed, at the present time than
any other county in the state, is because
the county has not been advertised.
For the past eight years, or, since the
last period Of commercial depression in
the United States, the northwest has
developed and grown in population at a
very rapid rate, and the state of Idaho
has fallen far short Of getting it's share
of the new settlers. And why? Simply
because the newcomer went to some
place in Oregon or Washington which
they knew so much about, place that
had been advertised. Neither Wash
ington or Oregon has the best of Idaho
in climate, natural resources and the
things the soil will produce, yet this
state has watched its neighbors grow
rich and populous,. while it is still in 9
practically undeveloped condition. 1t is
because prospective settlers have hearc
very little about Idaho.
The time is now cipe for Idaho to tool
its horn, and particularly Idaho county

A TIME FOR DEFINITE RESULTS.

A TIME FOX DEFINITE RESULTS.
The next two years will witness
vigorous effort on the part OF political
party bosses to manufacture material
to be used in the campaign of 1908.
Particularly the republican party will
need some accomplishment to point to
after an almost continuous service for
the past fifty years. Already there
have come assurances that number
of ancient infant industries shall be in
vestigated, and all combinations that
restrict competition and prevent free
dom in trade shall be dissolved. Stand
ard Oil is the first on the carpet, and
st. Louis is the city chosen for the pro-
ceedings to be held.
1t is to be hoped the result will be of
more real benefit in the cause of good
government than was the pure food
bill and the denatured alcohol bill, two
of the products of the last congress, not
to say anything about that railroad bill.
The last named bill had its teeth and
claws pulled in the senate, and the
other two operate through departments
in Washington in which more graft has
been shown to exist than was uncovered
in Philadelphia or San Francisco.
Things have reached the point where
something definite must be done. The
people will not be put off longer. Prose-
cution of corporations must be reali
nothing after fashion will do. A fine
of $4,000, such as was assessed against
Standard Ooil In Ohio, when it was in
the power of the court to make the fine
SIS, 900, 900, is travesty on justice and

opportunity, Standard Oil can unlaw.
fully reimburse itself for that amount
at every whirl of the minute hand Of

The voter should adjust his glasse:
and calmnly watch and study this ties
of party sincerity that is in progress!
in st. Louis. The offensive is taken by
party that in the campaigns of 1891
and 1900 ridiculed the idea that such
thing as Trust" existed, but which
goaded on by "demagogues' and tn,
''yellows," it has at last come to recog
nize IN the last presidential campaign
it was explained that the trusts wer
necessary evils that had grown up dur
ing our season of unprecedented pros
perity. Then it dawned upon the part
leaders, outside the United States sen
ate, that the trust was not good thin
and some impeachment should be place
in its path.
The time for serious thought by a
voters has come. The sincerity of tn
republican party is to be put to the test
If the prosecutions against incorporate
capital are the real thing, then tn
party can ask of the people a return t
power two years hence, and it will &c
it. But if the prosecutions prove
farce who is there who would say,
the light of the last election, what til
next few years will bring forth.
