John 6. Sears Dead.

The remains of John G. Sears, we'll
known former resident of this vicinity,
arrived here last Thursday night from
Nodaway County, Missouri, where he
died on Thursday morning as the re-
suit of injuries received on Monday
night by the upsetting of carriage in
which he was riding home in company
with his two sons. 1t was not thought
that he was seriously injured at the
time, but his injuries were internal
and resulted in his death three days
after. The remains were taken to the
home Of his sister, Mrs. Hannah Cat
lift 81 miles west of Lineville, and the
funeral was held on Friday, conducted
by Rev. O. F. Howard, and the in
terment was at the Gatliff graveyard
in that neighborhood.
The deceased was born and raised
here but moved away several years ago
He leaves wife, three sons and one
daughter, and many relatives and
friends to mourn his untimely death
The bereaved widow and all of his
children with the exception of his ED
est son, Karl of Wyoming, who could
not be reached by wire, were present
at the funeral. His brother, Jas. H
Sears, of Smith Co., Kansas, was also
present as we'll as large number o.
relatives and former neighbors. He
was about so years of age.-Lineville

Anarchy for Anarchists.

Every criminal is a rebel against
government. Every rebel against gov
eminent is an anarchist to the extent
that he rebels. The saloon is the
mother of crime. The nursery of an
archy. 1t not only deties governmental
laws enacted for its suppression, BUTT
breeds crime and spreads it broadcast
over the sea of humanity like some con-
tageous disease. Every patron of the
saloon is patron to anarchy. Is the
mother who gives it suck; is one of the
foundation rocks on which it stands.
The saloon is inconsistent; it ever
ciamors for the protection of govern
ment for itself but insists in dealing
out anarchy for others. When Carrie
Nation with her Ratchet deals out a
little anarchy to the saloon, giving it a
little of it's own medicine, it is loud in
it's call for the protection of the govern
ment it has so long persisted in insult
ing and trying to destroy.
Taking the United States over it is
estimated that over three-fourths of our
taxation for the suppression of crime is
caused by Intoxicating drinks. So heavy
is this taxation that county attorneys
and grand iuries are compelled to throw
guilty to go free, giving anarchy a
partial license, in order to relieve the
innocent of so great a burden. Now,
whereas, liquor and liquor lovers are
the main cause of this anarchy they,
effects of it. When "booze" is arraigned
against innocence bring it into court.
But when "booze" is arraigned against
''booze" tell it to go to anarchy where
it is SO fond for its redress. For in
stance: jamie OLafferty takes a key of
beer to public gathering and, as is
usual, big row is generated and Jamie
gets his skull cracked with beer bot
tie. He as usual goes into court asking
as an American citizen, the right of
vindication by Furnishing the perpe-
traitor. The county attorney should re-
ply: I'VE must first look to the pro.
lection of our loyal citizens, those who
take decent Lrecaution to protect them
selves. Our great state has labored in
cessantly during the past half century
to maintain government of which you
are traitor. Now to tax the people tc
enable you to avoid reaping your owr
! sowing would be simply robbery
Let anarchy have taste of anarchy
I Let our statute books virtually print il
letters of blood above the door of eact
saloon: Danger, Beware! He who en-
tiers here enters at his own risk This
institution exists because of it's defiance
of governmental law. 1t is one of the
spots on Uncle Sans domain where
anarchy reigns supreme. To enter here
is to patronize anarchy. To patronize
anarchy is to denounce allegiance to oul
government. You may expect no re
dress or punishment for crimes com
mitted in saloon The saloon being
an outlaw let it have the treatment O
an outlaw. A. A. SNOW.

1t is quite likely that the price of
cotton thread will go up an additional
cent per spool before many days, making
the price cents, says dispatch from
Chicago. One of the large manufactur-
ers' agents received a message yester-
day apprising him of the fact that
thread would soon increase three cents
per dozen to the wholesale trade. The
list price is sixty-seven cents and the
increase will put it up to seventy cents.
Owing to the discounts that the retail
dealers receive, they are able to sell all
thread at sixty-two cents per dozen
spools, but the price of the individual
spool sells from six cents up. The con-
sumer gets no discount on anything less
than dozen. All cotton goods are 60
ing up and the end is not yet. IF this
keeps on" said cotton buyer for one of
the largest department stores in the
city, "silk will be staple and cotton the

MAY BE LAST REUNION OF MEXI.

Norfolk, Va, August % What is be.
lieved to be the last of the national re-
unions that will be held by veterans of
the Mexican war took place today at
the Jamestown exposition. OF the 49,
600 men who comprised the army that
was sent to Mexico sixty years ago
about 5000 are still living. The aver
age age of the survivors is sc years and
on this account only a handful of the
veterans were able to attend the an
nual reunion this year. The meeting
was held in convention hall with Louis
F. Becler, of Baltimore, president of the
National Association of Mexican War
Veterans, presiding. The association
had no business to transact, and the
gathering was entirely in the nature of
a reunion. The aged veterans were the
recipients of numerous courtesies from
the exposition management and ex-
hibitors.

Hicks Myers, living about thirteen
miles northeast of Trenton, lost eleven
head of fat steers Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Myers had changed the steers from
a shady pasture to another about an
eight of a mile away, in which there
were no trees. His boy discovered one
dead about noon and Mr.. Myers, on
arrival at the pasture, found the whole
herd closely punched, trying to get
shelter from the burning sun in the
shade thrown by their own bodies.
He cut out all the yearlings and drove
them to another part of the field, but
too late to get the herd to shelter be-
fore II had fallen dead. The steers
were worth about $65 apiece and, as
they were not insured were total loss.

brother of George T. Young a pioneer
business man of Mt. Ayr. MIR. Young
bl ought his father and another brother

was here. That was thirty years ago
W. B. Young is the surviving brother OF
the family and was anxious to know
whether the graves of his father and
brother were we'll kept and that
was the purpose of his visit. He asked
of Hardin Middlesworth to be directed
to man that lived in Mt. Ayr thirty
years ago. Major D. B. Marshall was
coming out of G.. H. Rains store as
the question was asked and was pointed
out. Mr.. Young went to him and
learned that he had acted as
pail bearer at the funeral of his
father and brother thirty years be-
fore. Mr.. Young was directed to the
cemetery and was most greatfully sur
prised at the condition in which he
found the graves. He called upon Mrs,
Nj. b. Merrill and expressed his appre-
citation of the work the cemetery as
ISOLATION was doing and gave her sub
stantial evidence Of his appreciation in
the shape of contribution to the
treasury of the association. He also
requested that the half of a lot not oc-
cupied by his family be again sold and
the money turned into the treasury
Mr.. Young stated to the Press reporter
that he had found old friends of his
brother in Mt. Ayr, and found that the
town had made wonderful progress iI
the thirty years since his visit to Mt
Ayr. He left this forenoon for his home
in Harrison county.-Mt. Ayr Press.

Fashion and the Eootliahts.

1t is an open secret that the leading
modistes rely very largely upon the
stage for the popularizing of the CON-
ing modes. Though style may be
said to be created by the modistes and
the hallmark of approval given to it by
royalty and the court, it is through the
instrumentality Of the leading actresses
that it becomes the fashion Of the sea-
son. The stage is an excellent back
ground for showing off beautiful
gowns, and when the wearers are
beautiful women it adds an extra
charm to the dresses.-Strand Maya

Restitution to
Policy Holders

New York, Mch. 8.-George
W. Perkins, former first vice pres
ident Of the New York Life Insur-
.ance company and now a member
.of j. p Morgan g. Co., has sent
to the New York Life Insurance
Company his personal check for
S54, ,019.10 to reimburse the COM
pany for the Republican cam
paign contribution made from its
funds in 1904, in connection with
which Mr.. Perkins recently was
make defendant on a charge of
larceny.
Announcement of the restitu-
ton of the principal of S4S,500
and interest to date was made to-
day by President Alexander L
Orr of the New York Life In
surance Company, to whom Mr.
Perkins yesterday, before leav-
ing on a trip to the South, ad-
dressed a letter inclosing the
check. President Orr also gave
out the letter. In it Mr.. Perkins
declares that in dismissing the
criminal proceedings against
him the court intimaIed that the
campaign contribution was not Of
proper corporate purpose. He
again asserts that he was acting
upon a request of the then presi-
dent Of the New York Life when
he advanced the money for the
campaign contribution in 1904
and says that when the then
president of the company reim-
bursed him there was no thought
on the part of either of any per-
sonal advantage, but a belief that
they were ACTING "for the best
and broadest interests of the
policy holders both at home and
abroad"
The letter follows:
SIN 1904, at the request of the
then president of the company,
l advanced Sl8, 800 as payment
on behalf of the New York Life
Insurance company to the Re-
publican national campaign fund.
| did this with the understanding
with the then president that |
should be reimbursed, The
payment was made without any
thought on the part of the presi-
dent or myself of personal ad'
vantages, but solely in the belief
that it was for the best and
broadcast interests of the policy
holders, both at home and
abroad.
In dismissing the criminal pro-
ceedings instituted against me
for accepting reimbursement, the
courts have intimated that the
payment and therefore the reim-
bursement was not proper corpor.
ate purpose. l therefore return
the company the amount of
money paid by it to me, enclosing
herewith my check for S54, ,019. 10
to cover principal add interest. "
