menced the practise of his pro
fession at Lexington, MISSOURI,
in 1879. On February 10, 1879
he was united in marriage to
Miss Georgia Littleiohn, who is
left to mourn the loss Of a kind,
atfectionate aud indulgent hus-
band.
AT the time of his death he was
one of the leading and most sue
cessful attorneys in the State;
his greatest success being in
the practice of criminal law. He
held many positions of honor and
trust. He was elected City Re
corder Of the city Of Lexington
in 1882, to which office he was
again elected in 1884 and in 1886.
He was elected Mayor of the
city of Lexington in 1888; and
discharged the duties of the
offices to which he was elected to
the entire satisfaction of the pub
lie. He was appointed by
Gov ernor Stephens as a member
of the Board Of Regents Of the
State Normal School at Warrens-
burg, and served inthat capacity
until November, 1904, at which
time he was elected as a member
of Congress from the seventh
MISSOURI District, which is
normally Democratic, and in
1906, was again nominated by
the Republican party, of which
he was throughout life an active
and jealous member, but was
defeated by Hon. G. w. Hamlin,
the present incumbent.
John Welborn was a lawyer of
ability, a splendid citizen, a good
neighbor, and, above all, a tend

was devoid Of selfishness, and
the highest measure of his
ambition seemed gratifed in the
performance Of duty and acts Of
friendship. With his gentleness
and nobility of character it is but
natural that he should win and
retain a host of admiring
friends.
There was no more popular
man in the community than John
Welborn; generous to a fault,
and CHEEKY in disposition,
he was Il man who knew the
world and enjoyed it, one who
was ready to extend a helping

BAR RESOLUTIONS on DEATH OF
JOHN wELBORN.

JOHN WELB0RN
The Lafayette County Bar
withprofound sorrow again bows
before the messenger Of death
realizing that there is no age, nor
hour, nor circumstance into
which he will not intrude. Lies
chamber cannot be barred
against him nor his dark pres
ence avoided. The dark truth
it is appointed unto man once to
die is written upon every page
and into every paragraph of
natures great volume and re-
peated over and over by a merci-
full Creator in the great Book of
Life. memorable and intrusive,
Death enters and there is no defense;
His time there's none can tell,
He'll in a moment call thee hence
To Heaven 0 r down to hell"
But the shadow of death can be
turned into the morning and at
eyen-tide it shall be light.
Just in the last distressing hour
The Lord displays deliver ng power:
The mount of danger is the place
Where we shall see surprising
grace
C.1- -
Surely UOd iias lea us, out It
was by "A way which we knew
not
The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night,
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight"
We pause to tender to the
widow and kindred our unfeigned
sympathy and sorrow; to join in
fitting tributes to the memory of,
and to reflect upon the public
and private virtues of, our de-
parted brother.
While mourning his death as
an irreparable loss to his family,
TO the community and toour pro-
fession, we realize that his use
full life is ended, and that the
struggles and priyations that
neryed his arms and strengthen
ed his heart for future triumphs
have ceased.
Death has stricken his name
from our roll and the world
moves on in its accustomed
ways, even as the sea rolls on in
restless mood DER noble craft
beneath it's waves. But hard
by the rolling waves are those
who miss and mourn and weep
for the unreturning sail.
To him the mystery of death
has been disclosed, and we, with
Christian faith, perceive i'm
mortality beyond that myster-
ious line.
Gently we recall the story of
his eventful life, full Of labor,
buoyed by hope, fired by ambi-
call to higher ideals and
sterner duties, crowned by the
approval of the community in
which his last and most active
years had been passed in his
to the House of Repre-
.sentatives as the chosen repre-
sentative OF their interests and
aspirations for the promo
ton Of good government and
civil liberty.

ute to his memory.
AS a citizen, husband and
friend he was honored and be-
loved by those with whom he
associated. AS an advocate he
was earnest, aggressive and
jealous, but courteous, consider
ate and respectful to his brother
lawyers.
Strong in local attachments,
he never forgot his native city
and his ancestral home. The
even tenor of his professional
life portrays the story of his
brilliant and eyentful career.
The simplicity and frankness of
the boy distinguished the law
yer, dealing with results rather
than processes, who, amidst the
surges of faction and passion,
the heat of ambition and thirst
for power and success, permitted
modification or Change in his
early, open-hearted, generous
nature to reach him not. Though
a busy actor his life was not
without peculiar charm. Early
in life his characteristic traits
displayed themselves in his
simple, quiet bearing, his frank
ness and candor, his marvellous
grasp of human nature, his
power Of clear, concise state
ment and logical reasoning.
Rising rapidly in his profession,
he excited no envy among his
associates, whose kindly greet
ings, freely extended, we're no
less the promptings of friend
ship in their hearts than of
causes within himself. AS a
lawyer he threw himself heart
and soul into forensic and legal
contests, a determined advocate
in his clients cause, and by his
fearlessness, determination and
rugged frankness excited
admiration even in the hearts Of
his adversaries, contenting him
self with results, feeling that he
had spent the full force Of his
professional strength.
When the final call came he
was on the firing line, at the
height of his professional re-
putation, engaged in many Of
the important cases of our
local courts. He had earned the
right to that honor which
dignified labor, legal merit,
fidelity to clienta and professional
engagements could afford.
His singleness and simplicity
of character, his love for the
young and respect for the old,
his courteous bearing, his read
mess to forgive offense, his care
full attention and considerate and
tender love for her whom he
cherished in sickness and in.
health, loved and cherished the
more tenderly as her sainted
spirit became involved and
encircled by the sufferings of.
life, have become traditions from
which we, in our memories of
him, Intervene that which we
most look up to and admire with
that we take most nearly to
heart.
The evening Of life cast no.
shadow before him, the labor and
sorrow of age had no opportunity
to strike or to pass him by, but.
in the prime Of his manhood, in
the noon tide glory of his pro-
fessional career, in the height Of
earthly success and the arms of
ambition yet unsatisfed, his
great, simple heart ceased to
throb and the life of our lament

sank beneath the shadow Of
death in that course through its
valley to the other shore. For

Synopsis Of Game Law.

An inquirer has asked this paper to
give short synopsis Of the Kansas game
laws. II you are armed with the proper
permit from the landowner where you
propose to hunt. and have secured the
required license Of the County CLERK. you
may lawfully hunt prairie chickens in the
month between September 18th and
October 18th. Doves and plover are
out of season after September 18th IN
each year. You are only allowed to
hunt and kill quail between November
18th and December 5th. in each year.
You can hunt wild geese. brant and
duck between September | s. and April
18th. And you may take crack at a
jackrabbit or cottontai any tune you
get an opportunity to do so. Remember
it is costly proposition to accidentally
kill farmers Stock. for as general rule
the stock thus accidentally killed is one
Of his prize winners. the same as is the
rule when they are killed by the cars,
and are therefore quite valuable.

Two-Cent Fare A Reality.

The railroads Of Kansas, at a meeting
last week, came off Of their high perch.
and notified the state board Of railroad
commissioners that they had concluded
to obey the order to install 2-cent fare
rate October 5th, but they filed a pro-
test and gave notice that they will test
the constituionality Of the law in the
courts and i their contention be sustain
ed they will reinstate the 3-cent rate.
They also gave notice that all excursion
rates will be Withdrawn from this ime
forward and as long as the 2-cent rate i.
an force; clergymen's half rates will cease
and the companys threaten to make all
sorts Of WY faces.
Whatever their feelings IN the matte,
may be. the people Of Kansas will be
able to travel at the rate Of two cents a
mile, beginning on Saturday Of this week.
the same as they do in neishboring States
We anticipate that for time they will
make things as disagreeable for the pub
lie as they can but if the officers Of the
law are as alert as they should be, the
railroads will soon adapt themselves to
the new conditions and in the end vii
be glad Of the change.
Now let the reform extend to decent
freight rates and better railroad service
IN general and Kansas will again be or
an equality with other states.
