Not FOreseen in That Time.
General Zebulon Pixies exploration,
bf 1s06-1SO7 had political consequence
which neither Pike nor anybody els,
In his day could foresee, says the Re
view Of Reviews. Although he wal
well treated by the Spaniards, his cap
ture by them Intensified the desire OF
americans, especially in the west, to
drive Spain out of Mexico. Written
In 1908 and published in 1910, his re.
port pointed out the wealth of Mexi.
cos natural resources, showed the
weakness Of Spain's hold on thar coun-
try, and urged her expulsion by an
American army IL Bonaparte should
seize the Spanish throne, which Bona
parte did while Pike was writing, and
held it for six years.
Pixies report sent Magee, Kemper,
Long, and other adventures from our
side of the line over into Texas and
other parts of Mexico More import
ant still, it melted Moses Austin to get
from Ferdinand wills representatives
In 1920 permission to establish a colo
ny of Americans in Texas, which his
son, Stephen F. Austin, planted there

toms victory over Santa Anna at San

the United States inherited Texas

this led 70 the war of 1846-1848, which,
through conquest and purchase, placed
the stars and stripes over the present
New Mexico, Arizona Except that
part below the ella, which Gadsdsn
bought in 1859 - California, Nevada

southwest onward to the Pacific. While

The ways of the newly rich continue
TO afford amusement, both to those not

John Lane, IN a recent essay, which is
an addition to the general fund of such
humor.
A certain magnate was giving din

frawing-room the hostess, tinkling and
differing with diamonds, leaned back
In a great tufted chair and shivered

her maid.

Theaters Closed Sundays.

Judge Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak,
Iowa, in the United States circuit
court, has handed down a decision dis
solving the injunction recently granted
to local theatrical managers prohibit
ing county officials from closing the
theaters on Sundays. Judge McPher-
son asserts that he has not jurisdic-

one, in that it practically seals the

New York, in the opinion of James

climax of her supremacy. In an inter-

reason being that this city can not
nope to maintain its commercial con-
troll when it's chief claim is, as he
stated it, that it is the dearest place
in which to do business.

against the officers of the company foi
an Injunction to restrain them from

Of the law. Those who are familiar
with this proposed legal action attach
great importance to IL, as II the in

Lucille Knapp Is Dead.

Only residents of Webster know the
the above words as they passed from
one to another Tuesday evening A
beautiful, bright child just poisoning
from babyhood into girlhood, happy in
disposition. bright i'll conversation,
raised in the hotel where she was met
and petted and loved by everybody.
Many could not believe. How could it
be SO? Many had seen her that day in
apparent health. Comparatively few
knew of her illness Of Sunday. Yet,
sad, terribly sad and horribly true, this
beautiful child, this single blossom in
the happy home of Mr.. and Mrs Atlas
Knapp had been plucked by Death.
She had gone to be with Him Who
said: "Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not for Of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven" How
firmly are we impressed today that
time is a sort of a river of passing
events, strong is its current; no sooner
is a child brought to sight, learned to be
loved and adored han it is swept away,
a home left desolate, many hearts
broken and grief made for all the com.
munity.
Lucille Knapp was born February IA,
1901, in the City of Webster, the only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Atlas Knapp.
She was taken ill Sunday with uremic
poisoning. Monday was much better.
A relapse came Tuesday which resulted
in death about five-thirty o'clock. The
funeral services were held this after
noon, Rev. Mitchell officiating. The
floral tributes from the orders of which
Mr.. and Mrs. Knapp are members
were many and beautiful. The remains
will be taken to Aberdeen on the morn
ing passenger and interment made in
the Aberdeen cemetery. Six members
of each of the following orders will
accompany the mourners and remains
TO Aberdeen: Firemen, Masons, Work
men and Knights of Pythias.
