Enoch Nelson has sold his fine
farm for the round sum of $1O,-
900. Mr.. Edwards of near Brow
nell is the purchaser. Mr.. Ed
wards has quite a body of land
where he lives. We have not
learned whether he intends NOV
ing on the land or selling it again.
AS to where Mr.. Nelson intends
moving we cannot say, but we
can say, however, that wherever
he goes that community will gain
a good citizen and neighbor while
we lose one.
We learn through our good
friend Col. J. V. L. x. Y. z. Ir-
win that the railroad surveyors

ting the grade stakes. During
this trip over the line they are
getting the exact location of the
roadbed and are setting the
curves. The colonel further
AYERS that when they set the
grade stakes they will buy, beg
or condemn the right of way.
The road is a sure go and the
colonel says that if the road is
built during the next three
weeks he will let some of his
land for less than hundred dol
lars an acre as an inducement to
eastern buyers and help his
neighbors out who have surplus
land to sell. We should like to
see such a generous spirit mani
tested by others.

VIM. Stimit's Buys His Sons Store.

Word spread over the country
this week that FL. f. Stimits, the
well known business man and
owner of the opera house block
at Grainfield, has disposed of his
big hardware stock in that city
to his father, a wealthy Trego
county farmer, and that Mr.. Sti-
mitS would move the remainder
of his stock to Longmont, a
thriving Colorado town located in
the beet fields of the northern
section of that state, and that he
would move with his family there
abandoning Grainfeld, the
change to take place practically
at once. We called Mr.. Stimits
up by phone Thursday and asked
him about it. He reported that
a deal was on between he and his
father in which the old gentle
man contemplated the purchase
of that part of the stock that rep
resented the hardware, furni-
ture, etc., and that his moving
hinged on the closing up of this
transaction. If his father pur-
chased then the move would take
place, otherwise, nothing csrtain.
But, deal or no deal, the hard
ware store would be continued at
Grainfield as before, the father
as the proprietor.
The Great Western store as
operated under III. +. Stimits is
the largest store that our county
has ever had and it's dissolution
would be a serious blow to Grain
field as well as the whole country
and we hope Mr.. Stimits may
yet conclude to remain with US.
Record.
The deal is closed and Trego
county will lose Uncle Billy Sti-
mits, one of the pioneer settlers
of Collyer township.

Death of Mrs. O'Connor.

It was with sincere regret we
learn of the departure on the 28th
ult. of Commissioner Walsh to
attend his sisters funeral, Mrs.
O'Connor, in Chicago. How hard
it is for US to realize that of that
happy genial family of seven
children only three rem aims
James, the elder, John, the
youngest, and Mrs. Thomas
Pratt of Hoxie. Mrs. O'Connor
possessed many lovable traits.
She spent much time here and
gained a host of friends by her
kindly gentle disposition.
How the six sons and daugh-
ter will miss her loving guidance
and watchful care which she so
untireingly gave them.
In making these statements
which are true can t help think
ing how infinitely much
more she left behind to brighten
and bless the world than accum-
mutation of great wealth could
have done. Such character as
hers that was ever ready to aid
and brighten the lives of all
around her, help to make life
bearable.
May the Father she loved com
fort and bless the loved ones left
behind. How true these lines
from Young:
why all this toll for triumphs
of an hour
What though we waid in wealth,
or soar in fame
Earth's highest station ends in.

the disturbed condition Of affairs in Guate-

ambassador has received from the City OF

The Mexican account is that indscriminate

but persons of other nationalities, and that
these prisoners are being harshly treated.
1t Is understood that protests already
have been made by the diplomatic represen-

that an attempt will be made to secure
joint action by Mexico and the United
states to prevent a continuance of this
policy of ind.scviminate arrests

KUROKI Is HOPEFUL,

Baron Kuroki, who arrived here Thurs
day, In discussing the japanese school
question.
The japanese general was not inclined to
discuss the action OF the San Francisco
school board directors. He was evidently
greatly interested in the Japanese school
children in the United States, for he asked
many questions about them, how many
there are in Seattle and how they stood In
their classes, and expressed gratiicatio
to find that they are well liked.
He was told of the instance of a Japanese
boy being arrested for disturbing the peace
when he was practicing an Grafton. That
boy had the right stuff in him." was his
answer.
We are glad to think that you up here
In Seattle think the children Ne send over
are good and Woodworking added Gen
Kuroki. You are unlike some others This
attitude means that many Japanese chill
dren in the future will come to the United
States by way of Seattle. When you tell
us that they stand well in their classes
and conduct ii makes proud of them
When you praise them you praise us, for
they are our children.

bya the United States. l do not believe
that the feeling against them Is wide
spread. l think that feeling is dying out"

VICTOR E. NELSON HERE.
Charge Of Financial Irregularitie!
Without Foundation.

Mr.. Victor e. Nelson, who was United
States consul at Bergen, Norway and
resigned in 1908, is in this city. Mr.
Nelson, it appears, was enormously
charged with some financial irregulari-
ties in connection with the distribution
of the fund for the benefit of the rela-
tives of the men who lost their lives in
the Maine disaster. The charges were
published at the time in The Star the
facts being furnished by what was sup
posed at the time to be reliable source
1t has since been learned that Mr.. Nelson
never handled any funds belonging to
the relatives of those who lost their
lives by reason of the explosion of the
Maine, and that he resigned his con-
sulate at Bergen of his own volition.
Inquiry at the State Department shows
Mr.. Nelson to have rendered valuable
service as consular officer and that
long prior to his resignation he had in
formed the department that unless trans
ferred to a better post he would leave
the service.

Millions for Kiel Canal.

BERLIN. May 4.-The Reichstag has

bill, which provides for $3,75O,OOO as

see originally that larger dimensions would
become necessary. Herr Leonhart, radical
pointed out that the canal had too many
curves in too short a radius
1t was further insisted that the additional
expenditure Of SO. $50. 900, although the
canal only cost $40, oO0,0G9 originally, must
be regarded as a heavy sacrifice on the
part of the country, considering the fact
that the present canal had not yet reached
the stage of being able to pay the interest
