Now THE STORM BEGINS TO LOWER.

Now THE STORM BEGINS TO LOWER.
1T will require something more than
Gen. Kukori's assurance that the lit
tie Japs are not on the eve of revolt
against the Mikado unless their con-
ceit since the unexpected victory
over Russia is afforded an oppor-
tunity for still further development
over what they seem to think a
foeman worthy of their steel, war
with leading nation of the globe,
the United States. In their inordin-
ate vanity, they seem to think that
conflict with a power that wiped out
the Spanish navy at Manila and San
tiago is by no means a too formidable
an opponent for their fire. The re-
port is that large sum of money has
been raised by the Japs in this coun-
try to overthrow the Nippon dynasty,
and for abrogation of the exclusion
law and guaranty of naturalization
rights of Japanese residents in this
country. The object of the fund was
to arouse antagonism in that country
against the American government
and compel recognition of their de-
mands. The Washington govern
ment has entered what the cautious
lawyers sometimes resort to as a
means of recovering breath, a gener-
al denial of the truth of the charges,
basing belief upon Kuroki's assur-
ance of deep-seated, undying friend
ship of his people for this nation; but
aside from all diplomatic bubbles,
the plain facts bear out the belief
that the war-feeling in Japan is so
intense as to even threaten the over
throw of the government should it's
demands not receive official sanction.

A WELL THAT SUPPLIES FRESH OR
SALT WATER.-They have q well in
Washington county, Ohio, that yields
both salt and fresh water from the
same penstock. Except for the fact
that the two pumps are set side by
side, it resembles ordinary wells; but
one of the pumps supplies water
excellent to the taste while the
water from the other is so highly
charged with various mineral salts
that it is almost brine. The secret
of the matter is that two water
bearing beds are confined between
layers of limestone, the upper carry
ing fresh water and the lower salt.
The pipe of the fresh water pump is
only sixteen feet long and that of the
salt water thirty-five feet. The brine
being heavier than the fresh water
does not mix with it, but remains at
the bottom of the well, and the
larger pipe consequently draws only
salt water. So you pump from the
top or surface for fresh water, and
from the bottom to get salt water.

C0RONERs ARE SOLE JUDGES OF Ne
CEssITY OF INoUEsT-Lawyers occa-
sionally condemn the legislative
power" said to be exercised by
judges in constituting the statutes,
but they seldom, if ever, apply such
caustic criticism to the opinions
handed down" by State Attorneys
and their able assistants. But it
may be noted that there is now
scarcely a week passes but that an
official bulletin is issued from the
State Prosecuting Attorneys Office,
defining the law, or explaining what
the lawmakers should have intended
by verbiage that, if not obscure at
first glance, is made so by following
the sinuosities of legal construction.
A late, if not the latest, occasion for
Assistant Attorney Falknor to rise
and explain" is to verify the fact
that the Coroner is to decide whether
an inquest is necessary to ascertain
the probable cause of death of any
deceased person. The duties being
purely ministerial in nature, it would
seem to follow that about the only
act that officer has to do is to pass
upon the necessity for an investiga-
ton of causes that are not so plain as
to leave no cause for reasonable
doubt. 1t is plainly the duty of the
Prosecuting Attorney and the Health
Officer, as well as the public gener-
ally, to call attention to any suspi-
cious circumstances by them known,
but it is equally reasonable to hold
that the Coroner is the final Judge of
the necessity for an inquest.

OEATTLE NOW Z hOfOSES ~ INVADE
THE BARRIERS CHAIR.-Another Sc
attic idea" has been evolved, and the
wonder is that such an acute people
should not have struck upon it long
ago. That is, to make BARRIERS the
means Of spreading Seattle propa-
gandism. If reports be true, moth
ing nearer q talking machine has
been discovered than the loquacious
barber; then he has his victim by the
nose and o razor at his throat. But
joking aside, Seattle is seriously
considering the proposition of offer
ing o bride of a free ride on Seeing
Seattle" cars whenever they visit the
hub of Washington, in consideration
OF DINING Seattle sentiment into the
ears of customers and distributing
booklets advertising that city to
them. 1t looks, however, as if the
reward is wholly inadequate, for a
trip to the hub is necessary to save a
five-cent fare, and the visitor as
sumes the risk of running up against
all sorts of pitfalls during his stay.
This project was seriously discussed
by the Seattle Commercial Club,
however, which figured upon 2,00O
proprietors of shops in this State
and contiguous territory, and that
each shop employs three BARRIERS,
which gives quite an ample field Of
exploitation, under the economic
plan of procedure suggested.

NorOLY.-It appears from the Ore
gonian's veracious correspondent at
the national capital that our State is
engaged in the vicious endeavor of
invading Portland's territory, and
by means Of q joint-rate from the
Sound via Portland, to literally Grip
pie the lumber business OF Oregon.
He claims that the effect will be to
enable our mills to ship their entire
product, by compelling the o. r. and
N. to divert such Of its cars to Puget
Sound as may be required to handle
the surplus lumber product that can
not be carried by the two Northern
roads, leaving Portland to ship only
such Of its lumber as cannot be car
ried by the cars required in the Pu-
get Sound trade. This seems to be q
reversal of the conditions decade or
so ago, when our then Territory had
to accept such crumbs as might
be gathered under Oregen's festive
board. 1t is still in memory when
Washington fir was classified abroad
as Oregon pine," and Puyallup
hops were used to swell the aggregate
of our neighbor's home products.
No complaint was then made, for it
was conceded to be the privilege Of the
dog to waggle his tail, but now that
conditions are reversed, it really
seems that our neighbor should hear
the result with exemplary fortitude.

The Liquor-Trade on Sundays.

Inc O'yohtun handles the PROPOSE
ton for closed-city in the Oregon
metropolis with the gloved- Inland of
diplomacy. 1t was scarcely expected
that it would give much considera-
ton to the subject from Scriptural
point of view, for its influence has
never been very positively exerted in
that line of endeavor. 1t looks upon
the subject purely as a matter of ex-
pediency, and complains that Port
land has Jagged behind most other
cities. in this respect" and predicts
that from this time on, another
course will be pursued
1t seems to us that the best argu-
ment in favor of a Christian Sabbath
is abandoned by that paper when it
ignores the divine command to Re
member the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy" Respect for the opinion of
others, and especially so large pro-
portion of humanity rs body whose
creed has given tone and strength
to the civilization of the world, should
be an important factor in considera-
ton of matter of such great impor-
tance.
The late action in Portland is based
upon exacting a compliance with the
State law, which has been suspended
by local custom that nullifies the en-
actment under color of charter provi-
sion that delegates to the City Coun-
Gil complete control of saloons within
the municipality. All the Portland
saloon people ask is that the courts
decide whether the State law or local
custom shall prevail. How they can
make the granting of a license to sell
liquors during the week nullify an
enactment that applies to all other
business, is their own concern, and
seems to be a very weak peg to hang
a hope upon.
The Oregonidn holds that retalia-
tory measures will not avail, for the
people regard the liquor trade as in
a class by itself, liable to grave
abuses, and therefore to be kept I'M
der regulations not required in other
pursuits. An appeal to the people,
therefore, will involve consideration
of all the points that may admit OF
proper discrimination in o pursuit
even though it be unobjectionable on
other points except the command
given at Mount Sinai. It further
says, ut will be found that the peo-
pie want and will have the liquor
trade closed on Sundays
How different this is from what
that journal would have presented as
its opinion a year or two ago! And
it shows that those assumed mould
ers of public opinion often make bet
ter progress in the eddies of sugges-
ton than by stemming the current of
popular sentiment.

COME HOME, BILL!

When the anti pass bill finally
was presented to the house last
Wednesday there were only 21 out
OF I27 members who had the gall
to vote in favor of retaining the
pass. Barber county's representa-
tive, William Gesner, voted against
the anti-pass bill and in so doing
clearly misrepresented at least
three-fourths of his constituents.
During the campaign, Mr.. Gesner
did not have the courage to take
definite position on the pass propo-
sition. At one time he declared
that he was opposed to depriving
stock shippers Of a pass when TAX
ing stock to market and returning
therefrom. The anti-pass bill
against which Mr.. Gesner voted,
provides that stockshippers shall
be passed to and from their points
of destination when shipping stock
to the amount of one or more cars.
1t also provides free transportation
to railroad employees and their
families, and physicians when en-
gagged in caring for persons injured
on railroads. No good reason can
be advanced why this measure
should not become law and it is
matter of regret to us personally
to be compelled to publish the fact
that Barber county's representative
voted against it. If Representa-
tive Gesner makes a few more such
blunders like that it will require a
great deal of effort for him and
I those who stand sponsor for him,
to quiet the indignation that it
will inevitably arouse in their own
political camp, saying nothing of
the disfayor by which it will be re-
ceived in other political organiza-
tiOnS.

IN THE BOxDS OF KEDLOCK.

The marriage of Mr.. Marvin NJ.
Williams and Miss Mary Farley
at the M. Z. church in this city
Wednesday evening, February 6,
1907, was very largely attended
and impressed the vast congrega-
tion as most beautiful ceremony.
At the appointed hour the bridal
party entered the church marching
to the strains of Lohengrin, Mrs. D.
w. Major presiding at the organ.
At the altar they were met by Rev.
w. H. Moore who impressively
spoke the words which united the
lives of these popular young people.
The bride was most beautifully
attired in a blue wedding gown
and the groom wore the customary
black.
The happy couple departed on
Thursday for Wichita and other
points and are expected home to-
day or tomorrow. They will be at
home for the present at the resi- :
dence of the groom's parents on
Second avenue east until their
plans for the future are matured.
This couple come from two of
Barber county's best families. The
groom is the third son of L. T.
Williams and wife of this city.
He has grown to manhood in this
city and possesses that dominant
energy and self reliance that 60 to
the achievement of success in life's
battles. The bride is the charming
daughter of J. B. Farley and wife
who reside nine miles north of this
city. Among the young people OF
the city and surrounding COM
munity she is an especial favorite.
Her pleasant disposition, her grace
full and cordial nature have won for
her place in the esteem of all in
whose society she has mingled and
words of praise greet her on every
hand.
1t is our sincere hope that the
future life of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
may ever be as successful as the
day of their happy wedding was
auspicious.

AT REST.

Asenath Warnstaf, beloved
wife of Noah Warnstaff, died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Gideon Miller, near Lake City
early Monday morning, Feb. 4,1oo7,
at the age of 78 years, 3 months
and 28 days. Those of her family
who are left to mourn her loss are
Mrs. Gideon Miller of near Lake
City, Mrs. Ben English of Medicine
Lodge, Mrs. Davis of Arizona, ia
cob Warnstaff of near Lake City,
Henry Warnstaff of Harper, Kans.,
and an aged husband. They have
the heartfelt sympathy of their
many friends in this, their hour of
greif.
Funeral services were held at
the Methodist church at Lake City,
conducted by Rev. Gilmore of that
place and Rev. Moore of Medicine
Lodge.
What patient, loving life was
hers. Afflicted as she had been for
20 years not having been able to
walk for that length of time, yet
she was never known to complain
of her lot. To know her was to
love her, her neighbors and friends
deemed it sweet privilege to do
her kindness. A precious testi-
mony of her life was the much US
ed pages of her family bible which
was her daily companion and from
which she received her comfort.
Gathered around her in her last
days were all of her children, her
husband, a niece and her grand
children. All that could be done
by the loving devoted hands of her
loved ones was done.
Our prayer to God is to help us
to live such a life as Grandma
Warnstaff, so when we shall come
to that deep silent river of death
we shall be ready to cross over and
join her in that celestial home
where there is no more parting, no
more sorrow or suffering, but where
there is everlasting JOY and peace
and rest.
A FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR.

KANSAS DEMOCRATIC BANQUET.

The Democrats of Kansas will
hold their Third Annual Banquet
at the Throop hotel, Topeka, Fri
day, February 22nd. The purpose
of this annual event is to bring the
democrats of the state together, to
become better acquainted with one
another and to exchange ideas and
suggestions relative to plans for
future campaigns. The banquet
idea was inaugurated three years
ago and it has met with such sue
cess that the party has adopted it
as an annual affair.
Tickets are two dollars and
democrats who desire to attend
should send orders for tickets to R.
w. Blair, Secretary, Topeka, Kan
sas, not later than Feb. 5th, so the
committee will know how many
to provide for.
Reduced rates have been made
by all the railroads. Barber coun-
ty is represented on the program
by Seward |. Field of this city.
His theme will be GA Trust Sug-
gestion.'
The Democratic Editorial Asso-
citation of the state will meet at
the same time and place but since
the pass is no more it is feared that
the attendance will not be very
great,as democratic editors have
never been familiar with the pub
lie teat and in this western coun-
try, especially, it is hard to keep up
the expenses of publishing a demo.
cratic newspaper without any side
issues from which to draw.
However, we look for the Kan
sas Democracy to have a jolly good
time on the 22nd and it is assured
in advance that the meeting will
also be profitable to the party or.
ganization.

TIE NEW RED RASPBERRY.

7. A. McNeal, in the Farmers
Mail and Breeze, pays the follow
ing compliment to our fellow
townsman, Jno. L. Brady, who has
discovered the famous new red
raspberry:
"The man who makes two blades
of grass grow where only one grew
before is a public benefactor. If
that is so the man who makes big
red raspberry grow where none grew
before is entitled to a place in the
hall of fame. For a good many
years we have known Colonel Jno.
L. Brady of Medicine Lodge. The
colonel is a scholar, a botanist and
a scientific horticulturist. Some
time ago, in the spring of 1902 to
be exact, he received from the
Green Nursery Co. of Rochester,
n. Y, small lot of Louder"
raspberry plants which he planted
and carefully cultivated. 1t SEEM
ed at first that luck was against
the colonel, as during the first win,
ter all of the plants died except
one. That one, however, was a
wonder.> 1t was evident to the
practiced eye of Colonel Brady
that he had parent of a new va
riety and he carefully cultivated
the lone plant. His success has
been phenomenal. During the sea-
son of 1906 he gathered the crop
from about I-25 of an acre and
from that small patch gathered
and sold 400 pints of berries in ad-
dition to the berries used by his
own family. He sold these berries
readily for 5 cents per pint. This
was at the rate of $500 per acre.
The berries are pronounced by ev-
erybody who has seen and tasted
them as the finest ever. Some of
these berries grow to the almost
incredible size of an inch in diam
eter and Of equal depth. The COL
cnel has named his berry the Bra
dy Red Raspberry 1t bids fair to
become the most famous raspberry
in the United States. Now the
question arises, is not a man who

NEW SERVICE PENSIONS.

The new service pension bill was
signed by President Roosevelt
Thursday and is now a law. 1t
provides that veterans having
reached the age of 62 years shall
receive $I2 per month; 70 years
$I6, and IS years $40. The pur-
pose of the new law is to discour-
age private pension bills which now
occupy so much of the time of each
session of congress and the pre-
sumption is that from now on it
will be difficult to secure private
pensions except in cases of sickness
wherein the patient is helpless.
