LABOR'S NEW YEAR.

a new year has u:iWncd,. Mf.
Workingman. Have you given it
any thought:
sadly, but to the music of holiday
laughter.
It's a good thing that there is
holidays rcvclry as the old ycaI
dicd-it serves TO shut out from
memory all that was wasted, neg
lcctcd and is to be regretted in the
old year. The New Year is the
concern, hence To Nineteen Seven?
y wOrkiugman'S resolutions diff
fer in relation 10 the worliingman's
circumstances. His family knows
best what should be his family
resolutions, and bis family viii tell
him. He himself knows best what
resolutions he should make in his
daily routine. If the resolve is
strong cnough-if he really wants
to better his condition in his daily
life, he will do so. If he is luke
warm on the subject and lacks the
spirit of resolve, advice will do
little more than make him consider
the matter just "A little longer be-
fore diSmiSsing il from his mind.
But there is the matter of duty
to consider. In such discussion by
this paper, it follows that whatever
resolutions for the New Year are to
be discussed, they should concern
the general bettcrmcnt of the work
ingman-of the Union working
man.
1t doesn't make any difference
now whether or not you have done
your duty to yourself in the mat
ter of strengthening your union.
The year is gone and a years op-
portunlty is lost. Others have
done the work and accomplished
results; not perhaps as many re.

if there had been no sluggards dur

have done their work, and done il
well.
You have benefited. Mr.. Work

Verdict.

The case of the state against Van
Horn, charged with the murder of
William Morkinson, on June 19 of this
year, went to the jury at noon today.
after an argument by the attorneys in
the case which consumed two hours
and twenty minutes
In the instructions of the court,
which contained thirty-five paragraphs
and dealt fully with all the phases of
the case, the defense seemed to have
the best end.
The argument was opened by As
sistant County Attorney Atchison, who
was followed by Attorney Humphrey
for the defense. Attorney Lynch
made the closing address for the de-
Tense and the prosecution closed with
a thirty minute talk by County Attor-
ney Schenck.
The defense, in arguing the case.
made a feature Of the past history Of
leila Robbins, the principal witness
for the state. Mrs. Robbins was mixed
up in a murder case in Missouri sew
eral years ago, before her marriage
with Robbins. and this fact was used
to reduce the weight of her evidence.
1t was she who testified to seeing
Irish Van Horn. the accused, and
the man. RABBIT Morkinson, who
was later found dead on Van Horns
hack near the city limits in North To-
peka on the morning of the murder.
At noon Sheriff Wflkerson was in
structed to find dinner for the jury
before giving them into the hands OF
the bailiff.

Secures an Adjournment of Illinois
Central Meeting Until December IS.

Chicago. October 21.-Stuyvesant Fish
early today secured a postponement of
the Illinois Central stockholders meet
ing until December Is. The Hartman
people agreed to the adjournment, al
though they had previously been anx-
ious to push matters as rapidly as pos
sible.
The decision to adjourn the meeting
was the result of a conference held at
8 o'clock this morning between Will
lam Nelson Cromwell for Mr. Harri-
man, and Judge E. H. Farrar for Mr.
Fish.
The overtures came from Mr.. Crom-
well, who sought out the Fish people,
and declared that he wished to come
to some sore of an agreement. He was
informed by Judge Farrar that the
only agreement that could be reached
was TO accept the terms of Mr.. Fish,
which would be the adjournment until
December IS, and a decision of court, if
the Hartman people so decide, to de-
termine the right to vote the 2S6, 71S
shares of stock against which a tenn
porary injunction was issued by Judge
Ball one week ago. After an extended
conference Mr.. Cromwell assented.

great sum but 1t only represents a very
small number of horse owners that

the winning of all owners reaches s5,-

court OF that county TO a writ of pro-
hibftion to stop Prather from reIeas-
ing any more jointists by habeas cor
pus proceedings The jointists al
ready turned lose by Judge Prather
will be rearrested
Before this telegram was received,
a suit had been filed in the Kansas
supreme court to GUST Prather from
office for his actions. but this case
was hastily withdrawn, and the sum-
mons, which had been sent to the
sheriff CT Wyandotte county, was can
celled by wire
The charge IS that Prather had
tried to usurp the functions of the
district court by ordering the release
from the sheriff's custody OF Henry
Rosa zuziah. and Matt Modesia, who
violated an injunction previously is
sued against the use of certain
building as a saloon, and thereby put

Painless
Dentistry

cent of people want their teeth filed
or extracted without pain. Neverthe-
less many people will put off their
dental work until the teeth are badly
decayed and the nerves exposed then
they expect the dentist to treat them
without hurting. Which is usually
impossible The best way to obtain
painless dentistry Is to have your
teeth cleaned and carefully examined
by a reliable dentist at least once a
year. He will discover cavities long
before you are able to and if you fol-
low his advice and have them filed at
once you would save yourself lots of
unnecessary pain, trouble and ex-
pense and the work would be more
pleasant for both you and the dentist.
