years, but it was claimed that his mind
had been impaired for many years. the
effects of the treatment he received by
band Of guerinas during the civil war.
According to the old gentleman'e son,
one day during the early part of the war
band OF Union troopers came to the
Samuel farm and demanded to know
the whereabouts of Frank James. DR..
Samuel replied that he did not know,
and in an effort to force the knowledge
from him the soldiers took him and
hanged him to tree until he was al
the same.
According TO reports the soldiers also
insulted the James boys sister, and that
fact coupled with the treatment of the
step-father, is said to have been one of
the causes IN deciding them to join the
Quantren gang, and they swore yenge-
ance upon the men, most Of whom we're
personally known to the Jameses.
+ The story is also told, hut the anthem
ITCHY of it is not vouched for, that they
succeeded in killing most Of the men
vino were implicated IN the outrage.
The story goes that some time after the
war Jesse James was walking down the
streets OF Chicago when he saw one of
the men who was connected with the
attack, and without word, with his
hand and revolver In bis pocket, Jesse
killed him, and that he was not appre-
hended for the deed. The truth of the
story is not confirmed.
John Samuel, the son of the doctor
and who took charge OF the body last
week, when asked il the story of
Quantrell's death about year ago was
true, said:
"Quantren died in his last fight, just
after the close Of the war. know the
report has been circulated since that he
escaped, and chat there was rumor
about his living near Vancouver, b. O.,
under an assumed name and dying a
year age, but that is all mist AXE. He
died fighting, just as You read it in the
histories"
"Frank James is living, and so is our
mother, Fr2nk is farming in eastern
Oklahoma and is aixty-tive years Old.
Mother is eighty three uow-two years
older than father"
1t will be reme'u bercd that the re !

Some Questions Answerea.

The most common ohsector saCs tho
Farmers Union will not stick. Farm
ers are the greatest Orgaaixers and
sticlzers in the world aRd they wild
stick when there 10 something to stick
for. Show the farmers benefits in the
way Of profitable prices for their
crops and no power on earth can draw
them apart.
The farmers have got enough sense
to appreciate a profitable business
and they will stick to the thing that
makes them money ana elsvates their
calling.
But still another says farmers are
too numerous to cooperate. This Is a
great fallacy. If great numbers was
an element of weakness, then indeed
our cause would be hopeless. Would
you think a nation weak because it had
millions of able-bodied men? No;
but you would say, Organize them
into armies and equip them with up
to-date arms and they will be irwin.
chile before any invasion" SO with
the farmers. The greater the union,
the greater the strength, provided you
have up-to-date methods and plans
to cooperate on.
A union without plan and pro-
gram is no union at all. Unity Of
prices and controlled marketing is the
up-to-date gun and even farmers can
use 1t.
And now another objector comes
along and says, Suppose the farmer
should produce surplus?" Are farm
ars expected to be foolish enough to
throw In their surplus for good meas
ure? Surely not. Controlled market
ing will take care of the surplus IL
any exists, and if farmers are cooper.
ating they can easily hold the surplus
of good seasons over to the short
years, thus eQualizing supply and
prices and beneftting both producers
and consumers.
appeal to you farmers, brothers, In
behalf Of the tired wives and mothers
of your homes, and if you are not will
ing to stand up for the freedom and
glory of such high and exalted devo-
ton, you are unworthy to be called
a husband and father and to bear the
name of an American citizen. What
must be the quality Of the courage Of
the farmer who stands back and re-
fuses to assist In throwing off the
cowardly ours Of commercialism who
have fastened their rabid mouths upon
the threats Of helpless women and
children on the farm and threaten the
Industrial life Of the nation? The
farmer who falters is coward. Then
let's be up and doing, brother farm
ers. Place a standard upon our bust
ness like the commercial interests have
done and then conform to the stand

which we will not allow our produce

MAScOTS UNIVERSAL.
Yes; just ga,

Mascots have had their place in
the world for many generations.
Cats, as with the ancient Egyptians !;
grasshoppers, as in Italy, and vari-
GUS other specimens of animal life
have in their time been counted as
sacred or lucky by different peoples.
So it is only continuance of old
customs that has caused baseball
teams to take along an animal or a
small boy when they go upon the
diamond to try their skill with other
players. The custom has spread to
such an extent that to-day there is
not vessel in the navy of the Uni
ted States that has not some kind of
a mascot. This assertion will apply
with almost equal force to the other
navies of the world.

Advertise the Union.

If outsiders do not know what good
we are doing, 1t is mainly because we
do not tell them.
Travelling through a still morgan
lied country, was unable to find one
single farmer who knew anything
about our Union. heard later that
efforts had been made to organize that
county, but that they had failed, 1t was
said on account of lack Of interest.
On investigation, 1 found though that
none of the local papers had ever
received one single communication
from the Union, and that the meetings
had not been advertised. That same
story can probably be told in many
other counties. A publicity campaign,
made in advance and well advertised
meetings, would very probably have
given quite different results.

they be of general interest. Every

be found, appoint Union correspond.
end for the local papers and particu-
larly the organizers should avail
themselves Of all what the newspapers
are willing to do for them and for US.
OF course, the maximum of results
can be obtained only by systematic
work. A regular service of Union pub
licity should begin below, with the To-
calls and the county Unions. Arrange
ments can be made with most of the
local papers, whereby certain amount
of space would be reserved for the
Union and edited under it's RESPONSE
bility (similarly to the temperance
and w. G. T. U. columns). Whatever
a local or q county will have to pay
to its union editor, will prove good
investment and result In an increase
of interest in. the Union and its men,

The State. as well as the National
Union, ought to organize their bureau
of publicity, which should keep in con.
slant touch with the daily papers and
the news agencies. At comparatively
little expense complete system of ad-
vertising the Union could and should
be established. 1t would not only help
dispel many Misunderstanding and
false reports circulating in the press,
but gain many new friends and men,

HOW DIPHTHERIA IS SPREAD
Bacillus Conveyed by Poultry Into the
Cattle Yards and Stables Of
the Farms,

The enormous mortality from
diphtheria among wood pigeons of
late years has formed the subject of
investigation by medical men for
some time past, and as a result of
their labors we have been assured
that the bacterium which caused this
mortality was not communicable
either to man or to other animals.
But DR.. W. L.. Sambon of the Lon
don School of Tropical Medicine,
has just contributed a long account
of the disease to the Lancet, wherein
he contends that in supposing the
virulenoe of this disease to be con-
fined to the wood pigeons we are
probably laboring under grave mis-
take. He has at any rate shown, if
he has not actually proved, that the
wood pigeon bacillus is equally de-
structive to the domesticated pigeons,
and that these in turn infect game
birds and domesticated fowls. The
latter carry the disease into the cat
tie yards and stables of farms, VIC
timizing the horses on the one hand
and COWS on the other. Thence the
teamster and the milkman among
the farm hands become infected, the
latter distributing the germs with
the milk sent to town!
