we most heartily indorse the pur-
poses and aim of the Anti-Saloon
League; that we appreciatively
recognize its splendid legislative
work and see in the movement
the most effective organized pow
er against the saloon yet. We
deplore and can not indorse the
injudicious political utterances in

credited representative of the
Anti Saloon League and. suggest
that our pulpits be not open to

Aftermath.
I. III. Edmonds and w. Duns-
more, white men arrested by the
sheriff of jackson Parish, were
conveyed to Shreveport by
Deputy Sheriff Cupp, of Vim,
and placed in Jail last week, as
the Jail in Vernon could not ac-
commodate them.
These men are alleged to have
belonged to the party who some
days ago made an attack on lot
of Bulgarfans who were employed
by the fremont Lumber Co., and
were robbed and beaten. Sub
sequently the same foreigners
we're attacked by negroes near
Award, aud one of them murdered.
Several of the negroes were ar
rested. The governor offered q |
reward for the apprehension of
any of the men engaged in these
outrages.

Accidental Death.

Last Tuesday the community was
shocked to learn of the accidental
death of Sam Pierson who lives
north of Plains, Kansas. AS near
as we can learn the details were as
follows: Mr.. Pierson in company
with his wife had gone to the field
for load of bundle feed; they had
only an ordinary wagon box. They
had loaded it up and when about
10 rods from the corral gate some
colts ran out and scared one of the
horses Mr.. Pierson was driving,
which gave a jump throwing Mr..
Pierson under the wheel of the wag-
on which passed over his chest
smashing his ribs and injuring his
heart. He got up and walked to
the house a short distance and said
he was going to die. He lived just
a short time. It is about as sad an
accident as was ever our duty to
chronicle and the entire family have
the sympathy of all the people.
The funeral was held Wednesday at
the home and internment will be
made today in Graceland cemetery.

future, weshave begun the same this
week. We begin with four pages
but as soon as business will permit
we expect to add two and then four
more pages making s pages of all

We either had to do this or raise the
price of the subscription and we did
not want to do this. We want to
give you a good paper and still make
little for ourselves.

Golden State Jumped Track on
High Embankment But
Stood Up.

From Hutchinson News JAM, 10
The Rock Island Golden State
Limited which was due here at 7:Is
O'Clock yesterday afternoon did not
arrive here until about $3.50 o'clock
this morning, the eighteen hour de-
lay being due to the train being
wrecked early yesterday morning
down in New Mexico. This wreck
was most peculiar one and the
passengers on the train were thank
ing their stars this morning that they
were alive to tell the story.
The scene of the wreck was on the
Ell Paso and Northeastern tracks
about middle way between Ell Paso
and Tucumcari. There is big fill
here, the railroad tracks being on an
embankment about fifty feet high.
The entire train with the exception
of the engine and the rear Pullman
left the tracks. Even the wheels of
the tender jumped the rails. The
weight of the engine and the rear
car was sufficient to hold up the
train and keep it from turning over.
Had the train rolled down that en-
bankment there would no doubt
have been great loss life. AS it
was no one was injured in the least.

The farmers Mail and Breeze of
Topeka defends mail order houses
as following, article clipped from
last weeks issue shows:
"There is usually some fake story
going the rounds of the local press
concerning an alleged crookedness
some mail order house. This time
it is story of one of the great
Chicago mail order houses being
prosecuted because the white lead
used in their paint is said to be i'm
pure. Of course this stoty has been
invented to help local dealers, and
is without hint of the truth for
foundation.
Speaking of paint being pure, one
of our friends sent to the very mail
order house that is now being "prc-
secuted" (by local dealers) because
of an alleged impurity in white lead
used. He sent for white paint, and
it, cost him after paying freight,
SLOT a gallon. This was several
months ago, He lacked some of
having enough to do the work, SO
went to home dealer for the re-
mainder, paying 81 60 for it. There
was Absolutely no d ference in the
quality of either paint. One is
wearing as well as the other. Fifty
nine cents is quite lump to save on
the price of one gallon of paint
