Gun Club Reorganized.

The Meade Gun Club, after a
long period of inactivity is again
in evidence and Christmas day
the boys got together and the
blue rocks suffered. Four ten
bird shoots were pulled off with
from 7 th 10 entries in each shoot.
Ed Green and John Sweet led in
the final result, with % kills for
the former and 36 for the latter.
Leo McMee1 walked away with
third money having 80 breaks to
his credit. With little practice
Meade will have the best club in
the country, which fact will pro.
badly make Liberal sit up and
take notice.

and they have large traction steam
engine with which they plow and
seed their farm. In the threshing

A long term of years is not now

Land Titles Should Be Registered

Having occasi on to | O k
through the neumerical index
and hunt up some records, we
acc1dently run on to case which
exemplifes the necessity of
registering all papers pertaining
to land titles as soon as they are
executed and delivered.
A party whom we will call John
Doe, for we do not wish to adver-
tise any weakness of title or
cloud on same, received from the
original owner by warranty deed
some town lots. He, in 1888 by
warranty deed conveyed same to
person we will designate as
Richard Roe. Roe did not have
his deed recorded. Later the
original owner received the lots
back from his grantee, Doe by
quit claim deed. Afterwards he
conveyed by warfantee deed to
other parties, who in turn con-
veyed to third party. In the
mean time some one who was a
stranger to the record, that is
had no interest in the lots what
ever, and possibly by mistake in
description conveyed the lots to
another, and entirely different
party. Now, week or two ago
comes third purchaser, Rich
ard Roe, and records his deed
which was executed in 1888. To
day these lots are valuable and
Mr.. Roe wishes to hold the prop
erty which he believes is his by
right of purchase. By inquiry
we learn that for nearly Is years,
under shadow of title, these lots
have been in actual possession of
parties using them. Either
there must be a compromise
among the several secord owners
of this property, or persons
whom by the records seem to
have an equity in the property
and at considerable expense to
the persons who finally obtains
the clear title, or he must obtain
after long and expensive litiga-
ton, a judgment of court of
competent jurisdiction confirm
ing his title and barring all the
others.
Every owner of land should
have an abstract of his titles, and
have same examined by a COM
petent attorney versed in titles,
for as the years progress it will
be more and more difficult to
straighten out titles which by
mistake or design have been
bungled. 1t is a common idea
that if one receives a warranty
deed to a tract of land he can
without further trouble or quib-
BILE make clean title to same.

MIR. FL. Bennett met with

Mr.. F. /. Bennett met with a
painful accident while helping to
decorate the Methodist church
for the Christmas festivities.
By some means he knocked over
one of the lamps, which as it
broke cut his left wrist on the
out side near the joint. The
cash being about one and a half
inches long. There are some
indications that the leader of the
little finger is injured if not en-
tirely severed. The wound is
quite painful yet but is pro-
crossing towards healing as
rapidly as could ba hoped for.

Building Up The City.


There are many plans, and
some elaborate specifications for
building up a town, but the first
requisit is faith in the town and
in themselves on the part of the
citizens and business men of the
town. The second is loyalty on
the part of the same persons to
the town. Then let every one
consider himself or herself a
committee of one to boost the
town. Then use printers ink to
let the world at large know the
advantages of the town as a busl-
ness place and of its social ad-
vantages, for no one cares to live
in town which is not a pleasant
place socially and clean morally.
Then the business men must in
form the publis of the advantag-
es of trading with them. -
In conversation with a busl-
ness man on this subject the
other day, he remarked that the
farmers loyalty was what made
a town. Or that was the mean
ing of his words. That if the
farmers were loyal and gave the
town merchants their trade it
would make the town.
On which we inquired if he
ever asked the farmer to trade
with him to which he replied no,
that advertising would not 60 it..
Now speaking to the business
men, we respectfully submit,
that neither the farmers around
a town or business men from
out side will get out search
warrant to find out what the
merchants have to sell or what
the town has to offer investors.
Neither do they usuly crowd
their trade or business on to a
city or the merchants thereof.
There is this to consider, and
that is that any successful busl-
ness in a town is a benefit to
every person in the town. Then
let every one boost his own busi-
ness, then the business of the
town collectively. by good words
and good Offices. Let the rival
ry between business men be
sharp, but keep it on clean busi-
ness lines. Make your own
business a progressive and ag-
gresive one.
When out side capital knocks
at the door be quick to open and
then see that it stays inside.
Another thing, show your faith
by your work, use the money
gained by business in the town
to build up the business interests
of the town, not to build up that
of some other town. Then get
together, pull together, the team
which fails to pull together fails
to start the load. "Brethern
think on these things" if there
be any truth in them and if you
have better thoughts express
them.

It would

the peace of the grave. It would
mean the death of advancement
for the minority nations. Nature
has, under Gods will been ar
ranged on lines of the survival of
the ftest, The rule has held
good as to nations in the past
and will in the future. Any at
tempt to interfear with that rule
nationally has resulted in the
death of individual iniative and
congealing of progress for that
nation, and has spelled decay.
Japan and China are present ex-
amp1es of such an attempt.
They are breaking the rule of
repression and their progress is
astonishing the western world.
Those two nations are dreaming
of the subjection of the white
race. That dream will not be
realized, for two reasons, first
the war of races is not now de-
cided on the material field but in
mercantile ane Intellectual fields.
Second if the wheels of progress
could be turned back by these
two half awake nations and an
appeal be made to arms, there is
no doubt as to the final result.
War means killing men d
while the Japanese and Chinese
are rockies of life even the in
dividual of his own life, the Anglo
Saxon is a killer. He will not
throw his life away neither will
he preserve it by shirking. In
such contest the reckless sac
r1hce OF life as blythe Japanese
in the late war with Russia would
mean defeat for them. In such
a war the Anglo Saxon would be
saving of life, but his every move
! would mean murder from the
safest stand point. Neither the
dream of the orenta1s of stop
ping progress by mastering the
white races, nor Mr.. Rhodes by
a preponderance of weight will
end wars. But Mr.. Rhodes
educational idea will tend to that
end by erasing predjudice of
race. The end of war will come
through the teachings of Christ,
in the final liberty of individuals,
to follow their own devices while
good and their repression when
bad, as considered from the
stand point of the good of the
whole. Mr.. Rhodes idea will
advance that condition.

Foot Ball.
BY Sporting Editor.


The foot ball game Christmas day
between the High School and the
Alumni came off in fine style, the
High School being defeated by a.
score of I6 to o.
In the first half the High School
klcked-off to the Alumni who did
not make much gain. The game
was fought even for abont IS min
utes when the Alumni punted, Wehrle
recovering the ball making a touch
down. Stalder kicked goal. Not
much more was done this half when
time was called leaving the score 6
to o in favor of the Alumni.
The second half started off just
like the first, the High School kick
ing-off to the Alumni. This time
the Alumni went through the High
School after a series of line punches
and end runs. Conger carried the
ball through the line and made 10
yard run for a touchdown. The
Alumni failed to kick goal.
The Alumni kicked off to the
High School who were downed on
the spot. For a short time the
Alumni went 10 pieces letting the
High School get to their S yard line
where they failed to make their
yards and lost the ball. The Alumni
punted, Graves recovering the ball
and making 60 yard run for q
touchdown. Time was now called
and no goal was kicked leaving the
final score of E to o.
Conger, the Alumni left half useC
good judgment all through the game
being on the spot at all times check
ing line punches and end runs. HI
was also there at carrying the bal
never failing to make his yards
From all appearances shown he wa
the star player of the game. Thi:
was his first game this year and if he
was In trim no line could hold hin
from making less than 10 yards.
The Graves Bros. on ends for th'
Alumni stopped everything tha
came their way. Hackman, th
Alumni full back held up his end o
the game, so did Woods and Stal
der. Both the Alumni and Higl
School lines stayed at standstil
and were about even in weight.
Seger; the High School full bacl
was the star on that team, next cam
Farrell Bros, who deserved mucl
credit. "Ax" Rosenberg at righ
end delivered the goods. "Si" Per
kins and Campbell, the High Schoo
halves played good game. Th'
famous guard "Doc" Fee was un
able to do much.

QUEENS
HEARING

WASHINGTON, January 14.-After
years of vain endeavor to obtain COM
.pensation for the loss of her kingdom,
Liliuokalani, former Queen of the
kingdom of Hawaii, today appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Claims
to plead her cause. 1t was the first
time in history that real Queen, for
mer or otherwise, faced a committee
of the House. The Queensis willing to
accept $3.50, 900 as a complete settle
ment. She was accompanied by Prin-
cess Kalanianaole, wife of Jonah Ku-
hio Kalanianaole, Delegate to Con-
gress.
The Prince, a cousin of the Queen,
and Judge NJ. Hatch, who figured in
the Hawaii provisional government in
1898, were present to assist her in pre-
only by the assistance of American
marines was the kingdom overthrown
and the crown lands wrested from the
Queen. They contended also that she
had a life interest in them, entirely
independent of her holding the throne.
Nothing in the dress of the former
ruler limited of regal splendor, unless
a large bunch of aigrettes in her lit
tie black hat might be considered
queenly. A brown velvet dress and a
loose coat clothed the diminutive fig
ure of the claimant, who appeared
small in comparison with the Prin-
cess by her side. All the members Of
the committee were introduced to the
former Queen. The committee Will
consider her claim.
Heirs Of George Washington appear
ed today before the House Committee
on Claims to urge a claim of 1906, 100
as reimbursement for 5000 acres Of
land along the Little Miami River in
Ohio, which was granted to Washing
ton, but was lost under conflicting
grants made by the authority of the
United States, Liliuokalani was ask
ed to remain to see how claims base
on rights of even former Presidents of
this country drag along.

-Gtil 1Co Years Ago E:ec-t:o..-'s
 Were PerE itted to Practice.

Two or three centuries ago eXecu tioners not infrequc ntly peIfCrlnad surgical operations. says the British Medical Journal. This seems to have been partiC ularly the ca-e in Denmark. July 24, 1579, license was issued by Frederick II. to finders Freimut, exc autioner of Copenhagen, granting him the right to set bones and treat old wounds; he was expressly forbidden 70 meddle With recent wounds. In 1909 it is recorded in the municipal archives of Copenhagen that Gaspar, the hangman, had received four rigs ialers for the cure of two sick children in the infirmary In 163S Christian " summoned the eXecutioner of Chuck Stadt in Holstein to examine the dis 9ased foot of the crown prince. In etter addressed to Ole Worm, lead ing Danish physician of the day, Henry foster, physician-in-ordinary to the king, complains bitterly of he -nsn. thus put upon him. He says that U two whole months the hangman, ~wEJ is as fit to treat the case as an ass is to play the Tyre" had the case ill hand and the doctor was not asked his advice. Again, in 1881, Christian V. gave a fee of 200 rigs dalers to the Copenhagen hangman for curing the leg of a page. In 1732. Bergen, an eXecutioner in Norway, was authorized by royal decree to practice surgery.
 Even up to the early years of the nineteenth century this extraordinary association of surgery with the las penalty of the law continued. Erik Peterson, who was appointed publ" executioner at Trondhjem in 1796 served as surgeon to an infa ltry regi ment in the war with Sweden, and re- r.red in 1874 with the rank of surgeon major. Frederick I. of Prussia chose his favorite hangman, Coblenz, to be his physician-in- ordinary. It might be inspected that this peculiar combina- tion Of functions had it's origin in a satirical view of the art of healing: but in the records we have quoted We can trace nothing of the kind. Per haps the ezecutioner drove a trade iA human fat and other things surrosed to possess marvellous heal y proper ties; he may thus have come to b.. credited with skill in hcaling. though the association surely represents the lowest degree to which tte surgeon has ever fallen in public esteem and social position.
