Alfred Kinard, a notorious character
Of Perry county. lies seriously wound
ed In the Harrisburg, Pa. hospital as
the result of a desperate battle in 8
small mountain settlement north Of
Harrisburg. where he attempted To
rob the store OF Lewis Myers
Holding up the entire hamlet at the
point of his revolver, Kinard entered
the store, but was interrupted by
Oscar Heisley. who procured q re-
volver and opened fire on the despe-
RADIO. Kinard fell after a half dozen
shots had been exchanged, but was up
and away into the thick underbrush
before his pursuers could capture him.
He was badly wounded in the left
thigh, but managed to hide himself
until the chase had been abandoned
and then crawled over the mountain
and through the woods to the home Of
his brother, Amos Kinard, several
miles distant in Cumberland county.
Bleeding and almost unconscious
when he reached there, he begged his
brother to take him in and hide him.
The brother did take him in but inn
mediately sent for an officer. There is
a reward Of SIS for the arrest Of
Kinard. and the brother will get the
money. Kinard was hurried to the
Harrisburg hospital where he is ex-
pected to die of loss OF blood. For
years he has been noted for his dar-
ing lawlessness and is wanted for as
saulting officers of the law. for burg
larry and horse stealing. Heretofore he
has always managed to get away by
hiding in the mountains.

consin river above Biron this sum-
mer have been successful in making
some very fine catches of pike and
bass. We mean particular as to the
size. Dr.. J. j. Looze recently caught
a small mouth bass which weighed
a little better than five pounds. This
fish was on exhibition in the Wood
County Drug store for one day to
convince the lovers of this sport that
the uoctor had the goods to show
for his story. The doctor told Of
what pleasure he had in landing
this bass and that it took him about
one hour to tire the fish out so that
he could get him into the boat. The
doctor was as delighted over
this catch as he was when a boy
wearing his first red top boots. Prof.

We hear a great deal of talk in
the Stalwart Press, by Stalwarts and
others who are opposed to the re-
election of U. S. Senator, Robert NJ.
l.aFollette This opposition has been
against the Senator, ever since he
was a candidate for Governor Of Wis
consin for the first time, and with
that opposition he has been sue
cessful in being elected to the gov
ernorship three different times and
the Senatorship once. This same ele-
ment is now plotting and organizing
against his reelection for Senator
ship for the second term. 1t is our
opinion that in spite of their organ
ization, with all the moneyed inter
ests. and all the combinations they
can form against the Senator, that
they will fail in their desire, as they
have in the past. We believe as
long as the Senator will fight for
the best interests of the common
people as he did while Governor of
the State of Wisconsin, and as he
has been doing ever since he was
elected U. S. Senator, there is no
danger of his defeat. We have great
faith in the sense of Justice and
Right possessed by the good people
of Wisconsin, that they will support
and defend him in his excellent fight
for the people of this state, and
the people of the nation. The oppo-
sition' can organize and plan, but
they will fail in their desire to de-
feat the Senator. While he makes
some mistakes, and possesses some
peculiarities, that you don't find in
most public men, his heart is right,
and his fight for the common peo-
pie is grea-'y to be admired, sup
ported and defended When the time
comes the good people Of all par
ties will rally to his support and see
that he is returned to the U. S.
Senate nearly as strong, as the del
egation which was elected for him
when he was a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States. AS
long as he continues to fight for
the peoples rights as he has in the
past, We shall continue to be devoted
to his cause of right.

STRONG SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
OF SETTLEMENT.

Since the matter Of difference be-
tween NJ. \. Bogoger and L. Four
nier has been settled, we have inter
viewed a large number of business
men and citizens, all of whom appear
to be Of the opinion that the matter
of difference between the city of
Grand Rapids and NJ. A. Bogoger
should now be settled right away
and the appeal to the Supreme Court
be dropped. The argument in favor
of this move we believe to be
good one. The business interests at
the four corners at the intersections
OF Vine and Second street are very
important and with the building that
is now going on by the Wood Coun-
ty National Bank people, necessitates
this room more than ever. We ask
on behalf of the citizens generally
a settlement of these differences
without litigation, and we believe
that NJ. A. Bogoger and the City of
Grand Rapids should both give and
take a little in this settlement. We
believe that We are safe in saying
that Mr.. Bogoger will consent to
an arbitration of his interests. If
the city will do the same an equit-
able and amicable settlement should
be reached. Let every business man
and citizen who believes as we do
in this matter, aid in bringing about
a settlement that will save money
to both sides of the controversy.
Drop all personal and public feel
ings in the matter and get together
on a common place ground of equity.

is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the EuStachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a

when II is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed

EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS

The equal accommodation suit
which has been pending before
the corporation commission for
some time was brought to a close
Saturday when all the railroads of
the State, excepting the F. 5. &
W., were requested to set aside an
entire coach, with smoking apart
ment and separate toilets, for the
accommodation OF Negro passen-
gers. This is distinct victory
for the committee which appeared
before the commissioners because
some of the railroads reluctantly
furnished half of a Jim crow coach.
But when we remember that the
Jim Grow" law as enacted by our
first Legislature distinctly said,
"equal accommodation" though
separate, we think it a disgrace
that part of the citizens of the
State are forced to go before any
kind of a body and ask that the
law be enforced.
Complete separation is as much
desired by our people as whites,
but we demand in that separation
equal accommodation to chair,
pullman and tourist cars, or on
the other hand repeal of the in
famous Jim crow law in the State
of Oklahoma.
And they tell us that the rail-
roads are just as bitterly opposed
to the Jim crow laws as some other
people because of the heavy ex-
pense attached thereto. If this be
the case, then why don't they ex-
tend their corporation purses and
assist us in defeating the whole
blamed shooting match before the
court of appeals at St Paul?
Such assistance is out of the ques-
ton, therefore it is up to you and
me to dig down in our jeans
among our dimes and pennies and
push such grievance 10 a final and
successful conclusion-successful
because we are right.-Oklahoma

ing into the market tons of fine

our race engaged in truck garden
ing. 1t is absolutely impossible for
the present production of eggs,
fruit and garden truck to supply
the local market. There is a splen-
did opportunity for the colored
gardener. About this city, land
can be purchased at a reasonable
price and on terms to suit the pur-
chaser. We need at least hun
dred Negro truck gardeners and
truck peddlers about the city. 1t is
surprising that in a big city like
Denver not single Negro vegeta-
BILE peddler is seen. Our people in
the East and South, who feel the
yoke of oppression, should do well
to come to Colorado, buy some of
this cheap land, and in few years
they will be rich.

both for the enjoyment of right,

are, and then do your best.

SAVING A REPUBLIC.

ring to it. But what did that Com
mission 90 to Africa for? For the

more or less of this great African
Commission, but nothing more tan
gible than ''to save the republic.

Five bishops of the African M. E,
church, who complained to the in
terstate commerce commission
that they were Disseminated
against by Southern railroads and
by the Pullman company in trans
portation, dining facilities and
sleeping car Accommodations, have
been informed by the commission
that their complaint was not war
ranted. 1t was alleged by the
complainants that the day coaches
furnished for Negro passengers in
the Southeastern states were not
equal to those provided for white
people; that Negroes were denied
sleeping car accommodations; and
that they were refused food in the
dining cars solely because of their
color. 1t is held by the commiss-
ion that undue discrimination or
prejudice was not shown, and the
complaint therefore was dismissed.

IT has been cold and rainy in
Colorado so long that many OF us
have about forgotten that summer
has come. But the record OF the
past few days has been sufficient
to convince the most skeptlcal.
With the coming Of midsummer
make an inventory, and if possible,
there is the same disposition to

ours at Christmas. 1t is well to go
over last winter accounts, and see

TO look over the house, see where
repairs are needed and get ready.
1t is even better if you are not a
property owner, to quit paying
rent, buy home and have some
thing to show for what you pay out

long ways towards making a peo-
