for what they supposed to be . carload
Of -four. When they discovered that it
was barbed wire instead Of something
to eat they were expected to haul they
balked and no amount Of persuasion
could induce them to take out the wire.
Surmising the use to which the wire
was to be put they said that they didn't
want that stuff down there to pull all
the wool of Of tho sheep, tbat they did
not want to farm and didn't want the
country fenced up, and they went
back without the wire. The next day
the white man loaded the wire on his
big freight wagons and took It down to
the agency. The white man accom-
plishes his purposes with the "red

latter to resist, and merrily onward

VALUE OF AN EDUCATION.

The following clipped from an
article by Prof. ]. G. Lamson. on
the Cash Value Of an Education, +"
is a startling indication Of what a
day in school is worth to a man
preparing for work in the world !:
.'The average educated man gets
a salary OF $1,000 a year. He
works forty years, total of $780,
600 in q life time. The average
day laborer gets 81. so day, works
800 days in the year. or $45o a year.
In forty years he earns $I8.ooo
The difference Of $22, 900 equals the
financial value of an aducation.
To acquire this earning capacity
requires twelve years at school 200
days in the year, a,4oo days. Divide
$22, 900, the value of an education,
by 2,4oo, the number of days re-
quired in getting it, and we find
that each day at school is worth
nearly ten dollars to the pupil,
without considering the satisfaction
Of living much more useful life.
''Nor is the comparison much
less startling IL we consider our own
denominational workers. The aver.
age total earnings of a young man
who faithfully completes a good
academic course of twelve grades,
and develops into competent work.
er. may safely be placed at $3.50 a
year. This is $500 more a year
than the average uneducated day
laborer gets. Taking forty years
Of activity that would mean a differ
ence of Sra, 900. Dividing this by
the number of days spent in school
to complete the twelve grades we
have each school day worth $500
One dollar an hour, and yet how
many think schooling unnecessary
How many who consent to the ad
vantage, are willing to let the op'
portunities slipl How many stu.
dents realize that those days il
school are more valuable than any
equivalent time in after life."

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, August
28-Receipts of cattle were very good
last week, and though trade was slow
from time to time on the palmer cat
tie, the demand was good and the mar
ket fairly active on the good stuff.
Eastern markets were all reported low
er for the week, and prices here went
Off 10 to Is cents. Beef steers were not
very plentiful especially the good kinds
and trade was quiet. A bunch Of
Wyoming steers sold at $40 and most
of the pretty good grassers offered went
at t4.lO to $500, with palmer stuff at
1915 to $4.OO. Cows were wanted II
good but the palmer kinds were . little
dull. A bunch Of choice Wyoming
cows brought a. .05 and u load Of spayed
heifers from same territory brought
$435 few cows however, got above eS. 60
bulk Of the better killers going from
this down to $3l5 with palmer cows
from $285 to $500 and stock cows
largely at $500 to $2,76. Bulls active
as receipts were light and demand
good. Prices closed firm with stuf
selling today at A.75, feeder and stock
er supply fair but supply not heavy.
Extremely bot weather In the east has
damaged the corn crop and pastures
are burned up In some places, and
many buyers are therefor holding off
for further developments. The steers
here, however, all sold readily, most of
them bringing $3.50 to A.lO, quality
just fair. Choice feeders are quotable
up to $3.50 and fancy stuff on up.
Receipts today were light and demand
good, prices ruling steady to strong.
Hog demand good and receipts quite
liberal, prices now range from $3.50 to
7.75, market being slightly lower than
Thursday when best brought $7.75 to
$500.
Sheep receipts were good and trade
active. Lambs are higher, best selling
at $3.50, ewes brought "a. .25 and weth-
ers S.60. A string of feeder lambs sold
on Saturday at Sc. 25 freight paid, aver.
age 40 pounds.-W. N. Fulton.

EuRoPE thinks that the prosper
ity which is headed our way, now
that the tariff has been tinkered to
nobody's satisfaction. will postpone
any more tariff agitation for ten
years. Europe is thinking without
sufficient facts as basis for intel
ligent thought. Europe doesn't
know Mr.. Taft. who is not satisfied
with the tariff bill he signed. Nor
does Europe know Messrs. Cum
minis, Bristow, La Toilette. Dolliver
and others ofthe West, not to men,
tiou Messrs. Aldrich, Penrose, Hale
and Lode of the East. Neither oi
these groups is satisfied, though
the Aldrich group has largest rea.
SON for feeling content. AS a mat
ter of fact. the tariff is our present
paramount issue, not as between
Republicans and Democrats, but as
between those who would benefit a
few manufacturers by higher rates
and those who would benefit all OF
us by lower rates.

OKLAHolfA has the reputation Of

OKLAHOMA has the reputation OF
being cdfeless for precedents.
Sometimes that is no discredit.
The state Supreme Court, for ex-
ample, lays down this bit of com.
mon sense concerning technical err
rors in lewsuits: Lawyers will be
compelled to try their cases upon
their actual merits, and will cease
devoting so much time in attempt
ing to force technical errors in the
record. The reversal of the just
convictions of the guilty upon mere
ly technical questions is the prime
cause of the want of confidence in
the courts. The want of confidence
often results in mob violence on the
part ofa long suffering and outraged
public" /" There are states in which
great lawsuits are not suits at law
SO much as they are games of tech
nical skill. Every move is vital,
even to the substitution OF "a" for
.'an," or the omission of a perfectly
useless comma. If older states
were not too proud to follow Okla
homa's lead, the hair-splitting
which carries SO many cases to
successful reversal would come to
an end, and justice would walk
equally with judgement in court
decisions.

SHELTER IN MONTANA
EMPLOYING 1900 MEN
COMPELLED TO CLOSE

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. las a
result of the switchmen's strike the
Boston and Montana smelter, employ
ing about 1900 men, has partially closed
down and will be closed completely
within twenty-four hours.
The manager of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company at Helena
said tonight that his plant could run a
month on the ore supply now on hand.
His plant is also supplied with coal,
coke and f1uX.
The smelter maintains its own switch
ing crew. The bullion will be loaded
and the cars held until the railroads
are able to move them.
Forty-five switchmen are out here.
Except passenger trains and one or
two freights that can move without
switching no trains are going. Smaller
1000 men will be compelled to close in
the next few days if the strike con-
tinues.
The thirty-four striking switchmen
at Missoula have established headquar
ters near the depot. Switchmen be-
longing to the Brotherhood of Train
men and Order of Conductors are
striking all over this division of the
Northern Pacific as their working con-
tract was made through the Switch
mems union. President Holiness of
the Missoula union said today that
there was not a man working on the
division with the exception of crew
at Wallace, Idaho. Passenger traffic
is on time, but there was no freight
movement during the day.

Ihe Herald.
the departure for Washington tonight
of Martin A. Knapp of the Interstate
commerce commission and Labor Com
missioner Neill.
Mr. Knapp said he could do nothing
but offer his services, and at this time
they were not wanted.
Although the movement of freight on
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern lines is suspended and passenger
traffic delayed because of the strike,
there was little commotion at Seattle
today in business and railroad circles,
for there is a general feeling there the
strike win not continue long.
Raise Is Ignored
On all bulletin boards of the rail-
roads notice of an increase of 2 cents
an hour in switchmen's wages was
posted today but. not a sWitchman re-
turned to work, so far as known. No
freight trains are running. Perishable
freight is refused and other freight is
accepted subject to delay.
Passenger trains are leaving their
stations an hour or two late. Yard
masters and station employees are MAX
maintained by the strikers at all points.
Railroad officials say they have re-
ceiVed assurances from members of the
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers and the Conductors and
Trainmen that there is no possibility
of a sympathetic strike. None of the
railroad employees not on strike has
shown the least wish to delay traffic.
Operating officials in the northwest
have made an attempt to hire new
men, and are awaiting instructions
from st. Paul. 1t was said at the
Northern Pacific offices here tonight
that new men would be employed as
soon as it was decided to begin the
movement of freight, and that it was
not feared the strike would spread
when the new men went to work.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound road has not been affected by
the strike. Most of the cities in the
Pacific northwest are reached by other
roads than the two whose switchmen
are out, and consequently a shortage
of coal and supplies will not result.

COCHRAN, Ga, Dec. John Har-
ward, negro preacher, who shot and
fatally injured w. B. Booth this after
noon, tonight was captured five miles
from here and burned at the stake.
Booth is a we'll known business man
of Hawkinsville. Ga. and was en- route
to Cochran in an automobile when the
shooting occurred. He drove up be-
hind Harvard, who was in front OF
him in a wagon.
Harvard charged that Booths ma
chine frightened his mules. After a
few words he drew a pistol and fired
at Booth, three shots taking effect.
Booth returned the fire and slightly
wounded the negro in two places. Har-
ward was found in a barn three miles
from the locality of the shooting.
Booth was brought here Immediately
Physicians said tonight there was
little hope of his recovery. He has q
wife and several children.
officers from Hawkinsville went 70
the scene of the shooting in automo-
biles, but a party of citizens was
formed and tracked the negro to his
hiding place. He showed fight, but
was suffering so severely from his
wounds that he could offer little re-
sistance. He freely admitted the
shooting, and it is said justified him
self by the fact that Booths automo-
bile frightened his mules.
Harvard was given an opportunity
to pray, after which he was bound with
chains to stake. The fuel was piled
high above his head and the torch ap-
piled.

near them. One rail of the track was
raised with a jack under it, To leave
the rail in that condition meant a
wreck To release the jack meant
probable death to the workmen. All
except Gentry ran. Gentry stayed and
removed the jack. The engine struck

jack out of the way and the rail
dropped into it's normal position. Pas
