place and provide for her during the
remainder Of her life
Since he secured the property he
has refused to provide for her in any
way The Relief society of the ward
in which she lived assisted her for
several months. About two months
ago Wiseman succeeded in getting her
into the poor house. AS soon as this
was done he announced his intention
of getting married The date of the
wedding has been set and he intended
TO sell the property and leave the city
with his bride.

SAW REED KILLED.
Thinks Holt a Coward If His
Story Of the Murder Is True.

The Ceniralia Guard commented
as follows last week:
Cicero Holt, a Galloway county
boy, now comes to the front to get
in the lime light by telling that he
saw w. +. Reed murdered in Mex
leo on the night Of May 10th, 1907.
Holt says be stood across the street
and saw two men. whom he did
not know, but who he thinks, were
white, slip up behind Reed and
knock him down. He says he
watched while they rifled the man 8
pockets, and then drag him into
the Ross lawn. He says he heard
the groans aud more blows were
struck. Then says, the narrator,
be went to his boarding place aud
went to bed, fearing to tell any one
OF the crime for fear the murderers
would flud him and kill him. He
heard of the murder the followin z
day, but he said not a word that
would help in the solution of the
mystery surrounding the crime.
Holt went to Iowa. where he has
lived mp to a short time ago, when
he removed to Stephens Store.
Prosecuting attorney of Audrain
county says he intends calling
young Holt before the Audrain
grand jury when it cOnveues Jan.
IL, 1909.
The murder of w. f. Reed was
one Of the most mysterious that
ever happened in Mexico, and pub
lie sentiment was worked up to
such a pitch that a reward of
e., 400 was made up among the
business men Of the city inside a
few hours. This was subsequently
raised to $4,000. A detective was
employed aud every means used to
unearth the murderers.
Cicero Holt's statements do not
coincide in every detail with the
evidence given at the inquest. He
says he saw the murderers knock
the man in the head and rifle his
pockets, and then carry the body
into the Ross yard, where it was
found in the morning. AT the in.
quest it was proved by evidence
that Reeds body was seen lying at
the place he was first felled and
that the body was moved or in
some manuer got into the Ross
lawn hours after if was first seen.
Holt certainly should have the
medal for cowardice if his story is
true.

importance demands.

THOUGHTS FROM PRAIRIE LEA sCREA MER
Energy nerver runs out of some.

Lasting reputation is not built
on the shifting sauds of bluster
and show, but on the solid rock OF
duty well performed.
Seek and ye shall fnd; ask aud
ye shall receive; knock and it shall
be opened unto you," applies to
temporal things as we'll as to
spiritual things.
Thine is the life. aud Ambition
is the key of gold that unlocks the
iron door of Opportunity for those
who would possess the better things
that time affords.
Obi how much of life is lost for
the lack OF a little ambition-a
little more push-a little more
striving after things that are
enobling. educating, and elevating.
A faint heart is "bushel meas.
ure" which has prevented many
youthful mind from shedding its
light, and help, aud beautiful in
fiuence upon the world.
Our minds are the talents the
great Husbandmau has given us, -
our lives represent the time until
He shall return again aud claim
His own, aud the harvest will be
just what we make it.
Talents unused, aud undevelop-
ed, is no more talent than a peck
of wheat is field Of waving grain.
The heights reached by others
are not too dizzy for you. for ad-
versity only lends increased effort
to ambition and makes yon capa.
BILE of winning greater victories.
The cultivation of our minds is
a duty we owe to ourselves, our
fellow man, and our God. To
waste time is to rob God aud every
once else. Life is too short to sit
and await an opportunity. Seek
opportunity and it will meet You
halfway; put heart and soul into
your work and victory is yours.
Circumstance will no more make
the man than a pile of books will
make a school. The real man
moulds the circumstance to his
purpose.
While we are learning to live.
