Honesty Rewarded

ANY kind oi carriage can be thor
nughly advertised and sold, even
though the carriage does not repre-
sent more than hall value for the
money YOU have paid but these people
cannot long sell this kind Of carriage
and usually do not stay in business
more than four or FIVE years. at best,
and YOU cannot sell any such carriage
continually for twenty years as wind
alone. and but little value doesn't last
that long.
The firm who builds carriages for
twenty years and sells TO practically
the same people means that this firm
must have been giving the very best
possible value for the money. and this
has always been our motto and our
highest aim We have continuously
improved our work until today il is as
near perfect n il is possible 10 make

who. IN all these twenty years oi our

Protest Against Duty And Ask
Congressional Aid.

lola, Kans, Mar 20.--At mass
meeting here tonight of business men
of lola, Gas City and LaHarpe a res

the proposed increase in the tariff on
zinc ore.
The resolution, which is addressed
to the representatives of this district
in Washington. declares the impor-
tation of foreign ores has become a
necessity, and says if the duty is in
creased to one cent a pound, as pro-
posed, it will work hardship to
Southwestern Kansas, and will carry
no corresponding benefit to any other
section of the country Such an in
crease, it is stated will be a serious
blow to the smelling industry and
will result in the shutting down of
many smelters This action is sup
posed to be another move Of the
smelter interests to defeat the tariff
on zinc and enable them to buy cheap

NEWSPAPER ATTACKS
ARE INJURTING THE STATE

Guthrie, Okla, Mar 20.-Many in
stances have come to light lately
where the partisan attacks of the re-
publican press have been copied in
the eastern papers and have seriously
hurt the commercial interests Of the
state.
Attention was directed today to a
report printed in a partisan paper to
the effect that all creditor of a rail
road had to do to get a receiver ap-
pointed was to show in the court that
the company was indebted to the said
claimant. This story was copied in
the eastern papers and was clipped
and returned to a Guthrie lawyer by
railroad security broker who was
arranging to take some Oklahoma Sc
curities with the statement that if
that was the law that he could mot
handle Oklahoma securities.
A copy of the law was sent which
showed the reverse of the newspaper
reports and the capitalist telegraph

was in error. The Oklahoma law is

VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND
REVERTS TO RAILROAD

Spokane, Wash, Mar 20.-Ten mil
lion dollars is the estimated value of
the tract, including 100000 acres Of
choice timber and agricultural lands
in the Wallace district in northern
Idaho, which has just reverted to the
Northern Pacific Railway company, aC-
cording to a decision by the commits
sioners of the general land Office re-
ceived in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene,
Idaho This tract has been in con-
troversy eight years. 1t was classed
as mineral land by the commission in
1891, when the railroad company filed
protest with the department against
this classification. The first hearing
was given in 1902, when the Northern
Pacific gained a victory, but this was
afterward set aside and new hear
ing granted after much delay in 1905
since which some of the ablest land
lawyers have battled in the courts
The company gained the decision fol
lowing a motion to review the case
The tract is south and east of the city
of Wallace and covers 20 townships
A cursory reading of the decision
shows the company proved that the
land is adapted to forestry and agri-
culture and was wrongly classified as
mineral land.

morning in the trial of Col Duncan
Cooper and his son, Robin Cooper,
charged with the murder of former
Senator e. w. Carmack.
The jury yesterday acquitted John

the defense moved to set aside the
verdict, because of the verdict of dis

the court to declare it mistrial, and
Judge Hart will listen to arguments
on the motion later.
The defendants bonds We're fixed at
twenty-five thousand dollars each. The
verdict, coming as it did upon the
heels Of Forman Burks declaration
yesterday that, I'VE are hoplessly tied

ed. has been one of the most remark
able murder cases in the history of the
south, not only because of the promin-
ence of the principals in the tragedy
but because of the reasons that led to
the killing.
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, former
officer in the Confederate army under
Forrest and a man very prominent in
democratic state politics once lived
at Columbia, Tenn In that town also
resided Edward Wark Carmack, a
young lawyer who also did some news
paper work Cooper bought the Nash
vile American and induced Carmack
to come to Nashville as its editor.
Whether the men ever were in thor
ough accord, is a disputed point Car
mack's friends say not Colonel Coop
er swore on the stand that they We're
close friends until Governor Taylor
opposed Carmack for reelection in
the senate This fight was long and
bitter A feature of it was a series
of Joint debates, and Carmack lost.
Cooper supported Taylor, but Robin,
the boy who killed the senator, sup
ported the latter.
Malcolm r. Patterson was governor
of the state at the time of the Car
mack-Taylor fight. and he announced
his candidacy for reelection, Carmack
! Just beaten for the senate, was urged
into the race for governor against
Patterson. This was last June and
the fight between the men for the
democratic nomination was the most
spectacular ever seen in Tennessee.
Again, joint debates we're arranged
and again the feeling between the fec
tions grew very bitter. In these de-
bates, Cooper charged that Carmack
assailed the colonel's good name.
Cooper was an ardent Patterson man
the governor on the stand described
him as my closest personal and po-
litical adviser" Again. Carmack lost.
and a month before the election, be-
came editor of the Nashville Tennes-
sean. He had made the race on the
prohibition platform. and while he did
not get the nomination. he did secure
enough representatives to assure the
passage of the so-called state wide
liquor bill
In the meantime Governor Patterson
and former Governor Cox, once dead
4 ly enemies. were reconciled. The
Tennessean charged that Colonel
Cooper brought this reconciliation
about, and referred to it in a humor-
Gus and sarcastic vein in its editorial
columns. Carmack also intimated
that to save Governor Patterson. the
democratic leaders were preparing to
trade Bryan for the governorship. Col
onel Cooper was chatting under the
comment and becoming more incens.

8, the day before the killing the fol
