In line with this, l want to close

in my pocket-book for five or six years.
II | remember correctly it is the
words OF Secretary Wilson. "a
scholar in agriculture and man OF
distinction, recently wrote: Above all
don't Imagine farmer Is any different
from any other kind OF citizen.
Farming is profession, requiring
more shrewdncss than law, more
technical training than medicine,
more uprightnesS than theology more
brains and resourcefulness than
pedagogy. 1t is its own reward. God
made farmers. The other professions
are parasites.

A FARM BARGAIN

Inc deal closed late last week in
which G. A. Miller became sole owner
OF the j. j. Duncan place, has created
much comment among our people.
rms fartn OF l6O acres is one of the
best improved in this section of the
valley and is easily worth, according
TO the way other land has bee n selling.
Sl5O per acre. 1t was purchased by
MIR, Miller at $40, his three houses In
town being taken in on the deal at
s4ooO. That Mr.. Duncan made a mis-.
take in selling and that Mr.. Miller is
very fortunate, seems To be the gcncr-
al opinion.
Chris" Miller, the purchaser, has
been identified with Ordway'S business
men several years, having until recent
ly been iD the transfer business. lie
moved back tu Indiana two years ago
with the intention Of staying. In less
than a year he was with us again,
proving his faith in and love for sunny
Colorado and the town Of Ordway.
lie Will move at once To the farm to
commence the spring work The
Indiana farm was disposed Of prior to
the recent deal.
Mr.. Duncan feels that he will find
life more to his liking in the old town
near where he was born and raised
Potomac. Illinois, and will move
there Immediately after the sale
which is advertised for March 9th.
His old-homc place is rented and Mr..
Duncan's plans are to live in town
and put in share Of his time improv-
ing his farm property.

time during the college course to
educational subjects shall receive a
teachers certificate which shall be
good for five years, and that after
twenty.four months OF successful
teaching this certificate may be ex-
changed for a life certificate.

c,urse of two years duration. IL Is

THE DEATH OF SENATOR NC
LAUREN.

Senator Anselm Joseph McLaurin of
Mississippi is dead at the age Of sixty
one years, Until a few DAYS ago it
was not realized that the Senator was
in a grave condition. He had been a
victim Of ptomaine poisoning, but was
seemingly we'll on the road TO recovery
when heart failure suddenly carried
him away.
The death of Sena tor McLaurin re-
calls that in recent years the grim
reaper has gathered from among the
elder statesmen, those who by reason
of years and general physical condi-
ton would be least expected to receive
his call The sturdy fathers of the
Senate, the men approaching their
fourscore of years, appear in their seats
regularly, and the remark is constant
" being made that these veterans
show no evidence of failing But
younger men. in the prime of youth
and middle age, men like Bryan of
Florida. and johnson Of North Dakota,
and Latimer of South Carolina, have
been taken when their deaths were
least to be expected. Senator Allison,
ripe I'm years and service. died a Sen
ator; but the veteran Teller retired
and Money has but little more than a
year of service before he will leave the
seat he has held so long, his going be-
| ing entirely voluntary.
Senator McLaurin had been in active
politics from the time he was twenty.
three years old; and before that he
had been n soldier in the Confederate
/ army. He served a short time in the
Senate in 1894 and 1898, by appoint
ment, and then was governor of Mis-
sissippi four years. coming from the
executive chair 10 the Senate At the
time Of his death ne had more thar
half of his term before him.
Senator NIcLaurin was popular in
the Senate and enjoyed the confdenc,
of his constituents. He had risen {,
service on some of the most important
committees. and his work was that O

COLONEL GABE CONRAD THE
MAN WHO DID II.

Zelayan forces routed by insurgents
in the fight at Rama; two generals
and 1900 men surrender to Estrada;
hundreds killed or wounded on the
field-so runs the tenor of the dis
patches from Nicaragua. There is re-
joicing among the enemies Of Zelsya,
the tyraut and oppressor. General
Estrada is acclaimed as having won a
complete victory. The revolution
seems 90 be complete and Nicaragua on
the eve Of new regime.
But this IL not all. Reading deeper
into the dispatches we perceive what
We had an along suspected, that Amer
leans were at the bottom of this sur
prisinC victory. and that it was the
trusty rifle welded by American hands
that transacted the business. Col. Gabe
Conrad in reality did it. 1t was not
Estrada. but Colonel Gabe. Under his
command Colonel Gabe had certain
American sharpshooters, whose boy
hood training familiarized them with
the family shotgun and with dads old
squirrel rifle. They, under the direc
tion of Colonel Gabe, caused havoc
among officers and the deaths OF
many"
Further 1t appears that the news OF
the prominence of Gabe Conrad in this
interesting transaction in arms down
at Rama is of extraordinary interest
in New Orleans and down Orleans way
because Gabe is a Louisiana man from
New Iberia We are not sure that his
forebears participated in that memor.
able function in which Gen. Andy
jackson walloped the British veterans
who had fought against Napoleon out
of their boots, but we suspect that the
family tree will disclose as much il
diligently searched.
Anyhow, we're proud of Gabe Con
rad. We have great confidence ne vii
be in at the finish. 1t might be added
if it had not been Colonel Gabe, Secre
tary Knox might have been put in q
most embarrassing position and nov
been laboring under the same cloud al
the man who backs the wrong horse.
But Gabe saved the day.
