REV. GILMAN RESIGNS.
Will Go to New Charge-Departure
Matter of Much Regret.

Rev. S. C. Gilman has rendered his
resignation as the missionary for the
Presbyterian church in the Ely dis
trict and will leave on Thursday next
to take charge of the La Noble dis
trict, where the Presbyterians have
recently erected a $4,000 structure.
Mr.. Gilman will preach his last SER
mon in East Ely on Sunday evening
and at McGill on Wednesday even
ing, in the new Townsite chapel, in
the upper village.
His departure from the district
will be a matter of much regret to
a great many friends he has made
since he came to East Ely and set
about organizing a Presbyterian con-
gregation for the district. His eff
forts in this direction were very sue
cessful, eliminating recently in the
erection and dedication of a hand
some little chapel in East Ely.
Aside from his cnurcn work, Mr..
Gilman cultivated friendships among
the railroad boys and others of East
Ely which will be long remembered
and among all classes lent his best
efforts at all times to cheer the way
and make better the going. More
than which cannot be said in praise
of the individual.

court to the district court in the
case of G. A. Eddy against White
i inc County. The action is brought
upon assigned claims to C. A. Eddy
for coroner's juror fees in connection
with an inquest into the death OF
James Watson, who died March "A.
The claims, amounting to $25, to-
gether with costs, including $50 at
torney's fees, was entered as judg-
men in the justice court on Novem-
Der 23, from which appeal is taken.
The action is brought for the pur-
pose of testing the constitutionallty
and the liability of the county fol-
coroner's jury fees. The law fixing
coroner's jury fees was passed by
the last legislature. The action is
one of great interest throughout the
state, as the district attorneys OF
different counties are divided in
opinion as to the obligations OF the
county. If the county is required
to pay coroner's jury fees they will
amount to several hundred dollars
per mum.

SWEET SINGER TdRALLED.
Attracted Much Attention Last Night
and Some Police Activity.

1t sounded like a woman's voice,
sweet, sympathetic and tender, as it
swept out into the night through the
swinging doors of the Oaks. Men
passing, stopped, and attracted by
the strains of music, entered. Loung-
ers shook off the cold and stepped in
side. A deputy sheriff, knowing
that an ordinance had been passed
prohibiting women from singing in
the saloons, pushed back the swing
ing doors with an air of authority,
and then stopped short.
Through the open doors for the
moment came a wisp of the song:
Where Is My Wandering Boy To-
night?" In the Little Gem, off the
saloon, tender-hearted Frank Counts,
the chef, stood in the open door,
with a turning iron in his hand and
a tear in his eye; and behind him
was a crowd of his patrons who had
left their tables to get a peep at the
sweet singing girl. Plates were get
ting hot on the range and getting
cold on the tables. The saloon was
crowded, and up on the platform,
to the accompaniment of the piano,
a violin and a French horn, was, not
a girl, o a woman, but a lad of
twenty or SO, speeding the music to
attentive ears.
The Messenger kid" they called
him, and in his own parlance he had
just blown" from Salt Lake. Once
he was the leader of the Messenger
Boys quartette, and this they say
was the source of some of the great
est vocal music ever heard outside
of the great tabernacle. But the
quartette went to pieces after the
fashion of the original Florodora
sextette, one at a time, the ladies
loved them SO, with positions re-
versed.
But the kid, who has run the
gamut from the top to the cellar,
was a hit in the Oaks, and the house
came down at the conclusion of the
song, which was finished amid vari-
GUS emotions. Many FASTENED to the
bar to choke 'em down, and others
passed out to hide them. An old
gentleman dining in the Little Gem,
wiped his eyes, and slipped two dol
dars to Frank Counts.

bin to change the mode of inhieting the

bia from hanging to elecuocution and

Indeed, an opportunity is now pre-

Secretary OF the Interior Ballinger has
been saying some very plain things
about the Roosevelt Administration dur
ing his present trip in the West The
Secretary left some time ago to visit
sections where there is concern about
the administration of various laws
through the Interior Department The
Reclamation Service especially has been
under the probe since Mr.. Ballinser
came into office, and some weeks age
the Department reversed a very i'm
pcrtant policy Of tie Garfield regime
with reference TO irrigation works. The
reversal greatly tncensed people who
hold lands which are to 1e irrigated,
because il changed their status and add
cd much to the difficulties or gettirg
projects carried out early.
Secretary Garfield had ruled that
where there was not available cash
TO complete irrigation works the set
tiers who were waiting for water might
furnish money and labor, complete the
works, and have compensation allowed
to them in the way OF reduced water
rentals. Mr. BalliDger, on the advice
OF AttOruey-Gen Wickersham. re-
veTsed this and stopped the proceeding.

When cooperation was estOpped by Bal
finger a huge outcry was raised AMI
Mr. Baliinger went cut to see the set
tiers and explain his position 10 them
He gave them the 'fwcrd with the bark

that not ? half dozen reputable and
self-respecting lawyers could be found
in the country who would say that the
Garfield plan was within the law
The people in the Irrigation country
are much worried about the outlook
for more radical Innovations They fear
that the federal irrigation program is
not going to be pressed with so much
viSor under the new Administration
More than this, there has been sug-
gestion that big private irrigation specu-
latiOns are going TO be more profitable
in future, and that they win not dnd
it so difficult as in the past TO get AZ

their plans. This doesn't look good 10

A YALE MAN WHO BECAME A
REMARKABLE PIONEER.

How young the country is has been
illustrated in a most interesting man
uer by the career Of Chester Dutton,
Who, at the time of his death last
week. was prominently known as
Yale's oldest graduate.
When Dutton left the Yale Law
School in 1888. at the age Of q, he de
cided to follow Daniel Boone's example
and 90 West. He settled down in the
Kansas wilderness. We are told that
MS home on the banks of the Repub-
lican river was chosen largely becHuse
Of the ease with which it could be de
Tended from the attacks of the IN
dians." It seems that the spot "had
been the camping ground Of the abo-
rhymes; so it became that Of the emf
grants and was a popular rendezvous
when danger from the Indians was
threatened in the raids on the solomon
and Republican valleys in 1868 and
1869"
AS a matter of fact, tins ale pl-
oneer. as he may be csiled, settled
down in Kansas, while that part of the
country, with the exception of Mis-
souri,. Louisiana. and Arkansas. was
legally known as the indian country
His settlement on the Republican river
took place two years before the first
emigrant train for California crossed
Kansas, and twelve years before plans
were MADE for the establishment OF
I eavenworth, the firse cisy, or Topeka,
now the capital Indeed, that Yale
man might have writer from his own
observation a history OF Kansas from
its earliest settlement by American
citizens down to the present day.
