JOE LETTERS BUMPS
CANE FROM JOHNSON
Employe Of Indian Bureau
Tells Friends of Fight on
Pullman Car.

VINO licked Joe Letter?
That is the question which has been
asked repeatedly for the past week
since the former uncrOwned aing of
the wheat pit went back to his berth
on a Pullman as it was leaving Wash
ington, with his face cut and his head
sore. Letter has declared he will beat
into a pulp the man who really did
thrash him in that sleeping car and
several men who first claimed the honor
are now sidestepping with great agility.
The real truth of the matter is. and
he does not deny it, the Job was done
by w. z. Johnson. who has charge of
the violation of liquor selling laws on
Indian reservations. Mr.. Johnson Is on
his way to California right now to
investigate some charges which have
been filed regarding the sale of liquor
on Indian reservations there. But he
told the story Of the fight to friends in
the Indian Bureau before he left.
Mr.. Johnson was on his way to New
York last Wednesday evening. He had
gone to his berth and had partly un-
dressed when he thought ne would go
to the smoking room to smoke and cool
off before retiring.
While in the smoking room, he heard
an alteration on the platform. Look
ing out, he saw a man fighting with
the conductor. The latter retreated into
the car and into the smoking room
where JoE ason was sitting. The con-
duetor was getting the worst of it when
Johnson intarfered and asked his as
sailant to leave him alone
what is this to you, you night
gowned -?' demanded the man. "Tu
just lick you. too"
With these words he left the con-
ductor and turned on johnson who, with
a few well-directed blows, sent him to
the mat. After the man had recovered
from the knockout blow. it wss learned
that his name was Joe Letter.

Death of Major Handiey.

Marion Standard
The death OF Major w. A. yHandley
which occurred at his home in Roam
AXE last week removes from the walks
of life one of the States most hon
ored and successful citizens.
The writer had known Major Hand
ley since our early boyhood. In fact
he has stood our friend through all
these years. When mere youth he
gave us our first dollar to encourage
us in the establishing of little news
paper, and words of advice that have
followed us unto this day. 1t was he,
too, who advised us to lay down the
rule and stick in the printing Office
and seek college education. And
from 1889 until summoned to his re-
ward this great and good man had not
only been a constant leader OF the
words of advice and encouragement in
our every effort, and ofttimes his good
judgment ard timely warning came as
beacon light and checked US in our
impulstveness.
The biography of Major Handley
would prove of untold value to the
young man of today, His good tudg-
ness foresight, pure morals. religious
scruples. unstinted liberality, patriot
ism and love for his. people were the
efforts and energy he achieved success,
and his imprint will live forever in
the States history. While not seek
er after political honols, he represent
Congress in 1852 he represented his
people in both branches of the State
Legislature. and did able service as
member OF that body which framed our
present State Constitution. Some of
the best laws on our statute books are
due to his fertile brain, and many I'M
wise measures were stayed by his OPP
position.
AS a developer and promoter he did
invaluable service for his county and
State. He was among the first to see
the great possibilities of the mineral
district. He foresaw the result of the
development OF some of our agricul-
tural and timber sections, and while
he reaped his reward in a financial
way the State has been made the rich
er thereby. Some of the leading rail-
roads of the State were pl omoted by
him and capital interested to build
them. And while success has crown
ed his life-work in commercial way.
Major Handley was a friend of the
church and the school, and we doubt
II any man in the State contributed
more literally to them, while his gen
eral charity knew no bounds.
We know of no more fitting finale
to our feeble reference tC the death
of this noble man than to say
REST from bitter thoughts and things.
How many poor ones blessing went

Troy Herald.
1t Is SAID that there has not been a
complaint before the Railroad Commits
sion in three months, things are get
ting to their normal condition. Be-
fore our present Governor began his
war on the railroads, II was seldom
that there was complaint to the
Railroad Commission. but as soon as
Mr. Conner began his campaign against
the railroads by arousing tho preju-
diees Of the people against the corpo-
rations. nearly everybody vas up in
arms against their BEST friends. and
to such an extent did he infiarne their
minds that some people wore ready to
do violence to the roads to the extent
OF putting them out of business II pos
sibfe.
There was the best of feeling be-
tween the roads and their patrons. no
one had thought. that the roads were
treating the masses unfairly until Mr..
Conner made his campaign for Presi-
dent OF the RAILROAD commission. and
by appealing to the lower instincts OF
man he succeeded In inhaming the
minds Of the common masses slmost
to the point where they would. at his
command, have torn UP the roads.
But We are glad of the return OF an
era of common sense and justice. The
people may make mistakes, but thsy
are ever ready to correct their errors.
But while the people will always de-
mand fair treatment at tho hands OF ALI
public servants, they are also as ready
to accord right and Justice TO them.

THE P0i1ARISTs.

So much has been said and written
about Commander Peary and his po-
larlc efrorts-if that is a correct ex-
pression-and Walter Wellman has
tried to make himself SO prominent on
the subject. that most people don't
seem to remember that those two are
not the only pebbles on the beach, and
not the only men who are ambitious to
get within speaking distance of the
much-sought but elusive North Pole.
There il another American in the
race. who has for some time been
though no one knows just where. He
Is F. A. Cook. who may be descend
ant of the famous Captain Cook, for
anything we know. One newspaper
report tells us that at Is believed"
that he is now on the extreme North
coast of Greenland on his return trip,
and that he is waiting for somebody
to come and fetch him. Whether or
not he reached the pole is of course
mere matter of conjecture. 1t is not
even known that he is alive. or that he
has started back home or that he is
lodged on the Greenland coast. 1t is
merely believed that he Is there. and
some of his friends affect feeling of
confidence that he really found what
he went for. and will be able to es-
tablish his claim when he gets back.
AS for Pcary. that is another prob
lematic situation. Nobody knows where
he is, and anything about him is strict
ly guesswork. There are optimists
who claim to feel sure that he has
found the pole and Is on his way back.
and Is now somewhere In the great ice
regions of the far North. but of course
II is all supposition. He may have
reached the pole and is now awaiting
a proper time to start back. He may
