THE MOUTHS" sLUsH ADMITS

On Saturday last, in It's alleged
Washington dispatches. the Smoot
"Mouth' - stated that an investiga-
tion of certain "Tribune charges -
against L. S. Attorney Booth had been
made. and this paper proved guilty Of
falsehood. and had come under the
scurrilous deuunciation of the Depart.
meut of Justice. We promptly chal
lenged the report. denying on Sunday
morning any such investigs tion and
conclusion. On Monday we had from
our Washington correspondent a con-
firmatiou of our denial. He applied at
the Department of Justice for the facts,
and was told as from the Attorney.
General. that nothing of the kind had
taken place, there was nothing on the
files of the department showing any
thing of the kind; this said at tine of
flee Of the AttorucyGeneral by sub.
ordinate speaking for him, and after a
search of the files.
This was a plain, ightforward,
complete squecher on the Mouth 50

The Mouth" continues to harp upon
the courts and their Iet-alone attitude
toward those who violate the laws
against polygsmy and unlawful cohabl-
tation. We stated what tho facts
are as TO this on Monday morn
ing. These facts are known 70
all. There is no cvading them.
Those who are on the wrong side of the
facts simply have to lie their way
through We pointed out the useless
ness of this, as the facts cannot be so
disposed of. And, as We said. the facts
being as they are. why lie about them?
The "Mouth'' brought up again the
report we had on a letter from the first
presidency of the church at a meeting
last year in Syracuse We were con
vinccd at the time that the report was
an entirely truthful one. We are con
WINGED now of the same thing, all the
more SO by conversation recently had

report. Besides, we used every effort
to throw all possible light on the case,
We printed what was claimed to be the
official letter, Just as received from
inside Mormon sources, and pointed out
where the elisiou had evidently been
made. We nre fully satisfied that our
report of that Syracuse meeting was
absolutely correct. And it was not
alone from Syracuse that we got that
report. Precisely the same thing came
from Spanish Fork
Tt will do the "Mouth" no good
whatever to rake up those old ISLANDERS
against The Tribune. We print the
truth, and nothing but the truth, SO
far as we know or can get it And we
stand by our guns every time, AID
all the time.

MAYOR OF DELPHos DIES.
Lockjaw as Result of Smashed
Thumb Caused Death.


Delphos, Kan, July 27-John R.
Adams, mayor of Delphos, died last
night at II o'clock. Mr.. Adams
death was caused by lockjaw, re-
sulting from an injury to one of his
thumbs about one week ago.
Delphos is putting in waterworks
and light systems and Mayor Adams
had been very active in looking af-
ter the work of installing the plants.
While at the city well, he took hold
with characteristic energy, and tried
to help start a team which had
stalled with a load of sand. His
thumb was caught between the wheel
and wagon bed and severely injured.
Friday evening, symptoms of lock-
jaw appeared and he grew rapidly
worse until his death followed. Mr..
Adams was one of the leading mer-
chants of Delphos; was prominent in
lodge work, and, for several years
had served as a member of the board
Of education. Public spirited in an
unusual degree, he worked faithfully
for the welfare of the community.
devoting more time for several
months, to public service than to his
own business interests which were
large.
Mr.. Adams has been a resident of
Delphos about nine years and was
forty-seven years Of age. He leaves
a wife and five sons. His death has
occasioned genuine sorrow among all
classes in the community.

1t Profitable. Crop.

Bird City. Kan. July 27.-The highest
point in altitude in northwest Kansas is
in the vicinity of Bird City, Cheyenne
county Many farmers in this section
are experimenting in raising alfalfa.
Some time ago while Congressman
Reeder was visiting in Bird City he
suggested the idea of an experimental
test.
He made a generous financial contri-
button, the government furnished the
seed. In charge of c. W. Trickett, Of
Bird City. he superintendent the SOW
ing of five acres in alfalfa adjoining
the town. The rows are So inches apart
The seed was sown July 10, and it has
SO far come up nicely. This ground
has been leased for a period of five
years, and if the experiment proves
farmers who live on the high prairie
will go into the industry of raising al
falfa.
Albert Weaver, who is at the head
of the Level-Land Realty Co., with
headquarters in Bird City. is also ex-
perimenting on raising alfalfa on the
high prairie with good success, as is

while others are bathing in the cool
waters of the classic river. Quite a
number are here from Salina, Coffey-
Vile Peabody, Ell Dorado and other
places in the state. This is the first
Chautauqua held in this place. Tho
people of Chase county took hold of
the matter and raised the sum Of $500,
and the crowds that gather in Bates's
park are simply astounding.
Judge Wallace of Kansas City de-
HVered a fine address Saturday, and
Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee,
known as FfddIing Bob, will be here on
Wednesday. Amusement is going on
both day and night. But it is the fish
ing that seems to catch the fancy CT
those that love the solitude of a Sc
questered river. On Saturday while
Judge Wallace was speaking, a little
coIored boy caught a channel catfish
that weighed 6114 pounds. and on next
Wednesday when Bob Taylor speaks

the owner of the park, is giving free

tents in his yard for the accommoda-
ton of all who attend the Chautauqua.
The people are proud of Bates and his
park and the people of Chase county
are proud of many things. Fine cattle,
fine horses fine hogs, big alfalfa fields,
big corn fields, big stone quarries.
Some good men, lots of good women,
and it does seem that all the beautiful
girls in the state live in Cottonwood

encounter in Colorado.
Reports received here today lndl-
cate that both Hartman and Hill
have representatives in this state
working toward the purchase of the

Hill made the first move. and it
was more to check him than from any
real desire to purchase the property
that Hartman took a hand in the con-
test. so it is stated.
Meanwhile, the promoters of the
Denver, Laramie & Northwestern are
eagerly watching the combatants-ap-
parently ready to sell to the highest
bidder This is also given as an eX-

recent charges were filed against two
