Irl R. Hicks had the right brand
of weather on tap last Saturday,
and a very comfortable audience
greeted him when he was introduced
by Mr.. Barker as Rev. Ira L. Hicks
an introduction which Mr.. Hicks
promptly corrected. adding that he
was getting used to that mistaken
title. Mr.. Hicks had subject some
what dry to present to a Fourth of
July crowd, but we have yet to hear
of dissatisfaction on the part of
those who heard him through. So
many of our readers heard the lee
ture that it will be sufficient to say
that the talk was about the mechan-
les and dynamics of the planetary
systems. and demonstrated that Mr..
Hicks is a reverent and profound
student, whether he is always right
in his conclusions as to natural phe-
nomena or not. Most Of his auditors
who have had little scientific training
will be content to accept the conclu-
sions of the speaker as reasonable
and admit at least that in the realm
of astronomy Hicks is no charlatan
or pretender even though his conclu-
sions may be faulty. Goods
Weather MILL" according to Hicks,
does not grind its grist without the
guiding hand of an omnipotent Mil
Ter, and the heavens declare his
glory to those who study the work
ings Of His wonderful planetary ma
chinery. Few Of us will forget the
benevolent and profoundly reverent
benediction with which the weather
man closed his lecture. In response
to his invitation for questions along
the line of his talk, Mr.. Hicks
brought out the fact that the sun
makes its revolutions once in every
% hours and a fraction over; that
the probable cause of earthquakes is
weakness or susceptibility to planet
airy disturbances on the part of GER
tain sections of our planet. under
certain fixed conditions, Mr.. Hicks

Mr.. Bennett of Pipestone made a
three-minute talk, that being all the
time at his command before the de-
parture of the bus for his train, and
Pipestone had an excellent adver-
tiser for it's strong points and future
destiny. One point that made a hit
with the audience, was Mr.. Benefits
suggestion that the immense water
power possibilities of the Minnesota
should result in the establishment of
trolley lines in this vicinity and the
speaker hoped that in the near flu
ture it might be possible to travel
directly between Pipestone and Red
wood Falls, instead Of having to
spoil two days to make the trip, as
at present. The sentiment was ap-
plauded.

calling attention to the fact that he
had predicted seismic disturbance
es July 1st and the Messina earth
quake had verified his prediction.
Asked what produced the light of
the sun, Mr.. Hicks said that the
question was an interesting one and
then stated his views on that ques-
ton, which do not seem unreason-
able. The Hicks theory appears to
be that the spheres whirl through
space with a velocity so tremendous
that every object upon them would
be brushed off like flies were it not
that in case of such planets as our
own, the atmosphere for certain
miles surrounding whirls in unison
with the planets. This velocity gen.
crates friction, and in Mr.. Hicks
opinion, the friction in the form of
electric energy generated by the
numberIess dynamos of the planets
is gathered by the sun as an immense
storage receiver and constitutes the
vaporous envelope Of inconceivable
heat which astronomers haye agreed
exists around the sun and constitutes
it's heat and power. Thus the sun is
perpetually renewed by the motions
Of the planets surrounding it. This

REV. GEO. L. BARKER, Platform Supt.

Friday afternoon at Lakeview
park the Pv Lands won from the
Winthrop team by a margin of three
scores. The first four innings were
blank, but in the fifth inning the
Lands got started. Francois, the
first man up, made connections and
Strengthened it out for two sacks,
took third on a past ball and scored
the first run for the Lands on an
overthrow to third. Gagnon singled
stole second and took third on an
over throw to second, and scored
on Smiths hit over second base.
In the seventh inning Francois hit
to shortstop and took second on an
overthrow to first. Thompson got
on for ride and drove one over
center, making two sacks and scor-
ing Francois. Foss singled, stole
second and string of errors scored
Thompson and t'OSs.
Two bits and two errors in the
eighth inning scored two runs for

NEW TURN IN MURDER CASE.
Smith Said to Have Sprung New Story
Generating the Women.

New developments in the Ledbeter
case are reported almost every day,
and it is now predicted that the ex-
animation the coming week will
place an altogether different aspect
on the case from that which infu-
enced the coroner's jury in making
their verdict. The brutal villain
Smith is said to be ready to tell an
entirely different story from that
given by him at the time of his ar
rest. and few who have followed
events now believe that Mrs. Led
better was the murderer of her hus-
band, even though she may have
had guilty knowledge of it. The
last theory advanced is that Smith
had male confederate, a hired
man employed by the former owner
Of the Ledbeter place, McTighe,
who is known to have disappeared
about the time of the Ledbeter dis
appearance. The mans name was
Garner and officers were sent into
Canada after him the first of this
week. He was arrested at Mandan,
N. D., and his testimony will doubt
less help to untangle the lies told by
Smith, whose looks as we'll as his
story proclaim him worse than

WINS HIS WAY.
young Man of This City Honored in
Germany.

The many friends of Prof. L. L.
Dantzler, a son Of the Rev. D. D.
Dantzler of this city, will be delight
ed to know of his success in his far
away home in Germany in the line
of his chosen profession.
A letter from Prof. Dantzler to his
father tells of his election to an as
sistant professorship in the Univer-
sity of Leipsig, Germany. Mr.. Dan
tzler spent two years in the Univer-
sity as student several years ago,
after which he returned here and
filled for two years the chair of
French and German in the South
Carolina Military Academy. A year
ago he returned to Leipsig and COM
pleted hs course and has now been
elected a member of its faculty.
Mr.. Dantzler is a young man Of
splendid attainments, of sterling
character and is well qualified for
the work to which he has been called
in this prominent German Univer-
sity, and his friends on this side of
the water will watch his career as an
educator with great interest. We do
not think he will be allowed to re-
main over in Germany Indefinitely,
as We have use for such men as Prof.
Dantzler at home, and he will soon
be called to. post in some college
in mis- native land. We have only
loaned him to Germany.

shine, a crowd gathered at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Johnnie Gleaton Of
the Hopewell Section to celebrate
the birthday of his mother, Mrs.
Martha Gleaton, who has just pass

After dinner the little barefoot
fellows had great pleasure chasing
about over the beautiful yard, which
had been so we'll prepared by the
young ladies of the home. AS usual
the young men and ladies were each
we'll entertained by the other.
Dear old mother was seated in an
old fashioned chair in the porch
where she could partake of all the
enjoyments, but to make it more en-
joyable for her she accepted her pipe
as her best friend.
Early in the afternoon all left for
home rejoicing, thinning of the hap

BANKER DENIED PARDON
Governor Stubs Expresses Himself
Plainly in Ellinwood Case.

Edward Bochemohle, the Ellinwood
banker who was sent to the penitcn-
tiary about one year ago for being con-
nected as an official with the failure of
the Ellinwood bank, will not be par
doned by Governor Stubs. This was
decided last evening when the governor
gave out the following answer to Judge
D. A. Banta of Great Bend who was in
conference with him in reference to the
parole of Bochemohle:
MY sympathies are not with the
banker who robs other people Of their
money. I sympathize with their wives
and children, but I also sympathize
with the depositors aud others who lose
through their specufations. We are en-
tirely too lenient with embezzling
bankers in this country. A poor man
may steal twenty-five or fifty dollars
and go to the penitentiary for ten or
fifteen years. They frequently do and
as a rule they stay there until their
terms are served out. A banker may

rob people of hundreds and thousands
Of dollars and as rule he gets term
Of only few years in the penitentiary.
By the time he is in a year he wants a
pardon can't agree to show leniency
in such cases.
II believe it is the duty of the state
and the federal government to abso-
in banks. This can never be done sd
long as crooked bankers are allowed to
serve year or so in the penitentiary,
then go free. The Kansas guaranty
law is crude and in many minor re-
spects it is imperfect. But it is a sten
in the right direction It is founded on
the right kind of principles. With a

ment for bank wreckers the depositors,
