here that James Baker, who Z
died from wounds inflicted by &
Clyde Thompson, after he had :
cut ThompsOns throat, was II .
detective i'm the employ of .
eattlemen of EllSo county, and {
that the quarrel in which both :
men lost their lives was the re- .
suit of Thompson accusing .
Baker Of being detective .
and of attempting TO implicatc .
him i'm cattle stealing affair. .
Thompson was quite well
known in the county as II .

JOHN LANEY
CALLED AWAY

Word was received in Ekalaka
last Friday morning that Mar
guerite the second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Laney had
died in Spokane, Wash. of scarlet
fever. Mr.. Laney received word
Thursday that his daughter was
very i'll and at once left for her
bedside but before leaving Baker
he had received the telegram
announcing her death.
Marguerite M. Laney was born
July 20, 1892 in the state of
Missouri. When three years old
her parents moved to Miles City
where they lived for two years
later coming here where Mr..
Laney bought out the ranch of
:. K. Parkhurst, about six miles
mo 'th of town. The family lived
sshc e for nearly eight years and
" IN again moved to Miles City
i mere Marguerite attended the
q gh school. Last fall Mrs.
Laney and children moved to
Spokane where they went for the
benefit of Mrs. Laney's and Mar
guerite's health, but their trip
there seemed to be Of no benefit
to Marguerite who had been suf-
fering considerably. No word
has been received here concern
ing the funeral but it is thought
that it was held in Spokane this
week. The entire family has the
sympathy Of their many friends
here in their hour of bereave-
ment.
Later A telegram was re
ceived here Wednesday stating
that the entire family had been
taken down with scarlet fever
and were now under quarantine.
This news will be received here
with regret by all who know
them and it is hoped that we may
hear Of their complete recovery
before long.

FREE DANCE A
GRAND SUCCESS

What was pronounced as the
best dance and social event of the
season was held at the l. 0. O.
F. hall in Ekalaka last Friday
evening, March 26th, under the
auspices of the members of the
Ekalaka Band, the object being
to raise funds for the purchasing
Of instruments for the band
which has recently been organ
lied in our little town and judg-
ing from the amount Of money
raised the people of Ekalaka and
vicinity are heartily in sympathy
with the enterprise. Dancing
commenced about 8 P. M. music
being furnished by the Fathers
Dance Orchestra of Harding, S.
D. and from remarks heard by
the writer the dancers were
highly pleased with it and if they
ever have the opportunity Of
playing in our little city again
they will surely meet with a very
cordial reception.
About II o'clock Artie Dague
otherwise known as the big
Kid") posted himself on the auc-
ton block for the purpose of SELL
ing the baskets of the good
things of the culinary art that
had been so generously and liber-
ally donated by the ladies of the
little city and surrounding COM
inunity and Judging from the
prices received for the baskets,
the big Kid" certainly proved
himself competent auctioneer
as the sale price averaged some
thing like $3.50 per basket max
ing a total OF SZZ5. OO.
Under the efficient manage
ment of c.. X. Putnam, A. B.
johnson and Steve Brewer, floor
committee, everything passed off
smoothly and about 4 A. NJ. the
Home Sweet Home waltz brought
the evenings entertainment to q
close. Everybody went home
convinced it was ''the" event OF
the season and a grand success
socially as we'll as financially.
The band boys wish to assure
the ladies they appreciate the lib
eral donations made by them ir
the way of eatables and express
their thanks to the community
in general for their liberal pat
ronage and good fellowship.

sIAIPLIFIED SPELLING.

sinaplified spelling. which Is the
movement for more rational system
Of English photography, has received q
strong impetus from the election Of
Prof. Walter w. Skeat, the eminent
English etymologist, as President. Prof
Skeat 10 recognized all over the world
as the very highest authority on Eng
lsh etymology and language. and his
position at the head Of the Society gives
1t great weight and influence. His
scholarship and literary standing make
a sufficient answer to the constant
charge OF the imperfectiy educated op-
ponents Of spelling reform that It has
no scholastic basis. Prof. Skeat knows
more about the history Of the language
than all Of them put together. He an
nounces as his program to make haste
slowly and to deal with but few changes
at time, so as to accustom the public
gradually to the more rational spelling.
This is sound policy. since spelling re-
form has heretofore been defeated by
tbs very number OF reformers, and the
desire OF each to have his own particu-
lar change made at once without regard
to the others.

WIDOWS, PENSIONS.

Dec. 10. 1903. Senator McCumber in
troduoed the following bill which was
read twice and referred to the Com
mittee on Pensions. At the meeting
Of tho Senate Pension Committee on
Jan. 25 the bill was unanimously ap-
proved and ordered to be reported to
the Senate There is no doubt that
the Senate will promptly pass 1t at
this session. but it is feared that the
House may be restrained by the condi-
ton Of this Treasury from passing 1t
at this session:
THAT section Of an act, entitled
An aot to increase the pension Of wild
ows, minor children, etc., of deceased
soldiers and sailors of the late civil
war, the war with Mexico, the various
Indian wars. etc., and to grant PEN
sion to certain widows Of the deceased
soldiers and sailors Of the late civil
war; approved April 10. 1903, be, and
tho same Is hereby. amended to read
as follows:
listed man who served 80 days or more
States during the late civil war, and
who has been honorably discharged
thsrefrom has died or shall hereafter
die, leaving widow, such widow shall,
upon due proof Of her husbands death,
without proving his death to be the
result Of his army or navy service, be
placed on the pension roll from the
date of Filing OF her application
therefor under this act at the rate Of
311 per month during her widowhood:
Provided, That said widow shall have
married said soldier or sailor prior to
the passage and approval Of this act.
and the benefits of this section shall
include those widows whose husbands
II living would have a pensionable
status under the joint resolutions of
Feb. Is, 1895. July 1, 1902. and June
28, 1906.'"
Senator McCumber has again highly
commended himself to the veterans
by his great service.

REPuBLICANIsM IN THE SOUTH.

Mr.. Taft is finding the biggest job of
the Administration he will shortly enter
upon in recasting the Republican Par
| ty of the South. He has announced
that he proposes to make radical
changes, and these are waited for with
breathless interest. The Republican
Party in most Of the Southern States
has for years been constituted mainly
of q few self-appointed leaders who
held all the offices and did not propose
to have any more Republicans in the
State to contest for she possession of
these. They were too often in actual
alliance with the Democrats in this
suppression of any expansion of Re-
publicanism. The Democrats were well
satisfied with the way things were go
ing, and they relied upon their Repub-
lican allies to make it unpleasant for
any Democrat who wanted to revolt
against the ring rule and go over to the
Republican Party. This condition was
greatly intensified by President Roose-
velt's action in constituting three ref
erees in each State to distribute the
patronage. President Roosevelt hoped
by this to save himself from the an
noyance arising out of the bitter fights
among these leaders for the Offices
The referee system, however, resulted
in even worse conditions. The referees
used their power for their own ends
and to reward their friends and sup
porters. They drew the Republican
line sharply on these. Those who were
their henchmen constituted the Re-
publican Party, while everybody else
was outside the breastworks. The Ma
tional Tribune has in the past frequent
ly commented upon the way that good,
deserving veterans, men who were Re
publicans from principle, and who had
gone South to help build up the cou1-
try, were sternly turned down by these
referees in favor of some obscure per-
son. whose sole merit was his subser-
v1ency to the political boss. The South
is so remote politically from Washing
ton and the great party movements in
the North that there seemed no help
against the dictatorship of these men.
Mr.. Taft promises to break up this sys-
tenn and make 1t possible for men who
approve OF the Republican policies to /
be represented in the Republican Party
and have their influence felt in their
States. 1t will be interesting to watch |
the method by which Mr.. Taft goes |
about this. |

Kaiser Wilhelm has met another un-
pleasant rebuff. He wanted to sell q
lot of old castles along the Rhine. which
were considered imperial junk. and cost
about $4,000 a year to keep from
tumbling into ruin. He wanted to get
rid Of this expense, and also get what
ever ready money they would bring, but
in looking into the matter Il II found
that he does not really own them. They
belong to the State Of Prussia. He win
have to keep them up all ths Same.
since that was part Of the bargain. The
castles have some imperial value, a.
they add to tho attraction Of the conn
try for tourists.
