Obituary.

was held from St Francis Roman
Catholic church at 1000 o'clock ON
the morning of October q. 1910, his
death having occurred at Burchard,
Nebraska, Monday, October "a, at
$50 p. m.
The Right Rev. Bishop Bonieum
held Solemn Requiem Mass, Father
Freeman, Dean of the Wymore distrie
and Father Hoffman of this city be-
ing in the sanctuary
Twenty-eight visiting priests sat in
the congregation together with
many personal friends of Father Bex,
whose different religious opinions did
not prevent them from knowing and
appreeiating good and worthy
man.
Father Bez came to this parish
about sixteen years ago, and al.
though never domonsuatNe and al
ways opposed to personal publicity,
the good he has done and the remark
able work he has accomplished in
the parish could not fail TO attract
the attention of the public.
Father Bex was born in Holland
on the 22nd of June 1919 and at the
time of his death had reached the age
of sixty-one years, four months and
two days. He was ordained a priest
at Lies Hout, Province of North Bar
bent on July "a, 1877. After sery-
ing six years as a priest in Holland
he came to the States in 1884 and
took up the mission work. His first
parish was Cheyenne, Wyo., where
he remained year and was then
sent to Basin, Wyoming, and after a
few months he went to David City
where he resided eight years, then
came to Falls City in January 1895.
On the oath of July 1902 the friends
of Father Bex planned for him a sur
prise in honor of the twenty-fifth an
niversary of his priesthood. Several
visiting priests were present and
High Mass was celebrated at eight
O'Clock. In his address Father Roach
of Fairbury gave a historical sketch
of Father Bex's life and work. In
speaking of the work and good acs
complished he said ut will not be
necessary to erect a monument TO
Father BeX; he has erected his own
monument in the hearts of the peo-
pie" How true that is. But in this
city the convent and new church will
always stand as memorials to the en-
ergy and perseverance of this good
man, whose one ambition, for so
many months, was not realized, name
ly to say one Mass in the new
church.
His memory will always be dear
to his many Falls City friends, and
may he be rewarded by the just
and alwise Father for the good he
has done in his thirty-three years of
priesthood.
The visiting priests were;

PROHIBITION, IN KANSAS.

From an Address by Gov. Stubs
TT is true that some liquor is sold in
Kansas in spite of the prohibitory law.
and IT is also true that some horses
are stolen and some houses entered by
burglars in spite of the laws against
theft But l am here to tell you that
the law against liquor selling is as well
enforced in our state as any other
law
The principal trouble is in a few
border counties, particularly those ad-
joining Missouri. We have closed I'm
the blind pigs. but .bootleggers drive
over the state line in wagons peddling
booze, and the federal courts protect
their business as interstate commerce
That is why We Kansas people are
interested in having Missouri go dry. 1t
is big expense to our state to look
after the disorder in those border coun-
ties Fiftythre percent of the convicts
in our. penitentiary come from II border
counties The families of many of the
convicts and of drunkards, have to be
cared for

Long before the European came to
the Americas, the civilized indians of
this locality had learned to find the
blue of the sky in the bowels of hte

a sequel of the original capture of the
mine by the Spanish settlers. Now the
old shaft, improved and surrounded by
newer ones, is owned by Tiffany, a
New York concern whose very name
suggests wealth. The blue of the sky
in form of semiDrecious stones, is
taken from the~earth and sold through

PROHIBITION IN ARIZONA.

L rom HnOenlx tArlZ-) Gazette.
The result of the recent local Cd

the drift Of public sentiment on the
liquor question. Voted on at an cleo

picked with the issue, the people very
evidently considered and decided the
question from a moral and economic
standpoint.
In former years the liquor problem
was viewed largely as a religious or
moral issue. Nowadays the economic

WHAT DON KEDzIE SAYS.


The Liberal is proud to know" that
FL Paso is rapidly becoming civilized.
Within the past week it has redeemed
itself from the reputation it has long
enjoyed Of turning murdererS loose. on
trial. 1t has been so long since a killer
has been convicted of murder in the
first degree in that town that memory
does not recall the date. Two men
have been tried there and convicted of
murder in the first degree.
1t is probable that neither of the
murders would have been committed
II Ell PasO juries had done their duty
in the past 1t was considered perfectly
safe to kill a man in that town. Know
ing how killers were treated in FL
Paso, John Leech considering it per-
fectly safe to do SO, went down to
Kohlberg's store and shot him a couple
OF times, which shots caused death in
few moments. Leech was arrested,
tried, convicted of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to prison for
life.
This jury has set an example The
old time is past and gone. Ell Paso has
entered a new era. In the future life

than it has been heretofore.
This case was followed by the trial
OF Frank Lawson, a negro, who killed
his wife because she would not live
with him and stand his abuse. The new
era and change of sentiment was shown
