Was Victim OF Misfortune.

w. S. Hohenschelt, formerly
proprietor of the News Herald,
of Joplin, Missouri, was killed
instantly by a fall of rock in the
Hecla mine at Burke Monday,
while working as a shoveler on
the twenty-first floor of the mine.
Hohenschelt has been pursued
by misfortune for years. For
merly he was wealthy, but lost
his money in mining ventures.
Then came family troubles, which
separated him from his wife.
Since working as miner, he
sustained a very painful accident
which deprived him of the use of
one eye, but he remained cheer

Nothing less than the dissolu.l
ton of the nation, says Golfers
Weekly, will prevent the organi-
cation of the State of Alaska.
In 1850, when California was adj
mitted into the Union, she had
no lines of railway, telegraph, |
trades, or business connecting
her with the other states, and
was thought to be valuable only
for placer gold. Her agriculture
and trade, her railroads and
present grandeur, have all grown
since her admission.
Alaska is a greater country
and richer in all its natural re-
sources than California was in
1850. Alaska has more gold than
California and Colorado; more
copper than Montana and Arr
IONA; more coal than Pennsyl-
vania,, West Virginia and Ohio;
and more fish than all other
American waters combined.
4 Her output of gold and fish for
last year amounted to nearly
$32, 900, 600, and had increased 4
from SIS, OOO,O0 in 1900. Her
total cash trade with the rest of
the United States for 1909 a..
mounted to more than $50, 0O0,-
600, while that between China
and the United States amounted
to only $48, 900, 900.
She is a better customer of the
merchants of the United States
than Hawaii, Porto Rico, or the
Philippines. The trade value of
every white man, woman and
child in Alaska with the United
States for 1909 amounted to ST.
302. rs, while that of every in
habitant in Hawaii amounted to
only $277.65, Porto Rico to
$48.51, and the Philippines to
$3.50.
Alaska has a better climate
and greater agricultural capacity
than Norway, Sweden and Fin
land combined. Her rich and
fertile valleys are capable of
supporting much larger popu-
lation than that of the three
countries named, without men,
tioning the population which will
be supported by her mines and
| other natural resources.
= Alaska is a great possession.
Stewards Folly" as it was cali
e ed after the secretary Of state
had bought it for 81, 100000, has
?; become the pride of the United
I States.
E It is an empire in extent. Its
{ coast line would girdle the globe.
/. It's broad acres would cover all
the states east of the Mississippi
and north of Georgia and North
Carolina. The Yukon is the
4 Amazon of North America. The
i, i, southern coast has an annua
" temperature equal to that Of
ly Kentucky.
3 1t is an empire in richness.
o. .. Before long even our own coun
try, with its supposedly mex.
haustible forests, will be com
: PEELED to look to the vast wood
: lands of Alaska, where great
pines, cedars, spruces and Other
valuable trees await the uses Of
men. Fur in great abundance
and beauty is to be obtained
from the denizens of the forests.
The waters swarm with salmon.
The seals are famous. The cod
J fish is a coming source of enor-
: nous wealth. Coal, copper anC
marble are abundant, in addition
to the gold that draws the
throngs of miners. The frs
N years output of Cape Nome, tina
rich goldfield, was equal to the
- entire cost of Alaska, and more
T. All this wealth renders certain
to large population in the distan
y. future. -

Held Up

Paul Cowgirl was held up by
two men in the west part of town
last night and relieved of his
watch. In our six years of news
paper work IN this city, this is our
first "hold-up" to narrate. We
hope the foot. pads will be appre-
hended, as we don't care to get to
assuming metropolitan airs of that
character.-Alva Review Courier,
January 9th.
A similar hold.up by two un-
known men was attempted at Kio,
wa the night of January 4th. Ly-
man Sommer who is now tempor-
arily staying in this city, was
"rolled" by two vagabonds but he
made a getaway. On his way
home about midnight he was
"waylaid' at the alley crossing at
the rear of the Metz store. They
got him down and dragged him
several rods but in the struggle
Lyman got a good hold on the
throat of one of the men and that
in addition to several very loud
cries for help, persuaded the out
laws to break and run. Lyman
says this was the first real scare he
ever experienced.
The men answer the description
of two characters that were fined
here on Tuesday of last week and
it is believed that they went from
here to Kiowa and from Kiowa to
Alva.

and each voted for the other for
chairman and adjourned with a
dead lock on. Chairman Lake,
not being present, had no vote
coming and he is still holding
down the craftsmanship. We sup
pose it will require pistols, coffee
and cigars to settle it-at future
meeting.
The road petitioned for by Jacob
Achenbach and others, in the south
part of the county, was allowed,
after which the board adjourned
sine die.

Hip Broken

Robert H. Holmes, father of
James, Wilson and Earl Holmes,
had the misfortune to fall and
break his hip at the Holmes Bros.
ranch in Elwood township on Fri.
day evening. DR.. Donovan was
called and the fracture was found
to be very bad and on Monday
morning the patient was taken to
Wichita for treatment, accompan-
led by the sons and physician.
Mr.. Holmes was on his way to
the well to get some water when
the accident happened. Snow and
sleeet has been on the ground for
the past two weeks and walking is
difficult even for young man, and
hence doubly so far an aged man.
He Is seventy-six years of age
which gives cause for alarm. We
hope to hearJof his early improve
uent.

Interest Increasing

The revival meetings at the
Methodist church continue to grow
in interest. Large crowds come
out to all the services and Evange.
list Winter is doing some very
aggressive work, On some themes
he is quite radical and many people
do not endorse all he says, but it
must be said that he has the cour-
age of his convictions. The revival
meetings will continue every night
this week and we are expecting
good results from this weeks work.
The work of the week will deter
mine what shall be done afterward.
Everyone is invited to come. The
evangelist is preaching strong gos-
pei sermons and much good is
being done.

"The Girl and the Gawk"

Is beautiful Comedy Drama that
does not depend on murder, stolen
papers, wills, mortgages, or any
such old hackneyed and thread
bare ideas for plot. There is no
shooting, killing, or crime depict
ed, but still there is such an inten-
sity in the story that it holds the
audience in a spell of excitement
until the happy finale.
Shouts of laughter, applause,
and tears follow each other contin-
ually.
The audience loves sweet little
"Annie Laurie" and "Jim Jones,
The Gawk" keeps them screaming.
The "Colonel" and the Captain
both contribute largely to the fun
and are great favorites.
Special scenery is used for every
act and the entire production is a
complete and artistic one. The
company is composed of actors and
actresses selected especially for
their respective roles.

Sales Values and Assessments

The last official act of County
Assessor Bailey, before retiring
from his Office which was abolished
by the legislature of 1909, was to
furnish the State Tax Commission
with a statement showing the per-
centage which the assessed values
of Barber county lands bears to the
values shown by actual sales made
during the year 1909 as shown by
record in the Office of the register
OF deeds, and the statement is as
follows:

Farmers Institute Saturday

The Farmers Institute of Barber
county will meet at the court house
in this city on Saturday, January
18th. one of the important topics
to be discussed at the meeting is,
"Raising Oats in this Western
Country" Oats growing in this
part of the state has not been a
paying proposition but with proper
energy and studious efforts it can
be made to pay. The State Agri-
cultural College is putting out
seed which the institution claims
is peculiarly adapted to this soil
and climate and the claim is made
that if the seed-bed is properly pre-
pared il is certain to yield enor-
mously.
Other subjects of importance
will be discussed and, since this is
to be the first meeting in the new
year, a large attendance would be
appreciated.
Everybody, especially every
farmer in Barber county, is invited,
whether a member of the Institute
or not.
The meeting will be called to
order at 1880 P. m. promptly.
Barbour County index., 1910-01-12

We de not know what the Tax
Commission desires to do, if any
thing, with these figures, but if they
are intended to govern this years
valuations, we think the table
would be a poor guide, for it is
more than likely that in most cases
the best land was sold and there.
fore the selling price would not be
a safe index to the actual value of
land values in general. There is
a reverse example in the case of
Turkey Creek where only two
tracts were sold. In this case it
appears that very cheap grade OF
land was sold and the average as
sessed value of the township was
much greater than the selling
price of these two tracts, but in
the others the assessed value is less
than the value disclosed by actual
sales, and this is natural. There
are instances here in Medicine
Lodge in which land has recently
sold for $1oo per acre but this was
choice alfalfa land and very far
from the average land.
The information to the Commits
sion will do no harm if judiciously
used, but it would be manifestly
unfair to assess all land at the fig
ures revealed by specific sales, and
we hope this will not be done.

Prizes for Telephone Girls

The hearts of three Independent
telephone operators were made
glad today. They received prizes
for making the most rapid average
time in answering local telephone
calls. The prizes consisted of three
electric counter lamps, furnished by
Homer Caldwell of the United
Electric company.
The first prize was a $25 lamp;
the second a $40 lamp, the third a
SIS lamp. Miss Irene Norton re-
ceived first prize, her time being
2.37 seconds. Miss Nina Bennett,
received second prize, her time be.
ing 2.3o seconds. Miss Kate But.
Ter received third prize, her time
being II seconds. The Inoepend.
dent Telephone company, twenty.
three weeks ago decided to offer cash
prizes of So as first and 81 as Sec
ond prize to the operators who make
the best time at the end of each
week in answering calls. These
prizes will be offered again
this year. There were twelve
operators, whose yearly average
was better than three seconds pei
calI.-Wichita Beacon.
This is what may be called 'go-
ing some" 1t occurred to us last
week that two calls per minute was
swift, but this seems to "cap the
climax
