LUNATIC KILLED
ON A RANCH

District Attorney Dysart received
telephone message from Justice
Tripplett of Wells on Wednesday
afternoon stating that man had
been shot and killed by Bush Will
kins at his ranch about ten miles
north of Wells. The particulars, as
we learned them from Mr.. Dysart,
are about as follows:
The dead man came to Wells on
February 4th. He met Mr.. wilkins
at Wells and asked for employment.
Mr. Wilkins told him he could go
to the ranch with him and live
there until spring work began. He
Went to the ranch with Mr.. wilkins
and yesterday, while Abe Cadillac.
IA man working for Mr. wilkins, was
peeling potatoes for dinner, the vic
tim OF the tragedy began talking
about getting a job Cadillac told
him he could probably get work
near there, but he would have to
work under a boss, This remark
set the man wild He reached up
and got 44-caliber Colts revolt
YER and made threats at Cadillac.
Mr. wilkins had not been well for
several days and was lying on the
bed. He asked the man not to
start any trouble, At that, he tnn-
ed on Mr.. wilkins and called him
names. wilkins then started TO get
up, and the man fired at aim The
bullet missed Mr.. wilkins head a
few inches and went through the

Kindness.

There is nothing pays so well as
kindness. A man may spend his
money, and in proportion as he
expends it he reduces his princl-
pal; but kindness is entirely differ
ent, for in proportion as you spend
kindness your principal increases.
Kindness is an attractive thing.
1t brings around you many per-
sons who think kind thoughts OF
you; and this subtle, potent in
huence of having a lot of friends
help you by their actions and their
words is so very valuable that it
is surprising so many self-seeking
people know so little of its value.
People are glad to recognize
kindness in an individual. No man
can act the part if he is not sin
cere. He must cultivate kindness
if he has little of it in his makeup.
He must take an inventory OF his
qualities, and if the weeks Of mean
impulses are crowding out the
delicate flowers of kindness, he
should pull up those weeds and
give the flowers a chance to grow.
Lincoln said: "You can catch
more flies with drop of honey
than with gallon of vinegar.
Lincoln was an exceptionally
kind man, and his examples of
kindness have been of great value
to millions of people. "You re-
member" he said, "when they lay
me away, let it be said of me that
as | Travelled along life's road
always have endeavored to pull ur
the thistles and plant a rose IN
its stead"
Life at best is short, and the
only things we really get out of il
are health and happiness. Money
cannot buy these. But kindnes:
can. Illinois State Journal.

ing strength, others. rs Senator Boz
rah has truthfully said, have used
the Negro as = political football"
There are some of these same political
tricksters who are attempting the
same game, but the enterprising and
business Negroes are next. In Deca-
tur there are about 300 Negro voters.
and yet they have in the city six en-
ployees In creditable representative
places; in Springfield and Sangamon
county, where we have 1000 Negro
voters. we have one Negro recently
appointed a deputy sheriff, and q fire
department, and If a resolution could
have been gotten through the city
council we would be without any rep
resentation whatever in the city. 1t
Is time for US to be men and assert
our rights. In the judgment of the
writer. the Negro ballot is his only
weapon. The developing intelligence
of the Negroes are placing them upon
higher grounds. We are tired of
soothing syrug, but demand solid and
substantial food. We desire represen-
tation in our city government and
that such representation come from
among our best class of citizens. The
bum" element. the curb stone poll
tician and the saloon loungers must
be relegated to the rear and any can
didate who caters to this class is not
a fit representative for the masses.
Again we advise you to weigh each
man and do not SO quickly forgot the

to every home its market value.
1t is the activities of trade that
determine the life of city.
Money and brains builds and
moves great cities. A city with
out brains to direct its business
possibilities becomes a partisan
Jackpot for the boss politicians,
grafters and criminals, and a
haven for loafers to eat up the
substance of the taxpayers with
out prison or rock pile to dis
turb their dreams. Any two OF
the five candidates for mayor
nominated will be no disaster; a
good choice remains. But one
hundred patriotic would-be com
missioners must be slaughtered.
What a pity; yet we console our
selves with the amount of good
killing still left. We believe that
our cleansing power of moral
sense will vindicate the wisdom of
its being, and that Springfield
beautiful" will come off hero of

tion calling upon the Secretary of Agrl-
culture 10 make an immediate lnvestiga-
ton and report conditions of the cotton
crop. Senator Smith declared that the cot
ton market dropped SO a bale on the
strength OF the governments report of a
3,oe0. oc0-bale increase in this years crop.
This estimate was made on June 2s.'

Smith added. another glowing preliminary
report was issued.
II should hate TO draw in the Senate of
