CITIZEN EXPIRES
Samuel S. StalIer, Longtime Resi-
dent, Found Dead in Bed on
Monday Morning.
GRANDMA G,LLETT At nest.
AGED Oenson Woman Goes to Rich
Reward Earned on Earth by
Devotion to Family.

The death of Mr.. Samuel S. Staller,.
who resided with his son, w. F.. Stall
er, on farm in Washington township
came as shock to his relatives and
many Crawford county friends. Mr..
lStaller, although a man well advanced
Tin years, had been in apparent good
health previous to his death, which Oc
cured on Monday, September. 18TH
Tue to heart trouble. Mr.. Staller re-
tired on Sunday evening, seemingly
las we'll as at any time during the past
week, and his family little realized
that before the coming OF another day
Ibis soul would have passed to the
great beyond.
Samuel S. Staller was born at Pines
Church near Carlisle, in the Cumber
land valley. Dickinson township,
Penna., Feb. 25, 1882. He was the son
of Henry Staller. who also was a
native OF Pennsylvania, and a de-
.scendant of one Of the old German
1amlileS OF that state. J;
Mr.. Staller spent the early years of
his life on farm and later learned
the trade of a blacksmith, which he
followed at Pine Grove, Penna., for
number of years. Before the war of
the rebellion he removed to Warren
county. H., and it was there in 1861
that he enlisted in the 11th Illinois
cavalry, Company X, and served with
that company until November, 1862,
when he was taken prisoner at Eek
|ington, Tenn. He was soon paroled
and returned to Illinois and later to-
PENNSYLVANIA, where in 1863 he en-
Eisted in Company L of the 10th
Pennsylvania cavalry, which took an
active part in the peninsular cam
+paign, the Wilderness, spottsylsaaia
and other engagements, and while
there had partial sunstroke, and
since that time has been unable to
work in the hot sun. In 1869 he. came
to Iowa, settling near Des Moines, and
in 1878 came to Crawford county and
settled on farm in Washington town
ship where he lived until the time OF.
his death.

DIVORCE WEEK IN
DISTRICT COURT
Many Cases Started Are Settled Out OF
Court-One Case That Should
Never Have Started.
PATTERSON CASE NOT DECIDED
Jury is on Hand and Law Gases Will
Hold Courts Attention for
Next Two Weeks.

The district court is grinding away
this week in the trial Of law cases
Judge Powers having devoted all OF
last week to the trial OF cases on the
equity calendar.
The case OF Mrs. Hannah and Deit.
rich against Isaac Patterson, in which
the plaintiffs sought to have a deed
which they and others had given the
defendant about twelve or thirteen
years ago, set aside, was tried and
submitted TO the court. There was no
dispute but what the plaintiffs made
to the defendant deed, covering their
interest to half-section of land in
West Side township, but their conten-
consideration for the conveyance.
There was great deal OF evidence.
showing prior transactions concerning
this land between the plaintiffs and
the defendants, and that they had been
paid the full consideration for their
interest in the land. and that under
the circumstances, it was but equit-
able and just that the second deed.
which they gave. should stand lnas-
much as the case is now pending be-
fore the court to be decided later on
after the arguments are made in writ
ing. it perhaps is just as we'll not to
go into the disputed facts in the case
until the final decree has been rem.
dered. The court gave the plaintiffs
ten days time to prepare their argu-
menr and ten days to the defendant
TO answer. with the same length of
time for the plaintiffs to reply to the
defendants argument. The case ought
TO be submitted within the next three
tT four weeks and disposed OF soon
after its submission.
The divorce case of Kepford against
kepford was also tried and decided by
the court, after hearing the evidence
The court dismissed the plaintiffs Pc
tition and denied her & divorce, which
was the only reasonable thing that
could be done after the evidence was
all presented. The plaintiff evidently
had not fully disclosed the facts in
the case to her attorney before

DENIS0N SALOONS
PERMITTED TO run
Complaint That penison Saloons Had
Not Secured 80 Per Gent Of vot-
ers on Petition Not Sufficient.
MANILA CASE is CONTINUED
Cases From Vail, Schles>sis and Char.
ter Oak Will Not be Decided
Until Supreme Court Acts.

The saloon cases brought for TEN.
porary injunctions against the several
saloonkeepers of the county came on
for hearing and disposition before the
district court the latter part of the
week, and while good deal of inter.
est was manifested, both on the part
of those who are interested in the
prosecution of the saloons and those
who were apprehensive lest some
thing would be done to put them out of
business, there was not the intense
feeling shown which apparently was
anticipated.
Mr.. Joseph, of Sioux City, attorney
for the antisaloon league, was
on hand and was ably assisted by
local Representatives of the league
from Manila. The cases first brought
on for trial We're those instituted
against the five saloons in Den
isOn to enjoin them under peti-
tions filed for temporary injunctions.
Motions for more specific statements
were filed in the several cases, and the
prosecution requested to state
what particular violation Of the law
on the part OF the saloons was relied
upon. In answer TO the motion, the
attorney for the :anti-saloon league
said there was but one ground on
which the prosecution depended for
closing the saloons, SO tar as the Deni-
son cases were concerned, and that
was that less than so per cent OF the
voters of the city bad petitioned for
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors., his
contention being that at least 80 per,
cent was required in order to comply
with the law. 1t was admitted, on the
I,ant,of the defense, that so per cent OF
the voters Of the city had not pc
iitianed for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. but it was contended that all
that was required was a majority OF
the voters. inasmuch as general Pc
titiOn of consent had been circulated
in the county where more than 65 per
cent of the voters had petitioned for
the sale 'of liquors.
lnasmuch as there was no dispute
on the facts of the case, the question

bring the suit or it probably woul
never have been brought. The fact
developed were not of character t
inspire the greatest confidence in hu
man nature.
A number OF other divorce case
were disposed of generally without ;
contest. 1t is remarkable thing tha
no less than five or six divorce cases
started for this term OF court, have
been disposed of by settlements be
tween the parties since the cases We're
started. We are inclined to look with
disfavor upon the practice of people
going into the court to ask for divorces
and then making settlements thai
should be made before the cases are
started. We have no criticism for peo
Iple settling their domestic difficulties
but they should be settled before go
!, ing into court for the purpose of airing
them.
The jury is on hand this week and
|the trial OF law cases, will hold the
boa rds for the next two weeks. On
Monday the case of Sherman against
Slater. an action brought to recover
rent for the use of farm, was settled
after the case was called for trial
and Judgment rendered in favor of the
plaintiff for a portion of her claim.
The next case called for trial was
that Of Excelsior Supply company
against Thomas Thompson. OF Char
ter Oak. This was an action in which
the plaintiff, Chicago automobile
house, brought an action against the
defendant to recover the price of GER
tain automobile fixtures A jury was
impanneled and the attention of the
court on Monday afternoon taken up
in settling the pieadings. On account
of new issues presented by the de.
fendant, the case was dismissed by
the plaintiff without prejudice 10
bringing another suit on the claim. AT
the conclusion Of this case that OF
Turner against Bennett was begun
and is still on trial. In this case the
|plaintiff asks damages against the de
fendant for alleged injuries because
|it is claimed the defendants car
frightened the team OF plaintiff, caus
ing st to run away.
Mr.. n. Pearson and nephew, Joseph
Macy. last Sunday celebrated their
birthdays together at the Pearson
home in Goodrich township. About
forty relatives and friends of the Pear
sons were present to partake of the
bounteous feast which had been pre-
pared for the occasion, and all report
having spent a most enjoyable day.

SWEDISH BAPTlSTS

Over United States and Canada

eago Next Meeting Place.

The General Annual Conference o.
the Swedish Baptists of United States
an Canada, held at Kiron, September
9th to 10th, was attended by over
three hundred delegates and visitors
Many of the visitors were surprised
upon their arrival to find no larger
town and no doubt their surprise was
tinged with disappointment and fear
when considering what seemed an i'm.
possibility to care for SO many Wis
itors, but after meeting the reception
committee and being assigned to the
many homes whose doors were open
for them, their disappointment soon
vanished. Many more could have
been well cared for. Three large vel
come banners had been strung across
the business streets, and the progress
i've business houses We're decorated
with flags during the conference days.
This was the thirty-second annual
injecting and was, considered one Of
the best ever held. Harmony and the
best of interest prevailed throughout
the business sessions, and questions
of vital Importance to the denomina-
ton were discussed and plans were
adopted for future work. The evening
sessions were devoted to song, pray
er and preaching services and were
attended by large audience.
On Sunday services were held at
the hall and Mission church as the
attendance was too large TO be ac-
comodated at the church. Among
some of the noted workers OF the
church present we mention Rev. e.
Wingren, editor of Nya WeckD Posten,
Chicago; Prof. G. Lagergren, of Chi
cago. and DIR. Frank Peterson, st.
Paul The conference with it's ses-
sions and devotional meetings will
long be remembered in KirUn
About fifty members Of the Com
mercial club enjoyed a buffet lunch
and smoker at the club rooms last Fri
day evening. The meeting was not
of business nature, but an informal
social gathering.

presented to the court was one purely
of law, and was submitted as such
The court, after taking the cases un
der consideration, held that it was moi
necessary, in order for the saloons tt
conduct a legal business, that they
should first have secured so per cent
| of the voters of the city, majorit.
being sufficient where the general pc
tition of consent had been circulated
in the county and more than IS pei
cent Of the voters had petitioned for
the privilege of selling liquors.
The cases were all submitted under
a stipulation which provided that il
the court held against the saloons, q
permanent Injunction should issue, and
if he held in favor of them that de.
cree should be entered dismissing the
petitions. The result is that the sa-
looms in Denison will run as hereto
fore, at least for the present.
So far as the Manila case is con-
cerned, in which an appeal was taken
from the action of the board of super
visors, holding the petition of consent
in the town of Manila sufficient, the
case could not be brought Oh for trial
on account of other cases holding the
attention OF the court. A large mum.
Der of witnesses were here on both
sides of the case and the parties were
ready for trial, and the case would
have been disposed of late in the week
had there been an opportunity to have
brought it on for trial. It final
ly became necessary to continue the
case over until the October term of
court, and this was also the order
made in the one for temporary injunc-
ton, both cases being set for trial the
first day of the next term of court.
The cases from Vail, Schleswig and
Charter Oak were submitted under
entered into by the parties
agreeing on the facts in each case,
and were taken under advisement by
the court. Inasmuch as the effect
of the Moon law is raised in these sew
eral cases, the probabilities are that
they will be held by the court and
not decided until after the supreme
court passes on similar questions in
cases now pending before that court.
The Indications are that it will be
but. a short time until the supreme
court will pass ON questions which will
determine whether the several sa-
looms in Vail, Schleswig and Charter
Oak will continue in operation or
whether they shall be reduced to one
provisions of the Moon law.

GOOD REPORT OF
 CONSTELLATION ACTIVITIES
 (From Fridays DaiIy.)

Judge P. s. Wren arrived from Con. stellatiOn yesterday and gives . good report of mining activity there. men tioning the big showing in the Monte Christo silver mine. owned by Ezra Thayer of Phoenix. An immense tonnage is on the dumps and in the mine ready for stoping. One of the admirable conditions attending the operation of the property is that it is being handled on a practical basis of development, the treating of the output being of secondary importance.
 Judge Wren also states that the Arizona Mines Company interests are attracting much attention, and the be lief is that the creation of a very desirable property is assured. In- dividual miners are also energetic and the indications are that the coming winter will see one of the strongest mining sections in the county estab- lished on a firmer basis than ever before

SMALLPOX ORIGINATING
 NAvAJoS AND MoQUIs
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

That smallpox is deeimating the Navajo Indians and that the dread disease has spread to the Moqui viii lages was the startling news received yesterday from Fred Volz. Indian trader at Canyon DiablO. In almost every ease the disease has been fatal to the Navajos and scores of the MOquis have already succumbed al though the disease made its appear ance in the villages less than a week ago. As a result the visits of Former President Roosevelt and Post master General Hitchcock. two princes of the royal blood of Ger many, and many other notables to the annual ceremonies of the Mouuis to be held next week have been can eelled and it is believed that the festivities will be cancelled by the tribe this year.
 Attorney and Mrs. F. s. Clark and two sons, who left yesterday for the Grand Canyon and to attend the Moqui dances will return here from the canyon and Reese M. Ling, who also intended to be present at the ceremonies will also cancel his visit.
 Fred Volz is the oldest Indian trader in Arizona. He has seen these tribes decimated by disease in past years and says that the epidemic of this year is the worst in the memory of the oldest Indians.
 Fourteen years ago two hundred and eighty-six Moquis sueeumbed to smallpox, reducing the tribe to less than six hundred members. It is feared that the tribe will be almost annihilated this year if medical aid is not promptly furnished by the government. The Indians have no cure for the disease and are loath to submit to treatment of physicians.

CATCHES RODENT
 WITH FIVE LEGS
From Thursdays Daiiy1

A large rat with five legs is what Mrs P. J. Farley found attached to trap in her barnyard on South Mount Vernon avenue yesterday even. ing at eight o'clock. Unfortunately the rodent, which was of the wood species, resented her presence and was dispatched by the faithful shep- herd that guards the hen roost, before the discovery was made that it had three well developed hind legs with all of which it kicked while the canine was crushing out it's life, otherwise the earthly career of the intruder might be prolonged on ae- count of its prospective value in a scientific way. The peculiar rodent was among a number of others that have been trapped in the last few days while invading the Farley chicken eOops.
 When informed of the incident a prominent democrat, who is can didate for the highest office in the gift of the people of the new state, anxiously inquired if the rat in ques- tiOn had 'VtOe" and on being in- formed in the negative, calculated i'Goodl we will get statehood sure v sure.U

CONDITION
 OF AFFAIRS IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. IO.-If the performance of the Senate upon the wool bill did not demonstrate that the condition of that body was ehao- tie, the action of Ameriea's 'House of LOrds' in reference to the House free list bill furnishes proof that the supposed republican control of the senate is a myth. The house free list bill which is reeog- nized as a Democratic measure, was defeated by a tie vote of 39 to 39 in the Senate. The House measure would have passed had the new Sena- tor elect from Georgia, Honorable Hoke Smith, been in Washington. However his absence resulted in ad- opting the compromise amendment of which Senator Kern of Indiana is the author. The changes made by the Senate in the House bill cannot be elassed as particularly important, and as this correspondence leaves the Cap ital, it is confidently expected that the two Houses will speedily agree upon their differences and lay before President Taft this new piece of tariff legislation which like the wool bill, has been brought about through the alliance in the senate of the Democrats and the progressive Republicans. The Republican Senators voting for the Kern amendment were Bristow of Kansas, Brown of Nebras- ka Clapp and Nelson of Minnesota, Crawford and Gamble of South Da- kota, Cummins and Kenyon of Iowa, Dixon of Montana, Gronna and Me Cumber of North Dakota, Jones of Washington, LaFollette of Wisconsin, Towsend of Michigan, and Works of California. The Kern amendment ap- plies only to the tariff resolution be- tween the United States and Canada. Originally the bill provided that meat products, flour, and cereal products, in all countries should be admitted free of tariff duty into the United States The Kern amendment provid- es that this free admission shall apply only to meats flour and cereal pro- ducts "coming from foreign eoun- tries with which the United States has a reciprocal agreement, and which shall admit from the United States

HALPN HELD FOR GRAND JURY
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

C. J. Halpin, who secured the sum of $31.45 from the Hotel St. Michael, on a worthless cheek, leaving the city immediately afterward for southern Arizona, had his preliminary exam nation yesterday before Judge Me Lane, and was bound over to the next grand jury in default of $500 bail. Halpin drew on the First National Bank of Phoenix. which financial institution has not come into existence up to date. He was captured in Tucson later and brought to this city.
