Horse Thief Captured by Sheriff LOr-
ey Gets Five Years in Prison.

0. D. Martin, the horse thief who
was captured a few weeks ago by
Sheriff Lorey a few miles east Of
Leon, having four stolen horses In
his possession at the time, was SEN
fenced last week at Sidney by JUDI
Arthur to a term of five years i'm tk0
penitentiary at Fort Madison. 1h
Fremont County Herald in speaking
of the case says:
O. D. Martin, self-cOnfessed horse
penitentiary, has gone to Ft. Madi-
son to try life in the Iowa pen for
five years. Last Friday Martin ex-
pressed a willingness to plead guilty
and take his medicine. Word was
sent to Judge Arthur who was hold
ing court at Red Oak. He came
down on the evening train and i'm
mediately opened court. Upon hear
ing Martins story of the theft of
eight horses, new buggy, two sad
dies, set of harness and a watch,
all within the space of two months,
Judge Arthur sentenced the man to
five years at hard labor in the Ft.
Madison penitentiary, and in view of
the extent Of his thievery, together
with his former unsavory record, the
judge made the additional recon-
mendation that Martin be detained
for the full time. Sheriff Ryan left
with his man Saturday morning.
Nor is this likely to end his servi-
tude. Two of the horses having
been stolen in Missouri and four 9th
ers in Nebraska, it is quite probable
that officers from those states will be
on hand at the expiration of his pres
ent term to give him more of it. At
this rate it would mean 20 years i'm
prisonment in the three states.

WHY EDUCATION?
Chief Scout Executive Gives An An.
swer to Encourage SchOolb0ys.

Referring to the fact that more THAI
100000 boys in the United States
will reopen their books this month
in the public schools, which will be
maintained this year at cost of more
than $450,OO0,OO0, the chief scout exec
utive of the boy scouts of America
James E. West asks the question in
the September number of Boys Lie
why This Tremendous EXpense?" IL
his answer he says:
Because history proves that edit
cation is the great essential; becaus =
governing authorities have found il
to be a wise investment to help boys
to help themselves. 1t insures good
government Among these school
boys are future presidents congress-
men, supreme-court judges and others
who will serve the national govern
ment; governors of states, mayors of
cities and all the leaders for what is
worth while in their communities.
The executive head of the boy scou.
movement then makes this interesting
suggestion, which thoughtful parents
will be glad to make to their boys:
"The men who will thus make their
mark will be those who as boys dur
ing this school year and the coming
school years make the most of their
opportunities while in school-boys
who follow the scout laws of being
trustworthy, loyal, helpful friendly
courteous, kind, obedient, truthful,
thrifty, brave, clean and reyerent.
These laws of the boy scout movement
should be observed by all boys.
Representing the boy scouts OF
America, | am glad to send greetings
to all the school boys and urge each
in taking up his school work to keep
in mind that it is largely
within his own choice what he actually
accomplishes Remember that al
men look back upon their school days
as the best of their lives and upon
their teachers as among their most
helpful friends.
There are some boys who must
bear in mind there is a possibility
Of intemperance even in study. A we'll
and trained mind may be
useless without strong, healthy BODY
So l say to all boys, take up your
work with joy and enthusiasm, ac-
cept the leadership OF your teachers,
apply yourself vigorously to your les
sons, but give some part of each day
10 recreation, and some part Of each
Teek to outdoor activity

With BRYAN AND
BOTH ARE silent
By C. S. ALBERT
star Bulietin WIrelessl

L
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 80
President-elect Wilson and William j.
Bryan held their much-advertised con-
ference and the wheels of government
did not stop revolving. Neither did
there break forth a great inlighten-
ment as to who would compose the
next cabinet Both participants inn
mediately became more secretive than
q dog burying a bone in the back
yard. They insisted that nothing was
discussed but general lines of party
policy and the best plan of redeem
ing pledges made in the Baltimore
platform. Hence nobody appears
wiser for the meeting at Trenton be-
tween the would-be boss and the next
president.
After leaving Governor Wilson's
home and coming to this city Mr..
Bryan grew irritated and ridiculed the
idea that he would be secretary of
the treasury and sit on the Wall
Street lid when panics threatened and
the country starts to the bow-wows.
He was all fused up about this latest
report.
Bryan is Firm
II do not intend to be annoyed
about any more rumors," declared Mr.
Bryan. swapping his teeth firmly to-
gether Whenever you have any
written statement made by any one
that is worth answering, l shall ans
wer it. But you need not come with
rumors. nor with what some friend
is quoted as saying. If a man is a
friend of mine he does not conceal his
name, and give out anonymous in
terviews."
In announcing this opinion Mr..
Bryan waxed scornful. He referred
to the statement that he had taken
an option on a suits of office rooms
here, running until March l, and said
it was sample of the lies told about
him.
Senator Overman pilgrimaged to
Trenton and spoke in behalf of
Josephus Daniel for postmaster gen.
eral under the new regime. 1t was
supposed that on his return he could
give out some good cabinet guesses.
On the contrary, he reached the city
just in time to take an ambulance
for the hospital, where he Immediate
ly underwent an operation for append
citis. 1t is firmly believed on all
sides that Daniel will be postmaster
general and that is about the only
cabinet job nailed down up to this
time.
Since Mr.. Overman made the jour
ney with such disastrous results other
Democratic leaders here have follow
ed in his footsteps. That is they
went to see Governor Wilson, but es-
capped the appendicitis. Speaker
