Hill City, Kan, January 22.-Afvin
Law, one of the best known farmers
and stockmen of Graham county, is
dead here of kidney trouble. .Dissolu-
tion occurred at 5 O'Clock today. He
had been ill Tsfor several months.
Law was one of the formost citizens
of the section of Kansas OF which he
was a resident Coming here 35 years
ago with his wife, babe, a team and
5000 he stayed through the lean years
and amassed competency. His large
ranch which lay half way between
Hill City and Wa-Keeney was one of
the finest in this part of Kansas
Several times Mr.. Law represented
his district in the legislature and a
more generally known man would be
hard to find in western Kansas. He
was a Methodist and member of the
Masonic orders. His age was about
60 years. He leaves wife and sew
eral children.
The funeral services have not yet
been arranged. Topeka Journal

AN INGRATf!

We are glad to note that our
article last Saturday pinched'
to the extent that the Reporter
in trying to make a bluff at an
swering simply did so by saying
nothing There is something
extremely pitiful in a man with
out wit trying TO be witty and if
we boosted" him any we are
right here to say he is welcome
to it and we are in the boosting
business from now on. We sim
ply told the truth about the
whole deal He says he bid go
and IS respectively Well, there
is still enough differ ence be-
tween that and Is per cent
Berwick refers to the fact
that he was hard up when he
arrived in Wa-Keeney. That is
something that can happen and
does frequently happen with all
men and is no discredit, but the
shame in this case lies in the
fact that we did our part and
treated him as a man even buy
ing his coal to warm his shinS
and when he had the chance to
do US kindly little turn and di-
vide the printing as had been the
custom for years and which he
had agreed to do, he choose to
do US the lowest, underhand
trick man could do A skunk
would likely bite the hand that
would try to caress it and in this
respect is not lacking IN the at
tribute of the aforesaid gentle
man.
We will say that it is mighty
unbecoming of any man to infer
that the other fellow isn't hon
est and ought to return money.
How about some of the gate re-
ceipts at the Fair last fall broth
er Berwick? No? 49,
Unlike our contemporary this
instance is not closed until we
are good and ready to close it.
When it is necessary to boost"
We'll be glad to do it.

SUSSEX FARMERS
PROFIT FROM MILK

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
LEWES, Del, Nov. 29.-Many of
the farmers in this section of the
county are encouraging the keeping
of stock on the farms. and Of sending
milk and cream to the creameries.
William d. Wilson has stated that
in one years dealings with the Lewes
Creamery Company he has received
$71160 in payment for cream. This
does not include milk or the calves.
The farmers have never advocated
expensive feeding, but feed their cat
tie from their crops, and fbelieve that
the selling of milk and cream to the.
creameries is a valuable asset to
every farmer. as It saves the con-
stant and hard work of butter-making
themselves and each year nets them
a much better profit than they re-
ceive themselves by their own max
ing.

NEW PHASE ON
MAN SLAYING

A new phase 10 the shooting affair
at ClaymOnt, which occurred last
Monday, has developed since County
Detective John O'Toole, of Chester,
instituted the search for Frank
Fragneio, who shot and killed Tonic
Rosetti az uIat tirte.
n now appears that the story that
Fragneio and Rossett had quarreiod
before the shooting was untrue, the
fight having occurred between Ros-
setti and Dominick Tomato II de-
yeloped that before coming to Marcus
Hook 20 work Rosetti loaned Tomato
money, and last Monday when Tomat-
to started 10 work Rosetu approached
him and asked for a part payment
on the money A fight then occurred
between Rosetti and TomHtto, and
Fragneio arrived on the scene Just
As Rosetu knocked Tomato down,
the latter having been about to strike
him with a shovel. F'ragncio be-
came angered at this, and drew his
revolver and shot Rosetti.
Tomato was arrested In Philadel-
phia and is being held as a witness
in the case. The authorities are of
the opinion Fragneio is being secreted
oy friends In Philadelphia, and
thorough search is being instituted.

OPTIMISTIC OVER
BUSINESS CONDITIONS

The December business digest as
issued by the National Bank Of Della
ware says
"A careful analysis Of the business
situation at this time shows clearly
that me majority of complaints heard
about business operations during the
past two years have been without
real foundation or reason. Taking
tho totals Of all big things in bust
ness for the past twenty-four months,
we find that new records have been
set for the two-year period by nearly
every one Of them and the sum total
of them all sets a decidedly new rec
ord in transactions. Bank clearings,
foreign trade, production OF gold,
coal and the base metals. earnings
of railroads and crop production have
all, during this period, exceeded any
similar period in the history OF the
country.
These great activities have caused
. tight money market because we
have not enough of the circulating
medium and scarce money in turn
has caused business failures to in
crease materially both In number Of
failed concers and in total liabilities.
During October. bank clearings
totaled 1886 million dollars, while
last year they were 17.146 millions.
The considerable shrinkage for the
month was not all due to lack Of
stock exchange operations because
clearings outside New York totaled
only 7002 million dollars compared
with 1907 millions for October last
year. For the ten months, clearings
have totaled 141 billion dollars COM
pared with 14S billions for the same
period last year"

OF possible candidates for the posi-
ton OF manager of the Cincinnati

from New York by President James
J. Gaifney, OF the local club.
Saying that he took into considera-
ton the fact that in other years the
Cincinnati Club had tried 20 procure
Sweeney as manager. Gaffney noti-
fed the Boston captain that he had
permission to negotiate for the posi-
tion If he desired to. Were you 10
succeed, 1t would bring mingled
sense of reluctance and pleasure to
me- President Ganfney wrote.
Sweeney said he would take the
matter under consideration.
