A Solemn Warning Tuesday
afternoon a man calling himself
Grizzly Bill got into a dispute in the
Red Trout saloon with an individ-
ual who has been generally known
around town as Terrific Tom. Both
drew their guns and adjourned to the
sidewalk and began shooting. Twelve
shots were fired and the only thing
hit was Col. Bob McRoberts bull
dog, who died an hour later. The
parties were promptly arrested and
brought before us as Mayor, for
shooting all over the town and fail
ing to hit each other. II did not

Arthur Walsh caused futter of
excitement in our midst one day this
week by galloping up in front of the
postoffice and announcing that he had
Just met a green colored mule down
the road. While Arthur is regarded
as a truthful church member, the
crowd could scarcely believe their
ears, and a delegation started out
to view the mule with their own
eyes. They looked up and down
the road for several miles, and when
they got back to the postoffice they
found that Arthur nad looked at an
ordinary sorrel mule through green
spectacles.

The conversation at the postoffice
the other night drifted from the war
down nearer to home, and the sub
iect of buzzards was dwelt upon at |
length by Leonard Boulton and 9TH
ers. Dad Schreckengaust recalled
that he had seen probably the big
gest and oldest one on record. He
said this one roasted near in an old
barn in the Hog Hollow neighbor-
hood, and was one hundred and
twenty years old. II measured fifty
feet from tip to tip, and many a
time he says he has seen it swoop
down and take a COW right out of
the pasture in its claws, and feed
it to the young ones.

Should Ellsworth and Haycraft get up
real good scrap between themselves
Flittie would stand good show of
slipping into congress. But as neither
one is booming any principles there
does't appear to be much to scrap about.
Each did as much as he could two years
ago to disrupt the Republican party so
they haven't much on each other on that
score. Haycraft started out to discredit
the Democratic tariff but when it was
shown that he helped materially to bring
it about he seems to have quit and is
booming his legislative record; but with
the discredited primary law Of which he
was the main supporter and the big
appropriations which he says he didn't
vote for the legislative record is nothing
to brag about. Neither OF these can
didates deserve anything from Republi-
cans.--Slayton Gazette. Republican.

His crook. The only crook that is not
wholly anachronistic is he who was the
malefic hero Of that picturesque romance
Of thirty years ago, Lloyds' Wealth VS..
Commonwealth In the dark ages"
the churches were sanctuaries Of refuge
for the people. There they were safe
even from the kings officers pursuing
them for crime. But now the poor, the
voorhees,, may not enter church in New
York seeking bread or bed and shelter.
Extravaganza and futile as has been the
appeal Of the workers to the church for
relief from their miseries, that appeal
brings home to mems business and bosoms
the fact that the church has fallen down
on its mission to the poor and distressed.
It has no place for the despised and rejec-
ed OF men, nor for the unfortunate. 1t
does seem that the more q church does
for the poor the less churchly it be-
comes. The more church today stands
for justice and mercy, the less it
seems to coordinate. itself with the
theological. The church is Rockefel-
ler's and his kinds. Christ, as carpen-
ter, as a friend OF publicans and sinners,
would be black-balled by most churches
today When he scourged the money
lenders from the Temple He was NJ
slugged by the congregation. The m oney
lenders have more nerve today. They
know their vested rights in the church,
and knowing, daremaintain. So Rookie
feller's church," though nasty phrase,
expresses truth. However, when we
ask what we are going to do about it,
what have we to comfort us withal?
Only the echo of Lincoln's thought that
God must love the common people, see
ing how many more Of them he made than
OF the other kind. God in the church
made way for Rockefeller. He must,
therefore be outside the churches, with
the common people who don't go to
church. The common people must make
a new church in new state or new So
ciety in which there shall be no Rookie
fellers.

BLAME POISONING ON FLIES.

Anglers, December 13.--The' latest
discovery in the extraordinary poisoning
case at Cholet, near Anglers, where nine
persons died after partaking Of wedding
custard, is that the deaths are due to a.
contagious substance communicated to
the custard by flies. 1t is another in
stance Of the terrible danger that turks
in the presence of these insects near a
kitchen.
Three. doctors analysed the custard
and found traces OF paratyphic sub
stance, which might have caused the
mortality among the wedding guests. 1t
was decided to make a counter experiment
in the blood Of number of the persons
who fell dangerously i'll by means Of a
serum and this has given exactly the same
results. The blood of several patients
who had partaken Of the wedding custard,
and who were still i'll at Cholet, was
examined, and the same kind Of paraty-
phic substance was discovered. Three
rabbits and six guinea pigs which were
inoculated by the investigators died in
less than twelve hours, while mouse
became i'll but recovered.
1t was proved chat the substance had
been conveyed by flies, which were
swarming near the kitchen, and which
evidently had access to the eggs after they
had been beaten up for the custard, and
allowed to stand for several hours. The
conclusion was that the contagion had
been conveyed by the flies. Prof. Papin,
in fact, caught a number OF flies near the
kitchen which were infected with the
dangerous microbes. in addition to
these, there were also other deadly
microbes described as "srteptocoques. :"

MR.. ROCKEFELLER'S CHURCH.

OF all the disgusting newspaper phrases
we are made to suffer, the worst is 'sMr.
Rockefeller's Church" A church is, or
ought to be, Gods church. But Mr..
Rockefeller is evidently, in some minds.
at least, greater than God. Undoubtedly
the label attached to that church by the
newspapers is responsible for the recent
disturbances there. And yet church
that maintains corps of ''bouncers"
to eject men and women may not be
Gods church, but Mr.. Rockefeller's.
Bouncers 60 well with Mr.. Rockefeller's
strike-breakers and armed-to-the-teeth
private army in Colorado. Smuggling
fanatical socialists for invading a house
of worship is the complementary oppo-
site Of Christ's driving the money changer
out Of the Temple. The money-changers
have taken over the Temple and they are
probably right in using force to eject
tres-passers from the House of Him
whom we ask to forgive us our tres
passes, as we forgive those who tresspass
against us. l see that the Globe Demo-
cfot says that the Socialist agitators who
invade Mr.. Rockefeller's church are
wrong because the church is not to blame
for economic conditions. But it is. The
economic question is moral question,
and the church is an institution for the in
culcation of right morals. Wrong econ
omic conditions mean that the sufferers
from those conditions are robbed of their
rights OF the product of their toll. The
church should condemn and fight such
robbery. Agitators cannot be blamed
for actions calculated to bring to public
attention the fact that the church or
churches do not thunder against that sin
which cries to heaven for vengeance, -
defrauding the laborer OF his wages. i The
protest Of Bouck White and others is
against the church being Rockefeller's,
not Gods. Eye have made my fathers
house den Of thieves" said one long
ago. To the thieves have been added
bouncers and sluggers, in this day. Rookie
teller has inferentially asserted a sort Of
proprietorship Of GOD. The Rookie
teller church is an insult to Christianity
and logically it has no use for those who
enter 1t to call attention to the call Of the
Carpenter. Labor has no right there.

DO WE WANT THESE COND1-
TIONS?

What atrocities and savagery actual
war with Mexico would mean, is ap-
parent when the almost peaceful occu-
patton of Vera Cruz engendered feelings
of such intense hatred as is shown from
letters written to friends by members of
our army and navy. We quote from a
letter written by Sergeant John F. Ryan
OF the Marines:
'*Some bluejackets just had scrap
about half hour ago and killed six more
Mexicans. All of the murders that are
being committed on Mexieans are being
done by the bluejackets and not the
marines; so if you read about them in the
paper, do not think. that ] am implicated
in any Of them as we only shoot the
Mexicans who try to kill us. -
This is bad enough, if true, but what
shall we say to the sentiments OF William
A. Loehrl, first class gunner aboard the
battle ship Utah who writes, in part, as
follows?:
eve more than got peppered by the
Mexicans All those beasts are good
for is pot shooting. By pot shooting is
meant climbing up high buildings and
then firing down on us out of windows.
We no sooner had our battalion together
than we started in. 1t did not take long
neutrality-suspicious. goes one of our
fellows with bullet clear through his
| head. Death was instantaneous. That
worked us fellows up to a savage mood.
Kill? Right and left. We put the field
guns in the middle OF the streets and let
| fly We had mercy on nobody, which
was proper Nobody showed bit Of
:cowardice. Murder and plumber was all
I we wanted, and we more than gave it to
Them. For every one of our fellows
killed we shot down like dogs about ten
EMexicans 1t was rather hard for me to
kill at the start, but when the fellow next
+; to me was shot through the chest be-
came as savage as the rest. The fellow
that was shot next to me let out piercing
cry and died in about thirty seconds
Firing ceased at about 1915 p. m. on
+, Tuesday. We had about $50 prisoners,
OF which we contaminated about eighty
and shot them the same night. That
biz. Show no mercy is our policy now.
We took the prisoners and made them
dig trenches for us around the entire city.
Made them clear the streets of the dead
and pull around our three inchers, etc.
But we never torture them. We kill
them just as fast as they show them
selves, but never torture them. They
would torture us if they were given the
chance. We have plenty Of grub, as we
get fresh supply from the ship every
day You have no idea how fast we kill
them off. Perhaps you would like to
! know what we do with the dead ones.
We take horse and wagon and fill the
wagon with bodie, and drive to the out
skirts Of the city. There we go to an oil
tank, sprinkle crude oil on them, and put
match to the pile. Up goes the whole
