woman when the verdict was read.
Shrieking and screaming she threw

from him. Four officers carried her
to police patrol and she was taken
to her cell.
Hadley received the verdict calmly.
Il am not guilty, knew nothing Of a
plot to kill Giles, yet, am satisfied.
Had they taken me back to Texas
they would have killed me anyway. l
am glad they gave me life and am
glad they acquitted Ida"
The county authorities would not
say what would be done with Mrs.
Hadley, There is pending agaiAst her
q charge of assault with intent to>hkIl,
arising from an attempted jail break

seriousness.

ated the jury for acquitting Mrs. Had

mania.

deserved. He went to the leader and
made this proposition: If the band
would play concert each Tuesday
evening at the Majestic the profits Of
the show of that evening would be
paid over to the band organization.
The proposition was accepted, and
the money from the Majestic has as
sisted materially in the maintenance
of the band.
Mr.. Rogers has been in control Of
the Majestic over a year, and he is
making success of 1t. He is pro-
gressive in business. He believes in
giving the very best to his patrons,
and few months ago secured the ex-
elusive right to use the Paramount
pictures, furnishes good vaudeville
the last three nights of the week, and
when the show is on the patrons
have the privilege of hearing about
the classiest music from the orches-
ira pit that is produced anywhere in
the west.
There are hundreds Of business in
situations that contribute to the sue

terprises, but few of them go SO far
as to give over days profits, little
or big to help worthy institution.

We have in this issue couple Of
articles relative to the constantly in
creasing cost of print paper. These
articles are not run as bluff or an
excuse to raise any prices, but are
written by men who understand the
conditions of the paper market at
this time. Look them over and then
don't be surprised il your next job
of work is little higher than for
merly.
The long expected drive of the
Allies has finally been started and to
judge from reports it is proving al
most as effective as President Taft's
steam roller at the 1912 convention.
Kaiser Bill is liable to get the fierce
looking ends of his famous military
moustache clipped off few inches
before this drive Is stopped. II it
would only bring about the end Of
the European war 1t would be worth
all 1t cost.
The past few days have been a fair
sample of real summer weather
Monday and Tuesday the heat was
almost unbearable and the balance
of the week had considerable room
for improvement. AS yet none of
the row crops are suffering for rain
and the hot weather has given the
farmers a good chance to take care
of the wheat crop, but a good shower
right now would cool things and be
big relief to suffering humanity.
We hope the Chamber of Com
merce and councilmen will get to-
gether and frame up a better deal
on the parking of cars than the or
dinance now in effect. Standing the
cars in the middle of the street is
getting to be quite joke and nuis-
ance, and more desirable method
should be worked out. Prohibiting
cars to be parked on Kansas avenue
entirely would be preferable to the
system now in vogue.

assurance of $67.5O a month as long
as he lives, but his pay in the army
during his service has constantly
been increasing and, his pay being
clear, he has undoubtedly saved
quite an amount during his thirty
years. service, so that when he re-
tires he will have sufficient to enable
him to engage in any business. He
never has to work unless he wishes
to.
A young man enlisting in the
United States army today is doing as
we'll as putting $4,000 in the bank
on his goth birthday. The monthly
pay during the first enlistment is
$500 in cash for spending money.
A bright young man, by applying
himself, may be promoted to the
rank Of sergeant during his first en-
listment, and his pay would then be
$4,000 in cash, with steady increase
for each enlistment. First sergeants
receive $4,000 in cash a month, and
correspondingly more allowances. If
the young man remains private and
enlists, he receives $500 month
during his second enlistment, and
this is increased each enlistment. He
may become an expert rifieman and
his pay will be increased by $500 a
month, $500 a month for sharp
shooter, and $500 month for
marksman.
In addition, each man is allowed a
certain amount each year for cloth
ing, and by care he can save 35 per
cent of this.
This is your chance to be examined
without having to travel long dis
lance, and see whether you have an
opportunity to go through the great
est training school in this country.
One enlistment period in the army
will give you this training.
Thousands of young men find that
the army suits them as a life career,
and served until placed upon the re-
tired list with pay for the rest of
their lives. Forty per cent of our
soldiers re-enlist. That shows sat
isfaction. Nearly a third of our SOL
diers are non-comInissione officers.
All Of the non commissioned officers
and nearly twenty per cent Of the
officers of the line of
the army were appointed from the
ranks. That shows opportunity.
We hear lots OF people say SOL
der is a nobody" They are the
outcast of the country, and always in
the way. We admit there are lots Of
bad ones, from the army to the ma
rines, but yrou will find the majority
the most worthy ever seen. Most
people coridemn d soldier when he
takes a drink or two, but does the
soldier condemn you when you stop
to take "a few? Now do not scorn
the sold Ter; but grasp him by the
hand, ftE the uniform he proudly
wears means protection for our land.
The government picks its soldiers
from rnfIlions, far and wide, so place
the soldiers as your equal, and drop
your naughty pride. When soldier
goes to battle, you cheer him on his
way, you say he was hero when
in his grave he lay. The hardest bat
tie Of a soldier is in the times OF
peace, when you laugh, and scorn
him, and treat him as a beast. I will
now close this and hope I don't Of

treat him as a friend.
