ROOT SCORES BIC
Rounds of Cheers Applaud His
Scathing of President.
N. Y. Speech Greatest of His
Career, Says Depew.

New York, Oct. 6.-Three thousand
men and women shouted a thunderous
mo- at Carnegie hall when Elihu
Root asked:
shall we engage Mr.. Wilson. Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Daniels and
the rest of the Democratic admins
tration and Democratic congress to
manage our affairs the next four
years?"
Three thousand men and women
roared Right" Bully" when Mr..
Root asserted:
1.-The German government ignored
the words of the United States govern
ment in it's protest against the slaugh-
ter of Americans aboard the Lusi-
tania, not because it was ready to
fight US, but because it judged that
the men in cont,ol of the American
government had not the nerve, cour-
age, resolution or sincerity to make
their threats good"
Tempest of Cheers.
Again there was tempest of cheers
and cries of never" when Mr.. Root
demanded:
Are the American people willing
to have serious and critical affairs
during the next four years conducted
in the same watchful waiting-modi-
fled by active interference-way the
Mexican business has been con-
Quoted ?"
There were mingled cheers and jeers
as the former senator said:
Wilson has managed Mexico with
such degree of skill that both Villa
and CarranZa are our enemies and no
man in Mexico dares call himself our
friend
For nearly two hours the crowd that
packed the hall hurrahed at every
shaft hurled at the president. When
Mr.. Root finished, he was greeted with
an ovation such as he rarely has re-
ceived. The venerable Chauncey M.
Depew seized his hand and exclaimed:
1.-THE greatest speech of your ca
reer, Senatori"

1t cannot be denied that Nebraska's

The demonstration accorded his APP

declared.
1t reached a climax last night when
thousands lined the streets of Omaha

doors to hear him.
But outside of the crowds. which

MIR. and Mrs. Frantz Write From
California,

Mr.. and Mrs. David Frantz wrote
an interesting letter to the Indepen-
dent from Emuire, CAL, where they
are now living. They say in part: We
know what chilly weather is; this is
May 8 and the doors are closed and
fire feels comfortable"
Mrs. Franz says her health has i'm
proved considerable, which will be
pleasant news to her many friends.
They rented two branches" and are
raising alfalfa and have some COWS
and hogs. Mr.. Frantz thinks farming
in North Dakota is easier. They were
ready to make their second crop of
alfalfa hay. They make hay, irrigate,
then make hay again. There is only
work for the hired man during hay
making and they get 1928 per day,
but have to board and lodge them
selves. Many men can be seen daily
with their blankets packed
They add: owe have been eating
Strawberries and garden "sass' from
our garden. Gardens are irrigated
from the wells, water being pumped
by wind mills into large tanks. We
have good soft water, but not good
cold water as in North Dakota. Our
ranches consist of ten acres each,
which we rent for SIS an acre, since
the first crop of hay is off; usually
rents for $40 to S25 an acre. Each
ranch has buildings on, but one not so
good; are three miles from Empire

He burned the stack.
Neighbors grew suspicious and in

of the father in the stack Within an
hour after the discovery was made,

Instead Shi1et walked about 40

the farm. Officers located him there
and the Foster county sheriff and sew
eral citizens surrounded him as he
was blowing. He got off the pillow
and the sheriff asked if he had a re-
volver. He said he had not. He
broke away, however, and ran for two
miles towards Sell. When a farmer
pursuing him got too close, Shiflet
whipped out a gun and threatened to
shoot. Telephones were used and the
people Of the town came out to meet
the murdered. Seeing that the jig
was up he pulled out the As revolt
yer and fired a shot into his brain,
dying two hours later. The remains
were shipped to Darlington for bur-
ial.
Shif1et was % years old. He had
studied for the ministry and was
known as "the boy preacher of Car

had suffered from paresis. Before
killing his father, Shiflet had in
