AN ALWAYS TIMELY MESSAGE
Words Of Great American Statesman
That Should Be Remembered.

1t is not by the consolidation or
concentration of powers, but by their
distribution that god government
is effected. Were not this country
already divided into States, that di-
vision must be made that each
might do for itself what concerns il.
self directly, and what it can so
much better do than a distant
authority. Every State is again
divided into counties, each to TAKE
care Of what lies within its loca,
bounds; each county again into
townships or wards, to manage
minuter details; and every ward
into farms, to be governed each by
lis Individual proprietor. We're W
directed from Washington when Il
SOW and when to reap we shou
soon want bread, 1t is by this parti-
liOn Of cares, descending in grad8
rIou from general to particular, that
the mass Of human affairs may be
oeot managed for the good and pros
perity of alL.-Jefferson.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH ENTERTAIN
MENT SUCCESSFUL.

An appreciative audience enjoyed
the musical and literary entertainment
given at the Christian church We'd
nesday evening by members Of the
church chorus and orchestra. The
program was made up Of number OF
well-selected and equally well-render-
ed numbers, both vocal and instru-
mental, and was varied enough to
please all who heard it. A playlet, "A
Fair Encounter" was admirably done
by the Misses Longfellow and Opal
Harlan, both the young ladies showing
talent far above the average The
monologue by Mrs w. Callison was
also enthusiastically received and add
ed fine touch Of merriment to the
program. Mrs. Callison, who directs
the chorus and plays saxophone In the
orchestra, besides carrying important
solo parts In the vocal numbers Is GER
tainly an accomplished and versatile
entertainer. The duet numbers by
Mr.. j. G. Eimers and Mrs. Callison
were splendidly rendered, while the
work of the entire church chorus In
the anthems and chorus numbers on
the program was most pleasing. A
vocal duet by the Misses Harlan was
another exceedingly good number, ar
tistically rendered The selections by
the orchestra were well played and
helped balance program that alto
gether made up a fine evenings en-
tertainment All who participated are
to be complimented on the general sue
cess Of the affair.

steer taken from the. range east of

that he could locate the hide and what
ever remained OF his steer A search
warrant was obtained from Justice
Skinner and the constable accompanied
by several citizens went to the prem
ises of Swadinsky where the skin,
head and feet were found buried near
the barn where the animal had been
slaughtered. Swadinsky admitted to
several parties that he was guilty Of
the offense charged.

Scales represented the defendant. Aft
er the taking of testimony was closed,

short illness, at the age of 50 years,
and was inferred In the Greencreek

Mr.. Schmidt was born in Illinois and
came to Camas Prairie % years ago,
settling at what is now Fem, and for
the past twenty years has been a resi-
dent Of the Greencreek country. Be
fore leaving Illinois Mr.. Schmidt was
united In marriage to Miss Philobena
b. Nuxoll, besides whom ten children
survive, there being six boys and four
girls, all residing near the home place.
The procession that followed the re-
mains to their last resting place was
nearly mile In length, which goes to
show that the community has lost a
citizen whose influence was felt and
whose friends were legion.
