RICH COUPLE SLAIN
JOHN p. BECKER AND WIFE
KILLED ON ILLINOIS FARM.
Pair 'Distrusted Banks and Was
Thought to Have Large Sum
in Home.

Peoria, H., Dec. lJ.-John z. Beck
err one of the weathiest farmers Of
southern Illinois and his wife have
been murdered on their 3UOO-acre farm
near Mason City.
Robbery was undoubtedly the mo-
tive. The police know that the couple
had just received $1,000 rent money
which has disappeared. In addition. u
large sum, said to have been boarded
for years by the couple, has disap-
peared. BlO0dhounds are on the trail
Of the murderer OF murderers.
The Beckers lost heavily some years
ngo In a bank failure at Pekin and
since then 1t has been known TO all
their friends that they have distrusted
banks and have been boarding their
money on the farm.
The murderers set fire to the farm
house for the supposed purpose Of
making the crime appear an accident.
But the trick failed, for the fire went
out and the bodies were found with
0kparks of violence.
Hundreds of farmers and many
sheriifs' deputies from the country
side have formed posses and are
searching In all directions.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Better to Make Many and Break Some
Than to Have Made None
at All.

It's very much the fashion to joke
about making New Years resolutions; (;
but as matter of fact there is nd
vantage in making resolutions, If they
are good ones, and there is no other
date except ones birthday anniversary
so appropriate for the practice.
That individual must be totally de-
void of sentiment who has no senti-
ment on the subject of New Year.
Jokers whose topic Is New Years res
Olutions lay stress on the fact that
many Of them are broken. A fact it
is-there is no denying it. But not all
of them are broken. A man who makes
ten New Years resolutions, every one
of them good, and breaks nine, is
better off to the extent of the virtue
involved in keeping the one to which
he adheres than If he made none at
all.
For the sake Of argument, however
perhaps 1t may be conceded that max
ing numerous good resolutions at once
Is open to criticism on the ground that
it is harder to attain perfection In
many things than in few things, and
that failures cause encouragement,
and that concentration Is helpful to
success. From this point of view the
wise thing for New Years resolution
makers to do Is to survey their fall
ings and frame q few resolutions hit
ting the high spots.

TEUTONS HOPEFUL OF PEACE
Kaiser willing to Agree to Reparatlon
Won Bernstorff Sees Another
Exchange Of Notes.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Lloyd-G Georges
speech leaves the door open for peace
This is the view Of the White House
and of the state department.
1t Is also the view Of the German
embassy, where the statement was
made that Germany would not be the
first to close the door.
With the presentation of the allies
answer to the German proposals, 1t
is believed in official circles actual
peace proposals will be under way.
ut looks to me as IL the matter
were not finished and as IL there will
be at least one more interchange of
notes." commented Ambassador Won
BernstorH Of Germany.
Germany, 1t was declared, Is ready
to discuss all of the questions brought
up by Lloyd-George. This includes the
question of reparation, without which,
the premier is quoted as saying. peace
is impossible"

Eoruet the Past.

The New Year 's the best of all times
to take mental inventory, and every.
one of us should do so. We should
forget the past entirely. All the re-
grets, all the sighs, all the tears that
ever were, or ever will be, combined,
cannot recall one single moment that
has passed. Then why waste good
time and vitality? Meet the New
Years day with brave, smiling face
The world stops to take notice of the
fighter, and gives him 80 chances out
Of 100, whereas the whimperer is
passed by without glance. Then
let us resolve that the first day Of 1917
will see us starting all over again,
standing fearlessly in our places; and
let us further resolve that during the
coming days we will, occasionally,
reach out helping hand to someona
who needs 1t. This is great resolu-
ton to make-a gilt-edged investment
that pays the highest discount on rec
ord.

REFUSE PEACE OFFER
lLoYo-GEoRoE SAYS WAR MUST
GO ON UNTIL KAISER Is
CRUSHED.
FULL PREPARATION DEMANDED
British Premier Declares Entente
Allies Do Not Propose to Put Their
Heads Into q Moose. With Ropes
End in Germanys Hands

London. Dec. 21.-Premier Lloyd
on Tuesday that II was felt that the
allies should know before entering on
negotiations that Germany was pre-
pared to accede to the only terms pos
sible for peace to be obtained and
maintained In Europe.
The premier said that without rep
aration peace would be impossible.
He declared there were no proposals
for peace. To enter into proposals OF
which they had no knowledge was 10
put their heads into a moose with the
rope end In the hands OF Germany.
Lloyd-George quoted the words of
Abraham Lincoln: "'The war will end
when the object has been obtained; un-
der God, II never will end until we
have attained this object"
Much as they longed for it. the pre-
mier added, the central powers nOte
and the speech preceding 1t. afforded
small encouragement and hope for an
honorable and lasting peace.
The premier said il was proposed to
appoint director of national service
and that all industries and services
would be scheduled as essential or nom
essential to the war.
He said:
sour answer will be given In full ac-
cord with our allies. Each of the allies
separately and independently has ar
rived at the same conclusion. l am
glad of the first answer given by
France and Russia"
He declared the allies would insist
upon a complete guarantee against
Prussian mllitarism disturbing the
peace of Europe
The formal reply of the allies. the
premier announced, will be given In
the course of few days.
I'VE will await until we hear what
than those which Germany broke.
Meanwhile we put our trust in our un-
broken army"
After declaring peace without rep
aration was impossible, the premier
asked whether "All the outrages on
land and sea" had been liquidated by
"a few pious phrases about humanity"
Speaking of the western front. Mr..
Lloyd-George referred to the growth Of
the British armies there. and con-
tinued:
II am convinced ultimate victory Is
sure IL the nation shows the same
spirit of endurance and readiness TO
th a ne
the 'front.'"
The premier said he was convinced
the Irish question wns mlsunder-
standing, and that he hoped this mis-
understanding would be removed. Set
lement of the Irish question. the pre-
mier added. would be great war
measure.
The premier analyzed the German
chancellOr's speech and then said:
"Without reparation, peace is i'm
possible. Moreover, what guaranty Is
there that subterfuges will not be used
In future to overthrow any treaties of
peace whereinto we might now enter2
I'VE must keep steadfast eve on
the purpose for which we entered the
war. We entered II to defend Europe
from aggressions Of the Prussian mil
ltary caste. We must insist that there
be the most complete guarantees
against this caste ever disturbing
again the peace Of Europe.
ITO accept the proposals would be
to put our heads into moose. His
toric example causes us to regard this
proposal with disquiet."

NEW YEAR MEMO RlES
BY Fred Bouardus.

by freo 6ogdrouS.
oh! for an old-fashloned New Year day,
With enjoyments keen and pure.
When fun and frolic reigned supreme,
Good fellowship the lure.
AS we journeyed to the parties
Afoot, perchance by sleigh.
The atmosphere seemed laden with
Best wishes of the day.
With good old hearty handshake-
We knew were welcome grips,
Instead of the present method Of
Just touching the fingertips.
How we rnerrily danced the lancers.
Danced itNwith a zeal.
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel.
How the young and old enjoyed Il
Each in his separate way.
Youth thinking of the present,
Age of the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change, alas.
And natures will obeys,
I'll still retain sweet memories of
The good old-fashoned, ways.

ASKED TO PROTEST
PROPOSED HERD Law

A special invitation has been sent
to the oldest resident of Colorado to
attend the meeting of stockmen. bust
ness men and farmers in the Com
merce club rooms here Saturday after
noon The oldest resident of the state
is Jesse Nelson of Nine Mile Bot
tom," famous district on the Puga-
toirre, picket Wire) river, 20 miles
southwest of La Junta.
Uncle Jesse came to Colorado in
1887. He is nearing the century mark
in age, was friend and companion
and neighbor of Kit Carson and
came to Colorado with Kit Carson
on Carson's second visit to this state
both men locating on neighboring
ranches on the' Purgatoirre.
Like Kit Carson, Uncle Jesse dis
carded shoes when he left civilization
and he also, after the manner of the
early day scouts, permitted his hair to
grow. Today he is a picturesque rep
resentative of period that is now one
of the most romantic of American his
tory, the day of the Indian scouts in
the Rocky mountains.
Uncle Jesse still wears the Indian
moccasins, he stiil wea his hair
long, and he is still the erect, keen
eyed, clearheaded pioneer who was a
fit companion of the famous Kit Car
SON.
Today Uncle Jesse's hair is snowy
white but it is still curly and falls be-
low his shoulders. He seldom lelves
his fine home in the "Nine-Mile bot
,om," but the cattlemen feel that he
might be induced to take one more trip
to the big city and lend his support to
the fis hit which the cattle interests of
the state are making against the pro-
posed new herd law which they claim
threatens the existence of the business

Uncle Jesse Ne'son and Kit Carson
