AMATEUR WORK
The kinsman Home Entered
Sunday Exening. Small
Change Taken,

While q. 5. kinsman and wife
were at church last Sunday even :
ing. some amateur or amateurs
entered the kinsman home here.
by removing Il screen at one of
the bed room windors. The screel
had been loosened at one side to
clean out the window. so an easy
entrance was gained. The house
was given a complete ramsack-
ing as every drawer and shelf
gave evidence, but money was
their object.
The only find they made, was
ii pocket book containing between
six and seven dollars and kew
to the W. C. T. L. Library which
is located in Labaree's general
store.
A visit was made even to the
back porch where the refrigator
is located and evidently being
hungry for fruit, purloined can
which was there.
1t shows the work of an amateur
by the fact that no other valusbles
were taken in their search through
the house and the visit to the ice
box. 1t has been sometime since
any amateur work of this kind
has happened in Julesburg so
it is possibly local talent. A close
watch is being kept, and if any
other attempts are made, the cuI-
prits are liable to be landed. A
trip to the reformatory or peni-
tentiary would be in store and
the disgrace would last thru life.

Methodist Episcopal Church

A Memorial service was held
last Sunday morning in which
the choir sang u patriotic anthem
and the pastor preached Il sermon
fitting the OCCASION. The text was
He being dead, vet speaketh. "
and the subject dwelt upon the
message which the generation of
from 81 to So gave to this gener-
atior.
The Womsn's Home Missionary
Society will hold their regular
meeting with Mrs. DR.. Cook and
in connection with their regular
work will hold a parcels post sale.
All the ladies and gentlemen of the
church and congregation are invit-
ed to come and bring a package
worth ten CENTS wrapped as for
mailing.
The measles which are sweeping
the community at Froid have caus-
ed the revival meetings to be in
definitely postponed.
Through the influence of ". e.
Essart the pastor received an in
vitation to preach at Scottsblutf.
Neb., on Sunday June l1th, the
pastor of that church being away
on q vacation. On Monday even
ing the official Boa I'd granted the
pastor a leave Of absence for that
day. In view of the Dedication
of the new church at Ovid, there
will be no morning services. The
Childrens Day program will be
given in the evening.

 As a wife, mother and as a faith ful friend, she was an example, and it is not too much to say that she was identified with every good work in her home, her church and her community. We commend her family to the tender care of Him who sustains and binds up the brokenhearted and welcomes her Into the dawn of a glad resurrection Into the house of unbroken affection, Into the joy of her Lord''

ONLY SHADOW OF
 FORMER GREATNESS
By Clio Harper.

Now truly hath the sceptre depart ed from Judah. The Democratic State Convention in session here this week Is only a shadow of it's former greatness. Time was, and that not so many years ago, when the state convention was supreme. Now it is wholly subordinate to the people, who nave dlyested the convention of prac- ucalIy all its powers and preroga- tives.
 For several weeks 1t had been clear mat Dr. Brough, through his friends, would dominate the convention. Aside rom some selfish interests that fore saw advantages to be gained in polt- cal alignment of the future, it was generally conceded that the new ad- "hlStrauon should be unhampered in '"rrylng out its policies of govern '"eht' that they might be given a full anu Tree trial as to the soundness of ''S prnclples. Dr. Brough's friends are predicting that his administration "'tl De constructive and progressive.
