a deal as Sears Roebuck & Co. gives
me. They bring their catalogue to our
home and in our comfortable room and
pleasant lamp light we make out our
order for supplies and in Is days re-
ceive our goods as ordered. We don't
need take a man out of the field to
simply hold our horses in this time of
high priced labor that Mr.. Smallwood
did not mention. So hats off to Sears
Roebuck & Co. for that privilege. I
find this to be the sentiment of all
farmers and farm women in driving

If Minot will give us respectable

feel confident that Mr.. Smallwood

10000 MEN NOW ARE AT
FUNSTON
Last Contingent of 1899 From Ne
braska and South Dakota
Arrive.

Camp Funston, Kas., Oct. 8.-The
last of the third contingent of the Ma
tional Army, 1898 men destined for
Camp Funston, arrived today from
Nebraska and South Dakota.
The ground was covered with glis-
tening frost as the men piled off their
special trains There was bite in
the atmosphere, and guards and re-
ceiving officers on duty all wore
overcoats and sweaters. Very few
of the men wore overcoats and they
were shaking with the cold.
With the addition of the two con-
tingents today, there are now ap-
proximately 10000 drafted men in
camp. The remaining IS per cent arc
due in about 10 days.
The boys from Nebraska and South
Dakota didn't get thawed out until
noon, when the old Kansas sun came
out as usual, and drove the frost
away. Shortly after arriving in camp
they were given the usual shower
bath, They reported that the bath
was more like plunge IN an ice-
water tank than shower.
a delegation of Mennonites from
South Dakota has reached Camp
Funstonv and has conferred with Maj.
Gen Leonard Wood, commander, in
an effort to get members of their re-
ligious sect drafted for army service,
and now at Camp Funston, out OF the
service. Gen. Wood, it was said, has
taken the matter up with authorities
at Washington.
The Mennonites AT the camp were
certified by the district boards of
South Dakota as noncombatants, but
the Mennonite leaders brought out in
their conferences with Gen. Wood
that they wish to get them out of the
service entirely.

CARTER TELLS OF KIDNAP-
PING KEET BABY
Man Accused With Claude Piersnl
And Others Turns States
Evidence.

Webster County Courthouse,
Marshfield,, Mo-, Oct. 8.--Dick Car
ter, under arrest as an accomplice OF
Piersol in the abduction scheme.
turned states evidence this after
noon. He made a clean breast OF
the whole affair. But Carter's con-
fession was only one of a number o:
surprises.
As Carter was led from the office
Of Sheriff Ward Mackey, he was met
by Mrs. Josie O'Connell, and the two
were married by Probate Judge J. 4.
Clifton in the presence of the news
paper correspondents and attorneys
for both sides in this case.
Then Carter, expressing the fear
his life would be the forfeit exacted
by Piersol when the latter learned of
the confession, pleaded that he he
put in a cell far removed from the
man charged as being the leader of
the abduction gang.
His request was granted, and to-
night he slept in the woman's quar-
ters of the jail.
1t had been expected by Paul M.
O'Day, Prosecuting Attorney Of
Green County, where Baby Keet was
kidnapped, Carter would finally de-
eide to accept clemency for himself at
the expense of Piersol and the others
said to be implicated in the crime,
but it was not believed he would con-
fess this early in the proceedings.
1t was through Charles Williams,
awaiting trial for murder, who has
been a prisoner in the same cell with
the Piersol crowd, that the State
learned Carter wanted to talk. O'Day
cleaned information which he be-
lieves will be of value as the prose-
cution progresses.
Carter and Williams became in
innate in their cell. They confided in
each other. Carter admits he told his
story to Williams. Through Will
Jams it reached Piersol, so Williams
says, and Piersol threatened Carter's
life. This frightened Carter so thor
oughly he determined suddenly e,
make clean breast of his part in the
