From far off Italy to a ranch in the

that is the trail that an Italian fol-
lows to avenge himself on a fellow
countryman, who destroys his home
in Italy. This is the theme Of "The
Law of the Range" the four-act
comedy-drama with which the Frank
lin Stock Company will open their
engagement at the Majestic, Monday,
March 9Th. The comedy is also very
strong in the play, and it is one of the
most unusual western plays ever pre-
sented, without losing the atmosphere
of the west The company absolutely
guarantees that this play has never
been presented in Liberal, as Mr.
Moles, the author, and member Of
the cast, carries with him the copy
right card for this play. which is dat

is carried for this play, as well as the
other plays presented by this COM

I. O. sEWELL

1. o. Sewell died at Mesa. Ariz., on
February %, 1917.
Mr.. Sewell was born in Springfield,
Mo-, where he remained till seven
teen years of age.
He was married to Bertha Secrest
May 25, 1888, at Galena, Kan, where
he resided till ten years ago, when he
and his family came to Liberal.
To this union were born eleven
children, five sons and six daughters,
eight of whom are living These, to-
gether with his wife and one brother,
remain to mourn his loss.
Mr. Sewell was man of splendid
health till three years ago when it be-
came evident that relief must be
found
He died protesting the faith of a
living Christ. Mr.. Sewell's funeral
was held at the First Christian church
Sunday at 8 o'clock. Rev. EASTWOOD,
pastor of the First M. E. church, con-
Quoted the service. Most appropriate
music was rendered by Messrs Mat
kins and Baker, Mesdames Thompson
and Harris, with Mrs. Hoffman at the
piano.
Mr.. -Sewell being man of wide ac-
quaintance, many Of his friends came
to pay their last respects.
Interment was made at the Liberal
cemetery.
The many friends of the family ex.
tend to them their love and sym.
patty in this, their great loss.-st
1t is not long! Not long to watch
and work and wait,
Till the glad summons comes to
join the throng
Around the Throne. Death is the
gate
Through which to pass to joy and
endless song
All no, 1t is not long.
The joys that once were mine, are now
as stars
To lure my heart from time to the
things above;
No earthly happiness the vision bars i:
My gaze must upward turn, to find
that love
Which makes the heart to
sing.
Death is no dreaded monster now to
me;
He has no terror for my heart or
mind;
He'll bear my soul to Christ; will set
it free,
Where all is Joy, and grief is left
behind
The Master is so strong.
His love will light me all the dark
some way!
OH may speak for Him, and work
and wait
In glad rejoicing, till the breaking
day
Shines through the widening space
Of Heavens gate,
And 1 am Joined to Him al
way.

MRS. SHUMATE WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER

|
Beatrice, Nebr., Feb. 26, 1917.
To The Democrat:
For "Old Times" sake 1 have con-
cluded to ask little space in your
columns.
Ten years of the best part of our
lives were spent in your midst, and
we cannot quite forget our friends
there, and as it is impossible to find
time to write to all, will try to reach
them through your kindness, should
you not consign this to the waste
basket.
The Democrat is a weekly visitor
in our home and is read with interest.
We note the advancement Liberal is
making and predict a great future
for her.
Beatrice has a population of 49,
900. is situated on the Big Blue river,
which affords water power for the
mills, also much pleasure for skating
during the winter season, and ice for
the summer. We enjoy the beautiful
scenery in and around the city, and
are pleased with our new home. All
are enjoying the best of health des-
pite the wintry weather we have had.
We have had the thermometer regis
tered 80 degrees below zero once this
winter.
Farmers and merchants are the
most prosperous people here. The
only consolation they can give the
rest of us is "eat, drink and be mer-
lry"-while we take their advice to
some extent, we do not drink any
thing stronger than water, as Nebras-
ka is dry. Land cannot be bought
here for less than $3.50 per acre. A
few days ago farm of forty acres a
few miles from here was sold for
$4,000. Another farmer sold As
hogs for $4,000.
| We have fine schools and churches
here. Some of the teachers are in
terested in DR.. Pellette's ad in the
Democrat, seeing where Humpty
Dumpty had been cured; they were
anxious to learn more of the treat
ment he received, so one of the child
rem wrote for more information and
to his delight received several songs
from him of incurables who had been
cured, such as Jack and Jill. Peter
Pumpkins wife, Jack Sprat and 9TH
ers. Already they are thinking of
changing the songs of long ago, so the
doctor may reap his reward away up
in Nebraska.
We have met some Liberal people
since leaving there. Sometime ago
we had delightful visit at the home
Of Chas. Dunlap and family at Lin
coin. They are prosperous and hap
py in their elegant home.
We enjoyed visit from L. c. Yo-
cum and wife, of Omaha. few days
ago. They are we'll and happy. Our
minds wandered back few years and
as we talked of "by-gone" days, we
were reminded of the changes Father
Time has made and how soon all the
earthly beauties end in decay.
Sincerely,
MRS. ABE SHUMATE.
