John Martin Ebeling was born at

died at his home near Collyer, Kansas,
May 21, 1918, being nearly eighty
years old at the time of his death.
Mr.. Ebeling came to America with

in at Pekin, Illinois, September 13,
1861. as a private in Co. A, 44th Ill,
Vol. Inf. He was mustered out with
the rank of 1st Lieutenant September
25, 1865, after more than four years
valiant service. Two years later, Aug
ust IA, 1867, John Ebeling and Mary
Linde were married in Chicago, and
to them eight children were born
three sons and five daughters. He is
survived by his aged companion, their
daughters, Hannah Ebeling, Mrs. J.
E Miller, Mrs. E. F. Elliott, OF Coll
yer township, Mrs. c. NJ. Krhut, OF
FIagler, Colorado; and their son, Gus
Ebeling, of Nevada, Missouri.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ebeling came with
their family to Trego county, April
25, 1879, settling on homestead in
Collyer township, and have remained
here steadfastly through their almost
forty years of faithful pioneer life
quiet, law-abiding, good, loyal Amer
lean citizens. In religion Mr.. Ebellng

a color guard and firing squad from
the Wa-keeney guards. 1nterment

friends who join with US in offering

A short time ago little contro-

ing bird returns here in the spring,
one party maintaining that the 9th
day of May is his regular schedule.
The fact is that the song of the brown
thrasher (erroniously called ''thrush')
is so much like that of the mocker that
unless one sees the bird he is apt to
mistake the one for the other This
writer has kept tab on the mocker
fer several years, noting him in Trego
county the first time in May, 1896.
Since then he has been first observed
on the following dates:

ORIGIN OF WORD "ROORBACK''
paign Lie, of Which James K.
Polk Was the Victim.

In 1874 James X. Polk was nOmG-
mated by the Democrats for president.
After the nomination the Albany Jour
nal published what purpOrted to be
an extract from ROOrback's Journal
Of trip through the South, repre-
Sented to have been made some few
years before, in which he told of see
ing gang Of colored men being driv'
en- to the southern market, all branded
y. K. p" as the property of James K.
Polk. The object was to stigmatize
Polk as a heartless slave owner. The
publication was resented by the Demo
Gratis as a forgery and a libel on their
candidate, and so it proved to be, for
it turned out that there was no such
person as ROOrback and that the pre-
tended letter was written by a disrep-
utable politician Of New York who
posed as an aboIitiOnist. The incident
caused much hard feeling and the
word roorback became a synonym for
campaign lie.

Held on Charge Of Murder.

Winston-Salem- Cromer, a
young married man, was held without
bond for the grand jury of the supe-
rior court after a preliminary hearing
in the city court on the charge Of the
murder of Robert Young in this city
during the disorder on November IT,
Young was killed by shot from a
pistol, fired while he was operating
a frehose nozzle from which water
was thrown in an effort to disperse a
mob which had gathered to attack the
municipal building with rocks and
guns.
Several witnesses were examined
and Cromer was identified as the man
seen firing his pistol toward Young.
It was shown that five shots were
fired and that it was the third one
that killed Young. Theevidence was
too clearly against the prisoner to
admit of any question as to the Of
tense being bailable or not.

Poultry Show May be Free.

Charlotte-If Mecklenburg Poultry
Club can obtain Auditorium with
out rental charges no entrance fee will
be charged for the annual poultry
show to be held January 60 and which
is expected to be the largest show
ever held in Charlotte, between 1900
and 1900 birds being anticipated.
Final arrangements for holding the
show were made at meeting Of the
club at the Mecklenburg Hotel.
Many special prizes will be offered
at thee January show, the prizes pos
sibly exceeding in number those Of
fered at any previous show here. Cash
prizes will range from 81 to SO.
When tn epremium list has been pub
lished, the special prizes and the cash
prizes listed are expected to be
means of persuading many fanciers to
exhibit their birds here, aside from
the likelihood that competition will
be such that will satisfy the desire
of poultrymen who contend that they
have the best in their breed.

The paper adds that the argument
that he cannot be punished because
there are others who also are guilty
cannot be admitted.
'By that argument" The Times
continues, "a felon caught in the act
would escape punishment because
there are other felons who have not
yet been brought to judgment, and
neither law nor common sense would
listen to such a plea.
Besides, it is proposed to punish
the kaiesr alone. There are others,
too, who will be placed On trial, but
he is the chief because most highly
criminal.
"The one argument against doing
what we can to bring this arch Grim

the Liberty concrete yard is here to
