HUSBAND SHOOTS

PROPRIETOR OF HOTEL SHOOTS
HIS WIFE IN HER ATTOR-
NEY'S OFFICE
PENDING DIVORCE CASE THE TROUBLE
w. n. Conklin Now In Jail And Mrs.
Conklin At Hospital With Flesh
Wound In Her Thigh

Monday afternoon between four and
five o'clock, w. II. Conklin, proprietor
of the Hotel Metropole, shot his wife
Mrs. Anna Conklin, through the 1eshy
part of the thigh, in the offices of Hall.
Alexander and Purdy, who are the
lady's attorneys in a divorce action
that has just been started. Mrs. Conk-
lin was taken to the Brookings hos
pital and received the attention of a
physician who reports that the injury
is not serious and she is now resting
comfortably pending the healing of
the wound. Mr.. Conklin was taken
to the county Jail by Sheriff MINER
and Officers Gullick and Connolly, be-
fore supper, where he still remains.
His preliminary hearing is set for
Saturday.
Mrs. Conklin has not been living
with her husband for several weeks
and had just started an action for di-
vorce. Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Conk-
lin, w. NJ. Cheever, his attorney, and
w. e. Purdy, II of the attorneys for
Mrs. Conklin, met in the Offices of
Cheever e. Cheever to agree on a
stipulation concerning temporary ali
mony and costs. This had been
agreed to and dictated to a stenog-
rapher. While the attorneys waited
Conklin left the Offices, went to the
office of Hall, Alexander e. Purdy, and
found his wife waiting in Mr.. Purdy's
office for his return from this confer
ence. Judge Alexander and a stenog-
rapher were in adjoining Offices. They
heard loud talk. then three shots.
Judge Alexander went into the room
through a connecting door and tried
to disarm Mr.. Conklin, who snapped
the automatic at him. Providentially
there were no more bullets inside.
The judge knocked Conklin over on
an office couch and Mrs. Conklin ran
the Economy Grocery store and told
that she was shot. A doctor was
called and she was taken at once TO
the hospital. where the nature of the
wound was found as above described.
A broken glass in a bookcase and an
other bullet imbedded in another
bookcase indicate where three shots
took effect. After the occurrence MI.
Conklin left the Offices and went to
his hotel, where he was taken in Gus
tody by the officers a short time later.
Mr.. and Mrs. Conklin have not been
living on the best of terms for some
little time past and this is the cul-
mination Of their troubles. Mr.. Conk-
lin has been a resident of Brookings
for a number Of years, coming here
from White, where he operated a
hotel. While at White he had trouble
with the miller OF the White Roller
Mills and shot at him with a rife.
AS a hotel proprietor Conklin has been
successful, stories of his life in this
capacity were collected by John Ken
drick Bangs a few years ago, and
published in the Sunday Magazine is
sued with so many Sunday papers.
"Conk" has always been an open
hearted fellow and there will no doubt
be quite a number of friends who will
be sorry that he has gotten himself
into this bad p~redicament.

1T is EVERY WONIAN'S JOB
TO WIN THE WAR

So says Mrs. Anna Steele Rich
ardson in her stirring editorial in
the August Woman's Home Compan-
ion:
1--WE must fight in our kitchens,
in our parlors, in our stores, in our
public meetings--but above all else
we must fight alone, in those quiet
hours when we write to our men at
the front, when we look into our
souls and read there the fear, not Of
war, but of personal scariiice, of Civ
ing until it hurts to give, until our
hearts bleed and our eyes dim-thlt
we may be worthy of those who die
for us.
1T is every woman's job to win
the war. And nothing must inter
fere with the accomplishment of this
magnificent task, neither personal
pride, position nor desires. We
must go without now, that we, or
those who follow us, may have in
full measure that which we Ameri-
cans have enjoyed for many genera
tions-protection peace, prosperity"

THE UNION OF CHURCHES.

The church is divided Since the
lrst schism wrought its unholy work,
spreading through the primitive
church and dividing its members into
conflicting factions, the number of
'sgcts and ~creedy fras-becoEre as the
sands of the sea. Today we find in
America nearly three hundred ac-
tive Protestants denominations as
we'll as the Roman Catholic, Greek
Orthodox, Jewish bodies and lesser
lights.
The apparent failure of the
church in this world crisis was not a
failure of Christianity. The failure
was because of the lack of true
Christianity. Had the church been
true to the Redeemer's precepts it
would have been so powerful that
with the force of its might, it could
have stayed the hand of barbarism
and brought the world to a common
tribunal of love. But it could not.
Its membership divided, its power
lessened, its influence waning, it
was helpless before the breaking
storm. The war was due, not to a
failure cs Christianity, but to a
divided churchs inability to arrest
the reaction toward paganism and
rationalism that has been going on in
Germany for four decades or more.
Christ did not ordain it so. In
his prayer in the seventeenth chap
ter of John, he prays that they may
all be one as He and His Father are
one. Andin all His teachings the doc
trine of the unity of His followers is
paramount. Paul adnomishes the
newly coverted heathens not to fol-
low after Paul, Apollos, or other
men but to follow Christ
If the church is to assume the
responsibility of reconstructing mems
minds when this mighty struggle is
over, of giving the world new
birth of freedom and create greater
brotherhood of man, il must be unit
ed-a unity of thought, purpose and
action, if not a numerical unity.
The world Conference on Faith and
Order is calling on all Christians to
observe January, 1925, of 1919 as a
time of prayer and supplication to
God for complete surrender of
creeds and tenets and perfect sub
mission to the VIII of God. This
will be observed in Christendom as
time of heartfelt prayer. Tennyson
says, More things are wrought by
prayer than this world dreams Of"
And il may be that a union will be
perfected, that they all may be
one" May the day be FASTENED.

LATE GARDEN PLANTING.

Kentucky has made wonderful
response to the Government plea
for increased GARDEN PRODUC-
TON. Loyal men and women, boys
and girls, from the mountains to the
Mississippi. have welded the spade
and hoe with patriotic fevor and sig
nal success. But the work of these
patriots is still incomplete. Many
late crops can and must be cultivat-
ed to the end that our people may in
crease to the maximum the food pro-
duction of Kentucky. Anything less
than the best effort on the part of our
citizens in responding to the impera-
tive demands of this critical hour
means added suffering TO those who
fight our battles and defend our
liberties.
FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR.
Let this slogan burn itself into your
very soul. Our Allies must be fed;
their women and children. who toll
In factory and field, must be fed;
our Soldiers must be fed; our peo-
pie here at home must be fed; and
AMERICA MUST FEED THEM!

WORDS HAVE HISTORIES.

Words are very much like peo-
pie. They all have histories behind
them. Many English words have
foreign ancestors, some French, some
Latin and some Greek grandfathers.
For example:
Dynamite is the Greek for power
Goodbye is short for God be

Marmalade is a Portuguese word,
meaning made from ounces" The
tuguese word came from two
Geek words. nell melon, which
meant "honey apple"

times people worked so hard dur

only find time to read and learn les
sons after work.

THE LIPS OF ETERNITY.

The lips of eternity are open and
the tongue of destiny is speaking.
Out of the silence of the centuries
comes the voice that is to shake the
worlds foundations. Since the muir
der of the Nazarine the cries of JUS
tice have been muffled with a strang-
ling rope of power. Kings and pot
entates have exalted princes and
/ kingdoms and the doctrine of might
has been the universal law. The
masses have writhed beneath the
CALLING yoke, waited and dreamed of
better time to be. And gradual
ly upward they have striven, guided
ever by the day star of.hope, envolv-
ing form of government that would
be rule of many and not of the few.
| Opposition greeted il on every hand
and its opponents were banished as
martyrs from the old world shores.
Slightly more than a century ago,
as the immortal champion of liberty,
Abraham Lincoln has said, there
was brought forth on this continent
a nation conceived in freedom and
dedicated to the vindication of the
rights of man. Through all its sue
cessive wars and sorrows, this has
been the beacon light that guided the
old Ship of State through all the
shoals of fortune to the tranquil
harbor of peace and plenty.
Since the inauguration Of this
peace-loving nation of freemen, the
world has been innoculated with its
doctrine of individualism; and one
by one we have seen the empires
tottering and tumbling. Kings are
quaking on their thrones. Freedom,
like the Fiery cross, gathers the
worlds children under common
banner.

like pungent odor
OF the cedars from the hill;
Each winding little pathway,
To stroll adown It still;
The clump of prickly-pcar about,
Its satin, saffron bloom;
The whippoorwill's sweet singing
In the misty evening gloom.
like the little vale no less,
The brook that purls along,
The spotted, waving sycamore,
The robin redbreast's song;
The messy ledge protruding,
The first response to Spring,
A white and dainty windfower,
The frail and tiny thing.
I Ike the rambling highway,
Dusty, white and deep;
Where fennel and the sweet fern
About its edges creep;
Where the din of grasshoppers
Is rife throughout the day,
And the cricket, lone, at night-fall
Sings its roundelay.
Where a light burns dimly
Through a curtained casemen

Locust boughs a blossoming
And waving to and fro;
