Editor Stabs NOtorlo

Bob Lyons, in an encounter
with Circuit Judge Frank Divel-
bliss Monday, at the Court House
in Richmond. Lyons says the
Judge was waylaying him in the
corridor. Lyons, editor Of the
Conservitor opposed Dlvelbiss for
Congress, supporting Alexander.
Formerly great friends, they
became estranged. Recently
Lyons published an editorial
attacking the grand jury, assert
ing that it indicted the little fell
lows and let the big ones slip
by. The judge was incensed,
according to the editor. Lyons
says Divelbiss waited outside the
Circuit Clerks office and without
a word jumped him, getting him
down. He managed to get from
under. Divelbiss downed him
again. Lyons says a knife drop.
ped from one of the judges pock-
ets- He got it and stabbed II
times, s in the stomach, 8 in the
chest and l behind left ear. He
is in a critical condition. They
were separated by Circuit Clerk.
Judge Frank Divelbiss has been
regarded almost in the light of
a freak jurist for several years.
He refused to let a lawyer, dis
family related, to practice before
him. He sought publicity in
search for tax dodgers, going to
st. Louis to advise how to catch
them. A pretentious prohibi-
tionist, he banished an illegal
seller of whiskey or its imita-
ton, from the county with order
never to return. Numbers of
such freak performances indica-
ted that he was playing cheap
politics and when he ran for
congress, his design was confirm.
ed. 1t has been apparent to all
for some time that Divelbiss
played to what he conceived the
popular side. He says Lyons
attacked him first. Lyons says
he is sorry that he had to SC
punish the judge.

STORMS EVERYWHERE
Property and Life Loss Heavy
From Texas To Iowa
Continuing

For the past two days heavy
storms have passed over portions
of Texas, Oklahoma and Nebras-
ka and tho not so destructive
in Iowa. Reports say that as
many as a hundred people were
killed by storms in Texas and
Oklahoma Wednesday evening
and night.
Heavy SHOWS have fallen,
wires are down and hundreds of
homes wrecked. Omaha had a
very destructive storm last Sun
day. Canaan, a cotton town in
Oklahoma, is said to have been
blown off the earth.
The damage to growing crops
cannot be estimated, nor can the
loss of life be arrived at on ac-
count Of the wires.
Weather reports do not encour-
age the belief that the worst has
come. Much concern is felt for
fruit and early vegetables, the
temperature falling each hour.

A travelling man in a Ford

Farmers Bank. Yesterday
morning when he went for his
buzz wagon, he found that a new
tire, nearly all tools, a lap robe
and some other things had been
taken from the car. He set chief
Steve Gordon on the trail. Steve
followed footprints and tracked
the thief to a loft not very dis
tant and recovered the missing
articles. He has not as yet, fig
ured out the man from his foot
prints but is confident that he
will land him. Or the same if it
be a boy. Sneak thieves will
have rough shedding here, night
or day. for a while at least.

PRESIDENT TO RETURN
Conference in Action Accordingly
Ex-Kaiser May Be Tried
Agreement Doubtful

Since two of the main obstac-
les to an agreement on the con-
stitution for a League of Nations
have been settled, the way has
been made clearer for final act
ion. Nations see their individual
interests affected unproftably
by. terms proposed and still hag-
gle for more than they can get.
President Wilson summarily
ordered his ship, The George
Washington sent to Brest and
made ready for his very early
return. This decision gained
the purpose of it and action was
speeded up by delegates. Foreign
press critics American repre-
sentatives to brighten their coun-
try,s prospects.
Yesterdays dailies differed on
the subject of the trial Of ex-
Kaiser William, some saying he
would not and others that he
wonld be, tried for bringing on
the war.
President Wilson had a light
attack of flu out is up and about
again. He will insist on chang
es in the constitution agreeable
to American views, tho not ac-
cording strictly in any sense
with the recommendations OF
Elihu Root or Senator Reed.

Daylight DarnfOOlery

The pin head that first con-
ceived that there could be bene-
fit to our country by moving
clocks back an hour has his inn
ings again in the assinine order
to move them ahead of every
thing on earth and in the sky.
Sun, moon, stars and Irl Hix
have been regulated by the sill
liest faddest of all in this coun-
try. Human desire to eat has
been held back or set forward
by the whim of a gastronomic
dyspeptic and scientific thumb
twaddler and congress adjourned
leaving the arrangement as he
made it.
If the silly provision for saw
ing was followed generally wo-
men would suffer more than any
other with farmers and stock a
close second. Think of it for a
moment, feeding stock a little
past midnight and during the
middle of the afternoon. For
tunately the farmer pays no
attention to the foolish fad un-
less to make a train. Churches
and Sunday schools are feeling
the effect of the hour advance
in time and small children will
never recover from the stunning
they would have if the rule was
continued any length of time.
Two weeks of it now and can
any one see the least advantage
derived from it? True, the elect
ric light juice makers say that
their meters are some short and
Old Sol may have just cause to
complain of the loss of some of
his rays, Luna that she is cut
short on late gazers and Jupiter
and Venus, our beautiful even
ing stars that they no longer
stir the muse. The only real
human beings on earth who seem
to care not a darn about the hour
ahead are school teachers,
preachers, recent Benedicls aud
barn yard ROSTERS. When will
the world be rid of punk.heads
posing as appropriations?

Newsprint Price Stand

The fact that nearly one thous.

the same fix, in little more than

not argued, to fix responsibility
and establish the utter want OF

among printers. Hundreds who

that because they do all their

wife. daughters, sons and con.

paper for less than others who
need to employ labor, do job

Berlin, July 17.-(By Telegraph
From N. Y. World, Copyright 1.-The
entire staff of the famous Schuetzen
corps has been placed on the retired
list, one Of its brigades having been
assigned to Hamburg, and another
will go to >Westphalia, the third re-
maing in Berlin.
The entire corps will be controlled
as an integral part of the reorganized
republican reichswehr.
This disposition of the corps, which
did more than any volunteer organi-
cation TO put down revolutions,
strikes and spartacism in Germany,
marks an important advance by the
government, for It has furnished
propaganda material, fiercely charg-
ing the German republic with in
gratitude and otherwise fomenting
discomfort.
Socialists see In the complaints of
the reactionaries proof that the mill
tarists had planned to use the new
republican army as breeder for
monarchism, and they have been
checkmated by the government and
are discounted.
Germany's unstable equilibrium
continues. new troubles developing as
fast as old ones subside. Berlin was
hardly relieved by the collapse today
of the street car and subway strike
when 1t was menaced with a milk
strike. Spartacist agitators have been
successful in creating disaffection
among the milkmaids and other dairy
hands in the provinces. The govern
ment is even more worried over the
