don't need to say much about the
Christmas dinner. But II you have
your Christmas dinner In the country,
the turkey perhaps is one your folks
raised, or that was raised IN the
orhood-anyhow. It is pretty
likely to be native. and not a resi-
dent Of cold storage plant some
where. Or maybe you'll have a goose
or brace Of chickens. Anyway, you'll
know their pedigree. and that they're
fresh and good.
And It will be the same way all
down the line vegetables, and pies,
and everything. And cooked cooked
to turn-just long enough-just
short enough-just right.
And you will more than likely have
one thing that they won't have at the
Christmas dinner in the city, because
you know the cost Of living just now
Is mighty high. in town especially, for

In the city. In New York trainloads
Of them come down every season from

STOCKTON GULLY OF MURDER
Man Who Killed Father-in- Law Is Found Guilty of Second De- gree Murder and Sentenced to 16 Years in State Pesnsn.. Penn.

! After being out only about two
 hours, the jury in case of Roy Stock
 ton charged with the murder of his father-in-law, Elmore Britt, found the defendant guilty of second degree mur-
 der and fixed the penalty at sixteen
 years in the penitentiary. The jury
 returned the verdict last Saturday af-
 ternoon. Attorneys for Stockton im-
 mediately filed notice of appeal to the state Supreme Court.
 l This ease was one of the hardest fought in the history of the county,
 not in the length of time required for
 the trial, but in the amount of legal talent employed on both sides. Stock
 ton was represented by c. c. Hamby
 of this city, one of the most successful
 criminal lawers in the state, and was
 assisted by Steve Carrigan of Hope, also criminal lawyer or note. Till
 man B. Parks, former prosecuting at torney of this district was employed to assist prosecuting attorney L. c.
 Monroe, the trial of the case consun- ing the better part of two days. A history of the case was recounted in a previous issue of the News. The Case of William Summerhill vs. the Philadelphia Milling Company, in which the former was suing for $10,- 900 for personal injury, resulted in | the jury awarding the plaintiff $2,000. 1 Fred Mauldin vs. The Missouri Paci- fife Railroad resulted in jury award or $500. Mauldin was suing the rail- road for s10,000 damages.
 Circuit court adjuorned last Satur day afternoon, but one case is set for next Friday, that of J. B. Stone vs. Louis Suckle and w. c. Colvin.
 The suit instituted by Ben Baker against George Brown ct al for the re- covery of money alleged to have been taken at the time of the robbery last November and a joint suit against the same parties by Baker for s5,000 damages, were continued by consent. Mrs. Nancy Ann Baker, mother of Ben Baker, has instituted similar suit, which also continued by consent. The following prisoners were taken to the state penitentiary yesterday by Sheriff Steele and Deputy Cantley: Joe Ed Smith, Harry Simmons, Ward McMahan, Collie Davis and John Burks. The prosecuting attorney has reccomended that Simmons be trans fered to the state reformatory on ac- count of his being only Is years old. Prosecuting Attorney Monroe pro- bably never had a more successful term of court, viewed from this angle of the case, as the records of the court just closed show that out of a total of B criminal cases tried, only one ac- quittal was had, Prosecuting Attorney Monroe having thirty-two convictions to his credit.

Grinding the Seed Corn.

In many places the tax payers
have become so desperate over cost
of living, and rise of public expendi-
ture, that they are failing to main
tain community standards.
An illustration has been seen at
Middletown, N. Y, where the voters
for 10 years turned down school
bond issues. Over 800 children have
recently had to attend school on half
time. Finally the Chamber of Com
merce organized parades of school
children, who carried banners say
ing, 1--WE want seat in school," By
a whirlwind campaign it carried the
school appropriations on a two to
enc vote.
Whatever else falls off, the schools
must never be allowed to go back
ward. The taxpayers of DEBORAH may
grumble at their assessments. But
the Public Opinion has faith to be-
lieve that the school children will
never have to parade here to get
their school houses. Skimping Oh
education is grinding the seed corn.

Spiritulistic Investigations.

In former years the people who be-
came Interested in spiritulistic in
investigation were largely of sim
pie minded and confiding type. Many
OF them were credulous, easily mis-
led by alleged mediums who had a
vivid imagination and ready guessing
powers.
During recent years many scientif-
ic men have taken up this form of
study. Some of them believed they
have had genuine spirit messages.
Among them is Sir Oliver Lodge,
whose lectures are drawing great
crowds in this country.
The reported messages of spirits
seem often to be too trifiing to be
characteristic of the friends who
have passed on. Yet the subject is OF
profound interest, worthy of the most
scientific investigation. II addition
al proof can be established of life
beyond the grave, it will comfort
aching hearts.

PROOF FROM CRESCO.
Cresco Citizens Speak Out Publicly

In Cresco we find that people are
praising Doan's Kidney Pills as high
ly as here in DEBORAH. Being so near
by, the statement of a Cresco resi-
dent is of particular interest. Decor
ah people will do well to profit by
the experience Of
H. NJ. Belts, farmer, Route No. 2,
Cresco, Iowa. He says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
the last ten years. When l catch cold
it settles in my kidneys and causes
backache. The pains were severe in

Found His Arm in Potato Car.

Charles City, Ia.-Judge Kelley
sustained the motion of the defend
arts and took from the jury the case
OF Joseph Kilby VS.. the Charles City
Western railway in which plaintiff
asked $4,000 for the loss of an arm.
Kilby was a brakeman on the
Charles City Western. His arm was
torn from his body when the freight
ran into some cars which, breaking
loose, came down from the side track
onto the main line. The arm was not
found until the following day and
was then discovered in a potato car
which had been broken open in the
impact.
Kilby settled with an insurance
company for $4,000 and then later
claimed he did not realize what he
was doing when he signed the set
Element. The court held that neither
fraud or undue influence had been
used in obtaining his signature and
that it was partially through his
negligence that he sustained the &C
c;dent.
Plaintiffs attorneys state they will
appeal to the Supreme court.

Gambling Debt Yields Interest to
the Loser.

Webster City, Ia.-Gambling debts
are illegal and cannot be collected
even though an innocent third party
cashes a gamester's check upon

A jury in this city has just decid-
ed this point in case brought by the
Security National bank of Mason
city against B. r. McCue and Chas,
Beard.
McCue gave Beard two checks
one for $40 and one for $50, which
he alleged were gambling debts and

Babies Found in Streets.

Council Bluffs, Ia.-Is there a
baby farm in Council Bluffs The
Police and public are somewhat agi-
tated over the frequency with which
bodies of babies have been found in
the streets and in out-of-the-way
places. Less than a week ago wo-
man found cat dragging the body
of baby along the ground, and yes
terday a fully developed baby was
found by J. Walker as he was return
ing from work. The body was wrap
Jed in newspaper and was lying on
the sidewalk and could not have been
placed there very long before, as
many people are accustomed to pas
sing that way and no one had seen
it. The body was turned over to the
coroner. There have been other such
cases in recent years.

Had Thumb Torn OF.

Allison, lat seems as though

one John McClaren, 10 years old, OF
Bristow.
Several years ago he was stricken
with infantile paralysis which left
mis- left arm useless. BY using hook
on the arm, however, he was able to
do some kinds of work but yester-
day while adjusting a pump jack
his right hand came in contact with
the cogs and the thumb on that
hand was literally jerked out by the
roots, the cords to the elbow, being
pulled out.
The boy did not realize that the
thumb was gone until he picked w
the glove containing it.
He intends to get good educa'
ton; he has concluded that he viii
have to use his head and not his
