Head Request for Amnesty
Refusal

Minneapolis, July. 80. Taking
issue with John G. Emery. national
commander of the American legion,
who yesterday protested in the name

that release of Debs would be inter
preted as license to disregard claw

Christensen

Last fall the house of A. Hanson
AT Vatlo, burned-that is it start
ed to burn. but the Veblen fire de-
partment was on the job and put
the fire out before the building was
consumed. There were suspicious cir
cumstances and the authorities COM

about that time. About two weeks
ago he returned to Veblen. In the
meantime Hanson had moved to
place twenty miles east of Roslyn.
Saturday Sheriff Christensen brought
both Hagen and Hanson to Britton

house to collect the insurance. Han
son claimed Hagen hired him to fire
the house for $40, but claimed he
was not paid the money. He plead
guilty and was sentenced at Webster
to one year at hard labor in the
county Jail. Hagen was bound over
to the next term Of circuit court un-
der bonds Of $4,000, which he has
been unable to furnish so TAR. Hagen

CoMMENDS BAKERY

From the standpoin of an inspec-
tor 1 wish to commend the general
appearance and sanitary conditions
which prevail at the City Bakery,
Sisseton, S. D., under the efficient
supervision of the manager and pro-
prietor Mr.. D. B. Mahoney. This is
one Of the cleanest and best kept
bakeries in my territory, and the
people of Sisseton are to be con-
graduated on having bakery in the
city so we'll equipped and managed
to take care of the needs Of the COM

it is the sincere belief Of the writer
that every establishment maintained
under such ideal conditions should
receive due mention and worthy
praise.

ITEM IN FUNERAL BILLS


Those New York undertakers never
overlook anything that has the odor
of money. An officer at Fort Jay,
Governors Island, charges that
many of those who advertise burial
of soldiers by contract are including
the firing squad. furnished by the
government free of charge. as an
item of expense to their customers.
These undertakers, in contracts with
relatives of dead soldiers, stipulate
that for certain amount they will
furnish the hearse, carriages and a
firing squad at the grave. Refusal Of
the officers at the fort to furnish a
firing squad brought to light these
facts.

SuLLY YET MISSING

Gregory, S. D.-The race horses
which Frank Sully took to New Mex
leo last fall. and which turned up re-
Gently at Omaha, in the hands of
stranger. have been recovered by the
United States government and turn
ed over to the Sully family But the
whereabouts of Frank Sully still re-
mains mystery For many years he
was one of the most prominent
horse and cattle raisers of this sec
tion of the Rosebud country.
Soon after arriving in New Mexico
with his horses. he dropped from
sight and his relatives have been un-
able to locate him since that time
The horses also were lost track of
until they appeared at the racing cir
cult at Omaha. Here they were found
by one of the Sully boys. The man in
charge of them rad bill of sale for
the horses. the terms of which pro-
vided that this party was to get
Frank sully out of Old Mexico where
he was held captive by band OF
bandits.
Evidently the bill of sale was
frsudulently secured as Frank sully
was not released. Further, it is stat
ed that the horses were branded with
me I'D" brand, of the Indian depart
ment, and they could not be dispos-
ed Of without consent Of the proper
Indian agent. which had not been se-
cured.
Every effort is now being made TO
locate Frank Sully.

PHONE RAISE PROTEST
TAKES LEGAL PHASE
Four Counties Would Halt Proposed
Increases

jackson, Miss, March 9.-For the
moment, at least, the interest of Mis-
sissippians has shifted from the in
surance case to that of the Cumber-
land Telephone Company, on the or
der of the railroad commission in
creasing its exchange rates.
Attorney General Robertson has re-
ceived notice from the counties of
Holmes, Jones, Monroe and Chicka-
saw of intention to proceed at once
in the courts to resist the increase
in rates. The city of Natchez has
also served notice of intention to con-
test the rates.
Letters reaching Attorney General
Robertson daily urge that he take
legal steps to enjoin the Cumberland
from enforcing the increase and
pledging cooperation. Tate county
sent in today strong protest. Some
| of the communications received state
that resolutions are being prepared
for general circulation, calling for
designations in connection with the
tmatter.
There is a movement here to pre-
pare and circulate at an early date
an initiative statute to require the
Cumberland and the Independent
lines in the state to make physical
connection for interchange of service,
both local and long distance. This is
matter that has been several times
fought out in the legislature, but al
ways has resulted in victory for the
Cumberland. With such PHYSICAL con-
nection, the Cumberland and indepen-
dent lines would be consolidated into
one general system, and the subscrib-
er of an independent line. though only
a local.line, could secure long distance
connections over the Cumberland
lines.

Joseph Rounserville McLarty, bet
ter known as Esquire }. II. McLarLy,
and famlllarly called by those VINO
know nm best, ''Uncle joe" was
born in fontotOc county, MISS, Marcn
10, 1915; died at the nome or daugn-
ter on Woodson's Ridge. tebl uaiy 10,
1871, IN the 16tn year OF MS age.
he was happily married TO Miss
Mary Ann Slaughter OF tennessee,
February l, 1866, and Tor 55 years
they walked together in perfect unity
and unalloyed bliss, rearing family
OF five daughters and one son, all
God-fearing citizens, who today re-
we're the name of their pious parents.
When as young bride came into
the Mt. Zion community to cast my
lot among strangers, Uncle Joe Nc
Larty was among the number | first
met, and soon discovered in him a
wise counsellor and true friend-for
indeed for thirty years he was my
friend, and because of this fact, it is
easy for me to extol his virtues, but
to pay tribute to the nobility and lof-
tiness of his sanity soul | am not
capable. His life was crystal clear,
embellished by great simplicity,
humble, gentle and guileless as a lit
tie child and yet strong and towering
in transparent Christian character
Like Little Sir Gallahad" "His
strength was as the strength of ten,
because his heart was pure"
Uncle Joe loved everybody and ev-
every body loved him. There was no
faint of the autocrat in his makeup
and things polite and diplomatic
were too mean and small to find lodg-
ment in his unselfish heart. His life
and dealings with his fellows was an
open book known and read by all
men-therefore he made no enemies
and lost no friends.
He was a Confederate veteran and
faithful and true to every trust i'm
posed in him by country, family,
friend and God.
He was affectionately called the
"Moses" of the Mt. Zion church and
Sunday school because of his faithful
ness and sane leadership. Nothing
but physical disability kept him from
church and Sunday school attendance
and often | have known him to walk
several miles after a strenuous week
of hard labor in order to be in his
place on the Lords day-always man
ifesting a serene and placid spirit.
For years he has been a familiar
and, as many of US felt, an indispen-
sible figure at the old Oxford camp
ground, which to him was a sweet
and blessed resort. We shall never
forget his earnest talks marked by
bits of wisdom and his humble pray
ers of childlike faith and trust in
God. At the last campmeeting, al
though in great feebleness of body,
he gave strong and convincing testi-
monv to his abiding faith in Him who
beareth all of our infirnities, and
healeth all of our diseases. and begged
that we bother not about his physical

A Bit of History of CeylOn

Ceylon (Se-lon), an island belong
ing to Great Britain in the Indian
Ocean, about sixty miles southeast Of
the southern extremity of Hindustan,
from which it is separated by the
Gulf of Manaar and Palk's Strait
Length about 270 miles, north to
south; average breadth 100 miles;
area, 1882 square miles.
Where the jungle has been cleared
away and the land drained and cult
waited, the country is perfectly healthy,
where low wooded tracts, and flat
marshy lands abound, covered with a
rank luxuriant vegetation, the climate
is eminently insalubrious.
Most of the animals found on the
opposite continent are native to this
island, excepting the royal tiger,
which does not exist here. Elephants
are numerous and are esteemed for
their superior strength and docility.
Bear, buffalo, leopards, jackals, mon.
keys, and wild hogs are numerous.
Crocodiles, serpents, and reptiles of
all sorts abound. Of the. snaketribe,
consisting of about twenty-six differ
ent species, six only are venomous.
Among the insects are the leaf anG
stick insects, the ant-lion, the white
ant, etc.
In the luxuriance of its vegetable
productions, Ceylon rivals theIndian
Archipelago, and in some respects
bears a strong resemblance to them:
it's most valuable products are tea,
rice, coffee, cinnamon, and the cocoa
nut. Tea is being widely cultivated.
Tobacco is raised principally in the
north district, and is of excellent quail
ity. Indigo grows wild, but is not
sought after.
Ceylon is one of the British crown
colonies, its government being con-
Quoted by governor and two coun-
ellis, executive and legislative, of both
of which the governor is president.
The first is composed of five mem
bers, the other of seventeen members.
The powers of the councils are i:ri-
tied, being wholly subservient to the
governor, who can carry into effect
any law without their concurrence.
All laws must be approved by the
Secretary of State for the Colonie
before they can take effect. Any it,
dividual properly qualified may be APP
pointed to the most responsible stu

ton, or religion, and native Singhaese

condition, but think only of his afflic-
tiOns as being a means to work out
for him a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory" and to pre-
pare to meet him in the great Camp
meeting above.
In spite of his long and tedious i'll
ness he maintained to the last remark
able faith and trust, and praise OF
sOul-and went home shouting victory
and waving goodbye to loved ones
Whispering sweetly to his devoted
wife, "Mollie, if it is Gods will may
you come soon. Stay by me, for
am going home and if you are here
I'll take you with me if | may"
1t was my exalted privilege to visit
him few weeks before he went
home, and to sing for him some favor
lite, songs that we had used in oul
services in years gone blythe I'm
cloudy Day." "I'm Abiding in the
Lord" and "When the Roll Is Called
Up Yonder I'll Be There" all OF
which brought him great comfort
and his tears flowed freely as we
sang.
We may sing of receptions in
heaven,
When the faithful ones here
cease to roam;
But we know Gabriel's host
shouted "Welcome"
When dear Uncle Joe reached
