Well Known Alliance Citizen Died Friday Afternoon at Home In tit Funeral Monday Michael Bayer, well known Alli ance business rran, who had been a resident of Alliance for the past eighteen years, died at his home in Alliance at 2 o'clock Friday after noon, December 24. Mr. Bayer had suffered from heart trouble for some time. By his side was found a dram bottle of strychnine, emptied, and It Is believed that he took the cont"nts cf the bottle unlntentoinally, when suffering great pain. Doctors .Bowman and Bellwood were called at once when the condi tion of Mr. Bayer was discovered. He was found lying on a bed In the bed room at his residence, and the atten tion of members of his family was called by his groaning. The doctors did all In their power to save his life but he died In a few minutes after their arrival. Although Mr. Bayer had been In ill health and had been somewhat mentally unbalanced since an attack of typhoid fever and the death of a little son about a year ago, the fact that he had talked with friends only a few minutes before going to his home and that he seemed In good spirits seems to indicate thai he had no intention of ending his life and that the strychnine was taken by him during a period of mental abbera tion. Mr. Bayer would have been forty eight years of age January 13. He was in the employ of the Burlington railroad v until a few months ago, when he purchased a pool hall In the Reddish building on Box Butte avenue and went into business. On Mar a. 191(5. he would have been married fourteen years. To hint rd Mrs. Bayer were born four child ren, two of whom are living. He is also survived by a stepson, John, twenty years. or age. , The funeral was held at Holy Ros ary church Monday morning and In terment was made In the Catholic cemetery. Rev. Fr. Peter Donnelly conducted the funeral services. Curd of Thnukx To the many kind friends who so thoughtfully assisted us by kind deeds and words of sympathy during our bereavement, we wish to extend our sincere thanks.

It is the custom of fon' fathers of lovely daughters to make a rush for him and offer almost any kind of bounty to secure him as a Hon-ln-law. In this part of the coun try, and more especially In Alliance, a different custom prevails, as is dis closed by a recent occurrence, where in the father of a loving son even goes so far as to offer bounty to his boy If he will marry and settle down. Judging from the recent prepara tions of this young man, he intends to "take his father up" on the' offer and he has the proper determina tion, as was shown when, upon a re cent visit to the lady in the ease he and she conspired to send her moth er to a distant point so she would not Interrupt, at least one pleasant even ing. The aromatic smell of Dlerkt lum ber Beems to determine young men on courses of this kind, and it is in deed sad there la do cure for the mal ady.

LINCOLN NEWS Detroit, Mich., Power Trust Pays . Hack Taxes to State of Nebras ka Through Secretary Pool Lincoln, Nebr., Dee. j9 (Report ed by Charles DeFrance and Hugh L. Cooper) "Administer the law with out fear or favor" is a motto which Is closely observed by the present democratic state officers. Every lit tle while evidence is found of repub lican negligence or favoritism in the past. Secretary of State Charles W. Pool baa just turned over to State Treasurer Hall a draft for $2127.60 to cover corporation tax and penalty assessed against the Commonwealth Power Co., a Nebraska company with headquarters at Detroit, Michigan, for the years 1914 and 1915. Tii.s concern might be classed as the "electric power trust", and 1914 be ing u year of political campaign, the republican secretary of state was not so active in administering the law as he was In sending out post cards of the Lincoln monument and an lnci- and so he failed to collect all the cor poration taxes. However, the Com monwealth paid $277.50 penalty for trying to evade payment of its tax. "Come across," said Charlie Pool and somewhat reluctantly they came, A brief of 29 pages has been filed lu supreme court by the attorneys lor State Treasurer Geo. E. Hall in support of his motion for a rehearing in tht case of State ex rel Rldgell vs Hall. This is the fire commissioner case in which Hall refused to coun terslgn a warrant drawn against the special cash fund, because the legis lature of 1915 did not make a specif ic appropriation of the fund. After hearing the caRe the supreme court allowed a writ of mandamus order ing Hall to countersign and pay. but before the writ was issued he axkert for a rehearing on the ground that only three of the seven Judges had concurred In the entire opinion and that vitally important points had thus been left undecided by a major itv of the court. Rehearing has not yet been allowed.

As I visit the smaller towns of the district, I find, without exception, In each locality, the evidence of the most abnormal social conditions among the boys and girls. It seems almost Impossible for us to know what Is best to be done, or what part the church can take In dealing with this problem. I will give you a specific example to Illustrate. Recently I stepped In to a railroad station of a small town to purchase a ticket. The waiting room was filled with young lads whose ages ranged from seven to seventeen or twenty. There must have been twelve or fourteen lads In the room. It was about half past nine or ten o'clock in the evening. The conversation of these young lads was most disreputable. The use of obscene and profane language seem ed to be the most natural expression of their thoughts, and there was ap parently an utter abandonment of all parental responsibility, no one seem ing to care where the boy was or what he was doing. This is a condition which Is bound to result In vicious criminals and moral degeneracy. I cite this In stance to you simply because It is a condition common to all communities so far as I am able to observe, and I travel around a great deal through out the district. It seems to be that where we have one church family of earnest. Christian people, there ought to be some way of getting in touch with these young boys and girls so that we can bring to them some better Idea's and guide them out of the drknss of their present moral blindness Into the light of purer thoughts and purer speech. Tho problems of tho small towns are far greater, In my Judgment, than are the social problems of the great er cities. This is so simply because no one soems to care or to be Inter ested. . They seem to take It as a matter of course and let it go. I attended a ball game In one of the small towns of our district. There was a very small attendance of spec tators, but the language used on the diamond by the young lads engaged In the contest was so poluted and disgraceful that It destroyed every vestigo of the true sport, and I left the grounds disgusted and dtscour aged. ' These are conditions confronting us and I do not hesitate to say that they are serious to the utmost de gree, if we are going to live In this spiritual abandonment of the youth of our country, we shall soon find ourselves in a civilization far more degraded and morally depraved than that of the Caesars In the pre-Christian Roman empire. I appeal to you as parents and as older brothers and sisters to do all In your power to rectify the sentl ir'Pt rf domestic sociability. With this God-given and divinely appoint ed agency, we ought not to depend upon the church to substitute as a corrective for the negligence which parents have shown In the discipline and education of their children. The .work of the Sunday school cannot cure these moral diseases of the com munity. We may be able In our Sunday schocls to gather In a few un tarnished little ones and give them the ln.il riiclinn for one hour In rollir- I ious things, but these conditions have L'ium so fur l)iMt it Im Hlmnut iimioHvi-i hl for us to stem the tide unlesii w become actively en Raced in the woiK of community service. We think of the horrible destrve tion of human life caused by the cr e war across the seas, but even this cannot be compared with the lows of human character and staining of bu rn, -in souls in the I reps of sin and i oral corruption which is destroy ing the very beet mar.hood and yountf womanhood in this country. We may lone our material posses sions and be able eventually to re g.iin ihnin, but the loss of character is unreclaimahle. Let us look to the interest 'of the community along the8 moral lines. My heart is constantly centered In the one desire to bring to the home life of our people as much of the real religion of Jesus Christ as Is possi ble. When once we establish the family altar and have a due respect instilled into the minds of the child ren, we are building upon sure foun dations which the storms of sin through the years can never destroy. May God help us to think on these 'hinus, and give us His blessings. Candidate for Sheriff W. L. Griffith, familiarly known as "Brown" by his many friends throughout the county, has filed for 'he nomination for sheriff on the Re publican ticket. He has a wide ac iiuaiutance and will make a good race r.r the nomination. Mrs. ehning at Deliver Mrs. W.

COLD WEATHER HERE From Hlx to Twelve Inches of Snow on the Phil oh pot Moisture on (aronnd for Next Year The last week has seen the first real cold weather of the season.
