While searching for Mrs. Clem
mons the home of Mrs. Lane, at the
corner of Second street and Chey
enne avenue, was visited. Mrs. Lane
made the following statement:
"Hayes is about twenty-eight
years of age. His mother left him
at Crawford when he was about
three years old. She left him with a
woman by the name of Janet Blue.
; He was a full-blooded Choctaw In
i dian. When be got to be a little old-
er the women be was left with was
too sporty and be was sent to the re
form school at Kearney, where be
stayed for sixteen years. He then
went to work at Lincoln for a short
time and back to school at Kearney.
I saw him first with the Curtis fam
ily at Alliance. He was a nice boy,
bad no bad habits and we took a
fancy to him. For the last nine years
; he bad made his borne with us. He
' was not married and never cared
much for women." Mrs. Lane was
! deeply affected and Hayes had been
known as her adopted son. Mrs.
Lane stated further: "1 was on the
stairs when the shooting was done,

FOPUUS AND SUCCESSFUL
Omaha Man Who Transacted Ituwi

ern Nebr. iiO Vmrs Ago
Twenty years ago Kred A. Castle
traveled western Nebraska doing
business with ranchmen, merchants
and other people who resided in this
country at that time. In recent years
be has made a great success of the
hotel business, and is now the pop
ular proprietor of Hotel Castle, Oma
ha's newest hostelry and one of the
largest in that city.
On March 20 of last year Hotel
Castle, having Just been completed,
was opened to the public. With 1!0
guest rooms it was supposed to be
large enough to meet all require
ments for some years to come, but Its
flro-proof construction, convenient
location, comfortable and well furn
ished rooms, and the popularity of
the proprietor immediately tilled it
with patrons and it was at once seen
that more room was needed.
Hotel Castle faces east on Six
teenth street. The lots In the rear
facing on Seventeenth street were
purchased ;md soon work was under
way on an addition that would dou
ble the capacity. The new structure
Is now being completed and will be
ready for occupancy within a few
days. It is also fire-proof and be
comes a part of the first structure
the same as if all had been built at
one time, the entire building now
having 300 rooms.
It is dillicult to give an adequate
description in a short newspaper
story. One needs to visit the build
ing to properly appreciate its com
forts and conveniences, and ' the
friendly and home-like atmosphere
that prevails among employees and
guests of Hotel Castle. When the
new part is put into commission, as
it will be this month, there will be
two cafes besides coffee room, a lob
by extending thru the entire building
from Sixteenth street to Seventeenth
a system of forced ventilation by
which the air in the entire building
will be changed every few minutes.
Safety, sanitation, comfort, con
venience and a cordial welcome
awaits every one who puts up at Ho-
jtel Castle when In Omaha. Mr. Cas-
tie hss put out cards on which t lie
following is printed:
Welcome ShlpM-rs
Hello, Hoys! Are you coming in,
Down to this city of gospel and sin?
'Cause if you are. Just soi( e fun to
see,
Why. come right here and hang out
with me. .
For there's none more welcome In
Castle's flat
Than the men from the range with
the Stetson bat.
Come straight from the yards. Just
as you get In,
For the rsngemen's ronis have a
place to swim.
And this place, old Hoy, is fireproof
through.
And you won't get drowned by the
fire crew.
And there is a good place to eat and
drink,
And fine large chairs to sit and think
1 And any old place you want to go.

BigDoings at Crawford
eaaaaaaaaaaaaas anowBamMaBai
Among the interesting things at the Tri-State Fair to be
held in Crawford, Nebr., on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of this
month is the finest herd of Angus cattle in the state. Also, the
committee has secured the School Exhibit from the University
Farm and this will doubtless create considerable interest.
An exceptionally good race program has been arranged
with some flnc horses entered and more coming all the time.
Crawford has an ideal place for the holding of its fair, hav
ing the City Park with a large swimming pool, lots of shade
and plenty of seats. There are swings for the kiddies to play
on and no one need be out in the hot sun. The association has
built new building and the grounds have been greatly improv
ed. The famous Savidge Carnival Company will be in Craw
ford from the 19th to the 23rd and there will be something do
ing every minute of every day. This is going to be the great
est Tri-State Fair ever held in Northwest Nebraska and Craw
ford wants everybody to come and bring all their family and
friends and spend the entire three days.
Senaltive Plant.
Leaves of the manaca palm, prob
ably the commonest forest plant In
Central America, have a queer habit
of trembling violently when no wind
Is stirring that the human faculties
ran detect, although, as no other ex
planation exists. It Is reasonable to
suppose there must be some tiny air
currents moving to which the plant
responds with extreme sensitiveness.
Talent and Character.
The difference between talent am!
character Is adroitness to keep the old
and trodden round, and power and
tourage to make a new road to new
tnd better goals. Character makes ar
overpowering present: a cheerful, de
termined hour, which fortifies ail the
company, by making them see tha
much is possible and excellent that
was not thought of. Emerson.

Cntche Mall Order Trade
The business known as the People's
Exchange at Gordon is unique in
many ways in the buying of stocks of
merchandise and selling the same to
customers, many of whom have In the
past been mail order patrons. The
proprietor of this business is Hay O.
Lyon, who for seven years was post
master at Gordon. In the postoffice
lie learned who the mailorder patrons
are in Gordon and surrounding coun
try, and the volume of business sent
the mail order bouses through the
postoffice alone. He says $4 9,000 was
ent the mall order houses from Gor
don In one year, and this buslnes be
determined to try to hold in Gordon
when he quit the postoffice. This
Change In bis business came about 2
I years ago, when he opened the Peo-
J pie's Exchange. Since that time Mr.

would be In great danger, and the
Spirit was not forbidding but only
teaching him for he knew Paul had
a great work to do In Jerusalem, and
that he only could do It. Everywhere
Paul went he "searched for" (v. 7)
disciples, with whom he tarried and
whom he enlightened in the way of
truth. Arriving in Jerusalem, he ap
pears to have made his home with
Mnnson. outside of the crowded city,
thus being less exposed to danger and
finding a place of rest. At a public
reception (v. IS) Pnul reports of his
work, and no doubt he laid his strong
est emphasis on what God had
wrought through Mm, among the
churches of Asia. The lenders of the
.Terusnlein church received the gifts
Pnul brought from the Oentlle
churches, glorified God for what he
had accomplished, but saw clearly
that, to accomplish his statesmanlike
purpose, something must be done to
make clear thnt the false reports as
to Paul's teaching were discredited
(vv. 20-22). They therefore resorted
to diplomacy (vv. 23-20). To the
many thousands of Jews gathered on
this festival occnslon In the city,
some of whom were real on s for the
law. they declared first that Paul
taught Hll the Jews which were among
the Gentiles not to forsake Moses;
second, thnt he bud not taught them
not to wnlk after the customs of
Moses. The facts were Paul obeyed
the Jewish ceremonial laws person
ally, n a matter of race, not as a
condition of salvation.
II. The Arrest (vv. 27-30). Paul's
attempt at conciliation resulted not
in KHce but In more discord. Every
true servant of God Is sure to bo mis
represented, nnd It will not do nlwuys
to attempt to set straight nil the lies
that lire told nlioiit hlrn. God will
ttike enre of the lies and of our repu
tations. Most of the charges that
men. even Christians, Pring against
one another are based upon "sup
position" (v. 20). It was not a new
experience for Paul to be mobbed. As
the maddened Jews dragged him out
of the temple he must have recalled
the treatment of Stephen In which he,
himself, bad bad n hanil (7:f7. f8).
How frequent it Is that we, ourselves,
are In due time treated in the same
way In which we have treated others
(Gal. 0:7). It wns the intention of
the Jews to kill Pnul at once without
a trial (20:0. 10). They fancied they
were doing Gm1's service (John 10:2).
This lesson is a striking example of
the utter folly nod wickedness of mob
law. Paul's time had not yet come,
and all the nhs on enrth could not
kill him until God permitted It.
III. Tha Arraignment (vr. 37-40).
Tidings of the riot came to" the chief
captain, equivalent to our colonel
(Acts 23:20). Paul was bound with
two chains, one from each of bin arms
to a soldier, secured, yet left free to
walk with his guards, thus fulnllln?
the prophecy of Agabus (v. 21). Mobs
usually have great respct'for sol
diers, for they are Inwardly cowardly.
No sooner was Paul on the stairs
which led to the top of the fortress
than the mob. afraid that they vere
about to he balked of their vengeance,
made a mad rush at him. with cries
of "Kill him; kill him!" and Paul.,
unable In his fettered condition to
steady himself, was carried off bis
feet and hurried off In the same path
his Master bud trod (John 10:1.1)
and he was Benin to hear that cry.
(Ch. 22:22). Pining all this tumult
Paul had but one thought, how he
might witness for bis Master, and
bring - of hi blinded accusers to
a savin? -wledtre of Christ. Thus
It was tb- i be asked for the privilege
of speaking, and most courteously did
he make his rtsjuest. He spoke to
the captain In the Greek tongue, not
In nebrew. and great was the surprise
of the cnptnln.
Practical Application. Wlui we are
attacked, no matter for what ennse. If
we confidently look for deliverance
and exercise self-control, God will
take enre of us.
Such conduct Is disconcerting to our
eii'-mleK.
Diplomacy Is often dangerous and
misunderstood.
Circumstantial evidence is never of
great value.
There Is. however, a desirable form
of diplomacy as when Paul addressed
the soldiers In his native tongue.
Paul's principle was In essentials,
firmness; In non-essentials, liberty.
in the mud and he reached out and
pulled her back. I then saw Lucky
step up and shoot Hayes."
Mrs. Lane stated further that Mrs.
Clemmons told her three days before
that Lucky put hot cloths on her
while she was sick and that he asked
her (Mrs. Clemmons) to be bis
friend and that be was Jealous of
Hayes. On Tuesday Lucky bad stat
ed to Charley Frazier, another col
ored lad, that he "would burn him
self a shine and catcb an armful of
boxcars," meaning that he would kill
a colored man and catch a freight
out of town. Lucky had carried the
revolver for two weeks and bad been
making threats of doing harm to
several people.
Mrs. Clemmons was placed under
arrest and held as a witness in the
case. "Dusky," the Pullman car
porter, was also held pending an in
vestigation as to whether he might
not be subject to prosecution for
helping in an effort to get Mrs.
Clemmons out of town. Previous to
the finding of the woman, "Dusky"'
had told the officers he was but
slightly acquainted with Mrs. Clem
mens, and promised if she was found
on the train, on which he was run
ning, that he would at once wire the
authorities telling of her location.
That she was at the time in bis room
gives the officers good ground on
which to base the conjecture that
there was a concerted move on the
part of a number of colored people
to get the woman out of Alliance as
s (;n as possible and that "Dusky"
was well acquainted with the plana
It at had been made to assist her in
making a getaway.

my opinion, an element of strength.
I am not capable of criticising the

together, throwing them over a
clothes line and letting them fight it
out, seems to apply forcibly to the s:t

Hoys' and Men's Choir
For some time the question of a
purely boys' and men's choir bus
been under consideration by Dean
Shaw at St. Matthew's church.
Yesterday at a luncheon definite
steps were taken and the Won-an's
Guild has decided to furnish the nec
essary amount of money for this
purpose. The musical training of
the choir will be under ttie personal
direction of Miis Eunice Burnett, so
well and favorably known in musical
circles of Alliance.
It Is hoped that the memberrbip
of the choir will consist of about
tweniy-four boys and fifteen men.
Almost this number of men have al
ready volunteered and the member
ship in the choir will be opened to
all boys who care to undertake the
musical training.
This means that the membersb'p
will In no sense be confined to the
boys who belong to St. Matthew's,
but all boys will be welcomed.
