loved the Sunday school work and was a
nlenrtld superintendent. 1 speak of these
:(,!,, becftufte l have known a great many
biislnt-ss men who were members of the
church, but had no time for such things, a
very discouraging thing for a preacher.
I think that it Is a burning sliame for
anyone, especially a minister of the gospel,
t act the part of a vulture. Why not tell
some of. the good things a man baa done
while he is alive to hi'ar them, and not
Malt until he Is dead and then throw them
at his culnn?
Now. Mr. Editor. I do not want to weary
your readers, but I wanted to say this
much, and 1 can say much more. If neces
sary. In behalf of good, clean government.
In behalf of a man who has the backbone
to stand up against the wrong in high
places. A man who will continue to do me
right when he Is re-elected, which I be
lleve he will be, because, Mr. Editor, we are
not ashamed of such a man as Mr. Mickey
or of his administration.
In conclusion, let me sny In my own be
half, as I SHid In the beginning, this state
ment Is entirely voluntary on my part.

Wants Reports Printed.
It Is not improbable that strenuous ef
forts will be made to Induce the State
Printing board to rescind Its action in the
matter of knocking out the biennial report
of the State Board of Irrigation. Just at
thla time thla report Is more important
than heretofore because of the Immense
amount of money that the federal govern
ment intend to spend in this state in
irrigation projects.' In some of the states
the government haa requested that irriga
tion boards be appointed where they are
not known. In order to assist with the
work. Considerable money haa been spent
in securing the data for the report and
unlesa the printing board rescinds its action
this data will find a resting place in the
pigeon bolea of the office. Should the
board remain obdurate, however, the next
legislature will be called upon to take some
action, for the report means much to the
western counties of the state. The report
would make about 200 pages. . In the
meantime the labor bureau wil! publish a
bulletin and aa soon aa that ia oft the press
It will publlah a biennial report contain
ing much of the same matter and much
Information that could be secured In the
report of the auditor. But It Is tho fault
of the law governing the printing of re
ports more than It is the fault of the State
Prlntli.g board.
Judges In Consultation.
Supreme Court Judges Holcomb, Sedg

Trouble Over m Calf.'
A little "dork red buU calf to the value
of $10" Is causing Jacob Crockford of Mc
pherson county lots of trouble. According
to the decision of a Jury in the McPher
son district court Crockford with Freddie
Cogger appropriated this "little dark red
bull calf" to their own use without the
aid or consent of the owner. , II. Fowles.
'When Fowles found out about it be had
them both arrested. Crockford asked for
a separate trial and be was tried on two
enlarges, one for grand larceny and the
other for receiving atolen property. On
the first charge he was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year, though on the
second charge he was found not guilty.
Ills attorneys claim the Judge was in error
when b allowed the second indictment
to stand and be submitted to the Jury, as
and for that reason they have asked the
supreme court to give Jacob a second run
for his money.

Former Pastor Pralsea Mickey.
Another former puslor of the church in
which Governor Mickey has his member
ship writes as follows ccnoerning tho sensi
tlonal charges made by Rev, C. W. Bavidge
of Omaha:
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb., Oct. 31. I
noticed in the Wond-iiertud what was
claimed to be a sermon lroin Kev. C. W.
baviuge of Omuha. In that sermon Rev.
Mr. bavidge says, "On all questions in
volving morality and the principles of
righteousness tne minister should speak
out" Ho he haa opened up the way for
ma to speak. I am not In politics, except
as It Is my study, for "true politics is tne
science of government," and every minister
should be Interested In that. I am a minis
ter of the gospel and like to see every man
have fair play, and I do believe that Kev.
Mr. Suvldge haa wronged Mr. Mickey in
the statements he has made, as published
by the World-Herald. 1 cannot allow any
such attack to go unnoticed, and I want to
say right here that what I have to say is
entirely voluntary on my part.
I was appointed puslor of the Osceola
charge In the fall of 1&97. and served that
charge two years, and during that time I
naa a goou opportunity to hnd out some
things about Mr. Mickey. In the tlrst
place. I want to say that Mr. Mickev la
to my certain knowledge a friend to the
poor ana uniortunate. f or instance, a cer
tain man, a farmer, that I was well ac
quainted with, lost his burn, horae.i and
grain by Are, and the next day or two was
in town telling some of his friends about it
He came Into the bank where Mr. Mickey
and I were talking and told us about it.
Mr. Mickey turned to him and said: "You
go down to my barn and you will And a
6-year-old horse tied there. Put on him
that new collar that hongs behind him and
take him homo with you. I will make him
a present to you."
Again, when making my pastoral calls
I would very often hear the poor telling
how they would find coal In their bins and
flour would be left at their doors, and
afterwards find that It came from Mr.
Mickey. Many times have I heard Grand
mother Strang and Grandmother Stevens,
two old widows, tell of these things, and
they would prnlse the Lord for letting such
a man live. When Willie Lewis, a grand
son of Mother Strang, as we called her,
fell in the battle at Manila I remember
that It became my duty to go with Brother
Mickey to break the dreadful news to her.
No very pleasant task, I can assure you.
I shall never forget that scene, how tend
erly he broke thel news to her. He could
not have been more tender to his own
mother. I might go on and tell of many
other good deeds of this man, but I will
Just say this, that there was not a man
in Osceola that the poor and unfortunate
loved so well as John H. Mickey.
Now, in regard to Mr. Mickey loaning
money to Methodist preachers, I know this,
that I have had considerable money from
Mr. Mickey and the bunk at different
times, and he always seemed glad to let
me have It, and he charged me less than
the regular rate of Interest and never asked
me any security.
Rot Grabbing; Farms.
In regard to taking farms away from
people during the hard times I will say
that I know of one farmer who hud bor
rowed money of Mr. Mickey and mortgaged
his farm to secure it, and when the hard
times came he was not able to make his
fiayinenta and begged Mr. Mickey to tnke
lis farm, but Mr. Mickey teld hlru to "try
again," and he did try again, and paid the
debt and is happy today.
No man can truthfully say that Mr.
Mickey is not a friend to the poor and un
fortunate, and when he does make such a
statement it shows that he does not know
what he is talking about.
Again, Rev. Mr. Savldge says "that Mr.
Mickey is not a Christian." because, he
says, "no true Christian has a supreme
greed for gold." I want to submit this to
the people who want a Christian man at
the head of things in this state. Does It
look as though a man had a very great
greed for gold when he will give out of hla
own earnlnKS over $10,000 to an Institution
of learning, $500 to hospital work and to
many others in the same proportion 7 I
have never known a man who seemed to
love to give to the cause of Chrlsr so well
as J. H. Mickey. When they were building
that beautiful Methodist church In Osceola
Mr. Mickey gave $4,000 of the $12,000. He
paid H00 of the $900 salary, and In the same
proportion to all the expenses and benevol
ences of the church, and Ood has blessed
him In a material way for It. Mr. Mickey
loves his church. He never missed prayer
meeting when he was at home. He waa
the best class leader I ever had, and alwavs
had a word of good cheer to give. lie

As the fields of war and the battle lostt
