Senator Hitchcock, of Omaha, was
here Thursday night, on an automo
bile trip of this part of the state,
piloted by Dan Heffernan of Hub
bard, and spoke to a small crowd at
the court house. He was smooth
enough not to bring up any of the
issues of his former campaign when
he assailed the high cost of living
(which has been gradually getting
higher and higher) nor the great re
duction in the cost of sugar, which
was promised by the democrats at
that time. Just another instance of
bamboozling the dear voters.
Section Foreman Chas. Olson, who

when a couple of Sheeney's were
nabbed while selling liquor from

well liked by his neighbors and right

employment.

$100 on each of five counts, leaving
the other six counts hanging over
him during good behavior. The
fine, amounting to $500, with costs
amounting to $50 more, was paid by
Carvell. County Attorney S. T.

John Peyson Shoots '

As a result of a rumpus at the

Thursday afternoon, John Peyson,
wno nas oeen an inmate oi thu place

feet, the charge of shot striking
Reilly in the leg above the knee.
The injured man was taken to a
Sioux City hospital where on Satur
day he died shortly after an opera
tion for the amputation of his leg
had been performed.
Stories of the racket and the
shooting which followed are some
what conflicting. Peyson claims
that Reilly had knocked him down
and then followed him to the house
and was endeavoring to gain admit
tance to a room where he had forti
fied himself, and ti.nt he shot in self
defense.
The Reillys claim that Peyson had
butted in where he had no business
and was struck by young Reilly, had
that when Reilly went to the house
Peyson fired at him through a win
dow, the charge striking him in the
leg.
Peyson was arrested by Deputy
SherifT John Hileman and lodged in
the county jail, where on Wednes

remain in jail until court convenes

It certainly was a fine thing to see
the way the Salem men take hold of
the financial plan that has been lined
out for the year at Salem. Messrs.
Culbertson. Learner. Bates and G.
G. Sides worked till midnight at the
parsonage last Wed i i.sday night on
the lists and by that time had the
work for Sunday well lined out.
But there was something else to be
done, and that was a get-to-gether
meeting of the councilmen and some
others who had been asked to help
in the general canvass. That was
done Saturday night at the church.
A good number of the men were
there, and they had a good social
time, and the pastor went over the
ground with them giving some in
structions and leading in discussion,
and adding ginger to the undertak
ing. A good many things go be
cause there is some enthusiasm be
hind the work, and when men get a
bit of enthusiaspi for the work of
the church they lose tho sense of its
being unpleasant and heavy. What
we like to do is easy. The men
thought the plan .was a good one
and ought to work. It is not a dif
ficult one and when they alll work
together it is a pleasure as well as a
duty. When men think they have a
good way of doing a thing and it
may possibly be a new thing, they
will take it up with eagerness and
hope for the best outcome. When
we meet men with hope and pleasure,
they will respond to it as a rule.
Ask the men if it was not the pleas
antest and easiest work they have
done in this line for a long time.
There was a good turnout at the
first practice ot the chorus for the
winter, and the young folks did well.
They sang at the church service last
bunday morning for the edification
and pleasure of the worshipers.
There is little that helps along in the
service like good music, and we have
it at the church. There were some
who were not there but they will
come along and help to make the
work more pleasing and enjoyable
for us all. If you have boys or girls
and they are not too far away from
the church it will be good training
for thorn to meet with us at this
Friday night practice. Most of the
music training the pastor ever had
was in doing just this sort of work.
We ask you to send them along.
Jesus was speaking once as to
those that would follow him, and he
said if any man did not hate his
father, mother, sister, brother, and
his own ljfe also he could not be his
disciple, and by that he meant if he
did not put him ahead of all the rest,
he could not be a disciple. We
ought to remember that when it
comes to our service. That our own
things are not to be first on his day,
and wo give the day to him if we can
spare it ourselves if we do not have
other work to do. But we are to
arrange our affairs so wo can give
the day to him. I low many of us
will attend the fair this week, many.
How many will go without making
any arrangements for it, just go off
and leave tho farm and the house
till we come back, none. We will
plan for it, and see that things are
left in shape. We will not have a
lot of work begun that will have to
be finished on tho day we will be
gone. If tho alfalfa is down it will
have to wait till the next day when
we can get at it. Now if we will do
the same thing with regard to get
ting the work out of the way or
leaving it while wo get to the house
of God. There will always be work,
even after we are gone, and we can
not do it all, we can arrange to get
away for a while if we will. Woare
sometimes inclined to think some
things are necessary at a certain
time when in reality we could leave
them for the time being if we wore
anxious about it. Jesus says to la
bor not for the things of this world
but for the things that are eternal.
After all they are the important
things. What will a man gain if he
gains the whole world and still lose
his own soul. All the money of Wall
Street will not do a dvinir man anv
good, but if he could have a sight
into the future, and the clorv of
heaven it would be a mighty comfort
to him, worth a lile's ellort.
