And trying to figure the difference in guilt 'Tween a thief and all-around liar, His memory turned to scenesof youth And his eyes tilled with hot, boiling tears. So he took down his ledger and turned to a page Dated back about 6.000 years. ; I suppose, he said, as he glanced thro' the book. I am doing the best that I can, My business shows continual increase Even since the creation of man. I’ve cribbed a good harvest for 6.000 years. And should be content with the yield And give my opponent permission to have The gleanings I leave in the field. I’ve gathered a very diversified crop Of merchants and lawyers galore: I've bound politicians in bundles until Every one of my fingers are sore. I’ve fiddlers, gamblers, insurance men I've murderers, forgers and liars: I've filled the furnace with green vot er-strights Till they actually put out the fires. I’ve railroad conductors and doctors to spare, Horse traders a nd preachers to spend Republicans, democrats, tories. whigs Anri two or three newspaper men. But there is one class. I am nappy to say Can never gain entrance here. Their souls are so dirty, they would, 1 am sure. Demoralize hell in less than a year. I refer to that thing, neither human nor beast— The carrion crow of the world— Who is never so happy as w hen he can 1 feast On tiie wreck of an innocent girl. A million ofyears in my hotestof rooms His slander could never atone, So 1 give him a match and advise him | to start A select little hell of his own. With his fingers he lit an asbestos cigar And placing his book on the shelf. He muttered. “I may be a verV ba<f mall But I've got some respect fdfr myself." —Selected. _' . ... Enforce Anti-Treat Law. (Lincoln News. Governor Sheldon is being called : upon to enforce the anti-treat law. I An organized effort is being made all | over tiie state, printed petitions liave I been circulated and have begun to pour in upon the governor asking him as the chief executive whose duty it is to enforce laws to see that treating is stopped in saloons and other public places as provided by section 31 and 32 of an independent act passed in 1881. The law applies to the giving away of intoxicating liquors. For the first offense a fine of 810 or im prisonment in the county jail for ten days, or both, may be imposed. Petitions have been received by the governor from Elmwood, Aurora, Dawson and Ord. He has taken no action in regard to the matter. The law has been a dead letter ever since it was passed, only one or two at tempts having been made to enforce it. Under the Sackett law passed last winter the attorney general may proceed, when directed by the govern or. to remove any officer who fails to enforce a law which it is his duty to enforce. Few prosecutions have been attempted under this law. It will lie difficult to show whose duty it is to enforce laws where county and city : may have equal jurisdiction. E. Munn Passes Away. Mr. E. Munn, Hazard.s foremost citizen, and one of the oldest settlers in southern Sherman county, died Monday, Dec. 8th, at the age of 07 years, 2 months and 4 days. The deceased was an Englishman by birth, being born in London in 1840. He came to the United States about forty years ago, locating first in Minnesota, afterwards moving to Iowa, where he lived for five years. During his residence in Iowa lie was married, and in 1879 Mr. and Mrs. Munn moved to this state locating on a homestead, on which the present village of Hazard is located. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. M unn, one of whom died in infancy, and his wife and one daughter. Miss Frances Munn. survive him. For sixteen years Mr. Munn held a com mission as postmaster at Hazard, re signing the position only within the past year on account of his failing health. Mr. Munn was a man who was wide ly known and was a very influential citizen. He was a man of great integ rityand his word was considered as good as his band. He enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him and his deatii will be great ly mourned in the community in which he lived. During the last five years of his life, and particularly during the past year, lie has suffered almost constant pain, at times almost unbearable, and death was to him a welcome relief from terrible suffering. The funeral was held at the Metho dist church in Hazard on Wednesday, Rev. Matthews of Sargent preaching the funeral sermon. The remains were brought to Ravenna for inter ment in Highland cemetery. The funeral was very largely at tended, many peoble coming from considerable distances to attend the obsequies. A number of people from Ravenna attended.—Ravenna News.

Gibson: For a long time you have used the columns of your paper to try and injure me in my business by making false statments. For the sake of your respectable family I have stood this abuse in your columns without even answering one article. Ever since the farmers’ elevators were organized at this place and Schaupps you have lied about me and made false reports. There is no one w ho does not think that the farmer has just as much right to own his elevator and ship his grain and stock as a regular grain dealer has the right to engage in the same business. In this country all men should have equal rights and what I say in this article does not reflect upon any farmer handling his grain, if he thinks he can get more out of it. But when the farmers’ organization started here many of the leaders in the organization assisted by your paper tried to build up the same by trying to ruin my business. You circulated reports through your paper as to the profits which were made by grain men that caused the farmers to become dissatisfied with their home markets, and they have their own elevators at this place and Schaupps and have found out that you were wrong. For the information of some of the stockholders in the Loup City ele vator who do not seem to know it. I want to say that it never was run as a farmers’ association, but as soon as your managers had it built they leased it to an old line company in Omaha, who paid you what they pleased for your grain, and many of you supposed you were doing business for yourself. Why did the leaders, assisted by you. Mr. Gibson, do this? Why. yes why? Then you at tne same time, urged the farmers to hold together when in ; fact you knew it was leased to what j you call the “trust." Why did you ' j allow the officers to do this? It was not the farmer you were interested in. You with others perhaps thought by a scheme of 'this kind you could ! ruin my business. About the same conditions existed at Scliaupps until I think about April 1, 1907, when the Schaupps farmers, dissatisfied with your scheme of fooling them, took their elevator into their own hands, and have continued to run it them selves. as they should do. But still! you were not content with that, and have continued jour abuse and false I hoods about me and in your last dirty ! issue your charges are false. Regard | ing the shipment of hogs which you i speak of. we did not pay leas than $3.50 on Monday, while some surround-1 ing tow ns paid as low as $3.30, and the top price in Omaha that day was j 4c, leaving a very small margin to j I buy on. You sav “I approached j ■several farmers the day they brought j their hogs in to ship and offered them j $3.75, which was more than they! | would net. and in that way 1 tried to break the shipment.” This is utterly false, as I made no offers to any of the association that morning and paid $3.65 for some hogs that came in . direct to us. Some of the farmers reported to me that they expected ■ , their hogs to net them 4c, as their I shipper, Mr. Lewandowski, thought! they were worth $4.45 in Omaha. Just as the train pulled in and they were loading the hogs, Mr. Wm. Lew andowski came to me and said if I j would give them $3.70 for their hogs II could have them. I told him had he offered them to me at that price one hour before 1 would have ’phoned to the parties I sell to and tried to have bought them, but that I would not buy a car load of hogs without | finding out the market. Had I bought the hogs at Mr. Lewandow ski’s offer, they would have netted me over $3.80, as I ship direct to a packing house at Seattle, while Mr. ; Lewandowski shipped them to Omaha. On the following day their hogs were on the Omaha market and per your statement only netted $3.69, and the market was 15c higher than the day I paid $3.65. lou say we were paying 80c for wheat and when the farmers opened up their elevator we paid 83c. In the same issue, also, and often in the past, you try to carry the idea that I am doing no business at Schaupps. For your benefit, when in Ashton on Monday, Dec. 17tli, I went to the depot from where all shipments at Schaupps are billed, and compared the shipments of the farmers’ assoc iation to my own since April 1, 1907 which I think was about the time tliey begun business for themselves, to Dec. 17, 1907, and found that I have shipped four cars of gr^n for each one they have shipped, and ten cars of hogs for each car they have shipped. I do not make this showing to discredit the association, but to show how false your statements are, and I challenge you to make a differ ent showing on our shipments. The fanners, as well as the business men, are losing confidence in you. You even tried to bring me into the Sekutera deal, as you called it, when you well knew I never had any in terest in the land at any time. Even if I had been interested, my brother, F. J. Taylor, did nob get* the money COMING! ONE NIGHT ONLY! At Loup City Opera House! Monday, Dec. 23d “A KANSAS SUNFLOWER” A PLAY WITH A HEART STORY, (By Will H.

CONHISER Loup City, Nebraska out of the judgment that you have! talked about for the past six months. Nearly every one knows that the amount due on this judgment was deposited in a bank in Sherman coun ty and is still held In trust to be turned over to Sherman county or the heirs of the estate, and it was not a matter between F. J. Taylor and Sherman county, but the Sekutera heirs and Sherman county, and if the countv board saw fit to make settle ment by having pa rt of the money paid i in it benefited the very people you i claim were being robbed. You are like other rascals of your kind, who in order to detract attention from themselves are continually calling out. ] “Stop thief! stop thief!” when accord ing to the county^ records kept bv yourself and which records are at the present time being investigated by order of the county board, you are a defaulter for some *2.00. You must know from your own records that vou owe Sherman county more than the amount of money you accounted for and turned in as’fees when you were county clerk. And you are using, perhaps, some of this same money, now to publish a paper that makes false reports in nearly every issue vou have published for a year! Put this money tiack before you cry •“thief.” I am sorry to be called upon to make this statement, ’i»ut think in justice to myself I should do so, as many people who read your dirty sheet are not acquainted with con ditions as they are at Loup City. I am willing to stand upon my record j made the past 18 years as a business man ami refer you to the business men of Ashton and Loup City with whom I deal. B. 6.
