I McClintock Family History Filled With Violent and Mysterious Deaths - \ THE McClintocff family history is a chronology of deaths, some of them vio lent, some mysterious. Its roots go bacl( to a wealthy Englishman who died in 1870, leaving a huge estate to his widow. She married IVilliam Hiclfling, and they moved to Ot tawa, III., where she died. Hiclfling married Sarah Censler, and then he died. His widow married the elder IVilliam McClintocff, and then she died. , In 1902, McClintocff-moved to Chicago and married Miss Emma Nelson, April 3, 1903, IVilliam Nelson McClintocff, jr., n>as born. In 1905 the elder McClintocff was I,filled in an automobile accident. In that year IVilliam D. Shepherd and his wife went to live with Mrs. Mc Clintocff and her young son. June 7, 1909, Mrs. McClintock died^ in'an illness which developed overnight. She left her boy a million dollars. The Shepherds became his guardians. He went to school and college and quit to study a business course. He met and wooed Miss Isabelle Pope. Thus the story enters the final tragic chapters: November 23, 1924: McClintock became ill with typhoid fever. December 1, 1924: Miss Pope obtained a license for their Wedding, but— December 5: McClintock died. His will left all his estate to Shepherd. December 17: Seven cousins announced they would attempt to break the will. December 24: Chief Justice Harry Olson had McClint6cl('s body exhumed. Judge Olson's brother. Dr. R. G. Olson, had died suddenly in 1919 after the Shep herds visited him. March 3. 1925: Judge Olson accused Shepherd of murdering McClintock■ -u 7 he inquest was postponed to March 24. March 12: Dr. C. C. Faiman charged that Shepherd stole typhoid germs from him, and later paid him $50. March 13: Shepherd was arrested by State's Attorney Crowe. March 14: It n>as agreed that Shepherd should remain in custody until IVcdnesday. A call is made for the grand jury. , i March 16: Under prolonged grilling. Dr. Faiman admits that he gave Shep hefd typhoid germs and that Shepherd offered him a $20,000 bribe to "keep his mouth shut" after Shepherd had regained possession of a letter he had written ap plying for admission into Dr. Faiman s school of bacteriology. The grand jury meets and hears two witnesses.___j N ■ ■■ ■ —— ■ ■ ■ ii. i . ■ ■ ii i- ■ i . ■ Spiritual Sense Need of World, Says Lecturer Sickness and Evil Overcome by Change of Thoughts, Says Christian Science Speaker. "Christian Science ami (lie King dom of Heaven" was the subject of an address by Paul Stark Seeley, Christian Science lecturer of Portland, Ore., at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Tuesday evening. He will speak again at the church Thursday evening. The text of his address. In part, fol lows: “Christ Jesus began his epoch-mak ing ministry with the imperative com mand, 'Repent: for the kingdom of heaven ia at hand.' "Let us note that Jesus' statement concerning the presence of (iod and • His kingdom could not have been made If he had had no other evidence of existence than that which his eyes saw and his ears heard. These senses saw an order wherein his country men were under the Roman yoke, the Pharisees were In Moses' spat, and the human race was in subject Ion to sin, disease, and death. “Jesus gave no weight to this order, hut with his thought fixed on a higher order of existence he confidently said, 'Repent: for the kingdom of heaven Is at hand.' Jesus well knew the truth, later declared by Paul, 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear beard . . . the things which God hath prepared.’ If. then, we cannot perceive God and Ills king dom with our eyes and ears, how are we to find Him and His creation? Through spiritual sense. Spiritual Sense Reliable. “Perhaps we have never thought of having a spiritual sense. Nevertheless we have, and it Is the most reliable *»nss we possess. This sens# perceives the things that endure. The practice of kindness, honesty, or Justice, If without aelfish motive. Is the activity Of spiritual sense. So we see that ev ery right thinking person is using spiritual sense in some measure every ija v. "N'one of these God qualities can ba seen, heard, tasted, or felt with the material senses. The physical senses flMctrn only our temporary material surroundings, whereas spiritual sense acquaints us with the ideas of mind. There Is within us this sense which dlscernR good and clings to it, and there Is nothing about the operation that is physical in any way. By this spiritual, o>- right mental, sense, God, spirit, is discerned and His laws un derstood. And it was because of what he discerned through spiritual spnse that Jesus could say without qualifi cation. In the face of a material world, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Must Change Thoughts. “One of the happy things about Christian Science is that it explains how near God Is simply by showing that God Is mind, the author of every / —-- --\ good thought. Our bodies do not have to move an inch. But wfe do have to make a. move in our thought. The move la from the wrong 'to the right point of view of existence, from the material to the spiritual basis of thought. One mentally emigrates from the lvind of Bad, where the giant* of Poverty. Fear, Hate and Sickness, seem to rule, to the Land of Good, where the only lawgiver 1* the all loving and all-wise God. "A Christian Science treatment In cludes denial of the claim* of evil and affirmation of the facts oT being as known to God. A lie when an swered by truth bet times silent, w hether the lie be a slander or a sick ness. Jij Revelation John saw thit the dragon, typifying all evil and sickness, was cast out, not by drugs, nor by a surgeon’s knife, but "by the word of their testimony." Thl* is the method of Christian Science, the hearing of true testimony In thought and word, testifying aright of Onr| and His man. Poverty 'lay It* Overcome. "Christian Science is applicable lo every human need. Poverty and lack may become the same as sickness. When confronted with the false ar guments of limitation. If we would turn our thought, to the God appoint ed order of existence Instead of look ing Into the bottomless pit of error, —the unfounded belief* of evil,—we would find that love ha* already pro vided fully for man's every used. "This provision become* evident In Ihe proportion that love reign* within u*. Limitation denies wisdom and Im pugn* love. Limitation Is the essence of matter and evil. Evil argue* limit ed aupply, limited happiness, limited life, limited activity, limited under standing, limited capacity, limited everything. It I* Ihe firm, of Evil * Co., Limited' This evil partnership has been adjudicated by Chrislian Science and found bankrupt. II ha* no a«sets, no place of business, no reliable business connection*, and II* dissolution Is rapidly lining accom plished. "In the Sermon on the Mount Jeeu* counseled his followers, 'Let your communication l>e. Yea. yea; Nay, nay.’ One meaning of the word com munication Is ’reasoning.’ Th* com mand Is thus seen to mean that our reasoning, or thinking, should he. ‘Yea, yea; Nay, nay.’ Such Is the practice of Christian Science. The Christian Scientist agrees with, thinks ‘Yen. yea.' with the harmoni ous, divine order, and so affirm* what is true. He denis* or think* 'Nay nay.' to the claims* of evil, and ao dtnle* what l* untrue. H* cling* to th* true and liarmonlou* conception and re pudiate* the dlacordaut inlaconcep Hon of existence, * "Christian Helene* treatment ap plies lo every need. It haul* sickness, does away with aln. brings dear Judg ment In business, anil a happier at mosphere In Ihe hums.’’ RADIO. l - -- ■ - ^ l'nigram fur March 18.

Va rious American Legion posts, 1). A. It. organizations, patriotic societies and civic organizations In both states have taken this up as an important question, and have placed it before the national and Wyoming legislators. Although there are many old set tlers now living in the vicinity of the fort who remember the early days, the Indian massacres, the early move ments of United States soldiers at tlie fort and other events of historical value connected with the old fort, it will not be long before they will have passed on, taking with them their knowledge of the fort. In realizing this fact, O. TV Un thank of (’hadron has been working with the various departments of both the national and Wyoming govern ments to secure the preservation of Fort Laramie as a historical museum for future generations. His work has been influenced by the discoveries of valuable history and early infor mation of tlie fort found in his early home at Arlington, 30 miles from Omaha. Father Was Operator at Fort. O. N. Unthank was one of the early operators stationed at Fort Laramie. At a recent date many detailed facts concerning the fort were found at the family homestead near Omaha. They Included Indian raids and massacres: detailed movements of United Slates troops, and pictures of Fort Laramie and the men stationed there In early days. Among these papers was found Ihe marriage license of Mr. Unthank, writ ten on foolscap paper, And hearing the seal of the territory of Wyoming. He Is still living, having reached hi* 89th birthday, and I* making hi* home at Los Angeles. A* an example of the Interest shown towards saving Ihe old fort as a national project, Travis Snow post No. 5, American Legion, located at Goshen, Wvo., drew tip a set of reso lution* asking that the Wyoming leg islature purehase the »lte of old Fort Laramie and preserve the same. Many other organizations through out the Platte valley Ate working for this end. some even taking their rjs olutions to the national congresamen for consideration. High way Advance* Movement. Inasmuch as there is a movement before the national government to make the Old Oregon trail a national road, purchase of the fort by the United States as a national reserve and park is urged. The lands sur rounding Ihe fort possess river pas ture* to shelter grove* and other fea tures favorable to making this a game reserve for buffalo, elk and other wild game In their natural atale. The Guernsey (Wyo.i, Gazette »ays: "It Is little less than a crime to al low thpse old ruins to fall in decay ainl this old outpost of civilization erased forever. It is of great histori cal Interest, and In after-years would become a mecca for tourists and sight seers over the nation." Citizens Present Resolution. t'ltlzens of Fort I-aramie drew up resolutions concerning the movement to make the fort a national Institu tion. They point out that the fort Is now in private ownership, with the buildings rapidly falling Into decay and ruin which will soon be beyond repair. In tlie resolutions I* an argument that the North Platte Valley high way, which passes through the fort, I* tiie 1110*1 direct route from the east to the Vellow*lone National park and the Pacific coast. Also that Ihe fort lies on the Old Oregon trail and Is seen by thousands of tourists each yea r. Nebraskans to Send Herts to Sheridan Sugar Factory Bridgeport.

Patrick day," de clared Frank Murphy, acting lieu tenant in charge of the traffic de ta.ll, when he appeared at central atatlon Tuesday morning wearing a shamrock in hi's coet lapel and a green tie about his neck. But he knew not of the machina tions of the garage crew who fash ioned a large orange shamrock and fastened it to the rear of Murphy's car. The lieutenant drove throughout the business district Tuesday morn ing, Inspecting safety zones, unaware of the cause of pedestrians’ stares. Then he met an old friend at Fif teenth and Harney streets. "Ol thought ye Were a good Oirishman,” declared the friend in a disappointed tone and turned hi* back upon Murphy. Frank was puzzled. “Say, Bill, Is there anything the mather wld me?” he asked Police Sergeant William Carney. "Nothing more than usual," said Carney, before spying the orange shamrock, then, "Begorra, phwata that on the back of yer car?"' Murphy, armed with a generous supply of Irish confetti, returned to the police garage to do some old fashioned Irish celebrating, but the pranksters were gone. GROWERS REDUCE POTATO ACREAGE Kearney, March 17.—Kearney dis-1 trlrt potato acreage will experience another shrinkage this season, in the opinion of local growers. It Is doubt ful If more than 1,000 acres will he planted to potatoes, as compared to over 4,000 acres In 1924. Reduction In acreage Is due almost entirely to unfavorable prices received lit Ihe last few years, with actual losses suffered by some of the grow ers, especially in 1923. There has also been an ever-increasing leaning to the Irish Cobblers In preference to the Early fthlos, which at one time held over 40 per cent of the entire Kearney district acreage. Planting is expected to get under way the latter part of this month and continue up to April 10. Kearney T. P.

A man who can talk about himself ami mill be entertaining Is Maj. Vivian Gilbert, who closed the Drama league lecture aeaaon Tuesday afternoon at the Brandels theater, speaking on “Both Sides of the Footlights.'' Major Gilbert Is an actor, who he gan his career at It with the Ben Greet players In England. He left an engagement with "Peg o' My Heart" in N'ew Tork during the war to en roll in the British army. "Because I had seven brothers who were officers In the n*vy and army." he explained, "they made me an of fleer, too. "Stage training is of immense value to an army officer," said Major Gil bert. "When I was second lieutenant, ’ he explained, "my sense of the port prevented me from making the mis lake of wearing my mustacblo too long. Mine was short when X was in that position. A* captain. I fostered more definite length, and when I be came a major, my mustache was a complete entity. "When the war was over I cut it off,” he said, shortly. Personality Is Important. Majo rGilbert continued: "Few things interest people more than meeting a real actor; few things bore them more than hearing about a dead one. That is because people are more Interested In personalities than In art. "Personality is of much more value on the stage than experience or tech nique. The three most important things for an actor are personality, good parts and a management that believes in him. "if you have even small talent add in Independent income, go on the stage." he advised. "If you succeed you will earn more in a month than a really clever person can in a year. You will meet charming people end enough unpleasant ones to give you a feeling of superiority. "Rut heaven help those who try to make a living from the stage, though the Actors' Kqu.ty has done a greet deal for actors In America,” he added "In Enland we pay poor salaries, but actors are good socially. In Amer ica the salaries are much better, but fe wactors are kno- n outside, except the Harrymores and such. America Ukes (lie New. "It is exceptional for an aitor to receive notice during preliminary re hearjnls in England; in America It is exceptional If he does not. That is because almost anyone is permitted to try nut for a part here, while in England the actors have more of a dosed corparatlon, "American audiences are keener^ than ours.
