the following letter this morning.
I was fortunate enough to see last week
a copy of little book of yours entitled
"Of Such la tba Kingdom." I have never
had the pleasure of meeting you personally,
but 1 trust you will pardun my writing to
express my admiration for the book. The
men are rare. I-think, who know childhood
so Intimately and write of It so well. The
book cannot but prove a treasury to all
who ar fnd of children and delight to
Journey with them In "The Kingdom of
Never Grow Old."

CARFEJTTKR qtARRELS AltD IS SHOT
Raaeamaa Arrestee aad Held Catll
Coroner's Jry Says "Aeeldeat."
SIDNEY, Neb.. Feb. L (Special Tele
gram.) W. D. Stratton, a carpenter of
Kimball, was shot Wednesday by John
Bower, a successful ranchman living about
three mile south of Dlx. Th coroner's
Jury returned a verdict tonight of "acci
dental shooting."
Stratton had been building a ranch houae
upon Bower's homestead and th latter
claimed it was not good work, discharging
Stratton and seeking better workmen in
Kimball.
According to Stratton' tatement. Bower
had failed to pay him for work don. Ac
cording to Bower' statement In Kimball on
Tuesday, he had not only paid him, but
refused to put up with what he consid
ered poor workmanship. Wednesday morn
ing Stratton, who is known- to be of a
quarrelsome nature, armed with a rifle snd
liquid refreshment, drove to Bower' ranch
and demanded an Immediate settlement.
Bower parleyed with him for some time and
upon Btratton'a seizing th gun from his
buggy turned and went Into the house,
bringing out an pld double-barreled shot
gun filled with buckshot end proceeded to
to turn its contents loose' In Stratton'
abdomen. It was a fearful wound 'and
through the effort of Bower and neigh
bora tho wounded man waa carried to th
section house at Dlx.
Dr. Mockett of Kimball waa telephoned
for and wa by tha wounded man's side
until he died. A warrant being sworn out.
Sheriff Bartholomew and Counyr Attorney
Kinney drove to the residence of Bower
and also took an ante-mortem statement
from Stratton Bower claims that ths
shooting was done In self-defense and
those familiar with the situation consider
his claim Justflable. Both the dead man
and his assailant are married men and
have children
An Inquest wss held at Kimball today
and after an exhaustive review of th cir
cumstance the Jury, In the absence of
other direct testimony, rendered a verdict
of i "accidental shooting." Ths verdict,
while somewhat peculiar, ha th endorse
ment of the general public. Inasmuch aa Mr.
Stratton was always Inclined to be quarrel
some when under the Influence of liquor.
In this tnstanc Mr. Bower had hired Strat
ton. believing him to be a carpenter, ths
dead man having ao represented himself.
HI work. It I generally thought. Justified
Bower in discharging him. There were no
eye witnesses to the shooting, but sufficient
evidence existed In the mind of th county
official to caus Mr. Bower' Incarceration
awaiting th verdict of the coroner' In
quest. Bower haa lived for the last two years In
Kimball county and is looked upon aa a
successful ranchman. Ths funeral of th
dead man will take place Saturday afternoon.

of the kind in the stats of New Tork is
sending letters to ths druggists in this state
strongly protesting against the passage of
the measure. Boms extracts from the let
ter follow:
"Ths reputable proprietary manufacturer
la greatly In favor of any reasonable law
which may be considered necessary to reg
ulate the sale of so-called patent medicines,
but such sweeping measures aa these ar
usually introduced tor selfish purpose.'
"Th Idea of placing a poison label on
all preparations that contain I per cent of
alcohol la so absurd that It proves ths Ig
norance of thoas who Introduce such bills.
"The National Pur Food and Drug Law
ahould be made a state law by every state
In ths union. Ths manufacturer ia not

asking for a square deal.
"If th Stat leglslatur considers It
necessary to pass a drug law. th common
ens proposition Is to follow th national

WHY not shoemaking geniut as well as a Rembrandt
or a Millet? And why not a shoemaking Worth as
well as a dressmaking Worth? There is as an inspection
of the new "Queen Quality" models we now - have on dis
play will prove. Many of the new "Queen Quality" Boots
might aptly be called art creations, so really beautiful are
they. They stand out from the average shoes as does a
beautifully gowned woman amongst the commonplace.
Yet an interesting feature of "Queen Quality" Shoes is their
moderate price $3.50 and $4.00 for "Custom Grade"
$3.00 and $3 50 for the Regular. Give us the pleasure of
demonstrating the merits of these exceptional shoes..
