First Life Sentence
When Judge William H. Thomp
son last week imposed a life sen
tence in the penitentiary on Geo.
L. Pearce, a farmer of .Stanton
county, for shooting J. I. Silvey,
the Thirty-second Judicial District
had its lirst conviction for first
degree murder. A previous trial
resulted in a hung jury. The jury
this time was out five hours before
returning a verdict. It is consider
ed remarkable that a jury could be
obtained in the county to vote for
conviction, as the entire male pop
ulation is only one hundred and
fifty. The total of the two venires
called by Judge Thompson was
121. Bond has been fixed at $25,
000 pending an appeal.
The shooting of Silvey is said to
have resulted from a dispute over
land boundaries.
Agricultural Institute
Prof. S. U. Black, superinten
dent of the Panhandle Agricul
tural Institute, has just sent' out
the first annual year book of the
state school, located at Good well,
Okla.
This year book, issued by the
students of the P. A. I., show9 on
every page the great amount of
work that may be accomplished
by the youth of our land if their
energies are intelligently directed
along practical educational 'lines.
We would like to give you a
peek into this year book that you
might know what our neighbors
are doing in their munc, debate,
basket ball, sewing class, cooking
class, botany, corn judging, bas
ketry, Shakespeare Club, gym
nasium work, manual training,
where the boys in the orchestra
make the instruments on which
they play, and the Y. W. C. A.
work. But, as we cannot, will
say the class poems, songs and
yells, together with all the above
work, bespeak a much older in
stitution than the P. A. I.
We congratulate Prof. Black
upon results, and may the future
results of this school be propor
tionally as great as the energy and
hard work of the superintendent
, of the institution.
A meeting will be held at the
Baptist church at 8 oclock, Fri
day evening, June 30th, for the
purpose of organizing a class in
chorus and sight singing. It is
the purpose of the teacher to give
a thorough drill in the rudiments
and reading of music. All those
interested and those wishing to
take up the work from the begin
ning are requested to be present
at this meeting. ,
Mrs. M. E. Rossiter.
The boys' ball team have ordered
their new suits and hope that they
will be here by July Fourth.
I will sell on Saturday, "sales
day", four good milch cows.

Married
About twenty friends and relat
ives witnessed the pretty wedding
of Miss Vera R. Seger and Mr.
'vlloward M. Jennings, at the home
of the bride's parents, in northeast
Stevens county on the evening of
Wednesday, June 28. The cere
mony was performed by liev.
James Haskinson. The young
couple will make their home on
Mr. Jenniug's farm near Moscow.
The Democrat joins a host of
friends in extending congratula
tions. '
A light shower the first of the
week brought temporary relief to
the hay fever victkns, and fresh'
ened up the lawns.
Arrested for Gambling
Walter Drummond, John Hig
gle and Dr. Grimble were taken
up Wednesday on a charge of
gambling at the Grimble barn in
the east part of the city on Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday nights.
The first two were charged on two
counts, while Grimble will face
four counts. All of the boys ex
cept Drummond gave bond. The
game is said to have been poker.
Mr. and Mrs. Ohas. Molter and
family returned Wednesday even
ing from a visit with friends and
relatives in Illinois. They came
back in a new Overland touring
car, and were accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. H. G. Ayers of Charles
ton, III.
Manager Stribling is very par
ticular to see that none of the pic
tures displayed at the Photoplay
are in the least objectionable.
Henry D. Boyd has purchased

Street of J. T. Dalton.
Temperance
The history of the temperance
movement dates from ancient
times and we learn that the Jewish
Nazarites acted on total abstinence
principles.
Mohammedans and the higher
Hindu caste nominally abstained
from intoxicating liquors, this be
ing a religious obligation placed
upon them.
The first temperance society on
record is that of St. Christopher,
founded in Germany in 1517,
whose members were pledged to
exercise moderation.
An organization formed at East
Hampton, Long Island, in 1651
for the purpose of limiting the
sale of intoxicants, was the first to
be instituted in America. How
ever,the American TemperanceUn
ion was not organized on the basis
of total abstinence until 1836.
A crusade was started at Wash
ington Court House, Ohio, in
1873. It was an organized effort
against saloons and resulted in the
closing of many places where li
quors were kept for sale.
In these campaigns men and
women armed with weapons and
hymn-books persuaded the keep
ers to close their places of busi
ness or forcibly destroyed their
wares. The most powerful society
of temperance workers ever or
ganized is the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. It has au
xiliaries in every state or territory
of the United States, and is or
ganized locally in more than ten
thousand towns in the Union.
This organization is an organ
ization of Christian women for the
young, reforming the drinking
classes, stimulating the public sen
timent, and ultimately securing
the abolition of the liquor traffic
by legal enactment.

We sent out the census books
Monday and hope every district
clerk has received his by this time.
A few clerks have already sent
their annual reports to this office.
We are certainly grateful to them
for their promptness. They will
now please take the censts and re
turn the same to this office as
soon as completed.
To the dorks who have not sent
their annual report we wish to
say that it need not be sent until
after the census has been taken
which should be completed on June
30th or as soon after as possible.
The report of the amount voted
for school purposes should be sent
at the earliest convenience.
As the county superintendent
has to make a report to the state
superintendent of all the items con
tained in the district clerk's reports
it will expediate matters exceed
ingly if all the clerks will send in
their report some time in July.
And above all things, will you
not kindly fill out every item call
ed for, accurately. It will save
you trouble and us also, besides
our reports will then truly be of
value. Mart E. Todd,
County Superintendent.
The offering for Children's Day
will be taken at the Christian Sun
day School next Sunday morning

Notice the "after-the-ball-is-over" sort of a wail of the
Syracuse Republican in its issue of April 7, 1911:
'The fire brings back the thought to the entire city of
Syracuse the urgent need of a waterworks. It was some
time before the old hose cart arrived and connections made
with the Santa Fe tank to get the streams thrown on the
flames, and then, not enough hose to reach the flames was
secured. Tanks were filled and the water carried in buck
ets and dashed upon the burning buildings. Had Syra
cuse a waterworks, it is firmly believed, that the furniture
store would have been saved and also there is a good
reason to believe that the rear end of the hardware store
would have been standing yet. ,
One of the very pleasant func
tions of the hot weather season
was the luncheon and card party
given by Mrs. J. II. Cavanaugh
Tuesday afternoon in honor of her
guest, Mrs. I. D. Shady of Great
Bend. The invitations for the
party were written in rhyme, and
a prize for the best answer was
awarded to Mrs. Coleman who tied
with Mrs. T. W. Gaw for the
prize, a dainty booklet. After a
delicious four course luncheon was
served at 1:30 by the hostess, the
tables were arranged for whist.
The prize, a beautiful jewel box
was awarded to Mrs. Coleman.
The guest list included: Mesdames
Sutton, W. O. Woods, Stevesson,
O. M. Woods, C. E. Woods, Yo
cum, Stoufer, Dobson, Summers,
Henry, Flood, P. A. Craig, Na
son, J. B. Craig, C. W. Eidson,

The private car of President
Mudge of the Rock Island lines
was attached to No. 1 Wednesday,

were Superintendent Mullinex of
the power department; Gen Su

N. D. Ballentine, superintendent
of car service; P. J. Colligan, mas
ter of motive power; Division Su'
perintendent H. B. Greenough of
Dalhart and M. E. Paxton of Kan
sas City, general "manager of the
Grier system. The officials left
the Mudge car here and went
west on a later train. They were
greatly interested in the new build
ings here, and took away a num
ber of pictures of the new station
and hotel, which are the finest
along the system. It is probable
that the congregation of such a
set of officials here at this time
has some significance, but what the
visit meant no one seems to know.
