Mr. Jones Writes. In a letter from A. M. Jones at Keota, Col., to friends at this place he says they have had plenty of cold weather it being 20 degrees below zero. They had good crops of oats and barley, one of his neighbors had 300 bushels of Fall wheat and one had 400 bushels Spring wheat off of 20 acres, another had 625 bushel grown on same number of acres. His barley made 42 bushels per acre, one neighbor, joining l.im on the west raised 138 bushels i of corn and 1400 bushels of oats.' Wheat weighs 62 pounds per bus. oats 40 pounds per bushel. He says there is lots of good land near his claim 11 miles from Keota. Mrs. Jones is spending the winter with him in their new western home which they have just lately proven up and will soon get a deed from the government. We cannot help admiring the pluck and enterprise of Mr. Jones a man of his age and property interests in taking up a claim in the far west and successfully gaining a new home. * * * Public Sale.

HREMB IBS J SME BALLOT ! Railroad Managements Claim : Willingness To Arbitraite Matters. ( — The Journal has received the folj lowing communication from J. Hamptan Baumgartner, which is. self-explanatory. January 26, 1913. A strike is threatened by the Firemen on all the Eastern railroads. The strike vote now being taken among the 30,000 men affected, will undoubtedly result in a vote pledging the men to. walk out if their de mands are not granted by the railroads. Such a strike would seriously interfere with, if not entirely interrupt the operation of all the railrbads in eighteen states containing more than one-half of the population of the United States. It is important that the public know what is liable to take place. Tne strike vote follows various conferences between railroad managers and representatives of the men. The latter, in their “A True Statement" of these conferences, which; has been circulated among the men: in connection with a blank strike ballot, say:— “Evidence that the responsibility for a failure to arbitrate all matters in controversy (and thus avoid the turmoil incident to a strike ballot, and the distress that must result from a strike), rests upon the railroads and not upon the locomotive fireman, is an important part of this statement.” That the public may know how inaccurate the above statement is, the railroads in the territory affected desire it to be clearly understood that:— First.—The railroads are prepared to apply to the Firemen—and have already communicated this to their committee—the conclusion embodied in the award of the Board, which, to the satisfaction of the country, recently arbitrated the difference between the Ibcomotive engineers and the railroads. The roads have also signified their willingness to grant certain increase in wages** Second.—The railroads are prepared to arbitrate the present case independently by a Board of five or seven men appointed by some such disinterested authorities as Ghief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court, M. A. Knapp, ’ Presiding Judge of the United States 5 Commerce Court, and Dr. C. P. Neill ' United States Commissioner of L Labor as was done in the Engineers’ case. ) The Lecture Course.

A telephone call was sent for Marshall Rentfrow and advised him to bring assistance as Bly was in an ugly frame of mind, threatening to do injury to the inhabitants of the Druckamiller residence. E. W. Hire went along with the Marshall and they succeeded in landing the culprit in the lock-up. At his hearing before Justice Kitson he was fined $29.35 which was reduced to sls on his promise to leave town. DEATHS aCCUHRING TOST KK Mortuary Record And Funeral Announcements Os Grim Reaper’s Victims. Noah Cripe, aged 82. a wellknown farmer residing near Buttermilk Point, died last Thursday. The funeral was held Sunday at ten o’clock from the house. Mrs. Catherine Detweiler, aged 61, died Sunday night at 11:50 o’clock at her home seven miles west of Gqsheu*-/ complications, Surviving her are three sons, William of Detroit, Peter L. and Eugene H/of Harrison township and two daughters, Mrs. Lester Lantz of Union. Mich., and Mrs. Clarence Kehr of Syracuse, and two brothers and one sister. There are also seven grandchildren. The funeral was herd at the house, Thursday. Jacob Garber, aged 68 years, and aformer resident of Syracuse, dropped dead while at work in Goshee, Monday afternoon. Heart disease was the cause. The funeral was held in Goshen Wednesday and burial made in the Syracuse cemetery. The Stanley Lectures. Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley addressed comfortably filled churches at both her morning and evening lectures Sunday. She told of the work being done by the W. C. T. U. in this and foriegn countries and told of the evil springing from the liquor traffic. Mrs. Stanley denounced Peruna, Lydia Pinkham’s Compound, and like, so-called proprietory medicines, as concoctions I of whiskey and opium and unfit for | consumption. She will go from here to Indianapolis and lobby ip the interests of the temperance cause also against the substitution of electrocution for hanging as a capitol punishment. In fact she is decidedly against capito! punishment and favors life imprisonment as the ! penalty for murder. We heartily I co incide with her views on the lat- ; ter question. In our opinion, the jury who condemn, the judge who passes sentence, and the man ’ who springs the death trap are guilty • of wilful and premeditated murder, ’ while the one whom they are pun- ‘ ishing has probably committed his crime in the heat of passion.

WRITES ANOTHER : EUROPEAN LETTER __ . I Interesting Tale OF Travels 1 Os Switzerland Do you remember her death? It occurred only-five or six years ago and the story of her life with tragic ending, as does the stories of almost all these rulers, convinces one there is mostly irony in the old expression “happy as a queen’ Theirs’, Elizabeth and Franz Josephs, was a decided love match, so the story goes. His mother had arranged, and both families, the law, authorities, approved that the Emperor marry the Princess Sophie; but it was while on a visit to the home of her father. Maxamilan, duke of Bavaria, with this betrothal in view that Franz Joseph met and fell desperately in love with her younger sister, Elizabeth. So persistent were these two young lovers in their courtship and determination to marry that they over-ruled all obstacales and much to the chagrin and displeasure of both families, received the priest’s blessing and were happily married. The Emperor’s mother, however never out-lived her disappointment and anger at having Elizabeth instead of Sophia for a daughter-in-law Failing in all her efforts to deaden Franz Joseph’s love for Elizabeth, the wiiey woman at last concentrated all her efforts towards killing Elizabeth’s love for Franz Joseph. After repeated efforts and well laid schemes to arouse jealous dislike in Elizabeth’s mind, she finally with other spiteful of court assisting her in tale baring, succeeded in convincing Elizabeth that untrue to her. Elizabeth’s was not a natqre which stood for family discords, so without any attempt at protests or explanations she packed her belongings and accompanied by a maid whom she had brought with her from her fathers home, skipped in the middle of the night, intending to sail from Trieste, never to return. But her flight was discovered and high court officials, intercepted ’ere she reached the boat and induced her to return. . The Emperor, on his knees begged her to remain and even reproached his mother for her cruelty, but nothing could change Elizabeth’s determination. To avoid scandie. Prof. Skoda, of Vienna faculty, after much discussion signed a bulletin declaring that the health of the Empress demanded a change of climate and next day she sailed for Antwerp. She visited Maderia Norway, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic. To distract her mind she spent millions in building several magnificent chateaus, one of them the Achilleian, a palace of luxury and art at Corfu and now owned by Wm. II of Germany, costing more than $16,000 000, At one time she shocked all Europe by forming an intimate friendship with a circus woman and herself becoming a rider and trainer of high spirited and dangerous horses. It was ! whispered that Elizabeth was trying ’ to kill herself without the sin of suicide. Franz Joseph occasionally ■ came to her unexpectedly and used : all his persuasive powers to induce > her to return to Vienna, but Elizar beth’s was a love, which, once • wounded knew no reconciliation. . And so her years of prodigality > went on and she had planned a trip i through Switzerland. Franz Joseph r who had joined her for a week pro- , tested “I hear bad reports on Switz- ■ erland,” he said, “Full of anarchists.” j “I am only a poor woman, Francis” she replied, “They will not hurt me.” Yet while boarding the lake steamer at Geneva, (we have wondered if it I were the same boat on which we i crossed, as I believe there are only ’ two or three) like a simple tourist 3 with a single companion, the Count- [ ess Sztary, she was stabed by the f anarchist Lucchini. None suspected j that she was more than jostled by the crowd, it was done so quietly r the boat steamed slowly out. The t Hungarian orchestra struck up a lively csardas. Elizabeth fainted,

and the Countess discovered a tiny triangular wound above her heart. “Quick a doctor, the Empress is wounded.” There was no doctor and the boat put back to Geneva, but ere it reached the landing Empress Elizabeth had died. And over in Austria, a country we expect to visit wihin the next few weeks, an aged, but said to be the proudest old monarch of Europe, dines alone on gold plate from the famous service whose central decorative peice is worth $15,000, yet no flowers are allowed on the table nor no social functions held in the magnificent but solemn old Hofbury since the tragic death of the Empress Elizabeth.
