WHEELER.
bv a. v. m.
Not !o the turn a It of vwr'a arms.
Not with the cannon and call to arms,
Only the sun of Peace on High;
Why mid these scenes must a hero die?
Softly a name is whispered low;
Ottiof the sunrise to sunset glow.
Up from the 8outh with the Jassimine's
breath,
Bringing a message feom life (o death.
Softly an angel is bending low,
Laying a wreath on a brow of snow.
North and South in a common woe,
Clasping hands and in voicea low,
Mourn the one whom they loved beat-
Wheeler, the Nation's son, at rest.
One by one the old heroes of the civil
war are passing to the other shore—
the South has but few left, aod the late
death of Gen. Joe Wheeler leave an-
other vacant chair.
We are going to get statehood,' but
when?
And now the German paper at Cor-
dell—the Vcrwarfs—is using the court
house ring for a pin cushion.
Is it possible for the strong person-
ality of two men to draw to themselves
aii felmost unanimous party support for
president? "The Roosevelt party/1
'•The Bryan party." How does that
sound to the average voter? /
The statehood-bill has passed the
house and gone to the upper "house of
lords,M there to be cuffed and beat
about by the politicians. It will either
come forth aa a party measure or be
hog-tied by that august body.
It is announced that gold is flowing
into Mexico in great gobs and chunks.
When the Orient comes gliding along,
making regular trips to and from the
land of the Aztex, we may expect our
just distribution of the yellow metal.
The politician for revenue, only, is
a sly "varmint." He infests the dens
about the court house and wears a
smile so bland and lamb-like that the
very elect are sometimes deceived. Be
hind closed doors, when the sun goes
down, is when he shines in his true
light.
These fellows who depend upon ma-
nipulations of the ring for political ad-
vancement are entitled to have their an-
nouncements for office encircled by a
ring. This would be honest, snd no
further explanation would be necessary.
The News-Boy will so distinguish this
class of candidates, by signed request
of such candidate.
On account of the rate war inaugu-
rated by the Chicago Great Western
railroads, Kansas City merchants are
now paying less freight rates than those
of St. Louis. The building of the
Orient will open to Kansas City a vast
trade territory and place that city high
up among the leading markets of the
Western world. Small towns along
this great trunk line will share the ben-
efits. Better locate on the Orient.
The man whom Christ leads never
falls into the ditch.
Work on the handsome academy
building at Cordell is progressing in a
satisfactory manner, and that struc-
ture, when complete, will ba the pride
of the town and a credit to Washita
county. Arrangements are now under
way for a big celebration at time of
coroer stone ceremonies, to be con-
ducted by the Masonic fraternity.
When completed as now planned the
Orient road will hare 271 miles in Kan-
sas, 200 miles in Oklahoma, 560 miles
in Texas and 473 miles in Mexico, a
total of 1,506 miles from Kansss City
to Topolobampo, Mexico. The road
will be the short line from Kansas City
to the Pacific coast. The Santa Fe is
2,120 miles long from Kanras City to
Sao Francisco. The Harriman route
from Omaha to the same place is 1.848
miles long. The Great Northern from
St. Paul to 8eattle is 1,820 miles, snd
the Northern Pacific route from St.
Paul to Seattle is 1,913 miles.

There will be much rejoicing in south'
western Oklahoma because the secre
tary of the Interior department has is-
sued an order opening to lease the pas-
ture reserve of 2x1,000 accrea, known
as the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache
lands. This action will furnish homes
for more than thirteen hundred fami-
lies, and the output of the farms thus
opened to the white man will greatly
increase tiklahoma's annual production
ot agricultural waeKb,—Ofclahs—n.
We always fsel sorry for a boy when
we see him learning to roll a cigarette
artfully, as we know the habit is fas-
tening its fangs upon him and will
damage his mind, health and business
qualifications. The habit is useless,
injurious and expensive.—The Athens
Bsnner.
It is bad enough to see a youngster
rolling a cigarette, for the reason given
^>y the Banner, but it is worse to see
him pull out his cigarettes already
made and commence smoking one. For
in the last case, nine times in ten, he is
smoking tobscco mixed with a drug of
deleterious character. It is the already
rolled cigarette which puts him in the
grave the quickest.—Dallas News.
