Correction By Mr. Garrett.
Editor State Journal:
I wish to write a few lines to
correct the erroneous statement
published in the Perry, Kansas,
Mirror, and re-published in your
paper at the request of friends,
as regarded my son's death,
which occurred on Wednesday
night, January 20, 1904, and
not on Tuesday night. When he
started from my sister's home
to visit Mr. Brown's, he did
not say that he would probably
go north to visit Mr. Gay's and
Kunkle's, and as he did not re-
turn to his aunt's that night, he
was missed, but as the night was
very dark his relatives thought
that probably hi had stayed over
night at Mr. Brown's. But
when he failed to come home
next morning, Mr. Duree went
to Mr. Brown's to enquire after
him. There he was told that
Charlie had started from there
at 8 o'clock to go back to his
aunt's and Mr. Duree, who lived
with her. Mr. Brown said to Mr.
Duree that it baing so dark that
Charlie had met with some
friends and perhaps gone home
with them for the night. Mr.
Duree inquired of everyone
whom he could meet, but none
had seen my poor boy. Thurs-
day night came and passed.
Friday morning, Mr. Duree went
out again, inquiring for him, but
could hear nothing about him.
At noon Friday, Mr. Duree was
getting ready to go and search
for him when Mr. Gorrell came
and told him there was a dead
man under the bridge. Mr. Du-
ree said to him:
"It is Charlie Garrett, I know,
as he has been missing for the
last two days."
Now, to say that he was not
missed during all that time is an
unkind reflection on my poor old
sister and her son-in-law and
daughter, and their family of
grown-up boys and one daughter.
1 must express my heartfelt
thanks to the people there for
the kindness they showed me
and Walter, my only living son,
and to R. A. Duree and his wife,
who is my sisters's daughter,
and their sons and daughter.
To them I feel that I owe a
debt of gratitude; their kind-
ness could not be surpassed.
Here I will write a few verses,
transposed to suit my feelings:
How short the race my son has
run,
Cut down in all his bloom;
The course but yesterday begun
Now finished in the tomb.
Few are the days and full of
woe,
A man or woman born;
Thy doom is written, dust thou
art,
To dust thou shalt return.
Thou joyous youth hence borne,
IIowr soon thy years may end
their flight.
Long, long before life's brilliant
noon
May come death's gloomy night.
J. B. Garrett.

Mrs. Arthur Rhoads Very Sick
Mrs. Arthur Rhoads of Coyle
is reported very sick. We take
the following from the current
issue of the Clipper:
W. A. Baty returned from
Kentucky Saturday in response
to a letter announcing the serious
illness of his daughter, Mrs.
Arthur Rhoads.
As Rich As a Farmer.
The State Journal editor feels
rich—as rich as a farmer. He
feels so rich that perhaps there's
no happier person in town, un-
less it is Mrs. Woosley, for this
week her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Will Fitzpatrick, presented us
with a line milk cow. To say
the gift "is highly appreciated"
is hollow mockery. We are as
' proud as a peacock of the gift,
and happy as a clam that we
| will have plenty of "pure"
' cream to eat with our straw-
berry short-cake next summer
I Nuff said.
CAPTURED A BIG WOLF.
Rarty of Mulhall Hunters Capture
and Kill a Large Specimen Last
Saturday Morning.
A hunting party headed by
Capt. Si. Terr el, Col. Ira May-
1 field and Corporal Clyde Miller
I went out Saturday to scour the
; woods and plains for some big
| game—and they secured it. At
' noon the triumphant party came
I in with the body of a big gray
| timber wolf in possession. He
; was an exceptionally big fat
'fellow, and the plump dinner
basket of the old fellow indicat-
ed thrt he had been living
"high," and no doubt more than
one poultry house and pig pen
has suffered from his visits. The
boys were quite proud of their
trophy, and well should they be.

A large number of our friends
have called this week to see our
valentine. We are thinking of
sending it to Mr. Bristow at
Washington in order that he may
pass judgment on the good looks
of his appointee at Mulhall. We
do not doubt but that he would
be able to appreciate its beauty.
Col. Walt Matthews returned
this morning from Oklahoma
City, where he had been attend-
ing the Oklahoma live stock con-

tremendous crowd there, and
that the cattlemen seemed to be
