FIRST YEAR. NO. 23.
KONAWA, IND. TER, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1905.
$1.00 THE YEAR
AGAINST THE WRONG.
Were there no God. I still would think the
Source, though all unknown.
Wherein are born the joys oi man, the gifts I
call my own;
The heart impels the tongue to speak s|nce to my
lot belongs
A woman's love, a sheaf of grain, a lily and a
song.
The savage beast, the poison vine, the evil of the
earth—
1 know not if the good and bad were only one at
birth;
But all the world seems gracious when I set
against the wrong
A woman's love, a sheaf of grain, a lily and a
song.
—Nixon Waterman.

Build your own house, in your
own way. When a man lives in

towns will surely have to pay
their expenses.
We fear Commissioner of Cor-
porations Garfield made a mis-

have gone to New Jersey.
It may be that those Omaha
school boys who struck because
of the presence of two Japanese
boys at their school had exper
ienced some of the surprises of
Jiu Jitsu.
It is characteristic of the Jap-
anese that they are leaving the
