J. V. Deacon, of that board says: "From the standpoint of economy we consider the navy bean a good deal better than the potato. There is no question about it. It surpasses the potato both in food and in price." Now the bean in its primitive state Is a plant we have all often met, And when cooked in the old army style It has charms we never can forget.

'Tis the bean that we mean; And we'll eat it as we ne'er ate before; The army bean -nice and clean, We'll stick to our beans evermore. Beans for breakfast, Beans for dinner, Beans for supper, Beans!

-Call, June 27. When Judge 0. L. Moore, of Abilene, applied with eight others for the position of reporter for the supreme court at a salary of $2,400 per year, there was nothing for them to do but be bound by their own decisions and give him the preference, as Mr. Moore was one of the youngest soldiers of the Union army, and thoroughly competent from his experience in practice of law.

Bellville Telescope: If the people of this state want a business man for governor, one who will achieve things with little noise and bluster, yet firm and progressive. They will go along ways before they find a better man than Arthur Capper. He has said he will treat all factions, classes and shades of Republicans alike, and stand for a policy which will harmonize the Republicans of the state. His word is good with those who know him. He'll do just what he says, and will not make much noise in doing it.

Mr. Capper is one of the most mild mannered man we ever knew. A judge of human nature, practical, even tempered, we never knew him to make a radical statement atout any proposition. He has his convictions, but is ever considerate of others, and you can always get an audience with Arthur Capper. Rev.

Russell H. Conwell of Phila- delphia, and Rev. F. B. Moyer, of England, were selected by the Baptist World Alliance as envoys to St.

Petersburg, Russia, to seek permission from the Czar to erect a Baptist University in that city; Rev. Conwell will have a letter from President Taft, and Rev. Moyer from the British foreign office. One delegate to the Baptist conference came under a $5,000 bond which will be forfeited if he fails to return home. He is Rev.

Kostromin, a Russian Baptist preacher whose religious activity has caused him to be arrested 82 times, and once suspended by his thumbs over night, yet had to furnish bond to return before he was allowed to leave. DIED--At his late residence in Oakley, June 22, 1911, George Buell, aged 76 years. George Buell was born in Ravenna, Ohio, in 1835, and in 1850 moved to Michigan, where he was married in 1857 to Miss Sarah Cook. Their only child Laura was born in 1860, and in 1862 Mrs. Buell died.

Aunt Julia, who has cared for all the children of the Buell families, was a mother to Laura and cared for her sister Rhoda afew years younger than herself, also Mrs. Henry Scrafford, who was an adopted daughter and who died here in 1883. The Buell families came to Cawker in 1879, George having a sheep ranch (where George Bemis now lives, ,) for two years, then moved to a ranch on Salt Creek to care for the sheep belonging to a stock company In 1881 he moved to his own place at Russell Springs, becoming a stockman on his own account, and at the time of his death owned 1300 acres. Miss Laura Buell was a teacher in the grammar grade in the Cawker schools, and a few years ago while teaching in the deaf and school in Olathe, had a slight stroke of paralysis, which has increased until she is blind and perfectly helpless. About two months ago "uncle George" began to fail and became bedfast, the machinery of life running slower and slower so that for several days they watched to see if breathing, and just as the clock struck twelve on the 22 inst he ceased to breathe.

The helpless daughter, and aunt Julia aged 80 years, and aunt Rhoda aged 74 years, are left to care for themselves. L. L. Buell, of Cawker, is the last of the family of boys. Death of George Buell, Death of John A.
