The in| ventive genius of man had not made this possible, aud even if it bad, nothing of the kind would have oc- curred. No sympathizing friends came to offer words of congratula- tions and good cheer and no costly presente were received for the little stranger. The night before his parents had applied at the hotels for lodging but were turned away and told that “There is no room iu the Inn for you.” Sadly they soaght the shelter of a friendly stable that offered a covering from the elements, and the little boy was born in a manger. Born into this world amidst the stamping of steeds and lowing of cattle, and yet the great- est, the grandest man that was ever born upon this earth, greater than all the princes, kingsand czars that ever ruled over a people—the only perfect man. “There is no place in the Inn for you.” Little did the keeper think that he was driving a woman from his door who was to be the mother of Jesus. How often has God's people, weary, dusty and foot sore, applied for food and shel- ter to the worldly, and been’ turned away with the cruel words “there is no place in the Inn for such as you.” How often are angels driven from our door because they came in the guise of beggars. “He who giveth to the poor but lendeth to the Lord” Our people should remember this on the eve of this another Christmas and see that none are turned away empty-handed. Through God's in- sorutable wisdom it has ever happen ed that those who have brought the greatest blessings to mankind have passed through the greatest suffer- ings, trials and tribulations. The gold to be purified must pass throuh the fiery crucible. The greatest men our natiou has ever known have come from the lower walks of life; have known poverty and want. Let us remember God's poor on this holy Christmas day and let it not be said that there is no room in the Inn for them. PERFORMS THE BABY ACT. W. O. Atkeson, after considerable physical labor brings forth a column and one-half editorial in the Union. From its reading we judge it to be meant for an apology to the people for his mismanagement of the pros- ecuting attorney's office. It cannot be considered a justification, for from his own statement he only suc ceeded in securing one jail sentence out of 70 indictments. Six of them were given changes of venue, 15 dis- missed, 33 continued, 7 tried and ac- quitted, 7 plead guilty and 1 mis. trial. What a showing for a county attorney of a great county like Bates! “It is true,” he says, “in some cases, by mere oversight, or otherwise, indictments have been found defective.” Yes, more “oth- erwise™ than “oversight.” A lawyer should not make so wany “over- sighte,” and “otherwises,” no matter how mauy indictments he has to draw. We would pay no attention to lus article, which is replete with personal vituperation, but for the reference he makes to “Allen.” He fails to distinguish between Mr. Atkeson, a private citizen and Lawer Atkeson, a public official, whose acts belong tothe public and are legitimate matter for criticism. Iu our case he performs the baby act by whimperivg about being a | of telling but we have no doubt the | in the Times to reach our readers, | after the active part he ard his co- horis took to prevent the members | | of his party from reading this paper, | jor even hearing our political sp« ak. | Mr. Atkeson has an organ which ¢laim-| an immense circulation, let utliize it $3,138.26, The awount of tax against railroads of the | which they refuse to pay on uccount | of the illegal levy, so says Cacle | Jesse Connell in his communication to the Union last week. He further saye: “Suit was brought against said roads for the payment of said taxes last spring, and after Judge Lay indicated that he would find for the defendant it was deemed best to} temporarily dismiss the case rather than have an adverse decision of the circuit court as precedent or excuse jers in the campaign last fall. him charged county, for the uon payment of the township taxes.” Well, weli! Uncie Jesse is frank, very frank to say the least. This was what the Times charged, that the suit was dismissed in order to secure the collection of this year's taxes. In other words Uncle Jesse needed these extra taxes in order to make his administration appear suc- cessful, and was more than willing that our people should pay an ille- gal tax to forward his own interests. This is the plain English of it, and we repeat that the lack of frankness cannot be charged against Uncle Jesse in his admissions. The Times would be recreant in its duties to the people of Bates county if it fail- | ed io publish these facts wherein every tax payer is interested; Unele Jesse's charge that it prompted by sinister motives and was | can not deter us from performing a duty | to our people | We do uot claim the levy is illegal: it remains for the courts to decide | that point, but we do claim that | Uncle Jesse Connell shouid have pushed the suit to its conclusior, and our people should have received the benetits, if the courts declared the tax illegal, the same as the rail- roads. Now, Uncle Jesse, you are a nice old gentleman, and you shouldu’t let your angry passions get the better of your judgment. You will get ex-| cited and excitement is not good for | the health at your age. | | I. M Smith, clerk of schoo! dis-| trict one, in Deepwater township,in forms us that his district made a levy of 35 cents on the $100 valuation | for school purposes, and in sending it in to the county clerk made a re- quest of that official to add enough to the levy to make £15 tax for con- tingent expenses. The tax wes ex tended against the district on alevy of 50 cents. He says that less than 5 cents additional would have given the $15, and that his people will re- fuse to pay the 50 cents levy. | Our Lights.

Died. Steele—Ten miles southeast of Butler, December 14th, 1891, Ola L Steele, aged 8 years, 10 months and 8 days, after an illness of 18 days. A sh:low has fallen on the home of Mr. aud Mrs. F. M. Steele and faun'y in the death of their only daugiiter, little Ola. She was a sweet little girl and noted for her wart affcetien for her parents and brothers Ola was most beautifully and approprintely laid to rest ‘till that morni when we all shall awake to meet and greet her again. “Suffer little children to come un to me, and forbid them not. for of such isthe kingdom of Heaven.” These were the words of our blessed Savior, sweet und comforting words to those fond ; ~and brothers, “ autumn winds go wailing by t ¥y moan; They tell in many a mournfal sigh, That thou, so loved, art gone Gone in thine early childhood glow While lite was fresh and fair; Gone from thy friends here below, A Heaven of bliss to share. Gone to the blisfal home abeve To dweli with the prophets of old; Gone to the home of eternal love, The joys of Heaven to unfold. Gone frem thy father’s home and hearth, And te hearts that loved thee so fondly bere Goue, oh no, not gone, only from earth To the loving hearts thou art ever near We'll miss thee in the social song: We'll miss the at the honr or prayer: We'll miss thee though the hours be long; We'll mias thee till we meet thee there. But oh, alas, ‘tis hard to say farewell, With aching hearts and lips all damb. We'll try once azain to say farewell. Our Heavenly Father’s will be done. Aud low before the Father’s throne will bow Asking for strength and grace To boar this last sad fearful blow Till we meet thee face to face. Farewell, ’till then, along farewell; Though tears are failing thick and fast, We wonld not question of God’s vill, Nor doubt his tender love at last. Written in memory of Ola Steele by A. D.
