It iBn't probable that a pro phet would bo more popular ubroad than at home, if ho were equally well known in each place. Adam Shank, a wealthy farm er, his wife and four young child ren woro murdered on their farm near Gilcrcst, Colo., early Sun day. One child, Juanita, was fvmd wounded. She died later, l'iio bodies wore found by Shank's cousin, Adam George, whon he went to the farm to tako the family to church. Tho murderer apparently used a rovolver. The authorities aro looking for an employe of Shank who has not been seen since Sat urday. Three children wore found dead in bed. Tho mur derer in each caso had sent a shot into tho head. Mrs. Shank was found on tho floor besido tho bed. Shank was found in a hallway. Dost recall tho wild commotion of a little while ago, whon we had a sort of notion that tho pro fiteers would go. We resolved to proscouto them and to poison them and shoot them, and to treat 'cm rough and boot them ; whore's that movement, do you know. Where aro now the Earned attorneys whom wo often i'Sed to moot as they made thoir rantic journoys to tho court house and ropeat? How thoy used to roar ana thunder, how they'd stamp tho price of hogs under, and deprive them of their plunder, in tho namo of Mike and Pete! Aro the profiteers in prison, where we said we'd put them all? Is the boarder getting his'n, dragging round a chain and ball? Is the market's greedy ruler resting in tho mouldy cooler, or is Justice but a drooler, with its picture to tho wall? I am shelling out my dollars to tho soulless profiteers; 1 am overcharged for collars and for wadding for my cars; I am overcharged for sweaters and for" ink to writo my letters, and no buccancor in fettors to my wistful gazo appears.
