TRIED TO PROVE
CLAIM BY PROXY
Eduard Ricpkc Had Half Bro
ther Reside on His Home
steadWas Arrested
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Ely went to
Highland Tuesday afternoon and ar
rested Eduard Riepke of that place on
a charge of assault and battery that
was preferred by Ferdinand Klepke,
a half brother of the prisoner.
It seems that the prisoner was un
der the impression that he could
obtain a residence by proxy and In
duced his half brother to come to
this county and live on his homestead.
Ferdinand Riepke with his wife has
lived on his brother's place for three
years. When he found that the gen
eral land office would not recognize
such a method of gaining a residence,
Eduart forcibly ejected his half broth
er from the land, and it is said, he
gave him a severe beating while do
ing so. He is also said to have threat
ened the complainant's life.
Deputy Sheriff Ely found Riepke
Tuesday evening, and he promised to
appear In the justice court at this
place Wednesday afternoon at three
o'clock.

H. CLAY PIERCE.
Prominent 8t. Louie Bueinete Man an
Exile en Account of Truet Fiyhl.
On account of the antitrust fight and
the Ha Hoy investigation In Texas H.
Clay Pierce, the oil magnate ami club
man of St. Louis, la said to bo virtual
ly an exile from home. Since the anti
trust fight began In Kansas some tlrao
ago Mr. Pierce hag been little In St.
Louis despite the many social and luisl
ness connections that his friends say
would make the city of the UniUdaua
Purchase exposition the preferable, res
idence for him. HI son recently moved
Into the splendid home lu fashionable
Vsndeventer place built by the elder
Pierce. "My father's permanent ad
dress will hereafter be at the Waldorf
Astoria, Now York." said young Pierce,
Mr. Pierce has for years boeu oue of

Bt, Louis. He is a director of the Na
tional Bank of Commerce and several
railway corporations and Is chairman
of the board of directors of the Mex
ican Central railway and of the Waters-Pierce
Oil company. It la In the
latter capacity that Mr. Pierce baa re
cently been In the public eye. Attor
ney General H.idley of Missouri In his
Standard Oil Inquiry devoted consid
erable effort to allowing that the Waters-Pierce
concern Is a branch of the
big oil trust. It came out In the In
vestigation Into the charges against
Senator Bailey of Texas that Mr.
Pierce had applied to ex-Governor Da
vid R. Francis of Missouri to recom
mend a lawyer who should advise him
In respect to the operations of the
Waters-Pierce company In Texas. Mr.
Francis recommended Senator Bailey.
The latter claims that In rendering
services to Mr. Pierce and his com
pany he did not know he was dealing
with a branch of a monopoly. Mr.
Pierce has been Indicted for perjury by
a Texas grand Jury, the basis of the
charge being that he made an ntlidavit
in 1900 that the Waters-Pierce com
pany was not owned or controlled by
Standard OH and that the companies
were not In any way connected. Gov
ernor Campbell of Texas has made a
requisition on Governor Folk of Mis
souri for Tierce's return to the Lone
Star State for trial. The Pierce family
say thnt the head of the house had de
termined before the charges against
him were made to reside In New York.

Howclls at Three
score and Ten.
TUM nation, Indeed the world,
has Just boon celebrating the
centenary of Longfellow's birth,
and now the public Is remind
ed that one of the greatest of living
Amerleau men of letters, William Dean
Howella, has reached threescore and
ten, at which age a man Is supposed to
ho able to retire on his laurels If he a-
desires. But, though Mr. Howclls has
won laurels In plenty, he evluoo no
disposition to cease from winning
unr, and hU literary output ahowa no
particular diminution lu quantity or
deterioration In quality. Mr. Howella
has received many congratulations on
coming to a good old ago without
serious Impairment of his mental or
physical powers. Ills place In Amor
lean literature la secure, and, while 11
is too early yot to determine his exact
rank among bis contemporaries, no one
competent to Judge questions his right
to a permanent place In the temple of
fame.
Mr. Howella was born on March L
1W, and, like so many other men who
have made their mark lu the world, li
a native of Ohio. It was In the little
town of Martina Ferry that he first
aw the light. He Is a graduate of a
newspaper otllce, which la generally
regarded a one of the best Instltutloni
of learning a young men can attend.
Honorary degrees have come to him
from Yale and Harvard, Columbia and
Oxford. His luherlted taste for lltera
tuw was Intensified by the atmosphere
which pervaded his father's prlntlm
otllce ami editorial room, for the nov
elist's lire was a coturtry editor, and
It has been said that the papers ho Is
sued possessed literary flavor some
what beyond the appreciation of the
pioneer community to which they were
addressed. This characteristic and his
advanced abolition sentiment made
Journalism an uncertain' proposition for
the senior Howell.

at the case and aided his father In ed
iting the different papers the latter
published and In IKM became Colum
bua correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette. Three years later, at twenty,
two, he was appointed news editor of
the Ohio State Journal. He then haJ
a consuming ambition to become a
great poet, and some of hU verso had
been published in the Atlantic Month
ly. It was In 18.VJ that his first vol
urn of poems was published. The
next year he appeared ns author of a
campaign life of Abraham Lincoln, and
thl was worth writing, not only be
cause It had a gTent personality ns Its
subject, but also because It brought
Ilowells a consulship at Venice, pin
him In the way of studying the Italian
Ungunge and literature nud thus had
a potential Influence up.m bis subse
quent career. He remained at Venice
until 18;.", and the Impressions of his
stay there were embodied In "Venetian
Life," l.SW, and "Italian Journeys,"
18;7. On his return to the Knlted
States be was for a time connected
with the New York Tribune and the
New York Times and also with the Na
tion. He served for some years as ed
itor of the Atlantic Monthly and for n
half dozen years conducted the crltlcnl
department of Hurper'a Monthly culled
"The Editor's Study." He has also
been editor of the Cosmopolitan Mag
azine. Ills published works almost
equnl In number the years of his life.
When Columbia university gave Mr.
Ilowells the degree of doctor of letters
Professor Harry Thurston Peck In pre
senting It said:
It would be superfluous In me to
numerate In this pn.'S'-rire Ms many
titles to our admiration, whether ns atu-d-;nt
and expositor of Italian poetry, n
essayist or ns critic. Whon we apeak nl
name we think first of nil of what he
has achieved In literature through the
medium of fiction. It is only In a narrow
sense that wc call It fiction. In n broader
and more voracious Bcnnn that fiction is
ss true as truth Itself. ThroiJKli It ho has
becomo, a It were, the interpreter of Mo
own countrymen to themselves. And ho
has been something more than this, for
he has gone down beneath those purely
auperllclul differences and peculiarities
which constitute the types that nra called
national and hue searched of the soul of
that humanity which Is universal.
Below are a few random quotations
from Mr. Ilowells works which may
be cited as "Howellslsms:"
Marriage Is a perpetual pardon, conces
sion, surrender. It's an everlasting Klvlng
up; Hint's the divine thins about it.
He was not one of those men who rush,
like air, Into every empty place. lie had
the lft of reticence, und the lady who
had planned the vacuum beheld his self
control with admiration.
