any reason to fear the gallows, that nm
pleasant instrument of vengeance being
reserved exclusively for negroes and
Italians. When they met, the eusuing
battle was fought with the utmost skill.
They not only shot at one another with a
splendid carelessness as 10 how many of
the spectators might be killed, but they
clinched and pounded one another with
magnificent energy. As is well known,
Mr.. Dunn escaped with his life, for the
reason that Mr.. Elliott struck him in the
forehead, which proved impractcable.
Mr.. Elliott was more wisely shot in the
abdomen, and died gloriously upon the
battle fed. His was death which fifty
crowned his noble life. Dime novels
teach us that to die with our boots on
is the only way in which a true hero
should consent to leave the world. Elliott
has gone without stain upon his memo
ry, unless it may be the fact that he never
robbed railway train ; and Dunn has
added to his laurels, and when acquitted
by Chicago iury--as he undoubtly will
be-he will more than ever deserve the
admiration and emulation Of The young.

THE DEAD GOVERNOR.
His Life and Death-An Imposing
Pageant-Ihe Largest Funeral Eyer
KNOWN i'm Georgia.

Alexander II. Stephens, governor of
Georgia, died o: his home in Atlanta,
at o'clock on the morHing Of the 4 h
inst.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens was
born in Talafaro county, Georgia, Feb.
II, 1912. He graduated at Franklin
college, Athens, Ga, in 1892, and was
admitted to the bar in 1884. He
rapidly obtained large and lucrative
practice. He was elected to the legis-
lsturc of Georgia in 1886, and was re.
elected for five successive terms. In
1912 he was elected to the state senate
In 1913 he was elected as a whig to
congress aud held his seat until 1859.
At the close of the thirty-ffth congress
Mr.. Stephens declined 10 be again a
candidate, and on July 2, 1859, he
made a speech at Augusta, Ga, an
nouncing his retirement from public
life. During the presidential canvass
of 1860 he sustained Douglass and de-
nouneed those who advocated a disco
luton OF the Union in case of Mr..
Lincoln's election; and in November,
1860, he made speech before the
| Legislature of Georgia against seces-
sion, on which subject he had an in
teresting correspondence with Mr..
Lincoln in December. He was never
theless elected to the secession conven-
ton at Middledgville, January 16, 1861,
and there spoke and voted against the
secession ordinance. He was s mem
Der of the secession congress which
met in Montgomery, Ala, in February
and was elected vice president of the
southern confederacy. On Feb. %
1866, year after the close of the war,
ne delivered a speech before the ,gis-
lature favoring the reconstruction pol.
icy of President Johnson. In the same
month he was elected to the United
States senate; but as the state had not
complied with the conditions of recon-
struction, he was not permitted to take
MS seat. In 1872 he was elected 20
congress, where he remained until
elected governor of Georgia in 1882.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
the Sh inst, and was the largest ever

A Wild RumOr from the West.

Rock County Herald :-About the
1st of August, 1882 four young men
started in a boat from Billings, Mont.
to go to Miles City via the Yellowstone
river, All went well for the first two
days, aud on the third night they
pulled their boat up on an island for
the night and began to prepare sup
per. Attracted by their fire two cow
boys discovered their party and
watched them from the opposite shore
until they were sure that their neigh
bors were asleep then, swimming their
ponies to the island, proceeded TO rob
them. One Of the party, ava kened by
the noise, was about to give the alarm
but was snot. This made it necessary
to kill the other three, which was done
in very short time. The cew boys
secured about s. in all but were arrest
ed and held for trial. The supposed
names of the murdered young men
are MS follows: Charles Hilbery, OF
Wisconsin, age seventeen, who weni
out last spring Sam Anderson, Swedei
and Ole Anderson. The others name
Is unknown. The friends of the un-
fortunates may obtain further infor-
ton by addressing Pete O'Keefe, Lu-
verne, MINI.

The Corn CrOp.

In the Bulletin of the New York
Elk perimental Station, issued February
18th, DIR. Sturtevant remarks as follows
The corn crop is assuming greater
importance in our agriculture each
year. According to the state census OF
1875, 673. 284 acres were planted in the
state of New York, yielding 20,294 500
bushels of crop. Even upon these
large figures, a slight increase gained
through choice of seed has signifi-
canoe. One bushel to the acre gained,
at rs cents bushel, represents value
of 1904 ,963. These figures certainly
call attention to the importance Of the
verifcation of our results, brought
about through the selection Of the seed
used. 1t will be noted that upon the
less fertile soil, our results were far
more favorable toward the tip kernels
than were the results gained from soils
in fair fertility. Hence, if we generaliZe
from such small data az we possess, we
may, perhaps too enthusiastically, in
dulge in the belief that the selection
of the tip kernels will tend as much to
the advantage of the poor farmer as to
the good farmer, and thus tend -
increase the yield per acre far above
the hypothetical limit of one bushel.
Taking the whole crop of the coun-
try, this extra effort to increase the pro-
duce of one acre or all the acres in
cultivation, multiplies the increase into
millions of dollars, and without very
much extra labor. al that is necessary
is the proper knowledge Of the Des
methods, and there is 40 better source
for information than from the expert
mental stations. We believe that VIE
consin will not long remain behind ia
this important work.
THE SEED OF 1882 IS POOR.
Prof. Geo. Z. Morrow, in reference tC
the last years crop Of corn, for seeding
purpose, says:
fear that even more serious loss
will come to many from failure to ap
preciste the situation, and from plant.
ing corn which will prove to have beer
wholly or partly worthless. Many farm
ers pant corn without testing its vital
ny. This year much that, to casuaI
examination, seems satisfactory, il

Scarlet Fever at Oxford University.

From the London TRUTH
The outbreak of scarlet fever in three
of the colleges at Oxford has caused
somewhat of scare at the University,
and some Of the colleges have been
seriously thinking Of sending the men
down. One case at Kreble proved fatal
after two days illness, and the college
lost one of its most promising under
graduates, who had recently taken a
first class in meds." The other cases
there, as well as those at Baloil and
Christ Church, are, hear, all progress
ing favorably. The epidemic has led
to a discuss IN IN the papers ON the
strange absence of any sanatorium Al

a leveliDg one to all conven-
tionalities, because science concerns
itself only about facts, and it is
heard now because science can only
exist where thought is free. Free
dom of thought is a powerful SOL
vent, and it is especially destructive
to all the conventionalities which
exist by means of the common
agreement that they shall not be
examined. We see that in politics
the divine right of kings is ques-
toned, and in the uniform tendency
of modern times toward democracy
the assumption Of government by
those who are governed. In social
matters we perceive similar move

What Science is Doing for
Modern Thought.

One OF the most important infu-
ences now at work is doubtless that
of science, which is Of course as old
as human curiosity, and is only new
in its results. That the effect of the
great advance in scientific thought
has been to modify considerably
most forms of religious beliefs can
not be denied; and in spite of the
many attempted reconciliations of
the two, it is not difficult to see that
some of the leading dogmas of
Christianity are doomed. Fortu-
nately, one of the rewards Of the
freedom that is given to science is a
lack of venom in its attack, and, on
the other side, there is an absence of
bitterness in those whose opinions
it unavoidably alters. There are,
Of course, exceptions; modern
science has not expelled arrogance
from the world, and enlightenment
has not wholly driven out bigotry.
Yet, in the calmness with which
the controversy is carried on,
we see how widespread is the belief
that dogna5 are less essential than
the truth which all men alike are
seeking. AS Professor Asa Gray
puts 1t: mo sensible person now
believes what the most sensible peo-
pie believed formerly. Settled
scientific belief must control reli-
glous belief 1t is one of the time
honored Jests which the late Lord
BeaconSheld thrust into his last
novel; that the religion of sensible
people IS what sensible people never
tell. They may not, but their toler-
ance OF new truths and the altered
position of ecclesiasticism declare
all that need be known.
The present interest in science is
distinctly part of the revolutionary
movement which demands. with
restless curiosity, why everything
should be as it is. This is the ones.
