for the scientific msnner in which they
handle patients. They very seldom have

IT L. Holmes, train master on the In

been appointed TO the same position at

The yardmen say tramps are getting

casioned by the fact that cold weather is
coming on or a fear of the vigilance Of the

HIS CAREER CLOSED.

Hon. Charles ]. Folger, secretary
of the treasury, died at mis- home in
Geneva, N. Y. Thursday afternoon
at few minutes before five o'clock.
Such in brief, was the news of the
passing away from earth of one who
reaped large share of the honors of
this life, and whose fame rests on no
unstable foundation.
Charles j. Folger was a native of
Nantucket, Mass, and was born
April Is, 1918. When young boy
his parents removed to Geneva, n.
Y, where, as a boy and man the
dead statesman made his home. From
Geneva college he graduated with
high honors, in 1886, and three years
later was admitted to the bar of the
supreme court at Albany. His ad-
vancement in the law was rapid and
brilliant, and he SOON took front
rank among the lawyers of the state.
In 1874, he was appointed judge of
The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1884-09-09

the court of common pleas; in 1851
he was elected county judge. He was
then Silas Wright democrat, but his
views on the slavery question caused
him to join the republican party
at its formation and he was
an ardent supporter of that
party up to his death. In 1861 he was
elected to the state senate, serving
eight years IN succession, and for
much of the time he acted as presi-
dent pro tenn of that body. In 1869
President Grant appointed Mr..
Folger United States sub-treasurer in
New York City, where he remained
until elected Judge of the court of ap-
peals in the fall Of 1870. Gov.
Cornell designated him, in May. 1880,
as chief justice, and he was afterwards
elected as such in the fall of the same
year. In October 1881, Judge
Folger was confirmed as secretary of
the treasury, and in 1882 he ran
against Grover Cleaveland for gov
ernor of New York. He was defeated
by a majority unprecedented, though
not owing to any lack of personal or
professional weakness on his part.
Judge Folger was man of great
natural and acquired ability, of
spotless character, and the embOdi-
ment of honesty. His death is a
national loss, Americans will ever
revere his noble character.

Hon. John T. Heard and Judge w.

have claimed that he will draw on
Mr.. Heard'sl legitimate support
and that number of democrats will
vote for Shirk. The claim it is not
only'groundless, but foolish. Mr..
Heard has always ran ahead of the
ticket when a candidate for any posi-

say that be will do 90 in this race.
For every democrat voting for Judge
Shirk, there will be two republicans

thousand delegates will be in attend
aDce, and some very important ques-
tons will be brought up for consider

difference is baptism, and the Central

the substitution of sprinkling for the
real old genuine baptism, has created
a vast amount of confusion in the
Christian church.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Bishop Pierce, senior bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church. South,
died last Wednesday after a linger-
ing illness at Sparta, Ga. He was
regarded as one of the ablest men in
the church and his death will be
deeply regretted wherever he was
known. Bishop Geo. Foster Pierce,
was born in Greene county, Georgia,
February 8. 1911. He graduated at
Franklin college in 1929, and began
to study law, but entered the Georgia
at Macon in 1880. With
the exception of the year 1884, dur
ing which he was stationed in Charles
ton, S. c., he labOred in the regular
in his native state till 1889,
when he became first president of the
Georgia female (now Wesleyan col
lege in Macon. While here he edited
jointly with P. Pendleton the
Southern Lady's Book" In 1913
he was elected president of Emory
college, Georgia, and continued in
that Office until his election to the
episcopacy of the general conference
in Columbus. Ga, in 1854. Up to
1875 he resided at Sparta, Ga. He
was the author of Incidents of
Western Travel" edited by T. o.

For cold blooded, criminal neglect,
the treatment of Jonah Noe, who has
just been pardoned out of the peniten-
tiary by Gov. Crittenden, at the hands
of the people of Harrison county, an
nexes the bakery. He was sent up
in 1879 on a sentence of twenty years,
for killing a man he saw at his corn
crib one night, who proved to be a
respectable neighbor, returning from
fighting a prairie fire. Noe pleaded
guilty, and the judge, without inves-
tigating the case as he should, impos.
ed the above penalty. After FIVE
years, the people of Harrison county
concluded to do something in Noes
behalf, and on a statement of the
facts, the wronged man is set at lib
erty. Why was not this done be-
fore? There ought to be a good
many smitten consciences in Harrison
county, on account of the outrageous
treatment of this man, who, simple
minded as he is, was frightened into
confessing crime he never commit
ted.
