Cultivate in children who have it

done, to great extent, by providing
literature in a line with their peculior
tastes, using your knowledge of their
loneliness for a certain occupation or
pastime as your guide.
1T is six years since a petition sign

New York asked the trustees of Column

strongest opposer Of a movement only
just now crowned with success.
DIR. Cummings once said that de-
vout thought, a pious desire, holy
purpose is better than q great estate or
an earthly kingdom. In eternity twill
amount to more to have given cup Of

humble servant of God than to have
been flattered by a whole generation.
If the Bible is worthy of any conf
dence as the Word of God, then it is
worthy of the most absolute confidence.
A sort of halfway faith that half de-
MES and half af1irms, does not betit the
Christian. His proper position is to
stand by the Bible as true, to trust and
defend it as true, and, if necessary, to
die for it as true.-M y independent

ED. SILVER STATE: From your recent
editorial. Tightening Legislation" I
judge you have not been subsidized by
the lottery ring, and consequently may
be willing to give hearing to one who
believes that the people have still some
rights that should be respected by their
representatives, and they have not been
resp ,,ted by them in the passage of the
law calling for a special election on the
eleventh of next month. At that time
some fourteen amendments to the Con-
stitution, the very foundation upon
which our State Government is built,
to be submitted to the people of this
state for ratification or rejection upon
one weeks notice from the Board of
Commissioners. It is f. fraud, because
upon such notice as this without any
opportnI ity for consideration or dis
cuse n; ct cne-half the votes Of the
State Gun be polled, and the worst of
the matter il that it is q part of the
scheme that not one half of them shall
be pclled, nor any opportunity for con-
sideration or discussion given. Upon

cincts. Ana why all this indecent

Killed on the Rail.

Four cars of a freight train were de-
rallied about $50 O'CLOCK Tuesday even
ing at North East and blockaded the
northbouud track for four hours. This
accident while not directly attended with
loss of life was Indirectly the cause of
two men meeting with horrible deaths.
William Heath, trackwalker, was
making his usual tour of inspection about
$50 o'clock when he was struck and in
stantly killed by wrecking train on its
way to the freight wreck. Mr.. Heath
Was walking south on the northbound
track, as is the custom. when the wreck
ing train, contrary to custom, came along
moving south on the track on which he
was walking, an unusual occurrence. Mr..
Heath, it is thought, heard the whistle
which was blown but supposed that the
approaching train was on the other track.
Mr.. Heath was about 60 years old and
leaves widow and number of grown
children. He was an uncle of Thos.
Heath, trackwalker, of this place.
The body of Aaron KInsloe, a we'll
known colored man, was found Wednes-
day morning lying between the north and
southbouud tracks about mile south of
North East. The physician who exam
ined the body thought he had been dead
a number of hours. 1t is supposed that
Kinsloe was walking from North East
to Mechanics Valley where he resided.
He was probably walking on the SOUTH
bound track when train moving north
on that track approaching from behind
struck him. Klnsloe was a veteran of
the late war aud received a pension. He
was about So years old and leaves num-
Der of children. No inquest was held in
either case.

Large Barn and Contents
Burned.

A large barn on the farm of John Nc
Kane, situated in the Fourth district,
near Barksdale, was burned with it's con-
tents between eight and nine o'clock
Sunday evening. The fire was discovered
by Il Mr.. Beers who resides in the neigh
borhood. He succeeded in releasing three
horse and eight cows from the burning
building. All the other contents of the
barn belonging to the tenant, young
man named Harry C"vngton were de-
stroyed. These included about % tons
of ha2, considerable grain, harness, agri-
cultural implements, etc. The house was
on fire at one time but the flames were
extinguished. The barn was Insured in
the Farmers and Mechanics Mutual
Fire Association for $1,000 which does
not cover the cost by several hundred
dollars. Mr.. Covington had no insurance
on the contents of the building aud his
loss is quite heavy. He is an industrious
young man and has the sympathy of the
community.
