The SPOKANE REVIEW has done
excellent service to the public by
proving that the shooting of the
gambler "Big Mac" by Bacr was q
murder. The coroner's jury rem
dered a whltewashing verdict, bat
the testimony published In the RE.
VIEW proved that the murdered
man was In full flight from his as
sailants when he was shot Baer
shot down his victim in cold blood,
and ought to hang for his crime.
Tho murdered mans language be.
fore his death showed that he
appreciated the situation. He
knew that BIer was armed and
meant to kill him. The language
Of Baer was such as he never
would have dared to use had he not
known his enemy was unnrmed,
Baer's tongue lashed his victim into
"a rage, and then he and his door
keeper assaulted him. when "Big
Mac was ovcrpowcred and took TO

down. III was foul murder and
II does not Mitigate its utrocity to
say that the murdered man was a
gambler. The rain falls on the Just
and the unjust alike, and the bad
have the same right to justice
aud the protection of law as the
good. Baer evidently had resolved to
kill his enemy; he was armed and

the facts, and the public are justly
indignant at the effort of the corO-

The marriage OF Col. David Cook, Of
Samantha, to Miss Rachel Smith, at the
Infrmary last Thursday, might be called
brief affair, in that the ceremony per-
formed by Rev.. J. !. Taggart, OF Rains
boro, was short, sharp, and to the point.
The stay OF Mr.. Cook with the audience
after he knew that Rachel was all his,
was about as brief as the nature of the
case would admit. He made bee line
to the dining room with his Rachel,
leaving the balance OF those present to
their own meditations. But all guests,
numbering about fifty, were cordially re-
ceived and sumptuously fed by Superin.

Interesting Closing Exercises Last
Week ut Martin College.

PULASKI, June 7.-[Special. 7. i The
closing exercises of Martin Female Col
lege took place this week. Tuesday
evening delightful concert was given
by the Jenny Lind and Clara Schumann
Clubs" The pupils OF Miss Annie Wen-
del, from the College of Music, Cincin-
natl, displayed daintiness and breadth
OF execution which characterizes that in.
stitution. Wednesday evening, devoted
to the contestants for music and elocu-
tionary medals, was perhaps the most
interesting OF all. The contestants all
did well. Miss Connie Nelson, of Mem
phis, received the elecutionary medal.
Little Miss Helen Saunders, II years
old, received the music medal. The
pupils OF Mrs. Grace Gardner Sloane dis.
played, with admirable success, their
careful work in "tone building" done
this year. Mrs. Sloane is pupil of the
distinguished b. w. Foley, o! the College
OF Music OF Cincinnati. Thursday even

interested, and also for those who were
not interested, to know that the young
lady members Of the eighteenth class OF
graduates were neatly, tastetully and
modestly arrayed, while the boys were
dressed just as boys should be dressed.
The exercises of last Friday evening
were not intended to exhibit adornments
of the body, but the richer adornments
OF the mind. The whole Of the exercises
of the evening were impressive as well
as interesting. The adornments OF the
platform have already been referred to,
but the fact that the members of the
School Board occupied seats on the stage
was not mentioned. With them were
seated Revs. James Murray, pastor of
the M. E. Church, and R. w. King, pas
tor of the Baptist Church, who opened
and closed the exercises respectively by
prayer and the benediction. The teachers
Of the high school, Messrs. Smith and
Truesdale, also occupied seats on the
platform with Superintendent Major,
who, in few earnest remarks, addressed
the class and presented the diplomas.
There might be said to be a touch of
sadness conveyed to those who for the
last time stood before their teachers as
pupils-pupils no longer, but through
the exercise and their closing work on
Friday evening were ushered into the
larger school OF the world to make their
mark there.

Mr.. w. J. Truesdale has resigned his
position as one OF the high school
teachers in this place. Our personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Truesdale has been
but limited, yet sufficient to be able to
pronounce him a perfect gentleman.
His stay in Hillsboro has been brief
one, only year, yet Hillsboro recog-
nized the ability and value OF the man
by offering largely increased salary for
his services. Report says he goes to
Cleveland, O., at a salary OF 81 200 for
the first year with the promise OF an in
crease OF $500 each year for the two fol.
lowing years. While we congratulate Mr..
Truesdale ON his success, we are but ex-
pressing the true feeling of number of
our best citizens when we say that Hills
boro realizes that in his departure she
has lost frst.class educator and a
Christian gentleman, one who has made
his influence felt in the short time he
has been with us. But the assertion
needs no proof that Mr.. Truesdale will
make a. valuable citizen wherever he
may 60. The NEws.HERALD wishes
prosperity to the young couple who
came amongst us as strangers SO short a
time ago, and who now leave us as re-
spected friends and fellow citizens.

Made q Brilliant Fight.

Mr.. D. @. Morrow, OF this city, was de.
feated at Mansfield last week for com.
mander OF the Sons of Veterans of the
Ohio Division, after hard fight, by one
vote. The fight was between Northern
and Southern Ohio, and the North hav.
ing the most Camps, with the encamp-
ment on their own ground, had all the
chances. But with it all the Hillsboro
candidate nearly succeeded and was
finally elected by acclamation from
twenty-five candidates as delegate to
the National Encampment to be held in
st. Joseph, Mo-, in August. We clip the
following from the Enquirer, whose re.
porter was on the ground
The principal event of the day was the
election this afternoon for Colonel,
which occupied four hours, and was very
hotly contested. Hon. D. Q. Morrow, Of
Hillsboro; Lieutenant Colonel Charles
Deckman, of Malvern, and d. V. Hilliard,
Recorder OF Licking County, were the
candidates. Morrow was nominated by
the silver-tounged young attorney OF
Hillsboro, II. d. Davis; Deckman, by
Department State Auditor, J. H. Gilkey,
of Columbus, and Hilliard by Prosecut.
ing Attorney McElroy, OF Mt. Vernon.
Although Morrow was laboring under
the disadvantage of being from Southern
Ohio, and its candidate, while Deckman
was on his own ground, it looked all
week that Morrow's hustling friends
would succeed. The fight soon located
itself between Morrow and Deckman,
and, after a hot struggle, resulted in
Deckman's favor by vote in nearly 400
cast. Morrow accepted the situation
gracefully and moved that it be made
unanimous, which was seconded by Hill.
lard. Colonel Bundy then appointed
the two gentlemen to escort Colonel
Deckman to the stage. After few re.
marks, as Colonel Deckman is not much
given to speach.making, j. V. Hilliard
wasintroduced and. made happy speech
Morrow was then called forward from
all over the house, and made the speech
OF the day, in which he pledged himself
to the aid OF the Administration for the
coming year. He will speak at the camp
fire at Memorial Hall this evening, az
will Colonel w. E. Bunday, Mr.. ]. V
Hilliard and others. Morrow's hustlinl
qualities and phenomenally strong tigh
has made him the favorite of the city
and no member of the order is more pop
ular tonight. He is considered the
coming man OF the order.
