EVERY FRIDAY.

THAT Barney Higgins, the ex-mayor OF
Somerset, deserved death for the out
rsgeous assault on Miss Wood, which
left her raving maniac, no one will de-
nv, though some sticklers for the letter
of the law may claim that it and not her
brother should have been his slayer. II
the law could always be depended upon
to punish such crimes and not be used
as in Higgins case to prevent or delay
punishment, we should emphatically
agree with the latter class. But unfor-
tunately the written law cannot always
be relied on and the unwTitten must in
such instances take its place. Just as
Higgins was congratulsting himself an q
continuance and another chance to
tlwart the justice that he feared, l.. ID.
Wood, outraged and defied at further
delay, sent ball into the lecherous body
OF the destroyer of his sisters reason
and it did the deadly work intended.
This occurred at the last term OF the
Dsnville circuit court and Wood was
held to appear at the present term in
bonds of $4,000. His trial was set for
Tuesday, but Gov. Brown anticipating q
verdict OF acquittal, ended the case go
far as the courts are concerned by doc
ument which concludes with these
words: IL believe that every father,
brother, son and daughter in the Com
monwealth will say that Higgins de-
served death, and l now pardon the
brother Of the outraged girl for having
slain him." The ladies of Somerset and
Danville took great interest in the case
and it was mainly through their efforts
that the petition for pardon was signed
by so large number OF influential and
law abiding citizens.

The long and bitter contest for the
Louisville mayorality nomination was
ended Tuesday in a sweeping victory for
Tip Tyler. the present incumbent, who
beat ex-Mayor Jacob by 300 majority.
1t was the first time the gentleman of
the yellow rose had ever known defeat,
and he and his henchmen are both sur.
prised and chagrined. There was great
deal OF disorder during the primary, a
number OF fights and several arrests re-
sulting. Mr.. Jacob is an exceedingly
mild hammered man and very popular,
but the fact that he once ran against a
democratic nominee and the further fact
that the people wanted to endorse the
splendid administration Of Mayor Tyler
were too much for him. Judge X. II.

A child went rnerrily forth to play,

For you are part Of Gods great plan"

How, why OF for what all strange things are
She was only child at school.
But she thought, "'Tis part Of Gods grea

That even l should do all that can"
So she helped another child along
When the way was rough TO his feet,
And she sang from her heart little song
That we all thought wondrous sweet,
And her father--a weary, toll worn man
Said, II, too, will do the best that can."

When Artemus Ward died, the press
of England and America was filed
with tributes to his memory. In New
York a meeting of newspaper people
was held, at which it was resolved
that his memory should be perpetu
ated. The manner in which this was
done was amusingly illustrated by a
story told in Harper's Magazine
some years ago. Whether or not
the anecdote would be true today,
we do not know.

done, he made one end Of the rope !
fast securely around tree and the |
other around his body. Then he
picked up one pile of the rope and
hung it carefully over his arm and
