A neat illustration of the value
of sagacious advertising was given
at the Portland Young Mems
Christian Association meeting Sun
day, when General Secretary Nc
Donald stated that he had some
curiosity to know what method of
advertising reached the most peo-
pie. He had circulated thousands
of little dodgers giving notice of
the meeting, and he asked those
who had seen them, and had been
moved through that means to rise.
The hall was packed as full as it
could hold, and of the entire num-
Der about fifteen arose. Then Mr..
Mcdonald asked all who had read
the notices in the newspapers, and
had been influenced by them to
rise, and the crowd rose in body.

S. LawtoL; Recorder, j. S. Meyers.
After the division had been
mustered in the members marched
to Mrs. Vests hotel where the
Knights sat down to tables loaded
with things good to eat and we may
add they did the supper justice.
This division gives the requisite
number for a regiment, which will
be formed some time this month.
1t Is Fact
That there are in Oakland many
merchants who will willingly pat
ronize every stranger that comes
along with "fake" advertising
scheme, while they would not ad.
vertise in their home paper under
any circumstances.
That it would be paying invest

to get together and form an i'm

citation. THE REPUBLICAN will
lend all its energies toward the
scheme even if the aforesaid bust

That it would be a good plan to
keep all the money you can at home,
for dollar sent to another town
rarely ever finds its way back again.
That we are interested in some
thing that may occur before great
while and which will bring loads of
money to our city and county.
That of all mean men the one
that lies on another is the meanest.
That the future of Oakland, as a
manufacturing center, is not bright
and never will be any brighter until
some public spirited man comes in
and causes a rafting of dry bones.
That the man who is willing to
lend a hand toward helping his
brother over rough places is friend

That a new court house is badly
needed, and that it should be built
before some calamity overtakes the

PATTERSON ON SILVER.

In an able and exhaustive discussion
of the silver question, from q BIZ
metallic standpoint, Hon. Thomas M.
Patterson of Colorado, a distinguished
advocate of the white metal and its
unrestricted coinage, says: To-nights
dispatches give a denial to all the
charges made by the single gold
standard press to the effect that silver
is not a popular money and that il
lies piled up in the treasury at Wash
ington without any demand. United
States Treasurer Morgan has given it
out that no more silver certificates
will be issued by the treasury depart
ment for the present, as the limit pre-
scribed by law has been reached.
What he means is that there are
390,000,000 standard silver dollars and
certificates representing them in active
circulation, doing the business of
every section of the country. There
is not silver dollar left in the
treasury that can be issued, because
there are silver certificates already
issued outstanding representing every
one Of them. The treasury depart
ment also says that the reduction In
the number OF silver dollars in the
treasury has been brought about by
the recent large demands for these
dollars from the south to move its
crops and pay off farm hands. Is it
not glaring shame that the south
should be seeking in vain for silver
dollars to move Its crops, and the
eastern cities for small denominations
of silver certificates for their needed
commerce, which is denied them,
while there are 180,000,000 ounces of
silver bullion in the treasury which
the department has a perfect right to
coin into silver dollars and put in
circulation, either in the form of cer-
ti6cates or coins This extraordinary
fact should be well considered by the
southern members of congress before
they succumb to the demands OF
President Cleveland with reference to
anti silver legislation. If the treasury
department was not so hostile to
silver and was determined to give 1t
no chance until after congress has
acted upon the Sherman law, Secre-
tary Carlisle would listen to the cry
coming from the south for silver
dollars and supply their wants by
coming the treasury bullion, which he
has a perfect right to do. If he
would do this IL is confessed by the
treasury department II would relieve
the present demand for money in the
south, which money II is anxious to
optaln. AH

displayed heroic nerve and maintained

displayed heroic nerve and maintained
a calm and unrufiled front to the
last. Within an hours time after the
shooting took place the wounded man
was removed to his home where his
grief stricken wife and infant child
awaited his coming, Every attention
that surgical skill or loving hands
could devise was bestowed upon the
sufferer, but to no avail AT an carly
hour this morning the wounded
man began to sink perccptibly and at
1880 o'clock death intervened.
We would willingly draw the cur
tain here upon this intensely sad and
deeply deplsrable tragedy, but that
our sense of journalistic duty impels
us to utter aloud the sense of
unqualified condemnation which
must pervade the minds of all peace
loving and law-abiding citizens over
this seemingly unjustifable and un-
called for shedding of human blood,
by man sworn to uphold the law
and preserve the peace and dignity of
both county and state.
For Judge King, personally, we
have ever had high regard, and do
due homage to both the character and
talents of the man who, by sheer force
of his own genius, has risen to occupy
his present high position among his
fellow men. Nor do we forget his
years of good conduct and admirable
habits. But this does not in the least
palliate or excuse the hasty act by
which he has robbed his fellow man
of life, stained his own hands in hui
man blood, shamed his high office by
the commission of a lawless deed,
leaving wife and child to mourn the
loss of husband and father.
Immediately after the shooting
Judge King surrendered to Deputy
Sheriff Payne. He was released this
morning on $4,000 bond to answer a
charge of assault to murder, only to
be re-arrested few hours later for
murder, for which he is now in custo-
dy awaiting preliminary examination.

Mrs. Lucille Rodney Reaches Chicago
on Time and Wins $4,000.

mrs. Lucllie dodney heacheS Ch1cago
on Time and Wins 5000.
The following account of an excit-
ing event and descriptive of very
interesting and novel parsonage is
given by the Chicago press:
"a little woman dressed in black,
with her skin showing the effect of a
scorching sun, sat on retired seat
and watched Buffalo Bills cowboys
prance last night. On either side of
the little, woman sat a man. They
were no less sunburned than the wo-
man. Both wore cork helmets, but
neither coats nor vests. The woman
looked tired under the tan, but she
was not too tired to take an interest
in the show She had right to be
tired, for she had just come in from
walk of 1876 miles.
"Her name is Mrs Lucille Rodney.
The man on her right was her hus-
band, G. B. Rodney, and the man on
her left wis W. W. Holiday. Both
men accompanied Mrs. Rodney ON
her long walk from Galveston, Tex,
to Chicago. Holiday came as a guard
to see that Mrs. Rodney walked the
entire distance. The party left Gal
weston May 16, and at o'clock yester-
day afternoon they walked INTO Engle-
wood and, registered with the tele-
graph operator. The walk was made
for a wager of $4,000. Some curious
conditions were attached to the wager.
BY Its terms she had to reach Chicago
by Aug. 1. In, addition to this she
had to earn $500 clear of the expenses
of the party by selling photographs of
herself. On the trip from Galveston
to Dallas, 314 miles, she had to carry
3S pounds of'baggage. Most of this
she left In Dallas, and the bundle that
she carried the remainder of the dis
tance weighed only five pounds. In
this bundle Mrs. Rodney only carried
a gossamar and pair of rubbers. An
average of 23 miles day was made.
az wouldn't make the trip again for
any such amount of money said Mrs.
Rodney. The heat was fearful, and
although the people along the road
were as kind ,as they could be, the
hardships had to undergo we're ter
rible. l wore out eight pair of Eng
lish walking shoes. The trip from
Dallas to st. Louis was the worst part
of the journey The entire trip from
Galveston was made on the railroad
beds, and the road from Dallas to st.
Louis is all rock ballast. This tired
my feet very much. | have the sigma

tween Chicago and Galveston over

Mrs. Rodney is 23 years old and has
been married three years. This is her

After securing the ante-mortum
statement of Capt. Aliens, a DEMO
Graf reporter called on Judge King
and asked him if he desired to make
any statement concerning the trouble
for publication. He declined to make
statement, other than to assert that
the facts when fully brought out
would justify his act. Judge King
denies the correctness of the account
Of the shooting as published in this
mornings issue Of the Interstate
News. In the course of his remarks
Judge King expressed regret, not for
the act itself, but for the necessity
therefor. The other witnesses to the

A DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY.
THE ENTIRE CITY SHOCKED BY
ITS TRAGIC OCCURRENCE.
Capt. W. ]. Allen Shot and Killed by
County Judge j. j. King. Full
Particulars of the Tragedy.

Today the lightning flash of the tel
egraph wire heralds abroad the news
of another deplorable Texarkana
tragedy, and the once fair name of
our city is re-baptised in blood. The
details of the awful affair which has
shrouded the city in gloom and strick-
en- with grief the hearts of family and
friends are as follows:
A few moments before 8 O'clock
last evening, Capt. W. j. Allen, editor
of the Interstate News of this city,
was shot and fatally wounded, dying
at 1890 o'clock this a. M, by Hon.
John j. King, county judge of Bowie
county, Texas. The shooting took
place on Broad Street, at the inter-
section of State, while Capt. Allen
was en- route to G. w. Treher's news
store, on State Line Avenue. The
tragedy was the direct result of GER
tain differences which have existed
for some weeks past between the
Editor of the News and the gentlemen
composing the Commissioners Court
of Bowie County, of which
Judge King, by reason of
his official position as county
Judge, is chairman, The particulars
of this trouble, which resulted in a
fine of S25 being imposed upon Capt.
Allen, because of his structures on the
action of the Commissioner court in
raising certain assessed property values
are still fresh in the minds of ALL
The criticisms have continued up to
yesterday, several rather sharp
thrusts having appeared in yesterdays
issue of the News. The incidents OF
the shooting are perhaps best related
in Capt. Aliens dying statement,
which was made before Justice r. j.
Haywood, in the presence of witnesses,
just one hour before his DEATH The
dying mans declaration, as given us
by Justice Haywood, reads as follows:
