Neglected Women Deserve Neglect.

1t is her own fault if woman is I'M
loved and neglected This is harsh
statement to make, but is fact. Nor
tai man is weakling who can no more
resist kindness than a rose can resist
the sun. 1t is weak, helpless woman's
duty to make herself attractive and
pretty in the very teeth ofsdefeat, and
TO make herself agreeable to every one
in the very face of encouragement.
Call it hypocrisy, tact, finesse. or by
any other term, but she must turn in
the edges, and make allies instead of
antagonists of the people about her.
Spotless neatness, becoming feminine
attire. truth. kindness, cneerfulness,
love. and the loyalty that restraints her
from speaking i'll of her neighbors will
make any woman lovely, even though
she lacks beauty.

Handles of gold and silver are chill

This set the pace to those who were

And now have we umbrellas of finest

Eest TEy to Cook Cranberries.

One quart o. cranberries-one pound Of
sugar. one pint of water. Wash the cram
berries, then put them on the fire with
the water, but in covered saucepan.
Let them simmer until each cranberry
bursts open; then remove the cover OF
the saucepan, add tho sugar, and let
then all boil for twenty minutes with
out the cover. The cranberries must
never be stirred from the time they are
placed on the fire. This is an unfailing
recipe for most delicious preparation

city, where he underwent a surgical or
Grafton Saturday afternoon. His body

home in Jersey City. The funeral will

church there
The ex-governor had long suffered from
calcui formations and eventually de-
termined to submit 10 the operation. from
which he was assured by his physicians
he could alone expect TO secure perma-
nent relief. Dr. L. Bolton Bangs. the
specialist Of this city, agreed 10 take per-
sOnal supervision of the case and 70 per-
form the operation. Mr.. Bedle made his
arrangements and entered the hospital
on Oct. Il to prepare for the ordeal.
Saturday afternoon everything seemed
favorable and the patient was removed
to the operating room.
There he was placed under the infu-
ence Of anaesthetics and the operation
followed The undesirable Instructions
were removed and the patient rallied af-
ter the operation and seemed to be doing
nicely. II was not until today at noon
that Mr.. Bedle's condition took a sudden
change for the worse. Despite the efforts
Of the doctors he failed TO rally. Mrs.
Bedle, with their five children, were at
the bedside TO the last. The dying man
remained conscious up to within thirty
minutes Of his death. His death occurred
a little before > D. m, and IL thought to
have resulted from heart failure, superin-
duced by the shock of the operation.

ORANGEBURG. s. c.. oct. 21.-As yet
nothing has transpired to fX the identity
Of the murderars of Robert Copes, county
treasurer. yesterday. Every effort has
been made to apprehend them, but with
out success.
Armed squads Of men were riding in all
directions throughout the entire night.
1t is probable that not less than three
parties were concerned in the murder aud
robbery. Both shots were fired by the
same party from ambush. A place vas
found near the road in the bushes be-
yond the swamp from where the murder
was committed. where some one had laid
in wait for a long time. This was prob
ably the man stationed to give the signal
of Mr.. Copes's arrival. This swamp is
very thick on both sides and only about
one mile distant from the river. 1t Is
thought that the murderers each took to
the river in a boat or are now concealed
somewhere in the swamp
This morning Mr. Copes's sachel was
found some distance off in the swamp
with several Sits in it. This sachel con-
tanned what money was stolen. The
amount of money that is missing viii
hardly exceed SO.
Several hundred men have been cat
searching all day and they are determined
to leave no stone unturned TO assist in
the capture of the villains Tomorrow the
citizens of Orangeburg will probably in
crease the reward offered by the governor
by $500, making in all a bounty of $1,000
hanging over The heads of he murderers.
Circumstances indicate that white men
did the work. The murderers took every
thing the treasurer had except what was
contained in mis- left-hand trousers pocket.
Thus they missed the plumber. The victim
had the bulk of the money, S556 in green
backs. in that pocket. About So in silver
was in the money box. If captured the
assassins will meet a fearful death With
out a trial SIR. Copes's funeral occurred
this afternoon.
The state blO0dh9unds were put on the
trail Of tha murderers at about u O'Clock
tonight and tracked them II u point
about five miles distant on the Edisto
river where they evidently took a row
boat and went down the river. Treas
urer Copas was very popular and at
l5lst 500 men joined in the search for the
murdarers At . o'clock tonight the tee-
graph operator at OT3ngasburg reports
that five negroes have been arrested on
evidence not heard at the cor0nar's in
quest and that they have all been lynched.

Mob Il. Growing More Desperate.

CINCINNATI, Oct IA special from
Washington Court House says that all
day great, furious mob surrounded the
court house. in which the sheriff HAD
hidden under guard of three local COM
panies and the Fourteenth regiment O.
militia commanded by Col A. B. Colt o..
Columbus. Col Colt had given orders TO
fire if necessary 70 repel the mob. For n
long time men had been beating at the
doors with a big battering ram. Tonight
the south door was battered down.
Thereupon the mob made a mad rush to
get into the court house. The militia sur
rounding the door fired. Several men fell
dead and wounded. They were in the
front rank of the mob trying to rush into
the building.
Upon the firing the mob dispersed in
all directions. Immediately all places Of
business in the city We're shut up Mayor
Dreamer peremptorily closed all places
where liquors were sod. Every street
was filed with people. No time was lost
I'm carrying away the dead and wounded.
Business houses and the engine house
were converted into hospitals. All the
surgeons in the city were called into
service. Mothers, sisters, wives. sweet
hearts, crowded around the dead and
wounded and added pathos TO the scene
and fire TO the rage of the mob by their
lamentations.
Against the militia the indignation was
bitter. vicious and vehement. 1t pervaded
