The damage done will probably reach

IN MEMORY
OF Mrs. Margaret Kane Morrison, OF
Care CITY.

OF Mrs. Margaret Kane Morrison, OF
CATE City.
Mrs. Margaret Kane Morrison, wife
of Smith II. Morrison, died at her
home in Gate City, Tuesday, Octo-
Der the second. Mrs. Morrison was
seycnty-ive years of age and was the
only surviving sister Of Henry ;.
Kane deceased. Her illness had last
ell for nine weeks, and was attended
with extreme physical suffering, but
she bore it withouta murmer submit
ting humbly and trustinSly to the
will ofIlim who docth all things well.
She came Of a Longtime Of distinguish
ed ancestry, and was possessed
both of bright intellect and d beau
tifully rounded character. She never
for a moment forgot those Of lower
degree around her, and unsellish gen
erositv was one Of her distinguishing
traits Of character. Loving deeds Of
kindness characterized her life and
none appealed to her in vain or come
from her doors without a word OF
comfort, truly of her it may be sad
that to know her vias co love her.
While our hearts go out in sympathy
10 her aged husband and surviving
children. they have vouch-safed to
them the sweet consolation that they
monrn not. az those who have no
hone. The beautiful floral offerings
from her friends paid measer, but
tender tribute to her unselfish lie.
The light in the beautiful home on
The hill has gone ont forever, but the
God who a1licts his children does 1t
only in the fullness Of His wisdom,
and goodness and faith whispers that
it is well,

DICKINSON AROUSED.
Col. Richmond and Hon. Walter z.
Addison Make Republican
Fur fly-Liveiy Joint
DirCIG-cior,
Tuesday was Dickinson county

Tuesday was Dickenson's county
court day and an unusually large
crowd assembled at Clintwood to
hear the political issues discussed.
Col. Richmond and Hon. Walter Z.
Addison were on hand to represent
the Democrats, while Messrs. ,Hobert
Miller and Judge Anderson, did what
they could for Republicans. a joint
discussion was arranged, in which
Walter Addison opened in an hour
and Miller followed in an hours talk,
after which Col. Richmond spoke an
hour and he was followed by Judge
Anderson in the same length Of time.
Addison made an able and comprc-
honsiye presentation Of the issues of
the canvass, He was given close at.
tention, and his speech, evidently
made Il fine impression. Mr. Miller,
in his reply, consumed most of his
time in trying TO show that the coal
operators would be ruined by Demo
cratic policy.
Col. Richmond, in his reply, made
one Of the most eloquent and effective
speeches ever heard in this section Of
country. Those who know him and
have heard him often, say he was
never in better trim. He took up
Mr.. Millcr's talk and fairly skinned
that gentleman. Judge Anderson
followed in a speech that had little
effect Richmond and Addison won
the day for Democracy, and on all
hands it was conceded that Dicllen-
son county will give an increased
Democratic majority.

NEGRO EQUALITY.
Editor Post:

IIuttOi i OSt.
Last August family named Breed
ings, consisting of man and his
wife, step-son and step-daughter,
moved to Big Stone Gap from East
Tennessee. They said they were
originally from Ohio, and associated
with the colored people and consid
cred them as their equals, and told
them that in Ohio the colored people
went to the same schools with the
whites and were considered there on
an equality with the whites in every
respect, and if the Republicans got
in power here it would be the same
in this "cusscd country
Henry Watson, a qarky got very
familiar with the family, and the girl
wrote him several love letters to leave
his family and go away with her.
She met him out in the woods last
Sunday night by appointment, and
her family claims the negro scduced
her. Who is to blame for it? the
father,who took the negro in his fam
lily as an equal, or the political party
that encourages negro equality.

Mr.. Seth Hammer is clearly entitled
to be called Salem's humane lawyer.
He is fond Of fishing and shooting but
believes there is decency and humanity
to be observed even in persult of sport.
In some able articles to the Portland
plpers this limb Of the law lays down
some sound doctrine to the sportsmen
Of this state. He fairly makes game of
the president of the Mulsnomah Rod
and Gun club.
Mr.. Hammer shows that there are
moral considerations and ethical propo-
sitions involved even In shooting game
birds. He bluntly says: keep the
log out of the fields and prohibit hunt
iug for market" His proposition lie
'ound but we doubt whether it can be
,nacted into law, or enforced, against
the prevailing customs. We are all

The suggestion that school books be
published by the state of Oregon has
often been made, but our legislature
thus far has been too wise to embark
IN such scheme, whose results Ger.
tai Ily would be inferior books at en-
HANGED cost. California has had an un-
fortunate experience with the problem.
-Oregonian.
The Oregonian was fighting the Amer
lean Book Trust until recently. Now
it is apparently on the other side. 1t
does rot tell In what respect California
has suffered from state publication of
text books. That state supplies its
people with text books at au average
price OF 30 cents, aud puts money in its
treasury thereby. The state Of Oregon
does not pretend to have better schools
because it pays more for text books.

THAT OREGONIAN SALE.

The Portland "specialp 10 Saturdays
JOURNAL has caused commotion.
An editorial appears in both the Port
land OregoAian and Salem Statesman,
denying any sale Of the Ofegonian
plant to an Eastern syndicate.
The information that the property
had been sold was based on the state
ment of reputable attorney Of Port
land, made to reliable parties, and THE
JOURNAL had reason to believe there
was some foundation to the report.
There was no reflection intended il
the publication. 1t is not out Of all
reason that the property might be sold
and no crime committed in so report
ing.
The institution is valued at million
dollars. The people of Oregon are
Interested in its existence and ownel,
ship. AS a colossal aggregation fl
capital is involved, the people who pay
to keep up the institution, take I'D
interest in the subject. The news item
in THE JOURNAL was entirely in lire
with the demand for news, which it Is
newspapers business to supply.
These enormous inflated cspitalist'c
enterprises. like the Oregonian, can
only flourish by the ultimate opptes.
ion of the masses, the crushing or
keeping down Of all small enterprises.
Like some of the mammoth speculat-
i've banking operations at Portland, |
Tacoma and Spokane, they are upon
an insecure basis, of fictitious, wild.
cat character, of which 1t is hoped the
future will see less. We sincerly trust
Messrs. Scott and Plttock will be able
TO hold their property as legitimate
individual enterprise. But million
dollar newspaper plant and building
the pasttwo years has been an elephant.
1t has been load which probably no
two other men could have carried as
they have carried IT. We hope they
will carry 1t safely through the period
Of depression that is not yet oyer. Ore.
gon has better days Ia sight. They
will come on only slowly but they
Will come surely.

needed aud some other articles, q ladies

In the pocket of the new vest for safety.
It seems that he was about to tie up
his bundle of wares when frustrated In
his design and had to aee for his life. by
the returning Of some of The family
from church. And In his flight he
came in intact with picket fence by
which several of the pickets were de

which no doubt he had pocketed as 1t
has not been found,
