"You tell me nothing that have not

"But now that The game is played and
won, why should we bear malice? will
say this, that if ever / were in such n
plight as that which pretended in the

to meet a more gallant protector or q
truer-hearted gentleman than Col. Eth

your breast"
"But you took them none the less"
"They were necessary 20 me and to
Germany. knew the arguments which
they contained, and the effect which
they would have on the prince. If they
had reached him all would have been
lost"
"Why should your highness descend
TO such expedients when score of these
brigands who wished to hang me at
your castle gate would nave done the
work just as well?"
"They are not brigands, out the best
blood of Germany" she cried, hotly.

When, instead of their news, you arrived

Rubicon now, and nothing can bring
him back. You can return these to the
emperor and tell him that we refused
TO receive them. No one can accuse YOU
then of having lost your dispatches.

voice of the soldicr-poct ss he sang
from the chair. And understood thcn
that there was something terrible in
this strong, patient Germany, this

THE SOCIALIST CONGRESS PROGRAM

Demands Much More sweeping Than
Those Of Former Years.
New York. Aug. "A dispatch from
Berlin says:
The executive committee OF the So
ciaiist congress. which assemblies In
Breslau Prussia. In October. has for
warded to leading socialists of the
United States for revision and recon-
mendation copy OF the program to
be submitted TO the gathering as the
international platform OF the party. It
is much more radical than the program
of previous congresses. 1t demands
legislation for compulsory attendance
at higher schools. and the establish
ment by the different governments OF
industrial and agricultural technical
schools, and of free colleges and uni-
versities.
A demand Is made for the absolute
control OF all landed property. inciud-
ing forests. and of all water, gas and
other companies by the municipalities
in trust for the people. Other demands
are for national systems of insurance,
by which aged workingmen may be
saved from u pauper's fate. and aid
given to their families after death, the
premiums to be paid by the govern
ments. and for the regulation OF labor
disputes of every and all kinds by COM
pulsory courts. which shall have the
authority OF the highest legal tribunals
and whose decisions shall be final.

n. II. Dinkens killed by Dabney Marshall
aud His Friends.

Brandon. Miss. Aug. s.--At 3 n. m.
today. Dabney Marshall, prominent
lawyer and member of the state legisla-
ture from vickshurg and two of his
friends shot and killed X. T. Dinkens.
agent OF the Austin Road Machine
Company. while standing on the plat
form OF the depot. Dinkens was APP
preached by Marshall and two compan-
ions. II. II. Coleman and o. p. Fox. of
vicksburg. Marshall said: This Is Mr.,
Dinkens." and placing the pistol at
Dinken's stomach, discharged the wea-
pom. Dinkens grabbed the pistol Just
as II was fired and possibly the first
shot did not take effect. As Dinkene
backed away from Marshall there was
a ftisilade from Marshail's compan-
Ions. 1t is thought Dinkens fired Mar
shailfs pistol at the latter. as II was
found in his hand when dead. Mar
shall. Coleman. Fox and Marshalrs
law partner. vaiens. surrendered.
Two weeks ago Dinkens and Marshall
occupied the same room. but different
beds. at the house In Raymond. Next
morning Dinkens said Marshall was
guilty of a crime similar to the one for
which Oscar Wilde Is now serving a
term in an English prison. When the
story came to the ears of Marshall, he
denounced 1t as a lie through the press.
Dinkens. however. maintained that the
story was true. Marshall is the demo-
cratic nominee for fioater senator for
Warren and Hindes county. The kill
ing Is strongly condemned.

story of the Failure.


VIM. Goodyear. editor OF the Paiouse
News was in the city yesterday and
made the following statement In re-
gard to the closing OF the bank:
While the closing OF the Bank of
Palouse was great surprise II occa-
stoned little excitement. 1t was known
that the bank, like all the business In
stitutions OF the whole country, had
been carrying heavy load. but it was
also known that the business had been
conducted on very conservative basis
and that many of the loans would be
collected this fall as soon as the wheat
crop was harvested. The officers OF the
bank were feeling much encouraged
and had not the slightest idea OF being
compelled to close until day or two ago
when demand was made upon them by
parties who they claim had agreed to
walt until November 1. In justice to
the other creditors who had entered in
TO similar agreement they declined 10
pay 1t and closed the doors.
The officers OF the bank, Mr. Cross
and Mr.. Payne. have the confidence of
the entire community and the depos-
itors feel that everything was done
to avert the calamity and that they
will be paid dollar for dollar.
The Security State bank was not af-
fected by the closing OF the other insti-
tuition. Up to noon there had been no
withdrawal OF funds, but it's deposits
had increased materially.
"The crop prospects In the vicinity
OF Palouse are exceptionally good and
with a fair price for wheat many debts
will be liauidated and the business in
stitutions that have weathered the
storm put on a solid basis
