ghe Greatest Hero Of Ali.

The Raleigh News and Observer says
"The death OF Dr. Byron, the unseiish young
physician in New York who devoted every
energy in his being and every talent God
had given him to study of contagious di-
scascs and their treatment, is martyr whose
noble devotion ought 10 be honored He
contracted consumption in the prosecution
of his scientific studies The controlling
purpose of his life was to save his fellows
from disease aud death, and he lost his life
to save the lives of those who had no claim
upon him other than the claim of humanity.
1t was of such heroes that Tennyson wrote
that they rise by stepping stones Of their
dead selves to higher things There is many
another physician-humble and obscure
who has met his death by constant attend
ance upon n patient afflicted with some con-
tagious plague. Day by day they go into
the beyond, examples of tue best type OF
the uupretentous hero. Such men are in
every neighborhood. If you are looking
for a hero you will find him in the unsel6sh
country or village or city doctor, who, in an
humble sphere gives his life for his fellows,
just as Dr. Byron did"
In an interview last week in New York
Hon. Stephen B. Elkins said The Solid
South is going to be a thing OF the past very
shortly. West Virginia broke through the
barriers last year, aud with one bound plant
ed herself for Republieanism with the ma
iority of $4,000 That was an achievement.
West Virginia has bazed the path and other
States will follow. want to see Judge
Gof, of West Virginia, the candidate for
Vice President on the next national Repub-
ican ticket He is a Southern man aud Is
attracting a great deaf OF attention by bis
wise rulings. lie is my preference, aud |
intend to work for him. There are other
good men in the South and good timber can
be found there, and think that Southern
man on the ticket would do more to break
up the seclionaiism and make the party ma
tional than anything we could do"

some months treated the transaction
as q payment and distributed the
amount to the several fluids. That
the plaintiff, M. M. Barnard, did not
have any connection with the tran
saction or knowledge of the same,

to the Commercial State Bank. That

done upon the banks own motion,
for it's own benefit and without any
knowledge on the part of plaintiff.
That the tax receipt was by the treas
urer returned to the Commercial
State Bank. and by it delivered to
the tax payer about the time Of the
protest, probably before. On the Oath
day of January, 1894, the court found
the issues for the defendant.
After Mr.. Mercer presented the drafts
to the Commercial Bank OF Long Island
which bank refused to pay to him the
amouhs of the drafts, he got ready for
a law suit and employed Messrs. Stin-
son & Stinson, Of this city, to look sf-
ter his interests. After considerable
research among authorities, Mr.. Frank
Shnson advocated the doctrine, that
inasmuch as drafts instead of mo ney
were sent to the treasurer, the taxes
had not been paid. This proposition
was in this state new one, and found
but little standing among our attor-
neys. Mr.. Mercer's bondsmen then
raised fund and employed Mr.. Ange.
vine of Mankato, to assist IN the case,
who had but little faith in Mr.. Stin-
sons plan of defense, but after looking
up authorities, pronounced II absolute
" good. Before the case came on for

Benjamin Schnlerle, treasurer of
Wyandotte county and a member of
the legislative committee of county
treasurers, explained to Capital re-
porter yesterday that chapter 102 of
the session laws of 1891 was never
legally passed by the two Houses, as
shown by their journals, and any
money deposited in bank deslgnat-
ed county depositor under this law
is at the risk OF the county treasure r
or of the county. A bond accepted
by the county board under this law
would be of no force. House bill
802, introduced by Mr.. Cubbison at
the committees request, cures this
defect and places proper protection
around public funds so deposited,
The bill ought to pass.
Frank McGrath was telling us
recently of his investigation into the
fuel question while he was in the Il
linois country of coal mines. That
he found the miners were getting 80
cents ton for getting the coal out
and the mine owners were selling the
same coal at rs cents a ton; that he
then found that the railroad charge
for freight to Co1cordia is so 80 a
ton for the same coal. That tells the
story of why we are robbed In buying
coal-more than twice the cost Of il
is paid for freight. Will our legisla-
ture look into this grand larceny bus
