An Infamous Assault.

It will be remembered by the readers of The Times that q horri- ble lynchlng occurred at Osceola sometime ago, and that the ac. counts of the sick ening fair were not very complimentary to the sheriff of Mississippi county. h fact, he is generally known to have encouraged it, and by his action in the matter at the time proved himself to be totally unfit for the high office to winch the people have elevated him.
 The Osccola Times, one of the best papers in the state, edited by Leon Roussan, quiet, courteous and unusually pleasant gentleman, following the path of duty, wrote up very fair account of tho trag- edy, obtaining his information from many sources, and harmo. nizing il where possible. Among other things, he placed the blame for Mississippi county's disgrace where it belonged-upon Sheriff Bowen. Bowen excepted and de. handed full ard unreserved re. traction. Tho obliging editor asked for the particulars of his in- aecuracies and expressed a perfect willingness to correct any errors or interpretations. He was subsequently, assaulted and found 1t necessary to leave his home, be. cause he could not remain with safely while refusing to stultif, himself and publish what he knew 10 be untrue. The high sheriff is numerously connected in Missis- 'ippi county and has an army oi Servile friends. He IS an autocrat and a bulldozer, and Editor Rous- san knew that he could not hope to vindieate the right against such odds, and he left-is now an exile from home, and his wife (and she IS noble little woman whom we are proud to know personality is in charge of the paper. And she IS nervy, and is making it warm

There is every reason to believe that large numbers of populists II this state will return to the demo cratic ranks next year. Severa in this county, who have beer promineAt in the councils of thi, comparatively new, and certalnly } now defunct party, havc expressed hearty disgust with it, and desire to come back to the party of then ldthers.

mings. I hen there was tb at manly, honorable, hightoned and accom- .p'ished young business man, John V. Webb, whom we loved as a brother, and whose sad and unfor- tunate death caused the blackest pail of sorrow to hover over this entire city for days. He often en- couraged us when in gloom. We remember with love another phy- sician who ministered to the sick in this county for more than a quarter of century, and who was beloved by all who knew him for his many noble qualities of head and heart. w refer to pr. W. J. Matthews. We were proud of his friendship, because it was true.
 And last year, while we our selves wore lying in a critical con- ditioh o1 healtG, every hour seem- ing 10 those who watched by our bedside to be our last, that dear boy, B. R. Shade, with whom we had been so pleasantly associated in music and otherwise, and to- gether with whom we counselled in many things, was called hone.
 These, and many others of the dear old friends, were wont to wish us many happy returns in those good old days, and this memory of their friendship rises now before us to give us pleasure. and hope that we may emulate their nobleness of heart and liber- allty of mind.

She is a dear baby, an untold pleasure and comfort to us, and being thankful, we will let il go at that.

Many good and dear old friends have gone to their reward since then, and we remember many of them now, with pleasure and love. Our mind re. verts back to the days of that courtly and polished gentleman, Sir Phillip YanPatten. He often

 The lives of young women are often wrecked because of mistaken sense of modesty, which leads them to neglect the earlier symptoms of feminine weakness.

Threadbare from Frequent Use.-S Spirit

1t is no longer disputed fact that
American composers are coming rapid
ly to the front. not only men, but wom-
en- as wen. Miss Marie Won Hammer,
though yet only Il young woman in her
twenties, has achieved as great a sue
cess with her musical compositions as
many of her older and more expert
enccd contemporaries.
An American girl, she always pre-
served the patriotic spirit received
her musical instruction in America,
and now aspires to take her place in
the foremost ranks of conscientious
and palnStaking American composers.
II was only few years ago, after the
completion of thorough musical train
ing and travel in musical centres of
Europe, that she discovered she pos
composer and thenceforth devoted all
her time to this art. She has COM
posed music of the higher class, that of
the classical schools, as nothing light
or sensationally popular has ever come
from her pen, and to-day the musicians
of New York among whom is the great
conductor Anton Seldl, pronounce her
work as that of a genius whose efforts
will live.

Professor Fisher finds that the average
bank rate of interest from 1875 to 1879
was g. per cent in the four gold stand
ard countries and 10. per cent in the
three silver standard countries. In sill
yer standard countries the rate had fallen
but little the average for 1904 being
10.G per cent. In gold standard coun-
tries the rate had fallen over % per
cent, or ilom b. } i'll 1904. These facts
tend to show that there is some good
reason why interest is lower in gold
