Pierce drove his horse against the

thoroughly frightened. People passing
were astonished to see Pierce lash ms
horse. which, frantic enough, reared
up, and came heavily down on the gate,
breaking it. Then the horse. still be-

the Augusta Beef co.'s building TO
avoid the cars.
Finally he got close to the building
so close that his nose rubbed against
the glass windows, while the hubs Of
the wheels were being scraped by the
passing train, the opposite wheels be-
ing on the buildings steps. 1t was
there that Pierce was rescued from ms
dangerous position. People who We're

RYLAND SPEAKS PLAINLY.
Talked About the Mob That Hung
Jesse Winner and James Nelson.

From the Richmond Democrat.
Rev. Nenophen Ryland, of Lexington.
occupied the pulpit ut the Presbyterian
church last Sunday night, and it may he
that a portion of his sermon made some
of his hearers vince. AS to that we
presume no one knows. IIyland is a
man who has made Il success in more
than one walk of life. AS Il jurist, AS a
judge, as Il politician lie has made his
mark and is now rounding out the last
decade, Il devoted servant of God in the
ministry. Whether or not he has been
ordained as Il minister, we cannot say.
but certain it is that his sermons are full
of logic and convincing thoughts.
Above all, Ityland Il Y what he thinks
and is fearless in such u~tterances. Last
sunday he referred with touching ferVor
To the death Of the Savior upon the
cross and branded those who did if as
mlIrderers. Clnsely following lie start
led the congregation by referring to the
death of Jesse Winner and James Mel
son ut the hands of the mob and pro-
nOunced the men who did the deed,
whether they numbered II or one
Thousand, as murderers.
Aenophen Ryland did not add to his
popularity by uttering such words, but
we give him credit for considerable
backbone III talking AS he did in Rich
mond.

''SilyeP NeWspapers."

In the last chapter of Mr.. Bryan's
great work, 1.-The First Battle" he
says: s'In preparing Tor future works
more attention should he paid TO Onr
newspapers. No words of praise ARE
too strong to commend the work dore
by the silver papers during the last
campaign. While we were not nearly
so well supplied as our opponents with
daily papers, those which we did have
did most effective work, while the
weekly newspapers were of invaluable
assistance to the cause. In my con
gressiOnal contest | learned to appre-
ciate the value of the weekly newspa-
pers; their zeal and earnGstneSs could
not have been surpassed.
ftSomstimes the enemies of q paper
are more careful to show resentment
than its friends are TO express appreci-
alton of its work. If we are to have
newspaper support in the tight for
bimetallism, friendly newspapers mpst
have the support of bimetaIlists. can
not 10 the cause of free coinage greater
service than by impressing upon every
friend the necessity of making such
sacrifices as are necessary to support
the silver papers. Every county should
have Il silver weekly, every slate should
have n silver organ, and every city
should have Il silver daily in keeping
with its population; all of these papers
should be sufficiently supported to
enable them to meet the opposition on
an equal footing. If the plain people
refuse to give encouragement TO those
who fight their battles, they need not
expect to have defepdeIs."

HIGHER EDUCATION.

We call the attention of u readers
to the article, 'sThe McAnally Loan
Fund.- in another column of this Issue.
This IS another step toward placing our
institutions of learning in the front
rank among colleges for the higher
education of young m The
efforts of w. B. Palmore in this enter
prise should meet with hearty support
from every Methodist in the state.
While this work is going on outside
of Lexington it should awaken our citi-
zens to the Importance of helping ut
home the work that is going on out
side. Both Central College and the
Elizabeth Aull Seminary AVE enter
prises before our citizens looking to
providing increased facilities for eflic-
lent work and these enterprises should
be heartily and substantially seconded
by each and every one.
Let Lexington come forward llber-
ally TO the building up of her colleges
and when outsiders see what we are
doing for ourselves they will come tor
ward and help. There is no good
reason why each of our colleges should
not have ample endowmenIs to meet
every necessity hat may arise.

TH

The subscription fund for the bridge
is slowly growing but no in proportion
to the importance of the enterprise.
There seems To have fallen upon our
citizens a lethargy for which we can
not account; Il kind of a Rip Van
Wrinkle nod, the prelude to another
twenty years of s%lumbcrIng in sweet
f~orgetfulness of all hat we owe to our
selves, cur posterity and our God. In
this day of progress everywhere and on
all lines there is no such thing as stand
ing still. We must either improve or
retroSrade. A crisis is upon us and IT
we do not rally to the support of the
bridge, and do it soon, we will have
missed by far the greatest opportunity
that we have ever had.
The bridge and the Santa Fe road
will open to MS fields of enterprise that
would invite to our city manufacturing
industries of various kinds and enable
US to develope our natural

would grow up in comparatively few

we go backward? Let every citizen
wake up 10 the Importance of the

Slate Assessment Bill Vetoed.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March %
AT noon today Gov. Stephens vetoed
he Slate assessment bill which required
all notes to he stamped by the assessor
under a penalty of $25. Business men
from all parts OF the state opposed the
bill. 1t was believed that 1t would
drive much capital from the state if it
should become II law The Governor
finds the bill irregularly passed, the
emergency clause not being voted upon
III all.
Following are some of the reasons
given by Gov. Stephens for the veto:
.~.Successful and enlerprising bust
ness men are usually very anxious to
keep their credit affairs private, and
success in II great measure depends
upon not taking the general public and
rivals into their confidence.
Now then, if all notes, bills of exchange
and evidence of debt are accurately
described and placed upon public rec
ord, business men will find nearly the
whole of their commercial indebted
ness, for the scrutiny and criticism of
business rivals and enemies"
In regard to the assessment of prop
erty he said:
"Many good men who now give il a
fair list will leave the state before they
their private affairs made public
every twelve months, and place them
at the mercy of those who wish
to take advantage of the knowledge
thus derived of their business.
''Niy objections are not ~predicated
upon the idea that u loophole ought to
be left through which note holders can

should be equal and that more burden
ought TO be placed on a note holder
than upon the holder of an any class OF
property.
ssThe probabilities are that under
this law there would be a great increase
of criminal prosecutions under claims
that tax lists may not be complete. 1t
is now difficult enough for our Dor
class of farmers and others to
obtain credit in stores and recommend
from money loaners to enable
them to make crops, etc.

DEATHS.

DEATHS.
Died, in this city, Thursday morning,
April l., 1897, Mrs. Viola Welsh, wife OF
MIR. Gustav Haerle, aged ~ years.
Mrs. Gustav Haerle, nee Viola Welsh,
was born in Mason, county, KY, and in
early childhood came with her fathers
family to Missouri. Most of her early
life was spent at Dover, Mo.
At a a. m, Thursday, April 1st, the
stern and relentless messenger called her
to her final rest, and took her from her
loved relatives and friends here on earth.
She leaves to mourn her sad departure
two brothers, an aged mother, and n kind
and devoted husband.
Her death is especially sad, as it is the
second time that death has recently
broken in upon the same family circle,
her brother, John Welsh, having preceded
her into the unknown beyond only a few
~dayslbefore.
Viola Welsh was a young woman of
most excellent and beautiful character,
and was greatly loved by those in the
circle of acquaintances in which she
moved. She was a kind and loving sister,
at all times careful and considerate OF the
feelings and wishes of brothers and sis
tiers, and ever ready to minister to the
wants of those in the little family circle.
She was a dutiful and affectioDate daugh-
ter, and cheerfully performed the many
little duties that necessarily fell to her lot
in assisting in the management OF the
home.
On une I'd, 1886, she was married to
Gustav Haerle, one OF our esteemed
and respected fellow-citizens, and happy
in her new relations, entered upon the
duties of the true and noble wife. For
the past ten years she has been almost an
invalid, enduring much bodily pain and
suffering, and yet in all these years she
never forgot the duties she owed to the
kind and loving husband, and in the
hours OF her own physical suffering ever
strove to make home all that it should be.
In that home she was all the light and
joy and happiness, and death has left it
in the deepest darkness and gloom.
Words are but feeble Instruments TO ex-
prees the sorrow that comes to those who
have been called upon to give up some
dearly beloved one, and the saddened
hearts can only mourn in silence and bear
the grief that cannot be expressed.
Though quiet and unassuming in man
ner during her life in our midst, Mrs.
Haerle formed many warm friendships
and leaves a large circle of friends aud
acquaintance b will grieve over her
departure, and will miss her greatly in
their future associations.
To the sorrowing aud grief-stricken
husband we would offer our truest and
most earnest sympathy. The only con-
we can offer in his hours of gloom
is the thought that the dear wife has only
on ahead, and that the separation
only need a few short years at most.
