aged u.
The death of Mrs. Reed ut an early
hour on Sunday morning last came as
great surprise and grief to this COM
munity. While she had been sick for
some days to an extent which incapa-
citated her from teaching In our public
schools, yet her condition was not con-
~idered serious. But the grim messen-
ger came and there was no alternative
but to obey his summons. The circum-
stances attending her death We're rem
dered all the more distressing by the
absence of her husband, Frank j.
Reed, who last month left for San
Francisco to study 'he higher branches
of assay ing, chlorination, cyaniding
and other processes connected with his
profession. 1t so happened that Mr..
Reed had completed his course of study
before hearing of his wife's sickness,
and had left fer home without notify
ing Ills people, intending to give them
a surprise by his sudden appearance
Messages were sent over the wires ad-
vising him 10 come home, but his
whereabouts was not known, aud it
was not until he reached Lewiston
that the shocking news came to him
that his beloved wife had died. In
C'tupduN WITH HIS IWTtucI, H. T..
Heppner, he travelled all Saturday
night over the dreadful roads and
reached home on the day set for the
funeral.
Lulu NJ. Thompson was born in New
York state and was married to Frank
J. Reed on August 90, 1896, at Wilbur,
WASH, where her pareuts reside. Dur
ing her residence there she served 3
years as a member of the Board of Edu-
cation of that state, and was widely
known as AN accomplished leader In
the cause of education. Immediately
airer her marriage she came to Grange
vile to reside and was installed as
teacher in one of the departments of
our public school, where her methods
gave the highest satisfaction alike to
the trustees and to the parents of the
children who benefited Ivy her minis
trations. Taking profound interest
in all matters relating to the education
of the young, and deeply Impressed
with the responsibilities attaching to
her position "a II teacher, and also en-
tertainipg strong religious convictions,
she speedily became IA favorite in the
social circles of this community. An
active worker in the newly organized
Presbyterian church at this place and
full of common sense, gayety and ami
nation, Mrs. Reed speedily won a
high place in the affections Of our peo-
pie, and her untimely death, in the
very flower of womanhood, Is univer-
sally regretted.

1t is said by some that we owe the
fife-"ear piercing. as Shakespeare
calls ito the Swiss, and Sir James
Turner. who busted himself in writ
ing ON military matters, names it
the "Allemaine whistle. In France
il was employed at least as early as
1884, in which year il was ordered

A few years later in England we
find "drOmmes and ffyffes" included

Shakespeare refers To the musician,
not the instrument, when he speaks
in the Merchant of Venice" of "the

an influence over him. II they can
not do this they will try to frighten
him into submission or silence by
having him ridiculed by these papers.
All kinds of lies will be published
about him and sent back to his dis
trict. In this way many a good man
has been defeated for reelection and
others intimidated. When they find
that q member of congress is dishon
est they will buy the scouLdrel out
right, just as they would buy a hog
or a COW. Their business is to find
out the weak place of each member
OF congress and then make the most
of it. In this way the plan of Alex
ander Hamilton is carried out, power
is taken from the masses and given
to the classes, and the people whom
he called "a great beast, I" are treated
as though they we're, irdeed, beasts
of burden. One of the main instru-
mentalities in bringing this result
about has been the protective tariff.
1t results in withdrawing public at
tention from the expenditure of pub
lie money. 1t is rapidly impoverish-
ing the great body of the people and
keeps a rotten and formidable lobby
constantly at Washington. This
lobby regards the public treasury as
their legitimate property and the
people as their rightful prey. This
directly grows out of ths protective
tariff. If the government did not
discriminate in favor of these enter
prises and against the people, and If
every branch of business had TO de
pend upon its merits, as farming
does, then there would be no reason
for this lobby in favor of protected
lines of business, and one of the
main causes of extravaganza would
be removed and the mightiest infu-
ences, in taking power from the peo-
pie and giving it TO q favored few,
would be destroyed. Yet some men
say There is nothing in the tarif. {"
Poor foolsl They are only adver-
tising the empty condition of their
own skulls. Protected interests have
a strong, able and unscrupuous lobby
at Washington. The farmers have
no lobby there. The people are
sleeping at home. Yet some men
wonder at the poverty OF the people
Such a man is on a par with the fell
low who is so poor that he is almost
ready to become a candidate for the
aims house, and yet goes around
saying 81 want a dollar that is good
in Europe" He would be in ter
rible fix if he should wake up some
morning with ragged back and an
empty stomach with q flag of truce
flying from tie rear; with his pants
bagged at the knees and whiskered
at the heels, and find a few dollars in
his pocket that were not good in
Europe. What could the poor man
do with this money if it was not
good in Europe? While we may be
sorry for his poverty, we have a
pity, bordering on contempt, for his
Imbecility. If he had sense enough
to enjoy good health he would know
that what he needed was a dollar
good in the United States.
The next article will discuss the
tariff as 1t affects our farmers.

Romantic Marriage.

LEXINGTON, VA, December S-Cspe-
cial)-A wedding with a tinge OF romance
was celebrated here Thursday night at
the Methodist parsonage. when Miss Ber-
tie Albaugh, OF Baltimore, and Rev.
Howard Allan Blake. OF Craig city, Va,
were married by Rev. Or. Wightman
Rev. Mr.. Blake arrived here on Wednes-
day after an overland journey In buggy
from his native city and secured the
license. Instead of meeting his future
bride, as expected. at the depot, no was
doomed to disappointment. A telegram
was received by him from Lynehburg
which stated that his intended had ar
rived there from Baltimore over the
Southern, but owing to the lateness OF
the train had failed 10 make connection
with the Chesapeake and Ohio for Lex
ington, and would be forced 10 remain
over night in that city. Rev. Mr. Blake
left here on the early morning train
Thursday, and, it is said, met for the first
time his lady-love in Lynchburg. They
returned here on the next train, and were
married, as above stated. Their court
ship, il is alleged, was carried on through
the mails. The newly-wedded couple LEFT
here Friday morning for Craig City.

ing from the Atlantic League and Join
ing the Virginia League. In the event of
its withdrawal, it would be best for Alex
andria, Va, TO take its place in the At
lantic League. as | believe a great many
lovers OF the game from the National
Capital City would witness the games in
Alexandria while the Washington Base
Ball Club is abroad. Alexandria being
comparatively small town and having
fewer amusements, would draw larger
crowds TO the baseball games than IL
there were more places Of amusement for
the people to attend. especially as Alex
andria has large number of baseball
cranks. The distance between the north
ern Atlantic League cities and Alexandria
is shorter than that between the former
and Norfolk, and would in my opinion,
greatly benefit the Atlantic League. Those
living in Washington and Alexandria who
are interested in baseball could buy the
franchise Of the Norfolk club and start an
Atlantic club in Alexandra. Let the
Norfolk club drop out and go to pieces
and Alexandria take its place In the At
lantice League"

WASHINGTON, December S.-At to-
days session Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
Commission. the examination Of Captain
MacKay, who was in charge Of the trans
ports Of the Santiago expedition, was
continued.
lie said the question OF dlsembarking
Che troops upon the arrival of the trans
ports was carefully considered before the
expedition left Tampa. but owing to the
haste with which the arrangements were
made it was not possible to procure stern
anchors for mooring purposes for all the
vessels. Captain MacKay also superin-
tended the embarkation OF the troops
which came north from Santiago after
the surrender. and he Indignantly de-

There were two contract surgeons aboard.
lie denied emphatically the statement
that colonel Humphreys devoted all or
