N EW SLET

The man who is ready to give hts all
For what he thinks Is right,
Who shoulders his gun and answers the
call
when his country has battles to fight.
Is a hero and merits heros reward.
His praise should be earnestly sung.
But another who shines in the sight OF
the Lord
u the man who can hold his tongue.
The man with the silvery voice who can
win
For the cause that is just In debate,
And the man who sees danger, yet
bravely goes In
While others in agony wait,
Are men who invoke the world 8 wonder
Their praises are earnestly sung;
But the bravest OF mortals that l ever
saw
was a man who could hold his tongue.
Weave chaplets for those who have won
In the fray
who have struck that the slave may
be free:
For the men who brushed old supersti-
tions away,
And for those who are heroes at sea-
Hut there Is another who merits place
Among people whose praises are
sung
The heart broken man with smile on
who can suffer and hold his tongue.
Cleveland Leader.

HEAVY RAINS ATTAINED.
It Fell at Just the Right Time to Do
Growing Corn the Most Good.

Larned, Kas., Aug. S.-This section of
Kansas was visited with another heavy
rain Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing It is estimated that two to three
inches of water fell In Hodgeman, Ed
wards, Rush, Stafford and Ford cOun-
ties the rain was heavy. At Spearville
Ford county, the rain was the heaviest
in years. The reports received here in
dictate that other western counties had
splendid rains, but not as heavy as
through this section.
The rain comes at the right time to
do the corn the greatest amount of
good. While the hot, dry weather of a
week or ten days ago did considerable
damage TO the corn on the high back
land it is thought last nights rain will
benefit it to the extent of making a half
of a crop. The corn in the low sandy
land is in better condition now than at
any time at this season Of the year
since 1896, when the yield reached high
water mark. The stubble fields are now
IN excellent condition for blowing for
next years wheat crop.

WICHITA'S SCHEME.
Would Arrange Big Celebra ton for
the Rough Riders

The Wichita Eagle of Sunday says:
"One of the greatest events ever held
in Wichita, if it can be cOnsummated,
and there is every Indication that it will
be, is Rough Riders Day at the state
fair here this fall. It was a happy idea
of Colonel Toler's and has met with the
greatest favor with those to whom it
has been suggested At the time the
fair will be held the rough riders who
are now at Santiago will probably be
home or at least off on leave of alb
sence. The Oklahoma rough riders and
any others of the regiment who can
come will be invited to come to this
city on that day which has been named
in honor of them. They will be enter
tanned by the city and in the evening
a swell banquet will be given. Then
stirring war stories will be told, after
dinner speeches from the best known
DubIic men in Kansas will be heard ana
in all it will be the red letter day IN
this city's history. To receive an IN
vitatiOn to the banquet Will be petter'

LYNCHING LOOKED FOR.
White Woman and Two Negroes
Charged With Numbering
Her Husband.

Nrannnhfs. Tenn. Aug. Son the
night of July 80, J. T. Orr, prominent
hardware merchant of Clarendon, was
murdered in his house and now his wife
and two negroes are in jail, the negroes
being charged with the murder direct.
Mrs Orr is charged with having pro-
cured their services to make away with
her husband. There was a demonstra-
ton there last night and Iynchlng
bee may yet be the climax.
Orr was most fouIly murdered, hav-
ing been shot through the window of
his home. The search for the guilty
narties was unfruitfuI until Saturday
when the sheriff learned of statement
being made by a young woman that
Mrs. Orr knew something of the aSsas-
sination 1t was charged that she hired
a negro named Dennis Record to kill
Mr. Orr. A negro named MANI Castle.
however, volunteered to do the work
for the same amount, so II was stated.
Record Castle and Mrs. Orr were I'M
mediateIy placed under arrest. Yester-
day Castle said that he killed Orr and
charged that Mrs. Orr had hired him to
do the work.
Last night a great crowd gathered in
the public square and it looked for a
time as if there would be lynching.
Judge Thomas, who had just returned
from DeS Arc, made an urgent appeal
to the crowd not to mob the prisoners
He announced he would at once ad-
journ court at LOnoke and try the pris-
oners. The crowd dispersed and Mrs.
Orr who had been kept in the court
house since her arrest was conducted
to the Jail.
Orr's life was insured for $4,000 in the
Knights of Pythias and Macca bees. His
wife is the beneficiary. While Castle
charges that Mrs. Orr hired him to do
the job, there are some conservative
citizens who believe that Mrs. Orr is
guiltless and that a trial will clear her.
There will be an examining trial Tues
day.

TWO PARDONS.
Given by the Governor to Wyandottt
County and Labette County Men.

Governor Leedy has extended execu-
tive clemercy to two cOnvicts in the
Kansas penitentiary by committing
their sentences so that they will soon
be released.
Ed Mcclure of WyandOtte county got
drunk three years ago. As the story
goes he fell in the mud while in this
condition and in order to appear re
spectacle he went to a farm house and
changed his soiled clothing for some
that did not belong to him. He was
arrested and convicted of burglary and
given a sentence of six years in the
penitentiary. Il think he has had about
enough punishment for the crime" said
Governor Leedy as he signed the com
mutation.
Ed White of Labette county is the
second one favored. In 1894 L. T. Bar
ker said some uncOmplimentary things
about Whites wife in his presence and
the husband resented the remarks by
putting a few bullets into the anatomy
of Barker. The wounded man got well
and White was given a seven year SEN
tence in the penitentiary.
