Our town was excited somewhat
Thursday morning when it became
known that VIM. X. Parker stabbed
and killed his father-in-law, Ed. Z.
Busby. 1t seems that Mr.. Busby
and Parker have been at outs for
some time, due to family troubles,
and last Thursday morning at s
o'clock Mr.. Busby went down to
the postofiice to get his pension.
There he came upon Parker in the
office. 1t is claimed that he said
something to him and attempted to
strike him, when Parker cut him in
the face and then stabbed him in
the right side, the knife ranging to
the left, cutting one rib partly in
two and the knife entering and sew.
ering a vital part of the heart
Busby went out the front door OF
the office and gave down at thu
corner of the house and died in
twenty minutes. DR.. O'Brien wa
the first person to get to him
There were but three witnesses t.
the tragedy: the postmaster, hi
deputy and a small boy. Ed Busby
was a good citizen and leaves 1
wife and several children. His ag
was about 70. Interment In on
cemetery Friday. This is the frs
person ever killed in this town.

AMERICAN institutions, political
aspirations and state policies can
never meet the appreciation of men
of the stamp of Prince Otto Won
Bismarck, the most eminent modern
German statesman, whose delight
to bend the knee to a war lord in
spirit III not in fact was derived
through many generations of ances-
tors who in the remote past were
doubtless the ruffianly vassals of
rufiianly barons living and pro-
viding for their followers by pred
atory warfare on everybody weaker
in power than they. Aside from
statecraft based on the most eff
fciently organized military power
Bismarck is perhaps as much of an
anachroLism in the last decade OF
the Nineteenth century as the state
OF Spanish civilization itself. The
idea IF human rights to him is the
right Of each hereditary ruler to be
a desput at will to all lower in rank
than he; each prince, princeling
count and no-account, and each
other member of the order of nobil.

of a Board of Naval Strategy, send
a squadron to tell it that it's no

SOMEHOW a certain percentage of
the Kentucky volunteers seem to
have enlisted under the notion that
soldering was a sort of protracted
picnic, with just enough danger at
long intervals to give romance and
variety toit. There has come "a rude
awakening, even at the camp in the
good sized and well-provided city
of Lexington, on lovely grounds
and in the pleasant month of May.
The first doubt of the picnic idea
came by reason of the fare provid.
ed. Ill-cooked bread, fat bacon
beans, onions and coffee, not appe-
tizingly prepared nor attractively
served, were no sort of an outdoor
banquet to young men accustomed
to good fare regularly at home. II
soldering was the romance thai
their fancy pictured it war would
be a constant thing.

Or the six greatest powers of Flu

My opinion is the middle of the
road is the only national highway
for the Peoples party to march on
to be true to the first principles
that organized this grand liberty
loving army of the people, and it
must ever march upon the highway
to get to the capital Of our country
to carry out our saving principles
of true political economy. No voter
of our republic can become a true
friend to himself until he first re-
deems his sovereign liberty by as
serting his independence from old
party slavery for the sake Of saving
his country, his wife and little
ones from the grasp of mammon
that is dragging him down deeper
in the slough of despond. But,
sad to say in this day of enlight-
there are men so wrapped
up in their shells of old party love
that they would rather turn their
wife and little ones out on the
highway than to not be subservient
to the dictates of party.

The great l1,525-ton battleship
Alabama was launched May 18th
at Cramps ship-yard, Philadelphia.
The ceremony was private for fear
of damage by Spanish emissaries.
Senator Morgan's daughter, Miss
Mary K. Morgan, broke bottle of
native Alabama wine on the bow
and said: 81 crown thee with mag
nolias, brave ship, and christen thee
with proud name, Alabama"
Right neatly said. The omens were
excellent. The great hull was 70
eager for its element that it broke
through the final barriers without
waiting for them to be sawed and
took the plunge gracefully. Her
yard number is 200, which by a re-
markable coincidence is the same
as that of the famous Confederate
cruiser Alabama at a British yard.

IT's stroke of luck on our part
that our first modern war is with a
nation as weak and unprotected as
Spain lie. With our unprepared
condition and clumsy, tardy meth
DDS of military organization, what
a woful plight We should now be in
if this war was with a first class
European power! Great Britain,
France, Russia and Germany would
now be running rough shod over us.
Even Italy would have our sea-
coast cities mere piles of ruins with
her stronger navy. The opportu-
nifty for Congress to get rudi-
mentary education on how to pro-
vide for the national defense is in
valuable. Will Congress profit by
it2 Rather will it not prefer to de-
vote its chief energies to how to get
reelected, to the neglect of the vi
tai interests of the nation?
