Very charming are her ways.

IN MEMORY
Of Departed Scholar Who Died by
Accident.

Homer Vanness was born August IL
1889, died April 2, 1899, his age being
nine years, seven months and twenty
one days old. Homer was bright, in
telligent and patient, bearing his un
told suffering without a murmur. HI
was loved by all his associates, and wa
kind to all, willing to share his pleasure
with his playmates. He was membel
of Pleasant Grove Church and Sabbatl
School.
Homer, God has called thee
From this world Of pain and woe,
Thou art numbered with the angels,
And your robes are white as snow.
Thou art with the angels singing,
And harp within thy hand,
With a crown upon thy forehead
Numbered with that happy band.
We shall miss you Homer, miss you
When we with the children meet,
Every Sabbath morning or evening,
There will be a vacant seat.
No, your smile will never greet us,
Never more your voice we'll hear,
But we hope in heaven to meet you
With your.little classmates, dear.
And we pray that God may keep us,
Lead us in the narrow way,
That our record may be spotless
On that great and final day.
Then we hope to meet you, Homer.
On that bright celestial shore.
Ubara fbaro,u no No uooro rar rfiUp
There we'll live forever more.

School opened last week with a
good attendance and each and all are
ready for nine months hard work.
The fact that the times demand high
or educational attachments in those
who hope to win in the battle of life,
has caused an increased interest on
the part Of the pupils. This is shown
in the increased number Of pupils who
complete the high school and college
courses each year. The 'time has
gone by when man without an edu-
cation or with limited education
stands an equal show with the young
man who has taken advantage of
every opportunity offered and pre-
pared himself to meet the conditions
of life which arise through new dis
roveries and inventions and which
makes an increased knowledge Of the
arts and sciences an absolute neces-
sity. Parents and teachers realizing
this fact, as well as the sacrifice often
called for on the part of the parents
should seek to impress upon their
minds the Importance of the work
and to create in the minds and hearts
of the pupils thirst for knowledge.
This with the greatly improved meth
DDS and means for gaining knowledge
ought to be regarded by the pupils as
privilege and pleasure. 1t is true
that occasionally someone has reached
the high plain Of success by his own
efforts and without the aid Of schools;
but such cases are few and the train
ing received in our schools should not
be underyalued. Many people realize
this when too late.

UNKNOWN MAN.
Rumor says several wounded white
men were carried off by their friends,
but there is no definite knowledge of
this.
Two colored men came into the city
in the morning. intending, as they
claimed, to go to the county seat to
attend church services. Words passed
between these men and white miners,
and the colored men left for the mine,
claiming as they left that they would
return with men who knew how to
shoot.
Soon after thirteen negroes arrived
from the Brush mines. They passed
through the city and to the depot,
which is situated on the eastern part
of the town, without Icing molested
or without any. hostile demonstration
being made. At the depot the negroes
renewed the war of words, and fired
one shot, the shot piercing the fleshy
part OF small boys hand.
White miners appeared on the scene,
and the negroes at once threw rocks
at the men, who started down the
main street OF the city. They had not
gone far before they were REINFORCED
by about fifteen heavily armed men,
who at once opened fire on the negroes.
The negroes started to run, and were
pursued by the miners. One block
from the business center three negroes
fell dead, literally riddled with bullets.
Still the pursuit was continued, and
when only one block from the police
station another negro was shot dead.
A little further on Sim Cummins fell,
mortality wounded. Still the pursuit
was made until not negro was in the
streets OF the city, all who lived
through the few moments of carnage
being safe within the village of Green
vile, which surrounds the shaft.
Gov. Tanner was notified and at once
made arrangements to send troops to
the scene. Further trouble is not
feared.

Bruan's Trust Remedu.

The following is brief statement
of Mr.. Bryan's plan for the regula-
tion of monopolies and trusts pre-
scented to the trust conference in
Chicago last week. II is Of especial
note because it is in substance what
Mr.. Bryan and his supporters will
doubtless urge for the chief plank in
the next national democratic platform
First, that the state shall have the
right To create whatever private corpor-
atoms as the people OF the state think
best.
Second that the State has or should
have the right to impose such limitations
upon an outside corporation as the peo-
pie of the State may think necessary for
their own protection, that it protects the
rights OF the people of the State to say,
nrst, what they shall organize in their
state as 4 corporation, and, second what
they shall permit as corporation to
come from other States ana do business
in their state
Third, that the federal government
such restrictions as Congress may think
necessary upon any corporation which
does business outside of the state in
which It is organized, J would preserve
to the people of the State all the rights
that they now have, and at the same time
haveCongress exercise concurrentrem-
edy to supplement- the State remedy"
Mr. Bryan admits that perhaps the
courts would declare unconstitution.
al legislation along the lines proposed
but he believes the experiment worth
trial and that if the constitution as
Il is will not permit this kind OF legis'
lation an amendment should be made
to it.
Whatever may be thought of Mr..
Bryan's plan for trust regulation he
certainly is entitled TO public graft
tude for an affirmative proposition OIL
some sort. Ii is so unusual for Dem
ocracy to anything more more than
lind fault and deny the soundness Of
Republican doctrine that it is indeed
refreshing TO find democrat OF the
prominence Of Mr.. Bryan take a posi-
ton on a great question such as
trusts promises to be, before it has
become a party issue and to really
want to do something.
Question: Can man who so ruth
lessly tramples upon the most cher,
ished traditions of the party be again
selected for chief expounder of the
