Mr.. Moody tells a story that
every young man and young
woman in the land ought to hear.
He said: "There was once in
college a boy and he was about
to graduate. He wrote back to
the farm for his mother to come.
She replied that she could not do
it. She said her clothes were
worn out and she had no money
to get new ones for the occasion.
She had already turned her skirt
twice and it was ragged on both
sides. The boy said come any
way. The poor old mother went
dressed in her best which was
not stylish. The commencement
was in a fashionable church.
The son was prouder of his moth
er than of all his honors. He
walked with her down the aisle
to the center OF the church and
saw her in one of the best seats.
There were tears in her eyes and
she burst out weeping for joy
when her son came out and pro-
nounced the valedictory. The
president pinned badge on his
coat. The young man left the
stage and went directly to his
mother. He took of the badge
and pinned it TO her dress.
There we're tears in his eyes.
Then he bent over and kissed
the wrinkled face. The boy ami
mated thus will make a man who
will be an honor to his God, him.
self, his mother and his country.
Such boy is the glory of our
kind. May his numbers increase
until the shadow of his loyeliness
covers the world"

Yet Another Man Killed by the
Cars.

Another victim has been claimed by
the cars.
D. c. Clayton, brakeman on the
Greenwood branch of the Iron Mountain
system was caught between the draw,
heads of two cars Sunday evening while
examining one which was out of order,
and was so badly injured that death re-
leased him from his suffering within
short time. The train on which Clayton
was braking had been made up and the
only coupling to be made was at the
street crossing. An attempt to couple
had been made by Clayton, and finding
the coupler had gotten out of order
he gave the engineer the signal to
slack ahead and stepped in to examine
the fault, when thorough some cause,
perhaps carelessness. the cars came to-
gether again, pinning Clayton between
the drawheads, where he was held until
Acting Yardmaster Bray, attracted by
his cries, ran to him and signaled the
engineer to again pull ahead. Clayton
was taken to the Mo Pacific Hotel and
physicians at once summoned, but he
was beyond assistance, as his hips had
been horribly crushed.
He died at 11:15 Pm. The remains
were prepared for burial and then taken
to his home at Greenwood to be viewed
for last time by his wife, who was
unable to come to Van Buren,. They
were brought back here and Wednesday
inferred in Fairview Cemetery attended
to their last resting place by large
concourse of sorrowing friends and com
panions.
To the sorrowing wife the entire COM
munity extends its sincere sympathies
In this hour of trial.

4 Republican Organ, on the Trusts.

A dispatch to the st. Louis Re
public says;
The Topeka '.Capital, the Repubii-
can organ of Kansas caused eonstern-
alton among the Republican bosses and
politicians today by denunciation of
trusts. The ''Capital' prints five
columns of interviews with the business
men of Topeka, in which it is shown
that an advance of from 10 to 100 per
cent. on every commodity used by the
people has been made by the trade com
bnations and trusts. Business men de-
clare they see no hope of lower prices
ON the staples, and they explain that the
increase is wholly due to the big trusts
and combinations among manufactures.
Furniture dealers say prices have gone
up 30 and 40 per cent. in two weeks.
One of the heaviest dry goods dealers in
Topeka said:
II buy my goods from the trusts.
They have me in their power. Were |
to be interviewed and tell the truth
about the increase in prices and the
cause, | believe the trusts would make
it impossible for me to buy goods. So
don t use my name.
The Capital editorially warns the
Republican party of the impending
danger in its protection of trusts in the
| following:
1--WE are not alarmists. but we are
impressed with the belief that the people
of the United States are facing today a
menace to the peace of the country as
great and powerful as slavery was in
1861. In 1900 it will be national
issue. In that contest we believe that
the Republican party will be on the side
of the people and against the criminal
trusts The political party that stands
as the protector and promoter of the
allied moneyed interests, crushing out
small competitors and increasing the
cost of living for the purpose of main
tanning as profitable billions of dollars
worth of gambling trust stocks, ought
to and will go down in ignominious de-
feat -

Mclean Makes q Statement.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 11.-John r. Nc
Lean, the defeated Democratic candidate
for governor, in a statement issued to-
day, says: "Only look back four or
five years, when the Republicans car
ried Ohio by 1877, 600, with 100 900 ma
jority over all the other candidates,
and now, with nearly 1 1000, 900 votes
cast, Nash is chosen Governor, but in
a minority of 70, 900. The result is
both astonishing md gratifying and
shows the attitude of the people in the
State of Ohio toward the present Ad-
ministration.
"Ours is great, big, splendid
country and have great faith in the
people. The Administration must not
be fooled and think this is vote of ap-
proval. 1t is defeat.
II am not dishertened, but am dis
tressed. Not distressed for Mclean,
but am distressed for the men of la
Dor, who could have welded such a
potent influence-a deciding one.
refer to those whe cast so many votes
for Mr.. Jones. have naught to say
against Mr.. Jones, now that the thing
is over, but think his movement was
a misdirected one, and that even il he
could have been elected it would have
been fruitless.
Il think the popular result is a
great victory for the people. All the
power of the Government, all the money
that caioling, that threatening, that
the lash could bring, was got together.
For there was not United States Le-
cation in Europe that did not receive a
letter demanding of the Minister and
all his surroundings contribution to
the Hanna fund.
II think of the disgrace. A letter
was sent to me from London, telling
me all about this thing. Surely day
of resentment against such practices is
coming. -

A STRONG MEMORIAL.
Former Senator Edmunds Outlines O
Philippines Course for
Congress.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 10. Former
Senator George F. Edmunds expressed
the opinion today that as the Senate
ratified the treaty with Spain and there
by the United States became the
sovereign power over the Philippine
Islands, THE situation must be dealt
with as it is and not as we might wish
it should be.
The United States. Mr.. Edmunds
said, "are responsible as sovereign
To all other nations for the security of
their subjects and in respect to all in :
terntional rights.
but it is entirely consistent with the
right and duty of Congress TO determine
whether it will compel the people of the
Philippine Islands to be our subjects or
citizens or whether it will say to those
people that if they will cease hostility
and cooperate with US in preserving
peace and order until they can establish.
with our assistance and under our pro-
lection, government of their own, and
enable us to have the right to see to 1t
that they do, when their governments
are so established, preserve peace and
order and deal justly with our citizens
and those of other countries, we will
aid them in every proper way to accom-
plish that purpose.
Il think the question for the Congress
and people of the United States is,
whether the principles upon which our
government was founded, and the
principles upon which, three fourths
of century ago, we recognized and
assisted in setting up the Central and
Sonth American Republics, are still
true ones and ought to be followed. L
think it mistake to suppose that these
principles and policies are out of date. =
Mr. Edmunds, who is honorary presi-
dent of the Philadelphia branch of the
American Anti-Imperialistic League,
has drafted II memorial to Congress,
copies of which will be circulated for
signatures in various parts of the Union,
asking it to pass law declaring it is
not the purpose of the United States to
force the Filipinos to be subjects of
other countries, but to assist, protect
and defend the people of the Islands in
forming and maintaining free, equal
and independence self governing or
ganizations.
