the services of this county to bring
about peace between the English

The Galloway Affair,

Frank Galloway, tho st. Louis
wife murderer, cheated the gallows
by committing suicide last Thurs
day night. He had obtained strych-
nine, probably some other poison
to combine with it, and swallowed
this at II O'Clock, and died IN Il
few minutes, IN his Jail cell, He
was to have been hanged last Mon
day. His last visitor was his broken
hearted mother who called twice
the afternoon; before he took his
life. She emphatically denies that
she carried him the poison.
The story of Frank Galloway is
worth studying.
His grandfather was dissipated
man, who regularly rode into Fred
ericktown, from his Creek Nation
home, and became intoxicated. One
of bis sons, Sam Galloway, became
disgu>ted with the conduct of his
father, and leaving the farm, went
to town and learned the blacksmith
trade. He had the greatest aversion
to Intoxicating liquors and many u
time warned young men, and old
ones, Of what drink would do. He
knew.
He prospered and even accumu-
lated several thousands of dollars.
He had married and one son, Frank
Galloway, the wife-murderer and
suicide, was the result of the union.
This boy was the joy ofthe home
petted spoiled, and granted any in
diligence that his mind could sug-
gest. He soon learned how to un.
wind the parental pockotbook.
He was given extraordinary educa-
tional advantages in St. Louis; he
was sent to medical college three
years, All the time he was becom
ing more a spendthrift, less a
student.
The boy married pretty, child.
wife; both were young, spoiled and
jealous. In time she produced an
heir for the now reckless boy.
There were more quarrels, and the
end came last April when Frank
Galloway, crazv with drink, fired
four shots into the pretty form of
his first sweetheart,
In the meantime his father had
sold out his business; moved to
other towns; sold out again; finally
striking the bottom of his wealth.
Then be went away, disgusted and
rrokep spirited. The mother is
still in St. Louis, with friends.
Had Sam Galloway used the
knowledge he acquired in the bit
ter school of experience and put
hls boy to work, every minute he
was not IN school; had he limited
his expenditures to his actual needs;
had he pointed out what liquor had
done for the family, these unpleas-
ant things would not have to be
written to-day.
Tnere are other doting parents
! other young husbands, other mex
perienced wives who are laying the
foundation for happenings that will

Senator Hanna's Mistake.

This idea that public sentiment can be
"bought off" seems to amount to a con-
viction with Senator Hanna. He is SO
constituted, doubtless, that he cannet
understand how, to great numbers of the
American people, vital principle ap-
pears to be involved in this Puerto Rican
question. He cannot comprehend that
with the vast majority of Americans
their treatment Of Puerto Rico is mat
ter of good faith. He cannot see that
the moral sense OF the nation is aroused
against the injustice of the Oxnard tariff.
We would not aecuse Senator Hanna of
proceeding upon the cynical maxim that
all men have their price, yet his acts do
indicate that he believes the silencing
OF the public conscience is only matter
of "How muchP"

The American people may possibly be
mistaken in their ideas Of justice to
Puerto Rico, but they can never be con-
vincea OF their mistake by the methods
of Senator Hanna. Voters whose con-
sciences have been aroused are not to be

RESPECT THE COURT.
Dr. Hla smith Guilty OF Contempt of
Court aud Fined

Dr. Hna smith Guilty OF Contempt Of
Court aud Fined
The HilL Smith contempt OF court
case was heard yesterday afternoon by
Judge b. T, Ha'ner Of Perry This
charge against the ady grew out of
an injunction order against the con-
siruetion OF tall fence between her
property and that of Horace Speed
She endeavored TO evsde the order Of
TIE court by constructing a sixty foot
shed, ten feet high on the north edge
of her lot. aud sbuttipg On the division
line of the two lots. She was arres ed
on the charge of contempt of court
and appeared before Judge Burford
who issued the injunctions. he grant
ed her a change OF Judge and the
hearing was assigned to Judge Hainer.
The case absorbed all the afternoon
and in the evening Judge Hainer gave
his decision, sustaining the injunction
and holding that the lady was guilty
Of the charge of contempt He fined
her one dollar and the costs of the
suit and gave an imperative order for
her to remove the sheds within three
days or 20 TO Jail.
Judge Hsiner ss d the only reason
on which he could exercise lienency on
IN such contempt as this was the mere
fact Of being the defendants first Of
fence. The fact of engaging a corps
Of workmen and commencing at 5
o'clock on the morning of legal holi-
day was conclusive evidence that the
defendant knew she was endeavoring
10 evade the order Of the court and
Tat to claim those SD eds as substantial
improvement c. the property or other
wise was fiimsy subtertuge to evade
the order of the court.
The dignity Of the court must at
all times be sustained" said Judge
Hainer, "for it is fundamental in good
government, and willful violations of
its orders must be punished accord
ingly. 1t will not do to allow such to
be 3"
The evidence deduced indicated the
desire of the lady to construct 81 feet
more of this shed. which would bring
the obstruction flush with the front
line of the lot on Broad street. Lum-
Der and stone were on the ground for
that purpose, and Architect Foucart
had made the specifications for the
same.
The witnesses for Mr.. Speed were

The groeerymen have been forced
