A whipping post law is much
n eeded in Missouri. 1t would
save the people thousands of
dollars annually in criminal
costs and Jail expenses. State
Auditor Seibert gives out the
in formation that the approprla-
ton made by the last legisla-
ture for the payment of crimi-
nal costs has been exhausted
and no more criminal costs can
be paid until another appropri
alton has been made. Reduce
this burden by the whipping
post.

Col. McGraw's solar plexus the charge
that he never did amount to shucks
in. politics and has always been a
mere inexperienced country pumpkin,
whom it were misnomer to call a
politician, and thus from playing the
pant of Mephistopheles to the Fausts
of Messrs. Camden and Davis, Col
McGraw is suddenly lowered to be-
meath the notice of those able Demo-
Gratis. For instance:
IF by chance the Legislature should be
Democratic what greater calamity could
befall the State than to have it represent
ed by such a man of Colonel McGraw $
calibre Think of the figure he would cut
in rafting around in the shoes of such
Democrats as have represented the State
as Henry G. Davis and Johnson n. Cam
den How long would it take him, with
his lack of experience, to reach place
of power and influences IN the Senate
After delivering this hot shot our
neighbor rubs salt in the wound and
again shifting it's position suddenly
discovers that if Mr.. McGraw were
elected to the Senate the State of
West Virginia If not the whole Ameri-
can union would at once go to the
eternal bow-wows. For example:
To-day the State is equal in influence
with the Executive to almost any other
State in the Union. 1t is we'll known
high, anu its resources are attn acting at
tention as they never did before. But If
Mr.. McGraw should attain his ambition
what would become of all the good work
hat M 6nna2 <yonl6 14nSo into a
state of stagnation, if not retrogression.
1t remains with the people of West Vir-
ginia to say whether this calamity shall
harper to her.
Here we have it. The success of Col.
McGraw would mean death and dam
nation; our grand forests would
wither up and die the night of his
election to the Senate; our coal and
iron mines would cease to yield their
precious minerals; the sun would no
longer shine on our hills and Wales;
the COWS would dry up, and the hens
quit work.
But even funnier than all the fore
going is the following from the same
unconscious Fourteenth street humor-
list:
There is no doubt that the Democratic
party is preparing to repeat the tactics
employed in 1896 in debauching the ballot,
and it, therefore, must be watched with
almost sleepless vigilance, and nc one man
more closely than John 7. McGraw.'
When the able boodlers at the head
OF affairs for the g. o. p in West Vir-
g;nia read this from the hot weather
pen of their able Wheeling organist,
they will smile and smile again, and
then softly wink the other eye.
Meanwhile, it is we'll to bear in mind
that when the organs of the tricky
leaders Of the 6. o. p. begin to raise
their customary cry of stop, thief"
il is high time to keep an eye on the

MADCAP ROOSEVELT.

Our dear, truthful contemporary
the Intelligencer, has discovered that
Teddy, the Terror" he of the wide
and reckless mouth and loud, piercing
voice, has been misauoted by wicked
Democratic editors in the following
from his recent wild and woolly St.
Paul utterance:
"They tthe Democrats of the country
stand for lawlessness and disorder, for
dishonesty and dishonor, for license and
disaster at home and cowardly shrinking
from duty abroad"
1T will be noticed" says our neigh
Dor, that there is an Interpolation in
brackets. Without the language in
the brackets Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted
correctly. But Mr. Roosevelt never
applied such terms to the Democrats
of the country"
The trouble with this explanation
is it explains nothing. If Mr.. Roose-
welt did not speak of the Democrats
and the Democracy of the country as
the faithful stenographer quoted his
words, what was it he said, and what
did he mean? Our neighbor fails to
enlighten us. 1t enters a mere gener-
81 denial that does not deny and will
convince no one that Roosevelt has
been IN any way misquoted or garbled
The truth Is the young mans impet-
uous ardor ran away with him,
and he did utter precisely the wild
language and sentiment attributed to
him. 1t is this fact that hurts and
arouses the wiser heads in the g. o.
p. to strenuous denial 1t is not this
iharum scarum young rough riders
first, nor will it be his last, bad break.
The question for the American people
to consider is this, do they want this
madcap in the seat of President Of the
Senate, or as possible successor to the
Presidency?-a man who holds in
such profound contempt half the vot-
ers of the country! ,..,l

AN INSTANCE.

Not only 'for ways that are dark
and tricks that are yain," but
also for pure, unadulterated gall
the heather Chinee is star
performer in the present bloody in
ternational drama now occupying the
worlds stage in the Orient.
After what has passed recently and
the bold fraud and deception practiced
almost openly upon us by the sly Ce-
lestials, it requires wondrous cheek
on the part Of the Chinese government,
which has been doing it's best to muir
der the ministers and all Christians at
the legations in Pekin, to now ask the
government at Washington to secure it
(China) against the aggression of the
powers. And it is interesting and re-
assuring to know that this nervy appeal
has been summarily thrown aside and
ignored by the Washington officials.
After they have despoiled and at
tempted to murder our legationers they
coolly ask us to protect them from in
ternational law and a righteous VEN
geance! Does the Chinese government
think Americans fools, possessed of I'M
limited patience and no sense of wrong
or outrage?
The State Department, we repeat,
has done we'll to ignore this impertinent
appeal until at least our repeated de-
mands have been complied with.
However, it is not altogether to the
credit Of the government at Washington
that this course has been adopted, be-
cause, to be consistent with its own i'm
perial policy of foreign conquest it
could pursue no other course. While
we are carrying on our own war of
criminal aggression''-t use Mr.
McKinley's own characterization of
such warfare before the forces of i'm
perialism and greed, lust of power and
conquest forced him to adopt it in the
Philippines-on what basis of consis-
sncy, by what right, or on what ground
could we offer our good offices to pre-
vent or deter any other power from
doing in China, or South Africa or any
where just what we are doing with all
our might in the Philippines?
1t is such instances as this that re-
call to us as with an electric shock, the
cold hard fact that our own acts of
criminal aggression and attempted
conquest of weaker alien people have
put it for the first time in our history
out OF the power OF this free govern
ment TO pursue our traditional and
beautiful policy of sympathizing with
and substantially befriending oppressed
and liberty loving humanity wherever
we might find it appealing TO us.
Fortunately the cruel and wicked
Chinese do not deserve our considera-
ton, but there are others who do and
who. q few short years ago. would have

Slatington fromla funeral, the occn-
pants had been attending at Cherrys-
vile. The coach belonged to Henry
Bittner, of Slatington, and the dead
and injured were nearly all relatives
of Sophia Schoeffer, at whose obse-
quies they had been present. The
train was a special and consisted of an
engine and one car. At the point at
which the collision occurred there is a
sharp curve in the road and the ON
nibus came along at a good rate of
speed, the occupants unconscious of
any impending danger. AS the bus
swung around the curve the engine
and car came in sight. 1t was too late
to stop either the omnibus or the train
and as the driver of the former whip
ped up the four horses to cross the
track ahead of the train, the latter
crashed into its middle. The occu-
pants were thrown in all directions,
bruised and bleeding The eleven
dead were killed outright. Physicians
and special train were sent for and
the injured were taken to South
Bethlehem.
No Waterman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of any approach
ing train and those living in the vicin-
ity state that it is impossible to hear
an approaching train. A peculiar
feature of the accident was that the
horses drawing the bus escaped I'M
hurt.

rell of wrong-doing, and the news was
terrible shock to her and her par
ents who had regarded Terrell as a
model young man. The young lady
had never doubted his story that the
money which he placed in her keeping
had been earned and saved by him,
as he stated.
A SteubenvilIe Man.
Ferrells home is in Steubenville,
Ohio. His father is said to be a
bridge carpenter and a highly respect
ed citizen of that place Ferrell work
ed for the Adams Express Company at
Steubenville, coming to Columbus a
year and four months ago, when he
was given a run as messenger be-
tween Columbus and Pittsburg. He
was discharged about three months
ago. after three complaints had been
made against him on account of
broken packages. Terrell was not able
to give a very satisfactory explana-
ton in any instance and after the last
complaint he was discharged from the
service. The express company does
not charge Terrell with crookedness in
any of these cases. but say that he
did not give satisfactory service. Il
is believed that all the cash taken by
Terrell except about s150--hich he
had spent, has been recovered.
The amount in the hands of the police
is s1.06031 A bundle of money orders
which Terrell says he threw into a vault
have not been recovered. II has been
determined by Ferrell's confession that
the murder and robbery were committed
in Union county, and that he viii have
to be tried there. He states that ne shot
Lane just after the train left Milford Cen
ter and the robbery must have been COM
mitted in Union county also, as ne left
the train at Plain City. which is almost
on the line between Union and FRANKLIN,
counties
Tonight Terrell has recovered his COM
posure after eating a hearty supper and
smoking cigar.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
A HOT WEATHER HUMoRIsT.

Our contemporary, the Intelligencer,
has never been accused of being a
political humorist or of taking a hui
morous view of matters political. In
fact, it is too sullen and bitter a par
tisan to care to know the humorous
side of politics. But often it is de-
cidedly, if unconsciously, funny. 1t was
so Saturday in its remarkable revel-
ations of the inner workings of the
minds of some Democratic leaders in
the present campaign. Mr.. McGraw,
Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Camden, all were held
up and their mentalities, their plots
and plans turned inside out in public
view by our clairvoyant contemporary.
1t must have been quite amusing to
lnese Democratic leaders as well as
light reading for the general public
during the heated spell. For example,
our neighbor solennly tells us:
Colonel McGraw is working a very slick
game. He is to-day the acknowledged
leader of the party, and he is using every
means in his power to bring into the fold
such wise ex-leaders as ex-Senators Cam
den and Davis. AS the Intelligencer re-
marked some time ago he is pouring hon.
eyed words of into the ears of both these
astute statesmen, leading them to believe
that there may be a chance for them, in
case the Legislature is Democratic, of sue
ceeding Senator Elkins in the United
States Senate. But all the time McCraw
is working and planning for McGraw'
All. ha! Thus is Col. McGraw dis
covered and dragged forth into the
dazzling glare of Our neighbor's
search-light.
Then with airy fairy ease the able
Fourteenth street editor swipes Mr..
McGraw from another and quite I'M
looked for direction. In fact, after ac-
cusing him Of being veritable Machi-
avellian in politics, our neighbor side
steps with the mysterious ease Of a
Fitzsimmons and delivers plump into

NINE PERSONS INJURED
By One Flash of Lightning in the
Suburbs of New York Yesterday

BY One Flash of Lightning in the
Suburbs of New York Yesterday.
NEW YORK, August 12.-Nine per-
sons, who hurriedly sought shelter I'M
der some trees and bushes in THE
Woods" in Bronx section, during the
storm this afternoon, were struck by
the same flash of lightning The per-
sons injured were:
James Brown, Hungarian tailor, OF
| this city.
His wife.
His five children.
Bertha Lescowitz, and
Bertha Silverman, neighbors of the
Browns
All the injured persons were taken to
Fordham hospital. At a late hour to-
night the attending physicians thought
Mrs. Brown. two of her children and
Bertha Silverman could not possibly
! live. The Silverman girl was the worst
injured of all. OF Bertha Lescowitz,
the physicianes said she would die or
become insane.
The family decided early in the week
to spend the day in a little picnic of
their own and selected "The Woods"
as desirable place.
They invited the Lescowitz and Silver
man girls to go with them. Mr.. Brown
and his party had just sat down to
their lunch when it began to rain and
blow They were all under a large oak
tree when the father told them to seek
shelter some place else as he was afraid
of lightning hitting the tree. Part of
them ran down a little pathway under
bluff and crouched under bush and
the others scampered to some shelter
ing bushes on top of the bluff. They
had hardly hidden themselves when
there was a binding flash and crash.
Three children on top of the bluff
were hurled into the street below and
lay unconscious. Mr.. Brown and
Bertha Lescowitz were thrown fifteen
feet and We're also rendered unconscious
The children whom they held in their
arms, strangely escaped with compare
lively light injuries.
