Mrs. Grenfel's Lecture.

North Park had the pleasure-and
indeed it was a pleasure OF hearing
Mrs. Helen l.. Grenfel, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, lecture
last Wednesday. The day was windy
and really disagreeable, but our peo-
pic came in from their ranches and
nearly all of Walden turned out so
chat the church was nearly full OF
men women and children. y. T.
Mosman, mayor of Walden, was made
Chairman and he introduced our in
dustrious County Superintendent,
Miss Mary L. Gill, who in a short
address told of the advantages
of an education, and the i'm
portance of starting right and get
ting thoroughly grounded in the
preliminary work, even to the COM
piete absorption of the three Rs,
reading, writing and arithmetic
She demonstrated to the audience her
entire devotion to the cause of educa-
ton and the UNION cheerfully en-
dorses her remarks and her work; be-
lieving that she Is a worthy public
servant and deserving Of our united
-upport She closed by introducing

hangs on to life with good chances at

deed, one can only believe he was
prompted by the lowest instincts of
the human heart. Whether anarchist
or not, the work of the assassin is "a

This Is no time nor place to even
refer to political disagreements. Mr.
Mckinley is our president, twice
chosen to that exalted position by a
very strong voice OF his fellow citi-
zens and as such he is entitled to
our respect, and safety at all times
from the wild-cyed, crack-brained,
cranks, who through ignorance, pas
sion, and depravity, fancy the bullet
is the proper argument, or means to
bring about great results for good.
Such methods are brutal savage, and
not to be thought of in these times of
high morality, civilization and law.
We deeply sympathize with Mrs. Nc
Kinley and the immediate family,
and hope the president will soon re-
cover from his dangerous wound.

Judicial Tyranny.

Judge John II. Baker, of the
United States circuit court at Indian.
opolis, issued an order against strik-
ers, which is referred to as the most
sweeping order Of its kind ever issued
by asourt. Among other things, this
order restrains the strikers "from
compelling or inducing, or attempting
to compel or induce, by threats, in
timidation, persuasion, force or vic.
lence" any of their fellow employees
''to refuse or fail to do their work or
discharge their duties as such EN-.
ployes.'
The strikers are also restrained
from inducing any of their fellow
employees to quit work. They are
also restrained from inducing any
persons not to enter the employ Of
the concern against which the strikers
are contending. 1t is also provided
in this order that the strikers must
refrain "from going, either singly OF
collectively, to the homes of en-
ployes" for the purpose Of inducing
these employees to quit work.
The attorney tor the strikers has
advised them, al do not believe the
judge meant that you could not argue
soberly and pleasantly, to induce any
man to Join you. He could not for
bid that If the judge did not mean
this, then no meaning can be con-
veyed through the English language.
And yet it is difficult to believe that
in this free country judge could be
found who would issue an order,
which, il it means anything at all,
strikes blow at free speech.
The attorney for the concern
against which the strikers are con-
tending says that the word persuasion
means just what 1t says. alt means
just this" said this attorney, "that II
any one OF those strikers should 60
to the house Of any employe, or stop
him on the street, or any other place,
and endcayer to talk him or her into
joining the strike, that person, Or per-
sons, is in contempt Of court"

5, While Holding Reception at the
ton, Buffalo, N. r., But Still Lives.

Last Friday afternoon our quiet
little town was startled by a telephone
message from Laramie stating that
President Mckinley had been shot, at
the great Temple OF Music, Buffalo,
n. Y, while holding reception.
The news fell on our people as a
kind of stunning blow n, first, and
many were slow to believe it, think
ing such & thing impossible; but later
messages confirmed the report, and
then all was anxiety to get fuller ac
counts, telling who did il, how it was
done, and why Nothing much more
definite could be learned until Satur.
days mail brought the Denver dailies,
and they contained only meager ac-
counts of the shooting. So the sus-
pense continued until Monday night,
when more elaborate details were
given.
a man by the name of Icon Czol-
gosz you will haye to pronounce it
YOURSELF born in this country, but of
Polish parents, walked up to the
president, in line with the throng of
people who were attending his recep-
ton, holding a handkerchief over his
right hand as though it were wound
ed, and extending his left as il to
shake handsome report says lie &C.
tually shook hands with the president
and at the same instant fired two
shots with his right hand from
small pistol Of the style of Der
ringer, into the presidents body,
One bullet struck him on the upper
portion of the breast bone, glancing
and not penetrating: the second bul-
let penetrating the abdomen five
inches below the left nipple and one
and one-half inches to the left Of the
medlan line.
At the time, there were near him
his private secretary, George B. Cor
telyon, two members Of the secret
service, and many other personal
friends. The shooting was so quick
ly done that all were Supplied for Il
few seconds, when the members of
the secret service fell upon the would
be assassin, overpowered him, and
bore HIM away prisoner. In the
meantime his private secretary and
Others began to look after the presi-
dent who grew weak and faint and
would have fallen, had not his secre-
tary caught him. He was soon taken
to Il seat and quick calls sent for doc
tors.

PRESIDENT SAVES CARTOONS.

Washington Correspondence of Chicago
 Tribune.
 Ever since the days when he was civil service commissioner under President Harrison, President Roosevelt has kept a scrapbook, in which he pastes, as fast as they appear, the cartoons In the daily press which appeal to him. and of which he Is the central figure. Mrs. Roosevelt has said to his friends on several oc- casions that the cartoons which tickle him with an expansive grin and giving the most absurd prominence to his double row of worries.
 And of all these a cartoon from the pen of a famous New York caricaturist print ed at the time MT. Roosevelt was New York's police commissioner, is his pride and delight, and the one to which he ai- ways turns when he has occasion to make additions to the well filled volume of absurdities. It is easy to understand the interest which MT. Roosevelt takes in the cartoon in question. and the req son for the spontaneous laugh that comes to his lips every time he glanccs at 1t, when it is remembered that when he was police commissioner he attended to the duties of his office with his un- failing and unvarying energy. honesty, and sincerity-traits sufficiently rare and original in an incumbent of the office in question as to be startling to the rank and file of his subordinates.

LARGEST SEA FIGHTER IN WORLD

From the Chicago Record Herald
 The attention of the great naval powers is directed to the largest cruiser in the world the King Alfred, just launched by Great Britain. Not content with SUD- porting navy equal to the combined na- vies of the two greatest naval powers Great Britain must possess the largest armored leviathan afloat.
 The question that naval experts will ask is: Does the building of the King Alfred add as much to Englands naval strength as would two smaller cruisers of equal cost?'' The King Alfred is 800 feet long and Il feet in the beam What could Admiral Schley have done with the King Alfred in the battle of Santiago? Sup pose 1t had been the admiraps flagship instead of the Brooklyn and the admiral had attempted to execute the famous loop which enabled him to get broad- side to tho escaping enemy and help de- stoy It's fleet?
 The Brooklyn, conceded to be one of the largest and most formidable sea fighters in the world, is 400 feet long, with q breadth of GA feet In making the loop at Santiago she was enabled to keep within her tactical diameter, which was GOO yards. The Oregon, the bulldog of the navy is s4S feet long, with a breadth of @ feet. These armorclads bore the brunt of battle at Santiago.
 The fact Is. naval experts are very gen. orally agreed that a battle ship zoo feet long is not effective in such a combat IS the ono at Santfapo The King Alfref Ia nothing more than monster floating

The Dust Devil Laid.
} Dust Devil is laid.

The Dust Devil iB laid.
 Hurrah!
 The longest and severest autumn drouth experienced in Birmingham and the dis triet in many years was broken by slow fall of rain which began at o'clock yesterday afternoon and continued sever al hours There was sufficient rain to ef- fecthally lay the deep dust and produce the novel spectacle of mud in the road ways Of the city and suburbs
 Probably Birmingham has never before suffered so soreiy from dust, for traffic in the streets and county roads was never before so heavy and never be- fore was there so light a rain fall dur ing October. The entire fall for the month was less than an inch, and no shower of consequence fell between Sep tember 2S and November 3. So great has been the mischief of the Dust Devil that 1t has had serious effect upon the pub lie health.
 Cotton growers alone have profitted by the prolonged drouth. For them it has been an unmixed blessing.
 For those who are not cototn growers the Dust Devil Is laid

Whites and Neuroes.

There is no irresponsible conflict between the whites and blacks in the South, as some would have us believe. There need be no conflict at all, and if we are wise and just there will be none in the course of a few years. Affairs and thought are already talk ing permanent form. Racial matters are beginning to crystalize.
 This was made plain last week at the opening of negro state fair at Raleigh, North Carolina. There was a great crowd present, and before the people Governor Aycock congratu- lated the negroes upon the gains of their race. He told them that the un- written laws of the land which sepa- rate the whites and the negroes-.so- cially are immutable and cannot be changed, and he told them that out. side of social questions the whites of thC 0ohth ulS anu SNcI WOULD De the best friends the negroes of the South can find in this world
 Dr. King, a representative negro. said in reply that the negroes do not desire social equality. He said the negro could best work out his destiny by himself, and that social equality would be hurtful alike to both races No attempt would or should be made to establish social equality.
 These speeches made before a vast array of negroes at Raleigh should go to show that there is no chasm filled with blood in this section. The negroes of the South are learning and accepting society's unwrittcn laws and if the whites are just and gener. ous the friction will grow less and less as the years go on. The mischief arises from the mischief makers, some

John II. Reaqan of Texas.

It was reported last week that John II. Reagan of Texas, aged S3, was in failing health, and would soon join his colleagues of the Confederate Cabinet in another world, but later informa- tion shows that MT. Reagan bids fair to regain his accustomed health, and to live perhaps many years to come.
 The ex-Postmaster General of Jeff ferson Davis Cabinet Is the sole sur yivor of the three cabinets of Jeffer- son Davis and Abraham Lfncoln-the sole survivor of the constitutional ad- visers of either side of the great war period. The Federal Cabinet officers of that period have long been dead, and MT. Reagan lives alone of the Confederate Cabinet.
 As first constituted at Montgomery in February, 1861, the Cabinet of President Davis consisted of Robert Toombs, Secretary of State; Charles G. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury; L. Pope Walker, Secretary of War; S. R. Mallory, Secretary of the Navy; John H. Reagan, Post master General, and Judah P. Benja- min, Attorney General. Before the year ended, R. M. T. Hunter had suc- naadad ntoo,,,ho oe Caorato-., oF Ctata and Judah P Benjamin had succeeded Walker as Secretary of War. In 1862 Benjamin became Secretary of State, James A. Seddon Secretary of War, and Thomas H. Watts became Attor- ney General, to be succeeded in 1863 by George Davis. In 1864 George A. Trenholm succeeded Memminger as Secretay of the Treasury and in Jan. uary, 1865, General John c. Brecken. ridge became Secretary of War, Sed- don resigning because of criticism by the Virginia Legislature.
 Breckenridge, perhaps the youngest of them all, died a quarter of cen tury ago. Robert Toombs lived until 1885, and Memminger until 1888. Since that year John H. Reagan has had no surviving colleague. He was with MT. Davis when he was captured by Federal troops, and his post bellum career included service in both houses of Congress, and he went from ile senate chamber to a seat in the Texas railroad commission, in which he has rendered his adopted state no inconsiderable service.
 This veteran of the stormiest period of the republic was born in Sevier county, Tennessee, but he went to Texas when it was an independent republic, and his long career Is inter- woven with the affairs of that great state. A short time ago he published volume of "reminiscences, and surely he must have had at hand material for several volumes.

Elections of Next Tuesday.

State officers are to be chosen to- morrow in Iowa, Maryland, Massachu- setts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia, and legislatures are to be elected in Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, and Ohio to have the choice of United States Senators. Four Congressmen will be chosen to fill vacancies, one in Pennsylvania, one in New York, one in the Seventh District of South Carolina, to succeed J. Will liam Stokes, Democrat, deceased. Connecticut will elect delegates to a Constitutional Convention. Much in- terest attaches to the result in Mary land, where Germans return to the Senate is an issue; and there is some interest taken in the Pennsylvania election, where Quay Is fighting to hold his position against combina. tion of Republicans and Democrats.
 The contest i'll Maryland relates largely to the control of the legisla- ture, for Senator is to be elected in the place of George L. Wellington. MT. German expects to succeed him. The new election law practically dis franchises illiterate negroes. In 1899 the Democrats carried the state by 12,114 votes, but in 1900 the Republi- cans won by 13,941 votes.
 The contest in Nebraska is interest ing. The Democrats and Populists are supporting one ticket, and the Re. publicans another. In 1899 the fus- ionists carried the state by 15,105 votes, but they were beaten last year by 8222 votes.
 In New Jersey the Democrats are hopeful, although they were beaten in 1899 by 23,918 votes, and in 1900 by 56,S99 votes. The New Jersey Demo crats have not been more hopeful in long time.
 Ohio is another contested state, in spite of the fact that the state has gone heavily Republican. In 1899 the Republicans carried the state by 49,023 majority, and in 1900 by 69,036 majority. These figures are large; but tte Democrats are full of hope, and they are conducting on the lines Of reform in taxation an active cam. paign.
 These four states, together with tte New York city elections, are scenes of warm party efforts and party hopes and in every one of them the Demo crats are fighting full of that confi- dence which generally attends vic- tories. ..s;asaikS
