JAMES j. HILL TO Thu, PUBLIC.
On another page of The Globe this
morning appears an address to the pub,
lie from the pen of James j. Hill, pres
ident of the Northern Securities com
pany. For quarter of a century Mr..
Hill has been-and he is yet-the CONTROL
ling factor in railroad affairs of the
Northwest The last and greatest enter
prise of his lifelwtich has been devoted
to enterprises -ef ma gnitude-was the
formation of the Northern Securities
company, an investment company own
ing a large proportion of the common
and preferred stocks of the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and the Burling-
ton Railroad companies,
The Northern Securities company has
been assailed with all the venom and
viciousness that envy and malice could
instigate knowing little of the real
scope and purposes of the company, GER
tain newspapers and certain politicians
have poured venom from their pens and.
uttered imprecations with their tongues.
Scoring the wisdom and researches of
those who pronounced the company Ie-
gally organized corporation, these pig
mics have howled against it as a dog
bays the moon. They didn't want the
Northern Securities company organized,
and have mistaken their wishes for the
law Of the land.
AS The G 10 b e has before said. If
the Northern Securities company is an
Illegal company, there is a remedy for
anyone who feels himself injured. The
courts of the state and of the United
States do not fail to do Justice; they
are for the protection of the weak and
for the melting out of even justice to
the strong, for the latter have rights
that must and should be respected.
Mr. Hills statement is full and explicit.
1t leaves nothing unsaid that should
be said, it oversays nothing that should
be said. The history of conditions pre-
vailfng, which led to the organization
of the Northern Securities company. is
given concisely; the purposes of the
company are stated affirmatively, and
the beneficial results to follow the Sec
tons OF country through which the rail-
roads involved run are made plain.
The statement speaks for itself. Ev-
eryone should read it for himself, care
fully and thoughtfully.

Swamped on a Potato Deal.

A good joke is going the
rounds on A. L. Welch, one of
our city fathers, and his partner,
G. S. Patnott of near Chraneville,
and while we will not vouch for
for the truth of the story it will
bear repeating whether it is true
or false.
AS the narrative goes Messrs.
Welch G. Patnott bought some
corn from party who lives on
the bar below Dalton. Noticing
a potato patch and being aware
that tubers this season were
somewhat on the order of a gold
mine, Mr.. Welch expressed a de-
sire to purchase the entire potato
patch, and asked the owner what
he would take for it, and was in
formed that S33 would buy it.
Mr.. Welch objected to paying so
much, argued that he and Mr..
Patnott had paid the man a good
price for his corn, and finally Of
fered S25 for the potatoes in the
ground. After a moments re-
Election the owner of the tubers
accepted the offer aud the deal
was closed.
Messrs. Welch & Patnott SAW
visions in their minds eye of
how they wonld lord it over their
neighbors this winter eating po-
tatoes. They planned a ''potato
outing and took their wives
along, either to assist them in
digging the precious potatoes or
to see that they (Messrs. Welch
e. Patnott) did a good job of it.
Imagine their chagrin, if you
can, when, after digging four
rows, they only got two little
sickly- looking potatoes.
We haven't seen Mr.. Welch or
Mr.. Patnott since the above
transaction occurred, but we are
informed that they don't come
from the farm now until dark and
leave the next morning at early
dawn, and, even then, confine
their travels, after reaching our
city, to the back streets and al
leys.

ternoon of September IL, 1901,
and followed Mrs. Turner, who

and followed Mrs. Turner, who
was accompanied by her hus-
band, up the sidewalk, cursing
and abusing her and finally draw
ing a razor from her bosom and
and flourishing it in a rude, an
cry and threatening manner, when
Miss Winkler's mother caught
her and thus put a stop to hos
tilities. Mrs. and Miss Winkler
swore that Mrs. Turner threw
back her head very tauntalizing-
ly as she passed their house and
that Miss Winkler did follow her
up the sidewalk for the purpose Of
! giving Mrs. Turner a whipping,
but Mrs. Winkler and her daugh-
er both emphatically denied that
MISS Winkler drew a razor on
Mrs. Turner. So.the razor part
of the controversy is exactly
cFossWise so far, as the sworn
statements of Il t,ir. and Mrs. Tur.
ner and Mrs. and Miss Winkler
are concerned. The testimony of
the Winkler's was sustained by
Ed Talbot, T. j. Clarkson, ST.,
and a young man named Shep-
herd, who swore that they were
some distance from the scene of
the melee, but that they saw no
razor. The Turner's claimed that
Caesar Lane and JOS. Strother,
both colored, and negro boy by
the name of Alex Harris were on
wagon load of rock near where
the difficulty occurred, and that
all three of these negroes saw
Miss Winkler draw the razor, but
not single one of these three
witnesses was ever put on the
stand, hence the ''preponder-
ance" of the testimony was in
favor of the defendant in the ra-
zor case, and the jury promptly
returned a verdict of "not gull
ty." In the case of Mrs. Wink
Ter, charged with disturbing the
peace of Mrs. Turner, the jury
seemed to think that Mrs. Wink
Ter, instead of being a disturber
of the peace, really appeared on
the scene of battle as peace
maker, for if it be true that Miss
Winkler had a razor and Mrs.
Turner knife, it was certainly
Mrs. Winkler's interference, ac-
cording to the testimony of both
sides, which prevented bloody
conflict between the two irate fe-
males. Therefore the jury re-
fused to convict Mrs. Winkler.
The costs in the case against Miss
Florence Winkler will be paid by
the county, but in the case against
Mrs. Winkler special statute
provides that for a disturbance of
the peace the costs must be
charged against the prosecuting
witness where there is failure
to convict the accused. About so
witnesses were subpoenaed on the
part of the defense, but only about
half of them claimed their attend
ance the day of the trial. The
hatred of the Winklers by the
Turner's and the animosity enter
tanned by the Turner's for the
Winklers is very intense, and

John Watts, col, pleaded gull
ty before Justice F. M. Colvin at

charge of riding a horse belong

Watts was brought to Keytesville
and lodged in Jail. This makes

The cases of the state of Mis-
souri, against Miss Florence Wink
Ter and her mother, Mrs. Rebecca
Winkler Of Dalton, the former
charged with drawing a razor on
Mrs. G.. D. Turner of Dalton, and
the latter with disturbing Mrs.
Turner's peace, were tried by a
jury in Justice H. A. Wheeler's
court at Keytesville last Friday,
and resulted in the acquittal of
both Of the defendants. A good
deal of i'll feeling had been en-
gendered between the prosecut-
ing witness and her husband, G..
D. Turner, on one side and the
Winkler family on the other-in
fact, Mrs. Turner made such an
exhibition Of her high temper and
showed so plainly the venom she
possessed for the Winklers that
the cause of the state was ma
terially injured by her testimony.
The whole trouble seems to have
had it's origin in some anonymous
letters (the most cowardly of all
cowardly practices) in which G.
D. Turner was charged with hav-
ing burned F. M. Shepherds liv-
cry barn at Dalton and also with
having poisoned a horse belong
ing to Jas. Winkler, Miss Flor
ence Winkler's father. The Tur-
ners say they had reason to be-
lieve these letters were written by
Miss Florence Winkler, and Mr..
Turner swore on the witness stand
that Miss Winkler had admitted
to him that she wrote a letter of
the character named to Turner.
Miss Winkler, however, denied,
under her oath, that she had told
Turner she wrote such a letter,
but said she had told him she be-
lieved he (Turner) had poisoned
her pa ,a's horse. Mrs. Turner
is the Dalton correspondent to

had taken exceptions to some
items, culmin ating in threat to
give Mrs. Turner a thrashing.

Mckinley Memorial Services.


Salisbury last Thursday:
When death enters the home
sorrow follows in it's wake; when
the head of a great nation is
stricken down the world weeps.
In the presence of death we lay
aside the asperities of life, and
come together on the common
ground of sympathy to pour the
Oil of consolation into the wound
of a broken heart.
In the death of President Nc
Kinley the nation lost one of it's
greatest men; humanity friend !;
his native state one of it's most
illustrious citizens; his church a
faithful member; all mankind a
worthy example, and the wife of
his bosom a loving, devoted hus-
band.
On an occasion like this words
are too feeble to express what the
heart feels; what true love de-
mands, and what real sympathy
would say to the bereaved. We
pause on the threshold of sorrow,
and, looking up through our tears,
say to the God of the universe, as
did our martyred friend, "Thy
will, not ours, be done.'
In the providence Of God he
calls men to come up higher, and
when President Mckinley had
reached the most evalted position
on earth his Father called him to
occupy the heights of glory.
When he had thoroughly demon
strated the possibilities of Amer
lean manhood and had shown by
a life of devotion to his country,
his home and his God what ev-
cry citizen may do, he left her.
itage to his fellow-countrymen
more precious than rubies, and
more to be desired than much
fine gold.
VIM. Mckinley rose above the
sordid things of this earth. He
worshipped the God of love and
not the god of Mammon. With
many opportunities for enriching
himself he spurned them all, and
died, comparatively speaking, a
poor man. His life was unsel-
fish, his motives were pure, his
impulses warm and generous, his
love Of country constant, his de-
votion to duty inspiring and his
death a triumph over the last
enemy.
VIM. Mckinley is dead, but his
work will live. Monuments of
marble may crumble, but the let
ters of love engraved on the heart
will stand forever.
History's pages will record his
virtues; mothers will point to him
as a worthy example for aspiring
sons: fathers will revere and hon.
or his name; poets will chant his
praises; painters will place his
lineaments on canvas; statesmen
will extol his loftiness of charac-
ter, and the human race regard
him as a benefactor.
Plain and unassuming, gener-
Gus to a fault, kind and sympa-
thetic, pure in his private life,
forgiving in his nature, faithful
to his friends and just to his en-
emies, VIM. Mckinley exempli-
fled the very highest type of
American manhood.
His life was poem, his exam
pie an inspiration, his tragic death
a triumph. When his country
was in peril he was first to the
front, and when peace was re-
stored he was first to forgive and
forget.
He was a man of peace, but
not afraid of war when necessary
to preserve national honor or the
rights of the people.
Men might question his judg-
ment, but not impugn his mo-
tives. In a field of usefulness he
was stricken down, but others
will lift the banner of duty and
bear il to victory,
