1t is strange indeed that so many
of the railroad boys who spend Sun
day in Darlington do not go to some
church. We hear them talking
about going to Cooks Park in Ev-
ansville and to various theaters In
Nashville, when it costs at least one
doller, but they do not go to church
where they could be in decent So
ciety and the cost would be from one
to five cents. If some of the boys
will make a practice of going to
church, others will soon follow and
it would not be long before the Ellen

various churches of our little town.

STURGIS, July y, 1901.
DEAR BEE-YOur friends in this
part of the state hope that all Earl
ingtonians and their friends greatly
enjoyed the Fourth. Our little city
was profusely decorated with flags
and bunting and bands furnished
sweet, patriotic music. Shortly af-
ter daylight big jolt wagons, surries,
buggies and saddle horses, with
drivers, pass, ngers and riders began
to pour in. The Ohio Valley College
cadets aimed with Springfield rifles
paraded the streets. AT noon a
sumptous feast was spread. At l
O'Clock Judge Cantrell, of George
town, read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. This reading was fol-
lowed by America" well rendered
by Morganfield band. Mr.. Stanley,
of Henderson, was the orator of the
day. He spoke under great disad-
vantage but in spite of difficulties
was presenting thoughts well worthy
of consideration, when a number
of Red Men, who were to take in the
sham battle, made their appearance
with guns, war-paint and war-dress
and took up their positions in readi-
ness to slay the pale-face. The
crowd seemed greatly interested in
Indians, guns, war-paint, ETC., and
left the speaker who was at this
point telling in eloquent terms Of the
liberties bought for us by the blood of
our fathers at Bunker Hill, Lexing-
ten and Valley Forge. Well, We had
the sham battle witnessed by about
4,6O0 persons. Ii was Red Men with
double -barreled shotguns versus
College Cadets with Springfields.
They charged and recharged, ex-
changed more than 800 shots and
ended by capturing all the redskins
and restoring peace. 1t seems to
have been greatly enjoytd by all.
The strikes have all been settled
and employer and employe are again
very busy producing wealth in their
respective departments.
The farmers are marketing their

The people of Hopkins county du-
ring the whole of the abuse that has
been heaped upon them by the U. M.
W., have exercised great patience,
totally ignoring insult after insult,
letting them pass by as 10 much
chaff before the wind, but there may
come time when their power of en-
durance NAV become exhausted by
acts of violence committed from
time to time upon fellow miners who
visit a neighboring county; their
patience may become worn out and
the insults be resented.
But few agitators can be found
here now, and the reason OF their
absence can be easily stated. So
many of them had been sent to this
county to perform wonders for the
u. NJ. w. in the way of organizing
and had accomplished nothing to
their honor, and as reward for fail
ure their own wages were cut to about
half what a good miner makes here.
Therefore their saloon fund was cut
off and only about enough left topay
their board with. So if they get any
liquor-which to them has become a
necessity of life-they must go away
and sponge upon relatives for board
and keep the ready cash for whisky
and beer.
Great interest was taken in the 4th
of July celebration by the miners of
this county who We're on the ground
in large numbers. They are otonly

murderer and his victim had been on better
terms earlier In the evening. About four
o'clock in the merDiDg noise was heard
by the Nneighbors and one of the neighbours
dogs ran out into the rQad making much ado,
probably over some passerby who is nov
supposed to have been the murderer. The
murder seems more likely to have been COM
mitted In fit of anger over something than
for any other reason.
The woman had the reputation of oc-
casioDaly frequenting saloons and had some
times entertained female companions at her
house who were not looked upon by her
neighbors with the strictest approval. 1t
has also developed thct her list OF callers in
cluded members of the opposite sex with
more or less frequency. These disclosures
show how 1t was possible for the murder to
have remained undiscovered for so long q
time. The neighbors were not In the habit
of associating with her.
Sheriff GerOw aud Marshall R7ss have
been at work on the case and have had one
man who had been known to visit at the
Marshall house In an uncomfortable posi-
ton for time but so far no definite clues
have yet been secured although some of the
clues obtained may yet develop into some
thing. Sheriff Gerow has offered reward
OF $500 for information leading to the arrest
of the murderer.

MRS. MARSHALL MURDERED.

Coroner's Inquest Nearly Finished Be-
fore a Post Mortem was Decided
Upon.
Mrs. N. ID. Marshall did not die natural
death and it seems like little more than an
accident which led to the discovery OF the
truth. She was murdered by blow from
something of the nature OF sandbag and in
all probability by q man with whom she
had been spending the evening and perhaps
the greater part OF the night.
The coroner's jury met Friday and heard
the testimony of the neighbors who found
the body and the physician who had been
summoned, as well as that of the husband
of the woman. All the appearances of the
body had given no clue to a murder and the
testimony of the physician showed nothing
to make such suspicion arise. The
woman's husband however said that her
watch was missing and she had been seen
wearing it Tuesday evening. This slight
thread was taken up and the jury decided
to order post mortem made. 1t was the
post mortem which told the story.
The heart and brain were found in nor
NAL condition so that the trouble could not
have been heart failure or apoplexy while
there were two clOts of blood under the
scalp which could not have been made IN
any other way than with sluDg shot or
something of that nature which being soft
and yielding but heavy, would give fear
full shock to the brain without breaking or
bruislng the surface Of the skin. Imme-
diately there was but one conclusion 10 be
arrived at and that one was taken by the
jury when 1t reached the verdict that the
death was the result of murderOus blow.
After this discovery 1t seemed at least
possible that assault as we'll as murder had
also been committed, the taking of the
watch being suggested by some as being
only blind to cover that crime.
After it became known that the woman
| had undoubtedly been murdered the efforts
to obtain some clue to the guilty person
brought out little which has so far been of
any particular use in running down the
murderer but they brought out enough to
show that the woman's life had not been
what 1t should have been and that the muir
der was not the most unnatural result OF her
| behavior. Two chairs by the side OF the
kitchen table and a pack of cards lying on

will do the amount of work together, neces-
sary to produce the kind OF piano duets that
were given by Mrs. VanNess and Miss
Peterson. Both are thorough musicians ami
devoted piansts but their playing shows
even more than the mere putting together
OF two OF the city's best piano players. The
precision, the perfect time, the careful
blending of all the shades in all that makes
for expression in music show that these
ladies have spent no smal! amount of tina
working over these theEes together and
practiclng until they become filled with the
spirit with which their music Is filed, so
that the expression from the two is har.
monious and perfect one. More than a
little credit is due them for helping to make
piano music more popular in Owosso dur
ing the last year.
Financially the concert was as successful
as the members of the club had dared hope
for. The attendance at this, the last con-
cert, was especially good.
