Two Men Killed.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 16.-A bad
freight wreck occurred on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
early Sunday near Eggleston, Mimi,
in which a number of loaded freight
cars were destroyed and two men
were killed. The trains had orders to
meet at Eggleston, but the north
bound engineer for some reason
went by the station at full speed, and
dashed into the south-bound train,
which was standing on the main
track. Railroad people are inclined
to the belief that Engineer FAKE, who
was killed, together with his fireman,
was either asleep or had died at his
post of heart disease.

horrible crime, which has not even the
excuse that the anarchist is prosecuted
in the United States, since, as is we'll
known, freedom and tolerance are
there extended to him. Nor has it the
excuse that President Mckinley was a
ruler of exclusive Or aristocratic tend
encies, for he was, by reason of his po-
.sition as popular ruler and his own
personal feelings, sympathies and hab-
its, a good friend of the people, a GEN
uine democrat in the best sense of the
word; so that this crime was as useless
and unprovoked as it was abominable
in every respect. With regard to Mex
icQ, President Mckinley had ever evi-
denced such friendly sentiments that
his death will be incurred in this coun-
try hardly less keenly than in the.
United States; for myself it is loss Of

The jackson Hustler tells this
story of marriage under difficulties
"Charles Hill, of Morgan county,
was married Wednesday to beau
tiful Perry county girl, but he was
married under embarrassing cir
cumstances. He was going to the
hoIue of his bride to-be on horse
back, all dressed for the ceremony.
When he passed the home of Rand
Benson and wife, on the Hazard and
Grapevine Greek road, he heard the
couple quarrelling and saw Benson
use whip on his better half. Hill
hurriedly dismounted and proceeded
forcibly to object by seizing the
husband and throwing him out OF
the house. Mrs. Benson, enraged
by such treatment of her liege lord,
rctaliated by throwing a crock of
buttermilk all over Hill. The wed
ding suit was soaked, and as Hill
rushed for his horse the Benson dog
attacked him from the rear, sue
ceeding in securing one long tail of
a newly bought broadcloth coat.
Reaching the home Of his intended
Hill tried to postpone the ceremony
until he could procure a change of
clothing, but the girl demurred, and
the couple were married with the
bridegroom looking much the worse
for wear"

some of the most abhorrent
traits of character a man can pos
sess, in my estimation, is hypoc-
risy. We all have met men who
go about clothing themselves in
scriptural teachings, yet whose
conduct toward their fellowmen
shows that they do not live up to
the teaching, Love thy neighbor
as thysclf.' The great thing in
this world for us to be is doers.
sin your business and work if
you let Christianity stop when
you leave the church door there
is not much righteousness in you.
The man who carries Christianity
into his everyday work stands a
better chance of making a success
in life than one who does not.
every man should strive to do
justice to himself, but in doing so
he should not forget the rights of
his neighbor. He should be sure
he is in the right, and then stand
squarely in the path. If there is
any moving to be done let the
other fellow do it. This applies
to nations as well as individuals
"On this question of our duty
to our neighbors let me say that
no one ought to submit to being
imposed upon, but before you act
always stop to consider the rights
of others before standing up for
your own. The only true way to
help man is to aid him in help
ing himself. All of ms stumble
many times during lifetime, and
the duty to his neighbor is to help
him to his feet as he may help
himself. You can help man sue
cessfully, but you can't carry him
successfully. If you rob man of
his self-respeet, take away his
sturdy, self-reliant manhood, no
good you. can do will m k e

PRESIDENT FOR A DAY

David r. Atchison. for one dav
President Of the United States. was
horn near Kirklevington, four miles
from Lexington on the Tate's Creek
pike, in 1907. His father, William
Atchison, in the latter part of the
eighteenth century settled on the
estate now owned by Mrs. Archie
Hamilton The house in which
David r. was born, however, was
in the rear of the present residence.
1t is small brick cottage and is
generally known as the the Head
ley place.
After graduating in the law de
psrtment of Pennsylvania (now
Kentucky University, he removed
to Missouri, where he was signally
honored by his adopted State, serv-
ing in various capacities until lS43
when he was appointed United
States Senator. He was then
elected to the office and was re-
elected, serving until 1855. Dur
ing a greater portion of his service
in the Senate he was president pro

of office was ended simultaneously
with the Presidents. The Cabinet

W. j. Bryan's Tribute to Nc
Kinley.

A tribute from w. j. Bryan to
the dead President was given to the
Associated Press Wed n es day.
Quoting the words of Major Nc
Kinlev, Goods will, not ours. be
done," Mr.. Bryan recalls the pa
thetic scenes at the deathbed, and
continues:
"The terrible deed at Buffalo,
rudely breaking the ties of family
and friendship and horrifying ev-
cry patriotic citizen, crowns most
extraordinary life with a halo that
cannot but exalt its victims place
in history. His bravery during
the trying ordeal, his forgiving
spirit and his fortitude in the final
hours give glimpses of his inner
life which nothing less tragic could
have revealed. But inexpressibly
bad as is the death of Mckinley,
the ilustrious citizen, it is the
damnable murder of Mckinley,
the President, that melts seventy
five million hearts into one and
brings a hush to the farm, the fac
tory and the forum. Death is the
inevitable incident of every human
career. 1t despises the sword and
the shield of the warrior and laughs
at the precautions suggested by
science. Wealth cannot build
walls high enough or thick enough
to shut it out and no house is hum
bic enough to escape its visitation.
Even love, the most potent force
known to man-love, the charac
teristic which links the human to
the divine-even love is powerless
in its presence. It's contingence is
recognized in the marriage vow,
until death do us part, and is
written upon friendships ring.
But the death, even when produced
by natural causes, of a public SER
want charged with the tremendous
responsibilities which press upon a
President shocks the entire coun-
try and is infinitely multiplied
when the circumstances attending
constitute an attack upon the Gov
ernment itself. No one can esti-
mate the far reaching effect of such
an act as that which now casts a
gloom over our land. 1t shames
America in the eyes of the world ;
impairs her moral prestige and
gives enemies of free government a
chance to mock at her, and it ex-
cites an indignation which, while
righteous in itself, may lead to acts
which will partake of the spirit of
lawlessness. AS the Presidents $
death overwhelms all in common
sorrow, so it imposes common re
sponsibility, namely. to so avenge
the wrong done to the President,
his family and the country, as to
make the executive life secure
without abrdging freedom Of
speech or freedom of the press
