ton when the attack was made on Presi-
dent Mckinley. Messrs. Collins and Hoos
were near the spot and witnessed the
excitement that followed. Mr. Van Keur-
ems son, Clarence, was passing the spot
when the shooting occurred and heard the
report of the revolver
Mr.. Collins says that the excitement
that followed for a few moments was
something terrible to witness. Men were
crazed when they heard what had hap-
pened and made rush for the spot, but
the police were too quick for them The
police bundled the assassin hurriedly into
a coach and drove rapidly through the
crowd. Even at that strong men grasped
the spokes of the coach's wheels and tried
to stop it in their efforts to get the would
be assassin. Many followed the coach at
a dead run. People huddled in groups OF
threes and fours and discussed the dast-
ardly act.
Discussing the deplorable event Satur-
day night, Mayor Hoos said:-McKinley
is the last one that would think
would be picked out for assassinat ton.
He was universally liked"

horrible. hardly know what should pc
done with the man who did it, and it's
hard to say what must be done to rid the
country of such fiends.'
Finance Commissioner Midlige saids-
Let the law take its course. The would
be assassin was fighting against law and
order. Personally, I think the bastard
deserves worse punishment than the law
will inflict."
Street and Water Commissioner Heintze
id:-"It's all well enough to talk about
law and to allow it to take its course.
That's right. and proper. But if he has
killed the President and it were left to me
to deal out the punishment fear I'd have
him torn limb from limb and joint from
joint"
Clerk George T. Bouton. of the Street
and Water Board, said:-..T can't help but
think that the police should stretch a
point in case like this. OF course, they
did their duty and are deserving of credit
But to think that matters are reaching a
point where President of Republic ike
this can't go in among his people
in safety makes one feel like dealing more
harshly. in such cases, This. is not a
monarchy. and those people themselves
are allowed to express their choice at the
polls. A law should be enacted by Con-
gress making it a capital offense to att
tempt the life of a President"

anarchists in several Of the Eastern

"Will Schley be exonerated?"
"Hs has never been condemned in the

the outcome Of the trial will be cannot

Admiral Evans said he was not in q

An Ediiorlal T,mperaree Leetare.

In the last issue Of the Sparta Demo
crat Editor Streeter gives few personal
experiences that have come within his
observation and relates them as follows:
am not a temperance crank and l
have always been willing to accord to
saloonkeepers all the privileges they bay
and pay for, but the longer ! live the
more fully convinced / am that more
misery and suffering results from
whisky than from all other causes com
bined. During the past week, without
any effort on my part. several distress
ing incidents have come under my OBJ
servation which emphasize this fact,
and also the further fact that someone
in Sparta is disregarding the law regu.
lating the sale of intoxicants.
One young married woman declared
that she did as many as five washings
day; her husband had steady work at
good wages, and yet 1t took all she
could earn 10 feed and cloth the family
IF only he would leave whisky alone,
continued the poor little woman with
sob Il would be willing to work even
| harder, and we could soon have a little
home of our own.
Another woman. widow who has
| quite a family 10 support, burst into
| tears when grocery Dill was presented
TO her and declared that while she work
| ed hard from ten 70 fifteen hours each
| day, she could not meet exp nses. She
| has two sons, II and 10 years of age, re-
spectively. both Of whom have steady
work. aud neither contributes one cent
| in aid Of the mother She says she sees
them only on Saturday nights, when
they come home drunk and abuse her
Where do they get the llquort
A young woman, married less than a
year, was on the streets last Saturday
night pleading with her drunken hus'
band 70 go home with her, while a
couple Of OOon companions urged him 70
stay wild de gang, which he did, send
ing his weeping wife home with dol
lar out of his weeks wages 70 keep
house on until another pay day.
AZ said before, | am not a temper
ance agitator OF crank, but ! belisye the
facts above set fourth taHd they ARR
facts are temperance argument thai
! should have weight with men who are
lyet able 70 think.

Make Good Use Of the Hours, Boys.

A valued exchange thus speaks plain
ly to the boys Of the land; 1t is now
only few weeks till school begins again,
darn it, said young lad in our hearing
the other day. Twenty years from now
what different song they will sing.
Now he sees nothing but the enjoyment
OF the hour, then he will upbraid bis
parents because ths y did not compel him
10 20 to school and store his mind with
useful knowledge to fit him for some
thing better than the knowledge re-
CURED by a day laborer, and 1t will
always be a subject of bitter regret that
the precious hours were allowed to slide
away unimproved when he was boy.
The boy who sees this item is reminded
that now is the time to fit himself Tor
the duties Of life and that he can not do
things by idly passing his time. There
il no excellence without great labor, Is
as much a trueism now as it was in
Frauklins time; not without labor can
the mind be stored with the knowledge
that raises you above the beasts OF the
field Rejoice, boys, that there are so
many avenues of success open to you IL
you only prepare to enter them, and get
to work with an honest intention TO win
q place among men There is no occu-
patton in which a man cannot use an
education to good advantage.

ALlrTLE SERMON.
TO BE. DO AND BEAR.


Be--Do- Bear. These three words
cover large part of our duty in life.
Among the things to Be, are truthful,
Just and charitable. We must be true
To ourselves and to all.
ITO thine own self be true.
Aud 1t must follow. as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
To be just one must not allow person
al prejudice, or some whin, or fancy to
irHuece from strict sense of right. Do
not be led by specious arguments of any
kind. Strive to think truly and Judge
from right standards. Above all comes
charity. He who does no good while
he lives. dies like beast. Charity
suffereth long and is kind" Be chari-
table in thought and charitable deeds
will follow. Let your judgments be
merciful.
We must do. In doing lies content,
Idleness is fatal to happi-
ness. ICleness breeds discomfort IN
idleness evil impulses have opportunity
tn use their influence to sway our minds.
Work. Follow some useful pursuit.
Fill the time and thought with doing
something useful and good. Life will
be more complete, more satisfactory,
And we must bear Bear with pa
tience all that cannot be helped, Bear
with the faults of, not only those we
love. but be patient with those = 10 are
disagreeable 10 u.s. We cannot look in
to their souls, in their hidden lives and
see what made them So Show to others
the mercy we would have shown to our
selves We must bear the Affections
which come to us in the natural course
of life, They are part Of life. This
is the life which we have to make the
most of The present is the important
time. In it we must do those things
which we see to do. If we put our mind
and energy on our work, there will be
small space left for repining, or for svil.
Work is the blessing, the salvatie q OF
mankind. To do is the great aim and
purpose of life. In each of these little
words, Be. Do, Bear, lies whole SER
mon. An otherwise vacant hour may
be profitably spent in developing the
many great thoughts bound up in them.

camp extended hearty welcome vhich
was responded to by Q. P. Vaughan Of
Wauzeka. The principal address was
by our fellow townsman, Attorney q.
J. Smith and it was thoughtfui, happy
effort, well received and generously ap-
plauded. Viola won the prize for the
best drilled team of Foresters. The
game of ball between Cashton ana hlgn-
land teams proved a walk-away for the
invincible Cashtonites they wicning Is

Boscobel, Wauzeka, La Earge and two
from Soldiers Grove.
The writer regrets that his few ho'lrs
stay at La Fargo precluded visit among
more of his friends and patrons. But
all business people appeared to busy to
talk or visit. He noticed however, evil
dences Of material growth and improve
ment in all sections Of TIE town since
