Kiug's Daughters,

Thursday, Sept. 10, 1901, was day to
be remembered throughout the world,
and when the Kings Daughters of Co
lumbia assembled, the hush of the Ma
ton rested over the order, and the hearts
of the women arose with one accord
bearing the sorrows of our land
The meeting was an impromptu me-
mortal service, for our dead President,
Mr.. Mckinley. With the dawning of
the Goth century, We rejoiced in our
young strength, we gloried in our
mighty achievements, we boosted of our
victories by land and sea, we admired
our manv inventions, we specialized on
our coming possibilities. And now we
mourn our dead. 20, teach us to num-
Der our days"
United by a common sorrow, the
rulers of empires, the kings of the earth
and the working men are awed by this
calamity that has betallen our nation.
I'm the midst of life we are in DEATH
When the shadow of death drew near,
and the thread of life was faint. this
martyred ruler lowered far mightier in
his weakness, than in his many con
quests, for the faith of his childhood
showed respondent. 1T is Gods way;
His will be DONE" That was message
worthy to send to the islands of the sea,
to the laborer toiling for his bread, to the
King upon his throne, to the loving wife
b. his bedside and to the ruler upon the
threshold of Office. "Death is swallowed
up in victory"
Lord, thou hast been our refuge
from one generation to another"

taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord" ~**

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Interesting Program at the Columbia
Public School.

An ppropriate and impressive
service, in memory of our late, beloved
President was held at the Public school
on the 10Th, beginning at 10 30
O'CLOCK.
The school assembled in the three
large upper halls of the building. All
voices joined in singing our country s
patriotic hymn, America, and all
heads bowed in reverent attention to
the fervent prayer offered by Rev. A.
P. McFerrin.
Mrs. Sharp and Miss Lipscomb sang
''Lead, Kindly Light, favorite
hymns of the dead President.
The large audience composed ex-
clusively of boys and girls, younS,
confiding and impressionable, surely
inspired Mr.. McFerrin to say just
what he did in his address He
ealized that it was fitting occasion
to intill in those young minds the
deep truths for which all education
| is designed. To a beautiful and touch
| ing tribute to the dead, he added
earnest counsel to the living. AS he
spoke of the character of the grea
statesman, his integrity. his gentle, for
giving spirit, and his sublime christian
faith, one attentive listener thought,

tality in this life" What fame com.

that the children of the nation may be
taught to hold it ever in sacred
memoryG Mr.. McFerrin impressed the
children with the evils of anarchy, it
incipiency, its growth, and its develop
ment into monstrous crime. He gave
them this good motto for their rule OF
conduct. CHERISH reverence for thos'
over you in authority" At the close
of Mr.. McFerrin' S remarks the schoo
sang Nearer, My God. to Thee, ,
after which the benediction was pro
nounced and teachers and pupils dis
persed to their RESPECTIVE rooms to take
up again the days work, feeling that
a profitable hour had been spent II

SHOOTING NEAR DEPOT.
7. j. Shaw Slightly Wounds a Santa
Fe Man in Self Defense.

A white man by the name of Will
liams was shot by T. J. Shaw in the
latter's saloon near the depot Satur-
day.
From the testimony of several men
who were in the saloon at the time, 1t
appears that the shooting was done in
self defense. Williams was drunk at
the time, and had been quarreling
with Shaw and his porter Shaw asked
Williams to behave himself, but the
latter persisted in his conduct and
started towards Shaw with an open
knife. Thereupon, Shaw pulled his
pistol, which he had taken from a
drawer behind the counter and fired
one shot, the ball taking effect in Will
liams' leg just above the knee and
causing slight wound.
City Marshall Latta heard of the
shooting soon after it occurred and
made an investigs tiol. He satisfied
himself that Shaw was not to blame
and consequently no warrant was taken
out for his arrest.
Williams, who lives at Santa Fe,
was carried to his home Saturday even
