COOLEY SIGNS AGAIN.
Topeka Ball Player Will Be With
Boston Next Season.

Boston, Sept 1s@The National
League people here are determined to
secure an outfield that viii completely
strip that of 1901 A deal was made on
Saturday. by which Carney, the fine
RICH fielder of the Worcester club, will
play in Boston next season. He is book
ed to go to right field. Joe Rickert. of
the Worcester club, and Billy Lush, of
the Rochesters will also play here.
Lush has played great ball this year.
Boston has signed Hamilton and
Cooley so the outfield for 1902 will be
taken from Carney, Rickert, Lush,
Hamilton and Cooley.
President Soden had a talk with Fred
Tenney before the latter left this city
and as far as could be ascertained no
business was done with him. The
American League wants Tenny bad,
and il the National Leaguers here want
to retain him win have TO pay a good
round figure to do so.

SUSPEND HOG ORDINANCE.
Board of Health Thinks Porkers
Ought to Stay Awhile.

Hogs have yet two months to live IN
the city Of Topeka At its meeting last
night, the board of health voted to rec
onmend to the council that the ordi-
nance against hogs which was recently
passed by the council be suspended for
two months, to enable the owners Of
hogs in the city limits to keep their
porkers till killing time this fall.
This action was taken in response to
several large petitions addressed to the
council. and referred by the council 10
the board. The petitioners set forth
that to require the hogs to be moved
from the city at once would work a
hardship on some of the poor people in
the city who depend for their winter $
supply of meat ON the hogs which they
raise in their back yard. The board OF
health held that this was good ground
for objection, and the anti-hog ordi-
nance will not be enforced for two
months more

would come out we'll His first thought
was Of the invalid wife to whom he was
so deeply devoted and to whose comfort
he had administered for long years with
tender care. The effect the assault
might have upon himself was secondary
in Importance to the possible shock a

was Of the wretch who had made this
cruel assault upon him. Unlike the
thousands about him, he had no feeling
Of resentment, begged that no harm
should be done to the assassin. and in
terceded for his protection by the Off
GERS OF the law and his prompt removal
from any possibility Of popular vio-
lence. His last thought was for the
managers OF the exposition, who were
his hosts, and was expressed In regret
that he had possibly helped to cloud its
prospects
The true heart OF the man was shown
in his solicitude for his wife. The lofty
moral excellence OF the man was shown
in his concern lest the wretch who
would have killed him should suffer
from popular violence. The courtesy Of
the high-bred gentleman was shown in
his apologize expression to the highest
official of The exposition In that su-
preme moment of suffering and in the
presence Of death-which he had faced
many a time before in the field-he had
thought for every one except himself,
and the Presidents exalted manliness,
gentle courtesy and absolute self-for-
getfulness shone out resplendently.

THE PENALTY OF vITUPER-
ALTON.

TFrom the Milwaukee Journal
The dispatches have, just now, many
accounts of men beaten by the crowd
for expressing more or less pleasure az
the assault on the president. These men
are not anarchists. but just men who
are going about among US everywhere.
1t would be well to note the reason they
give for the opinion One reported this
morning said he was glad of it, for Nc
1Sinley was no poor mans president"
Another was glad Of it because McKin-
ley was encouraging the rich to crush
the poor" For years men. not anarch-
lists. or breakers of the peace. have
been going about among US talking
that STUFF and were applauded by some.
Now. because some foolish fellow has
taken that talk seriously and knows
no better than to give it expression
now. he gets his sconce pounded. Is it
any worse TO say such things today
than It was week or a year ago2 And
It is not against President Mckinley
alone that this kind Of talk has been
directed But none of the others. at this
speaking. has been assassinated. When
one Of them Is. win some more credul-
Gus fools get their heads broken? The
fact is that people have become accus-

tai things which only such = crisis as
this brings into hideous relief. 1t is
time all took warning and guarded their
speech. conhning it to reasonable limits
and to facts This widespread and
wrathful arraignment Of classes and
political opponents ought to end Now
is the time to learn the lesson.

they held religious services in the court
house. In 1928 they built their first
brick church where the First Presby-
terian church now stands, on the cor.
ner of Garden and Sixth streets.
1. Eev. Gideon Blackburn organized
the church.

WINNING FAME AND FORTUNE.
Columbia Boy Winning High Laurels
In the Great and Growing West.

The Denver Illustrated Weekly, OF
Denver, Colorado, in a recent issue pays
high tribute to an old Columbia boy
who is winning high honors in the bust
ness world of the great West; Mr.. G. w
Martin, who is now the general western
agent Of the st. Louis and San Fran.
cisco Consolidated Railway Lines, with
headquarters in Denver.
Mr.. Martin was born in Columbia
He is the son OF Thomas G.. Martin, OF
Mt. Pleasant, and grandson of the late
A. M. Wingfeld, Of this place.
In the middle sos he served as private
secretary to Col. Ensley at the time he
was developing the great Alabama
mines. Mr.. Martin went from Memphis
to Little Rock in the latter part of the
sos, where he engaged 10 the cotton
business. He married daughter of
Judge Caldwell of the Arkansas Su-
preme Bench and shortly after his mar
rage vent with the Frisco railroad.
His rise has been rapid and his success
unusual.
The Illustrated Weekly reproduces
the portrait of Mr.. Martin and says:
"From this likeness the reader will
readil y discover that the gentleman pos
sesses most youthful appearance for
one filling such important and respon.
sible positions in the railway world.
When he started on his railway career a
few years ago he was very young in
years indeed, but what he lacked in
years was more than made good by his
keen intellect, grit and determination to
succeed; and also by the watchfulness
for the interests of his employers. A
Southerner by birth and early training,
he has ever had high regard for the
word of gentleman, and it is well
known fact that any statemt mt made by
Mr.. Martin will be found to be exactly
true, This trait has been the great SC
cret Of his success in life"

BIG OIL COMPANY.
Columbia Gentlemen Organize to Sink
Wells in Marshall County.
Charter for $40, 900 Will Be Taken
Out Have 1000 Acres to
Be Developed.

Several prominent Columbia gentle.
men have organized an oil company for
the purpose Of developing oil lands in
Marshall county which they have under
option. "he name of the company ia
the Duck River Valley Oil and Gas Co.
and the incorporators are: John ID.
Dobbins, f. j. Ewing, Robt. G. Ewing,
A. B. Rains, Will Ridley and W. j.
Howard.
The purposes OF the company are
more fully set out In the first paragraph
OF the charter, which is in part as fol
lows: That the company is constituted
as named above "for the purpose of
prospecting, devtkeping, buying and
selling oil and gas lands, and for the
sale of oil and gas chemicals and
erecting and operating oil refneries, and
also with the privilege of building q
branch railroad from some point on the
Duck River Valley Railroad to any oil
and gas property operated by this com
pany."
The company is capitalized at $50, 900,
with privilege of increasing same from
time to time as may be desired.
Mr. Robt. @. Ewing stated to a
Herald reporter that the new corpora
ton has about A, 900 acres of land in
Marshall county, which they intend
to develop right away. They expect
to be boring wells within the next
sixty days. There are already two gas
wells on the property.

The Ell lish "Society for the Prever-
ton of CONSUMPTION" presided over by
the Prince of Wales, was recently ad-
dressed by Sir William Broadbent, who
stated that it was definitely known that
every case OF consumption began with
germ communicated from some other
case. There 10 no such thing rs inner
tied consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consumption,
but the germ has absolutely to be plant
ed in that weak spot before consump-
ton can ensue. This ought to comfort
thousands of people who have "weak
chests" or "weak lungs" They are
not foreordain ed victims of this dread
disease. All that is needed 10 bid abso-
lutte defiance to this deadly scourge, is
to be able to strengthen the weak lungs,
and build up strong body. The an
swer to this need is found in DR..

Lovely Serenade.

Columbia was treated to fine sere-
made last Friday night by the canine
population of the town, and OF ali the
descendant music ever heard it was sent
out in the yells and barks and howls Of
the leather. lunged animals of the town
1t seemed that every dog in Maury
county was congregated down on the
square in contest to see which could
howl the loudest.
BY the way, what's the matter with
enforcing the dog law, anyhow If it's
not gong to be enforced let US know and
we'll cease wondering about it. Simply
because the law IS not being enforced in
other sections is no reason it should moi
be enforced here. AS long as it is or
the statutes of the State it is the law
and officers have no right to disregard
it.
A few more nights like last Friday
night and somebody will have to be
taken to the insane asylum.

Crap Shooters CAUGHT.

Sheriff Hight and Constable Goad
disturbed very interesting, game OF
craps at South Side Park Sunday
afternoon and caught dozen colored
sports engaged in the facinating game.
Everything was running along smoothly
without jar when suddenly the
officers lit into the scene DIS if they
had dropped out of the sky. One of
the dusty sports was putting forth
some very energetic efforts to roll out
a ''little joe and insisted ON being
permitted to finish his roll, but he
failed to ''pass. The negroes were
lodged in Jail until this morning,
when most of them secured their fines
and were released. The rest of them
will probably get on the chain gang il
they can't pay out, or give security.
