Interesting if True.

Twenty-Five years ago Czolgosz's
father was one of II men who killed
Henry Molitor, the illegitimate son of
the crazy King of Wurtemburg, in
Presque Isle county, Michigan. Moli-
tor had organized company in the
lumber region and ruled the section
like king. He was cruel tyrant,
who respected neither man nor wo-
man. He became SO bad that So
called jury decided to kill him. He
was shot in his store.
Moo was punished until nine years
ago, when Czolgosz and four others
gave states evidence, and the re-
mainder were sent to the Jackson pen
itentiary.

Gneved Over McKinIey's Death.

LAPoRTE, Ind, Sept, 27-Caleb
Harvey, an old and wealthy resident
of this city, died here yesterday as the
direct result of grieving over the
assassination and death of President
Mckinley.
The physicians who attended Har-
vey say that he literally cried himself
to death. He wept for hours contin-
uously from the afternoon the presi-
dent was shot, and while in these
paroxysms of grief his suffering was
intense.
1t was found impossible to control
or assuage his grief, and up to the
hour of his dissolution he walled con-
stantly. Mr.. Harvey was an ardent
admirer of Mckinley. The physicians
consider the case without precedent.

A Beautiful Reception.

The prettiest reception in many a
moon was that given by the Misses
Yockey, in honor of Mrs. Frank Nc
Farland, of Denver, Colo.
The parlor and living rooms were
tastefully decorated in red, while the
DINING room was deliberately carried
out in pink. The bevy of pretty girls
in their dainty gowns, looked most
bewildering under the soft glow of the
shaded lights and candelabras.
Mrs. John Yockey, GOT Denver, COL,
joined the Misses Brown aud Oglesbee
serving. Miss Everly presided at the
punch bowl, and Misses Altman, Smith
and Woodward assisted in receiving.
Mrs. Thornberry sang in her usual
ly sweet way and Misses Cleveland,
Smith and Hoham played, making all
the success it was.

MURDER
and THE STOCK MARKET
(Henrv Clews in Financial weekl,

Henry Clews in Financial Weekly
The country has passed through
the shock of President McKinley's
assassination with wonderful degree
of composure. In both political and
business circles the blow has been met
with an exhibition of fortitude that
reflects the highest credit upon the
American people.
Sad as the event has been, President
McKinley's martrydom has proven
and strengthened the solidarity of the
American people. 1t has aroused and
brought together the conservative
forces of the country which too often
lie dormant in times of public dangers:
it has softened political animosities,
and it has shown the folly of that
weak liberation which permits the un-
limited abuse of liberty.
Perhaps nothing has contributed
more towards the preservation of con-
fidence than President Roosevelt IS
frank and positive statement that he
would faithfully continue the policy
of Mr.. Mckinley. Our new president
has been before the public gaze for the
last few years almost as prominently
as Mr.. McKinley.himself. His strong
and weak points were well known to
everyone. No one doubted his great
courage and integrity: and no one can
now doubt that he fully realizes his
grave responsibilities. There is every
reason to believe that President
Roosevelt will satisfactorily fill bis
great Office, and that the adminiStra-
tion will work with him on the same
high plane as under his illuStrious
predecessor.
Happily Secretaries Hay and Gage
will remain i'm office to work out the
policies already adopted. Talk OF
panic was sheer folly, because there
never was material for a panic, either
in political, financial or business Cir
cles. The shock of assassination was
strictly a moral shock and never haG
at any time any real connection with
our material welfare.

Biz Forest To Be Planted.

State Forester Freeman, together
with George L. Clothier, of the United
States Bureau of Foresty, has COM
pleted plans for the planting of a
A, 10O-acre forest in the Kankakee
bottoms. The land is owned by a
Chicago capitalist.
1t will be the first forest in Indiana
to be planted under the direction of
the state forestry bureau. Some of
the A 100 acres is already under tim
Der, and the largest efforts will be
exerted in the low land. The land is
close to the river and this will be of
great aid in the work of establishing
forest.

Farm Bulletin Boards.

A farm bulletin board is a novelty
in this locality, that recently put up
by G. L. Mattingly on his Muckshaw
farm probably being the first in the
county. 1t is a small and substantial
blackboard posted conspicuously on
the road, on which want and for
sale items are written in chalk. 1t is
successful plan, for every passer
reads it. 1t will usually secure a
hired man or girl, or an animal or
article that may be needed: it will
sell COW or calf, seed potatoes or
cabbage plants, pure-bred pigs or
brood sows, and it will promote any
little deal the farmer may wish to
mako

CZOLGOSZ WILL DIE
blu, HIS TEMPTERS LIVE
Chicago Inter Ocean,


The collapse of Czolgosz upon his
last appearance in court was evident
to all beholders. When asked if he
had any reason to advance why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him
he could give none. He lacked even
the strength to excuse his crime. He
showed only the trapped animals fear
of death.
This man, who but a few weeks ago
had nerved himself TO a hideouS crime,
who had had the will to perform it,
and had gathered the resolution to
face certain death for it. thus sudden
ly became creature utterly incap-
able of concentrated thought or deed.
And why? Simply because he was at
last alone-without sympathy, sup
port, or encouragement.
The highly respectable citizens who
had told him from the platform and
in the newspapers for nearly three
years that William Mckinley was
''czar," an emperor, an "oppreS-
sor, +" a "tyrant," butcher" had
fled from him iu terror.
The moral reformers who had de-
scribed to him the President of the
| United States as civilian of JOlO,
with his canteenS and slaves and wines
and concubineS," had hushed their
clatter and stolen away into hiding.
The degenerate journalists who had
assured him that he was dOwn-trod-
den slave, and that William Mckinley
was but the dirty tool of his cruel
master, has secured from his view and
clothed themselves in silence.
They all were gone-those who had
drawn the pictures to fire his fanatic
ism, those who had uttered the de-
nunciations to dispel his torpor, those
who had piled the lash of hate tC
rouse his etermlnatlOn-theya all were
gone and he was left alone-alOne and
as he was before they touched him and
moved him.
And SO, in his isolation, he became
his natural self again-a creature toe
weak, too craven to speak or stride.
Without others to support and en-
courage him, his real character was
plain. He stood before all the world
as the feeblest of men.
The assassin goes to his death alone
and the others remain to be remem.
bered. And when he dies they are
still to be remembered, not only fol
what they have done, but also fol
what they are.

AMAsA JOHNSON
Death Ends His Sufferinss Friday After
Long Illness.

4
at about 1 O'Clock after long illness
with cancer of the liver. The funeral
was held at the Johnson home SUM-
day at p. M, Rev. Mckenzie of the
NJ. E. church officiating. The in
terment was at Oak Hill.
Deceased was the son of Rev. James
johnson, prominent Methodist
preacher of Indiana, who died about
seven years ago. His great grand
father was a pioneer of Kentucky in
the days of Boone and Kenton.
Amasa' IS grandfather was captured by
the Indians when he was twelve years
old and with his brother two years
younger was taken across the Ohio
river into the wilderness more than
hundred miles from the settlements.
The band having run out of provi-
sions, two Indians were left to guard
the boys while the other Indians went
in search Of game. Night came on,
the boys were tied and the Indians
lay down to sleep. About midnight
the elder boy succeeded in freeing
himself from the cords that bound
him. He quietly cut the thongs
that bound his brother, and they got
possession of the Indians guns.
Standing within few feet of the
sleeping Indians both took aim and at
a given signal fired, both shots were
effective and after few struggles the
Indians were dead, and the boys sue
ceeded in reaching home five days
later. Coming from such stock the
bravery and endurance of Amasa
Johnson, whose form was always
slender, can be well understood.
Captain Johnson grew to manhood
in Putnam County, Indiana, studied
law, was admitted to the bar and
came to Plymouth in 1858. In 1861
he enlisted In Co. ID, Ninth Indiana
Infantry, was chosen captain and
served until the close of the war. He
was in all the hard fought battles
and long marches of that famous reg
iment, and no soldier left the army
with better record than his.
After returning home he married
Miss Adelia Sherman, daughter of DR..
n. Sherman of this city. To this
union were born four children, all Of
whom are living. They are Mrs. Ida
Jost, of Seattle, Washington, Mrs.
Carrie Baker, of Fort Wayne, Ind,
Mrs. Edith Seward and Sherman
Johnson of this city. His wife and
one sister also survive.
Captain Johnson was one of the
most prominent real estate lawyers o.
northern Indiana. He was man of
sterling integrity and had hosts of
friends. He was joint representative
of Marshall and st. Joseph counties in
the legislature of 1869, was three
times mayorOf Plymouth, was men,
Der of the city council and was never
defeated when candidate for Office.
He was for more THAI forty years a
prominent member of the Methodist
church of this city.
Two months ago he was seemingly
overcome with heat while at work in
his office; liver and kidney trouble set
in and all the efforts Of his physicians,
family and friends were unavailing
He was taken to st. Joseph hospital
at Fort Wayne Monday, August 20,
but at the end of week the physi-
clans decided that there was no hope
for him and he came home to die.

We closed a seventeen days meet
ing at the Baptist Church on Tues
day night. Rev. Ross Moore, of
Highland-evenue Baptist Church,
Jackson, Tenn, did the preaching
most acceptably. The meeting
grew in interest from the beginning
and on the last day and night SER
vices the attendance was larger than
al any former ones, except on Sun
day. The majority of active Chris
tians in Bolivar engaged heartily in
these meetings. The noble women,
especially, were untiring in this
work. Three servi 3es day were
held, and sometimes four. There
were seventeen professions of faith,
ana many church members greatly
strengthened. Eternity alone will
reveal the good that has been ac-
complished in Jesus name. As a
token of high esteem and apprecia-
ton our people felt for Bro. Moore's
services, purse of over fifty dol
lars, and the hand-grasps of the con-
gregation were rendered him on his
departure, with the universal wish
for his return in the future.

IN MEMORIAM ROBERT III. WOOD.

IN MEMORIAM ROBERT IL. WOOD.
The length of human life is but
very little thing in the time that
goes on forever and always. Yet
every human life has its own place
and influence. 1t has it's own de-
velopment for self. and it's contribu-
ton for others. The man who uses
the short time allotted him to con-
troll and conquer what may be the
worst of himself, and to elevate and
develop the best of himself, and at
the same time realizes and utilities
his capacity and opportunity to aid
in the similar work of his fellows,
does his duty to God and his duty
to his neighbors and in doing
these he is fulfilling the destiny
that is ready for him, as for all
men, and is beginning his life eter-
nal.
1t is a noble record of human
life when it leaves at It's close the
earnest and sincere good words of
those who best knew it, together
with the fragrance of tender recol-
lection, and ennobling example, to
those among whom it was spent.
But few men leave behind them,
when they depart this life here to
enter into their life and work here
after, record among their fellows
so replete with benediction and so
free from adverse comment as Rob-
ert III. Wood. Those who knew
him best understood him we'll and
appreciated what he was, and his
neighbors of life time are the best
witnesses to his value as man and
citizen. Quiet, self-controlled, I'M
ambitious, faithful, he had no aspi-
rations or desire for place or posi-
ton, but was content in the endeav-
or to do his full duty in life where
it had pleased God to call him.
He was prominent in his chosen
profession, and his reputation we'll
established among his brethren who
honored him. He was equally so
as a citizen, having the unreserved
and entire confidence and esteem of
all around him.
Sympathetic and helpful, wise
and prudent, all people trusted him,
all respected and esteemed him, all
mourn him; and in this county of
Hardeman, where he made his home
and from which he has gone before
US, his going leaves an ample wealth
of sincere sorrow, and of tender re-
greet. and golden memory.

I married again, his profession after
the death of his devoted wife, being
the object of his chief attention

true religious convictions and a
Jealous member of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church. He was elected twice a

and served in the sessions of 1858
and 1855. After this he eschewed
politics and was ne.e r a candidate
for Office though his popularity was
unbouuded When the war be-
tween the states was on he espous-
ed the cause of the South and raised
Company of Infantry and served
conspiciously in the same. With
him right and duty were watch
words and be nobly did these i'll all
of his affairs of life. On June %,

honored by all who knew him.
