ing to the hymn, Nearer, Ny God. to

music, which were published for the
first time in Charles Fox's collection
of hymns and anthems. Mrs. Adams
was the daughter of an English
writer and editor.

Every boy and girl in the land
would do well to treasure the re-
marks of former President Cleveland,
when, in paying his tribute to the
memory of President Mckinley, he
said: HE was never ashamed to fol-
low the teachings of his mother" We
realize that not all boys and girls
have a mothers guidance, and here
and there may be found mother
whose influence is not good, but in
the main the lessons taught by our
mothers are worth making the foun-
dation for a whole life's action.

1t must have struck many persons
in conversations about the president
that there is need for an understand
ing as to how Mr.. Roosevelt's name is
pronounced. The variety of pronun-
citation ranges from "Roos-ey-velt" to
''Rooz-velt' and 'sRozy-felt." The most
popular usage seems to be 'Roos-
felt If the name is to be pro-
nounced, however, according to the
analogy of similar Dutch names, the
correct pronunciation is Roosevelt"
with the so" sounded as in no" In
fact, this is the way, it is said, in
which Roosevelt pronounces it.

FROM WASHINGTON.

At the naval inquiry in Washing
ton proof was brought out that
Schley was kept in ignorance con-
corning important matters.
At the age of 20 years John George
Nicolay, private secretary to Presi-
dent Lincoln, died in Washington.
A letter was read in the Schley
court of inquiry from Admiral Samp-
son, asking that Messrs. Stayton and
Campbell be allowed to represent him
in the case. The court decided that
they could not appear.
Secretary Roots continued illness
is causing his friends great uneasi-
ness. His physicians may order him
to stop all work, which would neces-
state his leaving the cabinet. In this
case several other changes in that
body may be made.
The proof so far brought out in the
Schley inquiry has developed nothing
which could convict the admiral of
anything worse than an error of
Judgment.
The president summoned Booker L.
Washington into conference regarding
conditions in the south.

In one respect, at least, the Cool

Judges and lawyers all over the coun-

foolish inquiries as to whether the

heard of the prisoner or his crime,

still both sides worked hard for their
tickets. The Republicans early in:the day
commenced spending tho $4,000 sent up
from Denver, and expected that with such
. corruption fund they would be able to
carry the county. The Fusionists looked
dubious at first but finally got to work
and made things count. The Rspubli-
cans appeared to be centering their
strength against both Updegran for
clerk and recorder, and Cody for sheriff,
and it Was their greatest ambition to de-
feat those two men. but the individual
popularity Of these two candidates wss
more than the money Of the Republicans.
Trezise had only small majority over
Morgan. and Murley beat Thompson
with a good majority. Ashbaugh had
the largest majority OF any one running.

the smallest in No. IL, Pine Creek, only
