Mr.. Carver's Statement.

Willard Carver, one of the prin-
cipals in the court house melee of
Saturday morning says his position
was misrepresented in the published
statements.
According to his story some men
were standing at the court house
door discussing, not the death of
President Mckinley, butwhat should
be done with his assassin. Just at this
time he came by, hearing the subj ect
Of the talk and seeing some of his
friends stopped to listen. Mr.. Hensyl
was not there at that time but arrived
later. Some men were asserting that
no death was too cruel for the
assassin. Carver said, 1--WE are facl
ing a great crisis; that we hold our
selves out to the world as the most
enlightened and Christian people and
nation and that all eyes would be
upon us to see how we met this great
calamity"
At this the gentleman who had been
making the assertions that violence
should be done the person of the
assassin began to attack Carver, and
accused him of defending Czolgosz.
Mr.. Carver said he "Was not talking
about the assassin but how we should
act towards him, that as to what
should be done with him that lay
wholly with the courts of New York
10 their administration of the laws in
force at the time the deed was DONE"
Some one then said, you would pro-
tect the assassin against a mob
wouldn't you?n Carver replied 81 ana
! always for peace and obedience to
law, and in so far as / am able L
would protect any human being from
mob violence" Jake spates at this
iuncture told Carver, "that he could
lick him and wanted to lick him. y
Jack Hensyl then put Spates' threat
into operation and struck at Carver.
A melee followed. and Mr.. Carver
says he was not hit, except on the
arms and did not strike back only to
] defend himself.

OFF TO CONFERENCE
Rev. Somerville Goes to Newton
With Light Heart.

Rev. ]. w. Somerville leaves to-
morrow for Newton to attend the an
nual meeting of the Iowa Conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal church.
Dir. somerville goes, in as happy a
mood as possesses the school boy with
clean new slate, because all the debt
on Central church has been paid or
provided for. During the year the
great sum Of S26, 900 has been raised,
principally by subscription, among
the 700 members of the church. The
only part not paid in this way was
the s., 600 realized in the sale of the
old Simpson church property. Of
the total sum ST, 900 has been applied
on the church debt, which leaves only
$4,000 outstanding, and this is secured
by good notes. The current expenses
of the church amounted to $4,000, and
$1,000 has been subscribed for beneY-
olences. On Sunday morning about
$500 of the current expenses had not
been paid. Mr.. Somerville presented
the matter to the congregation and
the sum was readily provided for.
The best of feeling exists between the
members and the pastor, and the re-
markable financial showing is in a
great measure due to the popularity
and the hard and earnest work of
Mr.. Somerville. The Conference will
be asked by a unanimous vote of
church members to return Mr.. Som
erville to Oskaloosa, and the senti-
ment of the people in general will be
with the members in this vote.

Tribute 90 President Mckinney by Phil
KeRTney Post.

IA tribute of love and respect by
Phil Kearney Post, G. A. r., of Osk-
loosa, Iowa, to the memory of Com
rade William Mckinley, who was
born at Niles, Trumbull County,
Ohio, January 30, 1913, and died at
Buffalo, New York, September ID,
1901, from the effects of wounds re-
ceived at the hands of an anarchist,
while visiting the Pan American Elk
position at Buffalo, Sept. @, 1901.
With bitter grief and sorrow we
bow in submission to the Great
Father of all on the tragic and un-
timely death-as 1t appears to our
mortal vision-of our we'll beloved
Comrade William Mckinley, Presi-
dent of the United States. Although
we deeply deplore and mourn bis
death, by the hands of an anarchist
assassin, yet, in the language of the
dying words of our departed Com
rade, we reverently and submissively
say: ut is Gods way. His will be
done; not ours"
At the same time, however, we
urge the sovereign people, who are
loyal to law and good government, to
take the necessary steps to stamp
out and rid our country of anarchy
and anarchists, and we dedicate our
selves anew to the service of our
country to help save 1t from the
hands Of anarchy and anarchists.
The safety of the nation requires
that the people shall be taught that
law must be respected and obeyed by
all, the humblest and highest alike,
Swift justice under law, should be
melted out to all who violate the law.
And now may the rich blessings OF
the God OF our Fathers descend up
on, abide anu comfort, his stricken
wife and all the people of our beloved
country, is he united prayer of all
the members of this Post OF the
Grand Army of the Republic.

Attempted Rurgluries.

Shortly after midnight Sunday
morning Night Watchman Sam
Merry discovered some one in
the Druecker store lighting
match. Supposing it was one of
the Druecker boys he called out
to him, and the man Immediately
ran for the rear of the building
and escaped before Merry could
get around the block to the back
door. An iron CRATE had been
lifted from the basement window
and entrance into the cellar and
back room Of the store thus eff
fected, and the fastenings on the
door leading to the store proper
were broken.
On Wednesday morning again
an attempt was made to get into
the post office. The would be
burglars broke in the thick plate
glass in the door on the south
side of the building. The night
Watchman heard the crash Of the
breaking glass and ran up the
alley to third avenue, where he
was fired upon twice by one Of
the burglars, one of the shots
striking him on the hand and in
| flicting a flesh wound. He in re-
turn fired two shots at retreat
ing form, but probably without
effect. The firing soon brought
assistance to the spot, where a
large iron wrench was found,
which the burglar had used to
break the window after it had
been tapped around.

G.. A. sa. Resolutions.

At regular meeting Of Gen.
A. A. Humphrey Post, G.. A. r.,
held on Thursday, Sept. 10, the
following resolutions We're pas
sed:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to permit the removal OF our
comrade, William Mckinley, presi-
dent of the United States, by the hand
of an assassin, we lose one near and
dear to us: one who served with us in
the ranks and knew we'll what it meant
to be soldier and to follow Old
Glory to victory: one who was an
honest and upright citizen and soldier,
our chief magistrate, commandment
chief. and a most noble executive;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we consider this
foul act direct blow at free govern
ment, law and order, and while we up
hold free speech, we are opposed TO
that license which borders on treason
and disloy atty.
Resolved, That we as members OF
Gen. A. A. Humphrey Post, No. =,
G. A. r.. of South Dakota, mourn
| with the nation and with the world IL
general, the loss of our comrade and
president. That we bow in humility
to the divine will Of our Heavenly
Master and say, sThy will, not ours
be done.'' That we drape our charter
| in mourning for thirty days, and ex-
tend to the bereaved wife and family
| our deepest sympathy.

The Memorial Services.

The service held at the M E,
church last Sunday evening in
memory of President Mckinley,
was largely attended by citizens
generally, the church being filled
to it's seating capacity. After a
short service of song the pastor
presented Mr.. N. |. Lowthian,
who spoke of the presidents
soldier life, from the time he en-
listed when a mere boy, as a
private, securing promotion in
active service until he became a
major, and in civil life until he
became commanderin- chief of
the army and navy. Mr.. Low
THAN was followed by Mr.. Thos.
L. Bouck, who paid a glowing
tribute to the craftsmanship OF
Mckinley, stating that however
men might have differed with
him on theories of political
economy, his honesty OF purpose
was never questioned; the
splendid manner in which he
brought the ship of state into
prosperous waters when he was
placed at the helm, and the
wisdom of his Philippine policy,
now hardly questioned by any
one, placed him as a statesman
of the highest ability. Mr.. Thad
L. Fuller followed Mr.. Bouck,
giving a glowing description OF
Mckinley as an orator, and
quoted freely Of short paragraphs
from his speeches, showing the
beauty and clearness OF the
sentiments expressed, and the
earnestness Of the orator in his
advocacy Of principles, refer
ring particularly to that last
speech at Buffalo, wherein the
president pleaded the glories of
peaceful trade; which has been
left us as masterpiece and
index to further action. The
closing address was given Dy
Mr.. Downie, and touched upon
the life Of the late president as a
man, a citizen and d Christian,
and tended to show that his
wonderfully successful career
as soldier, statesman and chief
executive was due us much to
the moral qualities of the man,
his sturdy religious character,
purity Of life, and genial quail
ties of heart and mind, as 10 his
intellectual greatnes The
whole service was particularly
appropriate and impressive and
the large congregation remained
interested to the last and par
ticipated in the spirit of the
occasion.
