The jefferson Davis Monument Fund.

The United Daughters of the
G onfederacy have undertaken the
duty of raising funds for the erec-
ton of a monument to our honored
Confederate Chieftain, Jefferson
Davis. It is q duty we owe to our
ex- President who suffered for the
Cause, a duty to the people, a duty
to ourselves, and a duty to pos
terity. Every Veteran of the Con-
federate army should respond with
his mite, and the sons of veterans
should show their appreciation for
the cause for which their fathers
fought. President Davis suffered
as no other Confederate leader
suffered. He was imprisoned for
two years after the surrender OF
the Confederate forces, and sub
iected to the most humiliating and
brutal treatment that protested
civilized government ever infaict-
ed upon q prisoner. For this
reason, alone, if for no other, we
should erect q monument to our
martyr leader. Furthermore, we
should show to the world, by COM
memorating his name, that he is
beloved by the people, and that
though he has passed away, we
have not forgotten his heroism and
martyrdom for the Lost Cause.
The South has no government
to erect monuments to our late
leaders. The work must be done
by individual contributions, ane
this is Why we appeal to the Com
federate Veterans tocoatribute t.
this monument fund. We hava
comparatively few public spirited
millionaires in the South, and w
need not look to them for aid
because patriotism and capitalist
are comparative strangers.
In addition to the contribution
of one dollar from each Confede
rate Veteran, we may suggest tina
entertainments be had for tn
benefit of the fund, and that Oh
various local Chapters unite i
requesting some of the lecturer
of the South, to deliver eours
of lectures in the principal catie
for the benefit of the fund Tt
subject selected might be reaatz
to ex-President Davis, touchin
upon the hardships he endure
for the Southern people, and con
memorative of his noble al
heroic life.

FGR PERSONAL INJURIES
His Attorneys Compromised
With Railroad for So 300. Is.

Guthrie, o. T. Aug. 3-Final dispos,-
tion has just been made of one OF the
most closely contested damage suits
tried in the courts of the territory. The
case originated in the latter part Of lS9s.
when Ford Marks. Of MuIhall, sustained
a broken leg ond other injuries. 1t seems
that Marks. in company with Mrs. Kin
caid. was riding alongside the Santa Fe
: his vehicle. Witho II warning. the
engineer blew his whistle. making rapid
and repeated blasts. which frightened
the horse. and caused him to run OF.
throw Marks out and injure him as sta
ted. He sued the company for damages.
The case was OF an unusual character.
and presented some novel questions. A
verdict being rendered in Marks favor for
damages, the company appealed 10 the
supreme court, where at the last July
term the Judgment was unanimously az
hrmed- The case has just been closed by
the company paying TO Cotteral & Hor-
nor, Mr. Marks attorneys, OF Guthrie
the amount OF the damages, SS.Ss.25. and
settling the costs.
