tory, the bishop thinks, and he espe
cially lauded Thomas a Beckett, whom
he considered the profoundest thinker
on all subjects of any man who evel
lived, and vet it was disgusting to hin
to have some of the whipper-snappe
historians of the present times sit il
Judgment over such men.
Thomas Beckett acted upon the doc
trnes of the Catholic church: that hu
man authority comes from God, is vest
ed in the individuals for the multitude
The bishop stated that during til,
reign of Alfred the Great, the principles
Of the Catholic church were inculcatet
into the government Of England
There was happiness and prosperity il
the days termed the middle ages, sucl
as has never been seen since. Liberty
education, art, music were the product.
Of those ages.
The bishop urged his hearers to be
come acquainted with this subject, an(
to read up on the matter before form
ing any opinion Of the status of affairs
in the Ozark Ages.'
The work of the Catholic church and
the good men connected with it during
the persecution in the Roman empire
had the stamp of God upon it. Had the
church been the work of man she neve,
would have survived, but being the
work of God, she lived and grew.
If she is divine she is Gods work
and il she is Gods work, she is truth
and if she is truth, it is the duty Of
all to love and recognize her.

therefore, shall we see the end of this

The archbishop's remarks were
made in reply to addresses from j
Washington Logue, president of the
Total Abstinence Union, and jerome n
Maher, president of the Literar!
Union. The latter said that three
fourths of the members of the societies
affiliated with the Literary Union are
total abstainers and he trusted that the
other fourth would likewise join the
ranks of the total abstainers before
the end of the present year.

British Civilization.

Lieutenant Morrison. of the Canadi-
an artillery, sends the Ottawa Citizen,
of which he is editor, the following de-
scription of British civilization in
South Africa:
Bright and early we marched off.
The Canadians, as usual, were in the
advanced guard, with the Fifth Ian
GERS and two pompoms. Colonel King
commanded the advance and General
Smith-Dorien the main body. During
the trek, which lasted four days, our
progress was like the old-time forays
in the Highlands of Scotland two cen
turtles ago.
'"Tle country is very like Scotland,
and we moved on from valley to valley,
lifting cattle and sheep, burning, loot,
ing and turning out the women and
children to sit and weep in despair and
utter misery beside the ruins of their
once beautiful farmsteads.

Describing the sacking of Dullstroon
he says:
THE troops were systematically
looking the place over. and as they got
quite through with each house they
burned it. Our Canadian boys helped
the women to get their furniture out
with much the same concern as they
would exhibit ut Il village fire at home
II they saw anything. however, they
particularly fancied they would likely
appropriate it. Other troops helped
the people out with their stuff by
heaving bureaus bodily through the
windows. putting pickaNes through

The rcciting of the above by the gift
ed lecturer in a voice tccming with elo-
quence, pathos, and passion, stirred
the crowded hall from end to end, and
the applause loud and prolonged, was
again and again repeated. And those
silent graves in Montorio have been,
and will be for ages to come, bond
of union stronger than steel, to bind
the heart Of Ireland to the great heart
of Rome (cheers). We can never for
get that when the Northern chiefs We're
driven by oppression from their native
land, when the king of France told
them to move on, when ever friendly
ana generous Spain was afraid to re-
ceivc them, it was the Pope Paul ",
who with open arms welcomed them
to his city of Rome, gave them palace
to dwell in and an income to live upon,
commanded his cardinals and mobiles to
pay them all honOrs due to princes who
had sacrificed everything for their
faith, and when the end came had
them buried with princely honors in
the beautiful church on st. Peters
Mount. We can never forget these
| things in Ireland, and it was thoughts
like these that brought the Irish pill
grims to visit the graves on MontOrio;
that made us give Il mightier shout Of
joy to see the Pope in st. Peters; that
have caused me to tell you here this
Ievening of those Irish graves in Rome.

F. E. Herring Shot by a Negro.


Word was received at Keytes-
vile Monday evening that Frank
E. Herring, a successful farmer
and stockman of Missouri town
ship, had been shot late that af-
ternoon by Dud Wilson, negro,
not far from Wilson's home, near
Cazzell.
The trouble which led to the
tragedy, as nearly as we have
been able to learn. was as follows:
Some five months ago Mr..
Herring bought hog from Will
son and gave him check for
S19 in payment therefor. Wilson
subsequently told Mr.. Herring
that he (Wilson) had lost the
check and wanted Mr.. Herring
to pay for the hog again, which
Mr.. Herring refused to do unless
Wilson could secure him against
the first check being presented at
the bank for payment.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Herring
passed Wilson's house, when
Wilson hailed him and again ask
ed him what he was going to do
about that check. Mr.. Herring
told Wilson that he (Herring)
still stood by what he previously
told him he would do. This did not
suit Wilson, and after a few hot
words had passed between him
and Mr.. Herring, Mr.. Herring
began to get out of the buggy and
Wilson drew a murderous-look-
ing knife and started toward the
buggy in which Herring was. Mr..
Herring drew his knife and got
out of the buggy. Then Wilson
picked up club, and Mr.. Herring
grabbed up fence rail with
which he intended to brain
Wilson, but who at once beat
hasty retreat.
Mr.. Herring then got back into
his buggy to resume his journey
home, Wilson having run into
his house. Mr.. Herring had not
gone far before the contents of
shotgun, fired by Wilson, crash
ed through the rear of his buggy
top and 13 No. 6 shot struck Mr..
Herring in the back and left
shoulder, seven or eight took ef-
feet in the back of the head and
neck, while two of the leaden
missiles found lodgment in the
left cheek. A considerable por-
ton of the deltoid muscle of the
left arm was also torn away.
Mr.. Herring drove on home
and got one of his neighbors,
John A. Coll, to accompany him
to Dalton where DR.. A. S. Tai
bott dressed his wounds, which,
while painful, are not considered
dangerous unless blood poison or
other complications should set
up.
A warrant was sworn out be-
fore Justice LIE Roy N. Davis of
Dalton for Wilson's arrest, and
placed in the hands of Sheriff
Veatch to serve, but the man
wanted left for parts unknown
before Sheriff Veatch could ar
rest him, and is still at large up
to the hour of going to press.

and cruel crimes, if done mali
ciously, which the accused de-
nies, that ever happened in this
vicinity occurred last Sunday
night, about three miles south of
Keytesville, when Anthony Mich
OILS, negro man about 30 years
old, who is blind in one eye and
almost SO in the other, was set on
fire, after first having been made
beastly drunk, on the premises
of Neal Hayes, COL, who lives on
Gen. E. w. Prices farm. Mich
OILS was frightfully burned along
the entire length of the left arm
and along the left side, and the
chances for his recovery are re-
garded as very neager. Martin
Heryford, COL, half brother to
Nichols, came to Keytesville
Tuesday morning and filed infor-
nation with Prosecuting Attor-
ney L. N. Dempsey, charging
Herman Mcfarland, young
white man of the neighborhood,
with having set Nichols on fire.
A warrant was issued by Justice
VIM. P. Jared and turned over
to Constable L. A. Embree, who
arrested Mcfarland Tuesday af-
ternoon. On being taken before
Justice Jared the defendant at
once waived formal arraign-
ment, pleaded not guilty and
gave bond in the sum of 5000,
with his father, j. j. Mcfarland,
as security, to appear for trial
next Wednesday, August 21.
Mcfarland claims, we UNDER
stand, that he and another young
white man, by the name of John
Finnell, and the negroes were all
on drunk, and that he (McFar-
land) had lost some papers out
of his pocket and went to Hayes
house to get some matches to use
in looking for his lost papers.
1t seems that he made two trips
to the house for matches, only
having gotten two the first time.
After the second trip Mcfarland
rushed back to the house to get
a bucket of water and said that
cold Anthony" was on fire.
Mcfarland vehemently vows that
if cold Anthony was set on fire
from any Of the matches that he
(McFarland) had struck, he cold
Anthony'') must have rolled over
into some dry grass or paper that
had been set ablaze oy one of
the matches. On the other hand
the state claims that it will be
able to prove that Mcfarland
had threatened to kill Nichols.
All of the facts will not likely be
developed until the trial takes
place. Nichols wife died about
year ago, but he has several
children.
