bridge, 1t was evident that a crime
had been committed, asthe mans skull
was broken in, several places and the
body was weighted down in the water
by several heavy stones. At first it,
was thought that the body had been
in the water a month or more, but it
was finally identified al the body Of
August Holm, who came from Mon
and was looking for work through

a wagon and when these were found

and finally confessed that he had killed,
Holm, but claimed that the killing was
done in self defense, He said he had

team and that Holm tam His place

the scrimmage, Vail secured the gun.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Boys See Big Snake

Snake stories, whether local or for
eign, are sure to be read. There is a
fascination about anything pertaining
to snakes that is irresistible. and few
are proof against this charm
1t has come to the Wayfarer's knowl-
edge that there are some big snakes
near Wilmington in land adiacsnt to
Shellpot Park. 1t is said thas there
aie several big blacksnakes in 1'alley's
woods and on Wcbster's land that
have been terror to hunters and boys
for several years. These serpents
must be big. for all reports of them
bear cut that fact. and cae Of the rea-
sons that the Wayfarcr places some
crcdenco in the latest report is because
it comes from presumably truth-telling
boys. and not from someone who is
liable TO see snakes crawling upon the
wall or writhing about the posts OF his
bed with fiery eyes and darting
tongues
The boys were picking wild berries
in the Webster tract when they dis
turbed a big black snake that sent
them scamporing i'm all directions
The hoys declare that the snake was
almost as long as two panels of post
and rail fence
The boys bad enough berries and

The decision of the managers OF the
Camden Campmecting Association TO
have no gathering this year. is ihdica-
tive of the fact so generally known that
this agency OF religious awakening Is
.ranidly becoming a thing cf the past.
In former years, particularly in the
Southern and Middle States. the camp
meeting was a great cvangelizug force.
and pastors looked forward 10 the sea-
son spent under the trees as period
for a renewal OF religious zeal, and for
adding new members TO the church.
In late years these gatherings, from a
religious standpoint Of view. have been
almost failures. Many clergymen have
declared against their continuance, be-
lieving that they are attended by some
influences not beneficial, while Il Is al
most impossible TO attract the serious
attention to subjects Of a religious ma

The modern campmeeting. whatever
the old may have been. has become a

every opportunity for the young people
TO engage in flirtations and wher,

motive for the attitude of the Index in
the last campaign.
But there Is one thing we cannct un-
derstand, how 50 many sound-money
men who constitute the brains Of
the party, could openly advocate every
idea which was utterly repugnant TO
their commcn-sense. How could speak
ers advocate measures on the stump
which their friends knew they
depudiated in their hearts? How
could newspapers become the advocate
of theories which they were determined
TO repudiate should defeat ensure?
This brings us around to the other
side Of the question; suppose Bryan
had been elected. what would have
been the course OF these men and those
papers? That would not have affected
principles, nor have made his ideas any
more sane. All, after all. there is a
tendency TO worship success! A kick
for the man going down hill. is always
ready. Mr.. Bryan made his mistake, and
lost his following by being defeated:
an election would have meant the con
tinucd allegiance of every one Of them.
In all probability it would have com
manded the continued loyalty OF the
Index.

THE REVOLT IN OHIO

The bolt in Ohio is but a forerunner
of what may be expected to take place
in other States and in the next nation
al campaign. Mr. Bryan is not the man
TO surrender without struggle, and IL
may be confidently expected that he
will muster a considerable following.
The Bryan wing of the party and By
this is not meant those voters who sup
ported Mr.. Bryan on the ground of
party regularity, unless every indication
fails, will be a party unto itself. and
the present inception of the movement
in Ohio may be taken as the initial
step in the formation OF a new PARTY
with Mr. Bryan as its leader.
II Is better that this is SO. The ideas
Of Mr.. Bryan, on some Of the more i'm
portant public questions have not met
nor will they meet with approval by q
majority Of the American people Tn,
Democratic party has everything Il
gain and nothing to lose in a contest
with Mr. Bryan. He has proved him

NEW SPAPER OPINION
More BlIIs Paid


From the Middletown Transcript,
The Levy Court Of New Castle
county en- Tuesday paid about $4,000
worth of bills. but had no money for
the Trustees of the Poor to pay the
tradesmen who have been feeding and
clcJling the county's poor for the past
nine months. Among the items paia
was ora of $1,000 to j. & J. N. Har-
man for refurnishing the court room.
Much surprise was expressed at the
size of this bill, but no cne seemed to
have the right to raise objection even
II the law does require that In all
matters involving an expenditure of
$500 or more advertisement shall be
made and the contract awarded to the
lowest and the best bidder. One thing
the county is to be congratulated upon
is that all bills are now read in open
court and thus the people can see who
gets their money even though they can
not tell what It is expended for. For
this much we are duly thankful.
