DRAGGED TO HIS DEATH.
Thomas. the Adopted Son Of John
and Mrs Pugh Met Death
Monday Night.
BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED
Horse Caught 0sly After . Chase Of Two
Miles Over Rocky Road and
Throurh Two Wire Fences.

Thomas Pugh the seven year ole
nephew Of John Pugh and wife living
a mile and half east of Nezperce
met his end on last Monday even
ing by being dragged TO death
by horse. The little fellow had
taken a horse to the we'll TO water
and il is thought that he thoughtless-
ly tied the halter rope around his neck
while he pumped water for the an
imai. The facts leading up TO the
tragedy viii never be known as he
was alone al the time the accident
happened. The first news of the
tragedy was obtained by Henry
Billows and neighbor boy, who we're
coming into town. II was just about
dusk when they observed a runaway
horse with something dragging from
the end of the halter rope approach
ing. which on closer coming Of the
animal proved TO be child being
dragged by the neck. They imme-
diately turned and pursued the fee
ing animal in the hopes Of catching
il in time to save the boys bcdg
from further mutilaiion. as il was
evidcn, that he was lifeless. After
pursuing the animal about a mile
they with the assistance of others
succeeded in catching il. Upon
examination Of the body il was found
that the top part OF the head was en-
tirely gone and that the little body
was beaten almost into a jelly by
the hoots OF the horse and the coming
into contact with the rough and stony
ground over which il had been 4
dragged in the animals mad fight. |
The rope was securely tied around
the child's neck and the pulling upon !
!, by the trunk had almost severed /
the head from the body. A deep /
cash was also cut in the child's
shoulder and breast exposing the |
lungs and cavity Of the chest. The
body was brought TO town and taken
10 Mockler g. Millers' undertaking
oarlors where il was prepared for
burial. /
The funeral took place on Tues
lay afternoon from the Dunkard
,hurch and was largely attended.
The sermon was preached by the
Reverend Johnson. The body was
in the city cemetery at the
conclusion of the services.

WOULD WIN A DEMOCRAT.

Times Republican,: l. with others,
would like TO pay tribute to the fitness
of our townsman, N. S. Ketchum for
railroad commissioner. l have known
Mr.. Ketchum intimately since 1865
Since that time, and for many years, in
a competitive business. 1 worked on
the road for the ketchum Wagon Com
pany when he was the head Of that
concern, and know the vast experience
he has had in the transportation bust
ness, which, with his good, cool judg-
ment, fits him admirably we'll for that
place. 1t occurs to me there is no man
in Iowa more naturally and practically
fitted and schooled for the position of
doing justice to the masses. and at the
same time dealing equitably with the
great corporations of our state. AS an
old republican, one who helped make
the party, and one who has not voted
the republican ticket since 1876. T
would regard 1t a pleasure to support
Mr.. Ketchum for railroad commission
er November next. Respectfully

When man. who has been chummv
with another man as q boy in school,
finds himself in the same city with the
latter, who has, since last they met, be-
come famous the world over, he hest
tates about calling upon that famous
man for fear he may not be the same
in feeling and attitude as he used to
be. He wishes some accident may oc-
cur to throw them together This
wished and this is what occurred. We
met accidentally in a store and the
recognition was mutual and instantan-
eous. Those of you who have read the
books OF the talented author Will be
glad to know that he is one of the most
lovabe characters one could know
There was nothing about him that sug-
sested that he thought himself any
thing other than the modest christian
gentleman that he is. There was not
the least hint that his head was turned
by his success. We talked of old times,
the school the scholars and the teach
ers, all scattered: and some beyond the

fellows. AT his invitation 1 took tea at

temptations, it has the same virtues,
the same vices as have all of us; its
merits are cur merits, its sins our

These loyal sentiments from demo
cratic speaker, and applauded by q
democratic audience, indicate that the
leaders Of that party will find it diff
cult to unite its ranks in support of the
particular issue which attacks our
army. As the administration, repre-
senting the republican party, does not
approve of cruelties in the Philippines,
and as no one is inclined to condone
such offences, If any have occurred. the
issue fails to enlist any support worthy
the name.

THE PASSING OF oom PAUL.

During all the amenities passing be-
tween the English king and his new
subjects, the Beers, none glance with a
smile or kind word toward "Oom Paul,
where he sits in Holland glowering
over his money bags. He is Dom
Paul" no longer. He is simply Kruger,
and persona non grata TO Boer ana
Englishman alike. His dream OF an
anti English oligarchy covering South
Africa, with himself as its emperor, has
forever faded. His power and even his
influence have utterly departed.
This deposition and apparent entire
is unique in history. Conquered peoples
are prone to crystalline their devotion
to lost cause about the personality of
their leader and make him the living
symbol Of its memory. He represents
to them the danger, the self-sacrilce
and hardship which, when borne to-
gether, knit men closer than the ties of
blood. None of this devotion can ever
be kruger's. He chose to desert rather
thar lead. He balanced greed against
glory, fortune against honor, and failed
TO choose the better part. Kruger had
the opportunity given him to stay with
his people, poor and a possible prison
tr-but immortal. He chose to flee. re-
main rich and be despised. Cecl
Rhodes, dead, remains force in South
Africa. Kruger, living, is no more to
the Transvaal than its commonest
the scar which the ill-advised war he
brought about left on the face of his
country.
Surrounded by his own creatures, he
forced the Transvaal into conflict to
which there could be but one outcome.
In inaugurating a war which should
''stagger humanity" at the possibility
of personal danger he fled with full
pockets to safety and comfort, leaving
a brave people TO battle in the desper-
alton of heroism for an honorable !
pedCe ne ITdHSNadi. owes Kruger |
nothing but contempt. With him elm
mated from it's counsels and shut from |
its treasury; with the growing feeling |
of respect and goodwill evinced be-
tween the conquerors and the con-
quered, the South African future Is as
sured. Its farms will blossom and bear
again, its gold mines add to the wealth
of the world and inter-marriage of
Beers and Britons destroy the last
vestige of animosity and build a new
and greater commonwealth upon the
ruins of those Krugers greed and OBJ
stinancy destroyed. South Africa is
fortunate in the death of Rhodes, the
elimination of Kruger and the acces-
sion of British supremacy, which
means the development of the country
and its resources.
