HON. ]. A. PiTcocK,
Van Buren,, Ark,
Dear Sir:-I am Just in receipt OF your favor
ofyesterday In regard to the niger rapist recen
ly sentenced TO be hung on plea OF guilty by
your Circuit Court do not intend to interfere
with the execution Of the law by the pardoning
power or continuation Of sentence, but want
the supreme Court to pass on the question as
to whether or not defendant may be sentenced
to be hung on plea of guilty, and In
order for them TO have time to
pass on the question it may be necessary
for me TO hold up the sentence temporarily
until they can do so, In view Of the facts which
you write about mob violence, request that
you Immediately upon receipt Of this letter,
without any kind Of publicity, lodge the prison.
er In the peuitentiary for safe keeping, so that
this very important legal question may be set
tied without any danger Of mob violence, which
would be disgraceful both to you and the state.
The niger can be hung legally by the case be-
ing reversed and a jury being called to assess
the death penalty. 70 hang him otherwise IN
my judgment would be judicial murder and all
officers taking part In II would be morally guilty
OF murder, hence take this course not TO pro-
tect the niger or show him any executive
clemency. but simply to see that he Is hung
legally.
Please let me hear from YOU at once n you
will adopt this course 10 prevent mob violence
Yours very truly

The Old Sweet Song.

We are in receipt OF the announce
ment of the wedding at the home of
the brides parents at Grant Works,
Cook Co. Ill. on Sept. 10 tn, of Miss
Eta Belle Page and Mr.. Allen Rae of
of Dow City, Rev. H. II. Barten of
Adel Iowa officiating.
The groom is we'll known in this
county as the son of Mr. Thos Rae OF
Dow City. He Is a young man of great
promise. AS an electrical engineer he
has already made his mark and while
in the service of the u S. Navy he
has visited the far corners of the Garth
and as the readers of the Review are
we'll aware from his interesting letters
which we have published from time
to time, he has made the most of his
opportunities. Better than all he is
an upright Christisn young man, a
credit to his lineage and to the county
in which he WAS reared. We are un-
acquainted with the bride but we
trust and believe that she is all that
should be to make for Allan happy
and helpful wife, We congratulate
the young couple and wish them long
life and prosperous one.

No News Of Nurpley.

In spite of Sheriff Bell and his as
sistants throughout the county. there
has been no authentic news of the de-
parted Numley. Many photographs of
the escaped criminal haye been sent
throughout the country and it would
seem impossible that he should escape
entirely. That he should have gotten
away at all with but ten minutes start
OF his pursuers is to be wondered at.
There once was fellow called Numley
Who thought he was treated quite bumly /,
SO he jumped Sheriff Bell
With a bin and yell
And that was the last seen OF Numley.

while no merchant but whom will ex-
pect 70 make a legitimate profit from
what he may sell during the fair, that
no extortion will be permitted. We
wish our friends and neighbors to leave
Denison with favorable impression of
the city and not with the thought that
they have been robbed. The year has
been prosperous one for the farmers.

off before the hard work of corn pick

The Bulletin has slur to cast at the
republicans because they are to hold
their county convention at Manila
this year. Manila is a good town ard
the republicans believe it to be Just
and proper to let other towns than
Denison have a convention once in a
while. This reminds us that a year ago
the Bulletin criticised the republicans
most severely because they did not
hold their convention on Saturday
The Bulletin said this was done to shut
out the farmers. This year the demo-
Gratis did the very same thing them
selves and the Bulletin made no OBJ
lection.

DEATH OF REV. D. AUSTIN.

Rev. Dinsmore Austin died at his
home in Jefferson on Tusspay Sept. Sth.
after lingering illness in the 7Oth
year of his age. He was born in Surry
New Hampshire Feb 1888. He was
married to Emily c. Gould on August
IA 1851. In 1858 at the age OF twenty
five he became converted and two years
later he entered the ministry of the
Methodist Episcopal schurch. On ac-
count of his wife's health he moved to
Iowa in 1859 locating in Webster City.
In order to exc out his meager salary
as a preacher he became peddler and
sold goods about Hamilton county until
he had conquered the hard times. In
spite of his efforts: his wife died OF
consumption in the following January.
In October 1870 he was married to
Maggie A. Calvert of Essex, Vermont,
the woman who has stood by his side
during all the succeeding years of his
ministry and whose helpfulness and
strength OF character haye endeared
her to the people of many Iowa homes.
For four years Bro. Austin labored
on the Webster City circuit as local
preacher, organizing churches with
marked success. At first some were
inclined to jeer at the peddler who
said he was preacher, but this ended
one night when school house had
been secured for his initial sermon, and
before the service closed three young
men were humbly asking for forg i've
ness and salvation from Cod In 1874
he came into the Des Moines Conference
seeking an appointment. His first
charge was Russell. two years, then to
Murry, two years; Corydon, three years:
Denison, three years; Bedford, three
years; Red Oak, one year; Charlton,
four years; Jefferson, four years;
Nevada, two years; his closing public
labor for the church of his choice. 1t
is as strange as it is true that these
last two years were accounted as the
happiest in his ministry, Just why is
only known to Him whoiseeth in secret.
Yet the writer has somehow thought
there had come to him, gilded with the
sure pledge of the masters approval,
the time when the burdens were to
be laid down" and after that the crown.
There was the wasting strength, the
increasing intirmities incident to age,
in fact the outward man was perishing
but over and above that was a blessed
realization of the Fathers pledge, SC
very precious in its fulfiilment.'

officiating. Those attending from Den

peculiarly fitting that the funeral of
this saint of kethodism should have
taken place at Jefferson at the time of
the Conference 20 that al of his
brother workers might be enabled to
pAy their lAst tribute OF rsspscs and
love to his memory.

Little Jeannette Kemmlng, the four

G. Kemming died on Wednesday night.
She had been sick but dav and the
news came as q great shock of grief to

little one She was suddenly taken ill

followed by convulsions. She appar-
emily recovered from these and passed
into deep slumber from which she
passed into the great unknown. The
hearts OF all are wrung with sympathy
for those who have been so suddenly
called upon to face such great and
overwhelming grief. Jeanette was
such a dear little GIRL all smiles and
sunshine and heartease. it seems i'm.
possible and cruel that she should
have been taken from those who loved
her 80 dearly. The little Kemmine
boys called her 'sistsr" with so much
OF love and pride that it became hel

that the sympathy OF the community is

were held this afternoon under the
auspices of the Christian Ssienel

KEEP THEM OUT.
why There Should He No Letting Up
In Opposition to the ,ine.e.

In Opposition to the ,ine.e.
Opposition to the re-en> ;tment of
the Geary Chinese exclusion act is not
demonstrative, but nevertheless it is
very real and strong and persistent. It
would be mistake to underestimate
its extent and force.
President Roosevelt's frank and Wig
orous approval in his message Of the
exclusion policy has been effective for
tunately In imposing silence upon most
of the Republican organs which
through the years have been strenuous
In antagonizing it. To differ from the
president and thus be out Of harmony
with what he has striven to incorpo-
rate as feature Of his party's program
| would make too large a demand upon
their courage. The sudden cessation
| of their Remuneration of anticoolyism
as "demagogic pandering to low race
prejudice and class ignorance" while
| it does honor to their independence, is
one proof of how substantial a service
Mr.. Roosevelt has rendered the coun-
try.
There seems to be every probability
that congress will vote to keep up the
bars against the Chinese, but it is not
| wise to trust too much in this outlook.
1t will be judicious for the friends of
the exclusion policy not to abate their
zeal until actual victory has been won.
We may be sure that the enemies of
the policy will not sleep.
These enemies are Of two classes,
only one Of which is entitled to respect.
We refer to those people, all residents
| of portions Of the country free from
the Chinese, who are without practical
knowledge of the question and who
feel that to forbid any race to come to
| us Is to violate the American principle
| of equality and depart from the noble
| and general tradition which makes this
| republic the refuge of the poor and
oppressed Of all nations.

LOOK FOR TROUBLE
NOTABLE UTTERANCES OF ARCH.
BISHOP IRELAND.
Says Many Persons of Catholic Faith
Appeared Evidently Anxious of
Being Half Persecuted.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Archbishop
John Ireland of st. Paul. was the prin-
clpal speaker at the annual banquet
of the Carroll Institute held here to-
night. He sought to disabuse his hear
ers OF the impression which he believed
prevailed among Catholics that they
suffered because of their religion. sug-
costing in this connection that many
persons of that faith appeared evident
~ anxious Of being half prosecuted.
he asserted that Catholics do not
suffer because of their religion, and
said the idea that they did is grad
ually disappearing. They have, he
said. a better chance Of accomplish
ing what they desired than formerly.
Instead of waiting until measures pre-
judicial to their interests were adopted
they should protest against any alleged
1nfraction Of their rights and thew
would be given respectful attention.

INJUNCTI0Ns DON'T GO IN GER.

"hl1e we are worrying and fretting
over 1njunctions in this country the
supreme court of Germany proceeds to
make decision which is sensible and
to the point. Some of our judges who
think they represent the spirit of free
dam and equality as embalmed in
Judicial action might initiate the Ger
man supreme court with good effect
The case in Berlin came up on an
appeal from a labor union in Lubbock
The supreme court reviewed the whole
matter of injunctions and declared un-
constitutional law passed few weeks
ago by the Prussian diet prohibiting
strikers from using pickets.
BY this decision the German striker
may use any amount of moral suasion
and argument that he chooses to the
non-union striker, so long as he does
nothing violent or abusive.
This is precisely the point for which
strikers have been contending in this
country, but our judges have assumed
to themselves the right to say that
a non-union man shall not even be ap-
preached by the previous owner of his
job, for fear the non-unionist might
get glimpse of honor and manhood
and refuse to stay at the work.
Congress will be asked at the coming
session to enact some legislation which
will restrain the abuse of the injunction
in the hands Of our judges. It is not
to our credit that empire ridden Ger
many is ahead of us and that it's su-
preme court has the justice to make a
decision in conformity with the rights
of the strikers that puts our boosted
American freedom to shame.
It would be a long time bofer our
supreme court would make any such
decision. The courts in this country
think decidedly more of the rights of
property than they do the rights Of
man.

wasn't even standing room only" A
j%ocular commuter said, beware of

Everybody laughed.

cts if he does as I did. I have a self
patented scheme. I have a buttonhole
in my vest pocket. I run my chain
through it and attach the other end in
the usual way. They can't draw that
watch through that buttonhole. No
