TYRRELL TAKES THE BANNER.

1t seems that some counties, claiming
the banner for having the fewest number
of Democrats Who failed to pay their
poll tax, must go way back and sit
down" The little county of Tyrrell gets
the banner. In a private letter from
the county, from Mr.. Joe 4. Spruill,
the patriotic and aggressive Democratic
chairman, the news is given that every
Democrat in the county paid his poll
tax before May LIST.
Good fer TYrrell county 1t had a
hard fight and lost in 1894 and 1896, but
it was redeemed in 1898 and is now re
solved to hold the banner rs the best
poll tax paying and Democratic voting
county In the State.

Bnrned to Death.

~ AOAAAOA0 ohRA ARAANo w 10 -
Ray county about the burning to
death Of Mrs. Belle Smith and her
two daughters, Maggie and Mary.
Mrs. Smith was a widow 80 years old;
Maggie was IA, and Mary was aged s
years. They lived a short distance
below the mouth of Crooked River,
and in sight of the Missouri River.
This location is familiar to hunters
and fishermen about Lexington, as it
lies just across the river from the old
Hicklin lake.
Tuesday night their house was
burned. and the woman and her two
daughters were burned to death in
the building.
Mr.. Heisler and his family live
about a quarter of a mile from the
Smith place. Tuesday night Mrs.
HeIsler heard screams. She got up
out of bed, went to the window and
looked out. She saw flames, awoke
her husband, put on her shoes and a
dress, and hurried to the scene Her
husband dressed as rapidly as possible
and followed his wife, Mrs Heisler
reached the place a little ahead of her
husband, and heard groans in the
building, but il was then a solid mass
OF flames. The bodies were recovered
next day and brought to this city,
where on Thursday they were buried
from the Catholic church.
We T reliably Informed that foul
play is strongly suspected in this mat
ter, and the following reasons are
given:
A short time ago a man named
John Prior received quite a large sum
of money from Kentucky. He was a
close friend Of the Smith family, and
it is thought that he had paid Mrs.
Smith 5000 only a few days ago,
Prior died suddenly of heart disease,
in Hardin only two days before the
fire, and the death Of the woman and
two girls will probably forever pre-
vent any information being obtained
on the subject. Mrs. Smith owned
sixty acres Of land, on which she lived.
1t is hard to think that any human
being could commit such a diabolical
act for money-and such a small
amount as 5000. But the people Of
the vicinity are aroused, and are max.
ing a thorough Investigation. We
hope the mystery may te cleared up.
and if any enc is guilty of this fou.
deed, that justice may soon overtakC
him.
The latest information states thai
the woman aud her two children wert
murdered, having their heads spill
open with a Ratchet, which has beer
found. Also that Mrs. Smith wal
known to have 81, 1000 10 her house
received as insurance money on TIT
life Of her husband. 1t is said a gaoG

At 900 feet water was struck IN the
Hoffman well. The water rose to with
in 100 feet of the top and is now sup
plying between $4,000 and 100, 900
gallons per day, which Is sufficient for
all the needs Of the ice plant. Mr..
Hoffman has ordered a Cooks deep
well engine. This engine will have a
SO inch stroke and a 10 inch steam cyl
iuder. The engine is one of the finest
OF its kind and has a capacity Of so
gallons per minute. The entire cost
of sinking the well and the engine will
be about "a, 900. Mr.. Hoffman de-
serves to be congratulated for his pro-
pressive spirit and his perseverance.
The excursion last Sunday from this
city to Jefferson City was a success as
far as numbers was concerned, but a
failure otherwise. Big crowds we're
picked up at each station, and the long
train was crowded. On the return
trip there was Sighting and all sorts of
deyiltry. Il was reported that a negro
was shot and fell off the train, but this
report vas probably untrue. It IS said
that the train was badly damaged by
the passengers. many windows heing
smashed, aud several seats damaged.

Soutley on Wordsworth,

OF Wordsworth, Southey writes in
1903. says Harold S. Scott in The At
lantic: "He has written a mastery
poem called The White Doe OF Rilston
Hall; or, The Fate of the Nortons.' The
poem is incomparably fine. 1t would
amuse you to hear how he talks Of his
owrproduction. His entire and intense
selfishness exceeds anything you could
have conceived. l am more amused at
1t than offended; not being sufficiently
attached to him to feel pain ut perceiv.
ing his faults. and yet respecting him
far TOO much on the average of his
qualities to be disgusted. 1t is so pure
and unmixed Il passion In him that Ben

TALKING TO ONESELF,
Soliloqufes Are Rnre Because We
Fear They Mean Madness.

SoIiloquies Are Rnre Because We
Fear They Mean Madness.
Talking to oneself has this obvious
advantage over any other form Of ora.
tory or gossip: One is assured Of u
sympathetic audience. But it has also
this peculiar drawback: 1t is supposed
to be one of the early symptoms Of in
sanity. Wrongly SO perhaps. A mad
doctor might rule the habit out of his
diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular
belief Is firmly rooted, and it is for
fear of this belief doubtless that we
talk to ourselves even as we dress our
hair with straws so rarely.
1t may be said that we never do ad-
dress ourselves at any length except in
the delirium Of fever. In moments
Of ordinary excitement Of course we
utter to the wind some sort Of appro-
pirate ejaculation. Delight wrings
from US a cry of "Hurrahv' or THANK
heaven" even though there be none by
to echo US. Similarly in any disgust
we emit one of those sounds whose
rather poor equivalents in print are
ugh" and "Faugh" and "Tutw Much
further than this we do not go. "Why,
what an ass am /" cries Hamlet In
one OF his soliloquies. Omltting the
first word and transposing the last
two. the ordinary modern man does
often soliloquiZe to that extent. But
he could no more soliloquiZc to Ham
let's extent than he could speak In
decasyllabics.
Nor Is there any reason to suppose
that that class of the community with
which, contemptuous Of his own fuen-
cy, Hamlet compared himself is or
ever was more prone to soliloquize
than any other. In the matter Of solil-
oquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an
unbiased authority. We merely find in
him the possible origin Of the belief
that talking to oneself is bad sign.-
