the negro was Immediately turned
over to Sheriff Spradley, who told
the people that he would be given
speedy trial. The town began tn

accepted by the court. The judge or
dered that the death sentence DO

no delay. Buchanan then waived tho
80 days allowed him by law and was
hanged by Sheriff Spradley in tho
jail yard in the presence OF q large
crowd.
Ten days ago the dead bodies OF
Farmer Hicks, his wife and daughter
were found in the Hicks home, and
Sheriff Spradley began search for
the murderer. A week later Jim Bu-
chanan was arrested and confessed
to the murder. The news of the me-

BR1cHTENs THE OUTLOOK.
settlement of the Coal Strike Re-
moves Only Serious Handicap
to Trade Progress.

New York, Oct. IS. = Bradstreets
saws: "With the settlement of the
great coal strike of 1902, the most
remarkable in some respects of mod
ern record, practically the only I'M
favorable feature in general trade
and industry disappears. Coincidens
with this, also, have been the ending
of several minor troubles of a SINH
lar nature. While relief to the pub
lie mind is, perhaps, the most imme-
date result, II Is natural to expect
that present abnormal prices and con-
ditions in fuel supply will gradually
disappear. Some scars of course WIFE
be left, and the effect of the costly
trouble will, no doubt, be reflected
in some permanent loss of trade In
the mining regions and In rather
higher prices for fuel the coming
winter than were paid year ago.
All other trade Developments this
week are largely favorable. Retail
trade has generally improved, slim
ulated Mt the west, northwest AMI
south by cooler weather, fall fesU-
walls and carnivals. Jobbing demand
Is also better, particularly at the
west"

Trade says: Settlement OF the COIL
strike removes the only serious hand
leap 70 industrial progress. Five
months of restricted fuel production
had begun to check the wheels at
many manufacturing centers, while
there was perceptible diminution
in consumptive demands as the pnr-
chasing power of the wage-earners
steadily decreased. Savings have been
exhausted and much money has gone
out of the country because OF this
struggle, but the nations remarka-
bly, strong position assures o speedy

DON'T FORGET 1891.
Democrats Striving to Lead the Pee-
PIE Into Repetition OF the Griev-
Gus Mistake OF That Year.

Exactly ten years ago the majority
of the people of the United States was
being misled into the disastrous blum
der whose results were for four years
thereafter source of constant and
deep regret to thousands of honest
voters who had permitted specious
Misrepresentation temporarily to
overcome their intelligence and good
judgment.
Believing that memory Is short
enough already to have left behind the
bitter experience of those years, the
democratic party is seeking to mislead
the people into a repetition of their
grievous mistake of decade ago, says
the Albany Journal.
Then the cry was that "the tariff is
a tax" Now it is, that the tariff is the
"mother of trusts" Then the specious
argument was that the equivalent of
the respective import duties was adj
ded to the prices of the commodities
upon which duties were imposed. Now
It is that the tariff is enabling the great
Industrial combinations to exist, that
they are expressing and robbing the
people-the statement is made gener-
al; specific instances are never cited
and that therefore the combinations
should be destroyed through abolition
of the tariff.
1t Is in order at this time, when an
other attack upon the protective sys-
tenn is being made, for every American
citizen to think back to the time when
the Wilson law had removed part of
the tariff that had been falsely de-
nounced as tax. Commodities be'

A GREAT PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt Has Proven Himself Cs1-
tious and Conservative, Patient
and steadfast.

Those who have imagined Theodore
Roosevelt to be impulsive in temper or
rash in action have only to consider
his conduct of the last few weeks to be
convinced of their error, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
By his Intervention in the coal strike
the president was doing his duty-not
duty enjoined upon him by the letter
of the law, but inherent in his Office
the duty of every chosen magistrate
of the people to take heed of the peo-
pies welfare-the duty of a chosen
leader to lead.
In the discharge of this plain duty
Theodore Roosevelt found his motives
maligned, his mandate from the peo-
pie denied, his good intentions secuted,
his benevolence fouted, his guests in
suited in his presence, his appeals wan
tonly disregarded, the dignity of his
office trampled upon and his purposes
insolently defed.
If Theodore Roosevelt had been
really impulsive, rash, hasty or head
strong here was situation in which
those qualities would have appeared.
No impulsive man, no man without the
fullest control over himself, would
have endured these affronts to himself
and to the dignity of hisgreat Office.
II Theodore Roosevelt had for one
instant forgotten that he was presi-
dent of the United States and as such
must be ever ready to sink personal
AZ n. L
vidual' sacrifice for the public good, he
would have resented these affronts

heard your conversation in the vene-
tian chamber. Had you gone away
with her, 1t Is terrible to think of
the position in which you might have
been placed"
As 1 listened to his words, my blood
froze in my veins.
"How can know. whether you
are telling me the truth?" asked,
still suspicious of the stranger.
"You cannot TELL" he replied, "un
til you are given proofs. We are go
ing to drive to the police-station,
where you will find the real Mrs.
Shepperton, who has been recalled to
the neighborhood, and warned of the
intrigue"
I began to tremble violently, but
still kept fast hold on the check, de-
termined to give it to no one but the
real Mrs. Shepperton herself.
At don't wonder you believed In
that evil woman" continued the
stranger. "She has completely de-
ceived her confding old mistress.
Presently when we bring them face
to face with each other on the rail-
way station, there will be little or
no doubt in Mrs. Shepperton's mind"
1 could hardly bear the suspense
till the carriage drew up in front of
the police station, and / followed
the tall man through the gateway.
In little room / espied a pald
trembling figure. An old lady in
IA ftrr q n
and dainty laces, eyed me curiously
as entered. For a moment / stared
at her open-mouthed-the white side
curls, the arched eyebrows, were all
SO like the Mrs. Shepperton with
whom I had conversed not an hour
ago.
Until had arrived, she had still
hoped there might be some mistake;
but my amazement at seeing her
proved the truth Of the detectives
story.
"Why do you look at me SO strange
ly?" she asked. perhaps you have
seen somebody like me?"
She placed her shaking hand on
my arm, and 1 noticed tear rolling
down her withered cheek. l spread
out the check on the table before
her, and she peered at it curiously
| through her glasses. In as few
words as possible explained what
| had occurred.
.Then it is true?" she gasped, in
| a broken voice. "And l would have
trusted her with my life!"
| She staggered to the door.
| "We have to go to the railroad
station" she said. ut will be an aw-
full moment indeed"

ly.

Surely you and your men can ar
| rest this imposter without giving
this poor lady the pain OF an en-
counter?
She threw me a grateful glance as
1 made the suggestion.
"Of course, if Mrs. Shepperton pre-
fers it," said the inspector, some
what aggrieved that she should wish
to forgo the excitement of catching
the thief red-handed.

words. My heart was too full a

i librarian by profession.
While travelling to various coun-

strange adventures, though indexing
musty old libraries sounds dry as
dust to the casual ear.
Being one Of large family, I
revel in the relaxation of work, by

for riches, ease, and chiffon.
One bright sunny morning I met
an old friend of my father's-Mr.

to book-collecting friends.

1 thanked him heartily, declaring i
loved eccentric people.
"Then / will ask her to write to
you," he said.
Sure enough, few days later re-
ceived a request to visit Stanley
House. But the letter brought with
it sense of disappointment, for Mrs.
Shepperton informed me she was go
ing for short tour abroad, SO
could not see her.

she wrote, "who will look after your

On my arrival was greeted with

purple velvet, with beautiful lace
mantilla swathing her white hair
came across the hall to greet me
She had quaint side curls, and be-
nign expression. One or two ex.
