1T is w ELL.

Judging from the Democrat this
morning the newspaper war Is over,
at least for the present, and Messrs.
Day, Hartman and Higgins can walk
the streets without danger of whole
sale shooting Higgins was about
town yesterday evidently prepared for
a meeting and had the parties met,
unless another case of buck" fever
had taken hold, a funeralwould have
resulted on one side or the other.
Last evening quite a number of per-
sons talked with Day. with the result
that this morning In the Democrat
Day withdrew his challenge to shoot
on sight, which Higgins had accepted,
and we understand this leaves the
matter just where 1t was before the
newspaper war started. The two will
no doubt remain enemies but the
shooting on sight business Is on.
The advice of The Herald has evil
IDENTIFY borne fruit and we trust will
be adhered to. There can be candid
difference of opinion on political and
other subjects, and 1t is right that
newspapers discuss matters of public
interest and criticise the policy OF
each other In a fair and decent way,
but this does not necessitate mud
singing.

Many delegates from the East came
in by special trains. Every arrange

missioners and the numerous other
visitors has been completed, and the
spacious auditorium of the great
church, which commands the admira-
ton of all. is ready for the moderator
To take his sea. and deliver the open
ing sermon.
The gathering will be a cosmopoli-
tan assemblage, for full-blooded In
dams will sit side by side with mis-
sionaries from Africa, India, Mexico,
STA. China and the South American
republics, and the blackest of the col
ored race from the South will fratern-

third of the delegates are guests of
hospitable residents of the city, while

resolution touching the subject before

the question on the floor for discus

it will be passed by quietly. A large

endeavor to have that city chosen as

the greatest eXertions OF residents in
the afflicted section. William Rookie
feller, with two guides. is personally
fighting the flames, going to a critical

when ii was discovered that St John
and all the others had departed from
the county. St John drove to Saw
Pit with one or two Others and took
the train from that point. while others
boarded the train at other points and
left the county. Whether this was
done to avoid trial at the present
