REUNION OF THE ouAnTRELL GANG.

REUNION OF THE QUANTRELL GANG.
The surviving remnant of that guerrilla band that fol-
lowed Quanre during his saughterous civil war career

THE PlkERs' LAMENT.

For the Eagle.
AT THE SETTING OF THE SUN.
Ger the plains 1 love TO wander,
AT the warning of the day.
When the golden sun is sinking
Ger the distant hills OF gray.
It is then 1 love to wander.
When the day is almost done.
When the sky is dyed in golden.
At the setting OF the sun.
When the twilight dawns upon us,
Through a food of waning light,
Ningles with the rays of sunset,
Deepens softly into night
1t is then / love TO wander,
When the colors blend to one.
When the sunbeams yield to shadow,
AT the setting of the sun.
When the song birds sing their sweetest
In the chorus clear and strong,
Bid defiance TO the silence,
Fill the prairies with their song.
Aye. tbs then I love TO wander,
When the day is almost done.
When they sinsNtheir evening chorus,
At the setting of the sun.

The city council will meet with May
or White tomorrow afternoon to hear
the enforcement of the Sunday law.
and for making such orders in the
matter as the council and the mayor
may deem advisable. There is pro-
test on the part of some of the busi-
ness men against a rigid enforcement
of the law. The law permits the drug
stores, bakeries and confectioneries to
remain open, but unless the drug
stores are restricted to the sale of
drugs and medicines only, the bakeries
to bread. and the confectioneries to
all other stores will work unfairly
against other lines of business which
are also carried by drug stores, baker
les and confectioneries. The law per-
mits the sale of drugs and perishable
goods on Sunday and that is sutti-
cient If there is going to be an en-
forcement OF the Sunday closing law
against all other business houses, the
drug stores, bakeries and confection.

WASHINGTON the Republican
administration Of
cials discontinued the postoftice at
ndianola. Miss. Now it transpifes
that Minnie Cox is receiving salary
regularly for conducting a postoffice
at Indianola, place at which no post
office exists. Minnie Cox is receiV-
ing a salary of $1,100 per year for
nothing. She may spend her time as
she pleases, the only recompense de-
manded by the government is that she
sign the receipts-Uncle Sam uoes the
rest. Her dusky assistant is receiving
the sum of $3.50 per annum, but she
must take the time and trouble to at
tach her signature to the receipts.
The rent for the building in which
the postoffice was formerly conducted
is paid every month. = The exposure
of this latest phase of the Indianola
postoffice affair was brought to light
at Memphis. and the Commercial Ap-
peal wired to Washington for further
information and received the reply
that "all postmasters hold on and
draw salary until successor is ap-
pointed and qualified, which is true
where postoffice exists. but at In
dianola there is no postoffice. The
department at Washington has in
structed the railway mail clerks to
send all mail addressed to Indianola
to another office five miles distant.
In all instances where postoffices are
abolished the department issues in
structions where the mail addressed
to the office put out of existence shall
be sent. This was accordingly done
in the case of the Indianola postofice,
consequently Lndianola has post
master with salary and without an
office.
Law is a thing unknown and I'M
necessary to be regarded by the
present administration. We talk about
England being a monarchy, yet the
king of England would not dare to
ignore an act of parliament, but here
that the people rule themselves
through laws made by their represen-
tatives. a Republican administration
shamelessly violates an act of con-
gress. and for no other reason than
mere spite toward people whose
only offending was that they had grown
weary of the postoffice being loafing
place for negroes, and asked the ne
gro postmistress to resign She did
resign. but the law-breakers at Wash
ington declined to accept her resigna-
ton. discontinued the postoffice, and
continues to pay salaries and rent.
But the majority of people like that
sort Of thing. If they didn't they
would kick the Republicans out of
Office.

CORRESPONDENT
NUISANCE

"a we'll known
farmer near this place had, while
drunk, beaten his wife, boy and other
members of his family with a board
until they were nearly dead, and are
confined to their beds. Our cores
pondent gives the name of the farm
er who he says beat his family, but
fails to give his own name. Our cor.
respondents will please remember that
it is the rule of all well-regulated news
papers not to publish: communications
rejecting upon the reputation of any
one unless the name of the author is
known and known to be truthful and
sponsible.-Fordyce ChronicleEnter-
prise.
The anonymous correspondent who
writes lbelous matter to the news
papers is nuisance that is hard to
suppress. Notwithstanding the we'll
known policy of all decent newspapers
to ignore all anonymous communica-
tions, policy which has been pur-
to existence, there frequently bobs up
a person who wants to say something
slanderous about neigh bor, but at
the same time avoid responsibility by
shifting it to the shoulders of another.
Newspapers have enough troubles of
their own without assuming those of
persons who are too coWardly to take
care of their own troubles brought on
by spite. Every newspaper wants to
print all the legitimate news. and
though they may exercise all the care
possible in the collection of facts with
in the time allotted, enough unnten-
tional misstatements creep into the
news reports to make the newspaper
man weary Even though due care is
exercised, and the newspaper collects
what it honestly believes to be a
correct report of an occurrence, it
not infrequently happens that not all
the details are correctly given. News
paper men must depend upon hear,
ing the news the same as other indi-
vldualS and reporter often accepts
story as a fact in all its details
when it is not all true. The newspaper
is, in that instance, no more to be
censured than the individual who may
misstate thing believing that he is
relating a true story With the daily
newspaper. the time is very limited
for collecting and preparing the news
for publication. When an item has
been received from a source consid
cred reliable. the newspaper prints
it, and it does not always imply that
newspaper is unreliable because its
news reports are not always accurate
The newspaper can not be more ac
curate than the sources of its informa
ton.

nous communication referred to by
