The HIQheSt Citizenship.

While minister of the gospel was
his pulpit in Wilmington,
Del, last Sunday, by a sensational
justidcationof the lynching of a negro
murderer, the father of the dead girl
sent this message to the mob which
clamored for the wretch's life:
"We ask you to join US in our
appeal to all citizens of our common
wealth to refrain from violence. Let
us not try to atone for one crime by
committing another"
That man is one of Gods noblemen.
He alone of all men in the world
might almost have been forgiven for
yielding to the natural passion for
revenge upon the hideous crime. In
stead, we find him pleading with a
rlurder-made mob to allow the law to
take its course.
Nothing could be finer. Nothing
could show a loftier conception of
the duties of good citizenship. s.

his ship. He does not have to ask
other people before he can answer
questions. l shall telegraph to the
President today, sirs, telling him in
what perfect condition have found
your ship"

The WOMAN
In the SO-CalIed Bigamy Case
Released on d Preliminary Trial
at Sidney.

Last Thursday, Charles Windle and
Miss Van Fossen-Shroyer-Purk got a
marriage license of the Logan Coun-
ty Probate Judge, to marry. The wo-
man swore she was unmarried, and
the man swore he had never been
married.
After their marriage, at Port JEFF
ferson, she was arrested on a charge
of bigamy, but was discharged on a
preliminary examination.
The Sidney Journal gives the fol-
lowing history of this much married
couple:
"Mrs. Charles Windle was arrested
Monday, charged with bigamy. She
plead not guilty, and was held in 81 900
for the preliminary hearing this Fri
day morning, at which time she was
discharged. no one appearing against
her.
Her maiden name was Lula Van
Fossen; she lived at Maplewood. She
has had three marital adventures,
her first husband being George Shroy'
er. They separated and at the end OF
three years she was married to Harley
Purk, of Quincy, October 3. 1896, nc
divorce having been obtained. After
she was married toPurk, Shroyer got
a divorce, thus invalidating the sec
ond marriage. Tuesday of last weel
Windle and the woman went to Belle
fontaine and got marriage license
and were married the same day a
Port Jefferson by the Rev. N. Shid
aker. She has of late been living IL
Logan county. Windle recently go
a divorce. The charge of bigamy wa
lpreferred by her second husband
Harley Purk. The first husband pro
touring a divorce after her secont
marriage gives,h her a loop-hole in th'
law as to bigamy."
