field Mailman Cannot Live.


WINFIELD.-(Special.) The tota,
death list from the Twigg shooting af
fair now numbers nine, Otis Carter, a
bill poster, the last victim, dying Mon
day morning. Another Everett Ridge

die. For the balance, attending ply
sicians give very encouraging reports
and it is believed by them that unless
there are unforeseen complications, no
one else will die. Charles Thomas,
the eighth victim, was given a funeral
Monday under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias, and the Carpen-
ters' union. The town has recovered
from its first shock and business Is as

that Corporation Commissioner Henry G.
Stuart, of Russell, may be candidate
for tho Democratic nomination for Cover

1t will be recalled that shortly after
tho recent Constitutional Convention ad-
journed there was a considerable guber-
material boom launched for Mr.. Stuart
by his Southwest friends, owing to the
gh rank he took In the convention. and
since his appointment and service on the
Corporation Commission the matter seems
to have taken wider range, and there

ject ut present, but he Is regarded ms one
OF the most level-headed men In the State.
and Is popular to degree wherever he

Editor of The Ttmes-Dlspatch:
Sir would not hurry into print to
answer what has been said In the news
paper and on the streets against the re-
l.g1ous services In the parks. but that I
have heard some excited talk and know
that there are always those at such a
time who seem to forget that Christ's
most pronounced reference to His own
character was that Ho was meek in
heart and that His disciples were to
take lessons from Him in this grace, not
only that they might teach Others but
nlso that they might practice It, have
long ago learned that the courage OF ac-
ton Is more effective than that OF either
tongue or pen. II is In no spirit OF
bravndo or defiance that I make the fol-
lowing statements. innsmuch as that In
80 far as know the movement origi-
mated with me:
First There are thousands Of ncres In
our parks. and we ask for only small
part Of a single acre In several or them
for single hour on Sunday afternoon.
Second. The object Is not offensive to
but few and Is greatly desired by many,
since the purpose is not to disseminate
those doctrines that are distinctly de-
nominationnl. but to preach OF Jesus
Christ and His power to save from SIN
Third. We shall do this until those
with more authority by far than any
who have yet spoken forbid It.
