TULLOCH WANTS TO SUE
CHARLES EMORY SMITH
Doesn't Thank Former Post
master for Comparing
Him to Ananias

Washington. July THE disclalm-
er of S. W. TWlloch former cashier OF
the Washington postoflce, vita rela-
tion to the reports quoted by ex-Post-
master General Smith in his letter to
Postmaster General Payne, was con-
tanned in a letter from Tulloch. who
is now in Pittsburg on business, to a
friend in this city.
It is understood that in the letter
Mr.. Tulloch also expressed his resent
ment against ex-Postmaster General
Smiths editorial in the Philadelphia
Press. in which among other things
It was said that "Ananias" has a rival
Hereafter the crowning comparison
of mendacity will be: He lies like a
Tulloch."
On account of his standing, flnan-
cial and social. in the national capital,
Mr.. Tulloch feels that it will probably
be necessary for him TO institute pro
ceedings in libel against Mr.. Smith.
If he should take this action, he will
do so under the federal laws of the
District Of Columbia. and not under
the recently enacted Salus-Grady libel
law of Pennsylvania, concerning the
constitutionality of which there are
said to be grave doubts.

EMPLOYE
KILLS STATE OFFICIAL
In Struggle Which Followed
Murderer Receives Fatal
Wound in Abdomen

Austin, Tex, July 1.-Frenzied by
supposed wrongs, w. G. Hill. an OK
attache of the state comptroller's Of
fee, entered the private office of State
Comptroller r. NJ. Love and killed him
by means of two well directed bullets
from a large caliber revolver. As Hill
turned to fee he was intercepted by
Chief Clerk Stevens. and in the scuf-
fe which followed Hfll's revolver was
accidentally exploded. The bullet en-
tered Hills abdomen, causing a wound
from which he died.
AS to what caused the shooting
none can explain, other than that It
was the act of a madman. Hill had
been an employe of the comptroller's
Office for 10 years preceding Mr. Loves
term of Office. He was discharged by
Mr.. Love when the latter took charge,
and 1t is presumed that this fact so
preyed on his mind that he went in
sane. He went to the capitol, entered
Mr.. Loves private Office. spoke to him
cheerfully, shook hands and handing
him a letter to read. sat down at the
invitation of the comptroller No
sooner had Mr.. Love began to read
the letter than Hill sprang to his feet
and fired two shots into the body OF
Mr.. Love, one taking effect just above
and the other Immediately below the
heart. Mr.. Love screamed. dropped
the letter and sprang half forward
towards his assassin, then gasped and
fell forward.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-07-30

Institutions may crumble and gov
ernments fall, but It is only that they
may renew a better youth. The petals
of the flower wither that the fruit
may form. The desire Of perfection,
springing always from moral power,
rules even the sword and escapes I'M
harmed from the field Of carnage, CIV
ing to battles all that they can have Of
luster and to warriors their only glory,
surviving martyrdoms and safe amid
the wreck of states. On the banks Of
the stream Of time not a monument
has been raised to hero or a nation
but tells the tale and renews the hope
of improvement. Each people that has
disappeared, every institution that has
passed away, has been a step in the
ladder by which humanity ascends to-
ward the perfection of its nature
George Bancroft.

Curious Mathematical Fact.

There is q certain popular young
lawyer in Atlanta who when in college
was known as the best mathematician
In his class. He is still much interest
ed in knotty questions Of figures, and
he propounded query on the street
yesterday that none of a dozen men
could answer.
'"Take any two consecutive num-
bers," he said, "say four and FIVE;
square them and subtract the lesser
result from the greater, and the num-
Der you have is the same as the sum
of the numbers you started within
this case four and FIVE, their sum being
nine.
"This will work out every time, no
matter what two consecutive numbers
you take. The rule is well known, but
/ have never been able to find an ex-
PLANTATION of it. Why is this always
true, and can any one explain it to
meY
His hearers figured long, but none
was able to tell why the sum Of the
two consecutive numbers is equal to
the difference Of their squares.-Atlan-
ia Constitution.

Two Definition. of . Gentleman.

To be a gentleman lis to be honest,
to be gentle, to be generous, to be
brave, to be wise, and, possessed Of all
these qualities, to exercise them in the
most graceful manner" says the great
novelist Thackeray.
A diner in, certain hotel became SO
noisy that the proprietor directed his
removal. The waiter who successfully
accomplished this, ON returning to the
room, expressed his regret at having
been obliged to put the individual out,
for, said he, with emphasis, hes a
perfect gentleman" adding after a
pause, as If to explain how he arrived
at so decided a conclusion, 'He give
me 'alf a crown."-Notes and Queries.

To the Sunday School Workers OF
Audubon County.

The annual convention of the Audu-
bon County Sunday School Associa-
ton will assemble in Brayton on the
4th of August, 1903. An all day and
evening session will be held. All
pastors and Sunday school superinten-
dents are requested to announce the
convention as widely as possible.
Everyone whose name appears on the
program is earnestly urged to attend.
This is busy season so a special
effort to be present should be made on
the part of every lover of the home
and the Sunday school. The program
as it appears on the last page of this
issue of the REPUBLICAN includes
some of the brightest Sunday school
workers of our county. In addition
to this excellent local talent, we have
secured the services of DR.. Hill, OF
Atlantic, and B. F. Mitchell, of Des
Moines, who is general secretary of
the Iowa Sunday School Association.
So far from the present outlook we
have the promise of good convention.
