pathizes with Taylor, for he knows
that the displeasure of the Ohio
boss is little short of equivalent to
dismissal for the clerk to incur it,

against Taylor are of so serious
a nature that 1t will be difficult to
retain him in his present position.

NATIONAL NEWS.

The temerity with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has declared that,
after being run for nearly fifty
years as union office, the Gov
eminent Printing Office is to be an
"open office" that no discrimina-
ton shall be made between union
and non-union labor, is the talk of
the day in Washington. On top
of Mr.. Roosevelt's decision to that
effect, moreover, comes the news
that he proposes to make an in
vestigation of the methods en-
ployed with view to securing the
performance of the work of the
Public Printer on an economical
basis, and the politicians are
aghast. That the President will
undoubtedly lose the labor vote is
the unanimous prediction of all
that have recently come to Wash
ington.
A prominent Democratic Con-
gresham now in Washington de-
clares that the Presidents stand is
undoubtedly due to the advice of
the New York Republican politi-
clans, many of whom have visited
him at Oyster Bay, and who have
assured him that his former posi-
ton of friendliness to the unions
was going to lose him the support
of his own state, where the en-
ployer class is all powerful. "Mr.
Roosevelt has decided that the
Wall street vote will prove more
valuable to him, accompanied as it
always is by generous contrlbu-
tons to the campaign fund, than
the labor vote, much of which
would be cast for the Democratic
candidate when it came time to
VOTE" is the explanation of the
Representative referred to.
Apparently little progress has
been made in the postofice investi-
CATION during the past few weeks.

NOTES FROM THE UNION CITY
SCHOOLS.

The new catalogue of the Uniol
City Schools has just been issue'
from the press and is ready for dis
tribution. 1t is handsome book
let and should be in the home O
every citizen of the town.
In this catalogue will be founc
the reports of the Board, which
will convince our people that they
have conscientiously discharged the
duties which have been placed upon
them. Their various reports show
that the schools have attained a
high degree of efficiency at a low
and economical expenditure of the
public funds.
Attention may be called to the
progressive nature of the teachers
many of whom are away for the
summer, attending various institu-
lions for the purpose of increasing
their efficiency for the coming ses-
sion.
Especial interest will be taken in
the development of the High School,
furnishing as it does, some new
features that will place it on an
equality with the best systems of
the largest cities in the state. The
course of study is enlarged, until it
admits to entrance in the best uni
versities in the South, and its
teaching force is equal to the best.
This will be appreciated by par
,,tnts who may wish their children
to enter higher institutions of learn
ing, after completing the course
here. They can have all the advan-
tages of the best private school
without the expenditure of tuition
and board. Under the present ar
rangement, there is no longer need
of sending away from home to at
tend the best preparatory education
for our boys and girls.
The permission of the City Coun-
Gil to open the High School privi-
leges to non-residents upon the
payment of tuition rates will serve
to give the people of Obion County
these high educational privileges
for their children at lower rates
than the cost to send them away
from the county. 1t will also bind
the city and the country in closer
union, and will elevate the educa-
tional standard of the whole county.
The coming session will begin

TWO TENNESSEE BOYS,

Whitney, of Nashville, Hanged

at Lexington, Ky.
Claude O'Brien, of Memphis. anG
Earl Whitney, of Nashville, botI
aged 10, were hanged at Lexington
KY, Friday, July "a, for the murder,
on October II, 1902, of A. B. Chinn,
an aged and respected citizen and
merchant of that place.
The boys ate a hearty breakfast
on the morning of the execution.
At 7,30 they were dressed for the
scaffold and at 7.57 the death march
began. The drop fell at sos.
Both declared that they were
ready to go, and Whitney went to
the scaffold with a smile on his
face. O'Brien muttered prayer as
the deputy tied his hands. Neither
made statement, but shook hands
with the priests before the black
caps were placed.
The crime was the worst, prob
ably in the history of Lexington,
excepting the murder of Bette
Shea by Tom O'Brien in 1889.
The boys, we'll on the road to
the point of professionalism as
burglars, had entered the residence
of Addison B. Chinn, on Maxwell
street, in quest of money. Chinn
was prosperous merchant, being
the senior member of the firm of
Chinn & Todd, the largest dry goods
house in Lexington. His home was
a story and half cottage of modern
fancy design.
Residing with him were his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Runyon, and
her son, a bachelor brother of Mrs.
Chinn, and Chinn's son, Asa Chinn.
The young man had just returned,
about 2 o'clock, from german at
Merrick Lodge. 1t was the morn
ng of October II, and he had not
gone to sleep when he heard his
mother cry out "Murder!'
Taking his revolver, he ran to the
loor of the bedchamber of his pa
'ents. He saw the flash of a re-
'olver and the burglars start for
he door when he approached. He
began shooting and soon found
himself wounded and laying on the
loor in pool of blood. His uncle
anne down stairs and found the
ather lying in the doorway of his
Jed room dead, and the son lying
midway of the hall, unconscious.
The elder Chinn had been shot
trough the chest and Asa had sew
raj wounds.
The alarm was sounded and il \
vas found that the burglars had ,

Trough the room of Mrs. Runyon,
Who was 81 years old, and slept =,
With the windows down at the top l

f the battle he had with the men,
tut could give no description OF
hem. He said he thought he had &
rounded one of them, but was not i
ertain. The elder Chinn had been
hot as he sat on TIE side of his =
ed, pleading for his life and telling
hem to search the house.
The widow was grief stricken, E

VACCINATED WITH
PLAGUE GERMS

Mexico City, March 17.-Scien-
lists here in charge of the bacteria
logical laboratory of the Govern
ment have been making expert
ments in vaccinating rats with
germs of bubonic pest. The expert
menting room where there are rats,
mice, mosquitoes, fieas and other
animals recognized as propagators
of epidemics among men, is so con-
structed that none of these animals
could escape. There is also an oven
where animals upon which expert
ments have been made are incin-
cerated so that all danger of con-
tagion is avoided. After every ex-
pertinent the room is thoroughly
disinfected for which there are pow
erful apparatus and chemicals.
The researches of the bacteriolog-
lists have enabled the authorities to
light the plague at Mazatlan and
thrown light on the proper means
of guarding against the invasion of
disease at ports.
Notwithstanding the new fall in
silver all classes of Government Sc
curities remain substantially the
same, five per cent gold bonds being
