The Meridian Press makes the

Of state. Mr.. Runnels can get our
vote--this much said to start with.
He has given rs occasionally some
severe lunches in the short ribs, but
that does not amount to anything
when it comes to the support of a man

in every essential. Besides he has

INDIGNANT.

THE president has appointed the
negro DR.. Crum. to be collector of
customs at Charleston, S. c. This
probably is next to the collcetorship
Mt New Orleans, the most important
Office in the federal civil service in
the southern states, and it confirms
the belief that has recently been
growing up in the country that tn ].
president has discarded the lily
white republican organization in the
south and has thrown himself into the
arms of the merge party.
This was necessary to secure the
support of the southern states delega-
ion in the national republican con-
vention in 1904. The southern repuh-
lican delegations in the national re.
publican conventions have great
deal to do with nominating a candi-
late, but nothing whatever to do with
the elceting him. Of course the vital
point TO Mr. Roosevelt is to secure
II
as has been threatened should cut
down the southern representation in
that body to the basis of the voting
population, it might completely knock
out the presidents calculations.
However, he is an unwise politi-
clan. He is too extreme and head
strong, and lacks absolutely the
smoothness and policy of Mr.. McKin-
ley. He is almost a mailman in the
radical character of his schemes and
in the violence with which he pushes
them. and because it is impossible TO
judge from any one act of his what
the next will be, he destroys conf
dence and inspices anxiety and appre-
hension in all matters where prudence
and conservatism are required. Pic

be beaten ont of it by the white man,

Teddy and his cabinet were$ com.
pietely turned down in the Indianola
incident in this state. The bondsmen
of the nergo postmistress telegraphed
the postoffice department that the
Office had been vacated, bnt that il
about all they said. Now it turns
out that the dispatch in transit or at
some other stage of the game had been
so badly twisted and changed that it
appeared that the postmistress had
been forced to resign on account of
threats that had been made against
her by the white people Of that little
town. The white people deny the
charge, and not only that, bnt the
postmistress herself and her husband
deny it. Now this leaves Teddy and
his cabinet in a bad light. They may
not have lied about it, but they gave
attention to and acted upon the mis-
representation of the facts, and not,
withstnnding their attention had been
called to the fact that it was a misrep-
resentation of the facts, certified to
by the parties directly interested or.
involved, they still seem to want the
lie to retain its wings and continue to
fly over the country, thus attempting
to leave the impression that they are
bigger than the United States. How
ever, the Progress is very much
pleased to see that they are being
roasted to dark brown by the press
of the country. Teddy in this in
stance has done the republican party
a great injury and it Will come up
against him in the next campaign.

A COWBOY Funeral.

Lee Marshall, of San Antonio, Texas,
cowboy employed by the Yonger
& James Wild West shows, was killed
at Dubois on Tuesday afternoon last
while in the act of riding a wild horse.
The horse was a very vicious animal
and it reared and fell backward on
the rider, the horn of the saddle strik-
Ing him in the stomach and iniuring
him so seriously that he died some two
hours afterward. The remains were
brought to Ridg way and placed in the
hands of Dearolph, Warney & Co., for
bnrial. A fine casket was purchased
and about fifty dollars worth of flowers
to give the poor man a nice funeral.
After the show in the afternoon, the
show people turned out en- masse and
marched to the undertaking rooms OF
Deorolph, Warney & Co., and then fol-
lowed the remains to Pine Grove
Cemetery, where very nice funeral
was conducted by Rev. Il. DeGeller,
ID. D., who himself was resident OF
Texas Tor many years. Alter the re-
gular burial service, DIR. DeGellar made
very nice address, in which he spoke
of the good traits of the cowboys of the
wild west. The deceased was not
married and was but twenty-seven
years old. Every effort was made Il
find the parents ofthe young man by
telegraph, but no answer came and &c
he was buried here. The remains were
nicely embalmed, and his relatives can
lift the remains and take them home
later If they desire to do 80. The liber
ality and kindness with which the pro
prietors Of the show provided for th,
funeral of this unfortunate young maI
Is very much to their credit. Though
no relative was near, Il was sad

eyes of many OF the show people one

bly, until he could control his feelings

ZIMMITT.

MICHAEL ZIlJMITT, aged 63years, who
was fatally inj ured June 18th, by fall
ing from a scaffold at Frank Shives'
new residence, died at his residence
on Plank Road Hollow, Tuesday
afternoon, after three weeks inten-
suffering All that medical skill
and careful nursing could do was
cheerfully rendered but all to no avail.
His back was broken and all the here
tofore industrious citizen and kind
husband and parent could do was to
patiently await the silent summons.
He was conscious almost to the last
moment and passed to the other side.
Mr. Zimmitt came to Emporium
about % years ago and entered the
employ of Contractor ]. w. Kriner
as carpenter and up to the hour of his
unfortunate accident, continued in his
employ, faithfully fulfilling all work
assigned to him. That he should take
the fatal step will never be explained,
after working on the largest buildings
in town and in the most perilous
places.
The funeral took place this morn
ing at nine o'clock at st. Marks
Catholic Church and was very largely
attended by our citizens, all of whom
respected the deceased.
Mr.. Zimmitt leaves a wife, four
daughters, two sons, two sisters and
two brothers to mourn his death, viz:
Mrs. Geo. Eckstein, Mrs. Joseph Kin
sler, Misses Lizzie and Katie Zimmitt,
also Michael, Jr., and Joseph. In ad-
dition to the immediate members there
are two sisters, Mrs. r. Seger, EN-
porium, and Mrs. Jos. Meyer, Erie,
Pa, also two brothers, who reside in
the west.
The PRESS as we'll as our citizens
generally, deeply sympathize with the
afflicted family in this hour of terrible
sorrow.
