TIlLMAN AT GAFFNEY.
Senator TilIman Speaks In Behalf Of
the Dispensary Law.


Several hundred people gathered at
Gaffney last Saturday to hear Senator
Tillman speak in defense Of the Cher
okee county dispensaries, the contin-
ued operation Of which is to be decid-
ed in an election to be held under the
emasculated Brice law on November.
8. The election has been called on a
petition signed by about 1900 Of the
2,40O voters in Cherokee county, and
Senator Tillman was present on an
invitation, signed by about 200 people;
but just how gotten up does not ap-
pear.
The senator spoke about two hours,
and was listened to with close atten-
ton. He invited Interruptions as usu-
al but did not succeed in getting any
except from Editor DeCamp. During
the course Of his speech the senator
took occasion to pitch into Editor De-
Camp for having invited him to come
to Gaffney in behalf Of the new county
movement, and for criticising him for
coming in defense Of the dispensary.
Editor DeCamp claimed that the SEN
ator was misrepresenting him and
asked him to stick to the record. The
senator secured some diversion at the
expense Of the editor; but the Incl
dent was pleasant rather than other
wise.
The senator's speech was for the
most part, If taken at its face value
on broad lines. 1t was shrewd ef-
fort too. we'll worthy Of its author, and
calculated to leave strong impress
sion in the direction he desired. He
recognized that the enforcement OF
the dispensary law rests under a cloud
Of suspicion and declared that unless
this cloud could be dissipated, he was
in favor of killing the law. He was
very careful, however, to call the at
tention Of his audience to the revenue
the county Is receiving from the dis
pensary, and to impress it with the
fact that If it votes out the dispensary
IL Will ilol Oiiiy nave " 6iNS uP eAiS
revenue; but will have to pay an ex-
ira tax ito enforce prohibition"
Because of the opportunity for
stealing under the administration Of
the dispensary, the senator claimed
that it was natural that people should
assume that there was stealing. Peo-
pie had accused him Of stealing when
he had the control of the dispensary.
They could not prove that he stole but
argued that he stole because they
themselves would have stolen II they
had been placed in the same position.
He referred to rumors about members
of the board of control to the effect
that poor men had gotten rich on SAL
aries of $400, and that a certain COM
missioner whose property was covered
by mortgages when he went into Of
flee, died recently and left his family
a lot Of money. He took care to say
that he did not believe that there is
any corruption in the administration
Of the dispensary; but frankly admit

Homicide In Fort Mill

Homicide In Fort Mill
Jake Dunlap killed Monroe Jones at
Fort Mill last Sunday In a difficulty
about a woman. Coroner Louthian
held an inquest yesterday, and the
jury seemed to think that the killing
was justifable. The reporter has
been unable to gather tine facts. Both
parties to the homicide are negroes.
Result Of Family Feud.
There was an unfortunate shooting
affair in the neighborhood Of. Union
church, about five miles north Of
Yorkville last Friday afternoon. Mr..
Ernest Wood shot Mr.. Parks jackson
with revolver. The bullet entered
in one side and was cut out at the
other side. The understanding is
that although the wounded man had
a very narrow escape, he will prob
ably be on his feet again within a
few days. Although Mr. Wood and
young Mr.. Baxter Whitesides, a rela-
tive who was with him have been ar
rested and put under bond. there has
been no legal investigation Of the
matter, and 1t is impracticable to
state facts further than that the
shooting was the result Of mutual bad
blood growing out Of trivial family
differences. Messrs.. Wood and Jack
son are brothers-in-law, the former
being the husband of the latters
sister. 1t is understood that while
Mr.. Wood probably fired first, Mr..
Jackson also fired at Mr.. Wood, and
Mr.. Whitesides was present az a
partisan Of Mr.. Wood. ffs

the Russians will claim that they mis-
took the fishing fleet for some kind OF
a disguised Japanese enterprise and
the matter will wind up with the
cashiering of the Russian commander
who commenced the firing and the
payment Of idemnity to the owners Of
the vessels and the families Of the
killed and wounded fishermen. How
ever, the situation is very grave and
it may easily develop into something
more serious.

Gen. Bobleter and the members of
his staff living here deserve the
thanks and good will of the citizens OF
this place. The general has spared
neither time nor money to make the
visit of this command pleasant one
and his activity in this matter and the
active interest L. G. Vogel has given
by assisting him should be appreciated
by the people. Upon the report made
by this command of the advantages
offered by New Ulm as a place for
target practice may depend the chances
of securing other similar commands
and the possibility of getting encamp-
ments Of infantry such as 60 to Lake
City may mean a good deal to this
place in the future.

New Uln1 Review
Wednesday, October 10, 1904.
Charges Are False.

In his much heralded "vindicatiOn, -
the editor of the Journal makes state
ments which he knows are absolutely
false. He charges the city clerk with
a shortage which at the time stated in
his paper did not exist, and the editor
of the Journal knows this to be fact.
If he had stated the facts as they are
he would have said the present clerk
had followed the custom of the pre-
vious clerk and had retained the
money in the Office which accrued from
the dog tax until he had it all collected
in and then turned the amount over to
the treasurer.
On account of the iteration of the
Journal and it's desire to find some
thing to compromise the city clerk,
the treasurer got scared and asked
that the money be paid. The clerk
told him to come at a specified hour to
his Office and he would get the money,
and when he did SO it was paid over
to him in full, not a cent missing.
There is not the least suspicion that the
clerk had intended to fitch the treasury
and in this respect no cause for the
bOmbastic piece Of libel that appeared
on the front page of the Journal last
week.
Further than this he says that the
council will demand the resignation
of the clerk This is all guess work
The council has had no meeting, has
not conferred on the matter and no
one knows what it is going to do. Is
Mr.. Liesch the city, council, and all?
What right has he to make such
charges words in the mouth of
the council and predict things that
may never come to pass?
More than this if there is any
''vindication' in the matter Mr..
Liesch vindicates himself against him
self, for it was not so much the election
Of Mr.. Bobleter that the people were
seeking as it was the defeat Of the
purposes of Mr.. Liesch, and if he had
kept out of the election there would
probably have been no change; so it
remains that Mr.. Liesch did more to
elect the present city clerk than any
other one agency.

were secured the plan was to place the
targets in Mr.. Huelskamp's corn field
and as it would have been impossible
for him to work in the field while the
shrapnel was bursting there, and the
season was getting late and he wanted
to get his work out of the way. it was
agreed that the corn should be husked
for him.
It SO happened thatwhen the battalion
arrived and the officers came to look
over the grounds they chose other
sites a little beyond for setting up the
targets, in the fields Of Mrs. Buschers
and Jacob Klossner.
Still, the cannon balls passed over
Mr.. Huelskamp's field and as they
make whizzing noise which is cal
culated to strike terror into the heart
of any civilian, it was not possible to
get his work done.
1t was an extraordinary sight to see
the crowd of soldiers with their blue
coats off working away with a zest
among the yellow grain. Their speed
was accelerated by barrel of beer

festivity and General Bobleter and

In the coming election we trust the
voters Of this county will remember
in their selection of the men to vote
for supreme justices that there is not
a better man on the ticket than Judge
Elliott. He is now a district Judge
and his record on the bench has
been clean and impartial. If there is
any one man on the ticket whose de-
feat should be the concern of all it is
Judge Lewis. His connection with the
Texas oil syndicates has cost the peo-
pie of the state many thousands OF
dollars. This fact alone should cost
him the election.

Ruined by Friends.

Out of a mixture of words that sound
like a graduating essay of country
school boy, we gather that the Jour-
nal thinks it is time for this paper to
express itself on the question of the
actions of the city clerk. For the sake
of the friends and also the enemies OF
Mr.. Bobleter we had hoped that this
matter might have been closed up with
as little publicity as possible and all
be spared the humiliation that attaches
to it,
There is this to say, however, and
Mr. Liesch can take what comfort he
wants out of it: when Ed. Bobleter took
hold of the affairs of the Office Of clerk
he was competent. He had by a
supreme effort conquered his appetite
for drink and was endeavoring to make
a man of himself.
He failed, not through his own weak
ness but because in this city as in all
other places there are lot of people
whose only pleasure and principal am
| bition in this world appears to be to
make people go from right to wrong.
| It makes no difference what their weak
ness is, whether it be drinking Or any
thing else, if they can get them to
break over the resolution that is hold
ing them straight, like the human
vampires they are, they laugh and re-
ioice and are 'svindicated.
God knows man at his best is frail
enough. He may sink in sea OF
iniquity and perish and again he may
grab at some straw-the hand OF a
friend outstretched to save him, and
often he succeeds if he is not beset by
these human vultures who lay awake
nights scheming some infamy that
they may bring him down in order to
feed their putrid minds on his carrion.
Dogs will do better and even swine
will not lead their kind to a brink that
they may see them fall over, and we
say right here that men who will pur-
posely set about to Systematically de-
stroy the honor and undermine the re-
solutions of other men are no better;
no, not so good as these.
It is better by far to have tried to
save a man to his family and have
failed than not to have tried at all.
If Mr.. Bobleter, as city clerk, has be-
trayed the confidence Of his friends,
it is not because he set about to do it
in malicious manner but because he
was not let alone by those who mis-
takenly professed to be his friends.
| If Mr.. Liesch can find any satisfac-
ton in this he is welcome to it, and
| he can wave his ''vindication' flag as
he is mind to, the fact remains that
no one is sorry for the result of the
election last spring. 1t is only sad,
| lamentably sad, that young man
| struggling to do right should find no
sympathy or help and only tempta7
ton from those who would rather be
''vindicated" than help to crown a
life with it's greatest glory, that of be-
| ing man in the highest sense of the
word.

HORSES LOVE REMEMBERED
Horse Trader Tells Story of a Long
Search.
Beast Which Saved His Life Stolen
and Long Lost.
Found a Short Time Ago in South
St. Paul Stock Yards.

Equine courage and fidelity, and a
mans gratitude and love for his horse
are in the story told by Joseph Smith,
itinerant horse trader, who passed
through New .Ulm Sunday. It is a
tale of a horse long lost and then found
gain after tireless search to be given
an easy time the rest of its days.
"That," said Smith, as he gently
rubbed swollen leg on a rather sorry
looking animal, 'that is horse with
a history. You wouldn't believe it
maybe, but it's So
''It happened this way" continued
the trader, splitting about pint OF to-
bacco juice at an object two yards off
ana hitting it. Two years ago was
doing business out west in my line and
used to pick up lot of horses good,
bad and Indifferent. When | got hold
of this fellow here I didn't think had
nothing extra until one day that fellow
saved my life. That's what he did.
The horse dealer stopped and collected
his thoughts little before proceeding.
"Never been out in a blizzard in
Wyoming, eh? Well I want to tell
you its tough. This old boy and me
was out in one once and we had the
greatest fight for life you ever seen.
We was way off in the hills and when
the storm came up we didn't have any
cover to 60 to and just kept on until
we got lost.
"The cold began to get terrible and
| the snow blew into our eyes and faces
so that we couldn't do nothing going
against the wind and just turned and
| drifted. That kept up for several
hours and finally became so exhaust
ed that fell from the saddle and lay
in stupor, I guess, gradually freez-
ing, while the snow kept piling on top
of me.
CHOW, what do you suppose that
horse done? Why, he stood right there
over me and kept the wind off me the
best he could and kept breathing his
warm breath into my face for a while,
and then [ guess he had a flash of in
telligence for he got to poking me with
his nose until he got me out of the
stupor and made me get up and move.
That's what he done and he saved my
life.
'HWell," continued the trader, 'sthat
horse was stolen from me about a
year ago and I hunted all over the
west for him but couldn't get track of
him. Then one day about a month ago
in Montana I did get trace and
found he had been shipped with a car
load to South st. Paul.
II took the first train down there,
you bet, and the first thing I did was
to hike over to the corrall. I searched
through the whole bunch of horses
without recognizing my old friend, but
finally heard a whinny that sounded
familiar and walking toward me with
his ears pricked up and the happiest
look you ever see on a horses face
was him.
''He was all poor and sickly look
ing but it was the same old horse and
you bet [ hiked back over to the com
mission man and told him to name his
price. He figured that $50 would be
about right and produced the money
so quick I guess he was sorry he
| hadn't said $75
"You bet that horse is going to
have an easy time as long as I've got
enough to buy feed with
