The death Of Mr. Whitney has given

how to handle his affairs so as to defeat
any purpose to raid the market at his
death, and his associates would hold 1t

Forty Men Laid Or

The Florence Times says: Sc cnaZ
siderable stir has been created n rail-
road circles by the summary dismissal
of a number Of the employees OF, the
shops to cut down the force. AS
usual the matter has created great
deal # speculation, and rumors are.
rife as to what the cut down means.
Many seem to think that the Coast
Line means to duce this shop more
considerably and do so for the benz
eft Of other shops on the line, yet
for some time there has been work to
keep the whole force busy. The men
say that they were not notified FRI:
day afternoon at knock of time that
their services would not be required
any longer. About forty men are in-.
cluded in the order. about twenty per.
cent. of the force. Mr.. Pearsonal,
master mechanic, when asked concern:
ing the dismissal Of the men said that
he simply had orders from headquart-
ers and executed them, he could add
nothing to the facts as gathered from
the men themselves. The cut is In
every department., and includes as tar
as can be learned twelve machinists,
four boiler makers, three blacksmiths
and number Of carpenters. The.
lick was a sumner to the men, they
we're quite unprepared for it. 1t Is

contributions for the campaign fund.
The appeal says: There are about

try, and to intelligently present the
issues Of the campaign and the records
of the candidates to this vast elector-
ate requires a very large sum Of
money. The Democratic party has

either by promise OF by threats, it
can draw campaign subscriptions; but
must rely for necessary funds upon
patriotic citizens who believe in

in this god year 1904. just look at
the ladies' hat. Now as a matter OF
fact there is nothing in the la:1les'
hats of today to equal the coal-scuttle
hats OF g hundred years ago. They
say, just look at the way people dress
their hair. Do you know the most ex-
treme style OF today will never equal
the top-knots which our great-gEand-
mothers wore put up with high combs
that We would have thought would
have made our great-grandfathers die
of laughter. Their hair was lifted into

Bell Sheppard, the negro who killed
Joe Phillips, at camp meeting two
months ago, was carried from Aneri-
Gus, Ca, to Webster county for trial.
The case consumed the entire day,
the jury returning verdict of guilty
with recommendation Of sentence to
life imprisonment. W. S. Morgan,
the white man whom Sheppard de-
clared hired him to kill Phillips, was
also carried from the Americus jail to

the trouble originated in the burning

Seven Men Lost.

a party OF eight who went down with
the wagon bridge between Lexington
and Purcell, after battling with the
swift rush Of waters for many hours
in a vain attempt to prevent the
bridge from going out. The bridge
was the only connection between the
two towns. And all telegraph and
telephone wires in the south and
southwest portions Of Oklahoma and
the southeastern part Of the Indian
Territory in the flooded districts are
down, information is hard to get, but

a Repub!icau View.

The value of Indiana as campaign
asset makes every political straw from
that state highly important at this
juncture. The public eye is gradual
ly turning towards the Ho,sier voter
for it Is becoming generally recognized
that he is the man on whom hinges
the success OF the Democratic ticket.
One Of the latest indications CT In
diana's attitude is distinctly shown in
a recent editorial expression Of the
Indianapolis News, the personal Or
gan Of Senator Fairbanks. The News
frankly admits that the situation is
puzzling, and this admission is made
after a member OF its staff has made
personal canvass Of the state with a
view to sizing up the situation. The
News says: There is nothing in the
political conditions, as they exist now
in Indiana, that justifes the extrava-
CANT assertions made by the managers
OF any of the parties. The Republi-
cans can justify their declaration that
Indiana will 20 Republican, because
it has been going Republican for al
most ten years-and upon no other
basis as shown by existing conditions.
They say that the people are satisfied
But the polls In numerous places
show an unusually large number OF
voters who will not tel how they in
tend to vote-these are down on the
books as doubtful" and in Indiana
there Is an immense number OF them.
There is another proposition the Re-
publican leaders must get away from
the reported great dissatisfaction
among the Democrats because OF the
nomination OF Parker. II the Re,
publicans expect victory through
Democratic dissensions they might as
well close headquarters and shut up
shop, for these dissensions do not ex-
ist to the extent alleged by the
Republicans. Despite reports to
the contrary, the Democrats are
organizing and for that matter
they are better organized than they
were at this time in the cam
paign OF 1900. About as much dis.
sension exists in the Republican party
as in the Democratic party. The diff
ference is that it is getting to be a
great deal harder to line up the Re.
publicans for their ticket than it is to
get the Democrats back. The rea'
son Is simple. The Republicans feel
that their votes are not needed, any
how, and as they do not like some OF
the things going on they will not vote.
Men who are familiar with the polit!-
cal conditions in Indiana, and who
can speak Of them without bias, know
that if Senator Fairbanks was not on
the national ticket it would be the
tossing Of a copper as to how the state
would CO." This is Republican
view, and in it the Democrats have
certainly much to cheer them.

GOOD AND BAD TRAINING.

Isn't it queer things that come to

little girls decked out in all the intri-
cate labyrinth Of tucks, ruftles, drawn
work; shirring, shocking, piping, en-
oroidery, with their soft hair tortured
into bangs, frizzes, crimps, curls,
waves, braids, puffed, rolled or POM
padoured, as the case may be-, CT as
dame Fashion may decree. While
under that stylish thatch the busy
little brain is teeming with the seeds
of vanity, self-lo7e, pride, envy, dis
content, Jealousy, as ignorant OF the
tender lessons taught by Him who
said, Suffer little children to come
unto me, for of such is the Kingdom
of heaven" as if they had been or
phand in early infancy. Now, II all
this be harsh and untrue our obserVa-
tion is at fault. Mothers, we appeal
to you, to put more OF your time into
the culture OF character Of your chill
dren, and less time on their dress and
mere outward appearance. THE soul
alone endures," and to you it is given
more espt cially to train immortal
souls for eternal happiness or misery.
We see children often who have never
been taught the principals OF doing
unto others as they would wish to be
done by" nor simply trust and love
Him who tenderly placed his hands On
their heads, nor their duty to their
parents, to their elders and to the
poor. 1t is in the early days OF their
young lives that these lessons should
be taught, while their hearts are ten

Steamer Struck Reef.

On Wednesday night tie steamer
BoscoWiz struck a reef on HarbledOWn
island. -Four children were drowned.
The crew ard 185 other passengers
were saved. The news Of the disas.
ter was brought by the steamer Cas-

Vancouver to northern British Colum-

200 Indian passengers bound for vari-
GUS settlements up the coast. The
passengers were taken ashore and the
drowning of the four children occurred
in connection with the launching OF a
small boat. The BoscoWiz was an old
