eminent of the people, by the
people and for the people. why.
then, should not each representa-
tive citizen be there and voice his
sentiments. There is often a great
hue and cry about machine rule
but when the complaint is sifted
down it is found that the kickers
are the very fellows who stayed at
home and did none of the work
and assumed none Of thu respon-
sibility. Let every Democrat at
tend the convention, make his
Eight for his choice, and whether
you win or lose make up your
mind to support the nominees

there is strength. Remember the
motto of the common wealth:

SOCIALISM UNCHRISTIAN.

Chicago, May 2S.-Socialism
was condemned as unchristian and
contrary to the teachings of the
Bible, said Rev H. Halverson OF
Green Bay. Wis, at recent ses.
sion of the Norwegian Lutheran
Synod. THE right of the indi-
yidual to possess property is God
given" said Doctor Halverson.
"The property we possess or right
fully acquire is gift from God
which we should use according TO
His will for the benefit of our.
selves and others. 1t is wrong to
despise all earthly possessions.
The principles of Socialism are
not founded on the Scripture
They are contrary to the teach.
ings of Christ and should be ayoi
ded by all true christian men and
women"

WANT HANDS OFF.

The government Of Russia has
plainly intimated to foreign gov.
ernments that it wants no inter.
ference by the Powers in its wal
with Japan. Any moe in that
direction can only be taken after
great change in the present mil.
itary situation-that is, when the
military prestige of Russia is re-
stored-both because of lis effect
upon the japanese and her future
in the far East. There is no doubt
that before the commencement of
hostilities Russia greatly un
ted the power of the japanese gov
eminent and the prowess of Jap
anese soldiers, and she is now be.
ing rudely disabused of that fatal
error by an almost unbroken line
of brilliant japanese victories.
To stop the war now would be to
destroy Russian influence in the
far East, and this is worth fight
ing for.

FAMILY MURDERED; HOME BURNED.
A Mysterious QuadrupIe Tragedy In South
Carolina.

Columbia, S, C.. (SpcciaD. B. B
Hughes, aged d years, his wife, Eva
about the same age. and two daughters
emily and Hattie), 10 and IS years
old, respectively, constituting an entire
family, are dead. at Trenton, Edgefeld
county, and nothing remains to explain
The mystery OF the tragedy.
Citizens of the town were aroused at
5 o'clock in the morning by fire at the
Hughes house, and upon reaching the
scene the flames had gained such head
way that it was impossible TO enter the
burning building, and not until the fire
had burned itself out and the walls had
collapsed was it discovered that the
family was dead.
The bodies of the two girls were found
in their bed with the heads OF both
crushed in. The body of Mrs. Hughes
was in a room across the hall. Her
head also was crushed and a pillow lay
over it, while the body OF Hughes lay
near the door with bullet wound
through the left temple. ., pistol with
one empty chamber lay near his right
hand.
Hughes was a merchant and farmer,
and was supposed to be prosperous.
There is no reason known why he
should have been murdered, as he was
on good terms with the white and col
ored people OF the community. The
conditions surrounding the crime all
point strongly 10 Hughes as the murder
er of his entire family and to subse-
n1lent suicide

tuIl OF disagrecments with her counsel
as to whether she should waive cxam-
nation and go to Cleveland, Mrs. Chad
wick finally consented to remain another
night i'll the Tombs.
Mrs. Chadwick lad made I'D her mind
to ignore the advice of her local coun-
sell MesSrS. Carpenter and Powers, and
go TO Cleveland TO stand trial there,
when late in the afternoon, she received
a telegram from her Cleveland counsel.
Judge Albaugh b, asking her not to return
to Cleveland just yet.
Lawyer Carpenter then notified Mar
shall Henkel of her intention, and the
Marshal and United States Commission
err Shields announced that they would
not remain at their Offices after the
usual closing hour on her account.
Lawyers Carpenter and Powers had a
conference after leaving Mrs. Chadwick,
and Mr. Carpenter said that nothing fur
Their would be done for Tie night
FEAR OF SUICIDE.
For fear that Mrs Chadwick might do
herself bodily harm, Marshal IIenkcI
had woman attendant specially de-
tailed to watch her all night from with
out the cell, but near enough to be at
hand at a moments notice
Mrs. Chadwick spent the greater part

lawyers and others who called to see
her, including her son, Emil. and her
nurse. Freda. Most OF her visitors re-
NAMED with her as long as the prison
rules would permit
Mrs. Chadwick was led to her cell III

4 o'clock. To the matron Mrs Chad
wick said:
Il am tired enough to sleep well, |
think, even behind these awful bars. 1t
has been an extremely trying day and
I am thankful that it is over. I do
not care to go through many more such
ordeals."
In her cell Mrs. Chadwick ate a
hearty supper. She had chopped beef,
sprinkled with grated onion. coffee and
oranges.

A TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER
japanese Moved Down By the Hundreds
at Port Arthur.
WILL NOW STARYE The RUSSIANS.
First Complete Story Of the Greatest Battle
In Front OF Port Arthur Since the Fortress
Was lnvested-Fufle Efforts TO Enyelop
City From the East and West-Desperate
Rushes Over the Bodies OF the Dead.

A thrilling story of the latest genera
assault upon Port Arthur by Genera
Nogis army is told by correspondent
with the army in dispatch dated No
'embcr 20 and received by cable dircc,
from Tientsin, the dispatch having prob
ably been held at headquarters for cen
sorshlp. The correspondent says thai
while one force attacked the forts al
Rihlung and Kekwan Mountains, with
view 10 enveloping the city from the
east, another force tried similar move
ment from the west. The attempt failed
after the most furious fighting since Port
Arthur was invested In the terrific
attack the Japanese were moved down
by hundreds.
Captain Clado OF Admiral Rojest-
vensky's squadron, who has been OPP
posing the admiralty by agtating in
favor of forcing the Dardanelles and
sending the Black Sea fleet 10 reinforce
the Russian Second Pacific squadron in
ST. Petersburg, has been arrested in St
Petersburg. 1t appears that Viceroy
Alexieff instigated Clado's agitation and
that he will be rebuked by being rele-
gated to the Caucasus as viceroy.
In the fighting of November 30 the
second son OF General Nogi, command
or of the Japanese army before Port
Arthur, was killed on 2o3 Meter Hill.
General Nogi's eldest son was killed in
the battle of Nanshan and he is now
childless.
In official quarters in London it IS
learned that an investigation induced
by the renewed suggestions OF sending
ont the Russian Black Sea fleet shows
that most of the ships of that squadron
are dismantled and laid up.
Surprise is expressed in St. Peters
burg that the Russian warshipS at Port
Arthur, when under fire, were not NOV
ed out and sunk in deep water, where
they would be beyond the possibility of
salvage. At Toxic it is stated that in
disabling the Russian feet so as to pre-
vent it reinforcing the Russian second
Pacific squadron the japanese accom-
plished the chief object OF their des-
perate assaults upon the fortress, and it
is now probable that they will rely upon
starving out the Russian garrison.
