3Oth, 1881, and departed this lie at
his home near Winterville. Va, Feb
ruary 21st, 1904, seventy three years
of age
He left a sorrowing family to mourn
their loss. Yes; they mourn their
loss. because it Is great both to them
and the community. There is an
aching void In the hearts OF his loved
ones; for there is no one else TO NIL
his place. He was a good father and
kind husband, and we loved him so
much, and we know that he loved us.
He left a wife, seven children, forty
four grand children and great grand.
children. He always remembered
each OF these dear ones every Cnrlst
mas. giving them confectionaries.
So many times while he was sick, ne
would say, "where are my children"
and he would say to them, az

HIMMEIMAN is A LOSER.
Fire at Sioux City Destroyes His Bill
lard ParIor--Loss So, 1000.

From Mondays Daily.
Reports of the disastrous fire at Sioux
City last Friday night failed to chronicle
the loss that was sustained by f. j.
Zimmerman of this city, having recently
transferred his home here from Sioux
CITY. Mr.. Zimmerman was the owner
of the large billiard parlor located on
Fourth street in the midst of the block
where the confagration ragged the fer
cest and the third door from Pelletier's
department store, where the fire origin
ated. The property owned by Mr.. Him
melman and absolutely destroyed
amounts to about $4,000. Up to July
% last he carried 81 500 of insurance on
this property, and is uncertain whether
the agent saw to it that the policy was
renewed. He will therefore be the loser
bv either $4,000 or $500.
Paul Leader, who lost $4,000 hotel
in the fire at Sioux City, is a former
resident of Nicollet and still has rel
atives there and friends and acquaint-
ances in this city, who very much regret
his loss.

would not be used simply as a reward
for political work. 1t was further
reported that Mr.. Johnson gave his as
surance that he would appoint whatever
man the prominent democratic workers
of this locality agreed upon. Candidates
for the position have been interviewing

few days after the opening day of the
legislature.
"The charge that the commission has
legislated instead of revised and codi-
fled is not supported by the facts. The
commission has taken the laws as it
found them. They had not been re-
vised in nearly forty years. There were
many contradictory chapters involving
Che same general principle of law. We
have rewritten the laws where there
were contradictions, using the last law
on the subject as criterion, but elm
mating verbiage, repetitions and contra
dictions, and making compact laws.
'One charge against the commission
is that we have changed the tax laws.
This is entirely untrue, for the commits
sion has taken special care to make no
changes in the text of the tax laws, eX-
cept as to reducing the number of laws
where this could be done without chang
ing their meaning. This is also true of
the laws relating to corporations, and
there is but one addition to the penal
code. Changes in the game laws relate
primarily to the theory upon which evil
dence shall be considered, and the change
is that certain evidence shall be con-
elusive.
"The whole range of subjects has been
changed in no great particular. The
lions of the legislature, and the report
of the commission will reach the legis-
lature in ample time to be carefully
considered and digested at the session
to open Tuesday, Jan. 2"

LASH FOR WIFE BEATERS.
Presidents Message Spurs Washing
ton Men to Take Action.

Presidents Message Spurs Washing
ton Men to Take Action.
Washington, Dec. 27.-In consequence
of 4 single passage in President Roose-
velt's annual message to congress, Il
movement has been started in the Dis
trict of Columbia which may result in
the establishment of the whipping post
in the national capital for wife beat
ers. In his message the president said:
There are certain offenders, whose
Icriminality takes the shape of brutality
and cruelty toward the weak, who need
a special type of punishment. The wife
beater, for example, is inadequately pun
ished by Imprisonment, for imprison-
ment may often mean nothing to him,
while it may cause hunger and want to
the wife and children who have been the
victims of his brutality. Probably some
form of corporal punishment would be
the most adequate way of meeting this
kind of crime.
Interviews with clergymen, police Of
touch with the criminal classes and I'M
derstand the brutalizing influence of the
man who beats his wife, show that there
is strong sentiment in favor of set
ting up the whipping post in the capital
of the nation. Right Rev. Henry Y.
Satterlee, bishop of Washington, said:
| | am in favor of the lash for wife
beaters. Moreover, | would be in favor
of carrying this form of punishment fur
Their, making it apply to other than the
wife-beating class. l think it would be
good thing if the law provided that
persons attempting assassination should
be whipped, say, once year, and | be-
lieve we should soon see a falling off in
a class of crimes which have become far
too common.
The Rev. John NJ. Schick, pastor of
the presidents church, said:
Under the conviction that laws are
rarely remedial, and that only towards
are frightened from crime by enforce
ment of law, l believe that the estab-
lishment of the whipping post is, per-
haps, the best means to frighten
through fear of personal suffering, the
coward who would beat a wife.
For the past seven years / have
been favorable to the establishment of
the whipping post for wifebeating fiends
and thieves said Major Richard Sylves-
ter, superintendent of police.
