Calmly. without complaint upon
his lips OF murmured protest IN
his heart. a soldier, statesman,
orator. thinker, than whom Ken
tucky has nurtured few greater
sons. has passed out of mortal
presence
Whether the tongue whose ca
denoes men were wont to liken
unto silver is hushed in eternal
silence, or released from the tenn
porary f tiers of the last malady,
awakes to sing amid new and
transoendant glories, We cannot
look behind the impenetvable veil
to see, but this much is true that
neither death nor change can, for a
single moment. rob his neighbors
or his race of the impress of his
lofty thought, nor that of the al
most sublime genius of his soul.
He passed as the soldier passes,
meeting the last enemy with the
same stoicism, the same gallant
and dashing front with which he
had faced every other antagonist
in his singulary useful and busy
life or dared every other danger on
every other field. It is to be re-
GREETED that voice and conscious
ness had been denied him when
the grestnight gathered, as those
who sat about his couch and in
awe and anxiety awaited the dread
ed moment were thus robbed of
the whispered good by and the
responsive God-speed till they
should oIasp hands again accord
ing to promise.
Measuring its loss by the height
and depth of the single life that is
gone out, the whole community
joins with those who feel this sor-
row deepest. and the first thought
of those who knew the dead and
know the living is that of sympa-
thy that cannot altogether be told
in words; and as he passes out
upon the arm of death-the ser
want and not the master-to the
great white camp just across on
the other side of the hill where
the friendly "shade of the trees"
shelters his old comrades of the
deathless sixties, and where We

MINISTER.
Locked up on Charge of Counter
feiting.

Locked up on Charge of Counter
feiting.
Huntington, w. Va,-Word
was received here Sunday nigh
that Rev. Washington Hagar
a prominent Lincoln county
preacher, is in Jail at Hamlin
charged with counterfeiting.
Hagar, who comes from the
waters of Mud river, is alleged
to have passed a two-dollar bill
there that had been raised to ten
dollars on James Porter, ex-
sheriff of Lincoln county, and
another on Crockett Booth, OF
Hadley.
Porter and Booth did not dis
cover that they had been duped
until several hours afterwards.
Then Constable Robert Snod-
grass was gfven warrants for the
arrest of the preacher-counter-
feiter.
The officer found Hagar preach
ing at Big Ugly. He walked
into the crowded meeting house
and up to the pulpit, arresting
the preacher in the midst of his
sermon. He was taken to Ham
lin and, after a preliminary hear
ing before justice, was held to the
grand jury.
The arrest of the preacher is
probably the beginning of the
end of the long search of the
Lincoln county officials and de-
partment officers who had also
been detailed on the case, for the
man who has been circulating
raised bills in that neighborhood
for the past few months.
Several dadley and daml1n
merchants were victimized by the
bills, which are so cleverly raised
that it takes an expert to detect
them. One Hamlin merchant
brought several to this city last
week, thinking that they were
bona fde ten dollar bills, and
Huntington wholesalers to whom
he presented them In payment of
bills had hard time convincing
him that they were counterfeits.
If Hagar is the man who has
been wanted SO long for such
transactions, it is possible that
his operations have been extern
sive, as the raised bills have
turned up in Charleston, CIarks-
burg and even at Portsmouth.
