solemn as Sinai In eloquent words there
was unfolded the grandeur of the Amer
lean commonwealth, coming in a little
more than q hundred years from few
feeble colonies to be the mightiest ma
ton in the world. And the march of
development continues apace. Every age
is as a cycle, and every decade as an
epoch
Citizenship Strength of Nations.
In speaking Of citizenship. the bishop
said that the strength of every nation
is measured by the quality of its citizen
ship The glory OF Greece went down
with the decay of her citizenship. Glow
ing tribute was paid to the widespread
influence Of the pure mother character of
Queen Victoria.
The bishop holds the theory that it is
every mans duty to enter politics-poli-
tics in its high and true meaning. 1t is the
duty Of the young men to look to the
political welfare of the land. The famous
saying OF Edward Burke was cited In
emphasis of this duty; "IIe who sleeps
on his duty is as truly a traitor as he
who goes over to the enemy" Our young
men should make politics profession.
Peril OF Corrupt Ballot.
A word was spoken in behalf of the
majesty of the law. Let us enthrone the
majesty Of the law, said the bishop lie
did not believe in reformation by hatchets,
even in Kansas.
We should be jealous of the guardian
ship Of the elective franchise. A corrupt
ballot is the peril OF the republic. The
country is safe so long as our morallties
are preserved, so long as our homes are
pure, and SO long as our women are true.

Negroes Arrested.
Three arrests were made yesterday in
the case, and John smith, a negro, is in
the county jail, pending an investigation.
Miss Fowler and Mr.. Fowler, before he
died, stated that the negro answered the
description of the one who shot Mr.. Fow-
Ter Monday night, although neither could
be positive.
Chief Gray of Woodlawn is by no
means sure that this is the right negro.
Some time ago Mr.. Fowler shot and killed
a dog belonging to some member of the
negro's family, and it is said that the
negro made threats against Mr. Fowler.
The negro, however. denied knowing any
thing of the affair. and says that he has
never threatened to hurt Mr.. Fowler in
any way
The negro was captured at Robertson s
brick yard by a posse headed by Chief
Gray and Deputy Sheriff HILL lie was
taken to the Fowler home, and three
negro women commenced abusing the Off
GERS. They were arrested and are in
the county Jail on charge of abusive
language. Their names are Myrtle Ma
son, Jessie Johnson and Susie Gray.
Woman CIubbed.
One of the negro women attempted to
strike Chief Gray and in a general scuffle
which followed she was dubbed severity
There was much Indignation expressed
by the people gathered at the house, and
at one time 1t looked as If the negro
might get some rough handling from the
crowd, but the officers prevented any
trouble.
Yesterday morning several posses of
citizens were organized and they searched
all over Woodlawn and vicinity for a
negro answering the description of the
one who shot Mr.. Fowler. When Smith
was arrested and carried to the wounded
mans bedside Mr. Fowler stated that
he thought it was the right negro, on ae-
count of popularity in his talk. Chief
Gray, however. does not think 1t is the
right man.
The officers are still working on the
case and hope to make some progress to-
day. They are trying to trace Smiths
movements on Monday night before and
after the shooting.
