Initiated Him Into College
Society.

MOUNT VERNON. o.. Nov 3-Having

Of hazing at Kenyon college-Paul Barber
and possibly others, had been. tied to rail-
road tracks the investigation into the death
of young Stuart Pierson was continued to-
day by the coroner
Pierson was killed last Sunday night by
a locomotive at Gambler under circum-
stances which suggested that he might
have been tied to the rails.
Todays testimony In the Pierson inquest
developed the fact that the boy was lying
prostrate on the track when the engine
struck him. The witnesses examined were
President Pierce of Kenyon college, Henry
Beam a student, and w. H. Stump round
house employe who cleaned tho engine after
its arrival al Mount Vernon The previous
evidence that 1t was the custom Of the fra
ternity men TO tie candidates 10 the tracks
was corroborated in today's testimony.
President Pierces examination lasted over
two hours and was severe He said he saw
the marks on the body described as rope
marks, but believed them 10 be only part of
the injuries inflicted by the locomotive.
A week before his death Pierson il was
brought out in the examination, was COM

length Of the village goaded behind by
men with sticks and clubs. and that this
treatment developed deep assesses on his
knees. The bandages which DR.. Workman
placed about the sores were on the body
when It was found.

! cinnati father of the dead student, took
the witness stand about 4 o'clock and it
was after 6 O'Clock when he was allowed
\ to go. He was given most rigid examina-
ton and was compelled to describe the
custom which fraternities use when initial
! Ing candidates. He testified that his son
| left the college alone and he was positive
| that he was not tied on the track. He
said that the members of the fraternity
remained at the college almost half an
| hour after the boy had been sent to the
bridge before they went after him, and
for that reason he knew that his son was
not tied. He took all the blame for ship
ping the body to Cincinnati by special train
without first notifying the coroner Al
the afternoon session members of the So
ciety who were in Gambler Saturday night
and who had charge Of Persons initiation

had been ordered to go to the railroad

On last Friday evening Mrs. }. w.
Campbell entertained the members Of
the Twentieth Century Cub. After a
brief time spent in social intercourse
the following informal program was
given: Mrs. Sutton read Il paper on
current even S; recitation by Mrs. Mel
son; Mrs. Mcclure read an article on
club life; poem by Mrs. Springer; es-
say on library work by Ms. Campbell.
In u floral love tale" contest Mrs.
Merriam won the prize, which was a
handsomely decorated china plae.
At eleven o'clock the very interest
ing meeting was brought to Il close and
delicious lunch was servel,
Following is a portion of the essay
read by Mrs. j. w. Campbell:
"We realize, as a child grows by eX-
ercise, SO with the club. If each one
exercises her mind capacity it will help
enlarge the growth of the club and viii
gradually broaden our minds toward
our ideals. 1t must be an undisputed
fact that there are times which come to
each one of us when we feel that we
would wish to do something for the
betterment and uplifting of mankind,
and there is no other place nor oppor-
tunity better than to do so in our own
home town. Can we cone, i've of a wiser
plan than TO buy books and maintain a
library? 1t is true efforts in that di-
rection have been made before, and do
| hear someone say, oh, that can't be
done. Aye, but friends, the very fact
that efforts were made, and at the time
failed, does it not go to show that "a
goodly number were already interested
and that somehow if correct plans were
laid you surely would meet with sue
cess? 1t is true that we can not expect
good results without firm ambition to
take up such work by banding to-
gether as a loyal Goth century club, say
we will have public library, and we
will invite other organizations to assist
us in this good cause alter we have
made the first move and raised the
first funds. l can not believe friends
that you will meet with opposition. On
the other hand | believe that many are
ready to assist in this work if the OPP
portunity be placed before them.
While the bright days are lcngthening
could we not start the ball to rolling so
that by another fall when the evenings
lengthen, Leavenworth shall see ma
teralized in her domain, a cheerful
library room, furnished and completed,
so that our young men as we'll as all
others shall be made to feel at home
therein, which for its au hor may have
the Goth Century club and prove
blessing to its readers, rendering a
lasting influence for good.

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

GIN stating its position as to
supporting candidates the We
natchee Republic says that the
fact that a candidate is resi-
dent of Wenatchee carries more
weight in the attitude of that
paper than creed, partisanship
or anything else. This is a very
pretty sentiment, but it is the
fms to the political leaning of
that paper, and places it in the
list of independent journals. For
if a paper confines its support to
townsmen, it naturally takes the
side of the individual regardless
of his political affiliations. Such
an attitude would be an anoma-
lous position for a party organ to
assume, and hence a confession
of non partisanship is in order.
However this super-loyalty to
home timber is drawing the line
so fine as to invite antagonism
from the balance of Chelan
county. Palmer Mountain Pros
pector.
In stating the position referred
to by the Prospector the We
natchee Republic placed itself
outside the rank of republican
newspapers. 1t made itself an
independent journal, and is in
future not entitled to conSidera-
ton at the hands of republican
voters or Office holders. Every
republican who lives in We
natchee, whether he holds Office
or expects to be candidate, who
indorses the position of the Re
public, and will only vote for
men who live in Wenatchee,
without regard to politics, will
undoubtedly forfeit the support
and confidence of the republican
party.
Every republican who lives in
Wenatchee has a perfect right
to adopt the course of the Re
public, aud declare that he will
not support a man for office or
place unless he is a citizen of
that town, but in that event the
hand of every republican voter
in Chelan county will be turned
against Wenatchee.
1t would indeed be an anoma-
lous condition of things political
to put a Wenatchee man on the
republican tickat and expect the
republican voters of Chelan
county outside of Wenatchee to
support him, when the republi-
can voters of Wenatchee refused
to support the ticket unless
every man on the county ticket
was a citizen of Wenatchee.
1t had just as well be under
stood, now and here, that the
republican voters of Chelan
county will not stand for politi-
cal dictatiOn at the hands of the
Wenatchee wing of the party.
The convincing evidence they
gave of political unsoundness,
both at the general election and
later at the special election
opened the eyes of all true re-
.publicans. 1t will be a part of
the mission of this paper to keep
them open from this time on.
