ICELEss COLD STORAGE.

When ice storage is not feasible an unrefrigerated house, built on the same lines. but with only one room, answers the purpose nearly as well. If this house is built into side hill it is easier to regulate the temperature. One or more air spaces fin the walls are essential. The temperature of this house is controlled entirely by ventila- tion. In summer and fall the windows or vcntilating fiue are opened during the night, when the air is coolest, and are closed very early in the morning. In Northern states a temperature of about fifty degrees may be maintained at this season in this way. The cold air may enter through windows, wooden dues or tile flues, the latter two being placed near the floor and extending through the wall and several feet out side. The house should, of course, be frostproof-The Garden Magazine.

When Assistant Attorney General
Gentry came here during the es-
sion of the circuit court he found
matters so different from what they
had been represented to him that
he was greatly surprised and did
not hesitate to say So. Instead of
a community of desperadoes, law
breakers and cut-throats, thirsting
for gore, he found a people as law
abiding and peacable as can be
found anywhere. AS c%orrespon-
dent to the Republic, in a especial"
l made mention of MI. Gentry's
impressions, and the editor of that
paper promptly "cut it out" 1t
could afford, through the mouths
of the accused, to SANDER and
villify a whole community, but
would not give place for the truth
as honestly stated. The foregoing
paragraph, taken from Saturdays
issue, is the cap sheaf to four
months continued villification. 1t
is a tissue of faisehood. Mrs.
Spaugh did not "request her bonds
men to withdraw from her bond;"
on the contrary, Davi9 Walker,
the principal bondsman, refused to
continue on it longer. Arthur's
wound was dressed three times
while here, and the attendant sur
geon asserts that he has seen men
in worse condition blowing in the
field. The demonstrations" said
to have occurred while the prison.
ers were here last week are fig
ments of their brains and lashings
of their fears. That their con-
sciences made them afraid, | have
no doubt; but it is despicable in a
journal of assumed decency and
fairness to give them the SEM
blance of reality. John w. Polk
was a good man, a faithful officer,
and of as kindly heart as ever
beat. He was wantonly, cruelty,
brutally murdered. But the St.
Louis papers have voiced no re-
grets for his untimely taking off;
have had no expressions of SYM
pathy for his widowed wife or the
children left fatherless. No! All
these are lavished upon the "boys"
whose whole lives have been
synonymous with law-breaking
and wrong-doing, eliminating in
this grave offense. | think it out
rageous beyond expression.

AN exchange from the city has
an article on "Prize Package Jour-

l don't believe in offering a china
tea set or a Village Library as, an
inducement to subscribers. If a
paper is worth the price asked for
it, its patrons should be satisfied
with a fair return for their money,
and the paper itself ought to have
sufficient pride to stand pat on
that. The Globe De- ocrat-stand-
ing as the antithetis to nearly
everything hold to politically
is to be commended in that it al
lows the paper to sell itself. 1t
offers no prizes, and does not
vaunt itself as a public benefactor.
1t permits the reader to set the
value upon its work and let's it go
at that. And this | call dignified

temporaries would do we'll to

THE word prejudice" was OF
frequent use during the determin-
alton of the application of the
Spaughs for change of venue. 1t
was on the ground that the citi-
zens of Iron county we're ''preju-
diced against them that the at
torneys for the defense made their
plea. Several witnesses stated
Honestly, in their conception OF
the meaning of the term that they,
as we'll as their neighbors, were
"prejudiced." The court itself
assumed there was. great ''preju-
dice" against the defendants. His
Honor did not condemn the peo-
pie therefor; in fact, he said il
was "a natural and proper preju-
dice" l beg the courts pardon,
but it seems to me neither he MOI
the witnesses used the term prop
erly. A ''p~rejudice' is perforce a
deduction from false premises, OF
born OF the desire of it's possesso1
against and despite the pleadings
of reason and justice. Therefore,
to me, the term, "proper preju-
dice" is as inadmissible as would
be that of righteous unrighteous-
ness. 1 quote from Webster's
Unabridged:
PREJUDICE-An opinion or de-
cision of mind formed without due
examination; prejudgment; a bias
or leaning toward one side or the
other OF a question from other con-
~siderations than those belonging
to it; an unreasonable prediction
or prepossession for or against
any thing; especially, an opinion
or leaning adverse to any thing
formed without proper grounds, or
before suitable knowledge.
In view of the above it seems to
me that we sometimes confound
"preiudice" with proper feeling
and righteous denunciation. Take
the case in instance. Every right
minded citizen detests the crime
the defendants committed Ct do
not use the ~hildering, skulking
''alleged"), and his utmost desire
is to see justice done, according
to the law and the evidence" If
these things make him incompe-
tent, where, in the name of the
Almighty, are you going to ecure
a just and ''unprejudiced" jury?

So SHE might cheer her sons in
the lonely hours of their confine-
ment, Mrs. Mary E. Spaugh re-
quested her bondsmen to with
draw from her bond, and accom-
panied her sons, William and
Arthur Spaugh, to st. Louis and
the city Jail, where they all are
prisoners. 81 want to be with
them,' she said yesterday after
their arrival from Ironton. 81 can
be of some service to them and
comfort them in their lonesome
moments. | love my boys and
will stand by them to the end.
They are not guilty of wilfully
numbering Sheriff Polk and should
not be a~djudged guilty of murder"
The Spaughs are charged with the
murder of Sheriff John w. Polk of
Iron county in Ironton, while their
mother is held on a charge of be-
ing an accessory to the crime.
They were returned from Ironton,
where they wer taken two weeks
ago for a preliminary hearing.
They will remain in Jail here for
safe-keeping until their cases are
called for trial in C%entreville,
Reynolds county, a change of
venue having been secured be-
cause of the prejudice against them
said to exist in Iron county. The
Spaughs declare that they were in
constant fear for their lives when
they were in Ironton, and that two
demonstrations were made at the
Jail to incite mob violence. I'M
mediately after their return to the
city Jail DR.. w. S. Lawrence of the
city dispensary vas called to dress
Arthur Spaugh's wounded leg. He
is still suffering from the wound
which he sustained when a mob
attacked the Ironton Jail and fred
several shots at the brothers,
wounding both several months
ago. Arthur said his leg was
dressed only once while he and his
brother were confined in the IRON
ton Jail awaiting a hearing-S.

Since the date Of the %apprehen-
sion Of these murderers, the St.
Louis papers have constantly given
space to the Spaughs and those in
terested for them in their vitu-
peration of the law-abiding and
long-suffering citizens Of this COM
munity. Any old lie invented by
the criminals to create sympathy
for themselves and to blacken the
characters Of our best people freely
gained place under glaring head

with mis- brother, afterwards NOV
ing to Lexington, where he married
Mrs. Timberlake. He was emf

county as Legislator and district

ant United States District Attorney

Whatever views the editors may
