Roost velt to Gov. Davis

Did ever you see man skinned alive
snd his hide hung upt u the collar bean =?
But that is tut what President Roose-
welt did the orher day to jeff Davis, lhe
Governor OF Arkansas. great recrp-
ton WIS given the President, go 900
people joining In the tremendous ovation.
Mr.. Davis declared that Arkansas was II
great and mighty State, that her people
were the best In the country, that he
virtually placed the rest of the Union on
the defensive. The last part of his
speech WAS devoted to something BE-
tween al apology for and defence OF
lynehing. He emphasized the beinous
character of the crime by which, as The
Governor asserted, lynchings are usually
caused, and he did not take the pains u
admit that there are any good negroes.
1t then came Mr.. Roosevelt's turn to
speak. With voice raised and arms
lifted in repeated gestures he rebuked
Gov. jefferson Davis for his position on
lynch law. The enormous crowd could
hardly be induced to stop cheering. The
Governor brought the catastrophe upon
I himself deliberately, and he WAS rolled
| lAt as though with steam roller.
A little later in his speech the Pres =
dent again TUNED TO the perspiriue
| Governor. "Governor," he said, "yuu
spoke of henous crime that is often
henously avenged. The worst enemy
of the negro race is the negro criminrl,
and above all the negro criminal of that
type; for he has committed not only an
unspeakably heinous and infamous crime
against the victim but he has committed
Il heinous crime against the people OF his
own color, and every reputable cOlorrd
man, every colored man who wishes 10
see TO uplifting Of his race, owes it MS
his first duty 10 himself and to that race
to hunt down that criminal with all his
soul and strength. Great applause
New for the side Of the white nj II.
To avenge one heinous crime by another
heinous crime is to reduce the man no.

committed the hesti4l crime. Great
applause and cheers The horrible eff
feets of lynch law are shown in the fac
that three-fourtbs of the lynchings are

Death of Marc.Ilus Freeman

At Durham, september %, occurred
the death of Marcellus Freeman, former
~ of Cornville, aged IS years. The
cause of death was locomotor ataxia.
The funeral was held the Sunday follow
ing his death Rev. j. G. Prince of
Lisbon Fails officiating. The interment
was at ornyille.
The many flowers that were cOntribu.
ted by the neighbors at Durham showed
with what high esteem Mr. Freeman
WAS held. Mr.. Freeman had been twice
married His first wife was Miss
Hannah Butler, daughter of MIR. and
Mrs Joseph Butler of Cornviiie His
second wife was Mrs. Nellie Williams,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j II Ward
of Solon, who died some four years
since
For the past three years Mr. Freeman
had made a pleasant home with his
brother-in law, William II Ward. Mr..
Ward moved to Durham some eight
months since and Mr. Freeman accom-
panied him. In Mr.. Freeman's brief
stay in Durham he had made many
friends, who mourned his hasty de-
parture. At Mr. Freeman's coming to
Durham he appeared to be enjoying a
fair degree of health, but soon showed
signs of failing health.
Mr. Freeman was tenderly cared for,
Mr. and Mrs Ward leaving nothing un-
done that would add to his comfort in
the closing hours of lite MIR Freeman
passed out with feeling of calm recon
ciliaton that Gods will be done.

If one were asked to name the beset-

truthfully reply: "criticism.
They criticise everybody, but are es
pecially severe on the other woman.
What she wears how she keeps her
house, how she manages her children,
all are interesting topics when two or
more women meet. In cities and large
villages where life is broader, the fault
is not 80 pronounced as IN country
places where one knows every one else.
If the women would only take charity
as their watchword: If, when one
speaks cuttingly of another, the one adj
dressed would endeavor to say kindly

the example would be great

in the fact that they have nothing else

One of the most daring and dis istroua
burglaites that bar teen known In
Maine for many years was committed
at ohaamut. early saturday morning
The general store of {. Guy Hume, in
which WAS also located the village post
Office, a pool room and pubic hall, was
broken into. robbed aud hired eutailing
loss of about $4,000
The building was owned by the shaw
NUT Manufacturing Company, was a
two stored structure Of wood and
valued at $500 There was an insurance
of $1,000. The stock in trade Of Mr.
Hume was valued at about $4,000 and
there WAS an insurance of 1880 with
5000 on the fixtures and $500 on the
fixtures in the pool room The safe
was blown and from it was taken cash
amounting to s400, valuable papers and
several articles Of value
The burglary was discovered by a man
who lives directly across the street and
who, between 3 and 4 O'clock. Saturday
morning, discovered fire In the store
The alarm was given and every effort
made by the local firemen to save the
building but the flames had taken such
a hold upon the interior of the store
that all efforts were unavailing.
During the progress of the fire several
men succeeded in entering the burning
building in efforts to save some of the
goods These men dis .overed that the
safe had been blown open and that the
fire had started near it. 1t is now sup
posed that while the burglars did not
intentionally set fire to the building,
the blaze originated from blankets
which had been wrapped around the
safe 10 deaden the sound of the ex-
plosion and which had become ignited
by the explosion. These blankets had
evidently been scattered about when the
burglars rifled the safe and, falling
among light material, had hred the
place From the safe were taken sever
al certificates of corporation stock, the
private property of MIR. Hume. The
other contents of the safe were badly
burned and in some instances entirely
destroyed

Several weeks ago while Sheriff Smith
was on hunting trip in the northern
part of Somerset county, man, well
known to him, called at the jail Office to
make a statement and Deputy sheriff
Goodrich, who was acting in the sheriff
absence, took him to the Office of well
known law firm and required him make
the statement, which he did. When
sheriff Smith returned and had been
told the story he hunted up the man and
again the same story was told. That
story is substantially az follows:
The man, whose name the sheriff holds
q secret, stated that he had been mixed
up with burglars who had been doing
business in this State He had quit them
because they had not been fair with him
in the division of the spoils. He declar-
ed that his whole object in interviewing
the sheriff was that of revenge or to get
even He declared that the gang had
planned to rob the postoffice at Shaw
nut and a bank at Phillips.
The informant gave the names of the
three men VINO were to make the breaks,
two of these persons who are known to
thu officers, cOrresponded TO the descrip-
ton OF men seen at Shawmut the

Der of gang participating in those
crimes, going TO an officer of the law to
peach on his fellows because he had not
been fairly treated by the others in the
division of the spoils. Yet what the
peaeher stated has come to be true
Sheriff Smith knows where this man ia
and that he WAS not connected with the
breaks at Phillips and Shawmut and the
breaks came off as the man had said
they were scheduled to come off.
Within week the members of this
gang made the two breaks by which
they secured about $1100 and whether
they intended visiting other places in
