Christmas time has come again.
Many celebrate this great holiday
merely from custom, without ever
considering it's origin. God, look
ing down upon a world which He
had created, and seeing that sin
did abound, resolved to give
heavens brightest jewel as an
atonement for sin. Searching the
rich mines of heaven He could
find no gem half SO precious as
His only begotten son, whom He
gave as a sacrifice for a sinful
world.
On Judea's mountain wild
There was born a little child,
As a sacrifice for sin,
The benighted soul to win.
Mild He lays his glory by;
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born TO give them second birth.
Lige Brooks and Emory Ed
monds, who have been working in

FOLK says that he appointed
Mat. w. Hall warden of the peni-
Tertiary, because of his fitness for
the place, and for that reason
solely. Now, a good many believe
Hall was made warden because
he was a "Folk man" That with
Folk outweighs every other con-
sideration for place. Fitness or
Democracy 'cuts NO ice"-Folk-
ism and Folkism alone, is the
saving grace.

they villified and denounced Mr.

THE following appeared in last
Fridays Globe Democrat, telegraph
ed from Rolla, Mo-:
Former Senator H. H. Hohen-
schield was publicly and severely
assaulted on the streets of Rolla,
at noon to-day, by Col. Chas. L.
Woods, editor of the Rolla Herald
Democrat. An enormous crowd
witnessed the affair and public
opinion generally sustains the
editor, Woods, as the former sem
ator has for years made attacks,
claimed to be of a slanderous ma
ture, upon him. Senator Hohen-
schield has for twelve years been
engaged in an unrelenting fight
upon the management of the
School of Mines, located here, and
has boosted that, through his in
fluence as State Senator, nine
years ago, Thomas L. Ruby, re.
cent candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, and instructor in English ii
the school, and w. B. Richards
former director of the school, were
summarily removed from Office,
Senator Hohenschield was a bitter
enemy of the late Rev. John D.
Vincil of St. Louis, chairman o.
the executive committee of the
School OF Mines. Since DR.. Vim.
ellis death the ex-senator has re.
doubled his efforts to overthrow
the management of the school fol
the main purpose, tits understood
of securing the removal of Col
Woods from his position as secre'
tary of the executive committee o:
the institution, as we'll as those
who have been closely related tc
the latter officially. Tonight 6
large number of citizens, headed
by the Rolla band, marched to the
residence of Woods and serenadec
him.
And the citizens got the bano
together and went out and sere'
naded Mr.. Woods for giving Arch
itect Hohenschield a drubbing
Well, that is rubbing it in, sure!

This has a familiar ring. History

George Washington and his COM
peers set about establishing a gov

heed the warning, and the con-

this to be said for King Georges

publicity has been given to executions

Thursday.
Vhe passage Of a law that such adj
ministratiOns Of the death penalty shall

step In the right direction.
Bnt after that has been done IL Is
Still better TO have the death penalty
gD into effect with as little Of the SEN
sational as possible.
1t is not the highest compliment to
oom civilization that we must take
sIwRy human life to satisfy the demands

But while this concession to imper.
feet socicl conditions must be made
let it be stripped OF the expansive de-
dails as far as public safety will per.
unit.
1t IS 10 be hoped that the attendance
of crowd, and the publication Of last
statements, and conversations with the
prisoner will be reduced to a mini
mum. NNRS
A lecent respect for the living should
spare them these details Of misfortune

be kind TO be cruel, but in this in.
stance IL is kindness to all con

attend any execution.
The officers of the law, the officers

who are entitled TO be present. This

new pace in reporting such events as
briefly as possible.

should be adhered to. The resolution

bile on Heavy Grade,

Mrs. John H. Albert was seriously
injured in an automobile accident last
evening. It happened just across the
bridge in Polk county, and, while Mrs.
Albert's injuries are serious and pain
full, it is not thought that they are
dangerous. She will be confined to her
bed for several weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Albert and
Mrs. Harry G. Albert were out riding
yesterday evening, and in order to
test new hill.climbing apparatus
which Mr.. Albert had just put on his
machine, they started up the side road
which leads from the Wallace road up
to the old abandoned rock quarry,
about half a mile west Of the big
bridge When nearly up the hill the
steam gave out, the machine stopped,
and began TO back down the hill. Re-
alizing his danger at once, Mr.. Albert
tried to throw on the emergency brake,
but this would not work. As the ma
chine was gaining velocity every in
slant, and as the road was very mar
row, he decided TO steer 1t so that it
would back up on the uphill side of the
road, and thus stop. II was going too
fast, however, and, instead Of stopping,
mounted the embankment, rolled over
on its side and threw the occupants out
into the rock road. Mr.. Albert and
Mrs. Harry Albert escaped without in.

fracture Of the collar bone, lower jaw,
and three ribs, besides numerous bruis-

The accident happened about s o clock
and a cab was Immediately summoned
from the city, and Mrs. Albert was
removed to her nome as quickly as pos.
sible, where medical assistance was
Although her injuries are
painful, she spent a surprisingly easy
night, and her physicians are very hope
full. Mrs. Albert is about 60 years of
age, and has been in very delicate
health for long time. That she es-
capped from instant death is miraculous.

NICE SCHEME Fooled.
How Former Farm Hand Attempted
to Blk" Uncle Sam.

from saturday Daily.
DR.. F. L. Durgin was at Des Moines
last week where he appeared before the
federal court as witness for the gov
eminent against one Otis r. Meliza.
MeliZa worked on farm in this vicinity
in the year 1897, and while so employ
ed was hurt while working around
corn binder. His left elbow was badly
injured, and DR.. f. L. Durgin was the
surgeon who attended the injured man.
After recovering, Meliza left here and
enlisted in the regular army. He saw
service in the Philippines, and other
parts of the world. Meliza enlisted three
times altogether. Wearying of army
life he sought to obtain pension, claim
ing that he fell from his horse while a
member of the cavalry, and had sus-
tanned the in Jury to the elbow. He
completely fooled the pension examiner
with his plausible tale, but in some way
your Uncle Samuel became suspicious
that all was not right, and he started
the search which resulted in the arrest
of Meliza. Meliza pleaded guilty to the
charge of trying to obtain a pension
under false pretenses, and was given
a long term in prison. DR.. Durgin says
it is a mystery how the government ever
traced the surgeons work to him. At
any rate. its pretty good testimonial
of the doctors ability as a surgeon when
a man with bad elbow can successful
ly deceive the examiners three times,
and be accepted into the service as
sound and able Notwithstanding En-
terprise.
