The idiot still believes in celebra-

who believe the same as the Herald
idiot. In fact there are so many of
the same opinion that an old-fash-
Toned story is somewhat applicable.

Mary, all the world seems a bit

Women are especially invited to

they invited to tell what kind of a
celebration they think should be

when they think the most opportune
time will be for holding the cele-
bration. "a Rural Reader" writes
as follows:

the WOMAN IS HAS BEEN FOUND
Clairvoyant Uncovcrs Mystery that
Has Worried Woman i'm
North Yakima for Years.

Several days ago story was run
in these columns stating that a man
who at that time preferred to remain
incognito, was seeking for the name
and address of a woman in this city
who was the daughter of miner
that died sixty-five miles north of
this city several years ago. s. l..
Southworth of 403 South Natchez
avenue was the man who inquired
for the woman and since then there
have been two letters received at this
office in answer to Mr.. Southworth' $
appeal. One of them was from Bert
Fletcher and read as follows:

BERT FLETCHER
Mr. Southworth visited the Fletch-
ers last evening, and they confirmed
the statements that had been made
by Credo. They also told Southworth
that at the suggestion of a clairvoy-
ant some time ago. They had visited
the site of the cabin and found
things as described. 1t is believed
the interested parties will make one
more effort to locate the nuggets.
| The story is we'll confirmed from ev-
cry point and results will vouch for
its truthfulness.
| Behind the case is an interesting
story of the clairvoyant nature. Mr.
Southworth, not believing much in
the powers of Prof. Credo. called
upon that gentleman for reading.
South worth was told to inquire for
a woman who was the daughter of
a man named Ernest, or Earnest.
He was told that Earnest had died
in a cabin about 65 miles north of
this city some years ago, and that he
had buried several gold nuggets IN
that vicinity. Southworth was told
| that the woman still lived in the city.
that she had a nugget made into a
breastpin, as we'll as a horseshoe,
taken from "a mule that her father
had owned and used in prospecting
work

John Beard Pleads for Southern Can
didate.
In Bryan's Commoner.

Hon. John S. Beard. of Pensacola,
one of the most prominent men in
western Florida, contributed to the
Atlanta Constitution AN article urging
the nomination of a southern man by
the democratic party for president
next time. Mr.. Beard concludes his
letter as follows:
Let US take another view Of the
expediency and advisability of nomin-
ating a southern man for the presi-
dency by the next democratic national
convention. If an eastern man should
be nominated the west will not sup
port him, because of eastern treachery
and desertion in 1896 and 1900. If a
western man is nominated the east
will not support him, because of wes-
tern detection in 1904, but the south
supported Bryan in 1896 and 1900 and
Parker in 1904. Neither the east nor
the west has any quid pro quo for the
south.
1.-The South holds the balance of
power in a national democratic con-
vention. The south does the democratic
voting. No democratic candidate has
the ghost of a chance of election with
out the electoral vote of the south.
The south should, in the next national
democratic convention, insist upon the
nomination for president of the United
States one of her own distinguished
sons, and she has many worthy of the
honor and of the trust.
1.-The south owes it to herself. to her
honor and to her equality in a union
OF equal states. Present southern
leaders owe it to this and succeeding
generations in the south that under
their leadership no such pernicious
precedent be established as that each
southern state is not the perfect and
entire equal of every state in the un-
ion. If the south insists upon it the
south will secure 1t and if democracy
is defeated (and 1 believe that it will
not be) it Will only be a repetition of
what has been happening for the pazt
fifty years (nearly) under other than
southern leadership. If southern man
Is not nominated by the convention
II VIII be because the SOufh Is NOT trI1a
to herself. 1t must be in the nature
OF an embargo. 1t is scarcely in the
power of the other sections even if so
disposed to establish a blockade"

LAMAR OF MISSISSIPPI.
Euiogy by Judge Alton Parker at
jackson, Miss.

The following glowing tribute to
the character of the late Justice
Lamar, by Judge Alton B. Parker, is
an extract from his speech made at
Jackson, Miss, March 10:
/ may, perhaps, be permitted to
confess that, as a young man, l was
drawn to an admiration for the man
hood Of your state by the lofty char
acter, the commanding ability, the
inspiring eloquence and the patriotic
public service of the late Justice La
mar. Looking back over the chsquer-
ed events of the past forty years, it
seems to me that no man has shown
in higher degree the patience. the
insight, the true love of country, the
unselfishness and the unanswering
honesty of idea and purpose that so
became one who was at once the ed
ucator, the statesman. the jurist, the
citizen. the man and the Christian. In
the work which we, as a people, must
do, if we are to maintain the heritage
of our fathers, We may we'll take him
as a pattern of the man who know
so we'll how to assert the highest prin-
ciples and to stand up for them in
the face of ignorance or misunder-
standing, or even of strong opposition
and of temporary or threatened OBJ
loquy."

Proof of Death.

If most people are afraid of any
thing, it is of being buried alive. The
cases do happen when it is very diff
ficult even for the experienced ply
stefan to determine whether a per-
son is really or apparently dead, with
out his having recourse to means
which. while they would at once set
tie the dispute, would place life if it
really existed in jeopardy, may be judi
ged from the fact that the French
Academy, some ten or fifteen years
ago, offered a prize of forty thous-
and franks for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexeprienc-
ed may discover whether in a given
case death had ensued or not. He
had discovered the following we'll
known phenomenon: If the hand of
the suspected person is held toward
the candle or artificial light, with the
fingers stretched, and one touching the
other and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers toward the
light there appears a scarlet red col
or, where the fingers touch each 9TH
er, due to the still circulating fluid
blood, as it shows itself through the
transparent, not yet congested tissues;
but when life is extinct, this phenome-
non ceases. The most extensive and
thorough trials established the fruits
of this observation. and the prize was
awarded to its discoverer.
