work and Roddy was watching him.
Both were startled by the report of
the pistol and saw Sutphin fall to the
floor.
Not Blamed by Parents.
Young Holmes was assured by Mr..
and Mrs. Sutphin that they held moth.
ing against him. They realized the
accidental nature of the affair and
that the boy was having enough to
bear without the weight of their CON
domination. The officers we're in com.
munication last night with the father
of young Holmes at Diamondyille and
advised him to come at once to his
son, and it is presumed the father is
now on his way to this city.
Funeral on Saturday.
The funeral of John Hull Sutphin
will be held from the family residence,
corner Eighth and Sheridan streets,
at 3 O'Clock Saturday afternoon, with
services by Dean Bode of st. Mat.
thew's cathedral. The following young
men, all former friends of the de-
ceased, will act as p%allbearers: Clar-
ence Moir, Mortimer Grant, Sumner
Grant, Herman Langheldt, Will Mai
smith and Willie Evans. Friends who
so desire may view the remains at
the home from 10 to 70 tomorrow.
Verdict of the Jury.
The jury at 2:3O this afternoon
signed the following verdict and the
recommendations, which were made
a part of the report:
1--WE, the jury, find that the de-
ceased came to his death by a gun
shot wound inflicted by a pistol fired
by the hand of David Holmes, a fellow
student, and further find that the
shooting was not intentional, but we
believe there vas great carelessness
shown in pointing a weapon at an
other person.
Lesson to Be Learned.
1.-THE jury wishes to further call the
attention of our boys and girls to the
terrible result of d~isobedience. At the
time the Holmes boy left home his
mother told him that he was not to
have a pistol. Instead of obeying her
injunction, he disobeyed and pur-
chased the gun What is the result?
A young man full of the vigor of
youth, and with every prospect of a
rificed by disobedience. The grief
stricken father and mother will never
o from the effects of this awful
tragedy, to say nothing of the grief
of the author Of the tragedy and his
poor father and mother. What a les
son to our boys and what a price to
pay! We hope that some good may
come from this terrible calamity; that
it will teach them that di~sobedience
has been the cause of all this trouble,
n that it is the cause of more grief
and trouble than any other n thing"
Will Attend in Body.
A call has been issued for the male
cadets of the university to meet at
the university at 2:30 tomorrow after.
noon, to attend the funeral of their
late comrade, John Hull Sutphin, from
the residence at 8 p. m. The call was
issued by Prof. w. F. Gilkison, the mil.

Gold Coin Record.

On October 26 the treasury set a
worlds record in the matter of its
hoard of gold,fo on that day there was
held within the vaults of Uncle Sam
precious metal to the value of $S77 ,29S,.
23S. Never in the history of the world
has such an amount of gold been in the
possession of any government. 1t may
be seen from this that the prosperous
times enjoyed by this country for so
long a stretch are founded on a firm
basis.

Democratic Prospects Bright.

II has not been before in many years
that the prospects for democratic sue
cess in Rock Island have been so
bright as now The indications are
the most gratifying all over the city,
and it seems that the party has but TO
make creditable nominations. as there
is every prospect of its doing, to win
the confidence of the people, and their
appreciation. This is the sentiment
that everywhere prevails. 1t is in the
atmosphere
In the light of this view of existing
conditions, il is with the party itself to
determine its own fate and avail itself
of the opportunities that are presented.
At such times as this when hope is
brightest there is always the possibili-
~ of an attempt on the part of the
ever present element of greed and
graft to seek to profit by what
ever there may be of political success.
The party may be relied upon to keep
alooff-o:'- ~r'"h entanglements. The dem
ocratic party in Rock Island, city and
county, is both in good hands and
good condition now, and the right kind
of men are coming TO the front in the
lists OF candidates.

The Presidents sratesmanship.

sample of the presidents states
manship is shown by his conduct IN
the suits against the packers in Chi
cago. Commissioner Garfield, acting
under the presidents order, went To
Chicago some time ago and securing
and introduction to several prominent
packers. induced them to exhibit their
books and papers on the promise that
they should not be prosecuted for hav-
ing violated the law. Charles &.
Dawes. former comptroller of the cur
rency. now president of the central
Trust company of Chicago, and other
gentlemen of similar standing, were in
duced to introduce him to certain pack
. ( and to youch for Mr. Garfield's reli
ability. Much to his surprise and that
of the packers, Mr.. Garfield brough'
suit against the packers in the federal
courts. using their own admissions and
their own books as evidence. Oh
course the packers protested and
claimed the immunity which had been
promised them. The court has since
been trying the cases. Mr.. Dawes Oh
the stand testified that such immunity
had been promised by Mr.. Garfield Oh
the word of the president Mr. Morris
swore TO the same facts and further
that he had submitted his books and
statements all on the word of the pres
ident given through Mr.. Garfield that
the company should be held harmless
In addition to this Il letter signed by
the president was exhibited in court
that seemed to imply that Mr.. Garfield
was acting on the authority OF the
chief executive.
The case is still before Judge Hum
phrey. Mr.. Garfield has not denied
the testimony of Mr.. Dawes and the
others, but when he takes the stand
he will have 10 admit that he was act
ing under the presidents orders or that
he was using the presidents high pc
sition in order TO obtain evidence 10
establish a case. We do not know
what kind of a man Mr.. Garfield is and
he may in order to save the president
from criticism assume the blame OF
the whole affair. If he is a man of the
right nerve he may tell the story and
the president will be compelled to
shoulder the blame. In any event the
packers and their friends will always
claim that the president promised them
immunity and if they are punished for
violating the law they and their
friends will contend that it is due to
the presidents duplicity.

Another minister of the gospel,
whose periidy was about to be exposed
sought self-destruction, when Rev. Jul
Illus G. Wade, pastor of the First Con
gregational church at Waukegan,
threw himself in front of a Northwest
ern train. He was severely injured
and may die. The charge against him
was sending obscene literature through
the mails. The case is not dissimilar
to that of Rev. George III. Simmons,
the Peoria paragon who suicided this
week. The latest sensation seems to
but add to the evidence that when a
preacher falls, his fate is like that of
the first angel who fell out of heaven,
and who still has many an apt pupil on
this sphere. There is no calling in
life so noble as that of the man of God,
and no creature is so despicable as the
one who assumes such a role when he
has not godliness in his heart and
eventually proves it through his habits
and his attitude toward his fellow men.

Yellow journalism Declining.

Ii is a criticism encountered here
and there that journalism's main drift
is in the direction OF luridness and
looseness. To some extent the great
news happenings attending the power
ful reforms which have disturbed the
country in the past three or four years
may be responsible for the hasty i'm
preston in some quarters that news
papers as class are emphasizing the
spectacular and the exciting phases OF
life beyond their right proportion and
importance. Principally, however. 4
few very noisy examples of eXagSera
ton are responsible for the impression
and the comment. The fact that the
criticism always comes by way of com
plant is suggestive.
The distinction between newspa
pers which thrive on false thrills and
those which cOnfine themselves to the
proper treatment of legitimate news
topics is becoming increasingly plain
There is no gainsaying the fact that
yellow journalism has thrived like the
green bay tree, but that its popularity
is fast cbbing is patent, and that re,
action of favor has set in toward the
reliable newspaper is strongly percept,
ible in every great metropolis of the
country AS the distinction between
the chrome and the white grows in
perception legitimate journalism will
enjoy a correspondingly stronger pub
lie support.
Plainly, says the st. Louis Republic
the educated public taste of the great
cities is fast turning against the yell
low, and the demand for accuracy and
decency is likely to result in change
of policy in a good many of the chrome
chroniclers which now ''scare-head' ex.
aggerated reports. There can be no
doubt of it. But the change of policy
will not Immediately benefit the erst-
while guilty purveyors of fakes. They
have fooled SO many of the people so
much of the time that, once abandoned
by the public for that reason, they will
not soon again come into confidence
The cry of wolf" has grown mono
tonous, and a deceived public now de
manding accuracy is not going to turn
for its information to discredited sour
ces, but rather to those which have
an old and established reputation for
truth. few yellow journals are
growing even yellower in a frantic at
tempt TO attract further attention. cry
ing wolff even louder than before:
but more of them have seen the error
of their way of scandalizing the public
for sheer sensations sake and are be
coming less noisy and less noisome in
consequence. In time the press in its
entirety &c destined IN ho
in this country, which is far too bright
to endure one form of fake forever
The decent papers are rapidly estab-
fishing a contrast too forceful and at
tractive for their competitors to with
stand. The public taste is being rap
idly educated to the right, and what
the public demands it Will have ulti-
