THREE WOMEN / !
["~ ILLINOIS OFFICERS

The recent Illinois Democratic con
vention was made famous by the nom-
ination Of two women for state off,
ces. 1t was graet convention.
Elsa Williams, of Pike county, pre-
sented the name Of Caroline Grote
for superintendent Of public instruc-
ton and the nominations closed. Miss
Grote was nominate dby acclamation,
and loud cries for speech brought
her, pink with pleasure, to the plat
form.
There was an extraordinary demon
stration then. Up went nearly all the
delegates hats in the air and hand
kerchiofs waved, while yclls that
would have done credit to an Indian
were. heard.
Miss Grote was neatly dressed, with
black hat and fan in one hand.
81 thank you sincerely for what
you have done for me-" she said. "It
means you are willing to trust your
most cherished interests--your chill
dren to me, and I hope that when
the next election comes around you
will find that I am in charge Of the
schools Of the state"
Miss Grote made her best bow and
the band played "Good Morning, Car
rie,' which made another hit with the
delegates. Miss Grote is resident
of Pittfeld.
Nominations were then in order fo1
trustees of the state university. Clara
p. Bourland, Of Peoria, was named
among them. This time the band
played "In the Good Old Summer

Mad Stones.

"That maidstone event I read Of in
the Constitution few days ago." re-
marked f. T. Mclaughlin, of Chatta-
nooga, last night at the Kimball, Gre
calls to my mind an event of forty
five or fifty years ago, an event when
I was mere child. Still it is some
thing 1 have never forgotten. l was
born near Wytheville, Va, not so
many miles from the Virginia line,
and there I passed the first ten years
Of my life. There are mountains in
that REGION. and fifty years ago those
hills and valleys were thronged with
all kinds Of game. The long muzzle-
loading rifle and the muzzle-loading
shotgun, with it's two barrels, were
the weapons in those days, and NIGH
ty good weapons they were. There
was nothing more desired by Virgin
ian or Tenncsscean in that section
than long shooting iron carrying
the small bullet or the double-barrel
that could take in and spit out any
thing from the mustard seed to the
buckshot. Hunting season was locke i
forward to with the greatest pleasure.
especially the fall, when deer was in
the game.

THE HERALD AND NEWS.

An old hunter had found stone in
the nav Of deer. It was a prize
because no one in those days doubted
the efficacy of that maidstone. Just as
| came to that age where impressions
were created, mad dog bit two or
three people in and near Wythevillc.
The stone was tried and every one got
well. just about that time the hunt
ing season opened, and the first deer
brought down gave up stone even
larger than the one Wytheville had
known so long.
The finding of that stone seemed to
set that section of the two states wild.
and started hunt for madstones. AS
a rule deer were slaughtered for the
meat, and when sualciency had been
acquired the hunt either ceased or
took another turn. But that fall the
deer was slain, not for its meat, but in
hopes that maidstone might be found.
Two were found and that was the lin
1t. One of these was sold to wealthy
eastern man who had seen it tried,
and it was snug fortune the Virginia
hunter got for it. The man who doubts
the merit Of that stone found in the
deer makes IL sad mistake"

I the Augusta arsenal, where he re-
manned for something more than three
years. During his residence in the
city, or rather at the arsenal, he met,
became attached to, fell in love with
and married young lady Of the city
who is well known, quite popular and
a member of family Of some promi-
nence.
Mr.. Nohnd and the young lady
were konwn to be close companions,
and during the hours when he was not
! on duty they were almost inseparable.
Friends of both knew that there was
deep attachment, and were under
the impression that the couple would
be married-upon the expiration Of
Mr.. Noland's enlistment was the idea
entertained.

Friday afternoon a dispatch was re-
ce'ved by Mr.. Noland's friends here
announcing his death at the Soldiers
Home oD the night Of August 16.
When the announcement was made to
the young lady the result was far diff
fercnt from what had been expected,
and presents a truly touching pathos.
She produced a wedding certificate,
showing that Miss Maude Kennedy of
Augusta was married to Mr.. Edward

The marriage had been kept an ab-

In apropriating a water power tie
town of Harrisonberg, Va, has recently
encountered a singular .esl' snas. 1t
bought an existing dam AID served no
tice on the riparian property owners

ten feet. Commissioners were appointed
to fix the damages to the upstream prop
erty caused in this way, and one of the
items they assessed against the tow1
was $4,000 for the tcnfoot fail In the rive
due to the raising of the darn. The Owl
protested against such IN award be-
cause none of the riparian owners had
property on 10Th sides os the river. and
consequently none of them owned any
power privileges. The Virginia Supreme

now make no distinction between
murder and lynching, and it is the
purpose Of the bill to ditlorentlate

The principal sections Of the Nc.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of
the state Of Mississippi that the kill
ing Of a human being or producing
any physical injury to a human be-
ing by a mob or collection Of persons
to ayenge a crime shall be lynching,
and not murder, nor assault with in,

That when any one is convicted
Of lynching the trial jury on finding
him guilty shall prescribe the pen,

court and no other punishment than
the punishment fixed by the tria.
