The Story Of a WOman'S Maftyrd0h

"Mary Dyer, Quaker fanatic. twice
fbanished from the Massachusetts colony on
pain of death, and as she persisted in re-
turning, hanged on Boston Common, =
this is the laconic statement Of the case to
be found in most encyclopedias. The inner
story of the martyrdom Of this extraor-
dinary woman woman warrior, woman
mystic, woman-saint, as told by Basil
King, in the November McCguye's ranks at
one Of the most touching and heroic Of our
National legends. As the reflection Of
perhaps the most important single inci-
dent in the fight for religions freedom in
America, and as dramatic Narrative Of
great power, the story stands unique among
the fiction of the year.

THE NEW ANTI-BRIBERY LAWS.
A New Ordeal for Candidates. Work.
ers and Voters.

ers and Voters.
AS the laws are not published, as they
should be in newspapers, few know there
were two laws passed at the last session OF
the legislature to prohibit bribery, which are
intended to inaugurate new order OF
action at elections
Chapter 2O6, laws 1906, dec ares that any
person who shall give, lend or agree to give
any money or thing to or for any voter, or
advance any money or any valuable; and
any voter who shall receive or agree to re
ceive any money or valuable thing, or con-
tract for any Office. place or consideration
ard any employer, agent, or oyerseer OF any
company who shall threaten to use force,
violence, restraint or inflict injury, harm or
loss against any person in bis employ to IN
duce to vote or refrain from voting for any
candidate are guilty of misdemeanors, and
on conviction shall be disfranchised for five
years. For the second cffense is punish
able by $1,000 fine and five years imprison-
ment, or both.
The old law made beth parties equally
guilty, SO that one would not inform on the
other. The new law provides that tht
incriminating evidence given by one party
cannot be used against the witness.
Chapter 808, states no person shall give
or agree to give for the purpose Of promoting
or procuring she election Of any candidate
any money or valuable thing; or to provide
the expense of giving or providing any
meat, drink, en.ertainment or provision; ol

any club; to provide for the payment fol
Insertion in any newspaper or magazine ol
any article tending to influence any voter
providing this shall not prohibit the inser-
tion Of paid advertisements with the name
Of the person who pays for the same.
The penalty is two years disfranchise'
ment for the first offense, and second offenss
perpetual disfranchisement and such pun
ishment as the court may impose for mis-
aemeanors.

srATEMENT on THE CORONER


Corner Gaskill declared that be would
nrobe the cause Of the wreck to the bottom
and place she responsibility where it be-
longs. He said:
II arrived at the drawbridge shortly
after the accident occurred. With Mr..
Atterhury / made thorough inspection OF
the tracks. The railroad officials claim to
be al loss to explain the cause Of the
wreck. Several important facts were
brought out by cur inspection. ] found
the end Of the drawbridge tracks higher
than the ends Of the other tracks. Conse-
ouently it was impossible for a train travel
ing fast to avoid leaving the rails.
That the wheels Of the train had hit the
ends Of the rails with terrific force was
shown by the battered condition Of the
rails. this, however is at variance with the
statement made by the bridge tender. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Atterbury, the bridge
sender told him that the bridge had just
been closed and that he had gone to either
end OF the draw TO remove tne uaugei Adss
which had been placed there when the
bridged was about to be opened. The
bridge man told Mr.. Atterbury be was pos
tive the tracks were perfectly locked.
.sMy investigation shows this not to haye
been the case Ny attention has been
called to the fact that there are no guard
rails Of any kind on the bridge. Had there
been they might have prevented the train
plunging into tie Thorofare, even after
ii had jumped the tracks. will find out
II the law requires protection Of this kind.
II will not be in hurry with the in
yestigation as want to get all possible in
