CHAPTER
IN TWO LIVES
LINKED IN TRAGEDY

Yankton, S. D., Sept. 14.-The death
of Will F. Lawrence at Kadoka Tues
day by shooting himself after murder
ing his housekeeper, closes the career
of a man who stands at the head In
this county for tragic events in his life.
,all within the space of a very few
years.
Mr.. Lawrence was raised in this
county, a member of a very prominent
and highly respected family. He moved
Ito Yankton and built one of the finest
homes in the city.
In a few months his wife died and
was quickly followed by her mother,
The third death was that OF a hired
man, suffocated by gas In a cess pool.
Mr.. Lawrence was himself overcome by
the gas and was thought to be dead,
too, but was revived. A little later he
married his hired girl, who within two
weeks was a corps dead from taking
carbolic acid, whether Intentional or
accidental was never Known.
The last tragedy, in which two lives
were snuffed out, ends, 1t is hoped here,
the series of events in this family
which have repeatedly startled Yank-
ton people.
The Mrs. Keeher, who was shot, was
the widow Of Otto Kehr. who after
losing all his money in a gambling
den here, took poison. He was found
dead in an alley back of a saloon. The
affair brought out the greatest tidal
wave of reform this city has ever
known. Mr.. Lawrence has six children.
Jagged from s to 10 years, in school
here.

THE WEATHER
FOR THE WEEK
Unusually Hot Weather Pre-
vailed During Week in
Southern States.

The national weekly weather bulle-
tin for the week ending Sept. 9, pub
lished by the secretary of agriculture
at Washington, says that the week
was marked by unusually hot weather
in the Southern States, especially in
central Texas, and also in the Atlantic
coast states, California, and on the
north Pacific coast, but was cooler
than usual in the lower Missouri, up
per Mississippi, and lower Ohio val
leys and the greater portion of the
Lake region. Temperature conditions
were generally favorable, however, in
practically all districts. excepting
portions of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma and the greater part OF,
Texas. Light frosts were reported at
the close of the week from the upper.
Michigan peninsula. the Dakotas, and
some Rocky Mountain stations.
Copious rains have completely re-
lieved the drought which prevailed in.
New England, and the drought has
been broken in Oklahoma and gen.
orally relieved in North Carolina and
northeastern Ohio, but continues in
portions of the two last-named states,
many western counties in Alabama, In.
Louisiana, and the greater part Of
Texas, the conditions in the last-men-
toned state being aggravated by hot,
drying winds. Some scattered counties
in South Dakota also need rain.
While much cloudiness prevailed in
New England. New Cork. the upper
Lake region, Kentucky. portions Of
Kansas, and the northern Rocky noun
tain region, and dufnng mornings on
the Pacific coast. the Sunshine in 9TH
er sections was generally the average
amount or above the normal, being
excessive in Louisiana and Texas.
With the exception Of damaging
wind and hail storms IN southern In
diana, there were no severe local
storms reported duking the week.

SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY
IN PRESENT CAMPAIGN.

The spirit of fair play and justice
has always been a recognized trait of
the American people, and there can
be no question that, as whole, the
peoTde of this great nation nave moth
ing but censure for a man or set of
Tfen who resort, deliberately, to any
Iunderhand method for the purpose of
gaining ascendancy in any cause.
1t is, and has all along been, the
desire and intention of those opposing
prohibition to conduc1 the campaign
in perfectly fair and dispassionate
manner, avoiding personalities, mud
singing and resort to the question
fable methods that have in other cities
made mockery of justice and joke OF
the right of franchise.
At the meeting of the esteemed
Board of County Commissioners on
Thursday night, when representatives
of the Escambia County Prohl dtion
League quietly stepped into the arena
with a list of several hundred names
which they desired stricken from the
registration list, there was but one
voice raised in protest against the I'M
usual, unannounced and wholly unfair
proceeding-that of Chairman Merritt,
Yremarked:
There are whole lot OF good men
who will lose their votes by this
now"
And this action, which, in its effect,
may deprive many good citizens of
their right of franchise, was taken by
the very, ones who have all along
made watchwords of honesty, fair play
nv r-irr 1T
action been attempted by those op-
posed to prohibition, the howl raised
about it would have resounded from
the Perdido river to Key West
The laws of the land guarantee to
every man the right of franchise, and
it is almost inconceivable that any
man or set of men could conscientious
ly take action which will result in
throttling a fair and impartial express
sion of public opinion at the polls on
election day. But maybe. after all,
this. is what some people call
"SQUARE DEAL"
Those opposed to prohibition will
mot find it necessary to resort to such
methods during the present campaigL
And should drastic action become ne
cessary, formal notice will he served
on the Escs nbia County Prohibition
League, stating explicitly what action
1t is proposed to take. in order that
they may have ample .timedt1 prepare
adequate defense. The fight from this
end of the line, at least, will be con-
Quoted fairly, and in the open, and
there will be no. recourse whatever
to the paraphernalfa or methods of
political thugs.

WORSE EVIL
THAN ALL Of
OTHERS KNOWN
Colored Saloon Owner Tells
Colored Prohibition Lea
que Why He Will Vote
Dry on October ACTIVE
Work of Negro Prohibi-
tionistS Here.

The Journal has been furnished the
following report of the meeting held
Thursday night by the Colored Pro
hibition League on Pensacola:
The Colored Prohibition League
held a rousing meeting at the Mt.
Zion Baptist Church. r. T. Thomas
presided, and several very excellent
speeches were delivered. .
Notable among them was that of
Moses Lyman, colored whiskey deal
er, who said that after five years Of
keeping a saloon he could truthfully
say that it was the most damning
thing the world had to deal with. He
said that the saloon ruined more
young men han all, other combined
evils in the. world. He declared that
while he was engaged in the saloon
business, for the sake of his race he
was willing to follow another business
for a living, and that on election day
he would cast his vote against the sale
of whiskey.
Prof V. J. Steward delivered a fine
address, which evidently made many
votes for the cause. DR.. Lewis also
spoke.
The audience expressed itself in no
uncertain tone of condemnation
against those colored preachers who
are not helping in the cause of pro-
hibition.
