William n. Tafts father, like Wright's,

lived north of the Ohio river, where
the code duello was not so honored as

editor on the street and thrashed him

A lesson to boys: Two boys of the
village of Dundee were found to be
paying for numerous purchases with
pennies, and were arrested on sus-
picion. They confessed that they had
found a hat containing 10000 pennies,
and some papers, being among the
booty stolen from the Dundee bank by
robbers some time ago, but thrown
aside because too cumbersome. They
returned the papers to the bank, but
kept the pennies. They were fined $40

Edward L. Thurston, a wealthy
citizen of Anoka, ended his life last
Friday night in an alley near his
home by shooting himself with a shot
gun. Depression over unfortunate
business investments and the loss,
several years ago, of his wife, are as
cribed as causes leading to the act.
Mr.. Thurston settled in Anoka twenty
five years ago from the east and en-
gagged in the furniture business with
his brother. Two years ago the store
burned, and since then he has not
been actively in business. He was a
Mason and about so years of age.

10 have ruled in almost czarlike fash
lon, SO large does he loom upon the
local horizon. In 1878, when yellow fe-

persons died, Luke Wright was one of
the men who remained in town. He
practically took charge of affairs and
was firm when most of the others
Wavered. He is still remembered in
Memphis as the hero of 1878.

true southerner. At an early age he
married Miss Kate Semmes, whose fa-

commander of the Confederate priva-

Ambassador to Japan.

AS governor general the Tennesseean
served two years until his selection
by the president to be the first Amer
lean ambassador to Japan. He served
a year as ambassador, then resigned
and returned to Memphis and his law
books. After only one years respite
he now takes up official duties again.
1t has been popular since the presi-
dent announced Mr.. Wright's appoint
ment to call him a Democrat. As
mentioned, he opposed Bryan in 1896
on the money question and voted
against him. In 1900 he was again in
opposition to the Democracy on what
was defined in the Kansas City plat
form as the paramount issue of the
campaign imperialism. Mr.. Wright,
as a matter Of course, stood for the
Republican policy Of expansion, so far
as the Philippines are concerned, be-
ing member Of the administrations
commission to govern those islands.
Going much further back, it may be
recalled that in 1876 and in 1884 Mr.
Wright was a delegate to the Demo
cratic national conventions. Thus he
helped to nominate the only two Dem
ocrats who have been elected to the
presidency since 1856-Tilden and
Cleveland. Tilden didn't serve. But
that's another narrative. Mr.. Wright
may be called a Cleveland Democrat,
having advocated in the main the poll
cies favored by the illustrious citizen
who has but just passed away. But
there are Democrats who think that
Grover Cleveland died a Republican.
