ANARCHIST STAYS PRIEST AT
ALTAR

Father Leo Heinrichs was sho1
and killed when administering
the sacrament at early mass il
st. Eliszabeth's Catholic church
Eleventh and Curtis streets, Den.
vre, Cor, at Six o'clock Sunday
morning. Kneeling at the altar raj
between two women, t Giuseppe
Guarnaccio pressed the muzzle oil
a revolver against the body of the
priest, after receiving the conse.
Grated water, and shot the priest
through the heart. Exclaiming
my God, my God!" Father Helm
richs fell prone in front of the altar,
and died without utteripg another
word. With an inarticulate scream,
the assassin sprang into the aisle
and dashed to the door. For a mo-
ment the hundred or more people
in the church were dazed, then be-
came pane-stricken. Women faint
ed, and many became hysterical.
Several men rushed to the aid of
the priest, and others started in
pursuit of the murderer. Among
the latter was Patrolman Daniel
Cronin, who overlook the Italian
on the steps. Giuseppe Guarnac-
clio attempted to shoot the police
man, but was foiled and overpow-
cred only after a desperate fight,
in which several men came to the
assistance of the officer. The muir
derer was hurriedly moved to the
city Jail, and as threats of sum-
naaryJastice were made by men in
the crowd who quickly gathered
in front of the church, Chief of
Police Delaney called out the re-
serve force Of patrolmen. Deputy
Coroner Hayes took charge of the
priests body, which was removed
to the city morgue.
Giuseppe Guarnaccio made the
following statement:

hundred millions on our assess
ment rolls"
The Governor spoke of his mes,
sage with the assessor and the va
rious efforts he had made to raise
the assessments.
Il tell you,n he said, eff Louis
lana had even as much as Sc 2-a
of the value Of her property on the
rolls, we would have a billion in
assessments, and the State tax
would go to two mills and the par
ish to three"
The Governor said that even in
New Orleans the assessments he
found were far under what they
should be. There was not a single
parish in the State when he be-
gan his work that was forty
per cent of actual valuation.
MY presiding over the levee
conference has shown" he said,
"that the levee board has been
paying six or seven times the ass
essed valuation, so that the parish
of Orleans is on a parity with the
other parishes of the State"
The Governor spoke at some
length and in conclusion saidthat
he hoped the commission as a rx
suit of its investigation would con
denim what was faulty in the Lou
isiana system of taxation and
make recommendations for it's i'm
provement. He hoped that espe-
cial attention would be given to
what he had said about the dis
association of the State and local
systems of raisingTevenue. He
hoped the report would be ready
SO that it might be printed and
laid on the desks of members when
the Legislature opened its session,
be sent around the State so the
citizens could discuss the matter
with their senators and representa-
tives, and be in the hands Of the
Governor for use in connection
with his message.

plauded when he concluded.

Hattiesburg is thriving city OF ap-
proximately $4,000 population. Its
growth is one Of the marvels OF the
fast expanding South, due to natural
resources such as are possessed by no
other town or city in Mississippi.
Hattiesburg is the center of the vel
low pine belt of South Mississippi. the
greatest timber belt in the world.
Four great systems Of railroad radiat-
ing in seven directions, with numerous
baranch Lines, make Hattiesburg the
wholesale and retail distributing point
of all this vast country for distance
of more than fifty miles in all direc-
lions.
Hattiesburg has numerous manufact
uring plants and wholesale and job
bling houses representing practically
all lines, and the merchants of the
smaller towns within a radius Of fifty
miles can buy cheaper in Hattiesburg
than in the larger cities, deducting the
difference in freight rates.
The retail trade of Hattiesburg is
second to that Of no city in the State.

Inland Waterways.

The Missouri river has been redis-
covered to navigation says Walter
Williams in The World Today. Time
was when it carried the freight to
western communities from st. Louis
to Fort Benton, $500 miles to the
northwest, and beyond. 1t carried
this freight and many passengers as
well in steamboats, of large capacity
that netted their owners fortunes
with every successful round trip. Oc-
casionally the pilot, though his wage
was $500 in gold coin each month";
was not able to dodge the inevitable
"snag," and the boat sank and the
fortune was lost. These were excep-
tions, and there are many wealthy
families in st. Louis which trace the
foundations of their fortunes to the
Missouri river trade. Then the rail-
road came, and the steamboat went to

than three decades of oblivion, 1t has

group Of Kansas City merchants buy
ing merchandise from the east, figur-
ed with care their freight bills. They
found that over Al per cent Of the
freight charge was for the short haul
from ST. Louis to Kansas City, while
less than SO per cent was for the long
haul from the Atlantic coast to st.
Louis. They appealed to the rail-
roads, but could get no readjustment
that afforded reduction. They ap-
pealed to the interstate commerce
commission, but found no relief. 1t
was company of grave, shrewd mer-
chants and manufacturers that sat
one evening in the council rooms Of
Kansas City club talking over the
freight rate situation. A map was on
the table before them, a railroad map
with wide black lines, straight as the
arrows flight, to represent the rail-
roads, and narrow, crooked, hesitat-
ing lines to show, as after-thought,
the river ways. A captain Of the dry
goods industry said: why not try
the Missouri river?" And the redis-
covery began.

on his grave at monday. Farewell!
The doors Of your house stand wide

the birds of the night will f1utter In
and make their nests there; the wild

strike it sharply into its place, and
turn away for ever.

you read as you will some day, of the
fate of Lurline Bannottie, and see
whether your eyes moisten or your

you-but may the years to then be
many-when you learn in your own
person that life is vapor and all men
are mortal. L But it may not be?
Farewell! Those who read this his

going-will not call you the hero.
And I cannot say they should.
But, "to him who overcometh" I can
not deny the emotion feel. Farewell,

THE WORST, ALL RIGHT-Back in
the dark ages when the manage
ment of the Erie railroad was not all
that it should have been-the rolling
stock needing more oil and the COM
mon stock less water-a westbound
passenger train jolted into Corning
one day two hours behind time and
halted to patch up the engine and
take on such passengers as were in
no hurry and preferred waiting to
walking.
Just as the train was about to jerk
itself into motion an excited individ-
ual came rushing along the platform,
dragging a heavy carpet bag with one
hand and waving a telegram with the
other.

CLEVELAND'S CAREER
INTERESTING ONE
Led Democrats to National
Victory Twice.

The following is a sketch of the life
of Grover Cleveland, who died We'd
nesday:
Grover Cleveland, twenty-second
president of the United States and
the only Democratic occupant of the
White House since the Civil War, was
born in Caldwell, Essex county, New
Jersey, March 18, 1887. His father
was a Presbyterian clergyman.
When Grover was four years old
his father accepted call to Fayette-
Vile, near Syracuse, N. Y, where the
son had an academy schooling, and
afterward was a clerk in country
store. In his seventeenth year he
became a clerk and assistant teacher
in the New York institution for the
blind in New York city, in which his
elder brother, William was then a
teacher. In 1855 Grover left New
York to go to the west in search OF
employment On his way he stopped
at Black Rock, now part of Buffalo,
and called on his uncle, Lewis F. Al
len, who induced him to remain and
aid him in the cOmpilatio n of vol
ume of the American Herd-BOok.
He afterward assisted in the prepar-
alton of several other volumes of this
work In August, 1885, he secured a
place as clerk and cOpyist for the
new law firm of Rogers, Bowen and
Rogers, in Buffalo, began to read
Blackstone, and in the autumn of
that year was receiving four dollars
a week for his work. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1859, but for three
years longer he remained with the
firm that first employed him, acting as
managing clerk at salary of $1,000,
a part of which he devoted to the
support of his widowed mother, who
died in 1882.
He was appointed assistant district
attorney of Erie county in 1863, and
held the Office for three years. At
this strenuous efforts were being made
to bring the iCyil War to close.
In 1865, at the age of twenty-eight,
he was the Democratic candidate for
district attorney, but was defeated by
the Republican candidate, his init
mate friend, Lyman K. Bass. He then
became a law partner of Isaac V.
Vanderpool, and in 1869 became a
member of the firm of Lanning, Cleve-
