The Republic.

Thou, too, sail on, o Ship of Stated
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of stee!
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
"Tis of the wave and not the rock;
Ills but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
lii spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
tears,
Our faith triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

The rank cowardice of the night
riders in Galloway county is shown
in what was believed to have been
an attempt to assassinate Clint
Drinkard, who has been largely re-
sponsible for the arrests on the west
side, by man who was seen lurking
around Drinkard's home Thursday
night with a rifle. The presence of
the man was discovered by Mrs,
Drinkard, who heard footsteps in
the yard about midnight, Going &c
the window she saw man armed
with a rifle turn a corner of the
house, but when Mr.. Drinkard wa!
awakened he got up, and, going int
the yard. found that the man haC
fled. Drinkard called to the fellow
to come into the open and fight.
Authorities believe that the maj

SOLDIERS UNEXPECTED
Pineville and Whitesburg
Companies in Clark.

Winchester, KY, April 23.-At an
early hour this morning Company l.,
Second Kentucky Regiment, the
Pineville company, under command
of Capt. Gibson, arrived in this city,
much to the astonishment of the cit
izens, who had no notice of their
coming. At late hour this after
noon their horses arrived on a
freight train from Pineville. About
noon the Pineville company was
joined by the Whitesburg company
which has been on duty at Mt. Sterl-
ing for some time, the whole being
Under command of Maj. Webb, of
Whitesburg.
The priyates say they have no
knowledge as to where or for what
purpose they are going, and the Of
ficers refuse to give any information
whatever. This afternoon a squad
moved out the L. & N. railroad,
about two miles from the city, and
went into camp.
There is much excitement among
the citizens of the city tonight, and
the visit of the soldiers is the princi-
pal topic. Circuit Judge Benton and
County Judge Evans both say they
have not requested troops and there
is no need for them here. Much in
dignation is expressed and there is
talk of an Indignation meeting to-
morrow to give expression to the
feelings of the public. There has
been but little trouble here and that
some time ago, and not more than
half dozen men have expressed a
desire to raise crop this year.
In passing letters through the
mailing machine at the post-office
to-day the machine clogged, and on
investigation a letter was found
which contained cartridge and a
match. 1t was directed to a man
named Steve Johnson, who is not a
tobacco raiser, and was mailed on
the same rnral rnnte on which John
son resides.

Wood, who was wounded here Tues
day night in a street fight, in which
his brother, James D. Wood, was
killed, died this afternoon at 5
o'clock. The funeral of j. D. Wood
took place here to-day, and was con-
Quoted at the Baptist church under
the auspices of the Knights of Honor
and the Red Men. The crowd was
probably the largest that ever at
tended funeral in Central City.

Over the River.

Charles Selpele, a tobacco farmer,
at Ripley, Ohio, at the point of guns,
was forced to stand idly by while a
mob of forty masked men destroyed
his tobacco beds. Under the threat
of death the masked riders compelled
Selpele to swear that he would not
replant his beds and not engage in
the tobacco farming this year.
The tobacco beds of Andrew Law
renee, Richard London and Porter
Whisner, in the same neighborhood,
were also destroyed by the same band
cf night riders. Til The Law and Order
League has posted a reward of $3.50
for the arrest of the raiders. 1t is
said Selpele recognized several Of
the men and arrests will follow.

Soldiers For Trigg Have Not

SCOUTS IN WINCHESTER
Trigg and Clark Counties
Protest Against Soldiers.

Murray, KY, Apr. 24.-The grand
jury will probably return no more
indictments for night riding at this
sitting. The evidence so far against
the suspected men of Kirksey is not
strong enough to justify indictments
now. tits confidently believed, how
ever, that with more time to secure
evidence indictments will be made.
1t has leaked out that the reason
the first night rider cases were
changed from April 27 to April %
was that several of the men were ar
rested on April 13 and April 27 is
the thirteenth day of court. The
two thirteens were too much for
them.
Sheriff Edwards has been round
ing up the juries, and expects no
difficulty in getting them, and it is
said that the spare troops will in the
meantime be sent into Trigg county
to round up some of the missing
members Of the night rider band.
| Gen. Roger Williams and Major
| Albrecht were in town this morning
looking over the situation. They
said that they were satisfied, and i
they are contemplating any more
moves on the part of the soldier
these moves are not known. Moth
ing is known about the reported oC
cupation of Trigg county.

DR.. K. E. Neighbour is delivering

in the claim that their own pastor,
Rev. Millard A. Jerkens, is the best
preacher in the South, but many OF
them admit that DR.. Neighbour is
almost as fine a preacher as DR.
Jenkens.
The attendance is not confined tC
the Baptists, as the whole city seems
to be keenly interested in the reviv
al. There have been about thirty
conversions so far. Of these i
