ing the candidacy of Bryan for

While Dubois holds the trump

adopted by the committee:
We, the Democratic State Central

H
Jackson, Miss, June 3.-AlK satEk ~
sippi is observing the Tooth annph Y
sary of the birth of Jefferson Davis
as no previous anniversary has ever
been observed, and so far as JACK
son is concerned practically all busi-
ness has been suspended.
The state house is closed by order
of Gov. Noel, who, while he did not
issue the customary formal proclama-
tion on the subject, is nevertheless
anxious that the day snouid be fitting
ly observed.
The United States government build
ing is closed by order of Postmaster
Edwards, to the extent that Sunday
hours only are in effect, and this is
the first time in the history of the
state that first-class postoffice has
observed a state holiday.
At 4:30 this afternoon hundreds of
people will gather around the Jefferson
Davis monument in Confederate park,
adjoining the old state house and hold
public memorial service under the
auspices of the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy. The service will con.
sist largely of songs, but the princi
pal feature of it will be an address by
Attorney General R. " Fletcher.
All over the state the request has
been sent out by the Confederate
bodies that everybody wear white
roses today, and so far as Jackson is
concerned at least, this is being gen
orally done.
Bishop Chas B. Galloway has gone
to Oxford to deliver an address OF
the life and character of Mr.. Davis be
fore the student body of the Univer
sity of Mississippi, this being theil
last day there before leaving for theii
respective homes on their summer va
cation. This service will be, perhaps
the most notable one to be held within
the state, or for that matter, in the
entire south.

ging him. The gag was towel and
his feet were tied together with a
strong cord. His arms were tied be-
hind him in the same manner. Thus,
helplessly tied, he was carried to the
elevator shaft and was thrown down
into the basement. The elevator had
been run up to the office and after Mr..
Wales had been hurled down the
shaft, bound and gagged, to the base
ment floor, the inhuman robbers ran
the elevator down upon him.

arranged that the elevator would stop
level with the basement floor and
there was. a space of two or three feet
underneath. This was what saved
Mr.. Wales. Smothered and almost
sufficating he called from the bottom
of the shaft for help. His voice, al
though almost inaudble was heard
by Messrs. Mullinix, Glover and Held
elberg, who had by this time entered
the store, and they at once began
search for Mr.. WALES when they heard
his voice under the elevator and ran it
up. Mr.. Wales was quite nervous
and was carried to the South Missis-
sippi 1nfirmary, where an examination
showed that he was not seriously hurt,
but his wrist had been knocked out of
place, and it was soon pulled togeth-
er. Besides this few bruises were
sustained in his narrow escape.
AS to the Robbers.
So far there is no clue to the identity
of the robbers. They were both white
men and wore mustache. 1t is possible
that this mustache was false, though
Mr.. Wales doesn't know. If so, it was
the only disguise they had. The men
are supposed to have come in through
a transom at the rear of the house
i and to have left the same way, when
they saw that other employees we're
coming into the store. One of the men
talked in broken English and ap-
peared to be a dago. Mr.. Wales
thinks he could identity the men with
out trouble.

The Verdict.

In the defeat of William Jennings
Bryan at the polls yesterday, one of
the greatest men of the country has
probably passed out of political life,
at least so far as he himself is con-
cerned.
He made a great fight and his can
vass was one that will go down in
history as remarkable for its splendor
and for the earnestness and sincerity
of the man.
There is little doubt that money cut
a big figure in the election. This will
probably be shown later
Mr.. Bryan virtually had two OPP
ponents-Mr Taft and President
Roosevelt with all of his political
power and prestage.
The country is now and has been
seriously afflicted with a financian
panic, and the threat of the great
financiers to make it worse in case of
Mr.. Bryan's election undoubtedly had
it's effect on the labor vote which
was believed to be for Mr.. Bryan.
There can be no doubt of one thing
and that it that Mr.. Bryan made as
good race as any other Democrat in
the country could have made, without
selling out to Wall street and the
money power.
Though defeated, Mr.. Bryan will go
down in history as one of the great
est men of his times, and unless this
government becomes a monarchy the
principles for which he fought will
some day triumph.

Our little citizens are the most i'm
portant. The older ones do the work
of the world, but each generation in
the forward march Of time must needs
be better than the preceding gener-
alton. If it were not so, where would
progress come in? And how can the
children stand a fair chance to sur
pass the parents unless the parents
sacrifice themselves to the uttermost
to help the children, to train them. to
school them, to fit them for useful,
successful and noble lives.

reverence for childhood we can learn
