Mark Twain.

The World extends its sympathy
to Mark Twalr. There is no living
American who has done SO much to
make himself endeared to the peo-
pie Of the entire civilized universe
as this kindly humoriNt, and now
that he is i'll, to his sick bed flows
the best of the love of the hearts of
men. Mark Twain has done a
great deal for tue human race.
He has taught us how TO laugh at
our faults and to view our foolish
ness with an eye that looked to i'm
provemen,, He has painted with
his true and kindly brush the life of
Am RIGA from boyhood to manhood
and to the grave, and all the time
his keen wit has never dra wn blood.
He is the greatest writer of his day
in English and for the sweetness of
his heart that he has given to the
world the world has been made
better. May his illness be short ar d
his recovery quick and complete. -
Charleston Gazette.
A fter an illness of several days
Mr.. Clemmins died at his home
in Redding, Connecticut, on the
evening of April 21st. If hu-
mainly ever had a true friend,
Mark Twain" was one. He
loved mankind from the bt tom
of his heart, and his writings
have spread a broad band of per-
petual sunshine. Regarded at
first as Jnly a pleasing humorist,
he died acknowledged as one of
the foremost men of letters of
all time. The world will miss
him and to day there is none in
sight to fill his place.

senators as the cause for their with

reason Is their discovery OF the
handwriting on the wall. This Is
particularly appl cable to Aldrich,
boss of the senate and general
manager Of the United States" who
has long been the special advocate
OF the big interests, the champion
Of the classes as against the mass es.
He will be mourned in Wall Street
but his deprivation Of power will
be hailed by the rest of the country
as n natl url blessing.
Aldrich aud Hale uuqueslionably
realize that they would encounter
opposition to election so stubborn
as to make their succ ess extremely
doubtful, and they must know also
that the interests OF their party
throughout the country would be
adversely affected 10y any eff rt the,

Merchant Shot.
General Store Keeper at Cherry,
Writ County, Victim Of Mere
Boy.
PARKERsBURG YOUTH CONFESSED TO CRIME.
DiSpatch.News. Aur. 81.

DiSpatch.News. Aur. 81.
Ned Clark, son of J. w. Clark,
of Riverside, yesterday shot and
probably fatally wounded Writ
Cheatham, general merchant OF
Cherry, Writ county, six miles
from Elizobeth and about -four
miles from Burning Springs.
Daring ROBBERY, inspired by the
reading Of dime novels led to the
tragedy. Clark confessed after
his arrest, saying that he had
read yellow backs" and that he
had started out to see what he
could do in the desparado line.
He said he was after money.
The shooting and the subse-
quent arrest of the youth, who
is perhaps 16 years of age, at
the same time clears ZIP his mis-
terious disappearance from this
city. Monday morning his faith
er gave him half dollar to get
medicine at a drug store. He
hasn't seen him since.
The shooting Dccurced about
nine O'Clock yesterday morning.
Young clark entered tn, store
of Cheatham at Cherry and asked
for can of sardines, and while
the merchant had his back turn
ed and was taking the product
asked for off the shelf, the youth
opened fire with a 50 calibre re-
volver. Mr.. Ckeatham was hit
in the head near the right cheek
bone, and the bullet lodged
some place in the skull. Accord
ing 10 later information the bull
let had not been removed though
surgeons had probed for il in an
endeavor to remove it. It is
feared that the wound may
prove fatal if there should be
complications.
Following the shooting Mrs
Cheatham grappled with the
youth and succeeded in throwing
him to the floor where for few
moments there was a desperate
battle for possession of the
weapon Young Clark made his
escape finally and ran. At that
time his identity was not known.
A posse was organized and a
search begun Immediately, and
nearby points were notified by
phone. Sheriff Bumgarner, of
Elizabeth, was notified and he
sent out scourging parties.
About noon young Clark was
arrested by Writ Thorn in the
neighborhood Of the crime. He
was turned over to the authora-
ties and during the afternoon
was taken to Elizabeth. He is
being held in the Writ county
jail awaiting developments.

Much To See.

1t will be the democrats this year
who will ask the people to look at
their tax tickets in determining
whether or not the Dawson Tax
laws have fulfilled the promise made
for them; 1t is to be hoped that
th taxpayers will remember That in
1906 and 1908 our republican
frieU DIS said much of the "story of
the tax tickets" and if this argu.
merit was sound then, it is sound
now. But the poor deceived tax
payer will have so much to look at
this year that his vision is liable TO
be strained. To addition to tax
tickets, he will be forced ito look
at" his empty dinner pail, his high
prices for every thing to eat and
wear. Cannonism, Imperialism

ON HERESY CHARGES
General Assembly Votes to Try New
York Presbytery.

Atlantic City, n. j., May 23-The de,
cision to try the New York Presby-
terry on charges of heresy, because of
its granting to Rev. Messrs. Black,
Steen and Finch licenses to preach
after the young men had refused to
accept in full the beliefs of the
church, was announced by the judi
cial committee of the Presbyterian
General Assembly today.
The committee, headed by Rev f.
d. Warfield, president of Lafayette
College, presented a report in which
it declared that the minority mem
bers, of the New York Presbytery has
established a prima facie case OF
heresy and the mater had now been
referred to the judicial commission of
the assembly who will hear witnesses
and report their findings for final &C
ton by the assembly" The matter of
reducing representation in the assem-
bly, 10 sos members was postponed un.
til tomorrow after long debate.
A resolution to allow contribution to
divinity students of over $500, the
sum allowed by the assembly to pay
the expenses of students working their
way through college to enter the
ministry, was adopted after Rev. DR..
Warfield bad stated his belief that
theological students should not be
forced to peddle books or groceries to
secure an education"

of order made by Mr.. Fitzgerald Of
New York, who contended there was
no law authorizing such an appropria-
ton.
To meet the objection to the tariff
board on the part of many Democrats
and some Republicans, Tawney pro-
posed another amendment which appro-
priated $25O.OOO practically for the
same purpose, with the added provi-
sion that it was to enable the Presi-
dent to give Congress information of
the state of the union and recommend
to their consideration such measures
as he shall judge necessary and exped-
lent etc.
Under this wording it is understood
that the President should send to Con-
gress any information which might be
collected under the proposed appro-
priation. BY taking out of the amend
ment all reference to the tariff board
which already exists 1t was hoped that
the provision would come within the
rule of the House and would not be
subject to a point Of order.
Fitzgerald promptly made a point of
order against the new amendment and
pending his argument upon it, the
House adjourned until tomorrow.

JEFFRlEs' TRAINING FORCE
Will Be Completed June With Frank
Gotch's Arrival.

Ben Lomond. Cal, May 23.-Frank
Gotch, champion wrestler of the
world, will join ]. j. Jeffries' staff of
trainers not later than June 5, ac..
cording to Geographic advices re-
ceived from the wrestler today. He
will be the last addition to the Jeffries
calnp. After the strenuous Sunday ex-
perience in camp, Jeffries took life
easy today. Early in the day the trout
fishing lure became so strong that the
fighter devoted the day to the beau
tiful San Lorenzo rixer. The only
training was spin on the road late
in the morning. Jeffries went over
the emile trip to Boulder Creek and
return and had an interesting race
of it on the last mile. for his brother
Jack and Joe Choyinski were waiting
for him that distance from camp and
brought him down the home stretch
at an exciting pace. He was beaten by
a few yards by Choyinski, but easily
Outran his brother.
1t is now accepted by Jeffries and
his followers that Tex Richard will
referee the fight July 4.
