and to it every personal ambition should
be subordinated.
Speaking for myself, I am willing to
serve IN the ranks or wherever you may
assign me.
why should we not succeed? Do you
think the republicans In Congress rep
resented the interests or the sentiment Of
Missouri In their votes and utterances IF
they made any on the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law? The republican Senate and ev-
cry one of the republican representatives
from Missouri voted for every Increased
tariff duty proposed and In one instance
our republican senator voted for a duty
that was too high even for Mr.. Aldrich
to support.
''All that Is required in addition to con-
certed action on our part is to acquaint
the people of the state with the iniquities
and receptions of the republican tariff
and that can be done by quoting the
utterance of republican lips. Paternal-
ism is but once removed from socialism.
Missouri must be redeemed.
Triumphant democracy in this state
will mean much to our brethren in 9TH
er states. We will achieve success-we'll
do more; we will deserve it."

SMITHSONIAN TO
AID POLAR SEARCH

Washington, January S.-(Special.)-
The Smithsonian institution has be-
come interested in the quest of the
south pole.
1t is said that it is formulating a
proposition to submit to Congress for
cooperation between the institution
and the navy department by which two
ships of the navy shall be detailed for
the international race to the Antartic
pole.
The object of inviting the co-opera-
ton of the navy is that the expense
may be less and also to put the en-
terprise on the plane of the designs
of Great Britain and France.
1t LIS well known that the National
Geographical society Is interested gen.
orally in the enterprise but 1T has not
yet formally taken any action. 1t Is
not a government body and 1t will pos
sibly yield it's claim to the Smithson-
ian institution which Is the govern
n,ent body which undertakes expedi-
lions such as the one now being con-
Quoted in Africa by former President
Roosevelt.
All of the plans seem to contemplate
the use of the Roosevelt. Peary's ship.
If naval ships should be utilized for the
search for the Antartic pole 1t is with
in the possibilities that Commander
Peary might be induced to go along
with the expedition. He soon will be
retired with an honorary title In adj
dition to that of captain in the navy.
He has expressed himself in sympathy
with the quest for the other pole.
II Congress should within short
time authorize an american national
expedition to the south pole" the ex-
petition could start within a sh ort
time Two naval ships and the Roose-
welt would make an ideal squadron,
say officials, and 1t is not improbable
to the navy crews would be added the
men with whom Peary became accus-
toned to the rigors of the far north.
The curious comment was made here
today that IL Roosevelt came home sud
denly he might be IN the humor to
head the south pole expedition him

COLLIER DENIES
ALL THE CHARGES

Atlanta, January s.-Commissioner of
Public Works H. L. Collier was the
principal witness today before the coun-
eli committee investigating the charges
of humanity to prisoners at the city
stockade. He denied all the testimony
of other witnesses. He declared that
he owned the chickens whose eggs he
daily gathered; that he paid for their
feed, for the henhouse and that the only
vegetables he ever got were a few put
into his buggy now and then by the
gardeners, when the supply was so gen.
erous that they otherwise would be
wasted.
He declared that he always instructed
his men to be careful in administering
punishment; that he never heard of the
crucifying to the rings of Ruby Gather
or Pearl Ryan, two young white girls.
He added that his other public duties took
much of his time. since he had to arise
daily at a. m. AS a reason for the
insanitary conditions he gave the refusal
of the council to appropriate the money
to clean up the place.
Collier said he had given the city $500
brick for use at the stockade and had
gotten up in the middle of the night to
place red lights at dangerous points.
He never heard OF scraps from the
floor of the negroes mess hall being
picked up and served to the white women
and would have discharged any employe
who would do such a thing. He referred
to the long lifetime spent In Atlanta
and said he had kept sacrediy the vows
he took as a member of secret societies
and In his church.
The largest number of strokes given
to a convict he had known about was A.

he rose steadily in the esteem and con-
fidencs of the community, the result
being his election as member OF the
Board of Aldermen. This introduce
tion to public service was the turning
point In his career. He resolved to
make his mark as an efficient, trusted
servant of the people.
Entering the race for Clerk OF the
Circuit Court he was nominated for the
office in the spring of 1898 by majority
of 300, the largest ever given to can
didate for a county ofsice In Jefferson
County, and in tho general election OF
the same year he led the state and
county ticket, receiving 80 more votes
than Governor Joseph F. Johnston. the
next highest man.
Now, right here comes the signin-
canoe of our story: This great polit-
ical honor, instead of infiaming his
sense of self-importance. simply
strengthened his purpose to make him
self as competent as possible Tor the
position, and in the following Decem-

his service Mr.. McAQory does NOT
hesitate to say that the training which
he received in the Wheeler Business
College was Of much assistance to him
in the making of his record.
Six years later, when the courts Of
Jefferson County were combined by act
of the Legislature into the Law and
Equity Court, Mr.. McAdory was nomin-
ated by the people In the primary for
the clerkship of that court. and was
preparing himself for his new duties,
when the Law and Equity Court was
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Bench; but, undisturbed by what
many men would regard as a 'backset"
to their ambitions, Mr.. McAdory picked
up the scattered threads of the Circuit
Court Clerks office. and calmly went
on with his work, knowing that fidelity

Favor Early Primary.

Decatur. January s.-tSpecial.)-The
question of the time of holding the state
and county primary election is one that
Is causing no little amount of discus
sion and comment in this county and in
the Decaturs. While there are some few
leading party men and candidates for Of
fee who do not approve of an early pr-
mary election, the majority of them do
approve most heartily of this Idea. They
say they want to have the election over
with before the busy season for the
farmers comes on. They are of the opin-
lon that an early primary would be the
means of getting out a larger vote In
this end of the state than could be got
ten out at late primary.

Z AGED WOMAN KILCEDY
Mrs. Nancy Wilson Struck hS
Train While Walking on 4 I
Track !

Mrs. Nancy Wilson, aged 60 Years,
was instantly killed by the cars direct
ly in front of the marble works Monday
morning shortly after 7 o'clock. Mrs.
Wilson left her home in Bakery Lane
about O'Clock and started up the rail-
road track to the home of DIR. E. H.
Martin where she was employed. She
had scarcely gone few feet north of
the bridge when the second sec ton of
the New York and Boston sleeper due
in Middlebury at 1903, but which was
four hours late, came along at rapid
rate. The engine struck the unfortu-
nate woman just as she was about to
turn around d and hurled her body under
the wheels of the train. Her head was
completely severe d from the body and
the right arm almost torn from the
socket and both legs broken. The right
side of the face was badly jammed and
the body was otherwise badly bruised.
The head was carried some distance
from the body. The train was i'm
mediately brought to a standstill and
the remains gathered up and placed be-
side the track First selectman T. F.
Burns, foreman at the Vermont Mar
BILE company's works, where the acci-
dent happened, was one of the first to
arrive on the scene and ordered the re-
mains removed to Blackmer's under
taking rooms on Main street.
Mrs. Wilson, who was very deaf, fire.
quently walked the railroad track as
short cut to her work and was unab lie to
hear the engineers warning, but it is
thought that she felt the jar as she was
about to turn around when struck.
The train was in charge of engineer
Gus Mangan and Conductor William
Gillian and no blame is attached to the
train crew as the engineer did all in his
power to stop the train.
Mrs. Wilson was resident of this
town for large number of years and
for the past Is years lived alone in Bak-
cry lane. She came here from st.
Louis, Mo-, and previously lived in
Keokuk, and other places in Iowa.
She had no relatives in this section of
the country so far as is known. She
was hard working woman who went
out to do house-work and had many
friendly patrons. She was also an ex-
pert in the line of needlework and fancy
work. She was devout member of
the Methodist church and her Christian
spirit was ever manifest.
The funeral was held at the under
taking parlors of A. J. Biackmer on
Tuesday morning at II o'clock, and was
largely attended. Rev. D. H. Corkran
offered prayer. The body was taken on
the south-bound flyer for Keokuk, Ia,
where it was learned the dead woman
has two nieces living. There is also a
sister believed to be living in the west
from which Mrs. Wilson has not heard
in over 80 years.
