COUNTY DELEGATION MEETS
With Citizens to Discuss Meas
ures Affecting Public Welfare.

WIN SIuZShS ~ NAoSoS
ures Affecting Public Welfare.
A meeting of the citizens of Will
liamsburg county was held Monday
in the court house for the purpose
of discussing certain measures TO be
considered by the delegation at the
approaching session of the General
Assembly.
Mr. B B Chandler stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and asked P H
Stoll, Esq, to act as chairman. Mr.
B Wallace Jones. Jr, was requested
to act as secretary.
1t was moved that the following
recommendation be made to the del
egation: That prohibitive or maxi
mum license under the State law be
enacted for this county for the buy
ing of and dealing in seed cotton.
A resolution was carried that the
delegation be requested to have the
law repealed as to the special whis-
key constable for Williamsburg
county and that as a substitute a
contingent fund of $500 or moro be
placed in the hands of the Sheriff to
be used for the better enforcement
of the prohibition law.
A motion prevailed to recommend
to the delegation that the law as to
the Communication tax for the work
ing of roads be changed so as to
make the road tax compulsory, as is
the poll tax, and not leave the al
ternative of working the road in
lieu of the payment of the money.
There were ABOUT so or IS people
present at this meeting, most Of
them representative citizens from
various sections, and all the subjects
brought up were discussed, at times
in a spirited manner. The consensus
of opinion seemed that the present al
legged prohibition law isaconsummate
farce on account of the lack of en-
forcement that obtains. That more
vigorous measureswere needed in en-
forcing the law all were agreed and
most of those who expressed an
opinion appeared to favor the ex-
pertinent of special constable to
cooperate with the Sheriff, at his
discretion.
The meeting was called immedi-
ately after the land sale, about l
o'clock, and lasted for an hour or
longer. There were many things
more that might have been proper
ly considered, but at that hour of the
day it was hard to hold the crowd
together. The call of hunger is hard
er to resist than the still small voice
of duty. especially when that duty
appertains in an abstract way to the
public welfare.
However that may be, these meet
ings are undoubtedly helpful. Moth
ing for the public good is accom-
plished save by agitation and some
times a very small wavelet at the
start gains impetus that raises it
mountain high and swamps all OBJ
stacles before it.

LABOR AND TRADE EDUCATION.

effort to overcome the evil enects Oh
specialization in printing offices when
prevents many apprentices from nav
ing opportunities to do the better
classes Of work. The lessons are given
by correspondence. and students are
taught the principles underlying dls-
play and decorative Typography. The
book contains examples of work done
bv students before and after taking
the course These specimens show con-
cllsiyely the value of the education
given in the lessons.
The course is not wholly for 1neNper-

positive Identification at Omaha Tues
day Of the body of floater found in
the Missouri river near Florence Sun
day BY number Of boys as that Of one
Of the men who murdered Marshal
Butcher at Missouri Valley last We'd
nesday. it appears that retribution
quickly overcame one Of the fugitive
criminals.
The body was found Sunday and
buried Monday in the potters field by
the Omaha authorities. When found the
corpse was attired in a shirt, one sleeve
Of which had been torn away and had
on pair Of purple socks.
On an island along the river near
Mondamin, to which the fugitives were
driven on Friday, pair of shoes,
stained inside with purple dye. were
found by the posse Saturday. With
the shoes was found a sleeve which
corresponds to that missing from the
floater's raiment.
The body was exhumed on Tuesday
and viewed by Sheriff Rock. Attorney
NJ. B. Bradley and Treasurer Pitt, OF
Harrison county and by swelled wrist
which had been noticed by one OF the
hobo witnesses to the murder. was
identified as one Of the men wanted.
The body when found bore evidences
Of having been in the water for tWen-
ty-four hours or more. 1t is believed
that the fugitives took refuge in the
river when the posse advanced on the
island Friday evening and that the
man whose body was found was
drowned in an attempt to swim across
the river. 1t Is possible that the other
fugitive met similar fate.
The body has been partially identified
as that Of Edward Parslow, Of Daven-
port, Iowa. A pawn ticket found on
the body, dated the day before the
murder, for watch left at an Omaha
loan office, bore this name and bag
gage check also found on the body was
made out at Davenport Iowa. in the
same name. The disposal Of the body
is not yet determined upon.

Kindred Spirits.


Nothing Is more certain than that
our manners, our civilization and all
the good things which are connected
with civilization have. in this European
world of ours. depended for ages upon
two principles. and were indeed the
result of both combined; mean the
spirit of q gentleman and the spirit Of
religion. The nobility and the clery,
the one by profession. the other by
patronage. kept learning in existence
even in the midst Of arms and con-
fusion, and while governments were
rather in their causes than formed.
Learning paid back what 1t received
to nobility and priesthood, and paid It
with usury, by charging their ideas
and by furnishing their minds.-Ed-
