Couldn't Escape.

She led the Bashful One into the
conservatory, where the strains from
the Blue Siamese band foated out to
them, and the creepers crept coyly
over the rookery, and even the gold
fish seemed to bubble with love. She
led him to two chairs which had seal
ed the future of thousands.
I am afraid" said the Bashful
One furtively, after she had led him
farther still, that your father would
hardly give his consent"
MY father is always willing to
listen to reason" she urged.
But your mother"
absolutely dotes on you, George. %
"M'yes. But you would never get
on with my own people, I'm certain. y
"Why, dear, 1 simply love them!'
"And, of course, my income is
small"
Luxury" she cried, clasping her
hands, has ceased to possess charms
for me! I think it would be SO
heavenly to have Z cozy little cot
tage, where 1 could do all the cook
ing myself"
"Well, confound it, then,' he ex-
claimed, lets get married. '-Ex-

SKULL BROKEN BY BRICK.
Assailant of Young Seneca Man
Sought by Police.

Seneca, Jan. 29.-Leland Crooks,
a young saw mill laborer, living near
Seneca, was hit on the head Satur-
day night with a brick thrown by a
negro named Buster Harris, which
| fractured his skull. Crooks's condi-
tion is serious, although it is thought
that he is slightly better to-day. The
negro escaped and is still at large.
Crooks was carried to drug store,
where medical aid was secured. 1t
was found that the frontal bone had
been hit by the brick, causing frac-
ture Of about two inches and leaving
dent an inch deep in his forehead.
From what can be learned, Crooks
and a companion named White were
walking along the west end of Main
street, when Harris collided with
White. A row followed between him
and White and the negro, it seems,
picked up a brick with the threat
that he would break his (White's)
head. Crooks stepped between the
two and stopped the brick with his
head. After hitting g Crooks, the mis-
sile bounded off, breaking a large
plate glass window. Before those
who witnessed the assault could re-
cover from their surprise the negro
had taken flight and they were un-
able to overtake him. He was locat-
ed early Sunday morning by the po-
lice and two officers went to arrest
him. He jumped from a window,
clad only in a suit Of underwear,
and after a fight with the officers
again escaped and has not been cap
tured. There is no unusual excite
ment over the deed.

CompuIsOry Education.

The Newberry Herald and News
and the Anderson Intelligencer do
not have many things in common,
but they are virtually alone among
the papers of the State in the sup
port of Gov. Blease, and it is par
ticularly interesting, therefore, IN
view of the governors well known
attitude toward compulsory educa-
ton to find both of them earnestly
championirg it, as result of their
Individual observation of actual con-
ditions. The Intelligencer in it's last
issue calls the attention of its readers
to the fact that at recent examlna-
ton for carrier for rural free de-
livery route in Richland county the
highest rating was made by a negro
woman. The negroes, it says, are
sending their children to school now,
at whatever sacrifice to themselves,
while too many white parents are
neglectful of this duty. "The time
to educate children says the Intel
ligcncer, "is when they ale young
and ambitious and if the parents Will
not attend to this matter, the State
should compel them, for it is the
duty of every parent to see that his
children have an equal show in this
world with the people with whom
they have to compete for living

MRS. COPE WINS.

"It does not require much to libel a
woman" Judge Pollock said, "and
from the tones of the letter 1t is Inn
piled that the plaintiff is untruthfuI
then overruled and the court an
nounced that it would hear the testi-
mony at the April session in Topeka.
This is the first action in the series
of sensational Cope cases pending in
the federal court and was a victory for
Mrs. Cope. Her action against Mrs.
George o. Robinson of Detroit, in
which she sought $4,000 damages for
Moore letter, was continued at the
March term of the Wichita court. The
$4,000 suit against Bishop Moore was
filed last November while the bishop
and his party were in Topeka, a week
after the filing of the Robinson case
in Wichita.
The fractional feeling which arose in
Methodist church and missionary cir
cles because of the Bishop Moore letter
and the disposition of property held in
trust by the Cope" missionary society,
has been nation wide in its effect.
Bishop Moore is one of the most widely
known Bishops of the Methodist
church, while Mrs. Robinson is the
wife of Detroit millionaire banker and
has for several years been prominent in
missionary work. She has held many
high offices and is a heavy contributor
to Methodist missionary funds Mrs
Cope, the Topeka woman, has for many
years been in the high offices of the
church and missionary organizations.
1t was following the circulation of the
Bishop Moore letter that she was GUST
ed from office and a new church body
organized that took over the legacfes
which her society had invested. This
trouble is still in the courts
Several motions in the Cope-Locke
case, which followed the reorganiza-
ton of the missionary society, were
heard yesterday afternoon in Judge
Whitcomb's division of the district
court. It was held that in the dis
tribution of the funds of the Fannie
Murray legacy, that relatives of the
woman might interplead in the fight
for possession of the $4,000 estate.
These heirs of the Murray woman
have already prepared to fight for the
property rights and will oppose this
distribution of funds by either of the
missionary societies.

MAYOR ISSUES A STATEMENT.
Says Law Enforcement Has Brought
About the Trouble.

Schriver issued the following state
ment from his office in the city hall
after a conference with the other city
commissioners:
I'VE are devoting our time to restor-
ing order I feared trouble last night
and yesterday talked with citizens as
to the Hisest course to pursue. I did
not want to interfere with free speech,
but was anxious to prevent disturb
anceS and violence.
ct had a talk with E. E. Gardner,
editor of the Tri-City Labor Review,
Who, as thought, was to be the only
speaker last night and assured him of
the desire of the administration that
he be allowed to make his speech UNI
molested and urged him to refrain
from inflammatory utterances.
Il told him to go ahead with his
plans for the recall If he saw fit and
to say what he pleased about my ad-
ministration or official acts but to
keep within rational lines in what he
had to say.
Gardner informed me that he had
no intention or desire to create dis
turbance and that he would caution
what am told now, he kept his word.
1t was nothing that he said that
aroused the mob spirit as far as
know.
''The police were particularly care
full to do nothing that would start
trouble They stood bravely through
all kinds of taunts and ridicule on the
street, submitted themselves to as
sauIts with brickbats and rocks and fin
ally, when three of them were driven
to the river bank without resistance
on their part, they found refuge in the
police station.
when the mob came down to the
police station the police did not open
fire until they found they were trapped
and then they fired several volleys
over the heads of the crowd after
Commissioner Hart had gone out in
front of the station and urged the mob
in kindly terms to dispense. He was
met with jeers and taunts and a fusil-
lade of brickbats.
1.-The shots were fred into the
crowd only after most of the windows
in the city hall and station had been
broken and several policemen inside
had been hit with bricks and stones.
1.-THE whole trouble from it's inception
may be traced to the fact that I en-
forced the law against disorderly sa-
looms and chop suey joints. That is
what brought forth the attack upon
me by the Looney paper and It is at
the bottom of the entire disturbance.
1--WE are not going to quit now until
we restore order and rid the city Of
the elements of disorder and defiance.
Further public assemblages where
political addresses may be made will
not be allowed until quiet is restored
and the saloons of the city will be
closed for the present.
