that to II alone belonged the delicate

alas for human irailties and the con-
science OF a brother. o tempora o
mores
The word "poor" hardly APP
plies to Charley Steunenberg.
He has enough OF this worlds
goods TO save him from being a
county charge; he is rich in being
endowed by Nature with splen-
did mentality, and conscience
that will not permit him to
swerve from the paths Of recti-
! tude; and he is rich in loyal friends
ia every section OF Idaho. He
needs no eulogy from the Herald,
or from any other source; he
needs none of the glory reflected
! by lis illustrious brother, who.
Tor his devotion TO the laws and
institutions of our state, paid
the maximum penalty, To endear
him to the hearts OF ldahoans.
His own manhood--his integrity
Ibis moral worth--constitute a
man OF whom every citizen OF
Idaho should be proud.
Had the editor OF the Signal
lived in Idaho, instead of the
state in which the appeal to
Reason is published, during the
/ times which preceded and fol-
lowed the murder OF Governor
Steunenberg, he would never
have written the above article.
IL should never have been written
anyway. The Signal editor has
been long enough in Idaho to
realize the depth OF horror and
indignation that prevailed on
account OF the assassination OF
ldaho's most illustrious ex-gov-
ernor. He should understand
that every citizen who did not
come to the assistance OF law
and order ut that time il, was,
aud should have been considered
n traitor TO his state. However,
ON account OF his previous eavir.
onment and his limited residence
in Idaho, we can, 20 some extent,
overlook his error in publishing
the article above.
The charge against Morrison
is well founded, being based both
ON the records OF the court, and
the knowledge OF those who
passed through the most critical
period OF idaho's history. Mr.
Morrison was neighbor, and

DEATH OF H. 8. PORTER,

kelton, April 29.-It has been quite
while since our community expe-
rienced such shock as 1t did last
Friday morning when the news was
spread in every direction that Mr..
II. s. Porter had died after lingering
only few hours, after he was strick-
en- with paralysis. He retired Thurs
day night about o'clock seeming as
well as usual; his daughters retired
about half past nine o'clock. They
heard him breathing very hard and
went to his room and found him un-
conscious
DR.. Geddis of Kelton was sent for
at once and phone message was
sent to DR.. Montgomery of Union and
they decided at once that there was
no hope for him and he died Friday
morning at six o'clock.
Mr. Porter was about 50 years of
age. He came OF prominent families.
His mother was Miss McKissick be-
fore her marriage, sister to the late
Col. I. G.. McKissick. He was born
on Pea Ridge and lived there all his
life save three or four years just be-
fore the Civil War when he was in
Mississippi. Hs volunteered a -
outbreak OF the war between the
states in the 18th Mississippi Infantry
and was later transferred to the 7th
South Carolina Cavalry, Col. I. @. Nc
Kissick's old company and was with
Gen. Lee when he surrenderedc at Ap-
pomatox Court Hodse, Va, in April.
1855.
He was gallant Confederate sol
dier. His brother, Joseph Porter, q
lieutenant, was killed at Gettiesburg,
where so many brave soldiers fell.
He married Miss Mary 8. Gallman
and or this union six children were
born. three sons and three daughters
Joseph, David and Starks. and Mrs.
H. G. Little and Misses sallie and
Meivipia Porter, all living, and many
relatives and friends to mourn the

death of a good citizen.

He had two half brothers and one
whole sister, Mrs. r. N. Gallman liv-
Ing at his death. He was a great
talker and was always very cheer
full man. He was man of decided
convictions as to his duty. He was
like a solid rock but he was always
open to sound reasoning. He had
planned to go to the reunion at Ma
con, Ca, next month, but alas! he
has answered the last roll call and
has Joined the Great Reunion beyond.
He had been great sufferer for
many years, but you would not have
taken him to be sufferer, as he
looked hale and hearty and bore all
his sufferings with patience.
The death of a good citizen in any
community is great loss. He was
member of the Mt Joy Baptist
church for many years, and is the
third old veteran that has passed
away in our township this year. The
others were NJ C. Bailey and VIM.
Vanderford. He was buried bN his
brother Masons in the family bury
Ing grounds besides his wife. who
died several years ago. Revs. ]. L.
Hodges and J. H. Manly assisted In
the funeral services. The inclemen-
cy of the weather prevented very
large attendance at the funeral SER
vices. The bereaved family have the
sympathy Of the entire eommanitxnn

ment for Newspapers-Says
People are Competent to
Decide Whom They
Want.

Washington, April % 29.-Senator
Tillman Of South Carolina will be
"hands off" in the Palmetto State
gubernatorial election this year, ac-
cording to statement issued by him
here. For some time there has been
considerable speculation as to
whether he would support Judge Ira
B. Jones, who left the supreme court
bench to oppose Cole L. Blease, now
governor, for another term, or
whether he would support the gov
ernor. Some have said that he was
for Jones, while others have MAIN
tanned that he would stand by Blease.
All doubt, however, was set at rest
when the senator issued the follow
ing signed statement:
"My attention has been called to a
statement by the newspapers and ru-
mors in some parts Of South Caro-
lima that I have said would support
Governor Blease for reelection.
There are also rumors ana state
ments that am going W vote for
Judge JoIssss
IT want to say, once for all, that
! announced early last fall that
would be hands Off in the coming
fight for governor, and I take this
occasion to repeat that statement and
to assure the people of South Caro-
lima that, If I should see any reason
to change my attitude of impartiality
between the two candidates, will
announce 1t over my own signature.
II beg them to give no heed to any
statements, reports, rumors or asser-
tions coming from any source con-
trary to the above. It is none of my
business. The people are perfectly
competent to decide what man they
want for governor. and I shall leave
it tot hem."

ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Popular Letter Carrier Charged with
Stealing SO From Cash Drawer Of
Grocery Store Friends Shocked,
Hope it Is Mistake.

Jerome H. Gaffney, q well known
letter carrier. was arrested yesterday
on charge Of petit larceny made by
w. J. Woodruff, who alleges that Mr..
Gaffney took $19 from the till of
Bailey & Woodruff's grocery store on
Broad street about $3.50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Gaffney was
taken to the police station, where he
furnished $25 bond for his release.
He probably will be tried In police
court this morning. Mr.. Gaffney de-
MES that he stole the money
According to Mr.. Woodruff, money
had disappeared from the till of Bal
ley & Woodruff's store every now and
then for a month or more, but as no
record of sales was kept It was never
known exactly how much money was
in the cash drawer.
Wanted to Be on Gaurd.
About week ago, Mr.. Woodruff
said. he was told to keep an eye on
Mr.. Carney, who came into the store
nearly every afternoon, and, accord
ing to Mr.. Woodruff, made himself at
home, going behind the counter with
out question.
Money was missed from the cash
drawer Monday afternoon, according
to Mr.. Woodruff, and he decided to
set trap. He made a note of the
number OF the bills in one partition
and scratched mark on several of
the large silver coins.
Mr.. Carney came into the store
yesterday afternoon as usual. He was
not seen to open the cash drawer
but after his departure Mr.. Woodruff
says he noticed that SO, consisting
OF SO bill, a IS bill and four 81
! hills, was missing.
Protests Innocence.
He charged Mr.. Gaffney with the
theft, and the latter was arrested by
officers F. HI. Thomas, w. w. Little
John and NJ Lancaster and taken to
Bailey & Woodruff's store. He strong
ly protested his innocence. Accord
ing to Mr.. Woodruff, he gave the po-
lice the numbers of the stolen bills
and they found In Mr. Gaffney's pos
session a SO bill and two 81 bills
bearing the same numbers.
Mr.. Gaffney has been letter car
rier for SIS years. He has numerous
friends who were shocked by the
charge made against him and are
loath 20 believe It true. II 10 hoped
that 3 mfstake has been made.
Mr.. Carney has been suspended as
a letter carrier pending the outcome
OF the case. -Spartanburga Herald.
