noticed that Earl Simonds leaned
heavily against the bridge and his hat
was seen to fall into the river.
Samuel Reigles, who resides near and

dim light that there was a tragedy.
He was removed in an unconscious
condition to the office of the Macarthur

Passed Nearly Through His Head.

When an examination was made by
young Simonds just above the left ear
and passed nearly through his head.
The skull was broken on the opposite
side where it had been impeded in its
course. He did pot SPEAK word and
did not regain consciousness after the
accident happened.
g. A. Melzl was summoned and the
body was removed to the home of the

Second Tragedy in Family.
This is the second tragedy in the
Simonds family. Another son lost his
life in similar manner while hunting
some years ago.
Several Visit the Scene.
The spot where the accident took
place was known in the old days as
the Baker bridge, but with the build
ing of the Nc Arthur mill it is now
familiarly spoken of as the linen mill
or Chenille bridge. 1t is one of the
beauty spots on the river. The view
up and down stream, the never end
ing of the falling water over the dam,
the flow of the spring through a pipe
into the river, the contented fisher
men along the banks and the great
forest trees lining the shore, make a
picture which attracts visitors. during
the days of spring, summer and
autumn.
! Many visited the spot today but all
that was visible was the life blood
which had been accidentally spilled
upon the bridge in the early evening.
The bright spring sun was trying to
forget that such had been.

A Tribute to William ]. BRYAN.

Auburn, n Y, July 3.-The Cay

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

In Louisiana the primary election
law is of greater Importance to the
citizens than the State or general
election law 1t is by primary cleo
tons that the nomination of -candl-
dates are secured. The primary law
is and should be as a bulwark to
Democracy and therefore it should
be relieved of every faint which
would make fraud possible.
There has been great contention
over the assistance" clause which
the Ringsters and Bosses have in
terpreted to mean that assistance
could be given any voter requesting
aid in making his ticket. Through
the assistance" clause as the Ring
sters and Bosses would have it there
was offered the opportunity for the
preparation of the rankest of fraud
at primary elections.
Against such fraud Governor Hall
made plain his opposition and de-
manded that the law be so amended
as to secure fair and honest cleo
tons in Louisiana.
As provided in the Johnson bill
which unquestionably will become a
part of the primary election law, it
will be required:
First-That no one can secure as
sistance at the polls unless he is
physically disabled or can not read
or write.
Second-That affidavit will be re-
quired for any one asking assistance
who is registered under the educa-
tional clause, false swearing leading
to perjury charges.
Third That sample ballots will
be provided for aiding.
Fourth-That a system of perfo-
rated slips officially numbered and
attached to the ballots will prevent
the endless chain racket.

A DISGRACEFCL ENCOUNTER.

On July /, at Las Vegas, y. NJ.
there was enacted pugllistlc con
test between two brutes Jack John
son, a negro. and jim Flynn, white
man. The details OF this brutality
have been given in full in many
newspapers, while in others this en-
counter has been noticed with alb
breViatiOnS. It is claimed, as pre-
tense wa ranting such an outrage
on decency and good morals, that
the craving o fthe public for such
matter must be satisfied
Such pretext is almost equally
as vicious as the encounter with al.
its demoralizing and degrading in
fluences.
And still more abhorrent was this
encounter, contest, in which 8
white man leveled himself to the
plane of the negro.
The white man was whipped, anC
there should be no sympathy wasted
on him.
In his triumph the negro. will
scarcely contain himself. Already
bold and arrogant, he will inflict his
insoIence on white men who will
not dare resent or resist him DELHI
crate rudeless and insults.
The Caucasian is not Of Puritani-
cal tendency, but it would declare
without hesitation that such en-
counters should be made impossible
at least in communities claiming
some degree of Responsibility.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

During the week in two railroad
accidents, so-called, score of pas
sengers were killed and a hundred
or more were injured, some fatally
which will increase the list OF the
dead.
These passengers We're travelling
in the hope of reaching their desti-
nation safely. In travelling they had
assumed the reasonable risk OF
travel, but they had not imagined
that they would have been made to
suffer through the criminal neglect
and recklessness of the men IN the
employ of these railway companies
OF late railroad accidents, which
more directly styled should be rail
road homieides, if not murder by
railroads, have been frequent. In
deed. so often have these wrecks oc-
cured until they haNe and are a..
tracing little comment. except the
condemnation arising from the rel
atives and friends of the victims.
Human life has indeed been
cheapened in recent years, and the
killing OF women and children and
men in railroads wrecks is accepted
as matters of fact incident to the
daily routine of life.
There should be some way and
some means of holding to the strict
est accountability not only the en-
ployes of the railroads who. las a
rule, are directly accountable for
such horrors, but the companies on
whose roads such accidents occur.

Phanor Breazeale Against AsweII.

Prof. Aswell, a proposed candidate
for Congress from the Eighth Dis

Eighth Congressional District, but
he has receded and has wired a tel

his name from a previous telegram

Aswell's proposed candidacy for
Congress, please advise representa-
