LUCIJJS MEEK DIES
AT FARMINGTON

Pennington. May 2e.-Lucius S.
Meek, aged IS years, died Saturday
morning. He had been an invalid and
almost blind for the past few years. He
was a native Of Ohio and came to this
city in 1910. Without enlisting, he saw
service during the civil war as a per-
sonal bodyguard to his brother-in-law.
Gen. James NJ. Tuttle. After the close
Of the war, he served in the revenue
service for several years, returning to
Pennington about 1888. For more than
twenty years he and his brother occu-
pied the old Meek homestead on Elm
street, until its partial destruction by
fire about a year and a half ago. Mr..
Meek never married. He leaves two
brothers, Fayette, of Des Moines, and
Moses S., of Pennington, and three
sisters, Mrs. Frank Clapp of Texas,
Mrs. T. J. Nash Of Minneapolis, and
Mrs. John Therme of Keosauqua. He
was a man Of more than ordinary abil-
ity and education, and until stricken
with blindness kept himself well in
formed with current history and, was
accurate in his knowledge. 1t
is probable that Van Buren, county
never had another citizen who. could
read from the Latin text as readily as

The badly mangled remains of an
unidentified man were found this morn
ing about o'clock near the c.. B. & Q
tracks in the vicinity Of Franklin park
E. M. Epperson, engineer OF switch en-
gtne No. 1902 discovered the dead
man. The remains were brought to VINE
street by the switching crew and later
were removed to the undertaking par
lors of c. T. Sullivan.
Indications point to the man being
hit by an engine and thrown beneath
the train. The entire scull was cut OF.
There is a sufficient portion of the face
left to easily identify him, should he be
known. The right arm was cut off at
the shoulder and the left arm was cut
off between the wrist and the elbow.
The right leg was broken below the hip
and the body was crushed.
The deceased was a good sized man,
between 165 and $50 pounds
and about feet, 7 to 9 inches in height.
He was rather muscular and his hands
would indicate that he was a labOrer.
He wore a dark suit Of clothes, prac-
tically new. He had a new leather belt
and a dark gray shirt with. black
stripes. Also a new pair of tan button
shoes, size No. 8 and a black SLOUGH
hat. He had very dark grey eyes, rath-
er large mouth and a wide forehead. 1t
Is thought that he must have been kill
ed early in the evening as his clothing
was soaked through. An inquest Will
be conducted some time today by Cor
oner J. w. EleriCk.

Comment,
PLAIN TALK FROM A PLAIN OLD
COUNTRYMAN

Dear Sir: Is the Atlanta Consti-
tuition a Catholic paper? Seems so
from an editorial in issue of Oct.
25th. Editor says something like
this, with Mr.. Watson's attack on
organized religion The Constitution
has neithr sympathy nor patience,
etc., etc." We who read after Mr.
Watson know that he does not attack
religion. Mr.. Watson, perhaps if you
would put the pope's picture on your
front page occasionally you might
get a pat on the back from some of
your contemporaries. Yes, and you
might tell your subscribers all about
the Frank case, the King case, the
Eaton trial over in Massachusetts.
Should you run short on murder
trials and rape scrapes you might
give us Harry Thaw's picture and a
whole lot of Whiskey ads In con-
clusion will say, go it Mr.. Watson,
the great common people are with
you. You are lighting light in our
once happy country that never will
be put out, but will continue to glow
when you are no more.
Your friend,
ALFRED MADDOX.

THIS ONE COMES FROM LITTLE
OLD NEW YORK

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Congratu-
1ations. felt like going down to
give you hand, but 1 knew you did
not need it.
The New York papers, though all
mentioning it, say that the indict-
ment is quashed, but the Govern
ment has a right at any time to pro-
coed to reindict.
Will you kindly send me the last
few numbers Of The Jeffersonian
weekly and the new numbers that
will treat Of the trial, and also your
speech therein? Any charge, of
course, will be pleased to pay.
With best wishes, l am,
Sincerely yours

Z. g. X. Hutchens Asks Some Fair Questions
It Senator Smith, Absentee From Duty!

who dared to disobey his commands
last year.
Perhaps he came to explain why
he has loaded down with appoint
ments the officers and stockholders
of the Fulton National Bank in At
lanta, bank in which he is princi-
pal holder and for which he is gene
raj counsel.
Perhaps he came to see if he could
get the Legislature that elected him
to work some scheme to do it again.
These may or may not be the rea-
sons of his visit to Georgia.

HAG seems strange to me is,
A why the resignation of Car
ten Tate, as District Attorney
~ for the Northern District of
Georgia, was asked for, while
lMr. Alderman, who is a Republican,
lis allowed to hold over. Tate is a
Il Democrat. Senator Smith is in alb
Assolute control of the patronage of
Worth Georgia, and why he brought
about Tate's resignation, or
acquiesced in such being done is a
mystery, unless it was that the
course pleased him. I am saying
nothing against Mr.. Alderman, he is
not to blame.
Senator Smith has been in Geor-
gia several days, presumably to look
after his political fences; at least
this is what is generally understood.
Away from his post of duty, along
with other Senators from other
States, when the business of the Uni
ted States Senate is such as to de-
! mand the presence of each of it's
members, and the business so urgent
that the Senators absent have had to
be requested to return. If the SEN
ate has no business before it, then it
should adjourn. If it has business
then the Junior Senator from Geor-
gia should be in Washington.
Il Perhaps he came to Georgia to
: tell why Senator Bacon was so badly
treated about the Vice-Presidency of
the Senate.
Perhaps he came to explain why he
was unwilling to let the people of
Georgia vote for or against him in
State primary.
Perhaps he came to explain why
Carter Tate's resignation was de-
manded, and Mr.. Alderman left in
Office.
Perhaps he came to explain why
he treated Charley Barrett and his
friends with silent contempt
Perhaps he came to explain why
! he has endeavored to outlaw thous-
ands and thousands of Democrats
