kille 1 by the Care.

Last Wednesday evening the east
bound freight train, which leaves this
city at O'Clock, struck and instantly
killed Dennis Mcdonald, on the big
curve at the head of the grade, one
mile north of Darlington. The train
took the remains to that city and the
following morning they were taken to
the Mcdonald homestead in Fayette.
Deceased was about thirty years old
and was employed by Nicholas Meylor
as farm hand. About an hour before
the accident he was seen going up the
track toward Meylor's. The engineer
stated that as his train came around
the curve, he saw Mcdonald asleep
alongside the track. He applied the
air-brakes and vainly tried to stop the
train, but the pilot struck Mcdonald {
head killing him instantly The facts
were so plain that no inquest was held.

DEATH AND DEVASTATION.
Omaha, Nebraska, and Terre Haute, In

Hundreds of Lives, Millions of Property
Thousands of Cripples the Toll

Easter Sunday closed in a shockingly
sad way for many hundreds Of good
American citizens in and about the
hustling cities Of Omaha, Nebraska,
and Terre Haute, Indiana, all because
Of terrible tornadoes. The visitation at
Omaha was in the early part of the
evening, and at Terre Haute a little
later
Reports from Omaha are to the ef-
feet that 200 persons were killed, $50
manned, 600 homes demolished and 600
or more other buildings damaged To
make it more horrifying fire broke out
IN the debris. The momentary loss is
estimated at s., 900, 600
At Terre Haute and its suburbs the
dead number Is or more, injured $50 at
least, 275 homes destroyed and other
property damage amounting in value
to 81, 900, 600
Some former Pointers now living in
Omaha had narrow escapes and some
lost property. Mrs Frank Jeuck has
received a note from her cousin, Myrtle
Wearne that was, to the effect: 1--WE
are all safe. II was terrible tornado;
dead and dying lying all around We
were in its path but for some reason
we were spared And relatives here
have learned that John }. Toms sus-

Sent Obscene Letters Through Mails

George Twining, a single man, resi-
dent of Lancaster, was arrested recent
ly upon complaint Of postofice inspec-
tor Jud Walker, of Boscobel, and was
turned over to the United States
marshal, who took him to Madison for
hearing before the United States COM
missioner, upon the charge of sending
obscene matter through the mails to
several persons in Lancaster
The seriousness of the offense seems
to be just dawning upon Twining, who
now finds himself in a most unpleasant
predicament The punishment he is
likely to receive should be a warning to
all, especially the younger people, of
the danger of sending through the mails
matter Of an improper character.

EASTER DAY.

Easter is not alone Of religious sig
nifcance to the world at large, but it
also embodies an equally solacing mean
to mankind Of renewed health and hu-
man happiness, as pure and uplifting
as It's lily blossoms that creep through
the lingering snow-drifts, aIlured by
the sunIit rays Of the springtide
Easter seems to be, as it were, the
stepping stone safely reached after
bounding the chasm Of winter to a
brighter side Of life, where we may
gain a safer tenure Of Christianlike ex-
istence. It also symbolizes even a re-
newed hope for earthly benefcences
from the hands Of the Redeemer, after
our long Imprisonment, perchance, in
some tomb Of human despair, surround
ed by overwhelming shadows through
which the light Of faith never hereto
fore penetrated
Easter yields unto us all a mystical
solace by lts influence Of flower and
bird, and sunlit beauty, and it's echoes
Of Iosanoa creeping forth from every
altar and shrine in Christendom.

THE LOGIC OF DENVER'S THE
ATER COLORPHOBlSTS

The equality of rights before the
law begets equality of opportunities.
Equality of opportunities begets
friends, confidence and security. In
equality of rights makes unequal con-
ditions, which in turn begets injustice,
discrimination and hatred. The logi-
cal end of hatred is murder. Race
determinations are the traditional
methods of hatred of human beings.
It's end is lynching, war and eXter-
mination. To say this thus bluntly
and brutally is to invite strong denial.
Race prejudice has often been pro-
fessed by men of highest ideal and
motive, who would shrink at violence
O fany kind. But this is because such
men are deliberately illogical. and
their followers in the long run are not
illogical, but carry their leaders doc
trine to the bitter end. For instance,
rit is said this group of people are in
ferior to my group. Therefore they
are not entitled to the same pr1Vl-
leges But suppose they demand
rights beyond their desert, then re-
fuse them: II they keep demanding,
silence them by law; if legal means
do not keep them i'll their place, mob
law is justifiable. Thus the doctrine
of race inferiority runs down to MUIR
der. Let us trace it in this country
since the war. Negroes, being IN
ferior, ought not to vote, said the re-
construction protesters. The nation,
therefore, consented to their disfran-
chisement with the distinct under
standing that all their other rights and
privileges We're to be preserved. But
if man is not fit to vote why educate
him and make him discontented? Con-
seouently there was a movement
against education which was so sue
cessful that today there are 100000
Negroes not even enrolled and practi-
cally half the Negro children in the
land are not being decentl ytrained in
elementary schooling. True, but one
will give them good industrial train
ing make them skilled workmen, so
that they ca nsave their money and
sbuy property. No, answers the white
workman TREY will compete with me
an dlower my wages. NO, cries the
home-owner, | don't want Negroes in
my block Very well, says the COM
promiser, segregate Negroes IN
Ghetto. But, answered the Negro, the
Ghetto is in the worst part OF the city,
is unhealthy, ill-cared for. filled with
prostitutes whom you lsegregate Win
us, and we can't better our conditlon
because we cannot vote. What theh
is the next step? Are we not barking
right back to slavery? Is there any
logical resting place on this down
ward path between a theory OF lnferl-
ority and a theory of mob violence
and extinction? No. The man VINO
begins by saying, This man is not
entitled to equal rights with me" ends
by either himself saying or letting
others say, Lynch the Niger" What
lies beyond if the nation, the state,
the city will allow these attacks upon
struggling, persevering people to
succeed? DUBOIS.

INfl|CTs DANGEROUS
WOUND
VIM. d. Powell, While Temporarily
Deranged, Attempts Suicide.

While suffering from sudden
arrangement of the mind last night,
Mr.. William D. Powell, who lives
on Oakley street, left his home
and sought refuge from imaginary
pursuers in the lowland in the
rear of the Oakley Beach property,
and believing that his wife had
fallen into their hands, attempted to
take his own life.
The facts, as learned from an
intimate friend of the family today,
were as follows:
Mr.. Powell, who at times drinks
heavily. had been unwell for sew
eral days, and had taken but very
little whiskey during the past few
days. During the middle Of the
night he awakened his wife and
told her to get up and come with
him, as the house was being at
tackled by a number of men. While
he hurriedly packed up some Of
the silverware, Mrs. Powell called
DIR. E. e. Wolff. and asked hi4
to come at once and I. 80 ;1.
lance. as Mys -
fneir nome. &ore. however
Wolff could reach the house. n
Powell completed his work
packing and called to his wife
slip out with him.
After falling into ditch, Mr4.
Powell returned to the house and
met DR.. Wolff, who was accompa1
ed by members of the police force,
and as soon as she had explained
the situation to them, search was
instituted for Mr.. Powell, who was
found after a considerable length
of time. He was suffering from "a
wound which he had inflicted in
his side with knife, while labor
ing under the belief that he had
failed to protect his wife from the
attacking party. He was taken
hurriedly to the hospital, where his
wounds were treated, and where 1t
was stated today that they would
not likely prove dangerous. His
mind. however, upon the subject of
the attack. is unimproved, he still
being obsessed with the idea that
his home is in danger.
