Loses Friend.

The National Guard of the District OF
Columbia has lost from the present Con-
gress one of its strongest friends in Rep
resentative l. c. Dyer of st. Louis. Mo-.
who relinquished his seat in the House
late yesterday afternoon when that body
seated Michael J. Gill after two days
debate, by a vote of 147 to 80. Repre-
sentative Dyer. formerly a member of the
District of Columbia Volunteer Regiment
in the Spanish-American war. was the
author of the bill for the establishment
of modern armory. and has worked
faithfully for several years. before the
committee on public buildings and grounds.
for a favorable report on his measure.
The bill has not been reported. but there
has been every hope that it would be en-
acted before the next Congress.

Gill Makes Appeal.

Mr.. Gill remained on the floor Of the
House all day yesterday. and was
sworn in by the Speaker just before
adjournment. He had been granted the
privilege Of the floor. as is customary
in contest cases. and made q five
minute speech, in which he said, In re-
Spouse to certain accusations against
his side of the case:
II say this to you. paraphrastng the
language Of Robert Emmett when he ap.
pealed to his judges. If the souls OF
the faithful departed have anything In
common with those in this transitory
life, then I ask you, my beloved mother
who has long since gone to the world
beyond. to appeal to Almighty God T.
look down in my heart and there. II
there ever was a thought In my mind
that deviated from the principles OF
democracy or ever supported q repub-
lican for Office. hope it will exhibit
itself here on my face. SO that you men
on the democratic side will not be de-
ceived."
Later Representative Cooper of Wis
consin made reference to this appeal:
There is testimony given in the case
which Mr.. Gill has never denied. he
said. 1T is true in his speech today
he did call upon Robert Emmett and the
Lord, neither Of whom, however was a
witness in this case"

Blame Political Prejudice.

Republicans in the House and several
democrats believe that Dyer was I'M
seated owing to purely political preju-
dice. In fact, Representative Goldfogle
of New York, chairman OF the elections
committee. which sifted the evidence,
asked for further time to dig into the
mass of technicalities arising out Of ir-
regularities in certain St. Louis ballot
ing places. This was voted down. The
House also took the view that Repre-
sentative Dyer was not responsible for
the irregularities. and it was fairly well
shown that the trouble arose because of
ward political differences between vari-
Gus small leaders in st. Louis.
Representative Mann. republican floor
leader, pleaded with the House to be fair
and not allow politics to sway the vote.
He said that republicans had at one time
been prejudiced in election contests but
that they had made a record in later
years for fairness in deciding contests.
Representative Rucker of Missouri, dem.
ocrat, was particularly bitter against
Representative Dyer's claims. He made
the assertion that there had not been an
honest election in the precincts involved
for over a dozen years.

Indifferent to cases of hon

kinds of sympathy, sympathy
that fosters revolt and sympa-

TO remove the occasion for re-

The unfed can not be safely
dealt with in any wholesale way,
for some OF the unfed are re-
sponsible for their own hunger
and do not deserve to be fed.
When occupied a country pas
torate I was besieged by tramps
who stopped at my door and
asked for warm breakfast. The
continuance and frequency OF this
appeal became eventually not only
monotonous, but suspicious.

I then had a couple Of cords
of firewood brought into my back
yard, in fine condition to be
sawed and split. Thus fortified,
! responded to subsequent appeals
by promising a good breakfast to
everyone who would first devote
an honest hours work to that
woodpile.
The situation soon became mat
ter of common knowledge among
members Of the tramp fraternity,
and inside of month my house
was as cautiously avoided by
them as though house, woodpile
and all were infected with the
plague.

Every man who is sincerely

Dewey Dobson, fourteen year:
old, was shot thru the heart and
instantly killed by Marshall
Surnmey, thirteen years old, at
the residence Of Mr.. W. a.
Dobson, near Central, last Fri
day afternoon. The killing
was not intentional, but was
due to carelessness.
The boys had been rabbit
hunting and stopped at Mr.;
Dobson's (uncle of the dead boy,
for dinner. After dinner they,
with some other BOYS, were in
the yard playing and began
swapping guns at each other,
and the gun young Summey
pointed at the Dobson boy was
loaded, and fired. Just. before
the shot was fired Mrs. Dobson
had told the boys to be more
careful.
Magistrate Rowland held an
inquest and brought the Sum
mey boy to the sheriff at Pick,
ems. but Sheriff Roark had been
| to the scene and learned the
particulars, so he sent the boy
back home
