The Music Of The Guns.

The splendid energy of the at.
tacks made by the French in the
Verdun region and by the ltal.
ians in the Izonzo section is cal
culated to smash the hopes of the
Teutons for an early peace favor
able to them. They see in these
offenses, together with the colos.
sal operations of the French.
British armies in Flanders, the
evidence OF unending warfare un.
til they are beaten out ofinvaded
territories, theircrimes punished,
and their bloody hands shackled
against further outrage.
The thunder OF the gums in be-
half of Right is noble music! 1t
is the deep and majestic harmony
OF nature itself, restoring health
to mankind. Whether this thun.
der rolls through the Alps and a.
long the blue Adriatic, or wheth.
er it crashes through the ruins OF
Verdun and echoes in the noun.
tains OF Alsace, it carries the
some message OF deliverance from
alien bondage. To the oppress.
or it is the crack OF doom itself,
for he cannot escape. 1t is the
storm that will rend his empire
in twain, shiver his throne and
dash him to pieces. But to the
oppressed it is divine music, glor-
iously reverberating and sub.
timely powerful.
On the day when the might and
majesty OF the United States join
this deep chorus on the battle
field Americans will rejoice and
be refreshed. The physical pow
er of this nation needs to be ex.
erted in championship of the
rights of man. The nation will
be a thousand times better and
stronger after it has fought val.
iantly for the right and ruthless.
ly trampled down the wrong.
There are too many weeds, too
much rank growth, too many
snakes in the grass, too many
slackers and copperheads. Away
with them! Let Americas glor.
ious house OF liberty be cleansed
and make fit for the habitatiOn
of strong men and good women;
and let the enemy get such q
taste OF Americas steel that he
will never again have either the
power or the win to raise his
hand against the freedom or the
honor of this republic.-Wash.

On Sunday evening Aug. 1S,
Will Edmisten, OF fRosedale, Ind,
arrived at the home OF his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. F. Edmis-
ten, just east of the village, pre-
sumably on a visit, as he had
been here different times since he
left for Indiana about five years
ago. The home folks were enjoy.
ing the company of the son and
brother to the fullest, little drea-
ming OF the fearful pail that ere
long was to settle down \upon
the happy home. On Wednesday
the ..22, the carrier on Route l
took a special delivery letter to
Mrs. Edmlsten (Will's mother)
from her niece in Indiana, which
follows:
carbon, Ind, Aug. 1S.
"DEAR AUNT NAN:
'Thate to break the news very
much, but some one came in over
to Lola's (Wilrs wlfe) and al
most killed her, and shot Mary,
(his six year.old daughter) thru
the head. Her brains are running
out through the place where she
was shot. She will not live. Will
can't be found any place. Lola is
in a bad condition. She is almost
scalped, and hurt otherwise. This
letter will have to be short and
sad news. Lola and Mary are in
the hospital but Mary will not
get well.
"As ever,
"LOLA."
1t is said that when the letter
was read by the husband and ia.
ther, he was almost overcome
with grief. A copy of the letter
was made at once and sent to bis
father-in-law, MIR. Pink Parlier,
at Horton, with a request that
be come to see him without de-
lay. Mr.. Parlear, knowing that
Edmisten and his wife had new.
er lived happily together. suspi-
cioned that he was guilty of the
dobule crime, and paid no heed to
the invitation to visit him. A
warrant was sworn out by Mr..
Chas. Critcher, Edmisten's broth
erin-law, and the same night the
suspect was taken into custody
by Sheriff Moody. On Thursday
evening the Sheriff sent a mes
sage to the Indiana authorities,
telling them that Edmisten was
being held charged with t b e
crime. and on Friday morning he
received this reply: y.
'Rosedale, Ind, Aug. "a.
"SBERlFF WATAUGA COUNTY.
"Please arrest Mr.. W. M. Ed
misten for probable murder OF
his child. Wire at my expense.
"SHERIFF OF PARK County,

Then, the same afternoon, the
Sheriff received this telegram:

On receipt of the first telegram
MIR. Edmisten, who had been held
under guard since his arrest, was
placed in Jail. When the second
came, he was asked il he was will
ling to return with the Indiana
authorities, he promptly replied,
