fearing to attempt we wish the words I cant and impossible were eliminated from the language of the young at least Because the road is rough and toilsome and the labor hard and vexing Is it right to falter when the prize is well worth the struggle The crown of victory is reserved for those who strive and however accl dent may seem to elevate another there is no royal road to for tune Thee victories worth having are rarely won by the I cants on the lips of the young no words sound so miserable as the shrinkings that betrays the cow aids spirit Seek not to do beyond your strength but having measured your means and faculties consider you can afford to tall Accept the full- est measure of toil and struggle brave- ly ¬ toward the top Remember that your burden bearing will give youe

KILLED o Wilmington Del Oct 12Mary Kosklski agtd 13 years daughter of Polish parenss was found dead in a ditch within a taw squares of her home Bradford street In South Wilming ton early today and investigation showed that she had been assaulted and thrown into the water From the tact that she had been assisting a sick neighbor last evening her parents sup- posed she was spending the night there and made no inquiry when she failed to return home The police officials are without a clew OBITUARY On Monday morning September 21 1003 this community asI intelligencey W H Wheathad been suddenly called to meet her God She had not beery sick but a- very short time and hersndden death came unexpectedly to her many friends and especially to parents who had never heard of her sudden illness She was a sincere Christian a devoted wife and loving and mod l mother She was nearing her thirtieth birthday She was reared ill Adair county and was a daughter- of Robert Humphrey She had many kind and loving friends in fact all who knew her loved her a amiable disposition and Christian characterI In her death the community has lost a friend the church an obedi ¬ nt member the household a de ¬ voted wife and three little boye dear and loving mother But what is to us an irrepara- ble ¬ loss is to her everlasting gain and peace So we console ours- elves with this truth that as she was an earnest Christian and in the very last hours of her life gave all the evidence that we couldd wish of her hopes of joy we should not weep and that while we grope about in sorrow for few more days that she has gono with the heavenly cohorts to sing tho sweet anthems of heaven So dear husband fathei moth ¬ er brother sister and dear little baby boys she has only bade you adieu for a little while and if you re only faithful you will meet heri again to part moreJOHN WHITE- Out in Kansas which is always dOIng something out of the usual line the school boards in a Dum- ber of counties and districts adopt ¬ d an iron oleo rule that they would employ no female teachers who would not agree neither to flirt become engaged nor marry while held said positions The schoolmistresses had nothing to do but submit to tho cruel de ¬ oision as they regarded it but bided their time and soon had things all their own way An election came off and the horrid men who constituted the school boards were ingloriously defeated and women were elected in their stead and now the schoolmaams can flirt to their hearts content and love and be loved just likeI other people BRAIN LEAKS It Jiakes at least two to gossip one to talk and one to listen The trouble with some people is that they mistake liberty for license A great many men who belong to church do not belong to anythIng else You may pray for what you want but God will RIve only what you need Speaking of world benefactor whats the matter with the individual who invented pumpkin pie The fatman deserves plenty of sym ¬ pathy No matter how badly he feel his wife will think he is shamming Man usually is willing to pay myr to be amused than instructd becau e be thinks that be already ° ows it all The husband who is always seeking to be a gojd fclUjyr11 usually KuccefdH only in giving his wife a bad time The man who Is too eocd to go to the pellis usually the mats who kicks louupst and loudest about the way I are being run tti t i > f i fC i T F rt- t yam CLAY WILL CASE TtiROWN OUT OF GQUNIY COURT Ric pond Ky Oct 12The will case of the late CassIus M Clay was brought upin the County conrt here to day Judge TurpIn heard argu- ment both for accepting and rejecting the will and a decision was announced rejecting it and the case was thrown out of the County court It will be- taken to the Clrcuitcourt TWO WOMEN President Roosevelt basthrongh his postmaster general removed from the Greenwood Del postJ office Miss Huldah B Todd on the specious plea that she is ob noxious to the mouthpiece of Gas Addicks Senator Allee Miss Todd had served five years as postmistress at Greenwood and had given the fullest satisfaction to the patrons of the office She was in no sense obnoxious to them She was first appointed to a fur- y ar term by President McKinley and after serving that was reap pointed by President Roosevelt She had served one year under her reappointment when her official head was chopped off tc meet the political demands of addioks and crowdMinnie Cox tendered her resig- nation as postmistress at Indiano la Miss but her resignation hue not beau accepted For about year now she has been carried upon the salary roll of the govern ment on the presidents orders though she has rendered not one cents worfeh of service She was personally obnoxious in her official capacity to the vast majority of the patrons of the office who had the temerity to say so in resolu- tions ¬ adopted in mass meeting She recognized the feat that her presence in the postoffice was ob- noxious ¬ to the vast maiority of patrons of the office and ten ered her resignation What explanation can be given of this wjdely different treatment accorded by President Roosevelt- to these two women Can it be possible that negro mgnia has been carried to the point where the blank sister is pro ¬ tooted and coddled and fed upon government pap simply becance is black while the white lady s thrown out of office solely be cause somebody who is the favor ¬ ite of some politician wants the job These questions are pertinent not impertinent The country would like to know the exact at titude of this administration to- ward women and it has right to knowAtlanta Constitution FROM TEXAS ABBOTT TEX Oct 6 1903 Editor of the News Kind sir thought I would step in and take a chat with you Well cotton

TO BUY KENTUCKY

The details of the conference recentely held in Indianapolis have just be-

come

¬

known and it brings to light astartling condition or affair reveallog how recklessly txe Republicansare bargaining In order to steal thevote of the Commonwealth and give itBelknap and the Republican Stateticket List week John W YerkesCommissioner of Internal Revenueslipped into Indianapolis from Wash-ington and was met there by SenatorFairbanks of Indiana the fugitive WS Taylor Dr W Godfrey HunterChairman of the Republican StateCampaign Committee J H Newmanthe figurehead chairman of the Com-

mittee and Collector ET Franks ofOwensbofo The results of that con

furecce arc numerousIn the fIrst place fugitive Taylor

who has always been Dr Huntersclosest friend armed to write to hisfriends in the mountains asking themto support Hunter for Congress in thatdlstrlct

In the second place in return for apromise of Kentuckys support foranything he may want Senator Fair-

banks agreed to see that Taylor isprotected in Indiana and it is said-

thationator Fairbanks futher prom=

to see that a campaign fund was inraised among the Indiana Republicans-

to be sent to Kentucky just before thecoming election The Republican ifcampaign committee have a larger corruptlon fund this year than they haveever had at any previous election con

sequently when Mr Faltbanks con

tribution is received from Indiana thesum will have grown to enormous

proportionsItof the Republicans to

flood the State with this money dur-

Ing¬

the laSt days of the campaign andto use it in an endeavor to buy thefloating vote and to corrupt the elec

officersMr Yerkes was more responsible for

the nomination of Mr Belknap thananv other man and Dr Hunter is now

managing Mr Belkuaps campaigntherefore even the presence of MrYerkes and Dr Hunter at a confer¬

ence with fugitive Taylor is sufficientor all thinking people to see clearly

that thcRapublican leaders of Kenincluding the nominee for Gov

trnor and the patron saint Yerkesindorse Taylor Powers and all

the other men charged vlth the murderof Wiliian Goebel No one doubts athat Taylor is lending his assistance toto the Kentucky Republicans now be-

cause¬

he knows he will be benefited by

overthrow of Democratic governwent in Kentucky-

It is astounding to see that Taylorhas sufficient influence auioun any

set of people in Kentucky to addressletters to them to secure their supportof any candidate In their presenceat Indianapolis Mr Yerkes and MrFranks are encouraging Internal RevIenue employes throughout the State totake an active interest in politic t5which is in direct violation of the Federal Statutes

T b e conference a t Indianapolisbrought to light any number of real =

cms why thinking persons should casttheir vote against time Republican party which allows such men as Taylorjiud Hunter to control and direct its

affairs11JIAT

COL BELKNAP ON KFNTUCKX

In his his speeches Col Morris 3Belknap the Republican nominee forGovernor has made and is making aserious reflection upon the women andmen of Kentucky who are known theaworld over as the truest and best themost hospitable and the most chival-

rous¬

In his opening speech at Mum

fordsville Col Belknap made thisstartling statement

Our young men are now hearingwhat manner of men these oldtimeKentuckians were and from themecomes the demand upon us for civicconditions that will restore to themtheir birthright We can not stop ourears to the call and with us now liesthe rcsponslbllito making this State

lit place for our sons and daughterslive in

This statement shows that Col Bel

knap has indeed a poor opinion of thepeople of his own State He says thatfKentucky is no fit place in which toIrear boys and girls Col Belknap Is

probably the only person who has evermade such an expression concerningthe old Commonwealth

The citizens of this State have alIways prided themselves upon their

Old Keatucky Home and Col Bel

kuap is the first person on record who

has ever said that Kentucky was no

place to rear boys and girls Col Bel

knapmust have a poor opinion of theState and the people of the State orhe would have made no such statementin his opening speech The good citi ¬

zens of the State should repudiatesuch a reflection upon the women otthe Cotumonwerlth by votlngagalnst tBelknap and the Republican Stateticket on Noeember 3

lost a friend the church an obedi ¬

nt member the household a de ¬

voted wife and three little boyedear and loving motherBut what is to us an irrepara-

ble

¬

loss is to her everlasting gainand peace So we console ours-

elves with this truth that asshe was an earnest Christian andin the very last hours of her lifegave all the evidence that we coulddwish of her hopes of joywe should not weep and thatwhile we grope about in sorrow for

few more days that she hasgono with the heavenly cohorts tosing tho sweet anthems of heaven

Out in Kansas which is alwaysdOIng something out of the usualline the school boards in a Dum-

ber of counties and districts adopt ¬

d an iron oleo rule that theywould employ no female teacherswho would not agree neither toflirt become engaged nor marrywhile held said positionsThe schoolmistresses had nothingto do but submit to tho cruel de ¬

oision as they regarded it butbided their time and soon hadthings all their own way Anelection came off and the horridmen who constituted the schoolboards were ingloriously defeatedand women were elected in theirstead and now the schoolmaamscan flirt to their hearts contentand love and be loved just likeIother people

BRAIN LEAKS

It Jiakes at least two to gossip one

to talk and one to listenThe trouble with some people is

that they mistake liberty for license

A great many men who belong tochurch do not belong to anythIng else

You may pray for what you wantbut God will RIve only what you need

Speaking of world benefactorwhats the matter with the individualwho invented pumpkin pie

The fatman deserves plenty of sym ¬

pathy No matter how badly he feelhis wife will think he is shamming

Man usually is willing to pay myrto be amused than instructd becau e

be thinks that be already ° ows it all

The husband who is always seekingto be a gojd fclUjyr11 usually KuccefdH

only in giving his wife a bad time

The man who Is too eocd to go tothe pellis usually the mats who kickslouupst and loudest about the way I

are being run

TWO WOMEN

President Roosevelt basthronghhis postmaster general removedfrom the Greenwood Del postJoffice Miss Huldah B Todd onthe specious plea that she is obnoxious to the mouthpiece of

Gas Addicks Senator AlleeMiss Todd had served five years aspostmistress at Greenwood andhad given the fullest satisfactionto the patrons of the office Shewas in no sense obnoxious to themShe was first appointed to a fur-y ar term by President McKinleyand after serving that was reappointed by President RooseveltShe had served one year under herreappointment when her officialhead was chopped off tc meet thepolitical demands of addioks and

crowdMinnie

Cox tendered her resig-

nation as postmistress at Indianola Miss but her resignation huenot beau accepted For about

year now she has been carriedupon the salary roll of the government on the presidents ordersthough she has rendered not onecents worfeh of service She waspersonally obnoxious in her officialcapacity to the vast majority ofthe patrons of the office who hadthe temerity to say so in resolu-
