HIS END WAS JUST.
Killed for Insulting Man's Wife.
Cleveland, O .April 2 Because
of an alleged insult to his wife,
while he was temporarily absent
from her side tonight, William Hill,
of 620 Sterling avenue, shot and
instantly killed Ralph M. Lewis.a
painter. He also shot, and it is
believed fatally wounded, James
H. Huff, a shoe-shiner.
The shooting took place while
Hill and his wife were boarding a
street car.
According to the police report,
Huff and Lewis had made slight
ing remarks to Mrs. Hill while she
was in a restaurant. When her
husband returned, the couple went
to take a street car home. Huff
and Lewis were also going to take
the same car: when Hill, it is al
leged, pulled a pistol from his
pocket and immediately fired upon
the two men. There was a great
deal of excitement, as the car was
filled with passengers, most of
whom were women. Huff received
a bullet wound iu the head, and is
at the hospital. Hill walked to
the central police station to tell
what had happened and was placed
under arrest.

to the calaboose when he decided
he would not go in. He grabbed

him. They clinched and a scuffle
ensued Help soon arrived and
the negro was locked up This
morning three cases developed
against him and be was bound
over to court.
There were two other cases
against white men for drunk and
disorderly conduct.
Street Sweeper.
It is very apparent that the town
will lave to have a street sweeper
to take care of the Main street in
the businets blocks.and the sooner
the better We trust that the Board
of Aldermen may have an oppor
tunity to go into the question to
night. With an up-to-date streetsweep
er, the work could be done thor
oughly every night which would
give us clean streets almost free
from dust through the day.
Right here we would also call
the attention of the police force to
the ordinance against sweeping
and throwing paper and other
debris on Main street.
Mr. Holt's Condition.
The many friends of Mr. J. R

RECEPTION.
W. 0. T. Club Decided.Success.
The W. O. T. Club with its
eleven member, organized just a
month or so ago, has been the
means of affording much pleasure
to all the members and their occa
sional visitors from the beginning.
A short while ago it was decided
to hold its first general reception
April 1st In pursuance to the
arrangements about fifty guests
gathered at the home of Mrs. J. J.
Farriss, Saturday night.
The members of the club mads
elaborate arrangements for the
occasion and it was the verdict of
all that their labors were crowned
with success. The decorations
were in the colors of the club, white
and green, while the dining room
was in red, all exquisitly arranged
by the members of the club.
The entertainment following on
All Fools Day, of course aroused
suspicion among the guests, but
with all of this forewarning some
of them fell into the trap. One or
two of our young friends had quite
a lut)ch on pickles and sandwiches
dosed with quinine, before they
discovered their mistake. But this
was only an incident of the pro
gram. The refreshments proper
consisted of Brannon's cream, cake
and relishes. As the guests passed
out of the dining room the ladies
were presented with a Japanese
parasol and the gentlemen with
tninerature pipes most novel and
acceptable souvenirs.
The games were very unique in
deed and afforded much merriment
to all. One of the games, a sug
gestion from Miss Irvin Paylor,
was especially catchy and gave
much pleasure.
The reception was in every way
a delightful affair and there were
showers of compliments from the
guests for each member of the
club.

talented ministers in the State and

rest, but I am going to take one in
the open, under God's blue Heav

day standing on the platform by
his special car in the Pennslyvaniu

It was suggested to the President
that things would go along in a
smooth manner, of he were absent.
"Oh, things will be all right," he
said, "I have left Taft sitting on
the lid keeping down the San Do
mingo matter.
When the train came in the
crowd was on the station balcony
and gave the President a cheer as
the train stopped. He stood on
the rear platform, waving his hand
to the crowd and face beaming
with good nature. When the train
stopped the President stepped
from the platform with the remark
to a secret service office:
"Pass right along, now, and if
this crowd is not too big I'll shake
with all of you."
At this there was a rush to shake
hands with him. When some lit
tle girls were handed up to him he
said:
"God bless the children," and
then turning to Congressman Olm
sted he said:
"You know I believe in these
children."
To one old soldier with a button
in his coat the President said:
"How are you comrade?''
It was 1.07 and as the train mov

cheers for "Teddy" which were
given with a will and the Presi
dent laughed heartily at the famil

Judge McRae's Opinion.
The North Carolina Law Jour
nal expresses the opinion that the
Woodward anti-bucket shop act is
constitutional. Judge McRae, the
editor of the publication, is a
splendid lawyer and his opinion of
the matter is consequently received
with much interest. Winston Sen
tinel. Need Fire Bell.
There is an urgent need of a fir
bell here and to neglect it longer
win De inexcusable. The factories
generally give the alarm at night
but iaot many of them feel like do
ing so in the day time. Last week
when Alexander's store caught fire
very few firemen knew of it, be
cause there was no alarm. Most
people 'phone Chief Horney but be
cannot sound the alarm because
the mill uses electricity. We don't
see why this matter is not attend
ed to, it is by all odds the most im
portant that we know of. Two
fires in a month with no alarm
should make us wake up.
