Discharged. v . "
Dr. R S Young returned home
Friday night from Washington
Vyfllj WUDIO VTCkO oliiULUUUOU as
a witness in the case wherein
Keesler Reid, a negro of this
place, is being: tried for his lifa
for the killing of a negro woman
on the streets there some months
ago, The plea of insanity was
put in by the colored attorneys
. . ! J.T ll ' .
but it seems mat mey were not
competent to mate tn aelense.
Alect Ried, a brotuer of the
cHarged murderer, thinking that
there wera no more hopes of
saring his brother's life, and de
siring to get away before death
sentence was pronounced, re
turned home today (Saturday).
The trial was not finished when he
left though he felt that he knew
what the verdict would .. be.
Keesler seem3 to take no interest
in the trial himself. After he
committed his death deed on the
street he walked on to his board
ing house in an unconcerned way,
which together with the fact that
he 'inherits insanity, makes it
seem that he was not sane at the
i. - -
time. I
Dr. Tracy's Lecture 'Friday NiffHt.
Dr. Tracy's lecture was largely
attended Friday night. Standing
room was lacking.
The thoushtful mind could an
ticipate the line followed by the
topic announced, but the
instauce3 used to demonstrate it
and the illustrations on the can
vas were of course new to most
of the audience, especially was
the-lecturer's way of presenting
them unique.
The fearful Stealth by which
alcoholism grows on those who
veLture unconsciously within its
realms and the awful awakening
to a relization of the' depths to
.which the physical and mental
organisms become involved were
brought to eve and mind.
Strange as it may seem that
such subjects could be handled in
any other than the very gravest
manner, the doctor, in a way
peculiarly his own and doubtless
approved by his experience, some
times convulses his audience in
jolly laughter and even takes a
chuckle himself.
The subject for tonight is, "Two
Sides ot the Temperance Ques-
, tiurl.',
Stereopticon and animated pic
tures will accompany all the lec
tures.
On Sunday night the subject cr
theme of the lecture will be,
"Obstacles in the Way of Pro
gress to the Prodigal's Return.
-The canvass scenes will present
the footsteps of the prodigal
With it will be rendered Sankey's
famous " song, "The Ninety and
Nine" and "Rock of Ages."
A special feature of Sunday
night will be an offering rendered
by those who inter the door. In
this the lecturer is strictly a sil-.
yer mono-metallist. Silver only
is indicated as an acceptable
ofierin. , 4 !

A comparatively large crowd
attended the baseball game Fri
day afternoon between the Bos
on Bloomers and oar boys. The
first three innings of the game
were good Dan, noinmg ,puc
i t n 1 1 1' i
ciphers having been scored, but
the latter halt of the game brought
victory almost at each inning.
The pitcher, Miss Lucy Hall, is an
excellent player and needed bet-
ter support. The score stood 10
r
to 1 without our boys taking their
last turn at the bat. A party ol
ladies of pur town was present
and, together with the entire au
dience, enjoyed the game. More
than the wearing of their bloom
ers there was nothing unlady
like and immodest on the part of
the Boston girls.
Only a small crowd attended
the bull fieht that night. As was
stated beforehand this part of the
show is a hunibuer.
