Win. J. Bryan and J. P. Morgan
are very close together on the Gov
ernment ownership of railroads. The
former wants the Government to own
them and the latter wants the Gov
ernment to control them, that is,
to keep off the legislation ; on rail
roads. THE THAW TRIAL.
The trial of Harry Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White has cre
ated more interest than any trial
in a generation. The whole world
scans every word that is sent over
the wires. The Atlantic cable, and
telegraph lines the world over have
been laden daily with the doings of
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her relations
with White and Thaw. The public
has been regaled with the "Room of
Mirrors," the "Dead Rat" restaurant,
of Paris, France, and all the nause
ating details of the wreck of virtue
of young Evelyn and other girls by
Standfard White, whose millions put
it in his power to form a harem of
youthful girls from the stage and
other sources. It seems that instead
of being the architect of building up
edifices he was the destroyer of fe
male virtue. He made it a business
to seek out young girls and throw
a glamour of wealth around them
and dazzle their brain with the lav-
ishness of his purse. He kept rooms
burdened with mirrors, which re
flected his evil doings, and enticed
unsuspecting young girls whose
mothers' eyes were not on them, in
his gilded palace, fed them with
midnight suppers and champagne in
order to accomplish their ruin. Once
the fatal step was taken all sem
blance of virtue was swept aside and
the young victim became imbued
with the purlieus of degradation, and
was lost to society.
There are too many opportunities
given by mothers to their daughters
to visit places of amusement, etc.,
with men whose characters are not
known to the- parents; men with
whom the young ladies become ac
quainted by being introduced by the
ladies' escorts.
The promise of marriage plea of
scoundrels who ruin the lives of wo
men which they cannot accomplish
by other means; the long buggy
rides without chaperones.
No woman should allow a man to
take the first privilege, and no other
would be taken. It is the first rebuff
that puts the quietus on the evil-designing
scoundrel. Parents cannot
be too particular in regard to the
company their daughters keep.
The Strother tragedy was a case
of "promise of marriage," the confi
dence of the pure girl being gained
and then her ruin. But while he
married his victim at the point of
a pistol, he attempted to leave his
wife, was shot and killed by the
girl's brothers, who were recently
set free by a court of law, on the
"unwritten law."
No young girl should receive a
young man's company until she at
tains the age of woman's estate. No
school girl should get in love while
receiving an education, as education
and love do not run parallel. When
love is in, education is out.
Despoiler of His Homo Was Laid
. Low. .
Goldfield, Nev., March 22. After
tracing him seven thousand miles
during the last two years, J. C. Hines
shot and killed Count Constantine
Podhsky last night. The affair was
intensely dramatic. The Count, with
a pretty female companion, was seat
ed in the dining-room of the Ajax
Restaurant, the "Rat Morte" of Gold
field. At least one hundred diners
were at the tables and the wine was
flowing freely. Without warning a
little man strode in, and walking di
rectly to the Count's table, drew a
revolver and fired five shots, every
one of which took effect. Then he
walked to the bar and waited for the
police. Hines alleges that Count
Podhsky ruined his home two years
ago.
Kidnapped Girl is Found at Last.
Lexington, Ky., March 25. Kid
napped from her home at New Lex
ington, Ohio, several months ago,
Marie McClelland, six-years-old, has
been located by her uncle at the home
of a mountaineer at Lee City. She
had been given up as dead.
"We advertised for her in all the
papers, and had given her up until
recently, when I saw a letter signed
by Dr. W. P. Wise of Lee City, Ky.,
to the mayor of Columbus, Ohio, in
one of the papers, describing a child
which he said he believed had been
stolen," said her uncle. "We inves
tigated and found her."

conciliation is all contained in the

Court is in Session It is a Two
Weeks' Term and is for the Trial
of Criminal Cases Only.
Superior Court convened Monday
morning with Judge E. B. Jones pre:
siding. It is a criminal term, and
court will be in session for two weeks
unless the docket is cleared in a short
time, which will very probably be the
case.
The following were chosen as mem
bers of the grand jury:
A. M. Powell, foreman; W. H.
Richardson, J. F. Jones, James San
der ford, R. A. Clover, R. J. Lacy, R.
H. Griffin, J. M. Herndon, J. S. King,
H. C. Page, W. N. Rausheart, L. E.
McNeill, Charlie Finch, W. A. Tay
lor, H. W. Kelly, M.' C. King, D. G.
Mangum and James Weathers.
Judge Jones did not lay special
stress upon any offense in his charge,
but it was of a general character,
and left the members of the grand
jury in no doubt as to what course
they should pursue.
Immediately after the charge to
the grand jury the docket was gone
over and purged of those cases that
for one reason or another were not
to be tried at this term. Quite a
number of cases were quickly dis
posed of Monday morning, among the
lot being those in which the defend
ants were charged with having fail
ed to list their poll tax. Judgment
was suspended in all of the cases
fourteen- upon payment of the costs
and tax. Part of the negroes were
able to pay out and others will have
to work out both costs and tax.
Frank carpenter plead guilty of
carrying a concealed weapon and
judgment was suspended upon pay
ment of the cost. Another concealed
weapon case was taken up a short
time before the noon recess on Mon
day, the defendant being a man by
the name of Hobby.
