To Hang Ociobernth.
Clyde Mattox was taken into the
IT. S. court at Wichita, Kansas,
last Wednesday and sentenced to
be hanged in tlie city of Wichita
on the llth day of October, 1S!>5.
The crime for which he was sen-
tenced was the killing of John
Mullin a negro at Oklahoma City,
Dec. 12, 1SSD. The supreme court
of the United States recently
affirmed the judgment of the lower
comt, but three of ttie judges fa-
vored a new trial for him. Justice
Gray, White and Shiras favored a
new trial.
Clyde stoutly atlirmed his inno-
cence when the sentence was pro-
nounced. He raised his hand to-
ward heaven and said: "I am in-
nocent of the charge of which I
been convicted. It is due to my
friends who have stood so faith-
fully by me to say that I am an in-
nocent man: this is a monstrous
injustice."
The Eagle says that he looked
more like a minister pronouncing
a benediction than a murderer re-
ceiving the death sentence.

Life's Fitful Fever Over.
After many weary hoars of pain,
Harold Potter yielded up his young
life about 11 o'clock Saturday
morning. He was thrown from
his horse abont 5 o'clock Satur-
day evening, June 22d, and never
recovered consciousness until the
end came.
His loving parents watched be-
sides him constantly for a week,
the physicians did everything that
their profession conld suggest,
sympathizing friends with the
family waited and prayed at his
bedside. But all in vain—his
hurt was fatal and no skill or love
or care conld bring him back to
consciousness and to health. The
last spark of life went out without
a struggle or apparent pain, and
he seemed to fall asleep.
i He was a bright and lovable
{boy, and it seemed that life for
him would be pleasant and suc-
j cessful. He was cheerful and
, healthful, with pleasant home sur-
j roundings. His parents doted
| upon him. He was ihe "Benja-
. inin" of the family—the pet of the
household.
With all this, and a bright fu-
ture stretching out before him he
was cut off in an unexpected man.

It is only those who believe in
''the resurrection of the body and
life everlasting'' that can meet
such trials as this without mur-
muring against such a cruel des-
tiny. Budha attempted to console
the fond mother who was weeping
over her dead child by showing
her that all the human race had
borne such grief and could sympa-
thize with her.
But the great founder of our re-
ligion gladdened the hearts of the
mourners by calling the dead to
life again.
So it is now. Human sympathy
can go no farther than Budha's
teaching did. But Christianity,
while it comes weeping to the
tomb, will find the stone rolled
away, and welcome the sleeping
dust back to life again.

precinct No. 1, in the city of
Gainesville, a public court of in-
quiry or investigation into how
matters stood there now. As a
result of that investigation the
evidence clearly developed to my
mind that these same old law-
breakers had simply moved around
some, and retained in many in-
stances their same cortege of no-
toriously bad women under the
guise of domestic help (only a
subterfuge). I thereupon in strict
compliance with what I conceived
to l>e an official duty, and an ur-
gent demand of publio morals,
immediately made out complaints
against the principal offenders, j
keepers or owners of these brothels
which complaints I offered to the
sheriff and to the constable of pre-
cinct No. 1, Gainesville, as peace
officers to sign. Upon their re-
fusal, two respectable, good and
law abiding citizens came to my
assistance and signed the com
plaints, npon which I tiled infor-
mations and propose to do all in
iny power under the law and the
evidenoe to execnte the law as
found upon the statute books, and
ask the aid of all good citizens,
and again warn these parties to
desist. W. E. Kooekh,

Austin, Tex., June 28.—A
special coj respondent of a New

about the prize tight, whether the
governor would interfere and the
li;,lit be penifitted. His conclu-
sions, wired at great length, were
in substance that the laws prohi-
bit the fight, but that the gover-
nor <; !iuot take a hand to pre-
vent the contemplated infraction
of t'.ie law, as it devolves whol-
ly upon local authority. The pre-
valent opinion seems to be in the
official circles that the fight will
be pulled off anyway.

TOWN TOPICS.
By hitting in one place a long
time it is said we can break the
hardest stone. "Keeping ever-
lastingly at it," is the key to suc-
cuss. "But suppose one is pound-
ing his own thumbf' We have
pounded on some things until
they gave away. We hammered
away at an artersian well until
the city took hold of it. We
croaked and croaked for a fire
proof place to keep the county
records until the commissioner's
court provided one. We talked
for a creamtory to burn our garb-
age until the city council used the
credit of the city and built one.
We have for a long time been
trying to convince our people that
a park would be a good thing for
our city. We have hammered
long, the stone does not seem to
give way. It may be that we are
pounding our|thumb .But we want
to keep on at it a while longer. Per-
haps if we make a great din some-
body will do it jnst to get rid of
our everlasting noise. Any way
to get it.
If Gainesville continues to grow
the time will come when she will
have not only a park but several
parks. Would not it be better to
begin now while it is easier to
secure them! New additions are
being laid off and new streets
opened. But there seems to be an
idea that there will not be space
enough to go 'round, and no
ground is left for "breathing
places." It is hard eveu to get
our land owners to give enough
for streets and alleys.
Everybody would like to have a
park if some one else would do-
note it. Suppose we stop awhile
and look over the city. Let us
see if there is any plaoe in and
around it where trees would grow,
where flowers would bloom and
fountains sparkle. Let as imagine
such a plaoe, enclosed in a neat
fsnoe with jaaaatiial graveled
driveways, comfortable seats,
beautiful bowers, etc., where chil-
dren and grown up people of the
city can go for rest and recreation.
Now then let us reflect that
hundreds of other cities no larger
or richer than ours have such
places, and that nothing prevents
us from having them except a want
of enterprise and taste. Let our
aldermen disabuse their minds of
the idea that they were chosen
know. It may be because the ne-
gro is more agreeable aud obedient
or it may be tuat the class of white
laborers who offer to work are not
as etlicient as the negroes. But it
is a fact and there is no place on
earth tuat the negro is better
treated than in Gainesville.
