One sentence, in italics, reciting the blessings of Trusts is as follows: “In all lines, taking together all the establishments which have reported, there has been a decided increase in the number of employees; and in all cases with the exception of traveling salesmen there has also been an in. crease in the amount of,jvages paid.” If Trusts are blessings, why should President Roosevelt and other Re publican leaders disclaim against them, Is it for the purpose of fool- ing the voters? Does it not demonstrate what the Democrats have claimed for some time, that the Republican party is the defender and promoter of Trusts. We believe that Roosevelt is an hon- est manand knowing the deadly evils to the people of the vast combina- tions of capital to control the price of comme@dities, would prevent it if he could, but he is controlled by his party leadprs and those of them who do not ow the trusts are owned by them, and Wyat can the poor mando?

Boise Found Dead im Creek. Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 3.—Frank L . Boise, a prominent real estate man of this city, left here Thursday morn- ing on a trip, expecting to be gone two or threedays. Thismorning his body was found in Muddy Creek, five miles northwest from the city, and a ‘ short distance down the stream was ___the dead body of-his-horse.- Asearching party found: Boise’s body lying across a log out of the water and badly decomposed. It is - supposed that Thursdey night he attempted to ford the stream, which g swollen almost out of ite banks er. If any relief ever comes to the people against this great commercial octapus, by legislation, it must come through the Democratic party. River Forsakes a Town. Concordia, Kan., Aug. 1.—The Re- publican river, since the flood of last Sunday, has changed its channel and left this city a mile to one side. The new channel starts about a mile and a half north and west ofthe city and joins the old one again about a mile and a half northeast, ruining several tine farms and leaving the Concordia mill and electric light plant without the water power by which they have beendargely operated. The city will be compelled to ex- tend its sewers over a mile to secure an outlet, while the county must build another expensive bridge, the costly one which formerly spanned the river being now more than a mile from water. Chicken Thieves Killed Him, Lexington, Mo., Aug. 5.—George W. Johnson, 45 years old, was killed at his home near here last night by chicken thieves.

Medal For the Little Miss Who Refused to Sing “Marching Through Georgia.” Owensboro, Ky., Aug. 1.—About 590 ex-confederate soldiers are in attendance at the reunion of the Second Kentucky brigade. The chief feature to-day was the speech of Captain W, T. Ellis of this city, in presenting a gold medal to little Laura Talbot Galt, the 13-year-old Louisville school. girl who recently refused to sing ‘‘Marching Through Georgia.” This medal was given by the Georgia Society of Montgom- ery, Ala., and was sent to Captain Ellis, with the request that he pre- sent it to Miss Galt on behalf of the Georgia society. Captain Ellis said: “It seems to have been left to this child to open a virgin page upon which a true his- tory of the south covering the period of the civil war is to be finally writ- ten. We must set down to her art- less integrity and her childish meth- ode the fact that the old south and- and those who defended its cause are no longer to be misrepresented and misunderstood. “Ex-Confederate soldiers resub- seribed to the truth of the’ doctrine announced by the Master who said “Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for ‘of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Captin Ellis then said that in be- half of the brave soldiers of Georgia, who were a fine type of the Anglo- Saxon and the cavaliersas the world has ever known, and who by their prowess and valor had helped to He kissed the medal on her bosom, charging her to wear it worthily all her life. Amid the storm of applause of sponded that this day would be held know she had so many friends when she refused to sing the song which represented Sherman’s only claim to greatness. When she uttered these words a scene ensued the like of which was never seen here before. Bedlam broke loose, the band played “My Old Ken- tucky Home,” and the confederate soldiers crowded around the girl fondly kissing her and bathing her in their tears. the Reece Graves camp of this city presented another gold medal to the little girl, who is the camp’s guest and the idol of every old soldier here.
