"I consider thla tha first move tha part
of tha democrats of tha atata toorganlse
and form a closer union. For Aiy year
tha to an whoso names were egalni&ced on
the roster of tha Jaoksonlan elk by tha
resolution Saturday evening be atood
without tha (rate. They have ot ban
upplicants for admission, but Has been
tha certain knowledge of thoaa Hiln tha
club that tha organisation wj much
waakar than It would have been wh them

whera, though they wiahed to aMliemoo

which paaaed unanlmoualy, waa thau1t
of thla knowledge. It waa not the Men
tion of tha resolution to prevent Mr. ryan
going as a delegate to tha national mo.
rrotlo convention In 190i neither ca, the
nova be construed In any way aa 6 to
repudiate Mr. Bryan In any sen ire.
I beUeva the move of Saturday vng
will have a tendency toward aeeurinathe

son that It was thought possible some of
tha men whoae names were on the records

Q. H. WEST TALKS ON "WORDS"

Iingaage.
The rWloaophtcai society met at parlor
No. 1 of tho Paxton hotel Sunday after
noon with a large attendance to listen to a
very Interesting paper by Oeorga H. West,
on the subject of "Words."
Ke s&ld in effect: "
"Tha world of words waa coincident with
simple Ufa. Climatic conditions had much
to do with brogue and pronunciation. The
Ltltn Idioms of the semitroplcal climates
were essentially different from the epigram
matic language ot the colder climates,
though oonveylng essentially tha same
meaning. From the sonorous language of
the south cams aoft rhythmlo utterances
that when translated Into tha aturdy Ian'
guage cf the north became abort utterances
like unto tha rattling of musketry in It
emphatio meaning. To the Anglo-Saxon 1
attributed that most expreselve language
tha,t eonveye at ita Inception a meaning
that cannot be misconstrued and from it
.originates tba mother tongue that is des
tined to yet become tha language of the
world. Whatever may be tha origin of lan
guage It devolved upon the sturdy Saxon to
kerpetuate that language, simple and com
prehensive. Into crude type that eventually
brought the world Into close association
with tho literature and through It into
familiarisation with the civilization of the
past centuries. Tha Anglo-Saxon language,
or1 more specifically speaking, tha English
t ok rue la now spoken by nearly 900.0o0.0O0
people throughout the world. It Is the ap
plication of the best ot tha old languagea
to present needs in the English language
thai makes this possible." ,

another and the result was that ths keeper
of the house ordered the colored men off
the premises.
Near tho front door of the hotel the
Chambers brothers and E. Hosklne, a
friend of both - stopped for a moment.
The argument became heated and Joseph
struck his brother across tha face. As
quick as a flash Iks drew a knlfs from
a pocket In hla shirt and plunged it into
his brothers left breast, inflicting a
wound about three inches long and fully
three luchea deep, from which death re
