Michael Angiollo, the Italian an¬ archist who assassinated Premier Banovas del Castillo, of Spain, was tried by ceurt martial Monday at Verega, found guilty and was sen¬ tenced to death.

In the early settlement of Morgan churches were established, and ac cording to the custom of those days '•ach church laid out its cemetery. Thus it is that our grwing town to¬ day has two cities of the dead—the Baptist and Methodiat cemeteries. The Baptist cemetery is a beauti ful spot, lying just back of the church building, and has been kept in repair something better than the other. A few weeks ago tho members of this denomination, together with their firends, met and put in a day’s hard labor iu working over and beautify ing the last resting places of their departed loved ones. The work and the manner in which it was done added much to the appearance of the Baptist cemetery, and caused favor¬ able criticism from residents as well as strangers. Our citizens, of late, seem to be imbued with a spirit of thrift and town pride, and work together for the pleasure and welfare of ai! con- corned. The appearance of the Methodist oomote ry appealed to the pride of our citizens. As in tho majority of cases of charity aurl good works, the ladies took the load in this, and caused to be published in las* week’s MONITOR an appeal for help to work in the cemetery. At 7.30 o’clock last Monday morn¬ ing tho Methodist church cell rang out the hour of work, and people began to gather regardless of denom¬ ination, and began with a vim to do tho work asked of theta by the ii v- ing and the dead. The weather was very unpropi- tious for outdoor work, but by Tues¬ day night tho cemetery presented an altogether different appearance, and for tho better. Weeds and grass wero cut and removed, beautiful walks and drives graded, graves wooded off and covered with snow- white sand, and the plat of ground made to appear as if those who sloop beneath the sod ware not, forgo* ten, but still loved and honored. Tiro work was not finished as first intended owing to the inclemency of tho weather, and will be resumed and completed soon Ail honor to those who so willingly lent a hand to this noble and genets ous work.
