SHOOTS HIS WIFE’S FATHER

A Former Marshall County Boy Takes the Life of His

Father-in-Law

BLOODY DEED WAS DONE IN SELF-DEFENSE

Coroner’s Jury Absolves Him from All Guilt in the Matter.

The killing of Arthur Young by his son-in-law, Preston Lang, is of interest in this section because the Alfred Lang fuiuily resided for a number of years 4 miles west of CulveT and are well-known herea- bouts. Three or four years ago they removed to Hoopeston, 111., thence to the vicinity of Goshen aud afterward to near Bloomington. Followiug are the particii- iars:

Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 13—Arthur Young, one of the most prom- ineut and wealthy farmers of Mon* roe county, was shot through the heart and killed this afternoon by his son-in-law. Preston Lang, 21 years old. The tragedy occurred at the Lang home, -1 miles east of this city, and was tho outgrowth of ill-feeliue which startl'd on the night of Lang’s marriage to the victim's daughter.

Lang shot his father-in-law as the latter was advancing ori him with a butcher knife, tiring one shot from a shotgun. Young died almost instantly.

The marriage of Lang to Miss Young occurred only last September, on the young lady’s 18th birthday. Tbe couple had Mr. Young’s consent to the marriage, he helo- iug them to secure a license, when it had been refused by the clerk on account of the youthful appearance of the girl. The trouble between the two men arose on the night of tho marriage over the choice of the minister to performthe ceremony . , . . . ,

When intormed that a minister whom he did not approve had been secured, Young flew iuto a rage, knocking the groom senseless by a blow on the head.

He was prevented from further injuring tho young man by his daughter who threw herself across the senseless body of her sweetheart. When Lang regained consciousness, the men, both vowing to kill each other, were prevented from fighting by the wedding guests. The bride, by tears aud entreaties, succeeded in gettiug her father aud husband to shake hands and the wedding proceeded.

The youug couple went to housekeeping on a farm 2 miles from the Young homestead, which was owned by the girl’s father aud which the young man agreed to manage for him Siuco then the men have quarreled several times and Youug has made threats against both Lang and bis father.

Finally, Lang, fearing for both his life and his happiness, decided to move to Illinois, and his wife gladly agreed to go. On Tuesday Lang informed his father-in-law of his intention, only to be greetedwith: “ To ----- with you; it’s agood riddance.”

While passing the Lang home this morning with his wife iu a buggy.-Youug stopped and cursed both his daughter and her husband aud then came on this city. On his way home ho and his wife stopped again at the Lang house, and entered the dining room door. Angrily throwing aside his coat he said:

“How many bushels of corn didyou feed this morning?’ '

“ About twenty bushels, I think,” answered Lang.

“ But you didn’t feed hardly that much,” interrupted Mrs. Lang, who saw trouble brewing und hoped to prevent it.

‘•No, he didn’t!” shouted Youug. “ God hates a liar and so do I.”

Grasping a chair he swung it overhead and started after Lang. The young wife sprang between the men. and Young dropped the chair and snatched up a butcher knife, crying:

“ I ’m going to cut out his heart.” Lang retreated into tho kitchen,

secured a single barreled shotgun which was standing in the corner, and as Young burst through the door he fired, the whole charge entering the left breast of his victim and pfercing the lung.

“Mamma, I ’m dead,” gasped

Youug and sank to tho floor, expiring within a few seconds.

Leaving his victim dead on the | floor, Lang, accompanied by his wife, drove to this city and gave himself up, saying the shooting was in self defense aud that he regretted it more than auyone else.

Friends of the dead man assert that he was not in his right mind at tho timo of the tragedy, and that he has been partially insane since a bad attack of typhoid fever six months ago. Young was the father of twelve children, tho oldest of whom was tho wife of his shiver.

The coroner’s jury acquitted young Lang on tho testimony of both his wifo aud mother-iudaw.

Another Case.The “clean bill of health’’ which

Culver hoped to secure by this time aud which was fairly within grasp, has at the last hour eluded us, and a new case—the only one in town—is under quarantine. Ou Saturday night au infant child, less than a year old, of Henry Speyer broke out with a rash and by Tuesday morning Dr. Rea had no doubt of tho nature of the disease. Tho little one was the only member of the family who was not vaccinated recently, and likewise the only one to contract the contagion The child is but mildly affected andean hardly be called sick. I'p- on tbe appearance of the rash the other children were sent to stay with relatives. Mr. Speyer is searching his soul for the required amount of grace that will enable a business mau to be patient while detain'd from his business. W hone he*ll tind it.

The Bennett family are out again after their long imprisonment.

Castleman Boy Hurt.Herbert, son of Peter Castleman.

living about two miles this side of Argos, was seriously injured at the homo of Henry Freeco iu Green township.

Young Castleman was assisting Mr. Freece i*1 taking a vinegar barrel down a cellar stairway, and the barrel getting tho better of them caught him, rolling over his body und crushing him iu a horri bio manner. His left arm was fractured in two places above the elbow, his face was cut and bruised almost beyond recognition, and his front teeth were all loosened. He will recover.— Argos Reflector.

A Just Verdict.Tho caso of Mrs. Isabelle Lough

vs. the Jacob Railsback estate in which she sued for §5,000 for caring for and keeping tho old man for several years before he died resulted in the jury giving a verdict of $2,632. The outcome was generally satisfactory to all concerned, the local relatives of Railsback con- ceding that Mrs. Lough was enti tied to liberal compensation for what she had done. Railsback. it will be remembered, left about $10.-000 in bills, which ho kept iu an old valise, and a valuable farm.— Rochester Sentinel.

son of North township for the murder of Engene Kamp was begun on Tuesday. Ou the jury are W ilber G. Brown and George Peeples of Union township.

DOINGS AT ACADEMYHappenings of Interest and Personal Paragraphs

Gathered at the School the Past Week.

This week is the gayest of tbe term at the academy, bringing, as it does, tho varied exercises of Washington's birthday and the usual host of mid-winter visitors. On Friday afternoon a great and notable circus, somewhat after the plan of the one given a year ago, will occupy tho attention of the cadets and visitors. Those who witnessed the thrillers of last February need not fear any sameness, however, as Captains Noble and Rossow. in charge of tho preparations, assure us that enough new features will be forthcoming to produce an entirely new show. On Friday night the ball will be given in the gymnasium and the answers to invitations indicate that there will be no dearth of dancers. For Saturday afternoon a track meet aud basketball game is scheduled with the University High School of Chicago.

• *> • •Inter company rivalry ran high

at the track meet held Saturday in the gymnasium. Plenty of entries and close competitions kept all the rooters busy in supporting their respective champions. When the score was finally added it w h s

found that D Co had won with 41 points to its credit, C, B and A companies following in the order named with scores of 28, 2’Sh and 19$ respectively. In the 22u yard dash Young W. of D Co. rau the distance in 25 1 5 sec. which is the indoor record for tho academy. Young also made a new record for the quarter-mile, running this iu 57 2 5 seconds. The local record for the indoor mile was also broken by Stophlet. of C Co. who finished in 4 min. 58 sec. The material developed in this meet should make a good showing against the fast men from University High on next Saturday.

• • • •The first basketball game away

from home resulted iu a defeat Saturday by the team of Winona academy. Up to the last few minutes of play the Culver boys had a lead in the score, but some lucky baskets by the Winona players carried them ahead and the game ended with a score of 30 to 29 in Winona's favor.

WHAT HAPPENED.

That Special Call for the Post and Corps Meant Something.

Tho surprise awaiting the W. R. C. as announced in the Citizen of last week was complete in every respect. I think no American citi- zeus have as much feeliug for the red. white aud blue flag as the old soldier boys and it was a proud group of G. A. R. men who marched into the midst of the W. R. C. on last Saturday afternoon and presented the corps with four beautiful silk flags und flagstauds which were sadly needed by tho W. R. C. After tho corps president had thanked the boys in blue they marched out and returned with a sumptuous lunch consisting of hot coffee, sandwiches, pickles and cake, all prepared by the post for a second surprise to the corps. War songs were suug aud a general good timo was spent in an hour of social enjoyment.

THE SICK LIST.

Grippe and Other Seasonable Complaints Affect Many.

Tho grippe— that most ornery and sneaking of ailments —has descended upon the community, and more people are sick now than ut any time within a year. Like tho ague, the grippe is n disease which somehow arouses precious little sympathy for tho victim, and yet it is ono of the most tedious, exas- perating. depressing and withal painful maladies to which flesh is heir. “ Sick all over and all through” is aboutr the way to de- scribe it; and, worse than this, it frequently leaves the patient with some impaired organ which shortens life.

John Saine camo to the store on Monday for the first time in over three weeks, and his wife is still sick.

Influeuza is having a run (no pun I at the academy among the members of the faculty and their families. None of the instructors are very sick, but tho labor of teaching their classes is materially increased when they havo a lusty case of grippe *‘ou the side.”

Albert Stahl is seriously ill with typhoid fever.’ Mrs Urias Menser is more seri

ously sick than she has been at any time during the period of her illness.

Arthur Castleman is down with pueumouiu.

A Wild-Eyed Legislator.Representative Volz of Marion

county has introduced a bill requiring the publishers of newspapers and magazines to inquire into the character of goods they advertise before exploiting them before the public. The bill provides a penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine of not less than $500 for publishing, circulating or transporting any fraudulent, false or misleading advortismcnt. Every reputable newspaper is careful of tho sort of advertising it carries, but it seems that this legislation is too drastic. Under this law a good many newspaper editors would bo sent to jail for saying tho usual couimendato- ry things about candidates for the I legislature in campaign years And if candidates for tho legislature could be sent to jail for circulating misleading campaigu promises there might be a few vacant seats in the geueral assembly.— Marion Daily Chrouicle.

RESUME OF THAW TRIAL.Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took thc* wit-

nous stand In defense of her husband and told the story of her relation* with Stanford White, the famous architect who was killed by Harry Thaw. It was the same story she told Harry Thaw in Paris in 1903. when he had asked her to become his wife— the confession of one who felt there was an insurmountable barrier to her ever becoming the bride of the man she loved.

Stanford White, not satisfied with the wrongs he had heaped upon Evelyn Nesbit when she was a girl of 16. tried to win her away from Harry Thaw after her return from Europe, and even pursued her after her marriage. according to the testimony of the young wife of Harry K. Thaw at his trial. She also related an alleged plot of White and Attorney Hummel to blacken the character of Thaw.

Thaw did not know that the act was wrong when he shot and killed Stanford White. Mr. Jerome blocked the continuation of Mrs. Thaw's story, but the “Cafe Martin note*' was introduced in evidence.

District Attorney Jerome accused Thaw’s counsel, Mr. Delmas, of trying to mislead the jury by false statements and Mr. Delmas entered in tho record a protest against Mr. Jerome's "misconduct.” Dr. B. D. Evans, allon 1st, testified that he believed Thaw was suffering from “brain storm” when he killed White.

ALLEY FORGE!Perhaps no spot In

all America has a significance to Americans such as attaches to that little vale in the hills of Chester c o u n ty . Pen n s y 1 v a n 1 a. Plymouth Rock has Its halo of history, but without Valley Forge the landing of tho Pilgrims would have been a for gotten Incident. It was at Valley Forge that the young nation was tried

in bitterness and defeat, only to come out of It steeled for the work that In that long, dreadful winter waa ripening for it.

Through it all Washington, as com- mander-in-chief. as soldier, and as an individual sufferer with his men. wa* the colossal figure that emphasizes this supreme test of patriotism.

Defeat at Germantown on Oct. 3. 1777. had sent Washington In retreat. Fort Mifflin aud Fort Mercer in quick succession had been abundonod by the continental army. At Whitemarsh Wash in pt on had made a stand so unexpected and determined as to cause thc British general, Howe, to ret uni to his comfortable winter quarters In Philadelphia. There, on Dec. 11. Gen. Washington, with his suffering army of 17,000 men. took up the weary march to Valley Forge, a sleepy d« pression in thc hills, 22 miles from Philadelphia. On one side was the Schuylkill river and on tho north was Valley creek.

Snow lay deep on thc ground when, on Dec. 19. tho patriot army reached thc site of the winter camp. Touts were stretched for n« many an could be housed, hundreds slept In the snow, already reddened by their blooding bare foot. At onco Gen. Washington directed that work begin on log huts, previously designed. To do this, men were divided into squads of 12, furnished with rude tools, and directed to build huts large enough to house each squad. According to specifications these huts were 14 by 16 feet, with sides, ends and roofs made of logs. The roofs were made watertight with bark, split slabs, or other material. The cracks In the sides were filled with clay. In the rear of each hut was a fireplace mado of wood, protected by clay. The door was in the end next to the camp street and was made of oak slabs.

In tho rear of each line of huts for troops were the huts for officers. Each general officer got a hut to himself; each field officer of a regiment got one; the staff o f each brigade shared another; the staff o f each regiment was assigned one; commissioned officers for two regiments had one. while for the non-commissioned officers and men of thc army 12 persons were allot ed to each huL

The winter of 1777-78 was remarkable for its severity and Its deep snows, and when work was begun at making camp, nearly 3.000 men were unfit for duty. British sympathizers populated the surrounding country and food and bedding were hard to get, even when the soldiers had the depreciated currency of tho country to offer in exchange. As an Incentive to hut-building, Gen. Washington offered a purse of $100 to the officer or man who would suggest the host substitute for boards as a roofing material, having especial reference to cheapness and celerity in building. Then, to tho squad In each regiment which built Its hut quickest and In tho best manner he gave a purse of $12. So encouraged, the tattered, emaciated army was housed lato in January.

Twenty-two miles away was Howe's army of 19.500 men In Philadelphia paying British gold and silver for supplies. Washington's starveling army had only the continental currency worth $25 to the $100 of face value. Even with the spirit o f Toryism absent the army at Valley Forge would have been handicapped. As It was they found farmers defending their cattle, grain and straw at thc musket's muzzle.

With reference to these uncomfortable quarters for the men. It may be said that Washington shared them with his men until all had been housed in huts. Then only did ho take up headquarters with the old Quaker preacher near the mouth of Valley creek. Around his headquarters were stationed the members of his life guard.

Albigence Waldo's Diary.Somewhere In this chilled, starved,

half-naked camp was a genius who

may have added mirth to It* cheerio** gloom. His name was Alhlgoneo Waldo, a surgeon, and in addition to hi* official duties he kept a diary, which, after a hundred years. Is strangely Interesting. This diary came to light in 1861 ln the old Pennsylvania Magazine, and read through from the first entry on Nov. 19 It Indicates. as nothing els« could, the wearing effect of the time* and clr* cumstances. On Dec. 11 the hardships of Valley Forge have begun to tell on this surgeon to the continental army. He writes:

“ 1 am prodigious sick and cannot get anything comfortable. What in the name of providence can I do with a fit of sickness in this place, whero nothing appears pleasant to the sickened eye and nauseating stomach? But I doubt not provldcuco will find a way for my relief, only I cannot eat beef if 1 starve; for my stomach positively refuses such company, and how can 1 help that?**

Next day he is worse, and In a worse mood he scribbles:

"Doc. 12.—Sunset. We are ordered to march over the river. It *nowa— I'm sick—eat nothing—no whisky—no baggage— Lord—Lord— Lord! ”

Twelve days later he begins with a tribute to the endurance and patience of the soldiery, followed with loud pretestings for himself and his condition, and winds up hi* memo randa by taking It all back:

“ Dec. 24.— Prisoners und deserters are continually coming In. The army, who have been surprisingly healthy hitherto, have now begun to grow sickly from the continued fatigues they have suffered In this campaign Yet they still show spirit and alacrity and contentment not to ho expected from so young troops. Why are wo sent here to starve and freeze? VVImt sweet facilities havo I left ot home— a charming wife, pretty children, good beds, good food, good cooking -all agreeable— all harmonious. Here all confusion—cold, smoke, hunger, and filthiness. Here come* a bowl of soup —full of burnt leaves and dirt. Away with It. boys— I'll live like a chameleon upon air!

“ *Poh. poh.’ cries Patience wilhin me; ‘you talk like a fool! Your being sick covers your mind with a melancholic gloom, which makes everything about you appear gloomy. See the poor soldier when In health—with what cheerfulness he meets his foes and encounters every hardship. If barefoot, he labors through the mud and cold with a song in his mouth, extolling war nnd Washington

“ But hearken. Patience, a moment. There comes a soldier. His bare foot are seen through hi* worn-out shoe*: his legs nearly naked from the tattered remains of an only pair of stockings—his shirt hanging In strings— his hair disheveled—his face meager —his whole appearance picturing a person forsaken and discouraged. Ho comes and cries with an air of wretchedness: *1 am sick—my feet lame— my legs are sore—my clothes worn out— my constitution broken—I fall fast—I shall soon be no more! And all tho reward I shall get will be: Poor Will is no more.’ ”

Humor in Some Entrie*.Thut Surgeon Wnldo wns a humorist

In no mean degree Is shown by an extract following one in which ho gives a dissertation on “ flre-cake” as an article of steady diet. l ie writes:

"Dec. 22,— Lay excessive cold and uncomfortable last night. My eyes are started out from thnlr orbits liko a rabbit's eyes, occasioned by a great cold—and smoko!

“ 'What havo you for breakfast, lads?*

•* ’Flre-cake and water, sir.*“ The Lord send that our commis

sary of purchases may live on flre- cake and water till their glutted stomachs arc turned to pasteboard!**

To this comprehensive picture of life at Valley Forge is that memorable winter. Surgeon Waldo added as one of his last memoranda a little tributo of his own to the general who had come with them so far aflcld.

“ So much talk about the officers.** he writes, “and *o many discharged,that his Ex----- y lately expressedfears of being left alone with the soldiers only. Strange that our country will not exert themselves for his support and save so good—so great—a man from entertaining the leait anxious doubt of their virtue and perseverance in sup|»ortlng a cause of such uri|iarallclcd importance."

But wben May came the army wa* eager to meet the British ln their retreat from Philadelphia.

CHAPTER VII.— Continued.The other who had not laughed was

Brigham himself. For to thin great man had been given the gift to look upon men and to know in one alow sweep of bis wonderful eyes all their strength and all their weakness, lie had listened with close attention to the remarkable plan suggested by this fiery young zealot, and he studied him now with a gaze that was kind. A no tlceable result of this attitude of Brigham’s was that those who had lftughed became more or less awkward ly silent, while tho Entablature of Truth, in the midst of his pantomime, fr-jze into amazement.

“ W ’d better consider that a little." said Brigham, finally. ‘"You can talk i t over with me to-night. But first you go get your stuff unloaded and get kind o f settled. There’s a cabin Just beyond my two up the street here that you can move into." Ho put his large hand kindly on the other's shoulder. “ Now run and get fixed nnd come to my house for supper along about dark."

Somewhat cooled by the laughter of tlxe others, but flattered by this consideration from the Prophet, the young roan had gone thoughtfully out to his wagons and driven on to the cabin indicated.

Brigham talked to him late that night, advancing many cogent reasons why it should be unwise to make war at once upon the nation of Gentiles to the east. Of these reasons the one that had greatest weight with his listener was the assurance that such a course would not at present he pleasing in the sight o f God. To others, touching upon tho matter of superior forces they might have to contend with, he was loftily inattentive.

From matters of civil government tho talk ranged to affairs domestic.

“ Tell me,” said tho young man. "the truth of this new order of celestial marriage." And Brigham had become animated at said, "when the family

“ ■'ies." he was revealed from i leaven, and Joseph began on the right and the left to add to his family, oh. dear what a quaking there was in Israel But there it was, plain enough. Whon you have received your endowments keys, blessings, all the tokens, signs and every preparatory ordinance thnt can be given to a man for his entranco through the celestial gate, then you caij see it.”

i fe gazed a moment into the fire of hickory logs before which they sat and then went on. more confidentially:

“ Now you take that promise to Abraham—"Life up your eyes and behold the stars. So shall thy seed be as numberless as the stars. Go to tho seashore and look at the sand, and behold the smallness o f the particles thereof*—I am giving you tho gist of the Lord s words, you understand— ‘and then realize that your seed shall be as numberless an those sands.’ Now thluk for a minute how many particles there are. say in a cubit foot, of sand— about one thousand million particles, Think of that! In eight thousand years, i f tho inhabitants of earth increased one trillion a century, throe cubic yards of sand would still contain more particles than there would be people on the whole globe. Yet there you got the promise of the Lord In black and white. Now how was Abraham to manage to get a foundation laid for this mighty kingdom? Was he to get It through one w ife* Don't you see how ridiculous that is? Sarah saw it. and Sarah knew that unless seed was raised to Abraham ho would come short o f his glory. So what did Sarah do? 8he gave Abraham a certain woman whose name was Hagar, and by por a seed was to be raised up unto him. And was that all? No. W e read of his w ife Keturah. and also of a plurality of wives which he had in the sight and favor of God. and from whom he raised up many sons. There, then, was a foundation laid for the fulfillment o f that grand promise concerning his seed.”

He peered again into tho fire, and added, by way of clenching his argument: “ I guess it would have been rather slow-going, If the Lord had confined Abraham to one wife, llko some o f these narrow, contracted nations of modern Christianity. You see, they oon't know that a man’s posterity In this world is to constitute his glory and kingdom and dominion In the world to come, and they don’t know, either, that there are thousands of choice spirits in the spirit world waiting to tabernacle in the flesh. Of course, there are lots o f these things that you ain’t ready to hear yet. but now you know that polygamy is necessary for our exaltation to the full- aess of the Lord s glory in tho eternal world, and after you study It you’ll like the doctrine. I do; I can swallow it without greasing my mouth!”

He prayed that night to be made "holy as Thy servant Brigham Is holy; to hear Thy voice as ho hears it; to be made as wise as he, as true as he, even as another Lion of tho Lord, so that I may be a rod and staff and comforter to theso buffeted children of Thine.”

His prayer also touchod on ono of

COffPAMr

tho matters o f their talk. "But, 0 Lord, teach me to be content without thrones and dominion in Thy Kingdom if to gain these I must havo many wives. Teach me to abase myself, to bo a servant, a lowly sweeper in the temple of the Most High, for I would rather be lowly with her I love than oxalted to any place whatsoever with many. Keep in my sinful heart the face of her who has left me to dwell among the Gentiles, whose hair Is melted gold, whose eyes are azure deep as the sky, and whose arms once opened warm for me. Guard her especially, O Lord, while she must company with Gentiles, for she is not wonted to their wiles; and in Thine own good time bring her head un harmed to its home on Thy servant’s breast.”

"You have built me up.” he confided to Brigham, one day. " I feel to rejoice in my strength." And Brigham was highly pleased.

"That’s good. Brother Joel. The host of Israel will soon be on the move, and I shouldn’t wonder if tho Lord had a great work for you. I can see places where you’ll be just the tool he needs. 1 mistrust wo sha'n't have everything peaceful even now. The priest in the pulpit is thorning the politician against us, gouging him from underneath—he’d never dare do It openly, for our Elders could crimson his face with shame— and the minions of the mob may be after us again. If they do. I can see where you will be a tower of strength in your own way.”

••Let all the people," It began, "ortho Church of Jean* Christ of Latter- day Saints, be organized into companies with n covenant and a promise to keep all tho statute* of tho Lord our God.

"Let the companies be organized with captains of hundreds and captains of fifties nnd captains of tens, with a President und Counsellor at their head under the direction of the Twelve Apostles.

"Lot each company provide itself with all tho teams, wagons, provisions, and all other necessaries lor the journey.

"L et every man use all his influence and property to remove tbis people to the place where the Ix>rd shall locate a stako of Zion, and let them share equally In taking the poor, the widows, and tho futherless, so that their cries come not up into the ears of the lx»rd against Ills people.

“And if ye do this with a pure heart, with all faithfulness, ye shall be blessed in your flocks and in your herds and in your fields and in your families. For I am the Lord your God, even the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham. Isaac, and of Jacob. I ain Ho who led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and my arm is stretched out In these last days to savo my people of Israel.

"Fear not thluo enemies, for they are in my hands, and I will do my pleasure with them.

"My people must be tried in all things, that they may be worthy to receive the glory that I have in store for them, even the glory of Zion: and he that will not receive chastisement is not worthy of my Kingdom. So no more at present Amen and Amen!”

This was what he had longed for each winter night when he had seen the sun go down,— the word of the Lord to follow that sun on over the rim into the pathless wilderness, in fested by savago tribes and ravenous beasts, abounding In terrors unknown.

Early In April the life began to stir more briskly in the great camp that sprawled along either side of the swollen, muddy river. From dawn to dark each day the hills echoed with the noise of many works, the streets

From midday until the April dipped below tho sharp skyllno of tbs Omaha hills, tho modest rovol on- dared.

THROUGH THE STATE

‘Keep in My Sinful Heart the Fsce of Her Who Has Left to Dwell Amongthe Gentiles.”

"It ’s all o f my life, Brother Brigham.”

“ I believe IL I guess the timo has come to make you an Elder."

And so on a late winter afternoon in the quiet of the Council-House. Joel Rae was ordained an Elder after tho order of Melchisedek; with power to preach and administer in all the ordinances of the church, to lay on hands, to confirm all baptized persons, to anoint the afflicted with oil. and to seal upon them the blessings of health.

In his hard, narrow bed that night, whoro the cold came through the un- chinked logs and the wind brought him the wailing of the wolves, he prayed that he might not be too much elated by this extraordinary distinction.

CHAPTER VIII.

A Revelation from the Lord.From his little one-roomed cabin,

dark, smoky, littered with hay. old blankets, and skins, he heard excited voices outside, one early morning In January. He opened the door and found a group o f men discussing a miracle that had been wrought overnight. The Ixird had spoken to Brigham and word had come to Zion to move toward the west.

He hurried over to Brigham’s house nnd by that good man was shown the word of the Lord as it had been written down from his lips. With emotions o f reverential awe he read the inspired document.. "The Word and W ill o f the Lord Concerning the Cnmp of Israel In its Journoyings lo the West.” Such was its title.

were alive with men and women going and coming on endless errands, and with excited children playing at games Inspired by the occasion. Wagons wcro mended and loaded with provisions and tools, oxen shod, ox bows renewed, guns put in order, bullets moulded, and the thousand details i>crfeeted o f a migration so hazardous. They were busy, noisy, excited, happy days.

A t last, in the middle of April, the signs were seen to be right Grass grew and water ran. and their part, allotted by tho Lord,, was to brave the dangers of that forbidding land that lay under tho western sun. Then came a day ol' farewells and merrymaking. In tho afternoon, the day boing mild and sunny, there was a dance In tho bowery,—a great arbor mado of poles and brush and wattling. Here, where tho ground had boen trodden firm, the age and maturity as well as the youth and beauty o f Israel gathered In such poor festal array as they had been able to save from their ravaged stores.

The Twelve ApoBtles led ofT in a double cotillion, lo the moving strains o f a violin and horn, the lively jingle o f a string o f sleigh-bells, and the genial snoring of a tambourine. Then came dextrous displays in the dances o f our forbears, who followed the fiddle to tho Fox-chaso Inn or Garden of Gray’s Ferry. There were French Fours, Copenhagen Jigs, Virginia reels, — spirited figures blithely stepped. And the grave-faced, square- jawed Elders seemed as eager as tho unthinking youths and maidens to throw off for tk.9 moment the burden of their cures.

CHAPTER IX.

tnto the Wilderness.On to the West at last to nulld

the house of God in the mountains. On to what Dnniel Webster had lately styled "A region o f savages aud wild beasts, of deserts, o f shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus aud prairie dogs."

The little band of pioneers chosen to break a way for the main b<Kly of the Saints consisted o f 143 men, three women, aud two children They were to travel in 73 wagons, Jrawn by horses and oxen. They knew not where they were to stop, but they were men of eager initiative, fearless and determined; und their consolation was that, while t.holr exodus into the desert meant hardship and grievous suffering, It also promised them freedom from Gentile Interference, it was not a fat laud Into which they were venturing; but at least it was a land without a past, lying clean as it came from the hand of its maker, where they could bo free to worship God without fearing the narrow judgment of the frivolous. Instructed In the sacred mysteries revealed to j Joseph Smith through the tuagic light i o f the Urim and Thummlm, and sus- I tained by the divine message on- I graved on the golden plates he had j dug up from the hill o f Cumorah, they , were now ready to feel their way across the continent und blaze a trail to the new Jerusalem.

They went in military style with due precuntlons against surprise by the Lamanltes—the wretched red remnant of Abraham's seed—that swarnfcd on every side.

Brigham Young was lieutenant, general; Stephen Markham wus colonel; tho redoubtable John Puck wus first major, and Shadrach Roundy, second. There were two captains of hundreds and fourteen captains o f tens. Tbe orders of the lieutenant general ro- quired each man to walk constantly beside his wagon, leaving It only by his officer’s commands. To make tho force compact, the wagons were to move two abreast where they could. Every man was to keep his weapons loaded. If the gun was a caplock. tho cap was to be taken off and a pleco o f leather put on to exclude moisture and dirt; If a flintlock, the filling was to be taken out and the pan filled with tow or cotton.

Their march was not only cautious but orderly. At five a. m. the bugle sounded for rising, two hours being allowed for prayers and breakfast. A t night each man had to retire to his wagon for prayer at eight-thirty, and to rest nt nine. If they camped by a river they drew the wagons Into a semiclrclo with tho river nt its base. Other times the wagons made a circle, a fore-wheel of one touching a rear wheel of the next, thus providing a corral for tho stock. In such manner was the wisdom of the Lord concerning this hegira supplemented in detail by the worldly forethought o f his servant Brigham.

They started along the north bank o f the Platte river under the auspicious shine of an April sun. A better route was along tho south bank where grass was moro plentiful and the Indians less troublesome. But along the south bank parties of migrating Gentiles might also Ik- met. and these sons of perdition were to be avoided at any cost—"at least for the present,” said Brigham, in tones of sago significance.

And so for 200 miles they broke a new way over the plains, to be known years after as "the old Mormon trail,” to be broadened later by tho gold* seekers o f forty-nine, and still lutor to bo shod with steel, when the miracle of a railway was worked in the desert.

Joel Rae, walking beside his wagon, meditated chiefly upon the mannor in which his Witness would first manifest itself. Tho wonder came, in a way, while he thus meditated. Late one afternoon the scouts thrown in advance came hurrying back to report a large band o f Indians strung out in battle array a few miles ahead. The wagons were at once formed five abreast, their one cannon was wheeled to the front, and the company advanced in close formation. Perceiving these aggressive maneuvers, the Indians seemed to change tbeir plan and. instead of coming on to attack, were seen to bo setting lire to the prairie.

The result might well have been disastrous, as tho wind was Mowing toward tho train. Joel Rae f*uw it; saw that the timo hud come for a miracle if the little company of Saints was to be saved a serious robuff. Ho quickly entered his wagon nnd begun to pray. He prayed that the Lord might avert this calamity and permit the handful o f faithful ones to pro- ceed in peace to fashion His temple on earth.

When he began to pray there had been outside a woeful confusion of sounds.— scared and plunging horses, bellowing oxen, excited men shouting to the stock and to one another, the barking o f dogs and the rattling of the wagons. Through this din he prayed, scarcely hearing his own voice, yet feeling within himself tho faith that he knew must prevail. And then as he prayed be became conscious that these noises had subsided to a wonderful silence. A moment this lasted, and then he heard i| broken by a mighty shout of gladnoss, followed by excited calls from one man to another.

Police Unable to Discover Slayer of Telephone Girl— Grand Jury Sifts

Evidence, But No Indictments Are Voted.

DOG W m NTS HORixi o a g K .

Evansville.—Who administered poison to Agnes Saulman, the pretty 18- year-old telephone operator, who died mysteriously on Sunday, January 19? This is the question that has confronted Coroner Edward Laval and the police officials of Evansville many days. The case is still shrouded in us much mystery as when the death of the girl occurred two weeks ago. That the Kill was poisoned there Is no doubt In the minds of the officers who are working in the case.

Agnes Saulmaa was a pretty and attractive girl and had many admirers. She came here from Memphis. Tenn., several months ago and soon obtained employment in the plant of a buggy company as a telephone operator.

A short time before her death one of her employers told her that he intended to promote her to a better jx»- sition. A purse has been made up among the employes of the factory to assist the state in bringing her murderer to justice.

The police admit that the case has more mysterious features than any case they ever confronted. It is known that Agnes had numerous admirers and among them were married men. One of the married men who kept company with her and his wife havo figured prominently in the caso front the time of the girl’s death. They have been several times before the grand jury.

The death of the girl occurred at a local hospital on Saturday, Januery 19. She had been 111 for several days before her death. When she died It was announced that her death was due to an overdose of corrosive sublimate that had been given her by mistake. The coroner was not satisfied with this solution and at once started an examination. The coroner’s verdict staled that Agne3 came to her death through mercurial poison, but how and by whom administered he was unable to determine.

The coroner, with the aid of the police, has learned that on Sunday. January 13, the girl was sick in her room. In the room with her that afternoon were her sister, brother-in-law and his wife. While they sat there talking to the girl a certain married woman en tered the room and after whispering a few words to Agnes handed her a lot ter. Agnes read the letter and destroyed it, but before she died she told her sister that the woman said In the letter that she had “ about put out her light."

The theory of the police Is that some strange person also on that same afternoon placed capsules containing l>oison by the side of some quinine capsules that the girl had been taking for neuralgia.

That same afternoon late, when everybody had left her room tho girl became half delirious, and leaving her room ran across tbe street to the home of Mrs. Rolfer and fell on the doorstep in a faint.

When she was carried on the Inside she was revived and said to Mrs. Rolfer: "She has killed me. She gave me poison. She has at last made her threat good. She has put out my light.”

The girl was removed to the hospital, where she lingered several days and died. She told her sister many things concerning the letter left In her room, and the sister will be an important witness in the case.

One of her sweethearts, a young man, was also with her a great deal during her Illness, and his testimony will be important before the grand Jury.

It is known to the police that for three months before Agnes' death she had a fear that someone would poison her. It is said that she has received numerous letters from a married woman. in which the latter said she “ would put out her light." The envelope in which the letter was left in Agnes' room on the afternoon of Sunday. January 13, was from tho 8 t. Nicholas hotel in St. Louis. A sample o f the handwriting of the married woman who has been figuring In the case was compared to the handwriting on the envelope and an expert said the work was that of one person.

This woman has told several stories to the grand jury. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney O. K. Luhrlg, who has charge o f the grand jury work, does not think the woman poisoned Agnes, but she is being watched awaiting further developments.

Friendship of Animals Appeals to Former Owner of Equine.

Columbus.- Because “ Muggs.” an English couch dog, owned by J. N. I). Reeves, objects so persistently to the sale of a horse by his master. the former owner is endeavoring to repurchase the horse, that it and the dog. which have been inseparable companions for several years, may spend the remainder of their lives as chums. The horse was sold to Brock Smith, of East Columbus, and when the new purchaser attempted to lead the animal from the Reeves barnyard the dog held the halter rein with his teeth, nor would he release it until forced to do so by his master. By his pathetic, mute appeals he evinced his desiro to have his equine friend stay. Recently tho purchaser of the horso drove him back here and hitched him to a rack while lie entered a store. "Muggs" appeared at the animal's side, and grabbing the halter rein between his teeth, chewed it in two, thus releasing his erstwhile companion.

That there will be a suit on the part of the state to recover the money is certain, and it is asserted that the mutter will be taken before the grand Jury for further investigation.

Wire Netting Holds Fish.Hazleton.—Thomas Gognat. a farm

er living near here, left a chicken lot of an acre fenced in with wire netting—"chicken wire,” as it Is called — when White river began rising over a month ago.

The river suddenly fell four feet, exposing the top of the chicken lot fence, with a number of fish, mostly buffalo and perch, floundering inside the netting. The erstwhile chicken lot proved to be a veritable fish aqarium. Fully a boat load was captured. The holes in the "chicken wire” are one and one-half inches in diameter, and the smaller fish had no difficulty in escaping. Those remaining weighed from two pounds upward. Mr. Gognat reports that his fi3h harvest from his "fowl pen” will more than compensate hint for the loss of his chickens.

Kankakee is reveling in the convulsions of a sensation beyond its most excited fancy. Thrills of horrified ecstasy race up and down the spines of the saints as they listen to the preaching of “ Billy Sunday, the baseball evuugelist, while sinners sitting iu tho seats of tbe scornful tremble nnd melt under the fierce denunciations and vivid descriptions of the expounder as he stri)>s sin of its alluring raiment and lays bare the rotten bones of its seductive forms.

In a great tabernacle, covering two lots, 4.000 persons sit night after night and have their emotions stirred by a spectacular performance in which the splendid singing of a choir of 150 voices and the caustic exhortations and physical contortions of a man who is not only a fiery speaker but u tireless gymnast are the drawing features. Hundreds are turned away from the doors, nnablo to gain admission. Special trains are run, and the people from 50 miles arouud Hock to the meetings with the some overmastering bunion of curiosity that draws the multitude to Barnuuis circus.

men-whose lives will be thoroughly reformed, and old Kankakee, which has been noted as au unresponsive field to ail the etforts of evangelists and local preachers for twenty-five years, is getting a thorough shaking up to tho end that tho churches will becomo live agencies for good instead of mutual admiration societies of self-com- placent people, and probably into the civic life of tho town thero will enter a sense of responsibility and a demand for u higher standard ofdtiseoship.

Perhaps l *10 drastic doses which SniiUny lias been administering aro just what tho inert religious stomach of Kankakee needed. Perhaps, too. Billy Sunday’s methods give us cleuror insight iuto the meaning of tho vague expression, “ the foolishness of preaching.”

A t all events, with all true reform—no matter how sccured so long as the process proves effective— the Citizen is in sympathy and extends its good will uud best wishes to all tho Billy Suudays aud all the Kankakees iu the world whenever it is manifest that good is the outcome of their mutual labors. ________________

Mr. Anglin udvised the issuance of $50 stock and a charge of 50 cents a month to such stockholders and that all other users of telephonies be charged a rental of $1 a month for residence and $1.50 for busiuess phones. “ Patrons off our lines buy and set their own poles and pay -SI a mouth; their phones must be in a year.”

Mr. Hartman of Argos told of the Whitley County Mutual which has been in operation for three years aud has 1100 phones with orders for 300 moro.

CLOSED UP.

Culver's Two Booze Joints Quit Business and Leave Town.

Immediately upou receipt of the newt that the governor had signed tbe “ blind tiger" bill and that tho law took instant effect the club nnd Wolford’s restnuraut closed their doors, and within u day or two shipped out their stocks. Culver is consequently really and truly dry, as it should be under tho oj>er- ation of %he remonstrance which closed the two open saloons here last April.

Tho new state law is tbo most stringent evor adopted in Indiana. No person can sell beer, wine or liqnor without a county license. Even tho presence of tho forbidden liquids in any place, except residences and drug stores, is prima facie evidence that they are being illegally sold, and the person in charge is liable. Where uo person is found in chargo tho officers shall destroy tho liquors. Druggists may not sell in quantities of less than live gallons except on a physician’s prescription.

The penalty is sevore, and this feature of tho law is what scaros out the illegal dealer. A conviction is followed by a fine of $50 to toOO and imprisonment from thirty days to six months. The druggist who violates the law is sub jeot to a fine of from $o0 to $200. and on a second conviction a tine of $100 to $500 and the forfeiture of his liceuso as a pharmacist, to which may be added au imprisonment of from thirty days to six months.

There is a report that steps are being taken to establish a wholesale bouse here, which will be perfectly legal, providod the proprietor does not sell in less thau five- gallon quantities. Under tho cloak of a wholesale license an unscrupulous dealer could soil in smaller quantities with loss risk of detec- tection than the keeper of a “ blind tigor,” as evideuce would be harder to secure._______________

A Big Electric Sign.Within a few weeks tho biggest

electric sigu in the world will surmount a warehouse cf the Chilled Plow Works in South Bend and will bo visible for miles around. Tho sign is over 300 feet long aud tho letters are 10 by 18 feet. Tho central design will bo the familiar trademark of tho company 60 feet long and 40 feet high. To illuminate this mammoth sign approxi- mutely 4,000 16-candle power incandescent lamps will bo used, re-

3uiring 60-horse power to operute lem, and the wholo west end of

South Bend will be lighted. Such a sign would be practically out of the question for auy concern not electrically equipped as the Oliver Works is with a power plant of its own equal to tho production of 2,- 000-horse power.

All Get Pensions.All old soldiers are interested in

the new pension bill. Practically all soldiers of the civil war will now come within the terms of tho bill for few of them havo not reached the age of 62. They will havo nothing to do but prove service of at least ninety days, a thing which will bo easy enough to do from tho records. Tho pension provided foramouutsto$12amonth at the age of 62, and thence graduates up to $20 a month for those who have reached 75. It is estimated that the bill will call for $12,000,000 a vear, or more, but that the total of pensions paid will not be much changed, on account of the fact that mortalities are now rapidly diminishing the names on the pension rolls.

A REGION OF VAST WEALTH

Scheme of Almost Fabulous Magnitude is Becoming a Reality

in Northern Indiana.

SAND DUNES CHANGING INTO GREAT CITIES

The Industrial Prospccts of Garyand Neighboring Cities.

It is probable thut within the next decade the lake front of Indiana will bo oue vast industrial city. The signs of tho times point that way. For four miles back from the lake there is a vast waste of saud. South of that point there is a rich farming region that will make a splendid residence section, while the wind duues will be devoted to industries. It is the purpose of the promoters of the great industrial city to encourage even- new industry attracted to tho section to assist in the building of harbors, docks and ship canals.

The Calumet river will ultimately be a ship canal the same as the Chicago river is today. Miles of docks will front ou Lake Michigan where the tand will havo been dredged to a depth of at least 2o feet so that vessels can land. The lake steamers will bo able to transport ore from the northern mines to the docks of the big steel mills at Gary.

The railroads now lying in a perfect network across Northern Indiana will place coal from tbe Indiana mines at tho very doors of tho mills. Steamers and trains will exchaugc cargoes and millions of dollars worth of raw material will be transferred iuto billious of dollars' worth of products for world consumption. The industrial scheme of the Calumet region is uluioet too greut for comprehension. But it is not a dream. It is already becoming a reality.

Duriug tho last six years investments aggregating Slo.OOO.OOO havo been made in tho Calumet region. This does not include Gary or Whiting. In East Chicago alone there are now 10,000 people, to whom over $30,000 is paid as wages each mouth. Five years ago there was not a sidetrack at Indiana Harbor. Last month 30.000 cars of freight were shipped out of the lake front city. Estimates of tho probable investments in the Calumet region during the next five years are from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. The United States Steel corporation will spend not less than $75,000,000 on the city of Gary. Vast sums will be expended in East Chicago, Indiana Harbor. Whiting nnd Hammoud. for there are enough industrial enterprises now being promoted in those cities to add a half million population to tbe Calumet country.

The East Chicago company, which is promoting the interests of that city und Indiana llarbor, uow practically one city, has already begun the work of harbor building. It lias built a ship canal at Indiana Harbor at u toet of $280,000 and the Inlund Steel company has bought it and the land adjoining tho steel company and is now engaged in constructing two gigantic blast furnaces that will cost, when completed, in excess of S2.- 500.000. Plants now under construction in the vicinity of Iudiana Harbor alone will add 16,000 population to the city.

Tbe East Chicago company has already paid to the state in excess of $1,000,000 in taxes. Last year its taxes amounted to $72,000, which indicates the magnitude of its interests. Tbe same company is now building a canal from East CLicago to the Calumet river, a distance of nearly three miles. It will be lined with now industries daring the next five years as applications for manufacturing sites have boen received for almost every foot of space available.

Influence of Interurbans.At first it was feared that the in-

terurban lines might destroy the small towns by making it too easy for the farmers to do busiuess in the great cities. But, ou tho contrary, it has been found that a iarge and increasing part of the interurban freight busiuess consists of shipments of goods made from tho big cities to tho country stores. Investigation has pro veil that the little nnd big towns of Indiana served by the interurban lines are growing faster than those served by the steam railroads. -W o r ld ’s Work.

FOR THE LITTLE A t irwiVl - .

Strange Things Ono May Geo In a Common M.rror.

A very pretty experiment may bo made with a hand mirror on any night when the full moon is well up in the sky. Hold the mirror so that the moon’s image will be reflected in it, and you will be surprised perhaps to see four images of it instead of one. One of the.-e images will be very bright. The other three will be rather dull, like unburnished silver. They will be in a straight line, one of the dull images on one side of the bright image and two on the other side of it. Turn the mirror around slowly, still holding its face to the moon, and the images will appear to revolve around a common center.

The explanation of this little experiment lies in the fact that there are two surfaces in a mirror, one in front and the other at the back, where tho quicksilver is. The brightest of the reflected images is from the object itself. The others are what is known as secondiiry images, reflected from the front to the back, of the mirror and thence to the eye. This experiment never fails to excite the wonder of those who see it made.

Thero Is llttlo doubt a* to tho fact that itointi taste ami probably a roo<1 deal o f it, considering tho epoch, pro- aided at the toilet of the iroldcn-haired. white-shouldered daughter* of tho north as they wrapped themaelve* up In b<ar. wolf and fox *kln»—tho*o pro- totyixa of our sea!»kln jacket* and sable cloak*. It is true that protection from the cold was tho prime motive of thi* co%*erlng, yet it la permis- Kuble to believe that some coquetry of a primitive kind formed part of the make-up of these belle*.

The resurrection of women'* attire of prehistoric times must bo entirely left to our imagination, as no indications remain that might show u* palpably the effect produced. Hut later, when civilization dawned upon mankind. the evolution of woman’s drcas can be traced all through the frescoes of Rabylonian palace*, thc runic In- Mcriptiona, the pyramid* of Egypt, the eternally beautiful temples o f Romo and Greece, the exquisite statue* of Tanagra, tbe medieval tomb* In Gothic cathedrals. The gorgeous apparel of tbe Renaissance period may bo followed through the works o f art of the great master*, tbe paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. Titian. Vela*quex, Rembrandt. Van Dyck and Rubena; the sumptuous dress of the great century, that o f tho "Roi Soldi,- King Louis X IV „ haa been immortalised by Largilliere, Rcgnaud and Nottlor; the graceful attiro of the eighteenth century with lta court shepherdesses In coquettish costume has been painted by Watteau, Lancret and Pater; it waa closely followed by the nobleness. aumptuoslty and simplicity of the empire style, which 1* represented In tho works of Ingres. David and Gerard.

It may thus be seen that from century to century through art alone has It been possible to follow the history of woman * dress, as characteristic of tbe various epochs. Tho masterpieces of tbe great artists have been tho only documents through whose medium It has been possible to form an Ides of tho fashions of bygone days—and not of the fashions alone, but also of tho Intimate life of the dead and gone beauties—a precious and useful thing, for It has been Instrumental ln forming the taste and accustoming th* eye to beauty of line and harmony o f colors and shades.

Yet. iu spite of a faithful adherunco to the fashions of the period a personal touch was given by each celebrated master to his sitter—an individual touch that must exist In every woman’s toilet, howsoever closely she might desire to copy her model—bo It even tho reproduction of ono of tho groat painter's masterpieces for a masquer’ ado or a costumed ball.

80 much the moro must this Individuality bo asserted when the drews 1* copied from fashion plates in which tho design of woman's anatomy is so conventional, and so to say, untrue. There she stands, tall and slender, with a small head, a swan s neck, a waist no bigger than her throat, diminutive hands and feet, every dress and Htyle becoming this creaturo of imagination.

It must not be forgotten that fashion, rightly understood, is not a frivolous and futile thing, as claimed by Its detractors, but one of tho phases of art. a phase inspiring numerous marvel* which at all times make a lit frame for beauty—that “Joy forever.” a* asserted by the English poet.

Tho fashions of tho present period will likewise be Immortalized and transmitted to posterity by the cele- bratod painters of to-day. the Flam- engs, the Makovskls nnd many a poet

, or lover of the beautiful will speculate as to the history of some fair twentieth century belle In flowing draperies, with lhe lengthened and attenuated waist, tho cl In Ring yet vague skirt, molding her figure to perfection over the hips nnd then Haring boldly around her knees; skirt made deliberately longer than herself, falling around her, making her taller, forming a pedcMtal to her beauty, adding a languid slowness and peculiar grace lo her walk as she gently glides, scarcely lifting the fluffy hem without getting embarrassed In Its folds.

More than one will stop before a pair of dreamy eyes, gazing at him from under a dark velvet toque, all drapery with but a bird or disheveled giant chrysanthemum giving a touch of color to the somber setting, tbe chin of the exquisite face half buried in a muff, all velvet and fur. lace ruffles, chiffon with a bunch of violets or a Marechal Nlcl rose peeping from out

of the filmy clouds and try to read themystery of that life gathered long ago into the no le** mysterious beyond.

Man and woman will be arrested by that stately woman In trailing sable, ermine-lined cloak worn negligently over a creation of satin and lace, silver web and diamond spangles, with a coronet on the haughty head.

A ll this will be bequeathed to posterity—the outline, the lights and shadows, the richness, the grace, the style characteristic o f the epoch.

Yet this Is far from all that Is needed by woman. She must be donbly • harming by Intellectual culture, by attainment* and accomplishments, by higher thought, by loftier Ideals than the settlnr-off. to Its best advantage,

j o f mere physical beauty, adorned by , matrhless proluctions of the masters 1 !n the art of creating marvels of elegance and loveliness o f beautiful fabrics. T?i«* most perfect beauty as to form and features, enhanced by tho most exquisite conception* of the attire becoming her style, will say nothing to the heart nnd mind; If soul does not shine triumphant from her eyes, thought does not dwell on her brow, she will be hut a beautiful doll, appealing only to the coarser instincts, leaving the higher and nobler feelings un- tourhfd. Her shallowness, her frivolous talk, her pretty smiles, her silvery lauchter, to which so much study Is devoted, may be good for a time, a short time only. For beauty, as all fair things. I* evanescent, and the years tear pitilessly tbe wreath o f roses from off her head. Then ncthing will remain to her except the fear and horror o f losing her adulation which for so long has been her daily food and which turns its flight toward other business. An empty life is what awaits the woman who has mado a god of her beauty, has sacrificed everything on thc altar of vanity, and moro than one has ended by taking her life which became meaningless to her when age had dimmed her eyes, silvered her hair and withered tho roses on her cheeks.

This the women or rrance and Italy had well understood and their salons were tho field In which the genius of a Corneille, a Mollere. a Racine and other great poets and writers found expression, development and encouragement. To assemble such men around her. a woman must not be merely a dres«ed-up doll; no matter how exquisitely she is dressed she must possess Intelligence and knowledge, great tact and refinement to be able to lead the conversation, draw out the oft- times shy and modest man of letters, bring out his happiest thoughts, his most eloquent flow of language, argue, discuss to make his genius shine forth more brilliantly—then her fan becomes a scepter and a leader's baton and hor seat a throne. But all this Is gone; great men arc lionised, Invited, shown off for vanity’s sake to friends and acquaintances ns rare animals, tho 'poor men being rendered greatly uncomfortable nnd deeply mlsernblo by all sorts of Incongruous questions. To draw out a man of genius or talent, to spur him on. woman must not be too far 1 k * Io w him herself ln Intellect, ln knowledge. In the understanding of greatness. In refinement of feeling and

I depth of thought. Though genius and 1 talent are given but to the few elect, every woman of average Intelligence may reach the attainments mentioned If she tako but the trouble of developing It.

Thu* not every thought must bo given to fashion, to enhancement of the charm of the physical self, not everything must bo sacrificed on tho altar of beauty. Th© mind must bo adorned aa well as the body, the lasting must not be neglected for tho perishable.

JOKE ON THE C IT Y F E L L O WHo bet he could Milk a Cow, but He

Lost.

"Did you ever notice.” asked the necktlo clerk how tho average city fellow lords It over the country boy? Think's he’s wiser and better, you know. It’s natural—1 thought that way until I mixed with a few simon pure country boys, and then I tumbled.

"Yon see. my old man bought a farm down In Kansas, and I went down there to run afTalrs. I was pie for tho rubes. Course 1 couldn't milk a cow, and that tickled them to death. But I learned to milk, on the quiet, you know, and figured on turning the laugh. I got so I could play a regular tune In thc pail and thought I was on to everything. I was a fool. too.

"W ell, ono Sunday the boys held an outdoor entertainment In a pasture. Everything was allowed but biting and scratching. Of courso. I got the brunt of tho rustic wit, and it wasn’t half bad. either. But when It was passed around that I couldn’t milk a cow I Just smiled.

’•They figured for a few minutes and then scratched up $10. and I covered I t

“ T ro t *er out.’ I says, feeling kind of guilty. They didn't know about my private lessons.

•’Well.** continued the necktie clerk, arranging his stock on the table, "they trotted her out—the cow. you know— and I settled beside her on a one- legged stool and went after the juice. But nothing came, and everybody guffawed. I couldn't coax any milk out of that critter for love or money. The cow stood my abuse for ten minutes and never said a word. She was a model of patience.

M,I quit It's all yours, gentlemen,* I says.

"On the way home I confided my troubles to an old farmer who had

witnessed the strutffcle. ‘No more farming for tne,' said I.

"Trouble ia with you city chaps you never learn,’ replied the old man. "Those boys sicked you on a dead issue.'

"Explain neighbor,* I said."Why. the devil himself couldn't

Survivors of the Larchmont Disaster and Many Corpse* Aro Taken

to Providence— Inquiry Is Started.

Block Island. R. I.—Block Island had a brief respite Wednesday from the scenes of death and suffering which followed the collision off Watch Hill. Monday night, between the Joy line steamer lArrhmont and the coal laden schooner Harry Knowlton. The survivors of the wreck bud been carried to the steamer Kentucky, which was to convey them to Providence for medical treatment.

Fifty bodies also had been placed on board, and as the ve*w i steamed out of the harbor, those who were left on shore returned to their homes, many o f them to recover from the fatigue caused by their long vigil on th© beach.

The scene of death and suffering seemed to have shifted. The life savers returned to their stations, which but an hour before had been filled with the dead and with those few who hail escaped with their lives. The Kentucky's smoke was still visible across the sound, however, when a little fishing schooner came hurrying in before the wind with her flag at half-mast. A moment later a second Ashing boat was seen heading in shV©, also Hying the signal of death from her mastheud. A third schooner and then a fourth sailed in, each with a half-masted ting.

When the vessels reached shore, life savers and others were waiting, tired as they wore, to care for the dead as they hud cared for the living, and to prepare for shipment to Providence the additional victims of one of the most horrible disasters I hat has ever occurred off the New England coast.

Assoonas the fishermen were within hailing distance the captains shouted their news ashore. The sea had given up at least a portion of Its dead, and the seamen had gathered in 22 bodies, two of them th© bodies of women. The little lif© saving stations were once more turned Into morgues. As on Tuesday, the surf boats were run out und the dead were placed on the floor, side by side, to await the arrival of another steamer to carry them to Providence.

The bodies brought in Wednesday afternoon were, with one exception, fully clothed, and in addition hud life preservers strapped In them. This fact leads to the bollef that tho vie- tims, unlike the others who drifted ashore, had remained 011 board tIu* Ill- fated steamer long enough to fasten the lifebelts about them.

Early in the day it seemed apparent that few more bodies would drift on to the beach and a small fl«*ct of fishing vessels went outside to s©arch the sound. Most of the bodies were found drifting to the northward of tin* island. AH were encased in Ice and were kept on the surface only by the life preservers.

The first o f the schooners to reach port carried the steering wheel of the steamer and six bodies, two o f them women. The second boat had flve men on board. Then followed the other schooners, the first with five bodies and the second with six.

Corpus Christ 1, Tex., Feb. 12,-----The lower Rio Grande Valley Is

sometimes erroneously referred to as Southwest Texas, and so is KIPaso, but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED MILES APART.

It is Winter in Northern Texaa while the Gulf Coast country is enjoying sunshine like that of May.

In fact tho Gulf Coast knows no Winter—every month is a growing month.

Texas produces wheat like Minnesota, corn like Illinois, snd more cotton than any other two Southern States combined. And no part of this great State surpasses In opportunity and possibilities the Gulf Coast Country and the region down by the Rio Grande.

Artesian water waa discovered five or six years ago on the great King Ranch, near Corpus Christi. As time went on the Artesian Belt was extended until it now covers the territory from Robstown. sixteen miles wost of Corpus Christi. to Raymondvllle. and Is being extended monthly with every indication that a satisfactory flow will be obtained In all torrltory not covered by the systems of Irrigation on the Rio Grande.

One of the moBt successful planters on the Rio Grande la Mr. John Closnor, who owns six thousand acres near Hidalgo, on the S. I.. B. & M. Ry. From thirty-tbre* acres of Bermuda onions Mr. Closner last year (19061 shipped thirty-fire carloads o f as fine onions as were ever grown. This crop alone netted him $15,000.

Two crops of com can be grown on the same land each year along the Rio Grande. Rice, cotton nnd numerous other crops, as well as a grest variety of fruit can be grown Juat as successfully. At a dinner recently given some visitors, a Gulf Coast agriculturist set fifteen (15) different varieties o f vegetables before his guests.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.The Immigration During 1906 Was

216,000.

While it Is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders in commorcc and finance and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it is clearly evident that thero is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of prosperity. Tho Toronto Globe says: "The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty o f money, and our leading financial institutions are in a position to lend freely in the United 8 tatea. The chief productive enterprises o f Canada are not buoyed up by an era o f dangerous speculation, but are following substantial business methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any industries by extensive export bonuses that must impoverish the people as a whole, and ultimately lead to collapse through the failure of the artificial aid. There Is no extreme protection In Canada such as would cre- ato great fortunes for a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. The prosperity of Canada has no artificial foundation being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and Industry, with a proportionate extension of productive settlement to new areas.

It la true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every line will bring new territory within tho limits of profitable occupation, and will create prosperous settlements to boar the burdens nnd repay the outlay. We are not exhausting mineral resources, for it is quite reasonable to assume that, although minoral wealth is never permanent, oura will during tbe measurable future develop a far greater productive capacity than at present. Our timber weslth can be mado continuous by a judicious policy. And agriculture, the real foundation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on railway construction. We are not in the flush of a railway mania that could bring Its punishment through tbe useless duplication o f lines. The gigantic railway enterprises that now stimulate every line o f business In Canada will create a new Dominion, and thus render easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada’s era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at Its rapidity.” This article might have gone on to relate the great growth that Is taking placo in Central Canada, where thousands of Americans have mado thoir homes during the past few years. The past calendar year has given to Canada by lm|H>rtatlon an addition of 216,000 to Its population. Of this the United States contributed 63.781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere, say thst this number will be largely increased during 1907. _____

STILL MORE PROOFThat Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Have

Cured Even the Most Stubborn Cases of Rheumatism.

"When I was a boy o f sixteen." says Mr. Otto H. Hose, n retired grocer, o-f 1226 Lexington Avenue. Indianapolis, Ind.. “ I met with a serious accident which Injured the bone of my head over the right eye. 1 recovered from the accident to all appearances, but not many years nfler 1 began to have Intense pains In the injured bone, which came on every year and would last from a few days to several weeks.

“ I consulted the doctors who told me that I was suffering from neuralgia. The sight of my right eye was affected, so that at times I coaid scarcely see out o f It, while both eyes watered constantly. During these attacks 1 was often dizzy from the ter* rlble pains. The pains came on every morning and passed away in the afternoon. I never suffered from the pain at night

“ I tried without success to get relie f until a friend told me to try Dr. Williams’ Pluk Pills. When I had taken a few boxes I felt the psin growing less Intense and in a much shorter time than I had hoped for I was entirely cured. I have recommended the pills to several persons, who have used them with good results.

"My wife uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for nervous headaches and finds them the best medicine she haa ever used a* they give relief where all others fall."

THREE EPOCHS INA WOMAN’S LIFE

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDSThere are three critical stages In a

woman‘a life which leave their mark in her career. The first o f these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free g ir l to bedding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change o f Life.

Perils surrtM ind each o f these stapes, and most o f the miserv thut cornea to women through iU health dates from one or another o f these important crises.

Wotnen ahould remember that Lydia 0. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I d a from native roots and herbs lios carried thousands o f young girls over the critical period o f puberty, ha* prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change o f life more successfully than any other remedy In the world. Thousand* of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction,

Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, 111. writes !Door Mrs. Pinkham:—

“ I f e e l i t m y d u t y t o t e ! l y o n o f t h e g o o d . y d ia E . P in a h a m ’s Y r g r t a l . l o C o m p o u n d

Mrs, El vs Barber Edward* o f Cathlamet. Wash., writes;Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—

“ I want to tell you bow Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegeta hie Compound carried me through the critical |>cnod of the Chang* of Life without any trouble whatever, also cured me of a very iievere f«-male weakness, I ranoot say enough in praise of what your medicine has done for mo.’’

English Tongue-Twisters.Tho English language has its own

peculiar terrors. Who would not pity the foreigner attempting to under- stsnd such sentences as “ It was put ia case in case it should rain." "The first one won one sovereign.” “ I will come by and-by and buy a bicycler' And how could you expect a German to get at the real meaning o f the metaphors in the following sentence— "Be j g unhorsed ho dogged his man and soon had him cowed?**

Irrigated Lands.Do you know that at this time you

can secure irrigated land in the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming, for but little more than the cost of water for irrigating? It will not be so, very much longer. If Interested, let me tell you about the present opportunities to get land In I his new country, whore crops never fail, and where there la a good home market for everything produced.

THE STOMACH.

c. n. row ell-

My but peoples* stomachs do cause .ot o f trouble. 1 offered to wager some

doctors in St. Paul, M in a . , that one half of all sickncss is caused by the stomach. After I assured them that my medicine did nothing bu t pu t th e stomach in shape and they had spent a day listening to what people who called on me had to Kay, they had to

agree with me. They heard people come in ■nd tell me that for years they had been near the grave with llright's disease, or lung trouble, nr kidney complaint and all manner of diseases and that the New Discovery had cured them. Of course these people were mistaken, it was nothing but their •tomachs. Aa a matter of fact when the atomach gives out most everything else is thrown out of order too.

When a person feels tired ond dull and despondent, it loosing flesh ond don’t sleep well, hus a poor memory, a bad ta&tc in the mouth, u coated tongue, and other troubles he’s liable to believe a lot of things are the matter with him. Nine chances to one it's his stomach. I've seen Cooper's New Discovery bring back health to too many people in just this abape to believe anything else. Here’s a letter about it:

‘ *1 suffered for a long time without knowing just what was tbe matter with me. I seldom felt like eating. I lost greatly in weight. My digestion was ex- extremely poor and when I did eat I invariably suffered afterward. I was constipated and frequently suffered from nerve racking, violent headaches. When I heard of what the Cooper remedies were doing for others I resolved to try them."

"Relief came with the first botUe. My appetite and digestion improved rapidly. 1 am no longer oonstipatcd nor do 1 have those dreadful headachcs. I sleep well and am gaining flesh.’ ’ C. H . Powell, 13 Harrison Addition. Duluth, Minn.
