KIND WORDS. The honey blossom that the little bee sips Is not more sweet than a kind word from a loving, gentle and JWtjovolent heart. The beautiful flowers that God .has planted upon every hill and meadow, and painted In ail the colors ot nature, by the brush of the Father hand, Ailing the air with their sweet fragrance, glad¬ den us for a day and then are gone; the green luxuriance ot summer fields, spangled here and there by the delicate violet, the water lily, to¬ gether with the lovely foliage of the woodland, pass away; the music of the little birds ceases as the stern A'.tcr stretches forth his icy hand; ^jj^ gentle Influence of music, beauty and the glories of summer soon die; yet the influence of a kind word ls as eternal as time, as warming to the heart as the sun's rays to the chilled earth, and as pure as the heart of man when he first awoke In tho Gar¬ den of Eden. Who can tell how many feet have been turned from the path of vice and sin, how many a wanderer brought back to God, how uiauy souls redeemed, how "many disconso¬ late hearts quickened, and how many faint and weary souls revived by a kind and loving word? "Kind words," says one of our dis¬ tinguished authors, "are the keys that unlock the gates of Paradise and let the light of Heaven into our souls." There is nothing that will do a hungry soul more good (aside from the grace of God) than human love and sympathy. When the cold winds ot misfortune blow upon our lieads, and the rough billows of sor- '{Jh.- beat against our feet, then lt is that a Varm grasp of the hand and a sweet smile from the face, and tender sympathetic words of cheer from-the lips, are as ointment pour¬ ed forth. Reader, do you not remember when weary and dlscosolate-per¬ haps you had lust consigned one of your much lovod friends to the silent tomb-a friend whispered kind, sympathizing words into your ear and pointed you to a happier shore? Did it not bind up that wounded heart and cheer your drooping spirits? Was it not a comfort in your distress? Were you ever away from the home circle without one near to sympathize with you In your trials? If so, you have felt the need of kind friends and of gentle words. Let us try to imitate the beautiful example of Mary, to her Master and Lord, before his death. Christ ap¬ proved her action and paid her a lov¬ ing tribute: "She hath wrought a good work on me. Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall he spoken of for a memorial of her." It is so much better to scatter these beautiful flowers of love, sym¬ pathy and affection along life's path- 0 way while living, especially to those whose hearts have been crushed with the storms and conflicts of life. If you have any sweet and tender feel¬ ings whtch flow from real true af¬ fections, tell them to that one now. It will do him great good, and like the evening sunset, the gentle rays will reflect back upon your own soul. Don't walt until the grass grows ever their graves and then chisel In mar- j ble warm, loving words on Ice-cold .y stone. They will not crave your love or kisses then. We are to a great extent our bro¬ ther's keeper, and often we are re¬ sponsible, to some degree at least, for their failure and misfortune In life. Lifo ls short; death is sure; eternity is lo- g. J.

Stimp- son, of Wllllmantlc, Conn., who, af¬ ter almost losing hope of recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kid¬ ney Cure, which, he says, was""Just the thing for him," as four bottles cured him completely.

Death List of Murdered Persons Now Estimated at Twenty. La Porte, Ind., May 7.-The grlzly story of the private graveyard at the farm of Mrs. Bella Ouinuess, a mile uni t ii of La Porte, is sltll in its early chapters. To-day the estimates of the number of persons murdered at the place through the lure of a mat¬ rimonial bureau ruu all the way from 12 to 20. The exhumation yesterday of four dismembered bodies wrapped in bur¬ lap brings the total of victims known to have been murdered to nine.1* In¬ cluding the bodies supposed to be those of Mrs. Guinness and her three children, discovered after the fire, which burned the farm house on the 28th of April, the total of deaths to bo investigated aud accounted for is thirteen. Two New Graves are Found. There was a scant doubt that She¬ riff Smutzer to-day would discover evidences of murder In two more sus¬ pected graves as yet unopened. All suspicious parts of the premises are to bu dug up, willi especial attention to the "soft" snots beneath rubbish heaps, which so far invariably have .been found to contain bodies. Ray Lamphere, who Is In Jail here, still protests his Innocence. Prose¬ cuting Attorney Smith, however, says he bas positive proof that Lam¬ phere had guilty knowledge of the Guinness murders, if he had not In¬ deed participated in them. The prosecution ls In possession of letters, written In Norwegian, which he ls carefully guarding. These letters, written to Andrew Helgeleln by Mrs. Guinness, are said to contain references which Indicate Lam- phere's guilt. That he killed Mrs. Guinness and her children and set fire to the house in order to prevent any revelations that might Involve him Is the theory of the prosecution. Chamber of Horrors. In his cell, Lamphere was asked concerning a secret room In the Guinness country mansion to which no one was ever admitted except Mrs. Guinness herself. She had the key and kept the door locked con¬ stantly. In the night hours no one In the household was ever near that room. That the authorities believe was the chamber of horrors whose walls must have been spattered with the blood of the ill-fated victims of the woman's greed for gold and pas¬ sion for blood. "I never was In that room," Lam¬ phere said. "I knew that there was a room In the house that was always kept locked and there was also a room In the basement, a sort of Ice box, that no ono ever knew much about. It was a big place, capable of accommodating several persons." Buried in Groups. This place near a door which led out to the barn yard is believed to have been the temporary morgue for the victims. So many bodies have now been found that the authorities believe the woman saved her victims' bodies In groupes and burled them that way, sewed up lu gunny sacks adding chloride of lime to the earth to aid disf ui ^gration. I» .I'orse and Worse. Laporte, Ind., May 9.-No more bodies were dug up yesterday on the rarm of Mrs. Belle Guinness, but Sheriff Smutzer, In an lnterview.says there« is no doubt that 33 persons were kill »d hy the woman, and he ls getting telegrams and letters from all parts of the country asking him to look for bodies of men long missing from home. He reiterated his belief that the woman did not perish in the flames, but put the body of ano¬ ther woman amid tho farm-house ruins, and is in hiding walting for a chance to sall to Norway in dis¬ guise. State Attorney Smith still disagrees with the sheriff. He ls cer¬ tain that Ray Lamphere set the fire for revenge, and burned Mrs. Guln- necs with the house.

Popular Georgia College Held Inter¬ esting "States Day." Gainesville, Ga., May 6.-Special: On April 28 the students of Brenau College, Gainesville, Ga., celebrated "States Day." There are represent¬ ed In this college twenty-four States, besides England and Cuba. The day was celebrated as a campus carnival. Each State prepared a float which displayed the State flower, the State shield, the State colors and flag. No State knew what kind of float any other was to have until the time ap¬ pointed for tho parade, and when the" twenty-six fell into line It was a unique combination. Some were dainty flower floats, some historic, some comic. Old mother England was given first place. Miss Dorothy Elkins, dressed as Queen Elizabeth, repre¬ sented the British monarchy. Her float was decked in red and white roses, and from tht top of tho can¬ opy floated the Union Jack. The Old North State was well rep¬ resented by Miss Loila Elliott, of Murphy, N. C. The little float was attractive with the State flag and shield. The South Carolina float, spanned by arch of waving palmettoes, was very beautiful. Beneath the arch, on a pyramid of white, sat Miss Hen¬ rietta Kohn, Miss Ruth Holman,Miss Marlon Coe, Miss Miriam Camble, Miss Bessie Edwards, Misses Vera and Hattie Rena Mllhous. From tho top of the arch floated the protty. State flag of white and blue. The CtlÍA OAtKV ..ino OIITIIT ........ u\rIiQ ...... .....0.

Richmond, Va., May 8.-Although the South Carolina dispensary case will not be heard on its merits until some future day during the prosent term of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, now sitting hero, Judge Pritchard, who granted the re¬ ceivership petition, to-day entered two important orders in the matter. The first order stays all further proceedings under the original order appealed from, so far as they relate to the receivership created thereby, until the final determination of the appeal upon the execution of an ap¬ proved bond for $175,000 by the petitioners, lt ls noted at the end of the order that the defendants' counsel protests as to the amount of the bond required. The second or¬ der modifies the original order grant¬ ing the receivership petition so as to permit the dispensary commission to draw upon hanks where funds of the dispensary are deposited to an amount not exceeding $25,000 with which to pay certain outstanding debts Incurred by the commission In the administration of their trust and to meet necessary expenses. When the case comes up for final hearing Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States Supreme Court, will sit as a member of the court instead of Judge Pritchard, the latter being disqualified on account of having passed upon lt In the lower court.

KIND WORDS.
The honey blossom that the littlebee sips Is not more sweet than akind word from a loving, gentle andJWtjovolent heart. The beautifulflowers that God .has planted uponevery hill and meadow, and paintedIn ail the colors ot nature, by thebrush of the Father hand, Ailing theair with their sweet fragrance, glad¬den us for a day and then are gone;the green luxuriance ot summerfields, spangled here and there bythe delicate violet, the water lily, to¬gether with the lovely foliage of thewoodland, pass away; the music ofthe little birds ceases as the sternA'.tcr stretches forth his icy hand;^jj^ gentle Influence of music, beautyand the glories of summer soon die;yet the influence of a kind word lsas eternal as time, as warming to theheart as the sun's rays to the chilledearth, and as pure as the heart ofman when he first awoke In tho Gar¬den of Eden.Who can tell how many feet have
been turned from the path of viceand sin, how many a wandererbrought back to God, how uiauysouls redeemed, how "many disconso¬late hearts quickened, and how manyfaint and weary souls revived by akind and loving word?
"Kind words," says one of our dis¬tinguished authors, "are the keysthat unlock the gates of Paradiseand let the light of Heaven into oursouls." There is nothing that willdo a hungry soul more good (asidefrom the grace of God) than humanlove and sympathy. When the coldwinds ot misfortune blow upon our
lieads, and the rough billows of sor-
'{Jh.- beat against our feet, then lt isthat a Varm grasp of the hand anda sweet smile from the face, andtender sympathetic words of cheerfrom-the lips, are as ointment pour¬ed forth.
Reader, do you not rememberwhen weary and dlscosolate-per¬haps you had lust consigned one ofyour much lovod friends to the silenttomb-a friend whispered kind,sympathizing words into your earand pointed you to a happier shore?Did it not bind up that woundedheart and cheer your droopingspirits? Was it not a comfort inyour distress? Were you ever awayfrom the home circle without onenear to sympathize with you In yourtrials? If so, you have felt the needof kind friends and of gentle words.
Let us try to imitate the beautifulexample of Mary, to her Master andLord, before his death. Christ ap¬proved her action and paid her a lov¬ing tribute: "She hath wrought agood work on me. Wheresoever thisgospel shall be preached throughoutthe whole world, this also that shehath done shall he spoken of for amemorial of her."
It is so much better to scatterthese beautiful flowers of love, sym¬pathy and affection along life's path-
0 way while living, especially to thosewhose hearts have been crushed withthe storms and conflicts of life. Ifyou have any sweet and tender feel¬ings whtch flow from real true af¬fections, tell them to that one now.It will do him great good, and likethe evening sunset, the gentle rayswill reflect back upon your own soul.Don't walt until the grass grows evertheir graves and then chisel In mar-
j ble warm, loving words on Ice-cold.y stone. They will not crave your love
or kisses then.We are to a great extent our bro¬
ther's keeper, and often we are re¬sponsible, to some degree at least,for their failure and misfortune Inlife. Lifo ls short; death is sure;eternity is lo- g.

Death List of Murdered Persons NowEstimated at Twenty.
La Porte, Ind., May 7.-The grlzlystory of the private graveyard at thefarm of Mrs. Bella Ouinuess, a mileuni t ii of La Porte, is sltll in its earlychapters. To-day the estimates ofthe number of persons murdered atthe place through the lure of a mat¬rimonial bureau ruu all the way from12 to 20.The exhumation yesterday of four
dismembered bodies wrapped in bur¬lap brings the total of victims knownto have been murdered to nine.1* In¬cluding the bodies supposed to bethose of Mrs. Guinness and her threechildren, discovered after the fire,which burned the farm house on the28th of April, the total of deaths tobo investigated aud accounted for isthirteen.
Two New Graves are Found.There was a scant doubt that She¬
riff Smutzer to-day would discoverevidences of murder In two more sus¬pected graves as yet unopened. Allsuspicious parts of the premises areto bu dug up, willi especial attentionto the "soft" snots beneath rubbishheaps, which so far invariably have.been found to contain bodies.
Ray Lamphere, who Is In Jail here,still protests his Innocence. Prose¬cuting Attorney Smith, however,says he bas positive proof that Lam¬phere had guilty knowledge of theGuinness murders, if he had not In¬deed participated in them.
The prosecution ls In possessionof letters, written In Norwegian,which he ls carefully guarding. Theseletters, written to Andrew Helgelelnby Mrs. Guinness, are said to containreferences which Indicate Lam-phere's guilt. That he killed Mrs.Guinness and her children and setfire to the house in order to preventany revelations that might Involvehim Is the theory of the prosecution.
Chamber of Horrors.In his cell, Lamphere was asked
concerning a secret room In theGuinness country mansion to whichno one was ever admitted exceptMrs. Guinness herself. She had thekey and kept the door locked con¬
stantly. In the night hours no oneIn the household was ever near thatroom. That the authorities believewas the chamber of horrors whosewalls must have been spattered withthe blood of the ill-fated victims ofthe woman's greed for gold and pas¬sion for blood.
"I never was In that room," Lam¬phere said. "I knew that there wasa room In the house that was alwayskept locked and there was also aroom In the basement, a sort of Icebox, that no ono ever knew muchabout. It was a big place, capableof accommodating several persons."
Buried in Groups.This place near a door which led
out to the barn yard is believed tohave been the temporary morgue forthe victims. So many bodies havenow been found that the authoritiesbelieve the woman saved her victims'bodies In groupes and burled themthat way, sewed up lu gunny sacksadding chloride of lime to the earthto aid disf ui ^gration.
I» .I'orse and Worse.Laporte, Ind., May 9.-No more
bodies were dug up yesterday on therarm of Mrs. Belle Guinness, butSheriff Smutzer, In an lnterview.saysthere« is no doubt that 33 personswere kill »d hy the woman, and he lsgetting telegrams and letters from allparts of the country asking him tolook for bodies of men long missingfrom home. He reiterated his beliefthat the woman did not perish inthe flames, but put the body of ano¬ther woman amid tho farm-houseruins, and is in hiding walting for achance to sall to Norway in dis¬guise. State Attorney Smith stilldisagrees with the sheriff. He ls cer¬tain that Ray Lamphere set the firefor revenge, and burned Mrs. Guln-necs with the house.

In Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Burton.
Dearest mother, she has left us,Left us forevermore,
But we hope to meet our motherOn that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the home, and sad the hours,Since our dear mother has gone,
But, oh! a brighter life than ourIn heaven is now her own.
She is sleeping, sweeily sleeping,In a new made grave to-day;
We are weeping for our mother goneaway,
To a brighter place on high.Farewell, dear mother, but not for¬
ever;There will be a glorious dawn,
When we shall meet, to part no neverOn the Resurrection morn.
Thy gentle voice ls hushed,Thy warm true heart ls still;Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast.One by one the Lord will call us,And as then we cross the river.We may meet her one by one.
