is good uotil another is told,

According to Links statement the
present manager cent never desired him
to carry out LIS proposition for the
reason that it would deprive them Of
the control of the ruad and of their
Offices. For be says lie told them that
capital was not willing to take hold Of
any thing unless it could be controlled
by its own management and that the
object of lis making so large a sub
sCription was to give him control Of the
road He had no object in view other
than the completion Of the road aud
that the management threw every pos
sible obstacle in his way and that they
got up the report that be was acting in
the interest of some Northern road

audited and the stockholders meeting

formed that the management were pre-
pairing to attach his funds as those Of
the company aud he deemed it proper
to remove the money to place of Sc

to think he was unfairly delt with anc

The reunion Of the officers Of the op-

have been grand failure. There was

very few Federals. Many of those

run fast or slow, according to pay.
In the late races tho winners bet
upon their actual knowledge of the
outcome, and only won because the
losers offered less money to the racers
TO win for them. At a late horse
race the owner of a horse said, "they
paid me $4,000 to let my horse go in
ana win against a much faster horse,
because they wished to plan another
race and then procure heavier stakes
and winnings next time" ANYBODY
Will run foot race, if paid to run.
ana VIII run fast or slow, according
as directed We presume both the
recent races ia Lancaster were made
up and the racers knew which was
TO heat as we'll before as after the
outcome. 1t such were not the case
the fault was not theirs nor on the
part OF betters. The runners wanted
money-worked for it, perhaps hon
estly enough, being hired to run. 1t
IS their business to run for so much
race, and in consenting to run fast
or slow they but obey orders. And
the same with the owners of race
horses. "What will you take to run
a racer" is fair question, and the
answer, 1920" is fair response.
And the racer MAJ then agree to run
eco yards in 20 seconds or in so
seconds as directed. This is not
particularly immoral, but the gam
bier who hires him only aims at fraud,
deceit, lying and cheating And such
is his open and known profession,
therefore, less his wrongs because his
practice is known. But the farmer,
merchant, mechanic, landlord, any
body in honorable business and OF
standard morals, who goes and bots
and by his pledges induces others to
bet on races, is most dangerous de.
ceiver and demoralizer.

The Murder of Christian Kelly at
Fairplay.

We clip from the Dubuque Herald
the following particulars concerning
the murder OF Christian Kelly at
Fairplay on the 10Th ult. The state
ments were made to the reporter
Of the Herald by Daniel Kelly, son
Of the murdered man and is probably
near correct:
"His father left Dubuque about 10
o'clock on the morning Of Monday
the 10Th, and went to his home near
Sinsinawa Mound, where he arrived
between three and four o'clock on the
evening of the same day. He was
seen doing his chores thai night,
when he was in good health ho was
also seen in bed by q neighbor; be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock at night. -
He was found dead about Z o'cloCk
the next morning, within about SIX
PAGES of the door. He had fur
gashes in bis heed, and the skull was
completely smashed in; scratch,
supposed to have been done by q
hand, was seen extending down the
right jaw. He was completely COW
cred with snow, indicating that the
murder had been committed before
he snow storm came on, there being
a heavy snow that night His wife
awoke in the night feeling cold, and
found that Kelly was missing
Thinking that he might have gone
and slept in another bed, there being
two beds in the same room, she vent
to sleep again. Upon waking be-
tween 6 and Z in the morning, she
got up. and started out to feed the
stock, but had hardly proceeded as
the corn crib, probably ten PAGES
from the house, when she discovered
heap on the west side of the house
| about six PAGES from the door. She
went up TO it, stopped down and took
hold of it, and found it was the body
of her husband. She then went to
her sons house, John Murray. about
quarter Of mile distant to get
some help. Murray returned with
her and removed the body into the
house. They then went out, shut the
door and returned to her sons house.
An inquest was held which result
ed in the arrest Of Mrs. Kelly. Mrs.
Murray and John Murray.
Kelly was supposed to be worth
much in actual cash. He had 10
landed property, said his son, and bad
nothing more than about $500 OF
personal property. The general pre-
sumption at the present time is
against John Murray, who it is be-
lieved had some spite against him -
1t appears that Murray had two lit
tie pigs weighing about fifty pounds
each, which were running around the
old mans place, and eating his chick
ems, which annoyed Kelly, aud he
he told Murray he would kill the
pigs if they were not removed
Murray was heard to say few DAYS
after this, that if the old man crossed
his path he would kill him.
After the murder bloody hammer.
an axe with short handle covered |
with hair and blood, and bloody |
shirt were found slowed away in one
of the chambers. Murray is a son
of Mrs, Kelly by former husband. |

Prussia and America

In many respects Prussia and the
United States are peculiarly neal of
kin. The two nations were born the
same century. When 100 began
It's course there was in Europe an in
significant duchy known as Prussia,
a mere dependence of the Marquisite
Of Brandenburg, which ir turn was
simply one OF the Electorates Of
Germany. Now it has humbled
Austria and defed France. That
Kingdom and our own Republic are
the only nations which have during
the present decade won lsurels upon
the battlefield. But in the general
intelligence of the people, and their
progressive tendencies, the rescm-
blance is still more conspicuous 1t
IS only there that we are excelled 10
popular education. It is thought by
some that both nations are drifting
into infdelity that liberty Of thought
Is made intellectual licentiuusness.-
If grave distrust OF dogmatc formu-
las is dangerous symptom, the
charge is we'll founded but before
pronouncing Judgment against the
Prussians and the Americans remem-
Der this as the United States il the
only Government to set apart annu-
ally a day for thanksgiving and
prayer to Almighty God, so the KING
of Prussia is the only sovereign to
follow our example.
