Lynch Law i'm Nebraska-A Clergy
man Leading "a Mob.

The Nebraska papers contain particu-
lars of case of lynch law in that State
which reflects very seriously on the
Christian character of clergyman, who
is reported to have headed mob and de-
cided the fate of a murderer by vote. A
few weeks ago a man named Miller, who
was an abandoned character, set out to
go from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Sioux
City. On his way he fell in with a man
named Dunn, whom he murdered without
provocation, and then fled to Council
Bluffs, where he was arrested and carried
to Ponca. On being incarcerated in jail,
Miller, harrassed by the pangs of
conscience, and the awful fate before him,
sent for Rev. Mr.. Beardshear, and said he
wished to confess everything. The good
man suggested that the murderer make
public confession, which he agreeing to,
the minister of Christ assembled some 300
people in the church, and the sheriff
brought the prisoner before them A hymn
was sung, and a chapter in the Bible on
the crucifxion read, and prayer offered
np, after which the murderer arose and
addressed the audience, detailing at great
length the facts connected with the mur-
der, and confessing himself guilty of the
crime. When he had done, Rev. Mr..
Breadshear stood up and said the assem-
blage had solemn duty to perform and
that they must adjudge the prisoner. He
wanted all to vote and would have no
shirking or dodging. He then put the
question, "Shall the man, Miller, be
hung !" and all the assemblage voted in
the affirmative except two. The godly
man, not noticing the email minority, de-
clared the question carried unanimously.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1870-09-01

The prisoner was then taken out, a
rude scaffold erected, and Miller
placed in a wagon and driven under IT,
The most singular part of this perform
ance was that Miller seemed to think the
matter all right, and regular. When ask
ed if he had anything to say why he
should not be hung, he replied +" for
give all my enemies, and have truly re-
pented of my sins. l do not blame any
one for what you are about to do. l am
reconoiled to God, and heaven is opening
to receive my regenerated soul" The
minister assured the prisoner angels
were waiting to receive and welcome him
into Paradise, and at given signal the
wagon started, and Miller was left sus-
pended between earth and sky. He died
hard, writhing convulsively for about
wenty-eight minutes, when physician,
advanced, and after careful examination
pronounced life extinct. The body was
then taken down, laid on boards, and
placed in the school house until it could
be buried. Throughout the trying ordeal
Miller was perfectly calm, and even
helped to adjust the rope about his neck.
A correspondent says: "We have often
had cases of lynch law in our country, but
this is the first attempt to reduce the
thing to a system and ceremony. The
spectacle of Christian minister, in his
clerical robes, conducting the proceedings
of a lynch court, is indeed novel, and
will no doubt be carefully noted as a new
evidence of the progress of American
civilization"

est old Ben Wade, whose ability, devotion
to duty and the Republican party have
earned for him front rank. 1t says:
1t is nevertheless true that, as general
rule, the appointments of Gen. Grant
have been surprises. By this time Gen.
Grant must have learned, what everyone
has seen illustrated in his administration,
that under our form of government, if the
Cabinet is not a source of power, it is sure
to be source of weakness. And it is much
to be hoped that If any change in the
Cabinet is to be made, it will be change
for the better, which could not be said of
the exchange of Secretary Cox for Ben
Wade. Why does not Mr.. Fish go to
England himself
The editor of the Free Press had better
proceed at once to Washington and fix
things up. Gen. Grant will probably
yield to the superior knowledge of the
Free Press man.

JOEL HAMILToN-HIs RELIGIOUS CON.
VERSION.

OF all the pioneers of Fair Haven, Joel
| Hamilton was the acknowledged Cory.
pheus, the champion in church and state
His practised good sense, economy and
financial ability were indispensable to
society from first to last. Tilly Gilbert
was the peace-maker, noted for urbanity,
giving tone to the amenities of the grow
ing village Jacob Davey was the me
chanical genius and enterprising leader
in business transactions. Others filed
their respective places in the professions
and callings of the community, but with
ont the purse, the sword is useless in war
So Joel Hamilton was the generous trea-
surer, to disburse money, when needful,
to his friends, who were themselves the
friends of good order, and credit to the
less fortunate builders of the social fabric.
ALI honor to his name He wrought a
good work in his day. He had noble
purposes, and, with sturdy independence,
he attained their end and secured their
triumph.
In 1916, remarkable reformation put
new face on society in Fairhaven. A
cold season of drouth and famine spread
gloom over the place. The hopes OF
husbandmen were blasted. The honest
emoluments of business were cut short.
The poor anticipated want, and the hearts
of all tainted and failed as though suffer-
ing curse. Meanwhile the people had
grown less sceptical under the influence
of gospel truth. However imperfect were
the morals of the mass, infidellty was
gradually whitening away. Pure doctrine,
in the main, irresistibly impelled TO better
practice. The theory that sit is no mat
ter what man believes, if so be his prac-
tice is right" is the invention of mere scio-
lists. and never sprang from the Bible, or
common sense even. Tell me what man
6eZseces, and will tell you what he is
The acknowledgment of the authority of
the Bible and the truth of Christianity
was the frat step and a most significant
movement toward moral and humble
life.
In 1916, a general and mysterious infu-
ence penetrated and took possession of the
bosoms Of men in Fairhaven, which led
to strange results, which became won
der and blessing to succeeding genera
tions. The personal experience OF liam !
