wine ID Sacrament.

The County Attorney Of Dickinson
county recently wrote q letter TO the
Acknowledgement of the State, stating
that he had been asked to institute q
prosecution against certain church
members for having administered and
used fermented wine in the Observance
of the religious cereml ny known as
the Sacrament of the Lords Supper,
and he desired to know Of the Attor-
ney-G General if the sale of wine for such
purpose was in violation to the pro-
hibitory law. The General
replied that the sale of intoxicating
liquors by any one for any purpose,
except medical, scientific, or mechanl-
cal, would be a violation of the law,
and make the person selling liable to
its penalties. The close of the AttOr-
ney-General's letter is as follows:
ain regard to whether its use in the
observance of this religious ceremony
is a violation Of law, ] would say:
That it is a well known fact that the
taking of wine by Christians in the
observance of the holy ordinance call
ed the Lords Supper, is as ancient as
the Christian church itself. 1t is not
taken on such occasions as beverage,
but large number ofpeOple conscien-
tiously and religiOusly believe that
the observance of this holy ordinance
is a Christian duty that is required at
their hands, and that it cannot be
properly observed without the use OF
fermented wine.
In the observance of this ordinance
each communicate only takes minute
quantity of wine, and this is taken as
a religious duty and according to the
dictates of his conscience! Now the
legislative object and purpose OF the
act referred to, is to prohibit tn. man
ufncture and safe Of intoxicating liq-
uors, except for medicinal, scientific
and mechanical purposes, and regulate
the sale for the excepted purposes.
| 1t makes it unlawful to keep or main-
tain a club room or other place where
| intoxicating liquor is received or Kept
for use, gift, barter or sale as bever.
age-and makes the giving away OF
liquor, or any shift or device to evade
the provisions of the act, unlawful, and
further makes it unlawful for a person
to get intoxicated; but nowhere in the
act is the personal use ofliquors which
may have been lawfully obtained by
any person, prohibited or made uDlaw'
full, provided they do not get intoxl'
Gated.
It cannot be said that church soci.
ETY. which uses wine in the celebration
of the Lords Supper is maintaining q
club room in which intoxicating liquor
is used and kept for use, gift or sale as
a beverage, and therefore does moi
come within the provision of section II
of the act. Neither can it be claimed
that the use in the sacrament is a Civ
ing away or shift or device for the
purpose of evading the provision OF the
act.
1 am, therefore, of the opinion, that
the taking of wine by Christians
where it has been lawfully obtained
in the observance of this religious Ger
emory and conscientiously used in thu
ordinary manner, does not come with
in the purpose and spirit of the prohib
itor act, and that there is nothing il
the law which prohibits or makes slcl
unlawful" Very respectfully,
". Is. JoHNsTqN.

Some Of the newspapers in Kansas
have abused Senator ingalls, for the
active part he took in getting Stanley
Matthews confirmed as Associate Su-
preme Judge, claiming that Matthews
wasa railroad attorney and that he
would be controlled by railroad corpo-
gave his first judicial expression on
the Supreme Bench. The question
involved was that Of transporting
petroleum by water or rail. The law
in that State prohibits sending pc
troleum by wIter when there is 4
practical route by rail. The de
PENDENT claimed that the tariff was sc
exorbitant as to make the railroad Inn
practicable, and Judge Matthews SC
affirmed. in ITS decision. This first
decision is not much evidence that the
new Judge is looking after the interes,
IF raiiroads.

Holders of the bonds of the late la

recently been holding meetings in
London to devise some some way of
getting their claims paid. Those Eng

chance for making money out of them
was the destruction of our government,
but as it was not destroyed it is eX-

Obituary..

Mrs. Ida Bell, wife of J. P. Ben, and
daughter of J. J. Casmire of THIS city,
died suddenly of heart disease on the
afternoon of the I'd inst JaT the resi-
dence Of her father.
The subject of the >dh ove notice had
iust passed her 9th year. She was
married to Mr.. Bell ABOUT three years
ago: a few months afteF their marriage
they changed their residence to Yates
Center in this State, but recently re-
turned, and Mr.. Bell had gone into
business here.
= Deceased's health had been poor for
several months, but no serious appre-
pensions were entertained in regard to
it, aid on the day Of her death seemed
quite as well as usual. She had been
rather anxiously waiting that day, as
her brother from Lawrence-recently
married-was expected to arrive with
his wife on the afternoon train. Ac-
cordingly she had gone up to her faith
er's to.meet them. When they arrived,
her brother entered the house she met
him, uttered some exclamation Of Joy
at his return. they embraced each 9th
er, and she expired in his arms. 1t is
supposed that the excitement of the
meeting induced the fatal catastrophe.
Very rarely does death come by any
natural cause so utterly without pre-
monition and the circumstances of
this event are still more rare. The re-
ception of a daughter, and the loss OF
one by the same family the same day,
is an unusual mixture of earthly joy
and sorrow. But SO it is, I'm the midst
of life we are In DEATH" Whata strik-
| ing illustration this event is Of the
truth of our Saviour's saying. "In
such an hour as We think not, the Son
| of man cOmeth."
There is in this case, however, great
comfort for bereaved friends in the
thought that though death came sud.
denly, it did not take one who had
| made no preparation for the change
The deceased had been a prOfesset
Christian for several years and especi
ally during the latter part of her !ift
had given good evidence of her faitf
| in Ale Saviour. 1t was great priv
lige at her funeral to be able to adOp
the sentiment of one of the hymns sung
| HSie's gone to the silent land,
Over the river of death
into the silent land,
Glad are the Heavenly choirs,
Sad is our pilgrim band" ~
