whom you can cut in two and not

you could lay Wayne MacVeagh

icicles of viciOusness from every

The Alta says that large num-
Der of people are going to Califor-
MIA from Oregon and Washing
ton Territory, "because of the
drouth." If that be so, and it
must be so or the -Alta wouldn't
say SO, then the action OF these

ton of what is called "jumping out

THE papers have been filled for couple of
days with the story of the dishonorable flight
of wife from her home and her sorrow
and distress at st. Louis when she woke
from her delusion and found her bauble
miserable pinchbeck. An interview with the
husband and father is printed, in which he
is made to say, responding to question:
Take her back? We'll, that's fearful
question to have to answer, but-yes L shall.
| cannot do otherwise. | have a darling
child upstairs and an eStimable son at home.
Both my wife and | spring from good stock,
aud must see TO the chldren's welfare"
The man who made that answer meaning
it, is a man, and he deserves all praise for his
high-minded and honorable course. He re-
CARDS marriage and home and family for
what they really are. When a man and
woman link their lives together and become
parents, they may not lightly esteem their
duty toward their children. With little ones
TO educate into men and women no cross
should be too heavy to bear no sacrifice too
great to make for their sakes. If the views
entertained by this man were more preva-
lent there would be fewer homes disrupted,
fewer hearts broken, fewer lives ruined.

mon for many public men to treat-not Sec
tartan and denominational questions, but
broad, fundamental, vitalzing principles of
religion. No apology or explanation is
needed or is in place for pulpit, and press,
and teachers of every grade and name to
enforce upon this national Sabbath the inn
portant lesson that the United States is
Christian nation, and that its permanence
and prosperity depend absolutely upon its
fidelity to "the eternal rules of order and
right which Heaven itself has ordained"
Inspired with the feeling with which Wash
ington was permeated when he assumed the
duties of the first presidency of the republic,
and when in the seclusion of his home at
Mount Vernon, he sent forth to his beloved
countrymen his farewell address, we can
read with new sense of their fitness and
real significance the admirable proclama-
tons of President ana Governor, a..
whose official suggestion the individual
Christian to-day lifts his heart in
gratitude to God, while the whole ma
ton keeps silence before Him" This is a
Christian nation. When representative
assembly of American citizens stand in the
falling rain for hours to do homage to the
memory OF the man from whom we have
here quoted, and turn from his unveiled
effigy in street where usually Mammon
holds high carnival, to roll the sublime choral
of Praise God from whom all blessings flow"
through its narrow defile, there can be little
question to-day that whether the United
States has God in the constitution" or not,
He is in the warp and wool of the national
life, in the national conscience and in the
national judgment 1t is "a nation whose

LOVERS soRRowFUL REUNION.
Found in Jail on a Charge of Murder by His
Sweetheart.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 28-A reunion of lovers,
under circumstances entirely devoid of the
joy common to such occasions, took place in
the city Jail this evening. Fritz Spilker the
German saloon keeper who shot and killed
his partner Ernest Kornhardt. last Saturday
morning, was removed to the jail this morn
ing on a warrant charging him with murder.
Shortly afterward he received a message
from friend, telling him that his affianced
wife, Lena Kleinsmith, who went to school
with him in their late home In Minden,
Westphalia, would arrive in the city on the
evening train. The news broke Spilker down
completely He knew that the girl was on
her way to join him, but did not expect her
until toward the end of the week. At about
clock this morning the young girl, ac-
companied by friend named Herman
Trows, who will take charge of her in the
future visited the prisoners cell. The
meeting was sad one. The girl, who is only
eighteen years of age could not wait until
the turnkey opened the door, but reaching
her arms through its bars, grasped her I'M
happy lover, drew him too her, and covered
his face with kisses only stopoing to plant
lively murmur, "Mein Fritz, mein FRITZ"
When the door was opened the lovers en-
braced tenderly and then sat down together
and discussed the terrible situation in which
the girl found her lover. A strange part of
the story is that Spilker, Lena, and the muir
dered man, Kornhardt are all old schoolfel-
lows, and it was this fact which led Spilker
to take the latter into partnership when
their business relations began. Things were
running smoothly and probably. Spilker
sent to Germany for his bride, whom he was
to have married Immediately upon her ar
rival in St. Louis According to Spilker, his
partner ran the business in such a way that
the money with which he expected to pre-
pare home for his bride was fast vanishing.
and it was the thought of his not having the
means to take care of her when she arrived
which drove him to commit the deed for
which he is held to answer. The girl has
brought some ST., 500 with her, which she de-
clares she will spend in the effort to gain her
lovers liberty.

SERGEANT MASON said II knew if killed
him would be guilty of murder, and in

court-martial, but it would have been by

INDIANA justice sometimes does business
in good style, without unnecessary delay or
needless pain. On Tuesday evening Jack
Trainor was released from Jail. He sauntered
down to the Bates House and picked out an
overcoat belonging to guest. He liked it so
well that he walked off with it. He was soon
captured, and the next morning was put on
trial, convicted and sentenced and on his way
to prison by noon; and by the time twenty
four hours had passed was in the peniten-
tiary on two years visit. That's something
like. But if he had killed man.
