"Yessir."
"Do you remember that said some
thing about miracles?"
"Yessir."
"Well, Johnny, do you know what a
miracle ISL"
"Yessir."
"Tell me, please"

NEAR ENOUGH.

. 1t was a Maine girl OF whom the
story is told that she refused to marry
a most devoted lover until he should
have amassed n fortune of $4,000.
After some eXpostulatiOn he accepted
the decree and went to work. About
three months after this the avariciOus
young lady asked her lover, "Well,
Charley, how are you getting along?'
"Oh. very well, indeed" he returned,
cheerfully, "I've got sis saved" The

ADVERTISING RATES IN CITY NEWS
PAPERS.

The New York World, speaking of
the difference between the advertising
rates of the city papers and those of
the country papers, has this 10 say:
"Many a dealer who places a $40
advertisement in his village paper be-
grudges his investment, when it is
worth double to him what he pays for
it. Advertising rates in city papers
would astonish such business men.
One column in the Chicago Tribune
costs the advertiser 1926 coo. The New
York Herald receives for its lowest
priced column S39 ,563, and for the
highest $54, 800. The New York Trib-
une tor the lowest $2S.754, and for the
highest SS,64S, and those papers, it is
stated, never lack for advertisements
to fill their columns. And still there
are lots of people who wonder why a
country newspaper cannot be furnished
to subscribers at as low a price as the
great dailies are sold for"

A very religious old darkey brought
ten pounds of geese feathers into Baltl-

of such extra quality that he said:

not to mix any hens feathers in I'll

Cura for Pics.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, lOins and lower part Of
the abdomen. causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the
kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms OF indigestion are present,
flatulency. uneaslness of The stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiraIiOn, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is q
common attendant. Blind, bleeding and
itching piles yield at once to the application
of DIR. BOsanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the tumors. allaying the intense itching, and
e~ffecting a permanent cure. Price so cents.

introduction of the New and Popular Sport
IN This City This Evening.

The formal opening Of the toboggan slide at
annette Park this evening is an event in which
there IS much interest The slide is the first one
ever erected in Indianapolis. and the indications
are that it will be very popular with amusement
seeking people. It. is safe, invigorating and
neaitn giving, and the objections that can be
raised to the sport are but few The slide has
been erected by the Athletic Club at a cost of
something less than 81 900. The slide is an in
cilned plane two hundred and fifty feet in length
ne slope is not great, but sufficient to make the
rate OF speed of the toboggan very rapid by
ane time they reach the level surface.
Inc slide consists of two tracks, and
the ratings are firmly built so that there is lit
tie danger OF an accident There are two passage
ways up to the top of the slide, one on either
sloe OF the tracks, and up these each person has
TO pull his own sled. This is the part of the
sport that gives to it reality The slides are
made OF hard maple wood. planed smooth and
after some use the toboggans will run without
the help of snow or ice. The side will be under
the personal management of Mr.. Smith, presi-
dent OF the Athletic Club and he intends to
make the amusement inviting to the best people
OF the city. Six whirls given the mile a.

SHOT HIS DAUGHTERS.
The Bloody Crime of a Former Indianapolis
Tailor, Who Narrowly Escapes Lynching.

A dispatch from Erie, Pa, states that Chris
tan f. Schau, who moved from this city to Erie
five years ago. shot his daughter Minnie, killing
her instantly, and then shot and fatally wounded
his second daughter Annie. The family were
seated at the supper table, when he arose from
his chair and drew revolver. saying he
was going to kill his wife. The daugh-
tiers interfered. and when his wife ran
out of the room, he shot them. He attempted
to escape, and when nearly overtaken made an
unsuccessful attempt to take his own life. After
he had been arrested mob attempted to lynch
him. but were prevented by the police. Schau
was tailor, and during his several years resi-
dence here he worked for a number of firms, and
for time shop of his own. He was con-
tinually abusing his wife, who would never let
the police modest him for his misconduct In 1874
William Dietrlchs, who was then justice of the
peace. had a warrant sworn out for Schau's ar
rest, for wife-beating. The wife. as usual. sided
with her husband and the case against him was
not proven ia court He entered suit against
Mr.. Dietrichs for 81, 900 damages for false i'm
prisonment and secured a judgment for $500
air. Dietrichs appealed the case to the Supreme
Court where the decision affirmed.

The following items of news appeared in oul
Secon Edition of Sunday:
Conflict of Authority.

CHICAGO, Dec ia special to the Times
from Lincoln, Neb.. says: Attorney general
Lees transmitted his report to the Governor to-
day. He makes the somewhat startling and
unusual observation that the federal courts are
infringing upon the courts of our State. He
says: II find that there is such q growing tend
ency on the part of the federal courts to extend
their power that the machinery of our State
courts are almost parayzed. This is.caused by
a strained construction of the federal judiciary
act. and for the most trivial pretext the federal
courts are looked to as the final tribunal in the
determination of a criminal trial. The above
act has been so construed that in the discretion
of a federal judge prisoner in our State
penitentiary who having been duly convicted
in our District Court, with the judgment of con-
viction affirmed by our State Supreme Court. can
be released by habeas corpus, and the State is
obliged to carry its convicted felons to and from
the federal courts wherever they may be in ses-
sion, and that, too, at the judges discretion.
believe it would be greatly to the interest of
our people that the jurisdiction of the federal
court should be given in express terms, and be so
limited in other respects that the poor man can
litigate his rights we'll the rich. man, and
where an Eastern money loaner feels perfectly
safe in loaning his money on Nebraska farms
ne should be compelled to go into our Nebraska
courts for redress, in case Of a violation of the
contract"

At the archiepiscopal palace, on Madison avenue,
the chbshop refused to be interviewed. When
asked in writing if he had seen the cablegrams
from Rome in the morning papers, to the effect
that his action against DR.. McGlynn was
the result of personal animosity, he sent
down the following message: THE pre-
feet Of the Propaganda at Rome had
occasion before, both by cablegram and letter,
to contradict the statements made in the paper,
and he may find it necessary to perform like
service On this occasion. AS to DR. MeGlynn he
had nothing to say. The matter had passed out
of his hands and was now before the proper au.
thorty in Rome who would adjuGicate upon it. y
DR.. McGlynn still keeps up the pastoral res
