INCREDIBLE BEAsTLINEss.

Some of the incidents related in con-
nection with these horrible practices are
almost incredible in their utter and un.
redeemed depravity. Thus it is related
how, in 1868. Congo and JeanLie Pelle,
brother and sister, and both Voudoo de-
voices, decoyed their own sisters little
girl from the mothers care, and offered
it sacrifice at Voudoo fes ival. An
even more horrible feature of the same
tragedy is that the mother, also "be.
lever" partook of some of her own
infants flesh at the cannibalistic feast
which followed the sacrifice.
This crime was committed during the
rule of President Geffrard, one OF the
few Haytian rulers who have been cour-
ageous enough to attempt to put down
these awful practices, and upon hearing
of the occurrence he took such prompt
measures that eight of the principal par
ticipants in the horrible affair, including
the unnatural brother and sister, were
arrested, convicted and shot to death.
The arrest as also the means of saving
the life of another intended victim, a
girl who was in the custody of the
wretches awaiting death.
In connection with what has been
stated as to the mother eating the flesh
of her own child, it may be remarked
that such instances of utter depravity
are not uncommon among Voudoo devo-
tees, particularly such as, through fire.
quent attendance at the sacrificial feasts,
have developed taste for human hesh
which they do not hesitate to crafty
upon all possible occasions and without
reference to their religious rites.
EATING HER OWN CHILDREN.
One woman confessed while in prison
to having eaten part of the flesh of two
of her own children, sacrificed to allay
the anger of the serpent, and when
asked by the Catholic priest to whom
she make the confession how she could
bring herself to do such horrible thing,
said pertly and in perfect good faith,
"Who had better right to eat them
Was | not their mother ~
1t is also declared that during the
troubled and unsettled times of 1869 it
was no uncommon thing, food being
scarce, to see human flesh publicly Of
fered for sale under the nnme of goat
meat. This is the testimony of the wife
OF missionary. But to come down to
La much more recent date, a French ply.
sician testified that in 1884, at Port de
Paix. the leg Of child was served with
his dinner and he ate q small portion be.

A Good Investment

Anyone Who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such u venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety Of a government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
rasks especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide of immit
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land. easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for safe place to
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit. or if you are farm.
er and want farm of your own, call on
me and see what l have to offer. will
make the visit profitable to you. Office

Annual Week of Prayer.

The annual week of prayer for the Y.
NJ. c. A. begins Sunday, Nov IA. This
appointment is made by the Worlds Con-
ference and the American International
convention of Young Mems Christian AS
sociations' This will be the twenty>frst
observance Of this season and the indica-
tions are that it will be more widely OBJ
served by the associations. in the country
particularly. than in any previous years.
According to the latest gathered statistics
there are in the world 9,372 associations.
In America there are 1,071, with an aggre-
gate membership of 100000, annual cur
rent expenses of $7S5, 900 and total net
property, consisting of 80 buildings, 365
libraries of $50, 900 volumes, "A building
funds, etc, of $5,040,17s; 500 report
young mems bible classes and 500 report
young mems prayer meeting, $40 have
educational classes; 1908 lectures were
given last year, there are 444 reading
rooms, l01 gvmnasiums, 4s7 general
secretaries and other paid officers, 14S
boys departments, Sc railroad branches,
10 German branches. 226 college and 81
colored associations.
The early establishment of the interna-
tional organization in America with an
efficient managing committee and visit
ing secretaries; the subsequent establish
ment. through this parent agency, of
strong state organizations, with effective
executive committees and travelling Sec
retaries, together with the large increase
in the number of local secretaries, are
among the principal causes of the mar
vicious growth of the American associa-
ton.

The Shrievalty Contest.

CARBON CLIFF. ILL.,, October 24.-Will
you allow me space in the columns of
yeur worthy paper to briefly discuss the

shrievslty contest is concerned, and in
doing so | wish to introduce only such
as are positive facts | have been a
voter in this state since 1873. having
previously lived in Chicago for
fifteen years. And in all these years in
which | have taken an active part in pol,
itics, | never saw SO many low, mean
tricks as the Morganitcs are guilty of
here in Rock Island county. These Nor.
ganites came out here last Monday even
ing, knowing full well it was the regular
night for the literary society in the school
hall. and took advantage of this to get a
crowd. Our secretary had the courage
| to tell them what he thought of them.
And as TO Morgan, he had better beware
of how he comes up here, after using the
foul language he did about the Catholics
and praising the Orange doings. There
are five or six Catholic families up here
am certain that the Morganites lost
more votes by their coming out here, than
could have been made
l know good many respectable repub
licaus who are going to vote for Silyis.
To be candid, mean to le; you and all
the readers of your worthy paper know
that We Catholics are not prejudieed
but We have too much respect for a minis
lister of the gospel-especially when that
minister is aspiring for an Office belonging
to the hang>man-to help elect him. The
republican party should stop resorting 10

Peasants expressed here. There is no
more solid south in this country, and no
more need for bloody shirt doctrines.
Besides, the democrats in this section
were as much to be credited in putting
down the rebellion as the republicans,
notwithstanding that Morgan is trying to
get into the sheriff's Office on the strength
of his war record; but he can't
