For the Telegraph:
is THE BIBLE A SECTARIAN
ROOKp

This question comes up before Judge
Bennett, at GAINESVILLE, on writ of
mandamus, enjoining the school board
at Edgerton, to disallow the reading
of the Bible in district schools. The
objection to the Bible in school is
based on section of article 10 of the
constitution of this state, which defines
the privileges of the district schools,
and declares mo sectarian instruction
shall be allowed therein" BY this
provision of the constitution, school
officers have generally ruled the Bible
out of the public schools. But whether
the courts have at any time defined
what constitutes sectdridn instruction,
and whether the Bible falls into the
category of sectarian books, we do moi
recollect. The fundamental principles
of public and private morality are ac-
cepted as taught in the Bible by chris.
tians of all faiths-Protestant, Cath
Ollie and Greek-and are held in the
substance by classes of religionists
the world over not denominated chris
tian. The word sectarian" has M
universal application, but is understood
| to mean q sect or denomination. Are
the ten commandments seetarian
If so, teachers in the public schools
should refrain from giving instruction
on the wrong of lying, swearing, steal
ing and other moral offences. The rul
ings of school officers are not Away
to be taken as law. The people wisl
to know what kind of teaching i
understood to be sectarian instruc
tion?' O.P. G.

Died, at st. Paul, Mimi, May "a, Mrs.
Chalwell Knox, aged a years. Mrs.
Knox was well known in this city prior
to her marriage, as Miss Carrie A. Row.
lett. She was educated In Switzerland,
and while in this city was engaged in
teaching drawing, in which art she was
proficient also in teaching the French
language. She was highly esteemed
here by an intelligent circle of friends.
On Sunday morning Mr.. Stewart L.
Hastings was found dead in his bed.
Although he had been failing in health
for some time past, no one thought his
end was so near at hand. He was on
the street all day Saturday and retired
on Saturday night. When his breakfast
was ready on Sunday morning his wife
sent Edward Quigley to cali him, and he
found him dead in his bed. An inquest
was held before Justice Mahoney on Sum
day, and, after hearing the evidence of
DR.. Ward and Edward Quigley, the jury
returned verdict that he died of apo
plexy. His wife has the sympathy of
many friends in her bereavement. His
funeral took place on Wednesday after
noon, and was attended by the Odd Eel
lows and a large concourse of citizens.
Samuel Bogart, of Richmond, ILL.,,
went into Mr.. Todd's residence, about
three miles east of Richmond, on the
Oath ult., and asked Mrs. Todd, who was
alone, for drink. She told him she had
no water in the house and gave him to
understand that his absence was better
than his company. Bogart poured forth
a torrent of profanity and left the house.
He soon returned, and renewed his in
sulting conduct by heaping upon the de-
fenceless woman all the vile epithets
within range of his vocabulary. Mrs. |
Todd called her brother, VIM. Rudolph,
who was at work in an adjacent lot, to |
protect her against the ruaian. Mr..
administered severe chastise-
ment to the young man in the form of
a sound fogging, and drove him into the |
road. Bogart then suddenly drew re-
volver and shot Mr.. Rudolph in right |
side, near the lower part of the chest. |
The wound is not absolutely fatal, but it |
IS yet difficult to predict how it will ter
inmate. Bogart was arrested, and, after
\ preliminary examination, he was taken |
% the county Jail to await the action of |
he Grand Jury.

THE BUTTERINE QUESTION.
A WISCONSIN SENATOR MAKES some
PROMISES.
To THE EDrToR.

To THE EDITOR.
l suppose that almost without excep-
ton every man, woman and Child in the
United States uses butter, and are inter-
ested IN being protected from the fraud
of counterfeit butter. The dairy inter-
est is one of the largest and most inn
portant industrial interests of the .coun-
| try. The damage to this interest yearly
| by having the butter product brought in
to competition with cheap compound
of fats sold to the consumers for butter
amounts to millions of dollars. Dairy
men, therefore, are vitality interested in
legislative protection from the manu-
facture of counterfeit butter.
Wisconsin has good law against the
sale of butterine for butter, but it has
proved to be good for nothing in protect
ing the dairyman or the consumer
Congress has now taken no the question
in earnest, and it is hoped will enact a
law that Will be enforced. Dairymen
throughout the country ought to write
to their representatives and give their
views on the legislative measures needed
for their effective protection. Being in
terested in the dairy business to the ex-
tent of making 150 pounds of butter per
week, | wrote to our representative,
Hon. L. B. Caswell, and to Senator
Philetus Sawyer, giving my views. r.
urged particularly that there should be
heavy penalties enacted, both by fine
and Imprisonment, for coloring any fatty
compound so as to counterfeit butter;
also forbidding the use of the word
butter alone or in combination with
other letters as the name of any artif-
clad fatty compound. I also expressed
my fears that the proposed tax of ten
cents per pound On butterine, so-called,
and oleomargarine would defeat the pro-
lection offered by the proposed law. II
fear the courts would construe the pro-
posed tax on a legitimate food product
as being opposed to good public policy,
unequal and unjust, and, therefore, un-
constitutional. If this should be the
outcome, we should be at the mercy of
the butterine" men. We should have
to continue making and selling our but
ter in competition with a counterfeit
compound costing less than half the cost
of butter. If the manufacture of the
fatty compounds of lard and beef fat is |
placed under the purveyance of the in
tenal revenue department of the gener-
al government, and tax of one cent per
pound is levied to cover cost of inspec-
ton, chemical ANALYSIS, etc., and the |
coloring of the compounds to counter
felt butter is prohibited by heavy penal |
ties, it would seem as though the dairy |
interest will be as well protected as it |
can be by legislation.
AS showing the interest felt by our
representative in this matter, Senator
Sawyer's letter is given.
Very truly,
r. f. ROBERTS.

"Well, madam" said fashionable
physician to a wealthy lady patient, :" If
you don't like my prescriptions, perhaps
you had better try Parker's Tonic, or
some other quack stuff" "You don't
mean it, DOCTOR" she answered, "but
your advice may be good for all that.
Sometimes what you call quack stuff
is the best and most scientific medicine
after all" She got a bottle of Parker's
Tonic and it cured her of neuralgia aris-
