"REDDY'S" NERVE.
He Declares War Upon Newspaper
Reporters and Editors.

There have been some peculiar occur
FENCES in connection with the TollefSon
murder case. but none more remarkable
than an episode which transpired at the
Star-News Saturday afternoon. 1t will
be remembered that Henry Barrett ad
mitted to being an accomplice with his
brother in the murder. and that it was
asserted by Attorney Erwin that the
landlord of the Clifton house at Waco
MIA discovered Levi German, an expo
Hceman who had been sent there
in the capacity of a deputy sheriff
in bed with Chloe Belts. Henry Bar
rett's siSter-in-law. and had fired the
entire party out of his house. The Star
News, in common with the other
papers, noted these points in the teSti-
mOny. 1t WAS probably surprise party
of liberal proportions to the Star-News
people about o'clock when MeSSrS.
Barrett and German entered with the
appearance of lofty Indignation and in
Quired for the editor in a way that i'll
Dictated decisively that they wanted to
see him. City Editor Jones, who is so
small that his feet don't touch the floor
when he sits at his desk, indicated
mildly that he was in charge
of the office editorial we

of letters and grOwled out: II want
you TO .retract what your newspaper said
about my being found in bed with Chloe
Belts, and registering my name as
Johnson" At this "Reddy' Barrett
rushed forward and, pounding on the
desk. yelled, Yes, and I'm going to
smash your head for what you have
said about me- Mr.. Jones gently
slid out of the door and took refuge in
EditOr-in-Chief ShaW's room. Here an
animated debate took place when
Freddy" announced his amiable inten-
ton of punching Mr.. Shaw's head. That
Individual. however, can make pretty
good bluff himself and did not back
down. By this time some of the other
members of the staff came forward
and Barrett calmed down. 1t need not
be cOnjectured that the Star-News will
not make any retraction. The papers

Memoranda, was delicious triiie to be

melodies and concluding in Il tender
subdued strain. In his second selection
he was given an opportunity to show
his mastery in performing a piece
Astounding in tones ranging over wide
and varied field of harmony. In Ca

remarkable strength and command in
handling the higher passages, while the

his splendid technique. Prof. IOch was
loudly encored again and again. The
programme rendered by the band was
up to their usual high standard and i'll

followed by the communion service,
nearly every one in the large cOngrega-

THE PAST AND FUTURE.
An Interesting New Years Ser
mon by Rev. G. l.. Morrill,.

Following is the sermon preached by
Rev. G. l.. Morrill, at the Calvary Bap-
fist church yesterday morning:
The last night of 'S7 met the morning
of 'SS with a kiss. Coffin and cradle
stand side by side, but the tolling bell
for the old year has given place to the
clang and clash of the new. Time.
space and God are trinity of wonders,
but mans physical, mental and spirit
ual nature is adapted to them, and hope
looks forward assured of future that
awaits us, while recollection of the past
warns us that the past and future are one.
The last year brought joy to some,
grief to others and experience to all,
and those who complain have only to
separate their lives into elements to
learn their evil and Gods goodness in
mercieS new every hour.
1.-The souls dark cottage, battered and
decayed. lets in new light through
chinkS that time has made.''
George Macdonald uttered profound
truth when he said 1.-THE man or woman
who can say. THY will be dOne,' is
nearer the secret of things than the
geOlOgiSt and theolOgian.'
Happiness is the harmonious adjust
ment of life. and not until we come to
mother through our senses, to truth
through our mind and to God through
our soul will we do other than grind out
an existence of shift and shame, dis
gust and disappointment.
We climb life's rugged way guided by
what other hands. heads and hearts
have done. This years problem is not
to be Il repetition of the past, but an
advance for God, self and hui
manity, brought about by the sacri-
flee of our pride. pleasure and passion.

than Christian foundation is to organize
crime and invite murderous despair.
''rime shall unfold what pllghted cum
ming hides" The fire of infinite retri-
button is to prove each mans work,
whether it be gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay or stubble. Life Is
not worth the living or having in which
the love of God is wanting. Time is
the life of the soul. The present is only
segment of future infinite circle,
and not to spend our strength in prayer,
faith and work, that we may be rich
toward God and man, is to live life
whose repeated yesterdays only light
fools the way to dusty death.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold,
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
The future is dark, but God has prom
iSed to guide us. Furl the sails. What
ever storms or dangers rise, may the
days to come be better than those just
gone, and we be permitted at last to
drop anchor in the safe harbor of eter-
nal rest

The Typographical Union.

The meeting of the Minneapolis Typo
graphical union, at the Elks' hall, yes
terday afternoon, was an important one,
as well as very animated in many re-
spects. 1t was reported to the union
that some of the job offices and one
newspaper Office in the city were not
being run according to union
rules, and q special committee
was appointed to investigate and
report. A letter was read from c. H.
Dubois, of the Saturday Spectator, in
which he refused point blank to make
his office union one. A long discuss
ion followed, and in the end it was de-
cided to declare the paper "ratv
sheet. and the men employed on it will
be called out to-day. 1t is not expected
that this move will cause any trouble.

gated by the special committee is the

In Boston, few days ago, old Toppy
Mcclure and the fathers of. McAuliffe,
Dempsey and Sullivan came together.
They fraternized at once, and ex-
changed experiences over rotations
which brought out all their finer
qualities. Naturally the prize
ring demanded a great share
of their attention, and they dis
cussed it with animation. The SOILS of
three of the party are respectively
champions in the light, middle and
heavy weight classes, and they felt
called upon to show how their descend
ants came by their fighting blood. Nc
Guire got the floor first. and told what
terror he was in his youth. Nc
Auliffe followed with some Won
derful adventures of his own,
and Dempsey was not behindhand
when his turn came. Old Sullivan,
warmed with glow of liquor and
reused by the stirring exploits narrated
by his companions, let out a secret:

bye and a sthrong bye, an kin handle

nodded complacently, and continued:

count of his carrying the calendar bill

Guilty in perfecting the calendar ought
to make us more charitable toward the
shortcomings of creedS, which soon get
far more aStray than the almanac, and
need frequent reforms.
But the calendar and the still truer

than any of the old ones. 1t silently
perSuadeS men to say: II believe that
the universe is true, and that its laws
and Lord are forever faithful" The
olOgy used to teach that the sun once
stopped in the sky to help Hebrew
battle. But astronomy proclaims far
firmer and better faith, when it asserts
that the sun never did any
such thing, and that the
earth always comes around from Its
journey of so many hundred miles true
to the fraction of a second. This fidelity
of the heavenly movements gives ground
for far more faith than any of joshua
sO-called miracles. A sun like that of
the old story-stopping, deceiving man
kind, sending sailors astray, deranging
the day and upSetting all astronomy
would be the proclamation in the
heavens that our trust in order is all
illusion, and law all lie. Such mock
ing miracle, and only to lengthen a
miserable battle, would be the denial of
divine government, and fatal to faith.
But our sun, arriving at the solstice at
the exact second, and riS-
ing each New Years morning
at the exact point, becomes
perpetual sign of eternal order, a per-
petual miracle giving faith that the
world and its God can be forever
trusted. 1t helps to teach also that all
religions are subject to the same laws,
and all men children of the same
father; and so forbidS such masSacreS
as that which disgraced GregOry's day,
and bids us dissolve the old religious
bitterness in brotherhood. Even the
sun returning so faithfully to-day to
warm the world for another season, is a
divine gospel for all to read: and even

order and beneticent law, teaches a
truer religion and a better God than our

The Snake Wasn't Dead.

cient to kill it put it in the bow of the
Skitf, and with two or three of the men
started back to camp, intending to have
some fun with it. We had it sooner than
we anticipated. One OF the men was
sitting in the bow, telling what he would
do if snake attacked him, when l dis

head and poke it up between our brave
mans knees. He looked down, saw it,

Black Snake Chokes an Owl.

PalatKa, (tla.) news.

this county few days ago saw large
horned owl strike as if for prey in a
marsh near the road along which he
was riding. AS the bird did not
rise Immediately, Mr.. Barker con-
cluded it had caught something too
heavy for it to rise, and walked over to
see. On reaching the spot the owl was
seen struggling with extended wings on
the ground nearly dead. Mr.. Barker
killed him with blow of his whip
stock, and then saw that a black snake
was twisted around his neck and had
already chOked the bird nearly to
death. The owl had caught the
snake near the head and pierced
it with his great hooked talons.
Evidently the snake had thrown the
rest of its body around the birds neck
in a deadly embrace, and but for Mr..
Barker's Intervention would have
quickly killed it. So fierce was the
snake that it paid no heed to the death
of its enemy, and Mr.. Barker killed
both and then carried the two, still
locked together, to his home, where
they were seen by many.

The Great Murder Case Almost
Ready for the Jury.


Ready for the Jury.
The case of Timothy Barrett for the
murder of Thomas Tollefson, which has
been on trial fer the past two weeks,
will be given to the jury to-day. County
Attorney Davis will sum up the ease for
the prosecution, and will be followed
10y that noted criminal lawyer, William
Erwin. who will sum up the case for the
defense. 1t is generally supposed that
the entire day will be taken up
10y the counsel, and that the jury
will not be charged by the court before
evening. There has been considerable
surprise eVinced that the prosecution
has not used as witness the man who
first discovered that TollefsOn had
been murdered, and who stopped the
ear on which the murdered driver was
lying. This case has attracted great
deal of attention, on account of the
principal witness for the prosecution
and the only witness who has con-
nected Timothy Barrett with the muir
der, being his own brother.
