,OCK ISLAND. WEDNESDAY. JUNE go, 1858.
Lev. CelIier,n n u rder.

Many in Rock Island who knew and
admiIed the deceased, remember the
tragic death of young Lev ID. Collier
son of Rev. Robert Laird Collier. and his
burial at Davenport in November, 1885.
The murdered young man was freight
agent of the A T. & g. +. road at EN-
peria, Kan. and was murdered by one j.
II. Marlborough, a clerk in the freight
house, who was under liquor at the time.
Marlborough had insulted lady friend OF
| Golfers and the latter knocked the
drunken ruff1an down. YOrborongh i'm
mediately secured revolver and that
night he deliberately shot Collier dead.
The case came up for trial at the May
term OF the Lyon county court in 1887.
and resulted 10 verdict of murder in lhe
first degree A motion for new trial
was overrued and the case was appealed
to the supreme court, the main grounds
for a reversal of the judgment OF the
lower court being the lack OF premedita
tion ON the part of the murderer by
reason of his intoxicated condition.
But the supreme court of Kansas holds
that drunkenness is no palliation, aud
that the murderer must receive his sen.
tence. In summing up the evidence and
cases cited, Chief Justice Horton said.
Lord Bacon said that 1T n mad man
commit a felony he shall not lose his life
by 1t; because his intirmity came by act
of God: but il drunken man commits II
felony he shall not be excused. because
the imperfection came by his own de-
fault For this reason the court almost
unanimously holds that il IA man kills an
other while in fit of voluntary intoxi-
cation, il is murder and he must suffer
the penalty. Marlborough voluntarily
stripped himself of all these balancing in
stincts by which even the worst OF US
continue to walk with some degree of
steadiness among temptations; and in his
case, to be tempted. however slightly,
was to fall. Upon the whole record the
judgment of the district will be affirmed.
1t may not be generally known that this
murder of his son by tho dI unken wretch
\ Marlborough has wrecked the mind of the
eminent divine Robert Laird Collier
was placed in a private insane asylum
forty miles from Kansas City a few
months after the murder.

The virus of rheumatism often remains
in the system through life, when it does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly,
as it Is always liable to do by attacking
the heart Ere the grip of this tenacious
disease tightens, it should be uuloosed By
that beneficient liberator from disease
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which will
free the sufferer at the outset from sub
se9uent pain and danger. No puTer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists, as
multitudes of the rheumatic and neural
gic have ascertained by certified experi~
ence. 1t is through the medium Of d reg
ular action Of the kidneys aud bladder
that an outlet is offered for the escape
of impurities which beget not only rhens
matte, but gouty ailments, and dropsical
effusions. To these organs the Bitters
gives an impulse, never verging on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently vig>
orous to cause them and the bowles to
perform their functions with clock-like
precision. Use it also for dyspepsia, bill
iousness, fever and ague and debility.

A MANLY MINISTER.
He Honestly and Frankly Confirms a
Statement which has been called in
Question. An Interesting and Out,

The Rev b Mills is a Presbyterian clergyman
and doctor of divinity, whose station is at Meade

| full pastor and man who has the courage of his
| Convictions. Some time since he made a state,
ment which appeaaed IN the public prints, and
which, Ms all outspoken statements do, nccasioned
much mmenI. Many letters were addressed 10
him upon the subject, 10 one of WHICH Rev. DR..
Mills replied:

The facts are these: my wife was an invalid for

cines, know Of. and my expvrience is Il large

IT, The many temperance men who have written
nae on this subject do not seem to realize that

they were born"
The above correspondence speaks for itself. II
shows that earnest, honest orthodox minis
ter, who desires the greatest physical as well
spiritual well being of the world, does not hesi-
tate to declare the Truth about what he has found
to be pure valuable and good The world would
certainly be far better II there were more such
