usury would not be considered The notes
were now barred by the statute. and this plea
was set up by the church in the suit in 1878.
But the report concludes that
THE MORAL OBLIGATION TO PAY
this debt rests now upon the church, or at least
the acceptance of the compromise now offered
by Colclaser, which was to take $3.50 in full
payment of the debt, being the original amount
of 5000, less two of the small notes which were
paid. As to the question now presented
whether the church or Colclaser should suffer
the loss, the report thought that there should
be no question. The committee did not impute
improper motives to the church. but thought
that they had been led to take a false position
in their legal liability, losing sight of the moral
responsibility. The report was signed by Rev.
DIR. Sunderland, Rev. DIR. Hamlin, Judge VIM.
Strong and Judge Drake.
THE MINORITY REPORT
was signed by Rev. DR.. Fullerton, and in his
absence was read by Rev. Mr.. Ramsdel DIR.
Fullerton stated that he did not sign the ma
jority report because he disagreed with some
of the differences made in that report.
The report at some length then discussed the
question of the powers of the trustees in this
case, and pointed out that they had exceeded
their powers, and besides held no title 10 tbe
property. The report characterized the trans
action as a wrong done to the church by its
officers and an imposition upon the credulous
though avaricious Colclaser. 1t is not be-
lieved by the minority that any part of this
loan,
CHARACTERIZED By FRAUD AND UsuRY,
was received by the church. Dr. Fullerton
said that, however, he agreed with the major
ity that the note now due ought to be paid by
the Assembly church.
Resolutions were appended to this report re-
commanding the church to pay the note
DIR. Sunderland, in commenting upon these
reports, said that he felt the greatest SYM
patty with the church, and he did not believe
that any one attributed improper motives in
this matter to the congregation. He suggested
that both reports be accepted and printed, in
order that all could have clear knowledge of
the facts.
Both reports were accepted. and. upon mo-
tlon of DIR. Sunderland, their consideration
was deferred. to a meeting to be held March
Is, at the Fourth church.
In regard to printing the reports there was
considerable discussion. Rev. Mr.. Little, the
pastor Of the Assembly church, said that a
fraud had been committed by four or five men
who used the money for their own use.
Judge Drake in referring to what Rev. Mr.
Little had said, stated that Mr.. Kimball and
Mr.. Little appeared before the committee and
made extended statements. While the commit
tee had heard rumors that the pastor of the
church, at the time the loan had been secured,
and the trustees had united in defrauding Col
CHASER and the church, not particle Of evil
dence in support of such rumors came to the
attention of the committee.
A resolution to print the two reports was

Instructions upon the street car tracks tor
the purpose of derailing u car and in the
confusion that would ensue secure the

Tollefson was shot deal and the Barrett

detectives worked increasingly and un-
successfully for q clue. Reddy Barrett

The closing of the saloon threw them

A Strange Malady Which Sometimes At.
tacks Grave-Diggers.
A strange sort of mental affection,
known as 'corpse-quake," has often
been found to exist among grave-dig.
gers It is no uncommon occurrence
that person employed in cemeteries
for many years is suddenly afflicted
with a shaking similar to that expert
enced by persons suffering from ague
A grave-digger who has been en-
ployed at Cypress Hills cemetery 70,
fifteen years was seen yesterday by
reporter.
II know of a number of such cases.
said he. Ten years ago we had three
diggers here who had worked together
for quite a while. Ono of the three,
who used to be a very lively chap and
always willing and ready to tell q good
yarn, became very quiet all at once.
His companions noticed this and, think.
ing that Joe was not feeling we'll, let
him alone. There was to be funeral
in the afternoon and we went over to
dig the grave. As soon as Joe stuck
his spade in the ground he began to
shake. His companions told him to stop
working if he didn't feel well, but Joe
paid no attention and continued with
his work until the job had been fin
ished. Three or four more graves were
madc that day, and every time Joe put
down his spade he shook. The other
two tried to make fun of him by initial
ing his shaking while at work.
A few days later Joe's compan.
ions had the corpse-quake, too, and
week later had to stop work entirely.
Il thought that the three men had
contracted malaria, but, strange to say,
they never would have that peculiar
shake while away from the cemetery.
Joe came back to us. but every time he
would pick up a spade and try to work
that old trouble would come back. We
insisted upon his giving up the job, as
no was falling away. He remained at
homo about q week, and his wife told
us he was getting better again, when
ono day his boy mentioned the word
spade in his fathers presence. It was
the strangest thing in the world-no
sooner had the boy said spade than
Joe took the corpse-quake again. He
didn't last long after that He would
be thinking about digging graves all
the time. and this made him so sick that
he died shortly after. don't remem-
Der what became of the other two men
They had to give up the job, and, ]
think, moved away from here altoseth-
err
Superintendent Thomas Marchant, OF
Greenwood Cemetery, said that his
men had never been affected by corpse
quake. 'Our men are old hands at the
business" said he, land l have never
known one to suffer from any such
trouble IN Y Wn"ld.

Old Hutch's Secret.

b P. Hutchinson, better known as Ole
Hutch, astouished the world by the manner
in which he manipulated the Chicago wheat
matchmaking, tits said, the enormous sum
of <5,O00,00O, on his wheat deals, in less
than a month. Eccentric; possessed of
little education, his success seemed marvel
Gus.
His friends and those who know him best
were not surprised.
A prominent resident broker of Chicago,
who knows him well, tersely sums up
Hutchinson in these words: "What he knows,
he knows we'll, and that's Old Hutch's Sc
cret."
We once heard a prominent stock oper-
ator, speaking of Jay Gould, remark: "He
knew a year ago what the balance of us are
thoroughly and we don't, else we, too, would
be Goulds.''
A noted manufacturer of certain medici-
nal remedies has achieved world wide
reputation simply because he possesses a
thorough knowledge of his business.
Enterprising and progressive, he was not
disposed to rest content with the introduce
tion of the only genuine remedy for the
prevention and cure Of all kidney and liver
disorders, the name and character of War
ner's Safe Cure being Familiarity known in
every household throughout the entire CIV
ilized world-but he concluded to further
benefit the world and revive some old-fash-
toned remedies which have, for period,
been lost.
Re-discovered, they are the Oldest, the
newest and the best.
Used when the Pilgrim Fathers landed,
they have been much improved upon and
are now known as "Warner's Log Cabin
Remedies" Chief among them being LOG
Cabin Sarsaparilla," for the blood, and 'Log
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" tonic
and stomach remedy.
Old Hutch's secret is worth its millions OF
dollars to him, and millions of people in the
United States will rejoice that they are now
enabled to secure the best of those old-tlme
Log Cabin Remedies through the use OF
which our grandparents attained and en-
joyed rugged, healthy old age.
