What Our Neighbors Are Doing-Matters
OF General and Local Interest-Marriages
and Observation-Disclosures and Crimes-Per-
sonat Pointers.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the Lutheran Synod, recent
ly in session at Milwaukee:
WHEREAS, The word OF God our rule of life
enjoins upon all Christian parents the duty of
bringing up their children in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord therefore, all Christians
who educate their children in schools are in
duty bound to intrust those who are not yet
confirmed in Christian truth to only such
schools secure the education of children in
the nurture and admonition OF the Lord. At the
same time it is understood that we are willing
to make good citizens of our children to the ut
most of our ability, and also to endeavor to give
them the best possible education in the use of
the English language.
WHEREAS, In the non-religious public schools
whenever they conducted in the sense of the
non religious state, not only Christian educa-
ton is excluded but also a rule things not
in harmony with the word of God are by way OF
instruction and discipline inculcated into the
children, so that the spiritual life of Christian
children is endangered or impaired; therefore
we Christ ians, ere in conscience bound to
submit to no law of the State which is directed
or may be used toward forcing our children into
such public schools. In accordance with our
daily prayer, Thy kingdom come" it is our
duty to preserve aud extend the orthodox evan
gelical Lutheran Church in this, our country,
and we are therefore in duty bound to combat
each and every law which is directed or may be
used to the deJriment and danger of our Luther
an parochial schools, which are effective means
of extending and perpet hating the kingdom of
God. Forasmuch our Lord Jesus Christ says,
my kingdom is not of this world, and Render
unto Caesar the things which are Caesars. and
unto God the things that are Gods" the separ-
alton of church and state is for all time to be
acknowledged i'll accordance with the word of
God. Since God has in this country vouchsafed
unto us the precious boon of religious liberty,
may not as faithful stewards approve of any
legislation which tends toward a confusion of
spiritual and secular affairs and endangers our
religious liberty, and we most cordially approve
of combating with legitimate such laws
as have been enacted to the detriment and dam
age of parochia1 schools in the States OF
Wisconsin and Illinois, while on the other hand
we for the same reason condemn all demands
upon the public funds for the erection main
tenance Of parOchia1 schools
For the reasons stated must, as Lutheran
Christians, give our cordial approval to the fact
that our brethren in the Stat of Wisconsin
and Illinois have, whether in co,.rts of law or
at the ballot-box, taken up and hitherto carried
on the contest forced upon them against such
laws, and we are, furthermore, determined
to advance our most energetic opposition when
in other States such or similar legislation
be attempted.

DICK HAYES CONFESSION.
The Confession of the Alabama Brute
Finally Made Public.

The Confession of the Alabama Brute
Finally Made Public.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 6.-The writ
ten confession of Dick Halves, the no.
torious wife and child murderer, will
never be published In book form, as
was expected. Last night a representa-
tive of the Press News Association
learned the contents of the confession
and the following details of the crime
which clear up some of its mysteries
are made public for the first time.
Halves states in a confession that he did
not contemplate the murders until the
Friday night before they were COM
mitted. 1t was then his wife re-
promised to do, and the plan of
putting her out of the way for
good was quickly decided upon. De-
tectives have been hunting in vain for
the conveyance Halves was supposed to
have used to remove her body to the
lake and his confession clears up that
part of the mystery. His wife and child
were induced to drink some liquor until
both were intoxicated and then under
some pretext they were taken to tho
lake and murdered on the banks and
thrown in. They were not killed
at the house, as has always been
supposed. He says negro wom-
an, Fannie Bryant, who was con-
victed as an accomplish, assisted him
from the beginning to the end and when
the bloody work was finished they swore
terrible oath never to betray each
other. If arrested they swore to die
without betraying each others secret.
The confession admits that Fanny Bry-
ant told the truth in her testimony that
Halves took little May from her house
Monday night. May would have been
murdered on Saturday night, but they
could not induce her to drink liquor and
another plan had to be adopted to get
rid of her. In concluding the confes.
sion HAYES wrote that he fully de-
served the fate in store for him and he
wanted no one to die for his crime.

THE Salvation Army is adopting a
new departure in establishing labor
bureaus in many districts of London, at
which no charge for registration is to
be made. The Salvationists are also
promoting cooperative workshops and
farms as means of employing the
working classes who are verging on
criminality. With this view a new
corps, known as the criminal brigade,
will in future await outside prisons for
discharged prisoners. and offer them a
chance to begin an honest life afresh.
General Booth has also been instru-
mental in establishing Salvation Navy
in Paris, working on the boats of the
river Seine.

SAC AND FOX LANDS.
Agreement Reached and Nearly 4OO, 200
Acres of Land Open For Settlement.

Acres of Land Open For Settlement.
SAC AND Fox AGENCY, /. T., June g.
The Sacs and Foxes have come to an
agreement with the Indian Commission
and the articles will be put in formal
shape to-day, and as there is no objec-
ton from any of the tribe or the Com
missioners, there is no doubt but that in
few months the Government will have
395, 900 acres of fertile soil ready for
white settlers.
The agreement was finished late Sat.
urday evening, after a whole day of con-
ference between the Commissioners and
the Council.
In the morning Chief Keokuk an
nounced that the Council was willing
that the Government should pay the
Indians S49l, ZOO. provided they would
be allowed to select lands where they
should choose. The proposition of the
Commissioners that S4S5, 900 should be
paid if the Indians should take their
allotpents south of the Deer Fork and
$500, 600 if they wanted the whole reser-
walton to pick from. 1t can be thus
seen that the only material difference
between the Commission and the Coun-
Gil was regarding the location of the
severalty lands.
Chief Keokuk in arguing the point
called attention to the fact that the
Council had made all the concessions
thus far, and in justice the Commits
sioners should make at least one. The
Judgment of the Council. he said, was
that il the Government wanted to civil
ize the Indian as rapidly as possible it
should offer them inducements to scat
ter out rather than go into one commu-
nifty to themselves.
"Here are men," said the chief with
pride pointing to the councillors, they
are not boys. They make you meet
boys at other places, but these men in
front of you know the Governments
wishes and policy, and they want to
promote the effort of the Government to
teach the Indian to work and do like
white men. They think it would be
best for the Indians to be near neigh
bors to white men,"
This speech had the desired effect, and
the Commission agreed to give S4S5, 900
and let the allotments be taken any
where.
The 395, 600 acres of land which the
Government has obtained for settle
ment is already being made the subject
of prospecting tours by large numbers
of eager whites.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 9.-The North
ern Pacific eastbound passenger train
which arrived here last night was
robbed by masked men near New Salem,
n. D., Saturday night.

twenty-five miles west of Mandan the
engineer and fireman were surprised by
two masked men climbing over tho

mand was obeyed
Express Messenger Angevine, hear
ing shots fired forward and suspecting
something, hid $500 in money from the
safe, locked the small safe, put out the
lights and ran back to New Salem.
The mail car was first tackled by the
robbers. Only one mail agent was in
the car and he Immediately obeyed
orders by turning over the mail matter,
consisting of forty-seven mail pouches
and seven registered packages. Anum-
Der of registered letters were rifled and
then the two robbers turned their at
tention to the express car. This they
found deserted much to their chagrin,
and installing the fireman for the mes
senger, ordered him at the point of
pistols to open the safe. He protested
that he knew nothing about it and
finally satisfied the robbers.
Then the train backed to New Salem
and finally came east. The express
messenger remained incognito and got
on the train as it left New Salem.
The passengers were not touched.
One put his head out of the window
during the delay, but was told to get his
head back and bullet whizzed past his
head as a reminder that orders had bet
ter be obeyed.

seen at any one time, and suspicious
are rife that only two were engaged in
the work
