to the effect that the German American
clergymen's society of this city, was the
author of the so-called Lucerne petition to
Pope Leo NH in reference to the emf

Il hereby formally and officially declare,
in the name of the Deutscher-A American

in American papers, much less ever having
occasioned its origin

KANSAS CITY, No. June 3.-George
Schweinfurth. the Rockford Glls) claim
ant to divinity is still in the city. He says he
is not afraid of violence from the vigilance
committee which threatened to tar and
feather him unless he left the city within
twenty four hours. 1t was his intention,
he said, to leave today. but now that
threats have been made against him he
says he will stay as long as he pleases.
The executive committee of the vigilance
committee which gave warning to Schwe-
infurth, who has been visiting here for the
past few days, to leave town within
twenty-four hours or submit to the humil-
alton of being tarred and weathered, at
tempted tonight to carry out the will of
the full committee. One of their number,
early this morning. went to the house OF
Mrs Ward, at 1922 East Fourteenth street,
where Schwenfurth is stopping and as
certained that the claimant to divinity"
had not obeyed the order TO leave. de re-
ported the fact to the committee and steps
were Immediately taken to carry out the
threat The full committee, consisting of
thirty men, was called together and each
was instructed to secure the assistance Of
ten other men.
The plan was to meet tonight 300 strong,
storm Schweinfurth's abode, secure the
alleged Christ" and tar and feather
him. Ten o'clock tonight was the hour
set for the meeting of the committee. At
that hour a crowd of hoodlums, which
had gathered together in front of the
house were still there, scoffing and jeeriug
at Schweinfurth. When the hoodlums
saw the approach of the 300 men they
OWNED the latter's object and immedi-
ately prepared to take part in the contem-
plated humiliation of Schweinfurth. They
threw rocks and mud at the honse, which
attracted the attention of the inmates.
One of them, Allan Ford, suspecting that
the committee was about to carry out its
threat, made break through the crowd
and ran to the nearest telephone where he
called for police protection. A patrol
wagon full of officers was sent to the
scene. At its approach the mob quickly
disappeared No arrests were made.

AN

The following from the Press and Da-
kotian is worthy OF perusal:
"'The smoke of the BATTLE having
cleared away to a great extent, it is
plain to be seen that South Dakota's
new senator is an independent. He pro-
poses to vote with the republicans when
Il republican measure meets his views;
with the democrats on like occasions,
with tine independents always; ana al
way, iur the best interests OF South
alota. He is IL man OF excellent char
;tcrer, Thoroughly educated, and indie
IatlSable worker, not Il politician i'll the
ordinary sense, and an ardent friend Of
the working men, the farmers and the
old soldiers. The Press and Dakotian
believes that there is no occasion Tor rr-
greet in the selection OF Mr.. Kyle since
the republicans were determined that
by their united action Senator Moody
should not succeed. Senator Kyle will
represent every interest in the state,
and what ever his constituents can do
to strengthen his hands should be done
c%heerfully, especially as he has declared
himself to be the representative OF all
parties, with allegiance particularly to
the farmers. And whoever helps the
farmers contributes to the prosperity
OF every interest in the state"

ID BOYS!

The saloon must have boys or it must
shut up shop. Can't you furnish it one?
1t is a great factory, and unless it can
get 100000 boys from each genera
ton for raw material some of these fac
tories must close up, and the operatives
must be thrown on q cold world, and
the public revenue will dwindle. "Wantcd
OO0, 900 boys" is the notice. One
familyout OF every five must contribute
a boy to keep the supply. Will you
help? Which OF your boys will it be?
The minotaur of Crete had to have 81
trireme full Of fair maidens each year.,
but the minotaur OF America demands
IL city full OF boys each year. Arc you
Il father!
Have you given your share to keep
up the supply for this great public insti-
tuition that is helping to pay voul
takes AMI kindly elects public officials
for YOU? Have YOU contributed Il boy?
Ii not, some other family has had to
give more than it's share. Are you self.

grind up boys and then do nothing tc

Judge Edgerton's Charge.


Judge Edgerton in his charge to the
United States grand jury, seid: "It is
not a part OF the duty OF the grand jury
to legislate or determine whether GER
tain laws are wise or unwise, nor is 1T
part OF their duty to exercise mercy.
u x
II there are any grand jurors who
have conscientious scruples about in
dieting a man who has sold Intoxicating
liquors to Indians, that nan ought to
be excused from the grand Jury.
u
1t IS reported all over this district
that no man can be indicted in this part
OF the districtfo for this class Of offense.
II / should become satisfied that this
was true,I would withdraw all this class
of cases from the jury here, to be pre-
sented in other parts OF the district"
It is reported that after listening to
the charge, Thomas Douglass asked to
be excused. Hurrah for Tom, he showed
himself a man.
