THEY STOLE THE TRUNK.


WAPAKONETA, o., Dec. 2S.-Several
days ago, while the family were absent,
the residence of Robert Houchin a
wealthy farmer living near Lakeyiew, q
village about twenty miles southeast of
here, was entered by thieves. Nothing
was missed from the house at the time,
and it was supposed that the miscrear $
had been unsuccessful in their search
for plunders
Fridaya trunk which had been broken
open and ransacked was found about a
mile north Of the village. Upon investi-
cation 1t was ascertained that the trunk
was the property of Houchin, and that
it was one in which he had deposited
$500, and placed it under his bed for
safe-keeping. This money the thieves
secured. George Jarvis and Charles
White, two well known young men of
the place, who had aroused suspicion by
their free use Of money, We're arrested
and lodged in Jail charged with being
the guilty parties.

WHOLE FAMILY CREMATED.
Suspicion That They Were Murdered and
Their Bodies Burned.


GoLDsBoRo, N. G., Dec 2S.-Thurs-
day night the country residence of Colo
mel William Pearsall, prosperousfarmer
who lived six miles from here, was
burned to the ground. The neighbors
discovered when they reached the burn
ing building that all the lower doors and
windows were closed Screams for help
were heard from the second story, and
the figure of Colonel Pearsall, nearly
obscured by smoke and flame, was seen
but for moment. The roof fell in and
his cries were forever hushed.
The next morning the ruins of the
building were searched and a ghastly
discovery was made. In the debris were
found the charred skeletons of Pearsall,
his wife and two children. The general
belief here is that the house was set on
fire by some enemy of Pearsall, who
was known to have in his house a con
siderable sum of money, and il is be-
lieved that he and his family were mur-
dered and that the murderer, in order
to conceal his crime, set fire to the
house. Several Of Pearsall's tenants are
missing

VIENNA, Dec. 29-A communication
from Warsaw says that an official order
has been issued closing all the Catholic
churches at Vodislav and Buzki, and
that other towns will receive the same
orders very soon. This action is said 10
be taken in obidence to direct orders
from the czar, who is more than ever do
termined to stamp out all creeds not i'll
accord with the orthodox church. A de-
cree was issued some time ago ordering
that no repairs be allowed on Catholic
churches and that such churches must
be closed if found in a dangerous condi-
ton. 1t is believed that such is the au-
thority under which the closing of the
churches has been decreed.

THEY LOVE THE SOLDIER.

In view Of the deep solicitude of
the politicians for the character Of the
money which shall be paid to the old
soldiers for pensions, the following
from the Cleveland PlGSMde0Ier deals
plainly with historic facts:
The interested parties backing mckinley were
not always 80 SolicltOus over honest money for
the soldiers sake as they try to appear at pres
ent. II must not be forgotten that the soldiers
services were rewarded In money that the greed
Of these same gold baronS had forced down to a
value Of only 1915 cents on the dollar. The brave
fellows took 1t uncOmplalningly; the issue with
them was not certain sum Of money for each
days work, but the perpetulty Of the republic.
They took IL gladly and thanked God that the
government In It's dire distress could pay even
that. But the issues recognized by capital then
were the same sort as those which John Sher-
man says are before the public to-day" -"strictly
questions Of business" John need not have
gone to the trouble Of making this statement. IL
Is well known that the only Issues known TO the
capltallStic class are ''bnslnesS lSSnes," or In
other words measures to AL their pockets with
money stained by the sweat Of other men. Be-
fore the vast possibilities OF the system Of CAPT.
tallstic cOnHscallOn. sanctioned by statue and
called protective tariff were c0mprehended,
other 'buSlness issues" occupied their attention.
One Of their questions Of business" was to take
advantage Of the governments distress In with
holding from Its notes their credit until the SOL
der found that the paper he received and sent
home to keep the gaunt wolf from the loved wife
and children was worth only third OF It's face
value. When the war was ended and the gov
ernment secure, these gentlemen Of the busl-
ness Issues exchanged this currency they had
discredlted and purchased for song for gold or
bonds as good, and their agents controlling the
government soon afteS made these bonds bear
interest. This illustrates that when 1t comes to
'businesg issues" the Shermans and McKinleyS
are protected for all there is In 1t. But 1t is with
exceeding bad grace, to say the least, that this
same class now sets on the stump It's little tin
god with photographic attachment to tell the
veterans that capital Is weeping tears Of blood
