Drechsler's music store by George Pc
tcrs. about twcntythrce years of age,
who had previously been an employee in
the Messenger office.
Peters spoke few words and Il mo-
ment later pulled a large .S-calihcr rc-
vOlver from his pocket, lrvcIed Ii at Mr..
left eye. Mr.. Seward called for help and
fell into the store, and as he fell the
assassin fired two more shots in rapid
succession. one of them entering the back
of Mr.. Stewards head. Peters then
coolly replaced his revolver in his hip
pocket and walked UP the street, Saying
as he passed along that he had killed Mr..
Seward and was glad of it. lie was
promptly apprehended by clerk in a
clothing store near by and an employc
in Joseph VOLTS liquor store. The as
sassin was turned over to Deputy Sheriff
Anderson and Officer Costello, and was
marched to the intersection of Main and
Chestnut streets with jcers of the excited
crowd, who cried out: Lynch him.
Hang him to the nearest post" and 9TH
er equally violent remarks. The patrol

to the county jail, and securely locked up
in one of the cells. On the way to the
Jail Peters said that he came to the city
to-day intending to kill Seward, hut that
lie was sorry lie had made such pool
job Of it, and only hoped that he would
die.
Peters is partially dementcd. He was
employed by Mr. Seward three years ago
to do reportorinl work. lie made very
little progress, however, and after put,
ting up with him as long as possible he
was discharged. This so angcred Peters
that he swore vengeance and even
threatened to kill every one in Mr.

parents about three miles south of the
city, and has for IL number of years

In connection with the public schools re-
ceivct vigorous scoring at the hands Of
the Methodist ministers in session at the
Rock river conference. which includes Chi
cago. The subject came up in the form of
report from the committee on education
which was adopted as follows:
The American public schools are in dam
ger. The danger is occasioned by the very
thing which Washington said would not be
tolerated-foreign interference. Against this
interference we emphaticaliy protest. Firm
ly believing that the pope and the bishops

the Roman policy in Am"ricp should be put
In quarantine. Compulsory education is n
civil necessity in this country. We must
protect ourselves from the tide Of ignorance
and prejudice rolling in upon us from Ro-
man Catholic Europe or perish in the threat
ening devastation. Wherever the Latin
church fourishes, her people are criminally
kept in ignorance. and the state is wickedy
denied its independence. She says: "If the
pope demands it, the authority Of the state
must be hraved. human affections must be
disregurded. life must be sacrificed" Where

the public school system. we. as church,
stand opposed TO any cncrOachment from
any quarter that would lessen the influence
or diminish the vigor Of this most essential
factor in our national well being
