In the case of Sam Roby, on trial in
the circuit court at Portage last week,
charged with the larceny of check
for $4,000 drawn in favor of Mrs. L. S.
Rice, of Oak Grove, last summer, the
jury disagreed and new trial was or
dered for the May term. The check
in question was one which Roby had
cashed at the Merchants bank, in this
city, and on which the original en-
dorsement was alleged to have been
forged. Following Roby's arrest, the
bank was reimbursed IN full for the
money paid out. Charles Frey, assist
ant cashier of the bank, gave testimony
at the trial last week. The case was
brought to Columbia county on
change of venue from Dodge.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

of Flames.

Two Workmen Enveloped in Sheet
of Flames.
A peculiar accident happened last
Wednesday afternoon at the plant of
the A. Fuermann Brewing company.
Two workmen, Albert Behnke, of 1913
North Second street, and Fred Fleuter,
of 319 North Warren street, were en-
gagged in pitching" barrels-that is,
coating them with hot melted pitch.
They were on the inside of large cask,
when in some unaccountable manner
the pitch was ignited, enveloping the
men in flames. For few moments
death by fire stared Fleuter and Behnke
IL the face, butthey luckily made their
escape from the barrel before they
were seriously burned. Their hands
and faces, however, were quite painful
ly affected. DR.. Field attended the in
jured men and they are getting along
nicely.

MANS PART.

"Ifs" In the Promises and Assurances Of
Our Heavenly Father.
The great question of this life is not
what God is, but what man is. The
question l would bring home to you is
not whether God is love, but are you?
Are you in such relations with God that
He can speak of love to you? We have
settled into the conviction that God
must fulfill all the promises He has
made us, and that it makes no great
difference what we are or what we do.
| tell you, my friends, that is wrong.
The question of eternity turns upon
man himself, in just what manner he
is giving himself to God. It is absurd.

tain his reliance upon God. "A man may

Where is faith? Why, that is not

ways means that something rests upon
our shoulders. We can not sit down
with idle hands and leave it all to
Him. God has said: IF man love
Me will live with him." There is a
condition. We must love Him before
He will come to our fireside; before He
will live in our families. The most
serious words God ever spoke were
when He stopped and said: This is
all I can do. What can you do?'' Christ
comes to the door and knocks-'if any
now hear my voice and open the door
will come in and sup with him, and he
with me-" He comes to the door and
knocks. There He stops. Then the
burden rests on our shoulders. We are
to open. We are to do some of this
work. That is what He has laid upon
us. How has it come to pass that the
impression has gone abroad that He is
going to batter in our doors and enter
of Himself? Eternities shall come and
GO before He breaks in at our doors.
Christ stands still, and in so doing He
honors the manliness of those before
