LYNCHED FATHER AND SON.
They Had Incl ted Younger Son to
Murder a Son-in-Law.

Murder a Son-in- Law.
One of the most determined mobs that
ever congresated In Kansas lynched, ut
Sharon Springs, William Mckinley and his
son, Lewis, for the murder OF Charles Carley.
Carley was the son-in-law of William Nc
Kinley. Investigation revealed the fact that
Fred, n seventeen -year-old son OF William
Mckinley, committed the crime. The boy,
when arrested, made o confession, stating
that he had been induced to kill his brother
in-law by his father and his older brother,
Lewis.
The motive for the murder seems to havo
been revenge. The murdered man had only
q few weeks before married Mcktnley's
daughter. It had been stipulated before the
marriage that the bridegroom was to pay the
brides father 1920 for the privilege OF marry
ing her. He refused to pay this money after
he was safely married, and thus incurred the
enmity OF his wife's father and brothers. The
boy surprised Carley while asleep, cutting
him to death with gar1en hoe. he was
found horribly mutilated.
The three were arraignei in court, where
Fred pleaded guilty us charged, but his
father and Lewis pleaded not guilty, waived
trial and were placed in the county jail.
Late that night mob OF several hundred
took tho father and son to q bridge about
half mile west ottown and lynched them.
They both begged piteously for mercy.
The people Of the county were aroused ut
tho disposition iuries had shown to turn
criminals loose and said they intended that
justice should be done In some manner, II
not by the proper course OF Law.

CHILDREN ATTENDING CHURCH.

Rev. DR.. Strong. in the New Era, speaking
of regular attendance at church, says, Ideas
Of duty are not strict now as formerly, and
men therefore more readily yield to inelina-
ton. The present generation Of young peo-
ple have had training very different from
that which their grandparents or even their
parents received. In most families the rod,
like Aarons rod, has budded and brought
forth almonds and sugar plums OF all sorts
Children are hired and coaxed instead OF
being commanded and required, ana accord
inoIv CROW ND to consult inclination rather
than obligation. Attending church IS not
now commonly considered sacred duty.

variety Of reasons most people do not feel
like it.

IN TOO BUSY.

A merchant sat at his office desk: various
1etters were spread before him; his whole
being was absorbed in the intricacies OF MS
business.
A Jealous friend of man had entered the
Office. II want to interest you little IN q

the man.

"Is it? I'm sorry; but I'm too busy at pres

"When shall call again, sirT'

The merchant had frequently repulsed the

able stranger stepped very softly to MS sloe,
LAYING a cold, moist hand upon his brow, and
saving. "Go home with me"
The merchant laid dewn his pen; his head
grew dizzy; his stomach felt faint and SICK;
he left the counting room, went nome ana re-
tired to his bed chamber.
His unwelcome visitor followed him, and
now took his place by the bedside, Whisper,

pulse beat slower, his heart heayed heavily,

the excuse was powerless; he was compelled
