A MIL Man Beaten and Robbed.

A man who gave his name as John
Burns was held up out CaldwelPs run.
Yesterday evening, and was badly
beaten, and a sum of money was taken
from his person.
About o'clock last evening a mes
sepger from that locality came hurried
ly to the office Of DR.. j. r. ManleY, on
South Chapline street. The messenger
had been sent for a doctor In great
hurry, saying a man had been badly
hurt about two miles out the run. 1t
was but few minutes until the doctor
and REGISTER reporter, who was near
by, were on the way TO the scene in q
buggy.
The injured man was found at the
house of Isaac Sheets. After an exam
nation the doctor found that be was
seriously injured. His injuries were a
long deep cut on the back of the head,
which had evidently been made with
some blunt instrument, his face was
painfully beaten, and there was an ugly
bruise on his side. The injuries we're
carefully dressed, and it was found that
the skull had not been fractured, as
was at first supposed.
The injured man had come into that
locality yesterday evening. He went
to one Of the neighbors' houses, and
asked for work, saying his name was
John Burns, and that be was from
Pittsburg, being an idle mill man. DE
showed every mark Of being an honest
mill man, and was respectfully dressed.
At this house he could not secure work,
and started on his way, carrying . bun
die.
About o'clock in the evening, when
Mr.. Sheets was walking down the road,
bordered BY hollow, he saw two men,
whom he did not know. running from
the place. Thinking something was
wrong. be Investigated, and found
Burns unconscious. The injured man
was taken to the residence OF Mr..
Sheets, and one of the hired hands was
sent at once for the doctor.
Before the doctor and the reporter
left the man he had regained conscious
ness and was able to talk little. He
said he had come as far as Elm Grove
Saturday on a freight, and was out OF
money and took to the country In the
hopL of finding work. he said the first
he knew OF the assault was that two
men sprang at him, lone Of them hit him,
nda he remembered no more He said he
was robbed of about So.
The doctor gave 1t as bis 6pal opinion
that the man would not be laid up long
as the result OF his beating.
Persons in that locality say that they
have noticed persons of late, OF sus-
picious looks, prowling about In the
neighborhood.

ing in the River.

There was q bad accident yesterday
afternoon. about 4 o'clock, on the South
Side. The physicians says that IL will
terminate fatally. Howard Shields,
aged five years, the bright little son OF
William Shields. OF No. 1ls Thirty-6rst
street, was the victim.
The little fellow was playing In an al
ley, near the kitchen door CT his home.
While playing there, one Of the large
hefses owned by the La Belle iron
works, came dashing through the alley.
The boy was knocked down, where
he lay until he was discovered by his
mother. He was carried to his home,
and Drs. Stathers and Armbrecht were
soon at his bedside. The boy had bad
cash on his head, and was bleeding
from the ears and nose. Besides these
Injuries, the doctors pronounced that
he had suffered conclusion OF the brain.
his jaw had also been broken.
At $50 O'Clock last night the boy was
still living, but the doctors at his bed
side were looking for death to relieve
him of his suffering at any moment. At
this time he had partially regained
consciousness.
The injured boy is the son Of William
D. Shields. the we'll known LaBelle iron
worker. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy Of all who know them.

EVIL READING

should be avoided by every young per-
son. 1t exerts powerful influence for
the bad.
Bad men and bad women are more
dangerous in printers ink than in
broadcloth. Our budget of crimes from
all over the land, which comes to us in
the daily newspapers, is certainly I'M
heathful and unwhoesome, in a
moral sense. That yellow covered
story of the blood and
thunder variety, and the French novel,
are disseminating their evil influences
everywhere. The habit Of reading
books should not be condemned, but
there is need for the exercise OF judg-
ment ia the selection of books. Some
of the best historical works are novels,
so far as form is concerned. In the
mod ern novel, the hero is too often &
travisty on morality. Taste not, touch
not, this corruption.
The last snare to be avoided by young
men is irreligiousness-the ridicule Of
religion, making light Of serious mat
tiers. The infdelity Of our times is a
type distinctively its own. The phase
OF to-day is neither scientific or philo-
sophie, it is irreverence Of God.
DR.. Buckley referred TO an article in
the April Forum. from a Moslem, who
writes that In his country when a man
goes into church, nothing is said. but
il he enters a saloon, 1t is Immediately
said that he has become Christian, be-
cause the introduction Of the rum traffic
dates from the introduction OF mission
aries into the country.
In concluding DR.. Buckley asked the
young men what king they were serv-
ing-the God OF Heaven, or the Prince
OF DarknessP He made an eloquent APP
peal to them to avoid all the snares
which he pointed out in bis discourse.

bridge, had a narrow escape from death
by drowning yesterday afternoon. She
lives with her parents in the round"

bridge.
About Eve o'clock she left the house
and walked down to the shore Of the
river near the west pier OF the bridge.
She was playing on the shore, and
stepped upon one Of the large rocks ~
Ing there. Her weight caused the rock
to turn over, throwing her into the
water, which is several feet deep at
that point. she had sufficient presence
OF mind to cling to the rock with her
hands until assistance came. Officer
Stump heard her cries and ran down
the bank.
The little girl was almost exhausted,
and was sinking the second time when
the officer rescued her. She was badly
frightened, but not seriously injured,
and will be all right within few days

SINFUL AMUSEMENT.

When once we become committed to
amusements, the quality becomes second
airy. Many persons say, will 60 no fur
Their than this first class attraction. BY
the force Of that peculiar mechanism OF
the human heart, the schooling tends
downward, and the quality soon becomes
second aSd third class. Once in love
with this kind of amusement, God and
the church are almost p9werless, and
the mother vainly cries out In the mid
night hour-"Where is my erring boy
tonight"
Another snare is gambling, which
reaches out in so many ways. Gam
bling is dishonesty. 1t is dishonest TO
get large gains without giving the
equivalent OF value. A young man
works in an Office, and the first step
perhaps is the policy form OF gam
bling. Step by step he sinks deeper into
the vice, until he finally becomes an en-
bezzler, then fugitive from justice or
a convict. The authorities showed the
commendable spirit in stopping that
more recent form of gambling, known
as the slot machine, in which the young
man drops 4 nickel in the hope Of secur-
ing a large return for his risk.

to himself, TO his God, and to those
about him, for his character. Men are
not always measured by their confess
sions and professions. Example Yields
a force more potent than words. II

Quence to lead US to accept its teach
ings, and to lead exemplary lives, we
are saying to those about US, do as |
do" we are proclaiming by our exam
pie that we are trapped iuto feeling

forget our possibility to man.
The second snare is indulgence
bondage TO physical appetite. How
many man is to-day In the meshes OF
this snare? How many person has
been deliberately debating with him

have kept him free from the bondage OF
sin. The saloon is spare which is open
always, where blasphemy and obscenity
are common, where it is manly to deSpise
home and to ridicule religion. When
men enter these places, it is the skull

SERMON TO YOUNGMEN
REV. DR. Buckley breaches AN INTEREST
ING SERMON UPON "SNARES"
At the Thompson n. E. Church on the Island.
Arrangements for the Reception
Of Bishop DOnahus.

Rev. DR.. Buckley, pastor Of the Thom-
son NJ. E. Church. on the Island, de-
livered a thoughtful sermon to young
men last evening, upon the subject
"Snares." There was not a vacant seat
in the church, and many occupied chairs
in the rear. An interesting feature OF
the services was the vocal solo "Can
Boy Forget His Mother" which was ef-
fectively sung by Rev. Buckley and
which was peculiarly appropriate.
DR.. Buckley selected his text from
Job, IS: K: THE snare is laid for him
in the crown, and trap for him In the
way, and he walketh upen snare.
The speaker said there were snares In
everybody's life, and every young man
will encounter hindrances to his lead
ing a pure life. He enumerated the
snares in the pathway OF every young
man.
The first was irresponsibility-indif-
ference to personal responsibility and
obligation. The greatest danger which
can beset any young man is the feeling
that he
