came up with him, nor did they hear
any shot, but they heard Howfe call
to them as he came back over the hill
and ran to him. Rembert says that
HOWE told him the negro WAS shot,

the shooting are only known TO HOWE
and the negro who was shot, and the
Negroes story has not been given.
Constable Howie and Davis took
their buggy and brought tho negro
within a mile and o half of the city,

Health and Physical Beauty,

He~althfulness and physical beauty
are nor nearly synonymous than we
are accustomed to think. The ancient
Greeks stroye to attain physical per-
fection-beauty of figure and Of
face-by means of exercises, baths,
and every means known to them of
stimulating the bodily functions to
a high degree of health. They were
intense admirers of physical beauty,
and appreciated the fact that health
is n of its prime conditions. The
modern science of hygiene teaches
that the observance of certain laws
is necessary for the evolution of the
growing boy and girl into the
healthy man and woman. Promi-
nent among these laws is that of
personal cleanliness. TO obtain and
to retain a healthful and active con-
dition of the skin, frequent bathing
is necessary, followed by active fric-
ton with brush or towel. 1t should
be remembered that the skin is an
%excretory organ that material
which has been expelled through it
collects upon its surface, and must
be removed.
The skin also secretes an oily
matter which keeps it moist, fexi-
BILE, and healthy. This,is partially
removed by bathing, and the health
full secretion is again stimulated by
active rubbing. 10 attain u good
development of the muscles, physical
exercise must be taken. The grow.
ing boy and girl should have a fixed
time for exercise, either at home OF
at school, as we'll as for study, fol-
eating, and for sleep. The athletic
trainer tells his pupils that temper
ance in all things is necessary fol
even a fair degree of physical devel
opment he insists upon regularit,
in exercising, eating and sleeping

THESES ON LUTHERANISM.
Prof. Stoeckhardt's Ideas as to the
Great Reformer's Ideas.

Yesterday mornings session of the Luz
theran Synod was devoted to doctrinaI dis
cussions on the topic: "Our Synod Is Truly
Evangelical Lutheran Community for 1t
Derives All Its Doctrines from the Clear
Word of Holy Writ" Prof. G. Stoeckhardt,
of Concordia Seminary, ST. Louis has pre-
pared a number of theses on this topic, the
first four being discussed at the Synod
last convention, held at Cleveland. in Au-
gust of last year. The fifth thesis, as. dis
eussed yesterday. as follows:
1--WE teach and confess, in strict accord
ance with the Bible, that the Christian
church is simply the communion of be-
levers; that hypocrites and goddess people
are not members of the true church and
that wherever the word of God is preached
and his SacramentS are administered al
Christ ordained. there is true church.
Professor Stoecknardt, having refuted the
doctrines of modern Lutheranism concern
ing the church, proceeded to prove that the
fifth thesis was correct statement of what
Luther taught in the work of reforma ton.
The discussion of the fifth thesis engaged
the attention of the synod all morning.
The afternoon the Synod devoted to bust
ness affairs The following appropriations
were made to congregations for the coming
year Ashland. KY, 5000; Gilmore, o. and
Toledo, o. $40; Whiting Ind. $40; Kouts,
