Six Saicides.

The Bible gives an account Of six
suicides:
l. Samson, the giant judge of Israel,
for 20 years without spot on his
judicial proceedings, fell in bad
society, was captured by his enemies
and to free himself from disgrace and
the cruel sport of his enemies, killed
himself by his own strength. Judges,
xv, 1-19.
2. Saul, King of Israel, lost the
battle of Gilboa, afterward threw him
self on the point of his sword and
ended his life. Sam. XXI.
3. Saul's armor bearer suicided as
did his master, with no name recorded
in the Bible.
4. Ahitopbel, the most astutc poll
tician of the age in which he lived.
He joined with Absalom in the con.
spiracy against David. His counsel
against David being defeated, and
seeing his own destruction, hanged
himself. II Sam. xvii, %.
5. Zimri murdered Elah, King OF
Israel, and usurped the throne, de:
stroyed the house of Baasha, reigned
seven days and went into the palace
of the Kings house, and burnt it with
himself in it to prevent his capture
by Omri. I Kings, xvi.
6. Judas, the traitor, betrayed his
master and sold him for 80 pieces Of
silver, near SIS of our money. He
brought the money back and cast it
into the temple saying, 81 have sinned
in that 1 have betrayed the innocent
blood repented himself. Mat.
xvii. He had some honest traits
about him. Jesus prayed for worse
men than Judas.

The Terrier and the Indestructlble Rat.

A rat, a terrier, and small boy
caused thousands of people to congre-
gate in West Madison street about 8
o clock last night, and it was not a
real rat, either. The rat, which was
a most natural-looking rubber affair,
was connected with long thin pipe
and bulb. Every time the boy
squeezed the bulb the rat would leap
forward in most lifelike manner and
the ladies in the street would shrek
with terror and gather up their skirts;
This delighted the crowd, which surged
down on the boy and the rat from every
direction.
The fun was kept up for an hour or
more, even the policeman on the beat
stopping now and then for a good
laugh. Suddenly, however, sleek
looking rat terrier sprang through the
crowd and made for his mortal enemy.
Down he pounccd. The boy gave the
bulb a iab and the rat leaped about
six feet. Again the dog made spring.
This time he caught the ratin his teeth
and the pressure caused it to give out
a most life-like squeak, which delighted
the dog and audience alike.
By this time the street was packed.
Time after time the dog would shake
the rat and put it down, only to see
it leap again, to the wild delight of
the crowd. For the first half hour it
was mere play to the plucky little ter
ricr, but after a while things began to
grow monotonous. The dog lay down
for rest and the rat jumped over him:
This was too much for canine flesh and
blood to stand; he leaped up again
and now the contest kept up until the
dog fell to the pavement from sheer
exhaustion. Painting and with eyes
protruding, he made few more inef-
fectual snaps at the rubber rat, then
turned over on his side and laid his
head on the pavement: His owner
worked his way through the crowd, /,
picked up his pet in his arms, uttered
q few remarks, and offered to lick the
man who had killed his dog. The
crowd jeered and dispersed while the
small boy strolled down the street in
search of another ambitious rot terriers

The Pulpit as a Rtf0rmer.

If the pulpit is not reformer, or a
reforming influence, it had better be
abolished. AS matter Of fact the
pulpit is very powerful. yes, and the
most powerful reformer in all modefn
countries, not excepting Russia. The
ten commandments and the sermon on
the mount are the professed code of
morals in our day, and the pulpit,
whatever else besides finds utterance
there, dare not shrink from admitting
and often ezpounding this code. The
pulpit prepares the way for legislation
by appealing to individual conscien::
ces. Legislation is never of any avail
if it 20 beyond the concience OF the
community it processes to control.
It must have moral warrant in the
minds of the people to be in any sense
effective. People, especially in Amer
lea, will not keep law unless they
think it good and just. Many laws
are broken not because they fail in
goodness and justice, but because their
goodness and justice make no appeal
to the consciences of the law breakers.
Now here comes in the work OF the
pulpit. The Christian preacher has
to waken the popular conscience when
ever it happens to slumber. It is the
work of those who succeed st. Peter
and St. Paul to speak until the people
are pricked in their hearts, or until
Felix trembles. 1t does not, how
ever, follow that a preacher is to be
"judge or d divider,' much less d
policeman. He may thunder against
Ananias and sapphira and point out
the bearing Of the eighth command
ment upon the transactions OF the
hour.-1he Churchnlan.

WHEAT WENT UP THE SPOUT
A Big Sensation in st. Louis CONNER
cial Circles
A Peculiar State of Affairs Developed in
Leading Elevator Company's
Business

ST. LOUIS, April IA morning paper
states that at meeting held yesterday,
at which we're present some of tne best
known grain merchants of St. Louis
formerly assoc lated together under the
commercial title of Merchants Elevator
Company, which went out of business in
1890, to be succeeded by the st. Louis
United Elevator Company, measures were
enacted which promise to unfold one of
the profoundest business sensations ever
known in st. Louis. The paper SAYS:
The st. Louis United Elevator Company
was founded by Captain d. Slattery in
1888, the Captain having associated with
him j. Nj. Thompson, +. G. Thompon,
|. NJ. Harris, d. Block, r. II. Kern, W.
I. Anderson, Judge d. II. Laughlin and
others. Captain Slattery was president
and general manager, having majority
of stock at the time it was sold to the
trust. Captain Slattery and members of
his family held 1477 OF the 1850 shares
Only partial settlement was made with
the stockholders at the time.
1t is said that all subsequent efforts to
effect a settlement of affairs have been
futile. Late consultation resulted in the
appointment OF committee consisting
OF II. Block, Henry d. Laughlin Robert
Hight, II. Keen and W. T. Anderson to
bring about settlement. The committee
was instructed to place the matter in the
courts for adjudication. W. I. Ander-
son. one OF those interested, said; The
strangest feature is we cannot account
for about $50, 900 or $40 600 worth Of
wheat that was in the elevator. Slattery
was president and in full control. | can
not see how the grain got away without
some one knowing it. We had $1O0 900 of
bonds on the elevator, which we never
ordered him to sell, but they are not ac-
counted for. -
Captain Slattery, before leaving for
Chicago to attend an important business
meeting, said:
This is simply an annoyance to draw
off my attention from matters which
threaten the well being and integrity of
large interests of Judge Henly ID. Laugh
lin in Chicago. The interests I refer to
are those of the American Brakebeam
Company and the Chicago Railway Ex-
pertinent Company, in the former of
which | also represent large holding of
shares.
LAS regards the Merchants Elevator
Company, there is and can be no misun-
derstanding at all, except in the imagi-
nation of Judge Mclaughlin. | owned
for myself and family 90 per cent of the
Merchants stock and as lar as any single
act of my administration is concerned
would gladly that the whole world knew
of it. Rigid investigation is all | ask.
Notwithstanding the loss of $50. 600 worth
of grain, the disappearance of which | am
unable to account for. we returned our
shareholders no less than 115 per cent on
their three years investment of $175. 900,
thus 1922, 900 stock OF st. Louis Elevator

THROATS CUT WITH A RAZOR
An Elder Daughter Left With the
Murdered Children
Statement Of the 1other TO Why She
Committed the Deed-The Woman and
Her Husband Arrested

COLUMBUS. o.. April Last Satur-
day Mrs. W. II. b. Williams, wife of a
real estate man residing at Grove City, a
village about eight miles southeast of
Columbus, arrived in the city with her
three children, Anna, aged IA; Maud,
aged II, and Harry, aged land registered
at the Park hotel. This morning about
O'Clock Mrs. William left the hotel.
. About 3 p. nj. a chambermaid who
went to the room found two of the child
rem, Maud and Harry, dead in bed with
their throats cut. There was bloody
razor on the foot of the bed. The boy had
died without a struggle, but there were
evidences that the girl had made fierce
fight with her inhuman mother.
Anna said that %hen her mother went
away she cautioned her not to go near
the bed and to say nothing to anyone
about her absence.
Mrs. Williams arrived this afternoon
and would not permit her daughter to
talk. Later Williams, his wife and daugh-
ter were locked up at the police station
pending an Investigation. Mrs. Williams
showed no evidence OF insanity, and told
the story Of the horrible crime in a calm
voice. She said she had made up her
mind last week to kill herself and her
purpose. She secured some opium and
all three took the drug Saturday night.
1t took effect only on the little girl Maud.
She then determined to secure a razor,
and waited until this morning. She first
cut the boys wrist. expecting him to
bleed to death. He awakened, however,
and then she cut his throat.
The body of Maud was not touched by
the razor. Mrs. Williams says she then
asked Anna to let her cut her wrist, but
the child begged SO piteously she lost
courage and left the hotel, intending to
drown herself. She said it then occurred
to her that Anna might be accused of the
crime, and she changed her mind and
went to the house of friend, Mrs. John
c. Lester, in another part of the town,
where she was found this evening.
Anna was a witness of the murder of
her little brother. She says when her
mother was away from the hotel the lat
ter cautioned her not to leave the room
for fifteen or twenty minutes. Anna
waited and then went to her fathers
office in this ely and delivered the note
which her mother had given her for her
father. She also told her father, according
to her mothers request that the two
children were dead, and he hastily re-
turned with her to the hotel.

ARRESTED FOR ARSON
Sequel to the Catholic Church Row in
Omaha

OMAHA, April Father Karminski
and twelve members of st. Paul's Cath
olic church were arrested tonight, charged
with burning that church building last
week. The first warrant was served on
Priest Karminski. At the time of the ar.
rest he was in his room at the hotel, He
made no objection to going to Jail. II
is alleged that there is large mum Der OF
witnesses who will swear that the fire was
first seen by them in the upper part OF
the building, and that the lower part was
entirely free from fire. This is considered
a strong point, showing that the fire was
started by men who were in the building,
All the arrested men are those known
to have been in the building on watch on
the night the church was burned.
