Certain modern crazes fall far below in
what may ba called the poetry of deluslon-
the dignity of hallucination-though one, at
least, has an aura of nobleness, which, in
some instances, redeems it from rank mis-
chief. We mean the modern craze for mis-
sionary work in unlikely and unsympathetic
countries, where the lives of the mission
aries are inSdRnger, where the converts they
make are, 5dr the most part, unredeemed
scoundrels, aud where the civilization of the
people Is oltfSr and more compact than our
own, better ,suhed to the needs of the people.
and of the kind wherein morality, customs
and relgioaI. are all closely and mex
trlcably intertwiped as the fibres of a plant
Separate them and you destroy the whole
structure. But this argument has no effect
on those whOss craze it is to carry the bible
into the far east and so turn bad Buddhsta
into worse Christians. Nor does 1t give
them pause that by their rash action-self-
sacrificing If you WILL but none the less i'm
pertinent and me1desOme-they may create
a war among the nations wherein thousands
on thousands will be sacrificed. The mis-
sOnary craze has no respect for utlmates
beyond that doubtful gain OF inducing a
Chinaman to repeat the Apostles creed in
stead Of chin-chnnlng Joss-of substituting
for the Brahmin's belief in the genesis of
man from the body Of tho god, the story OF
the clay figure and tho distracted rib. For
all the misery and murder that may follow
his tampering with established faiths-for all
the unsatisfactory nature of the conversions
he may make-he goes on in the old path
and shuts his eyes to the evil he so dill
gently effects. He is impelled by the craze
of interference, and reason is as a dumb dog
while he careers over the ground mounted on
the hippogriff OF an impracticable and mis-
chievous enthusiasm.

One condition should be insisted on by
western congressman, no matter what
plan of Pacific railroad debt settlement
may find favor in Washington. The
Union Pacific and Central Pacific should
be united under one management and
conducted for the mutual benefit of both
roads and their patrons. The intention
of congress when 1t voted to subsidize
the Pacific roads was to aid In the con
struction of one through trunk line. The
fulfllment of this original promise of
congress should not be eyaded.

Applicants for liquor licenses are re-
minded of the fact that the law requires
them to publish the notices of applica-
ton in the newspaper having the larg-
est circulation in the county. No one
has the right to determine for them in
advance which newspaper is, by law,
entitled to this advertisement, nor will
the fact that they have acted accord
ing to alleged orders of the police board
excuse them for failure to comply with
the law. There is only one way to
comply with the law, and that is to ad-
vertise the notice of application in The
Omaha Evening Bee, which is the news
paper of largest circulation in Doug

Her Conduct Makes Her Husband q Muir
derer and u Fugitive.
SIDNEY, O., April ga terrible
tragedy occurred in the Ja,l here Fri
day morning, and John Perkpile is
now hunted wife-slayer, while the
body of his victim lies in the morgue
awaiting burial unattended by
the affectionate demonstration due
from husband to an honored
wife. The Perkpiles were young
married people and enjoyed the best
Of regulations. The husband is sue
cessful young business man and the
wife was woman of rare beauty.
Their little home was costly appointed,
and it was supposed that fidelity and
love reigned supreme within it.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Perkpile left home
ON business errand and Thursday
night he was the Mortified recipient
Of a telegram announcing that his wife
had been arrested and was locked up in
Jail awaiting his assistance Hasten
ing back to Sidney, where he arrived at
9 o'clock Friday morning, Mr.. Perkpile
was crushed to learn the cause of his
wife's arrest. On Thursday night the
police made raid on a disreputa BILE
house, captur ing number of men and
pile. She had gone to the house in
company with a lover and the arrest
made exposure inevitable. When told
of his wife's infidelity Perkpile closed
his jaws firmly together and started
for the Jail. When he arrived there he
asked for an interview with his erring
wife, and was conducted to her cell.
AS he approached it his wife caught
sight of him and began to weep hys-
terically.
"Oh, John! T." began the poor WON
an as her husband came to 3 standstill
before the grated cell door,
A flash and the loud report of A
caliber revolver cut short her ex-
clamation. A woman's scream, the
heavy fall of her dead body on the
stone floor, the amazement of
the officers, the hasty fight of
Perkpile ended the episode so far as
activity was concerned. No one saw
the murderer escape. No one noticed
in what direction he went and his es-
cape was completely effected. I'm
,nediately several posses were or
gained and began to hunt
for the wife-killer but up to
midnight no trace of him had been Sc
cured. Perkpile's bullet entered
squarely into the center of his wife's
heart and she was dead before her
body struck the floor.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

Co. only, whose name is printed on every

TACOMA, Wash, April 90. The ex-

Paul Schulze, late general land agent

Tacoma, committed suicide a few days

Disappointment in love is supposed
