Pearls of Wisdom,

As the next thing to having wisdom

the next thing to having merits ourselves
is to takc care that the merltorious profit

mukss himself one of the number.
The man who gives his life for a princi-
pie has done moro for his kind than he
who discovers new metal or names n
Ue W gus; for the great motors of the raos
are m oral, not intellectual and their force
lies ready to the use OF the poorest and

There are few characteristics more val .
uabls than that which gives q reputation

COLLAPSE OF A TOWER.
Two Killed and Several Injured Mt I'LL
nois state Fair Grounds.

SPRINGFrELD, Ills, Sept. Sat the state
fair grounds the west tower ON the great
machinery hall, which is now being rooted,
collapsed and fell in, burying several men
beneath its ruins. Charles Hobson, of
Lincoln, Mob, and James Parke, of this
city, both plumbers, who were at work on
the ground floor, were killed, being Gov.
cred with several tons of brick and mortar.
The seriously injured are; Fred Bord, "
carpenter, badly crushed; N Williamson,
a carpenter, both ankles broken; Samuel
Davenport, Of Chicago, boss carpenter,
badly injured about the back by falling
debris; John Gcthard, a carpenter, largo
cash cut in his head, will probably recover;
Charles Brownell, u water carrier, both
legs and both arms brokcn, badly burned
by mortar and fearfully laccrated, will
die.
Neither building nor tower was braced,
but whether this caused the accident
Is not known. 1t Is the general opinion
that the hard rain of Tuesday night
loosened the mortar, which had no time to
dry, work having been rushed on tho
building in order to have it completed in
time for the fair, and this caused the acci-
dent. The loss will amount to several
thousands of dollars

VIII Testify as to Durrant's Admission
60 Him OF EVIL Designs ON the Pretty
Schoolgirl.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5--The trial OF
Theodore Durrant for the murder of
Biapche Lamont was resumed today.
There was great a crowd In the court
room as yesterday. Is
The Examiner snys the prosecution has
witness who will show u motive for the
murders-something that has been lack
Ing heretofore on account of Durrant's
standing in social and religious circles.
The name of the witness is Clarence Wolfe,
and 10 is said that he will swear that on
the day before Blanche Lamont was muir
dered he and Theodore Durrant held tho
conversation which explains with terrible
significance the motive for killing tho girl.
Wolfe has told the police, and will tell the
jury that on the night of April he and
Durrant held the conversation which
meant SO much to the pretty girl whom
sboth knew only for "a few months.
4 Durrant commented upon the beauty of
Blanche. In tone of exultation and not
of respect he assured Wolfe that she was "A
pure girl, and that he intended to rob her
of that virtue which she so priced. The
girl priced her honor moro than her life,
and that explains the tragedy of the fol-
lowing day.
Durrant spoke in words far plaincr than
those which have been published He left
no possible doubt of what ho meant The
source Of this evidence Is, in aho opinion OF
Captain Lees, one of the strongest proofs
Of his reliability. Had some ore who en-
joyed no more than n simple acquaintance
with Durrant come forward with it there
might be some doubt; but it's sponsor
here is one who possessed the students con-
hdence, shared with his pleasures, and
took part in much of the daily routine OF
his life.
This overwhelming testimony which
Wolfe will give has been kept u profound
secret by the prosecution.
