Abducted by q Priest.

ST. JOSEPH; Mo-, 3.-Upon infor-
nation received from Chicago at 2
o'clock today, the Rev. Dominick
Wagner, pastor of st Mary's Catholic
church, was arrested upon the charge
of having abducted Maud Steidel, the
16-year old daughter of a widow and
one of his Pensioners. The telegram
which caused the arrest of the rever-
end father, came from Alex. Podvant,
a hotelkeeper of Holton, Kas. Father
Wagner spent the early morning
hours in Jail. Owing to the conclu-
siveness of the evidence against him
and the almost certainty that he would
flee if given an opportunity, it is not
thought that he will be admitted to
bail. Priests of st Joseph, who had
previously declared belief in the inno-
cence of Father Wagner, have tele-
graphed to Bishop Bourke, now in
New York, urging him to take imme-
diate action in banishing Wagner
from the church, that the public,
which has been so strongly infamed
for the last week, may see that his i'm.
morality and crime is not sanctioned
or even extenuated by the church au-
thority. Only last Saturday night,
Wagner issued a newspaper card de-
nying any responsibility for or knowl-
edge of the disappearance of Maud
Steidel, and he publicly and dramati-
cally swore that his statement was
true. The girl is the only child of a
widow. Alex. Podvant, her only
other living relative, this morning in
discussing the case said: II am going
to see that this priest is punished to
the full extent of the law. We could
have him hanged if we wished, as the
people are in a high state of excite.
ment over the affair. The age of con-
sent in Missouri is 1S years, and he can
be charged with rape as well as of alb
duction. I know of no opportunity he
had of meeting the girl alone, save at
confession.

Recent Storm I'm Great Britain.

London, Oct. ..3.-Much additional
wreckage has been washed ashore in
the vicinity of Ilfracombe, on the
North coast ef Devonshire, and it is
thought that several vessels founder
ed in the Bristol Channel during the
recent gale. This would make the
number of craft of various descriptions
lost over fifty, and may considerably
increase the loss of life, previously es-
timated at only twenty.four.

gressmen and State officers were paid
handsomely, but the effort was always
made to cut the pay of the representa-
tives of the people.
Mr.. Sigh had been doing some fgur-
ing. At 50 a day the epay of the mem
bers was $730per annum; at So per day
it was 81, ,095; at 81 per day, the amount
he wanted to pay the Legislators, it
would come to 81, 460; at S. it came to
81, 1926 per year. Now the State officers
receive 81, 300, and he thought it was
little enough to pay members of legis-
lature at the rate of $40 less than
State officers, when they had to work
harder.
Mr.. w. D. Evans moveda substitute
that it be left to the legislature, and
that the pay of members should not
be reduced below 81 per diem.

down salaries.

Why She Never Married.

When a man tempts fate by remind
ing a spinster of her condition, his
punishment is generally swift and
sure. In a county of Ireland where
the Quakers are numerous the entire
body on one occasion gathered to-
gether for one of their quarterly
meetings.
After the exercises OF the morning a
public luncheon was held, at which
all the Friends attended. The conver-
sation turned to matrimony.
Bridget" said an unmannerly
youthful member of the society,
speaking across the crowded table to
a prim, elderly maiden lady, "wilt
thou tell me why thou hast never
marriedP"
Certainly, friend William" re-
sponded the ready Bridget, in a voice
audible over the room. "'Tis be-
cause l am not so aisy pleased as thy
wife was. Tit Bits.

Followed by a DeIuge,

The depth of water has considerable
effect upon a vessels speed, shoal
water retarding her. In some ships,
running at a high rate of speed in
shoal water, the stern, or after. part,
is drawn down very considerably.
This is caused by the water not filling
with sufficient quickness the cavity at
the stern caused by the forward move
ment of the vessel This lack of
water at the stern causes the ship to
settle there and be pursued by huge
wave. In one of our small, very fast
ships this settling, or "squatting," as
it is usually called, was so marked
that the crest of the following wave
actually boiled over the stern and
broke upon the deck, and in some
much larger vessels this water comes
pretty well up towards the deck under
similar circumstances. -Harper's Mag

Thirty years ago two Irish immigrants,
employed as porters in New York warehouses,
undertook to study law After working from
morning until night packing goods, loading

jill IL O'Clock In their rooms in boarding.
house reading law books and discussing
principles and cases.
The ambitious young men were so deeply
Interested in their night work that they fire.
luently argued points of law during leisure
moments at the store, and naturally exposed
themselves to chafflng and ridicule. With
Irish wit they pared every thrust and never
lost their tempers.
Their companions nicknamed them the
"Judge" and "Lawyer john" and asked
them mockinglY whether they thought that
merchants would consult them as lawyers
after employing them as porters.
"They may do it," answered the "Judge, "
"after we have worked up a fine criminal
practice In keeping out Of the penitentiary
night brawlers like yourselves, who ought 10
be In their beds and asleep"
"Instead of loading your drays," said an
Incorporate clerk, "you stand there arguing
whether an injunction could be brought
against the firm for obstrueting the sidewalk.
You are your own lawyers and you have fools
for clients"
Judgment may be affirmed" said Claw
yer john" "but not with cost. We have
borrowed our law books and we save money
by keeping out Of the saloons. It costs us
less to fuddle our brains with law than with
drink. A debauch over Blackstone leaves a
better taste in the mouth than a night spent
In carousing"
So the laugh in the end turned against the
incorporate clerk. The young porters knew
how to take and return a joke. By their
good humOr they amused everybody in the
store, and it was not long before members Of
the firm helped them to get clerkships in law
offices.
One of them is to-day on the bench, and
the other is a lawyer with lucrative prac-
tice. They made their way rapidly, and
neither criticism nor ridicule Kept them
baek.-CathOlic Review.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

Every drunkard used to boast that he
could drink or let 1t alone.
Tennessee's Legislature will be petitioned
for q scientific temperance instruction law
and TO extend the benefits of the four mile
law to incorporated towns.
The population of the earth is estimated at
,44O, $50, 900 persons. Americas annual
drink bill is but little less than a dollar for
every inhabitant on the globe.
Bishop Fallows, of Chicago. has bought
out a saloon TO run his new temperance
clearinghouse in. His first act was to empty
the whole stock of wines and liquors into
the cutters.
One OF the foremost women physicians Of
England, Doctor Anderson Brown, has estab-
hshed an industrial farm for ineDriate wO-
men. The test of the practicability Of out
door life as a cure for drunkenness will be
made under the auspices OF the Women's

Times When the Sun Fniled.

The ancient historians mention sew.
eral instances of the sun "going OUT
or failing to shine and give forth its
usual amount of heat and light for
periods of time varying in length from
three hours TO several months. Ac-
cording TO Plutarch the year "A b. G.
was one in which the sun was "weak
and pale" for period approximating
eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
Several months of diminished sun
light in the year 934 A. D., and, ac-
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny
period ended with strange and start
ling sky phenomena, such as loud at
mospheric explosions, riffs in the
vaulted canopy of the blue above and
in divers other rare and unaccountable
freaks. In the year 1901, on Sep
tember 29th (Seo Humboldts Cos
mos'O, the sun turned suddenly
black and remained so for three
hours, and did not regain its normal
condition for several days Accord
ing TO the noted Helmuth's "Solar
Energy" the days of seeming inactiv-
ity on the part of the sun (the days
following the sudden blackening of
the great orb) were noted for peculiar
greenish tinge, and are marked in old
Spanish, French and Italian records
as "the days of the green sun" Feb
ruary, 1106, A. D., is noted in the an.

days that "the sun appeared dead and
black, like great circular cinder
floating in the sky"
''On the last day of February, 1906"

on astronomy, astrology and kindred
subjects, "the sun appeared to go
suddenly out, causing darkness over
the country for about six hours" In

CFTom The Herald, Woodstock, Vd.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion Mr.. Levi McInturfI
He passed through both these wars without
serious wound. The hardships. however,
told seriously on him, for when the grip at
tackled him four years ago it nearly killed
him. Who can look upon the inarmities of
veteran without feeling of the deepest
sympathy His townspeople saw him con-
fined to his house SO prostrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too. and as he attempted it. he often STUN
bled and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent TO be had-but still he suffered on
for four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the ac-
count of a cure which had been affected by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm
mediately ordered box and commenced tax
ing them. He says he was greatly relieved
within three days time. The blood found its
way to his fingers, and his hands, which had
been palsied, assumed a natural color, and
he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork
at the table. He has recovered his strength
to such an extent that he is able to chop
wood, shock corn and do his regular work
about his home. He now says he can not
only walk TO Woodstock but can walk across
the mountains. He is able to lift up a fifty.

does not know what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done for others, but knows that they
have done a great work for him.

and was loud in his praise of the medicine
that had given him so great relief He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. d.. McInturif is willing to make affi.

The propnetoTs of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine. but
