REJECTED LOVERS Grille.
Father and Son Both Meet Death at
His Hands.

Schuyler, Neb.. Dec s.-A shooting af-
fray occurred at midnight last night at
the home of Max Gleason, six miles from
here, in which Gleasons son, aged q
years, was killed, shot through the heart
by Claud Delts, who wished to marry
Gleason's daughter. Opposition of the
parents to the marriage is said to be
the cause of the murder, and it is no
fault of Debts that he did not exterminate
the family After killing the son. he
fired three times at Mrs. Gleason without
effect. The father, who was in bed
sprang up, seized a shot gun and aimed
it at De,ts, but the charge failed to ex-
plode. Delts then turned on the old man,
shot him in the forehead, and wrestling
the shot gun from him beat him over the
head, leaving him for dead. He then made
his escape. This morning he sheriff
formed posse and is securing the coun-
try for Delts, who has not yet been cap
tured

wed Miss Hoffman at o'clock Satur-
day night.
The bridegroom did not put in an ap-
pearance at o'clock. At $3.50, when it
was concluded that Berninger had met
with an accident, some one was about
to go in search of him when his brother
arrived and, calling the bride aside,
handed her a letter. Miss Hoffman,
with nervous fingers, hurriedly tore
open the envelope
Berninger wrote that he feared the
young woman did not love him enough
to be married, and he thought that
even at the eleventh hour, it would be
better to back out of his agreement
than to take a step that the two of
them would probably regret the re-
mainder of their lives. Mr.. Hoffman
went to Berninger's house for an ex-
PLANTATION, but fearing the wrath of his
former intended father-in-law, the
young man had fed to Philadelphia.

lng.' How many OF us have been
content with breathing this murky
atmosphere of the world. How many
of us find our life in the performance
of worldly work, and spend our days
and weeks in the treadmill of earthly
cares and anxieties and worries.
What we need is to get away from
the drudgery of secular duties ard
the ENDORSEMENTS of secular pleas
ures, now and again, for a touch of
God. We need to come into contact
with true mother nature, the ideal of
life which is Gods primal thought
for us. We need to breathe the pure
atmosphere Of prayer, and drink in
the delights of worship, and refresh
our spiritual natures by communion
with our Father.
There are flowers along all the way
sides OF life, ii only we will train our
eyes to See them, if only we will give
ourselves time to pluck them. There
is pure air for us to breathe, which
will give spiritual tone and vigor to
our whole lives, if only we will get
away from the pavements, and away
from the dingy walls that often i'm
prison US in our working hours.
There is a divine companionship wait
ing for us. Communion with Cod
that is the touch of nature we need.
His word, speaking to our souls, is
the music Of true mother.nature, her
birds and zephyrs and waterfalls.
His promises are natures flowers
that feast the soul. Prayer, worship
that is the clear atmosphere in
which our spiritual natures grow
strong.
So much and more does the Bicycle
Parable teach us.

Letter from DIR. E. W. Parker.

DEAR CALEDoNIAN:-Your readers and
our friends may like word from one Of
the great ocean steamships of our day.
We sailed rom New York on the St. LOUIS
Sept. 23d, bound for Southampton, near
London. The grand ship looked like
some great living monster as we passed
up the ladder to her deck At the time
fixed, 10 "a m. the bell rung, the whistle
blowed and the order rang through the
ship and on the wharf, "All visitors
ashore, all passengers aboard" Hasty
good-byes were said and friends parted,
and the great monster commenced to
breathe, Ropes were cast off, ladders
removed and our grand ship backed away
from the pier and swung round towards
the open sea. Friends stood on the
shore, all passengers crowded the decks,
handkerchieis were waved on both sides,
parting words were called till some one
struck up God be with you till we meet
again." which was sung heartily while
we passed out towards old ocean.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1896-10-30

is the cargo, 5000 to 10000 tons, and
the enormous mail, all of which brings
in large sum, While the ship is not al.
ways full, this statement shows in what
large figures these great ships deal. In a
months time several hundred thousand
dollars change hands through this com
pany alone, and any one Tor S27 can
cross the ocean in six to seven days quite
comfortably, or for $40 he can have
every convenience needed, or if he would
be luxurious he can be so for 500. An
Eastern man can visit London much
cheaper than he can California and
almost as cheaply as he can Denver.
In these days of travel friends are met
everywhere. Some years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stebbins, the sweet singers who
work in connection with Mr.. Moody
and Major Whipple, were with us
and aided us in our work in India.
We were glad to meet them again on this
ship and talk Of old times and the good
work in India. They are on their way
to aid in meetings in Scotland.
Our passage, though without storm,
has not been very smooth one as we
have encountered heavy seas and strong
head winds, so that most of the passen-
gers know something OF what seasickness
means. We landed Wednesday, the 30th,
at 9 a. m. Yours truly,
Z. w. PARKER.
Steamship St. Louis, Sept. 80.
