TEXT "All we like sheep, have gone
astray. We have turned every one to his
own way, and the Lord hath laid on Him the
iniquity of US all."-Isaiah liii., 8.
Once more ring the cd gospel bell. The
first half Of my next text Is an indictment.
All we, like sheep, have gone astray. Some
one says: "Can't yeu drop that first word?
That is 100 general; that sweeps too great a
circle" Some man rises in the audience,
md be looks over on the opposite side ofths
house and says, Where is blasphemer.
and understand how he has gone sstray.
AID there in another part of the house is
defaulter, and he has gone astray. And there
is an impure person, andh has gone astray."
Sit down, my brother, aud look at homo. My
text takes us all in. 1t starts behind the
pulpit, sweeps the circuit OF the room, and
comes back 10 the point where il started,
when it says. All we like Sheep, have gone
Rstray.
l can very easily understand why Martin
Luther threw up his hands after he had
found the Bible and cried out, "O1, my sins,
my sins' aud why the publican, according
to the custom to this day Ill the East, when
they have any great grief, began to beat

how they get astray ana what my te4t means
when it says, "Au wA Ike sheep, have gone
astray." Sheep get astray in two ways.
either BY trying to get into other pasture. or
from being scared by dogs. In the former
way some of us got astray.. We thought the
religion of Jesus Christ put us on short COM
mons. We thought there was better pastur-
age somewhere else. We thought ii we could
only lie down on the banks Of a distant
stream. or under great oaks on the other
side of some hill, we might be better fed. We
wanted other pasturage than that which
God, through Jesus Christ, gave ours5uk and

SCENES nv THE REfcASTAG.
Herr Liebknecht's Fierce discussion OF
Leading Questions Meets win
Repenfed ReprovnL

BERLIN. GERMANY, Dec. 3.-In the
Reichstag to-day Herr Auer, Social Demo
crat. severely criticized the action OF the
Ham burg employers in refusing 10 SUD-
NIT their dispute with the striking COCK
la borers 10 arbitration.
DR.. Won Boetticher, Imperial Secretary
of State for the Interior, said that the
terms of the proposal justified the en-
ploye in refusing to accept IT, he aooeo
that Tom Mann, the English labor aglta-
tor, had expressed his dissatisfaction De-
cause the strike had been premature. AS
matter of fact, concerted strike OF the
dock laborers at every port in Europe nao
been planned.
Herren Auer and Liebknecht had pre-
viously denied that the English agltators
had fomented the strike.
In the course of the discussion or tne
question Herr Lie bknecht, SOCIALIST,
severely criticized the remarks OF Adml
Won Holman, the Secretary OF the. Navy,
concerning the conduct of the sailors OF
the German cruiser ltlis, who cheered Ior
the Kaiser as the ship went down with
nearly all hands off the coast OF China.
The speaker declared that the ltlis was
unseaworthy and that the sailors who
were lost showed no more courage than
thousands of miners in the course of their
work.
The president rebnked Herr Liebknecht
for his remark, detracting from the
bravery of the sailors.
Herr Liebknecht said he had heard
threats that the Reichstag might be dis
solved if the naval estimates were not
passed. There was certain person be-
hind that threat, he said, who would do
one thing to-day and another to- morrow.
nobody knowing what he might take into
his head to do.
This condition of things was unworthy
OF the Reichstag.
The President again called the speaker
to order.
Resuming his remarks Herr Liebknecht
declared that the trial o: the editors now
in progress for alleged libel against Baron
Marschau Won Bleberstein and others
showed that base intrigues were on foot in
the higher circles. Concluding, he said
that the socialists would vote neither men
nor money for militarism or navalism.

to the aid of the Republicans with large
contribution of money. The suffraglsts
had been endorsed by schools, colleges,
persons and associations among the hlgner
classes, but the Eiquor-dealers were OPP
posed to them.
Returning to the topic of California, the
speaker said that the leading Republican
clergymen in some places, who were op-
posed to woman suffrage, urged the re-
monstrants to form Republican clubs and
parade through the str Gets carrying lamps
on the end of sticks.
Miss Shaw closed her remarks with a
resume of the tactics adopted by the Cali
fornia politicians, and expressed indlgna-
ton that they should promise to give
woman suffrage and then withdraw their
support. She quoted California mascu-
line acquaintance to the effect that the
promise had been given only in spirit OF
chiyalry, but sucn chivalry she considered
an insult. Suffrage, if obtained, would re-
lieve women from the need OF any such
chivalry.
Miss Carrie Chapman, organizer, resi-
dent of Bensonhurst, who spent the
months of the campaign in Kansas. told
her experience in that State. She refer
red to the accounts of the movement sent
to New York paper by correspondent
who, it was claimed, OBJ tanned her infor-
nation from welI-known gambler, and
declared that woman suffrage had won
the day in Kansas, although the final de-
cision of the matter is now in the hands
of the Supreme Court.

SAReUiNARY KENTUCKY FIGHT:
Morgan and Harrison Families Renew a
n Feud-TWo Men Killed and Three
EnfoUy Wounded.

MIDDLESBORO, KY, Dec. 3.-News
has reached this place of bloody fight.
1t took place in the mountainous regions
of Letcher County, and three men
were killed outright and two were fatally
wounded. Full details of the affair have
not yet been received, but some of the
facts are known.
There has been hostility between the
Morgan and Harrison families in that
county for several years and it eliminated
during the recent bot political campaign
in open quarrels. The Morgans were
strong supporters of Congressman Colson
anG the Harrisons were equally vigorous
partisans OF ex-Congressman White.
The result of the trouble did not end
the trouble by any means and the two
families have talked very bitterly about
each other. They did not come actually
in contact with each other, however. until
the day in which the fight took place. On
that day William Morgan and his three
sons started for the mill. They were fully
armed as both families have been pre-
pared for trou Die.
On the way to the mill they met James
Harrison with his two sons, Tom and
Henry. A few angry words were ex-
changed on both sides and then weapons
were drawn and firing began.
at the first fire of the Harrisons old
man Morgan fell to the ground dead.
His sons kept up the fight and a vigorous
1usIllade was kept up until nearly all the
conn atants were disabled. =
When the battle was finally ended only
one on each side was left uninjureG. In
addition TO William Morgan, old man
Harrison and his son Henry lay dead on
the field of battle, and two sons of Nor
gan. Tom and Caleb, lay fatally wounded

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
3.-The co-eds have no intention of giving
up their share in athletics and are already
practicing for an intercollegiate game OF
basket ball should the Berkeley girls
challenge them. Inasmuch as they de-
feated the Berkeley team last year, it lies
with Berkeley as to whether another game
will be played this year. The Stanford
co-eds are expecting a challenge and are
taking time by the forelock in order to be
ready for game should it be desired by
their fair rivals. If any game does take
place this college year it will not come off
until next spring, and it will probably be
after the holidays before the Stanford girls
can learn whether Berkeley desires a
match.
AT the present time there are twenty
i've or thirty girls playing here and many
more who would enter into the game if It
should be decided TO get up team. There
are several basketball teams in the neigh.
borhood with which games will probably
be arranged later.

IOWA SOLDIERS
HOME TROUBLE
Serious Charges Against
Commandant and
Trustees.
Warrants to Be Issued for Their
Arrest in a Few
Days.
All Kinds of Mismanagement and
Violation of Federal Statutes
Is Alleged.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. sc. D.
Fullen, Federal attorney for the Southern
District of Iowa, to-day announced that
he will next week swear out warrants for
the arrest of the commandant and trus-
tees of the Iowa Soldiers Home at Mar
shalltown on charges of violation of the
Federal statutes for the protection of PEN
sioners in their rights to their pensions.
The officers against whom informations
will be sworn out are: Commandant ].
r. Ratekin and trustees S. B. Evans of
Ottumwa, J. J. Russell of Jefferson, A. T.
Birchard of MarshaIltown, G. L. Davidson
of Hull. L. B. Raymond of Hampton and
John W. Morton of Washington. They
will be charged with the violation of Sec
tions 4747 to 4749 of the Revised Statutes.
Nearly two years ago the management
of the home determined that it was Unfair
to the State to maintain a home for
soldiers who received pensions and unless
the pensioners paid part of their PEN
sions to the institution. Accordingly, in
the interest of discipline and of justice to
the State, rule was adopted requiring
that all pensioners pay to the home all
their pensions in excess of Sc per month.
The pensioners were required to deposit
their pension certificates with the COM
mandant.
The inmates took the matter to court
and the Marshall County court held
against the home. The Supreme Court of
the State reversed this and upheld the
rule. Then the matter was taken before
the Legislature and an attempt made to
enact a law overriding the rule. This
failed and the rule is now beirg enforced.

support fund of the institution.
Attorney Fullen discovered that the
rule seems to be violation Of the statutes
referred to. which make it q mlsdemeanor,
punishable by fine and imprisonment, 10
hold or attempt to enforce any len against
a pension. He will swear out informations
under these sections and the officers will
be brought before Judge Woolson at once.
The statute provides that for such offenses
the offenders may be taken directly before
the court without Indictment.
The same rule that is enforced in Iowa
prevails in the State Soldiers homes OF
several other States, ana if the court de-
cides against the Iowa institution it will
apply to all alike. The only exception
made by the Federal statute is in the case
of the National Soldiers and Sailors
homes, which are allowed to hold in trust
for pensioners all their pensions above S.
per month, to be turned over to them at
their discharge, or TO their heirs in case of
death. No part OF 1t can be cOnfiScated

Locker had forced his way into the official
an e-chamber at BresIau and accosted him
prince Hoheniohe) at the door, asking a
question upon some matter or other of a
wholly trif1ing nature.
1t was possible, he said, that Locker
had asked if Count Kapnist would sue
coed Prince Lobanoff as Russian Minister
of Foreign Affairs. to which question he
received the answer that the witness knew
nothing about Prince LoDanoff' s successor
and had no time to waste. The whole in
cident, he added, was utterly insignifi-
cant.
Baron Marshall Won Bieberstein was
called to the stand. He said he was not
acquainted with either Baron Won Lietzow
or Herr Leckert.
Under the supposition that he had been
approached by reporter at Breslau, who
was unable to take notes in French, he
said he had written out the Cars toast
for him, which was verified by Russian
official. The wrong version of the toast,
he said. was due to the mistake of a re-
porter. Afterward it appeared that Baron
Won Lietzow was the author of the asser-
ton that the false version had emanated
from the Foreign Office.

PERIL0US PERIOD PASSED.
The Mayor of Chippewa Falls Thinks the
Town Is New Out of Danger
of FJ0od

CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS, Dec Sat
midnight Mayor Landley believes the
town out of danger. The water has been
falling slowly but steadily since 4 O'Clock
this afternoon and the only danger now is
from possible breakages OF dams above.
The Little Falls dam is reported To-
night in very safe condition. River ex-
perts and loggers have made thorough
investigation of the gorge and claim the
water will have fallen sufficiently by noon
tomorrow to permit merchants to move
back into their places of business.
The Government engineer who is here
examining the situation believes the gorge
will not go out suddenly. but is not pre-
pared to say whether or not dynamite can
bulge it. 1t is believed he will not author
ize such an attempt to be made.
The hustle of excitement of yesterday
was followed by day of comparative in
activity. The only business transacted
was such as the flood made necessary
The freight and passenger depots of the
Wisconsin Central and Milwaukee roads
are in sadly demoralized condition.
The Milwaukee freight depot stands at
an angle of forty-five degrees, and the
fact that it Is tied to the railroad tracks
with strong cables alone prevents it from
falling into the river. The wafer eddied
around it all day, slowly eating its foun-
oatlon.
Mayor Landley has received numerous
kilograms proffering assistanc iii case
aid is required, but replied that none was
needed. and that the city was in good con-
dition yet SO far as danger to life is con-
cerned.
A heavy snowstorm has set in and more
ice is forming. Reports from the farming
country are distressing. Hundreds are
homeless and all their personal effects
were swept away by the relentless waters.
The total damage done tn the city to date
is estimated to be $100, 600.
