Psalm I.

The happiness of the god!y. The unhap-
piness Of the unyodly.
/ Blessed is the man that walketh
not IN the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way Of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scorn-
ful.
, But his delight is in the law of
the Lord; and in his law doth be
mediate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers Of water, that
briugeth forth his frutin his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so; but are
like the chaff which the wind driv-
eth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the Judgment, nor sinners
in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way
of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

n clean heart is one without NAL
ice. One heart means next a loving
heart. We don't love one another
enough. There are two sides to all
men-the loyable side and unlovable
side. Turn your lovable side to a
man and he will love you. Turn
your unlovable side to him and he
will turn his unlovable side to you.
1t is like mules in lot, as long as
their heads are together they are
peaceable, bnt let one turn his heels
where his head ought to be and you
will see the fur fly. He'll has no
more potent force than hate and G cd

delegates from the Socialist labor
party: A. w. Henderson, Samuel
Johnson, A. H. Lee, George B.
Leonard, Herbert G. Shaw, T. Malm-
quist, Frank Vezina, Carl Illige.
1t was moved by Delegate Law
renee of Minneapolis, from the
Bricklayers union and seconded by
Delegate Collins from the Typo
graphical union, St. Paul, that the
socialist delegates be admitted. At
this point, Delegate Hayes, of Du-
luth, chairman of the credential
committee, stated that the conven-
ton was a trades-uni0n body and
not political, and as the campaign
was over and there wOuld.nOt be an
other one for some time they had
no use for political delegates. A.
H. Lee one of the socialist dele
gates, took the floor and replied
that the campaign of '96 was over
but the workingmen's campaign
was on eternally. He started in to
state the socialists position in re-
gard to labor and trades unions
but was interrupted by delegate
asking that no discussion be al
lowed each person, or at least not
more than two minutes, which was
so ruled by the president, and time
was promptly called.
It was thought and expected that
there would be an exciting scene,
but it was a disappointment. A
few hot shots were fired back and
forth while loud calls were made

KANSAS FARMER MURDERED.

Alta Vista, Kan.
ALTA VISTA, Kan, March 10.-Frank
Mitchell, n prominent farmer near this
place, was murdered last Thursday.
James Clare, brothcr-in-law OF the
deceased, on going 10 Mitchell's farm
yesterday morning found Mitchell
missing. A search discovered the
body on the farm Of John Hep.
ner. neighbor. On being con.
fronted with the fact and taken into
custody, Hepner confessed to killing
Mitchell, and hiding the body In the
grass. Excitement runs high, and
threats Of lynching are common.
Mitchell was known rs q quiet and
sober man, while Hepner has n very
unsavory reputation. Hepncr's vito
denies all knowledge of the deed. She
was also placed under arrest.
