Damaging Evidence against LeuUgeFt
Chicago, Sept. 4.-Three women gave
damaging evidence against the de-
PENDANT in the Luetgert trial yesterday.
They positively identified the rings
found in the vat as being the property
of Mrs. Luetgert, and said that they
had seen them on her hands. The de-
tense made desperate effort to break
down the evidence Of the three women,
but they stuck to their stories. The
afternoon session Of court was short,
as Judge Tuthill said that he desired
to make personal visit to the sausage
factory and see for himself where the
murder is said to have been committed.
He took with him one attorney from
the side Of the defense and one from
those engaged In the prosecution, and
during their visit to the factory no
other person was allowed around the
premises.

The news Just out of Klondike by re-
liable men Is calculated to raise the
excitement to a higher pitch. The ship
ment of dust by the mouth Of the
Yukon will be all of two and one-half
tons. Rich finds have been made well
up on the sides of the mountains and
the old saying that Gold Is where YOU
find 1t and silver runs in veins seems
to be emphasized In that district. A
conservative estimate is that there are
5000 men at Skaguay and along the
trail on the White Pass. The men who
are coming are fine fellows. and I
greatly admire them as I see them
talk and walk. A country can well
be proud of such men. They are re-

Chamberlain, at St. Louis, brought
rather a novel question before the
treasury department in connection with
Chinese laborer in st. Louis. who was
arrested without registration papers in
his possession. During the period Of
registration he was merchant and
therefore not compelled to register. Since
then reversals of fortune have lowered
him into the laboring class, but the
period for registration has expired.
The department ruled that If it could
be proven that he was merchant dur
ing the period Of registration he was
not unlawfully in the country.

fore perfect even as your Father
which art in heaven is perfect" No
doctrine is richer in moral strength
and peace than satisfaction with Gcd.
Assurance that he owes us no ILL;
that he is absolutely good; that he is
mighty to control all things which he
hath created; that he really loves us,
and is willing that we should possess
whatever there is in the universe as
fast as it is best for us; that we, as
intelligent beings, are more precious
to him than all things else; that he
made all things for the enjoyment of
his own family, and that we are a
part of that family-such assurance,
I say, has the greatest possible moral
effect upon our conduct, and. upon
our happiness.
Happy is the man who can think
thus of his heavenly Father, and
thus enjoy him and what he posses

In the interesting article of Rev.

he speaks of the Brewster Dictionary,
and intimates concerning Brewster
Bible. The presence of this Brewster
Bible is known. l saw it in one of

Gently. 1t contains much informa-
ton concerning the Brewster and
allied families, all of which will be
published in few months. There is
much interest in the elder days, and
concerning the sturdy families who
made our nation possible. To be a
descendent of Pilgrim or Puritan
is honorable. The ten generations
since the coming of the "Mayfower,"
"Fortune" and "Arabella" have been
strong in promoting the best things
in all which makes our land the home
of the brave and free. If PERSONS
ancestors residing in New England
were here during the Revolution, the
chances are nine out of ten that the
immigrant arrived prior to 1912, and
can with pains and research be readily
learned. ANsoN TITUs.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF ATONE
MENT.
BY A. A. THAYER, DID.

EVERY doctrine of religion should
have basis OF morality. As the one
purpose of food is to give US growth
and strength and health; SO the of
fee of religion is to nourish the NOR
al nature; to give vitality to the soul,
and health and beauty to our man
hood.
Now what is the moral influence of
the atonement? Is a belief in the
doctrine of the atonement likely to
make man better or worse9 The
answer depends upon what we mean
by the atonement. 1t is a kind of
mediation between God and his chill
dren. Jesus is supposed to have
done something whereby the Father
and his family are more friendly than
they were before. Jesus has created
satisfaction wherein before there
was variance and strife. His atone
ment is associated with his blood-the
shedding of his blood. The sin of
the race was so offensive that the
Father would have sent all his fam
ily into the fires of Tophet, except
Jesus had shed his blood on the cross.
Then God was willing to receive
