A Remarkable Episode.

A thrilling scene was witnessed in
the Central Arnory in Cleveland,
Ohio, during the lecture of DR.. A. j.
Palmer. The lecturer described the
battle of Fort Wagner, in which he
was captured, the march through the
streets of Charleston, surrounded by a
bowling mob, the Imprisonment at
Colum bia, the journey to Richmond,
and incarceration in Libby Prison.
He said as the captives were marched
through the streets of Richmond at
night. when they heard a sweet voice
singing:
"We are coming Father Abraham,
Six hundred thousand more"
THAT was the voice of Chaplain
McCabe, said the speaker.
This was the signal for immense ap-
plause. Hardkerchiefs and hats were
waved, and the applause continued,
the immense throng turning their
faces toward the gallery, where the
Chaplain sat, until. he rose, and recog-
nized the compliment by waving his
hat. But the people were not content
with this. The applause continued,
grew louder, and ceased not, until the
gallant Chaplain graciously descended
from the gallery sat down at the
piano. and sang:
1--WE are coming Father Abraham.
Six hundred thousand more"
Christian Advocate.

away last Monday morning, Aug 10Th,
after a long and lingering illness occa-
stoned by disease that had been slow
ly sapped up the life blood Of the
young man for the past two years.
The cause of death was the disease
called cancer. A little over year ago
the young man had his leg amputated
in consequence, but it had gained such
a headway that it was impossible to
eradicate it from his system. All the
tender nursing a loving mother could
bestow and the assistance that medi.
cal skill could devise was done TO stay
the ravages of the disease, out all fail
ed and the spirit of the long suffering
young man at last found relief from
earthly pain and troubles in that mys-
terious home where neither are known.
The funeral occurred Tuesday from
the family residence on Main street,
and the remains were followed to their
last earthly resting place by large
concourse of friends of the young man.

have heard Chaplain McCabe's lee
ture, ''The Bright Side of Life in
Libby Prison." Aside from his great
popularity in the ministry, this lec-
ture alone has given him a high
reputation throughout the United
States. He speaks from the exper.
fence of an actual participant in the
scenes and incidents of prison life.
Besides picturing the condition of the
inmates of Libby prison more vividly
than pen can portray, he describes
that side of prison life that is so little
known outside, how the boys make the
best of everything to keep their spirits,
beguile the weary hours, and make
their life there endurable. The lee
ture is replete with incidents and
descriptions that give it intense in
terest.
Chaplain McCabe's reputation as a
singer is scarcely less than that of a
lecturer. There are few singers in the
country that possess more power of ex-
preston in song than he.
am glad to have the opportunity of
hearing him again.

For People Whose Stomachs are Weak

diseases is worthy of attention, says

complaining of indigestion, loss of
appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour

eral run down nervous condition l ad-
wise them TO take after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
allowing the tablet to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle with the food
eaten. The result is that the food is
speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will
digest food anyway whether the
stomach wants to or not. because they
contain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essences, pepsin and Golden
Seal which supply just what the weak
stomach lacks.

A fifty cent package of Stuart's
Tablets can be bought at
any drug store, and as they are not a
secret patent medicine, they can be
used as often as desired with full as
surance that they contain nothing
harmful in the slightest degree; on the
contrary, any one whose stomach is at

from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia

The project of Chrisman Brothers
to haul freight from The Dalles
to Silver Lake, by steam has ended as
many thought it would end in COM
plete failure. The engine and empty
wagons, after nearly a months labor,
have reached the Davis ranch eight or
ten miles beyond Shearer's bridge.
Part of the freight was unloaded at
Long Hollow, fifteen miles from here,
and the remainder at Shearer's bridge
and is now probably on the way to
Silver Lake By the old method. The
engine will be taken to Silver Lake
and probably used to drive a wood saw
or saw mill or something of that kind,

THE SOUL LIFB.

Professor UOham says: THE soul
cannot live without life OF m kind.
There are but two principles Of moral
life in the universe: one which makes
ourselves, or the most limited private
good, the center; the other which
makes God, VINO may be called the
universal good, the center. And by
that necessary law which says, Where
there is life there must be a principle
OF life; when one of these principles
dies, the other emerges from its stete
of allegiance and inactivity, and takes
the place of that which hes passed
away. So that when self dies IN the
soul, God lives; when self Is annihila
t d, @ ID is enthroDed. So that it must
be that either self or God shall occupy
Ene throne of che heart. II self then
the life is regulated from a selfish stand
point. Ii CD is az the teim. Enen
everything will move G edward We
should never be satisfied unless G. d Is
on the throne. Does God reign In your

A CONFESSIONS.

Men Who Have Confessed to Crimes
Which They Never Committed,
That q man on the rack with every
nerve quivering, with every nerve
drawn to it's utmost tension, with the
pain increasing in intensity and VIC
lence, should confess himself the per
petrator OF crime is natural enough.
The prospect Of relief from actual pain
is a temptation that blinds the sufferer
to the future. Bot it may seem strange,
and is indeed one of the most inexplic
able things in human history, that men
have been induced by religious exhor
tations and other means of persuasion

confessing crimes actually never com
mitted. Such in England was the case
Of John Perry, executed near Oampden
i'm 1861, with his mother and brother,
for numbering William Harrison,
steward for Lady Campden. The testi
mony against them was. chiefly the
confession of John Perry himself, but,
to the astonishment of all, Harrison,
who had been kidnapped and carried off,
returned two years after the execu-
ton.
In 1879 a man named Russell Colvin,
living at Manchester, We, disappeared,
and suspicions of foul play were enter
tanned. Public opinion attributed his
murder to Stephen and Jesse Boorn.
Still, as there was no definite ground
on which to arrest them, the excite
ment gradually died away. In 1919,
however, a Mr.. B BORN dreamed that be
had been murdered by two men, whom
he fixed upon as his nephews, Stephen
and Jesse. The ghost of the murdered
man even specified the place of the
murder and the old cellar hole where
the mangled body had been thrust.
There a knife and buttons were found,
which we're identified as belonging to
Colvin. On this the men were arrest
ed. Stephen and Oolvin had q1arreled
just before the disappearance OF the
latter, and Stephen had been q to
strike him with q club and knock him
down.
In q short time Jesse confessed that
he and Stephen, with their, father
after Stephen knocked him down, had,
carried him to the old cellar and cut
his throat with a pck knife and furth
or stated that next year they made
away with most of the bones of their,
victim. Stephen, after a time, admit
ted the truth Of Jesse's confession. On
this they were convicted and sentenc
ced to be hanged on the 28th of Jan
uary, 1920. They applied Tor commu-e
tation of sentence, and as some be-
lieved their innocence, advertisements.
were inserted i'm various papers for
Colvin. Not long aiterward a letter
appeared i'm the New York Evening
Post, signed by a Mr. Chadwick, and
dated Shrewsbury, n j., December
16, 1918, stating that a eighty derang-
ed man named Russell Colvin had been
there five gears before This was gen
erahy looked upon as a hoax, but jas.
Whelpley, of New York, who knew
Colvin, resolved to follow up the clue,
and actually found Oolvin at the house
Of William Polhemus, at Dover, N. j.,
where he had been since April, 1913.
Mr.. Whelpley took him to New York,
the common council gave gave him
means t proceed to Vermont, and he
arrived at Manchester on the 22d day
Of December.
The whole place was in a state of
wild excitement. People gathered in
from all the surrounding country to
see the dead alive. A cannon was
brought out and Colvin was saluted
with O discharge of cannon and small
arms, Stephen Boorn firing the first
piece. There was much discussion az
to the motive for the confession, some
attributing it to the effect of imprison-
ment, a general sort of panic, terror,
and others to the injudicious advice
and exhortations of a clergyman
