At the last meeting of the Ralston
Health club, the evening of March 1st,
Rev. A. NJ Reynolds gave an interest

cat a picnic last summer a visitor re-
marked to him that Ralstonites were
not healthy looking people. This may
be, he said, for we never fully appreci-
ate health until it is lost. They have
been led by experience to study the way
to regain their health" Mr.. Reynolds
spoke a half hour and gave a fine ex-
PLANTATION of the RalstOn Regime and
the good results from following it. He
is a pleasant speaker and his remarks
gave evidence of his being well posted

MY speech at Kansas City declining

DR.. EMBREE'S TRIAL.
No One Likely to Appear
Agaisnt Him Before the
Church.

At noon today P. I. Bonebrake said
that he had not heard from a single in
dividuaI who had any testimony to Of
fer in the Embree case.
Mr.. Bonebrake was named to receive
the names of those who would testify
on either side of the case and all those
who had anything to offer that would
throw light on the case were requested
to communicate with Mr.. Bonebrake.
The fact that no one has appeared in
dicateS to Mr.. BOnebrake and the other
members of the church board that the
people who are so willing to make
charges are not anxious to come out
Mr.. BOnebrake was asked whether he
thought the people who made the
charges against Mr.. Embree would tes-
tify. He said: I do not believe they
will. All they wanted was money and
they do not care to push the thing
farther when they know there is no
Even Chief of Police Steele who made
the first arrest has said that he thought
DR.. Embree is innocent and the charges
against him have been dwindling away
ever since they were first made pub
lie"
A church trial is not a court trial by
any means. A witness may testify if
he wishes but there is nothing to COM
pei him to tell what he knows Before
a court it is different. He can be COM
PEELED to tell everything. If he does
not he must go to Jail For this reason
a church trial is not satisfactory.
If the proposed arrests for blackmail
are made the facts about the plot to
blackmai will have to be told if it was
really a plot The church members
have been resting their faith in the
church trial and it is a foregone conclu-
sion that the evidence will be one sided
and perhaps all one way. Many think
the Criths should be placed on the de-
fensive and it would then put a damper
on the ardor of the people who try to
get money by holding up prominent
men. Some think an example should
be made of bIackmailers once for all,
and such an example that blackmail
would never be undertaken in this
town again.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
Chicago Parties Forming a Syndicate
to Build the Nicaragua Canal

Chicago, March 4.-The Tribune says:
A syndicate to take the concessions
granted the Maritime Canal company
by the republic of Nicaragua and Costa
R1ca for the construction of the canal
IS in process of organization by E. F.
Crag1n of this city, who is now in New
ork, negotiating the contracts by
which the new owners of the conces-
S1ons granted by the Central American
republics and of the work already ac-
compliShed will come into possession
L. e. Cooley, the engineer who has
been associated with Mr. Cragin in the
great enterprise, is also in New York
gathering the material for the specifca-
tlons which will be within the next ten
days presented to contractors for bids
on the different sections of the work
The new syndicate for the construc-
tlon OF the Nicaragua canal will soon
know within a few million dollars Just
now much 1t is going to cost, finished
and ready for the passage of the first
ship. A rough estimate from the data
at hand on the return of Mr.. Cragin
and Mr.. Cooley from their trip over the
canal three weeks ago placed the cost
inside of SIS, 100000. Mr.. Cooley was of
the opinion that as further data was
collected regarding the nature of the
excavation over a part of the route the
cost might be cut down to $65, 900 0O0
This is far inside the estimates which
have been presented to congress in the
appeals of the Maritime Canal COM
pany for government aid.

AN ACCOMMODATING MAN.
He Presents Himself at the Jail to
Save Trouble to the Officers.

Here I am" said a stalwart young
man as he opened the door of the coun-
ty jail Thursday evening. I under
stand you have a warrant for me and
I don't want to make you any more
trouble. They think I am crazy"
When the young man gave his name
as H L. Bradley and said his home was
at 1147 Lincoln street, Sheriff Cook said
at once, THAT is right. We do want
you for insanity"
Bradley made no protest but was
placed in a private cell. His father is
a grocer on Lincoln street and the
young man about two years ago escap-
ed from home and it was some time be-
fore he was captured. He was then
tried and adjudged insane but was soon
after released from the asylum.
Il am not crazy said Bradley to-
day. Il am perfectly sane and know
what am doing. Here is a list of my
friends who will tell you what they
think of me-" He had several names
on a slip of paper among them being
that of District Clerk Cockrell.
Mr.. Cockreu said that it was general
ly considered that young Bradley is not
exactly right in his mind. He is %
years old.

said today that it was his purpose to in

is sitting. unless its report is unneceSSar-
