BODY of owen Doyle Found I'm the
Canal.

The body of Owen Doyle, who disap-
peared mysteriously Feb. II, was found
in the gate house in the canal last Sunday,
bv friends who made search there after
the water had been shut off. The body
was in a remarkable state of preservation
Mrs. Leonard Goodnow saw the body of a
man floating down the canal on the after
noon of Feb. II. She called the attention
of S. B. Alger to the object but he did not
see it clearly enough to be positive that it
was body. 1t is supposed that Doyle fell
into the canal from the Rutland railroad
bridge. He was about 60 years old and had
been railroad employee and a resident of
North Walpole 80 years. The body was
taken to Chase's undertaking rooms. The
funeral was at St. Peters church Monday
morning and the burial was in Drewsville.
Later.-The statement made by news
papers the week following his disappear
ance to the effect that he went home to
supper after finishing his work that day,
(Feb, ~ is proven untrue, and he was not
seen in North Walpole that evening. The
last authentic account of his being seen is
given by Roadmaster Brown, for whom he
had worked eight years. He says he came
into the railroad yard that evening at just
BIO on a freight train over the Rutland
road and that Doyle was cleaning out
switch half way up the Patch" at that
Sime, and he was so engaged when the
trainmen set off the same train about $50,
after they had been over into the Fitch
burg yard. This is the last lis friends have
definitely of his being seen. 1t is probable
that he fell from the Rutland bridge into
the canal on his way home little later, and
if he was seen floating down the canal by
RS. Leonard Goodnow, as she thinks, it
y. zst have been as late as that instead of
4:30 Mr.. Brown and the trainmen are
positive they saw him at work where Mr..
Brown had sent him earlier in the day, and
the train record shows that train did not
reach Bellows Falls until 5:10.

to Boelus and offered for sale at $3.50 per
hundred. Before the deal was closed former
herd boy recognized the cattle and tele-
graphed to Mr.. Sutton at this place. The
delay in the final consummation OF the deal
alarmed the two rustlers and they rode out
of town, leaving the cattle. One of them
sold his pony at Rockville and rode out west
of town with Sam Fletcher, at whose house
he put up for the night. Sheriff Patton ar
rested him before morning and brought him

FREMONT, Neb., June 9.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: In an editorial in the World
Herald OF yesterday noticed an attack upon
Rev. Wayland Hoyt OF Philadelphia, Pa,
which to my mind is unjust in the extreme
| know OF the work OF Mr.. Hoyt, although
do not know the man personally, and to
compare him with Mahomet and to even
suppose that "he would take huge delight
in immerslng in boiling oil all heretics who
refused to accept his peculiar Ideas Of saliva
tion," is ridiculous. l venture to say that
one sermon of Wayland Hoyts will have a
greater influence for good than all the edi-
torials emanating from the pen OF the editor
OF the World Herald 1t is very easy TO find
fault with a man, for in the very editorial
that criticised the statements of Mr.. Hoyt
| notisei that the editor deducted $3.50 from
81 100 in such a manner as to have a balance
of $65000. On this basis | could make a
statement that the editor of the World
Herald has not advanced very far in arith-
metic and that he should be sent back to
the first or second grade OF our public
schools to study mathematics.
II he win read up history he will find that
the missionaries did not Christianize the
world with bullets, but that the bullets
| usually came from the other side and many a
noble man and woman sacrifleced their lives
| in order to bring civilization TO the nations.
II the ruler of the universe desires to use
| a nation to teach a semi-civilized people to
| be decent and not to murder their fellow
| men and burn their houses, what has this
| to do with the Christian missionaries? Did
| we send the United States troops to the
| islands to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ
| or are they there to protect the lives and
property of the peace-loving inhabitants
| And IL band of guerrillas under the lead
| ership Of a swellhead will shoot down peo'
| pie and steal their property 1t is the duty o1
| our soldiers to put down the insurrection.
| But to come back to the statement OF Mr.
| Hoyt which was so severely. criticised, lei
| me ask the editor this question:: "1f Chris
| is not the solution for the difficulties of the
nations, what is? II the Christian religion
| has not brought civilization to the DARK
| continents, what has?"' Will the editor Of
| the World Herald please state If barbarisn
| would be better for the Filipinos than
| stable, Christian government, such as W.
enjoy under the stars and stripes? 1t seem!
| to me that when a heather Is allowed II
| live in a land like ours he ought at feast tt
| behave himself and be thankful IL his breth
| rem are offered the blessings OF civilization
| Our ports swing both ways. II any mar
| dislikes to live under this government he II
| at liberty to depart to climate which II
| more suitable to his makeup. Yours yer!
