The members of Washington and

the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church last evening. The organization
was we'll represented, and the men wore
the regalia of the order and carried n
beautiful silk American flag and the
banners of the respective lodges.
The services were opened with the
singing of a hymn by the congregation,
and prayer was offered by Rev. L. c.

The pastor, Rev. ]. B. Sweet, supple
mented his talk to the members Of the
order by making a patriotic reference to
the American flag. He welcomed the
knights as brothers, as he himself is
a member of the order, and paid Il
glowing tribute to their fraternity and
patriotism. Rev. Sweet spoke along the
lines of the three primal ideas of the
order-ancient, fraternal and religious,
hut did not take any special text for
his address.
He related the history and origin ~
the order and contrasted its age with
the famous landmarks Of days gone by.
It was founded in 104S, and its members
championed tho cause Of Christianity
then as they do today. God used this
organization as "a leverage to pcrpetu-

said, and behind it all are the benefits
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gets Twenty Years at Fort Madison
for Killing of Triton.
Des Moines, Nov. 15.-William Win
slow. convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree for killing Edward Tilton on
the night of Sept. 6, was sentenced yes
terday to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary at Fort Madison at hard labor.
After sentence was pronounced Win
slow stepped up to the bench, requested
the privilege of shaking hands with the
court, which was granted, thinked him
for the consideration shown him in
passing sentence and took his seat.
The case was called at 9 a. m. and
attorneys for the defense were on hand
to argue the motion for a new trial.
This motion seemed largely to be a
matter of form containing only the
usual allegations where it Is desired to
pave the way for an appeal. The argu-
ment was made by Angus Mclaughlin
and was brief. County Attorney Nc
Lehman did not reply. Judge Bishop at
once overruled the motion and. turning
to the counsel for the defense, asked
if there was any reason why sentence
should not be passed at this time. Re-
ceiving a negative answer, the court
asked If the counsel desired to be
heard. Mr.. Mclaughlin talked briefly,
arguing that 1T was evident from the
evidence adduced on the trial of the
case that the defendant had not in
tended to commit the crime of murder,
that he was a young man who had
worked hard all his life for living and
whose dealings, so far as it had been
shown, had always been honorable. He
thought that under the circumstances
the court should impose light sem
tence. Winslow was asked if he had
anything to say and, stepping forward.
said that he believed that in the past
he had led an honorable life. that he
had worked hard for a number of years
to make his living. denied that he was
an habitual drunkard or had ever run
with what is termed the alcohol
gang" He asked that the court be leni-
ent with him.
After the sentence had been pro-
nounced Winslow babe his father,
mother, sister and betrothed good-b bye
and was led back to jail. He will prob
ably be taken to the penitentiary in a
week. His parents seemed to bear up
we'll under the ordeal.

lots. This may signify merely that
more stock is pastured on high and dry
than on low, moist or timbered lands,
and also that buildings are generally
erected on elevated and dry sites. 1t
appears to be certain that isolated trees
in pastures are sources of danger to
stock or persons that seek shelter under
their branches, and it is probably true
that dense groves or heavy timber af-
ford measure of protection against
electric force as we'll as the other ele-
ments of severe storms. The conclusion
of the matter is that the safest retreat
for man or beast during a thunder
storm is in building protected by a
we'll constructed rod or metallic roof.
