WAYS OF CANDIDATE WELD.
Strange Attempt to Curry Favor With
.the Enemy"

II strange attempt 90 Eofof
1.-The Enemy
Harold A Weld, republican candi-
date for states attorney, has COM
menced early upon his campaign, and
those who have been made the first
objects of his efforts to curry favor
doubtless feel proud of the distinc-
ton, especially when it is recalled
how widely at variance with his pres
ent course have been Mr.. Yields in
clinations heretofore. Though al
ways regarded as pronounced in his
opposition to the liquor traffic. he has
been since the late convention offer
ing the assurance to those in the sa-
loon business, and to those who have
an influence among those so engaged,
that he has no sympathy with the OPP
position to the saloons; that he has
sense enough TO realize that town
like Rock Island. situated directly
opposite place like Davenport, must
of necessity be wide Open" and that
if he is elected states attorney, he
will let the office run-well, just as
Searle has run ito apply Mr.. Yields
own expression. This is the argu-
ment that is being used by the repub-
lican candidate to make friends for
the sake of their votes with class of
business men that he has never had
any use for.
There is no reason to criti-
else Mr. Yields course heretofore in
his honest convictions, or to take ex-
ception to his tendencies or affiliations
in the furtherance of any line of pub
lie policy, but his present attitude is
regarded naturally as somewhat re-
markab!e even for republican politi-
clan.

THE FANATICS, LED BY A WOMAN ARMED WITH A POKER, BEAT
ING A VICTIM OF ANA BAPTISM TO DEATH.

dering it completely unbalanced his
mind in religious matters. On Friday,
March 2, twenty-seven of the brethren
and sisters assembled at Scherf's farm
house for devotional exercises. The
new Messiah discoursed first on arti-
cles of faith and sacraments and then
began to read to his hearers all those
passages from the Old Testament that
deal with bloodshed and violence. Hav-
ing thus iniamed the minds of his
audience he delivered a violent ha-
rangue against infant baptism, which
he called a crime, advocating at the
same time that grown people who
join them must be baptized anew in
the spirit of God, while those who re-
fuse to join them must die. The bod
les of children already baptized he de-
clared to be the abode of the evil one
and wound up his TRADE by asking in
a terrible voice: What shall be done

Hints for the Table.

Rapid eating is slow suicide. Plenty
of time should be taken. Fish and oys-
tiers are easily digested. An hour or
two of rest should be taken after the
meal. Mere qualification of the appe-
title is very likely to shorten life. Din
ner should be of a lighter nature in
summer than in winter. A quart of
wheat contains more nutriment than
a bushel of cucumbers. There is a hap
Ply mean between eating everything
and being squemish. 1t is not good to
dine when in a state of mental or phys
ical weakness. Two pounds of pota-
toes contain as much nutriment as
thirteen pounds of turnips. Light
soups, light desserts and light meats
should have the preference in warm
weather. Abuse of the stomach at din
ner will be repaid sooner or later by
that punishment which comes to the
glutton. Vegetables and fruits are to
be used most generously at that sea-
son of the year in which they natural
ly mature.

Witnesses say that the man was not
even asked to join the sect; the fanat-
les began at once to abuse him for
harboring the devil. The poor fellow,
suddenly reused from sleep, and none
too bright at best, didn't know how to
defend himself, and finally, seeing
himself threatened on all sides, knelt
down and prayed to God for mercy.
This Scherf pronounced as one of Sa-
tan's ruses. Crying, 1--WE must not let
the devil escape SO cheaply," he dealt
the old man a terrific blow with a
piece of gaspipe, knocking him in
sensible. The brethren and sisters
fell upon their knees after this deed
of violence and sang a hymn, but
when in the midst of it the sight of
poor Brinkman's blood revived their
savage instincts.

Department Stores in germany.

The department store tax bill as laid
before the Prussian landtag divides
retailers into four classes. They may
sell either groceries, liquors, tobaccos
and chemicals or dry goods and cloth
ing or furniture and household utensils
or cutlery, jewelry, art goods, station
cry and musical instruments, without
paying the department store tax. But
shops combining these different classes
must pay a graduated tax, provided
their annual sales exceed SOC, 900
marks. Starting with $500 marks for
annual sales of 100000, the tax in
to 10000 for sales of 1000 900.
Then it ADDS 1000 for each additional
