District Sunday school Convention.


The tenth animal convention of the
White River District Sunday School as
| sociation was held in the First Cong'l
church Oct. Both, 1900.
The convention opened at 10:45 a. M,
with devotional service ;the key thoug ht
was, !" The place OF prayer is the place o!
power"
In the absence OF the president the sec
retary called upon the former president
to preside. Minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
An afterglow from the state Sunday
school association was brought by Secre-
tsry F. w. Hazen.
"Wsnted: More time, thought and
heart in Sunday school work" was the
! title of Ernest W. Chase's address. He
urged US to give Sunday school work its
true value, namely, soul work. Miss
Metcalfs paper on ''The Sunday school a
school OF religion was read by Mrs.
Carleton Hazen and its whole tone was
that the teacher should be a soul seeker
The deaconess work is largely analogous
to the work of the Sunday school teacher,
so thought Miss Millie Martin; hence,
work first for the Master, next for others
and last for self.
At about p: Is all were invited to a well
served dinner provided by the ladies OF
the Methodist, Universalist and Cong'l
churches, and most enjoyable social
UOuT iolAOWtus
The afternoon session opened with
song service which was well rendered by
the choir.
The reports Of committees followed. the
most notable one being G strong protest
against any change in the existing tenn
peranee law.
The statistical report OF the secretary
evoked much interest and is sure to in
cite much earnestness-it clearly indicat-
ed that not any OF the schools had yet
reached the ideal.
The address, "Exactness in teaching"
by Rev. F. r. Adams may be summarilY
expressed in the sentence, Christ -centered.
The address Of Rev. Geo. l. Story, field
secretary OF the Vermont Sunday school
association, is best reported In the Apos-
tie Paul's words: "For other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ"
The convention closed after a solo by
Miss Miliie Martin which was rendered
in the spirit OF the Master, inspiring us
ell to more complete consecration TO the
Christ "whose we are and whom we
serve"

Chicago, Oct. 10.-WHEAT-The wheat
market has been rather a disappointment
to holders today. The opening was at
about previous closing prices and after
small Hquidations on the part Of locals
there was some absorption by the com
mission houses, which caused a slight
rally. The news has been of a bullish
character. Good demand for cash wheat.
aobut half million being taken here for
shipment while the seabOard claimed an
excellent inquiry from ca broad. The clear
ances were about 355, 900 bushels. Toward
the close cable was reported from Ar
gentine. stating that damage was being
done by frosts, but the liquidation was 50
heavy that little note was taken Of it.
1t would appear to US that this decline
mand increasing and a probable let up in
the good weather north with a fair-sixed
short interest, should give US higher
values.
CORN-Corn opened steady, but there
was an absence of outside trade Very
little doing in OctOebr the bull interests
not in evidence. Shipments from here
large and will continue 50, hence no in
day not very brisk, perhaps 200 900 bu.
sold SeabOard reported 70 loads taken
There Is not much in market to affect
values either way at the moment.
OATS-Oats have been easy with corn.
Shippers were good buyers and there was
an excellent cash demand. Receipts 242
cars with 275 estimated for tomorrow.
Government report today will announce
yield per acre.

KILLED HIS WIFE
And Now Trying to Collect Insurance
on Her Life

And Now Trying to Collect Insurance
on Her Life.
Philadelphia, Oct 10.=A suit to re-
cover insurance on the life of his wife
whom he killed on December 81, 1898,
has been commenced in this city by Prof
Swithin c. Shortlidge who is now re-
siding at Kennett Square, in Chester
county. The suit which is to recover
the sum of s7,O22 from the Provident
Life & Trust company is one of the most
remarkable in the history of life in
surance- The tragedy which ended the
life OF Mrs ShOrtlfdge was enacted in
Media on a New Years eve and caused
a great sensation. Several years before
that date Prof. Shortlidge had come to
Media with his wife and family and
established what was known as the
Media academy for young men For
several years the venture was success
full, the school having a. high class
patronage. Then Mrs. Shortldge died.
In November, 1898, Prof Shortlidge
married Miss Marie Dixon Jones Short
" after his second marriage the pro-
fesSOr began to act strangely. On the
night of the killing, six weeks after the
marriage, Prof Shortlidge invited his
wife-tO go out with him for a walk a
short distance from the house he shot
her through the heart and then attempt
ed suicide but was disarmed by a neigh
Dor.
In the trial which followed Prof. Short
hdge was acquitted on the ground of in
sanity and was confined in an asylum
until a. year ago. There is no case of
parallel nature in the insurance annals
OF this state. A life insurance man re-
called a case which occurred at Sedalia,
Mo, several years ago, but which does
not establish a precedent for the present
suit by reason of its sudden and tragic
ending. A saloonkeeper in that city in
sured the life of his wife for 5000 and
then in a rage killed her by forcing a
redhot poker down her throat. He was
put on trial for his life and after a
fierce legal battle was acquitted on a
technicallity.
After his acquittal he sued the life in
surance company and SO far as law was
concerned he had it entirely on his side.
Public feeling had been wrought to such
a pitch, however. that no jury could be
found to give the murderer z. verdict and
finally the indignant citizens ended the
matter by taking the plaintiff out and
hanging him to q tree

New York. Oct 1O.-The market is de-
veloping considerable irregularity and I'M
certainty. Traders on both sides appear
to be easily scared. The bulls run to IN
load when ever the situation shows any
cover upon the first sign of an advance.
Neither party is quite sure of its posls ion
to shore as possible. If more interest
was shown in the market by the public,
there would be a different state Of affa rs,
but with speculation OF the purely protes-
SiOnal order, very little can be accomp-
hshed by those who seek TO estabnsh
higher range OF values Ihere IS no par
ticular pressure to sell stocks nor is there
any great rush to buy them. Room trad
ers are inclined to take a bearish view Of
things, but it is doubtful if they viii be
able to keep stocks down, in case the bull
paign. Intending buyers of stocks don't
like the advancing tendency of the money
market. The supply of loanable funds is
growing less and it is now almost certain
per cent inside of another week. The i'm
portant question at the moment is what
will the banks do in regard to outstanding
loans on speculative Securities If they
insist upon their being liquidated. the
market value of these securities will ex-

asserted that if the result of the election
is satisfactory to Wall street. the indus
trial stocks will enjoy a decided boom
the biggest bargain in the industrial
group. It should be bought as an invest
ment because of the liberal dividend,
which it pays. AS long as this stock con
tinues to draw per cent there will be
no risk in buying it at current quotations.
The talk of dividend on Mo. Pac. is again
being revived, but no attention should be
paid to it. There is no dividend from
present appearances, it viii be long time
before one viii be paid Local sentiment
is very bearish on Peoples Gas. and the
prediction was made last night by spe-
cialist in the stock that it would sell at
so within week The pool in Manhat-
tan is making fair progress. They will
try to force the price to par, and should
succeed. unless market strikes a very
weak spot and upsets present plans.

WATCH COFFEE
And Watch It Carefully.

Any brain worker that depends on
thought for his success in life, uses up
daily. by brain work, varying amount
of the delicate particles of phosphate Of
potash and albumen of which the brain
and nerve centers are composed.
The fine, microscopic particles of
phosphate of potash are found in guam
titles in the pores of the skin after the
brain has been used actively. This must
be replaced from food, or brain fag and
nervous prostration sets in.
This breaking down of the little cells
each day. from brain work alone, is a.
natural process, and the cells can read
lily be built from the right sort OF food
drugs, but if an increased amount of
cells are broken down by the use Of
coffee, trouble then begins.
Frequently it first shows in dyspep-
STA, lack of power Of the bowels to op-
crate properly, or palpitation of the
heart or some other lack of vitality and
healthy vigor. There is but one thing
for a sensible man or woman to do
quite coffee absolutely Hard to do
you say. Take up Postum Food Coffee
it tastes good You will find a we'll
defined, unmistakab1e change in your
health. and there is a reason for it.
You have become free from the break
ing down force of coffee, and on the
other hand you are taking a. powerful
nourishing LIQUID food which quickly re-
builds the new cells These are facts
profound facts, ready for any one to
prove to their own satisfaction by &C
tual use Postum Food Coffee is made
at the famous pure food factories of
the Postum Cereal Co, Ltd. Battle
Creek Mich, and is used by brain
workers all over the world. Don't call
il a substitute for coffee; leave out
the coffee proposition altogether. Pos
tum is q liquid food and a true food
drink.
