FUNCTION OF THE PRESS
REPORTER AND PASTOR TALK IN
LATTER'S PULPIT.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. &.--George-
F. Grassie, a reporter on one of the Mill
waukee daily newspapers, occupied the
pulpit Of Plymouth Congregat tional
church, in which he discussed THE
Ethical Side of the Newspaper Busi-
ness" or 1.-The Philosophy of theNews-
paper
Mr. CRASHES address was in reply to
one delivered by the regular pastor OF
the church, the Rev. Judson Ellsworth
on ''What Preacher Thinks of a News
paper The preacher thought the news
paper was influenced by too much COM
,merical spirit and thought the time was
soon coming when the editor would be
guided by more altrustic spirit. and
then the influence of his paper already
great would be greater.
Mr. Grassie started out by quoting
several passages from the Bible, coup
ling with them the words: "Know Thy
self" In learning to know himself. man
must learn to know everything which
in any way influences his life, the speak
er contended, and it was within the
province of the newspaper, to teach
man to know himself by printing the
news and everything that was truth,
was news. In brief, Mr. Grassie said:
"It is the duty of the newspaper TO help
the average citizen to know himself, TO
interest him in what is going on about
min, to give him just enough goodness
and Just enough badness, just enough
religion and just enough atheism, just
enough spirituality and just enough
pugilism, to keep him interested, and to
thus make him know himself and in
cidentally to sell the paper"

FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
Pittsburg Also Has n Mysterious
Death to Explain.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 2S.-The mystery
connected with the finding of the body of
Miss Seghmeyer floating in the Ohio river
opposite Glenfield yesterday, deepens as
investigation proceeds. Miss Seghmeyer,
who was twenty-eight years old, and of
good family, left the home of her moth
er at Glenfeld, Oct 10, to visit an aunt
at Sewickley. The mother, supposing
her daughter was with the aunt, sus-
pected nothing wrong until the body
was found. She says there was no
known cause why her daughter should
commit suicide. She was a faithful
member of church, engaged to be mar
ried, and apparently very happy.
Foul play in the case is suspected by
the fact that the body of the young
woman was found in the water on the
opposite side of the river from her home,
while the stage of the water since her
disappearance has been so low that it
would be almost impossible for the cur
rent to carry the body across the stream.
In addition to this, the face and head of
the victim was badly battered, so much
so that the men who took the corpse
from the river failed to recognize Miss
Seghmeyer, though they had been ac-
quainted with her for years. The cor
oner is making a searching investiga-
ton.

CHISlGO COUNTY SENSATION
ECHO OF A SUIT FOR SANDER
BROUGHT AGAINST SAMUEL
G. JOHNSON
LATTER CLAIMS DECEPTION
Alleges That the Information He
Gave to EImquist, as His At
tOrney, Was Given
Away.

CHARLES Elmquist, lawyer of Rush
City, has been summoned to appear in
the supreme court Wednesday and an
swer charge of unprofessional conduct
In connection with a proposed slander
case. The order was signed by Chief
Justice Start last Wednesday, and ac-
cording to dispatch from Rush City
had been served on Attorney Elmquist.
This action against Attorney Elmquist,
1t seems, is ali echo of an action brought
some time ago by Conrad C. landmark
against Samuel c. Johnson for 81, 500 for
alleged slander. Mr.. johnson was made
the defendant in the suit, and alleges
that as his prospective attorney Mr..
Elmquist learned what he knew about
the case and that the information was
used to his disadvantage. The present
action is brought with view of disbar-
ring Mr.. Elmquist from the practice of
law or otherwise censuring him.
SUBSTANCE OF COMPLAINT.
The petition which Chief Justice Start
signed summoning Charles Elmqust to
appear before him sets forth the allega-
tions that S. G. Johnson is resident of
Chisago county, and that Charles Elm
quist is an attorney -at-law practicing at
Rush City. Mr. johnson alleges that
prior to Aug. 81 Elmquist represented to
him that he was not in any way con-
nected with Conrad landmark in certain
proposed litigation against Mr.. Johnson.
This itiga ton consisted in an action by
landmark wherein landmark accused
Johnson of having slandered him in say
ing that Lindmark had burned the john
son block at Rush City, which was de-
stroyed by fire in February of this year.
Mr.. Johnson alleges that he called upon
Attorney Elmquist with a view of con-
sulting him with reference to the pro-
posed action and asked him if he was
in any manner connected with landmark,
and Elmduist said he was not, nor was
he interested in any way.
CONSULTED ELMQUIST
Mr.. johnson says he then consulted
Elmquist and laid bare his whole de-
fense, and alleges that at the time he
laid bare his defense that Elmquist was
employed by Lindmark to secure this
very information for his use
Mr.. Johnson alleges further that all.
the information he gave Attorney ElTp-
quist was used to his discontinue in
connection with the suit for s25S0e0
brought against him In the district court
of Ghisago county. Finally, the petition
alleges that Attorney Charles Elmquist
has been guilty of decefving, which is
unjustifiable and not allowed by law,
and he asks that Elmquist be dealt with
according to law.

Minister to Venezuela Resents Dis
patch From MinneapOIis.

SPRINGFIELD. O., Oct 28.-Francis 3.
Loomis, minister to Venezuela, is here
visiting at the home of Mrs. Loomis and
will remain until the latter part of next
month.
Referring to a dispatch from Minneapo-
lis, in which it was stated by an employe
of the Orinoco company that a concession.
conveying the right of that corporation to
exploit ten million acres of land in Vene-
zuela had been annulled through the fail
ure of the American legation to protest
against hostile action on the part of the
Venezuelan government, Mr. Loomis said
tonight:
1.-THE official of the Orinoco COMPANY.
who criticises the American legation at
Caracas is under a Misrepresentation as to
the usages sanctioned by international
law and the functions of diplomatic Off
GERS. The trouble between the Orinoco
company and the government arises from
disputes as to the construction of a con-
tract. There can be no action on the part
of the United States legation in contract
claims until a denial of justice In the
courts of that country has taken place.
This affair Of the Orinoco company has
pever IN any way been brought to the at
3ention OF the legation and when 1t is
