The st. Joseph Mans Way
of Settling Contempt
Cases

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o--Judge
Spencer of st. Joseph, Mo, general
counsel for the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad, will be a
candidate for the Senate to sue
coed Mr.. Vest. Judge Spencer
has been in Washington for the
past ten days, and the news of his
intentions has leaked out since his
arrival.
st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan 2j.--The
announcement of the candidacy of
Judge Spencer for the Senate re-
calls story about him when he
was circuit Judge. Stephen ).
Brown, IA lawyer practicing at the
bar, had made some remarks which
Judge Stephens considered insui-
ting, during the trial of a case.
Judge Spencer never fined a law
yer for contempt, during the whole
time he was on the bench. He
had a method of his own for deal
ing with such cases. After the
trial he called Brown up in front
OF the bar.
steve he said, "you made a
remark while ago in which |
think you intended to insult me.
Was that your intention?"
"YOur honor" said Brown,
but Spencer stopped him.
"You needn't address me ms
'vour honor, " he said. "This is
not u case of that kind. Right
now | am just Spencer, and If you
intended to insult me, just walk
in the next room and I'll fight it
out in less than two minutes.
Brown said he intended no in.

Eggs for All Ills.

For countless ages the long suf-
fering hen has been an over worked
creature. Her humble occupation
of laying eggs has been her little
glory, and yet she has never COM
planned. She has cheerfully per-
formed her duties, aud when old
age has incapacitated her for furth-
er usefulness as al egg producer
she has accepted with fOrtitude
her fate as the central figure in the
homely potpie or the enigmatical
boarding house stew. But it is rs
apatient layer of eggs that her
life work is best known.
Now, however, fame promises
to perch on her brow, and her
faithfulness of duty is about to be
rewarded. A French chemist has
discovered that hens can not only
digest iron easily, but that it is
transmitted to the albumen in
their eggs. In his experiments he
has given salt of iron to hens with
their regular diet of cracked wheat
aud has found that they produce
eggs highly impregnated with
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1900-02-01

a health prolu:ing propert y,
which is in turn readily digested
by the human stomach. The
Frenchman is said to be eXrerr
mentin in similar manner with
other drug notably pep,in ANA
mai gauese.
Here are untold possbi,tie, for
the hen. She may eventna y
drive the manufacture OF pills and
powders ont Of business entirely.
If we have dy pep,ia the hen will
ay an egg for Il, that will cause us
to feel at peace with all the world.
If our liver is torpid there will be
an egg for that. For II bad cold
take an egg impregnatsd with
quinine. In fact the usual query:
SLOW will you have your eggs this
morning?.' will assume quite new
Importance. The time may not be
far distant when, instead of having
family physician, all that will be
necessary will be to keep hen.

WHY ENGLAND REJoIoEs.


AS the details OF the British victory
at Mafeking become known, It appears
that the reyerses OF the Beers at that
place are equal to, II not worse than,
any Of the previous disasters met with
A great number Of Beers were cap
tured. and among others, Elon, the
grandson OF President Kruger The
moral impression upon the burghers
By this severe defeat seems to be very
demoralizlng. They are fleeing panic
stricken. from Pretoria. and It Is
question whether they are willing TO
rally for another stand,
Mafeklng is not a place Of much
strategic Importance. II was the frst
TO be lnclosed by the invading Beers.
When the latter had TO withdraw from
Ladysmith and Kimberley, the contest
for Mafeking became one Of honor,
rather than Of material advantage.
The besieglng army made many as
saults. some Of them well planned and
very violent. But the British re-
sisted.
There was more Joy IN England over
the victory at Mafeking than over any
Of the other triumphs recorded. Prob
ably one little circumstance may ac-
count for this. The town was relieved
almost on the exact date set for that
event by Lord Roberts That serves
to inspire perfect confidence in him.
Il indicates that he knows exactly
what he is doing. and that he is calcu-
lating every detail OF the campaign
with mathematical precision. This
gives ground for the expectation that
the final outcome Of the war win be the

A CASE IN CHICAGO,

This city Is not the only one where the
police al times take It upon themselves
to make laws and 20 execute them at
the same time.
The story is told about a young chi
cago woman who was arrested IN that
city and detained at the station for Six
DAYS. There was no charge against her.
Her family were in ignorance Of her
whereabouts, and supposed she had
been murdered. For a whole week she
was thus kept a prisoner without the
slightest Justification in either law or
common sense.
The suppositlon was that the girl
knew something about diamond rob
berry. but there was no reasonable
ground for the suspicion nor was any
information extorted from the girl dur
ing her Incarceration. II is said the IA
Their Of the young lady proposes TO make
It interesting for the police And he

gal fight, for the people understand
that the FIRST duty OF a servant OF the
law Is 10 keep that law invlolate.
American travellers abroad may have
noticed the arbitrary power exercised
by the police officers OF seml-barbarous
countries. But the tyranny exercised

MISSIONARY METHODS.

A contributor to the May Chautau-
guam, Mr.. Hugh Cork, tells about an
EFFORT that has been made in sNme OF
the larger cities to reach the population
that does not attend churches, By means
OF house-to-house visits
In Philadelphia. for instance this
work was carried on by the Sunday
School association. The city was d.
vided into eighteen districts subdiyided
into one hundred and thirty-scven sub
districts. none Of which were larger
than from four TO six blocks square, eX-
cept on the outskirts Of the city where
the territory was practically country.
For each Of these one hundred and thir-
ty-seven subdistricts a person was very
carefully chosen to prepare the work
for the visitation day and to direct the
visitors. The churches were aroused
10 furnish visitors by weekly letters to
pastors. Sunday school superintendent
and the presidents OF the young peoples
societies. and the general public was
prepared for the work by items pub
llshed IN the daily papers.
When their work was ended, II was
found tina, 1881 visits had been made
by 4,eO9 workers The report shows
that OF the families visited, 75.l90 were
TO Catholics. 2S.s0i TO Methodists, 1.O75
to Presbyterlans, 3o1a TO Episcopali-
ans. 27.293 10 Baptists. S.53S 10 Jews,
6223 to Reformed, and so on down un'
I'll we find thirty-one Atheists ten
"Mormons," and one Mohammedah,
while l7SSs had mo preference" and
$3.50 refused information"
The idea seems 10 have been, By this
means, to reach some OF the millions
IN this country who refuse TO Identify
themselves with the Sunday schools and
the churches. and It Is believed the re-
suit was TO arouse an interest in the
work Of the churches.
Great anxiety has been felt lately In
clerical circles about the staenation evil
dent IN some Of the churches. The
missionary work Of the Mormon FL
dcrs has often been pointed TO as a
pattern worthy Of imitation, and II
may be presumed that this house-to-
house visit Is an experiment TO ascer-
tain what other churches can do by
such systematic work. But our Protes-
tant friends should not be TOO sanguine
Of success attending that work. Cor
rect methods are, no doubt, Of great
Importance, but It is stiil more impcrt-
ant to have a genuine message to deliv,
er to the world. Without that what
does house toulouse canvass amount
tor And It is in this respect that
Professionalism Is weak. The canyassers
have no other message than have the
occupants OF the pulplts. Why should
the effect Of a private visit be difiaren,
from that OF a public discourse. when
the novelty IS worn on?
In a New York dispatch Il Is stated
that the Christian Citizenship League
recently sent 20 number Of represen-
tatiye men the question whether the
church IS Christian Among the re-
plies received was one from Dr. Heber
Newton. OF An Souls church He re-
piled an emphatic no" He explained
his belief that the teachings OF the
churches are, Tor the most part, far
from following those Of the Nazarene,
and the ecclesiastical organizations
