In this event, which brings hope to all
concerned, the detectives rejoice and work
on In five days since the assault they
have learned these facts: That Mrs
Dennis was struck in the head and badly
beaten. between the hours OF midnight
and 5 O'Clock last Tuesday morning; that
either the top OF plano stool or other

by an unknown assailant.

This Is an Altogether
Nice and Lovely Creed.

6. Marriage should be annulled as
being artificial and unnatural.
Z. There should be no associations,
churches or lodges, as these have
laws that bind and fetter the men,
bers.
8. A. man must take no oath or
make any false pledge, other than to
himself, else he is bound to another.
8. He must not become a citizen of
any, country, as that would be sane
tioning the government and its institu-
tions, which are all artificial and
wrong.
10. All property should be destroy
ed, as that implies law which desig-
mates what belongs to one man and
what to another
II. There is no such thing as mur-
der, theft or lust, as these names
spring merely from our artificial
modes of life and thoughts.

Some time ago a German paper
printed what the editor stated was
a copy Of the creed of the anarchists
of the world. The German paper had
received Its information from paper
printed in an anarchist settlement
lit New York. Prof. j. b. Mohler has
made a faithful translation of the
German. The creed thus reads
/. There is no God, Judgment day
or human soul.
2. There should be no civil ruler
or law.
8. Society should be disorganized
and return to nature.
4. The only happiness is in a state
of nature, living as do the animals
and savages in their native haunts.
8. There should be, therefore, uni
versal free-love, as is the case with
animals.

position that the entire smash in AmaIga-

In support of the latter theory, it is said
