REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Ptkfn, ILL.,. Feb. 2s.-Whether Samuel
Moser or the New Amish Church Is morally
guilty OF the murder Of Moser's wife and
partly solved by the Tasewell Circuit Court,
now In session In this city.
Moser has confessed that he committed
the Quadruple crime, but he insists that he
was driven to It BY the prosecutions OF the
church Of which he had been q member, and
he loved and insisted upon caressing the
mambers of his family. He declafes that
the principal offense that he gave his CO.
relgionists was In dandling his baby on
nis knee in the course of religious services.
These prosecutions he says, drove him
from home once; later he was drawn back
BY the love he bore his family. But the
prosecutions continued until his mind be-
came unbalanced because of them. and in
a moment of insanity he murdered his
family and left their bodies to be found by
the neighbors. while he sought safety for
his neck in night.
His wanderings took him to Salt Lake
City, and he was not found there until
after he had made an Intellectual attempt
to kill himself.
CHURCH MEMBERS DENY THE
CHARGES OF MOsER.
The members of the church dispute
Moser's charge that he was prosecuted. They
say tnat whatever degree OF guilt may at
zach to Moser Is his alone, and that neither
the church nor its teaching shares in 1t.
Inc trial has been dragging along for two
weeks, the time up to last Tuesday having
been consumed IN the selection Of jury
ana the disposition of other matters Of
preliminary detail.
The claim of the defense has been thus
stated BY Attorney T. N. Green:
Ihis Is more of trial of the followers
OF the Amish faith as 1t is practiced at the
settlement in Tazewell and Woodford coup-
ties IN this State than 1t L. Of the defend
ant. Their persecution drove Moser to tn
sanity and murder.

Old Home Week.

The State Old Home week association is
sending out letters in which it says:
AS you know, the State Old Home week asso-
citation settled on August l0-l7 as the dates for
Old Home week in Maine this year, Saturday,
the 10th, being selected as the opening day. that
there might be Sunday In Old Home week, on
which day it is hoped clergymen win deliver
appropriate sermons.
II is surprising what enthusiasm the inaugu-
ration of this movement last year aroused, and
nearly if not quite $1,000 of the governors invi-
tations were sent out from different parts OF the
State.
There ia not town IN Maine but what ought
to interest itself In this matter, as tending to
keep up the practice of former residents making
an annual pilgrimage to Maine. and apathy in
the Old Home week movement tends to iniure
not only the success of the affair, but also the
interest of the entire State.
This year the prominent places in the State
which have thus far signifed their intention Of
celebrating the event are Portland, Bath, Rock
land. Gardiner, Waterville, Belfast and Leeds,
with State day in Rockland, Tuesday, August Is.
Portland will undoubtedly arrange to have a
County day on the 18th.

The Example of Christian Lives.

A good cause is helped by the good
lives of it's supporters. Especially true
is this of the gospel cause. A man or
woman in whose daily conduct at
home, in society, in business circles,
the Christian virtues are prominent is
"a living epistle," a living exponent Of
that which is true and helpful. Some
of the humblest people in the world so
far as material possessions are con-
cerned are exerting a wide influence
because of their earnest faith, their
deep love, their constant serving. which
together prove them to be real disciples
of the Master. And when these Chris
tian characteristics are exhibited by
those who occupy positions of promi-
nence, of honor and responsibility, as
is frequently the case. the cause of God
and man is greatly strengthened and
advanced. Christian character as well
as action tells. Christian character in
action counts for most of all.-Univer-
Salist Leader.

GRANITE BUSINESS GOOD.
Not for Years Have Maine Quarries
Been SO Busy


Not for wears in the history OF the
granite industry in Maine has business
been so prosperous as the present season,
and the great qusrries all along the coast
are rushed for orders and have their iuii
complement OF men at work.
From Stoningtou to Clark's Island the
music OF the chisel and hammer, the
thunder OF dynamite explosions, and the
presence OF granite schooners hurryihg
their loads to and froe, are welcome
sights and sounds to the enterprising
jewellers along the coast.
In Stonington the quarries oil John L.
Goss at Crotch and Moose islands, Goss
q Small's, and the new quarry opened at
OceanvilIe by New York parties. are
scenes OF busting activity.
At yinalhaven and Hurricane island
the ouarries are working to their full ca
pacities.
At Spruce Head seventy-five men are
at work. There is just now period OF
midsummer dizziness.
The quarry which is owned by the Bod
we'll granite company has just finished a
big contract for the IL. 10. Flick once
building in Pittsburg, Pa. This building
is to be twenty-five stories in height, and
four stories and the basement will be
constructed OF Spruce Head granite. Mr..
Frick was formerly partner with An
drew Carnegie. This contract was a large
one and at one time $50 men were at work
upon it. They are now at work getting
out granite for the government JOB OF
building the Portsmouth, N. H., dry dock.
At the Clsrk's Island quarries three
hundred men are employed aud business
was never better. This large number OF
men are employed in getting cut stone,
for the approaches and piers for the la5th
street bridge, New York city.
The Importance of this contract can be
estimated when it is stated hat the con-
tract will aggregate 100000. Work was
begun on this contract on April 1 and will
be finished Jan. 1. Besides the building
granite, a large business is being done in
paving stone, and the great yards of the
company are alive with hustiing work

Dear AUNT Madoe:

Dear Aunt Mddqe:
The enclosed poem by Susan Coolidge send
for the NJ. b. column, for part of it, at least Is
so much In keeping with the sentiment ex-
pressed in your heading of July 10, that
thought it might prove interesting to the sisters.
especially If they. like myself, needed your hint
and committed it to memory.
In speaking of the children of today I'm
afraid as regards decorum and respect for elders
we will have TO confess that many of them at
least are degenerating in this respect. OF
course there may be many ideas in regard to the
cause of this and suppose that what you want
is the different ideas expressed.
Well, don't suppose that the children of to-
day are very different in their makeup from
the child of fifty years ago, therefore it seems
to me that If the same influence was brought to
bear upon them as then, see no reason why
they would be so very different from the chill
dren of that day. If this be so, we must con-
fcss that the fault is largely with the parents or
the ones having charge of the child.
We all must admit, think, that 1t is an easier
thing for the parent to pass by child's faults
than to correct them, and think here is the
great reason of the child of to-day coming up
the way SO many do; the parents choose to shut
their eyes to their faults hoping, some time they
may forget or break away from them when
older, forgetting the very true adage "As the
twig is bent, the tree inclines'' and they are
aware the command "Children obey your
parents" is reversed and the parents TO a greater
or less extent find themselves Obliged to obey
the children.
l certainly believe in moral suasion" as long
as 1t works well, but should it not prove effect.
/ nun 81 n fh4a for hat viii
have the best effect should be administered.
The wise man said TRAIN up a child in the way
he should 20. and when he is old he will not
depart from it." and while there may be excep-
tons to this rule, | believe as rule this will
and has been proven true.
Did we all realize the responsibility that rests
upon us always as parents. that of training the
little ones not only for time but eternity, / am
sure VIC would be much more careful, both by
pHecept and example, of the influence that we
exerted upon them. We certainly need notonly
tact, but a great deal of wisdom to always deal
wisely and leave such impressions that may
instil those principles that will make the noble
men and women that all true parents are SO
anxious for their boys and girls to become.
/ hope others will express their opinion on
this subject. for / consider it of great impor.
lance. L send sympathetic greetings to
"Flossie". for 1t must be indeed hard to be con-
fined in bed these intensely hot days. Those OF
us who are able to be ABOUT and enjoy the pure
air, redolent with the perfume of roses, should
consider our blessings and be very thankful.
