Old Style Revivals.
Now 1 expect have grumbled
enough for once, but when you and I
were boys things were often as bad, [
presume, as now; but, brother, you
will remember that now and then we
had all old-fashioned pentecostal re-
vival that seemed to shake heaven and
earth; sinners instead of signing
card or holding up their hands to
signify desire to ego to heaven,'
came weeping to an altar, and often
for hours together they prayed and
were prayed for, until after a while
they "got through and then, Mr..
Editor, you remember the shouts of
victory. I want to see these old times,
at least in substance repeated. And
we will see it if we keep praying and
at work. I am not sticking, sir, for
the form in which this thing comes,
so that we get the substance Of it.
More Prayers.
I wish all editors and preachers
were Christian men, who would begin
the day with prayer and end it with
thanksgiving; what a beginning this
would be to great revival that
would shake all Nebraska
Now propose that you do all that
you can down at Nebraska City, your
end of the line, speak to DR.. Shepherd
the Methodist minister; he is like
Barnabas, "A good man full Of faith
and the Holy Ghost - get him to stir
things up, and if you can get him 60
ing OH the right line he is power.
You thunder the truth at them
through column of The Conserv-
ative, while up here at Lincoln will
pray for the work, and then see
Brother Bryan and Doc Bixby and
Rev. Hindman and others, and some
thing will happen. You know the
promise, am going to keep quoting
it, eff my people, which are called by
nv name, shall humble themselves and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will hear
from heaven, and will forgive their
sins, and will heal their land. -

PLAYED INDIAN WITH REVOLVER
Now One Brother Lies Dying in
North Bergen.

Dying from the wound of a bullet in his
breast, fired by his brother Freddie
Goetz, five years old, son Of Herman
Goetz, lies in his home in Second place,
North Bergen. The shooting occurred last
evening soon after the heavy thunder
storm broke. The boys had teen playing
in the yard, and because OF the storm
were called inside by their mother.
Mr.. Goetz is a baker and works during
the night. This leaves Mrs. Goetz and
her two children alone at night. Last
week an attempt was made to enter the
house by burglars, so Mr.. Goetz purchas-
ed revolver and instructed his wife in
its use.
Yesterday she left it lying on the bu-
reau in her room and forgot it. After be-
ing called into the house the boys wan
Gered into their mothers room, and, find
ing the revolver, began to play with it.
Neither is supposed to have known Its
dangerous character, but both knew what
it was from their experience with cap
pistols on the Fourth of July.
On that day they played Indian with
their toy pistols and last night with the
real article they resumed their play. The
result was that a bullet from the revolver
in the hands of Charles, the elder boy
plowed through the breast of Freddie just
above the heart.

TREASURE SEEKER DEAD
DR.. Galley Was the Inven :
tor Of a Machine to
Discover Gold.
Especial to .The Jersey city News."l

i
MOUNT HOLLY, July IS, 19o0-Dr.
Samuel Galley, homeopathic physician,
who has not been in good health for some
time, was found lying on Garden street
near his home last night little before
II o'clock. Physicians and other assist
ance were summoned and the unfortunate
man carried to his home, only a short
distance away, but he died in a short
time. Apoplexy is believed to have been
the cause of death. Deceased leaves a
wife and daughter
DR.. Galley came into prominence few
years since by inventing machine for
locating gold. Apparently it was quite
successful, and to engage in the business
largely he sold out his practice to DR..
Farringer. The doctor made several pub
lie tests of his indicator, inviting promi-
nent citizens to witness it's performance,
hoping thereby to enlist the interest of
some persons who would be willing to put
capital in the venture The little instru-
ment, which is filled with a substance re-
sembling gold filings, is considered Won
derful piece of mechanism, and it is said
that one hundred of them were made
before a satisfactory one was secured 1t
is said to locate gold buried three feet
in the ground two or three miles away.
the distance regulated by the quantity of
gold. Those who are experts in handling
the machine can tell, 1t is claimed, wheth-
er it is drawing on gold or silver. as it
is used to locate either. 1t will give the
depth, width or length of vein of ore,
it is furthered claimed, and it will slso
point out any treasure in water thirty
foa of icta yiyo me
to five miles. There is no magnetism
about it. Inquiries concerning it have
been received from all part of the West.
William Anderson, colored man, had
hand in getting up this machine, and
with it the two claimed to have located
Captain Kidds chest of gold in the Della
ware River some three years ago, near
Eddington. They felt sure they had found
the treasure and made plans for its re-
covery. They formed a company, admit
ting into membership a Bristol coal mer-
chant and an employee of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company. With the capital
in hand they secured scows and all that
was necessary to raise the strong box
which held the gold. A Philadelphia diver
was employed to search the bottom of
the river. He found the box, he said, and
after making it fast with ropes, those on
the scow tugged away to bring it to
the surface Just as it got to the top OF
the water it shifted and down it went
again. After that the diver said he could
not find it again. DR.. Galley was always
of the opinion that divers came there at
night and took the treasury away other
tests made would not reveal the presence
of the gold.
After these operations the doctor raised
some capital and went to Mcdowell coun-
ty, North Carolina, where he leased a
piece of land and with lot of machinery
began to dig for gold from the abandoned
fields of the South. He was not successful,
so he returned home and again engaged
in the practice of his profession.

pRUDENTIAL'S BUSY SEASON.
Over 800 Death Claims Paid in the
First Nine Days of July.

During the severe hot weather at the
beginning of July, when the thermometer
was soaring in the neighborhood of 100
degrees, the clerks in the home
offices of the big life insurance COM
panies were kept busy recording and pay
ing death claims, which were coming into
the offices at a great rate This was
especially true of the companies which
conduct an industrial or weekly-pay-
ment business, many of the policy-hold-
ers being of the poorer or middle class
During the first nine days in July The
Prudential Insurance Company of Ameri-
ca alone paid nearly 800 death claims,
where the policy-holders had died from
sunstroke although the average of that
company for any whole year since 1881,
was only 102 cases.
On one single day, July 9, The Pruden-
tial also paid 200 more Industrial claims
than it ever paid before on any one day,
the total being GAG claims and the amount
of money paid out running up to nearly
$50, 900.
The majority of these deaths were due
to the intense heat, or from disorders
brought on, or severely aggravated, by
the hot weather. In the larger cities
about one-half of the policies paid on the
above mentioned date were cases of heat
victims. For example, in New York City
SS claim were paid on heat cases out of
total of Il cases; in Brooklyn there
were so heat victims out of IS death
claims paid; while in Philadelphia "A out
of "A claims were paid, on people who had
died from the heat
In seven large cities, out of S05 claims
paid, 1853 were on heat victims. These are
insurance facts worthy for people to re-
member and to the man or woman who
would procrastinate, the answer is plain:
If you're healthy now, insure now.

Board Of Pardons Meets

in Jail.
Especial to ..Ilas Jersey city News.,.l

TRENTON, July IS, 1901-The Board Of
Pardons finisheds stheir June term yester-
day afternoon after an all7day session, In
which they acted favorably on twenty
seven applications of all kinds. There was
but one absolute pardon. There were no
paroles for this county.
j. L. Semple made strenuous efforts,
as usual, for the release of Barney
o'Neil, the Atlantic City cabman, but
as he was unable to present anything
new in the case the board refused to take
it up again. Prominent politicians in
this State and Pennsylvania have petit
toned for the pardon of O'Neil.
Mr.. Semple also tried to get the six
Camden liquor dealers, who were con-
victed of selling on Sundays, released.
He said they were bing punished for
what he authoritise permitted in several
places in the State. The application was
laid over, exceut in the case of one who is
rapidly failing in health. He is Walter
Hubbs who is an old man. His release
was based on the certificate of a physician
as to his health.
James Van Arden was paroled and will
go back to Morris county, where he was
sentenced for murder in the second de-
gree. 1t was charged that he killed cam
al boatman. The two We're on a spree on
the boat and in the morning the boatman
was found dead, due to gunshot wounds.
Van Arden always said that he knew
nothing about the death of the man, ana
that if he had killed him while drunk it
was the result of an accident in handling
the gun. He was sentenced in 1888 for
twenty years.
Francis Cook of Somerset, who in 1891
shocked the community by an assault on
a farmer, with intent to kill, for which he
was sentenced for seventeen years, was
paroled

ty were:-
