No act of hostility was committed until
the procession reached point three miles
from the beach. Then several of the
warriors closed around the white men
and the native students and with uplift-
ed clubs intfmated that the visitors were
prisoners. At this demonstration two of
the converts tainted through sheer
fright, and another youth, In a wild pan
ic of fear, tried to break through the
circling line of savages. He was brutal

horrible fate that had been treacherous-

number of huts, the normal population

a hundred, but there was assembled an
army of men, at least 500 in number, ap-

CHARACTER OF CHALMERS.
The life and character of the lev. Jas.
Chalmers, the best-known of the MUIR
dered missionaries, was thus epitomized
by the Sydney Morning Herald:
flames Chalmers was to Western New
Guinea what David Livingstone was to
the tribes of Central Africa what Bishop
Pateson was to the South Sea Islanders,
or what Father Damien was to the I'M
happy beings amongst whom his lot was
cast. The work which Mr.. Chalmers did
as an explorer would have been enough
distinction for any man; but that was
not his life work. Signally gifted with
powers of endurance and, above all
things, inspired by a sense of the great
ness of his mission, he esteemed no sac
rif1ce too great, no effort too exhausting,
If by any means he could spread the
light of Christianity and civilization in
the dark places of the earth. His sin
certify and earnestness, and his strenu-
GUS endeavors carried him through where
other men might have failed. His praise
Is in all the churches, and men who have
belonged to no religious organization
have borne testimony to the beauty Of
the mans character and to the excellence
Of the work which he did in his long
years Of missionary travelling to and

WARM TIME AMONG LEAeuERs.
Judge Acres of DEBORAH Talks to Anti.
SaIoonistS.

Des Moines, Aug. 29.-When Judge
E. R. Acres of DEBORAH announced to
the anti-saloon league that he intend
ed to cast his vote at the election this
fall for A. B. Cummins, he was Kissed
by the members present. Cries of
Shame, mo, no." and other demon
strations of this kind greeted this
statement, and it was necessary for
Mr.. Abrams to arise to a point of or
der and ask that the speaker be per-
mitter to finish his address without in
terruption.
Judge Acres, who has formerly been
a leading democrat in northwestern
Iowa, and who only recently renowned
the party, was on the program to de-
liver an address upon THE Temper
ance Laws of Iowa and How to En-
force them"
Judge Acres gave the members of
the Anti-Saloon league something to
thing about He warmly defended the
mulct law, claiming it to be the best
possible legislation in the state for
the cause Of prohibition. Search the
statute books of the other states" he
declared defiantly, "and show me a
better law. There is none. Prohibi-
ton is not repealed by the mulct law.
The supreme court has decided that it
is not repealed and the legislature has
said that it has never repealed the
prohibitory law. 1t is ten times hard
err to run assaloon in the sixty-six coun-
ties of Iowa where consent petitions
have not been secured as it was in the
days of prohibition. Why the magni,
tude of the penalties under the mulct
law is something enormous. never
think about it but | wonder how it
ever happened that the temperance
people secured such a law at all. A
judge who can sit upon the bench and
inflict the bull penalties of the mulct
law must have heart as hard as that
of Chinese Idol. Why the saloons
could not exist in any county in this
state today contrary to law if there
were just enough determined men tt
take the matter in hand and make g

are afraid to do anything | say tc
you that the most pressing need of the
temperance cause is not new legisla
ton, but the need of enforcement o.
the laws now on the statute books.

NEW CANON ON DIVORCE.
Episcopal Church Convention is Elk.
pected to Pass One.

Ottumwa Episcopalians in common
with others of that faith are interested
in the fact that the church is prepar-
ing for one of. the most important
meetings of its legislative body-the
general convention of the church. The
convention will meet in San Francisco
on Oct. 2. 1t is expected that it will
remain in session for three weeks, dur
ing which time an attempt will be
made to revise the canons of the
church.
Most important of these revisions
proposed is that relating to marriage
and divorce. The law which it is ex-
pected the convention will pass will
forbid absolutely an Episcopal priest
from performing the marriage cere-
mony if either the man or the woman
has been divorced.

AFTER DYNAMlTERs.
Men Killing Fish at Burlington Four
Mile Bridge.

The Burlington authorities are hot
after two men and two women, who
have been dynamiting for fish at the
four mile bridge, west OF this city The
matter will probably be taken before
the grand jury, and indictments re.
turned What makes the Burlington
people SO greatly interested is the fact
that the fishermen explode their dyna,
mite directly under that company's
bridge and it is feared that the struc-
ture will be damaged by the explosion.
Hundreds of pounds of fish are being
killed by the yandals.

Feared That He Was Killed in
Missouri

Cara, Mo-. Aug. pa young man
named Arthur Meyers from Iowa, has
disappeared from the neighborhood of
Martinsville in Harrison county, and
the supposit n is that he has been
murdered. Three men are held under
$1,000 bond, each man on charge of
having caused his disappearance. He
worked for widow and was accused
of a crime, of which he is now believ.
ed to have been innocent. The con-
clusion is that the boy was beaten to
death and burned in barn, three
miles east of Cara, which was destroy
ed by fire several nights since. The
people are much excited, and there is
strong talk of lynching.

In Touch with the World.

The farmer is finding said Mr..
Burt yesterday, that he has as much
use for the telephone as anybody. He
is harder to induce to adopt it than the
average business man, but few who
have put them in have ordered them
out again. The extension of rural de-
livery routes is helping our business.
They are making it unnecessary to go
to town every day for the mail. The
carrier is allowed to deliver goods to
people along his route; and by calling
up his grocer, or dry goods dealer the
farmer can order what he needs, have
the carrier bring it out, and thus save
himself trip

highest since the establishment Of the local

thunder and a little rain. II sent the people,
