for July 13, 19O2-The Ten Conn
mandments; Duties to God.
THE LESSON TEXT.


1. And God spake all these words, say
ing:
q 1 am the Lord thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
g. Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore me.
A. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
craven image, or any likeness Of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that
is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth:
5. Thou shalt not bow down myself to
them, nor serve them: for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniqtity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me;
6. And showing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my COM
mandments.
7. Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless that taketh his
name in vain.
s. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
it holy.
9. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all
thy work:
10. But the seventh day is the Sab
bath of the Lord thy God; in it thou
shalt not do any work thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates:
II. For in six days the Lord made
Heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested on the seventh
day; wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed it.
II. Honor thy father and thy mother;
that thy days may be long upon the
land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee.

The first table of the law can be kept
only by loving God with all your heart
and all your soul
If God fills your heart, nothing un-
worthy and debasing can enter into it.
The more one loves God, the better
man he is mentally, morally, and
usually even physically.
The greatest dishonor can be done
Gods name by claiming to be his child,
and yet acting contrary to his law.

COL. RAsDLsrr's ATTACK. Z



Washington, Oct. 1s.-Lieut. Col
Randlett, U. S. A., in charge Of the
Nowa Indian reservation in Okla
homa, in his annual report to the
commissioner Of Indian affairs Wig
orously assails the Indian Rights
association and the government
board of Indian commissioners. The
attack is brought out by statements
made at the last Lake Mohonk, n.
T., Indian conference, which the
agent alleges are misrepresentation.
ut is apparent" says the report,
"that the time has come when the
righteous should, in praying for the
interests of this agency, plead God
save them from their friends the
board Of Indian commissioners and
the Indian Rights association, the
latter having developed as allies of
grating attorneys who seem bent
on robbing the Indians of the mag
unanimous provisions made for them
by the act Of congress OF June 6,
1900. This has encouraged the con-
slant demand Of legislators and con.
gress that the possessions Of the In
dams Of this. agency be taken from
them and has engendered the want
Of confidence and distrust which is
disturbing the minds Of the Indians,
who have raised the question: What
calamity have we to expect"

the various packing companies. 1t
will require clear profit Of $780,
900 a day to pay three per cent. in
terest on this capital. When they
add $1OO,OO0,OOO more Of watered
stonk It will take a daily nroft Of
$250,OOO to pay four per cent. interest.
When this combination sees fit to
begin operations it will practically
place a mortgage on every head Of
live stock in the United States.
This mortgage will have to be paid
by the producers.

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplez
the wife who sees maternity before her.
If she is treading an untried path, she
sometimes frets herself into a nervous
condition which is injurious and pros

from the coming trial and by her very
mental anxiety increase the. possibility
Of her suffering.

prospective mothers who use DR.. Pierce's

here the negro was Immediately
turned over to Sheriff Spradley, who
told the people that he would be
given speedy trial. The town be-
gan to fill up rapidly and the excite
ment was intense. The telegraph
wires were cut, the railroad tracks
were torn up for short distance

|HE USED his PISTOL.
William Turner Shoots Two Men
and Then Commits Suicide.
TROUBLE CAUSED BY A SHORTAGE.
When Asked for Certified Check TO Settle
He Drew HIS Revolver and Commenced
Firing and Persons In the Room
Fled In Panic.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Using new
automatic magazine pistol, William
G. Turner, former president and
treasurer Of the Climax Bottling com
pany, yesterday shot and killed W.
J. Mallard, secretary and treasurer
OF the company, and Robert Hamil-
ton its president, and then killed him
self with the same weapon. A Sec
ond revolver, loaded in every cham
Der, was found in Turner's pocket,
and it is believed he planned to take
more lives than he did. The shoot
ing was caused by quarrel between
the three men over an alleged short
age in Turner's accounts, for which
he was threatened with criminal
prosecution. The tragedy occurred
in the Offices of the law firm Of Can
tor, Adams & Mcintyre, in the heart
of the Wall street district, during
the busy noon hour. Turner, who
was As years old and lived at Mount
Vernon, N. Y, a suburb Of this city,
was q cousin of Gov. 0dell, Of this
state. The head Of the law firm In
whose offices the shooting occurred
Is President Cantor, Of the borough
Of Manhattan. Soon after the shots
rang out in the Office building q wild
rumor was started that the borough
president had been killed.
The three men met in the law Of
fees by appointment, to allow Tur-
her to make partial settlement, and
he was asked for q certified check.
II have IT," he said, and then he
closed the door Of the room. An in
slant later he drew revolver and be-
gan firing. Mallard fell. shot through
the heart, and Hamilton lived only a
few moments. A number Of other
persons who were in the room, clerks
and members of the firm, fled in q
panic. After killing Hamilton and
Mallard, Turner shot himself in the
head. Some moments later, hearing
no more shots, the persons who fled
ventured back into the room and
found the three bodies,
Turner retired as president Of the
Climax Bottling company last April
when he was bought out by Hamil-
ton. After the sale it was discovered
in examining the books of the con-
Germ that there was a shortage of S.
100 in Turner's accounts. The Climax
company engaged John F. Mcintyre,
former assistant district attorney,
and M. Goodman, both of the firm in
whose offices the shooting occurred
yesterday, to effect settlement with
Turner, and he engaged Edgar Leven-
tritt to represent his interests. Some
difficulty had been met with in the
negotiations which followed between
the lawyers, but it was finally agreed
to accept $1,000 and give Turner
release In full. 1t was agreed that
the settlement should take place in
the offices of Cantor, Adams q McIn-
tyre yesterday at II o'clock.
On Turner's corpse the coroner
found certified check for $2,7OO.
The latter is regarded as throwing
q peculiar light on the case, for it
is thought to indicate that Turner
went to the Offices with the probable
of paying the sum of money
which was to have settled the diff
Guilty. II he did intend to pay, it is
argued, he changed his mind sudden
ly and decided to kill.

SUICIDED BY INHALING GAS.
The High PrIestess Of the "Church OF the
Yoga" Kills Herself Rather Than Go
to jail or an Asylum.

New York, Oct. 1S.-In fear of an
other term in prison, or spending the
balance of her days in an insane
asylum, Miss Ida Craddock, high
priestess and pastor of the Church
of the Yoga" in Chicago and mission
airy of her peculiar belief, committed
suicide yesterday by inhaling gas.
Her body was found by her mother,
Mrs. Decker, by whom the suicide was
to have been accompanied to the
United States court to be sentenced
under a conviction for sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails.
Fear of this sentence and also that
her mother was planning to have her
committed to an asylum led to the
suicide. She left a most affectionate
letter to her mother in which she
said: 81 will not consent~to 60 to
the asylum, as you are evidently
planning to have me 60" e.
Miss Craddock served three months
on Blackwell's island for circulating
an Objectionable book and upon her
release was prosecuted by the federal
authorities for sending the books
through the mails. Before coming
here she was convicted in Chicago
and prosecuted in Philadelphia and
Washington for circulating her books,
which were alleged by the authori-
ties to be indecent. Miss Craddock
came originally from Denver and first
drew public attention by her defense
of the dance du ventre at the worlds
fair, which she maintained was SOL
emn religious performance. She was
a woman of culture.
