How JOintists Hope to Escape
in District Court.
Hunt For Technical Errors in
Proceedings.
MIR. sTAHL TESTIFIES.
What He Found in E. C. Rus
sums Place.
Gates Chesney is Convicted by
a Jury.

The trial Of the liquor cases in the
district court continues and each case
that is called develops some technical
error upon which the jointists will try
to escape.
E. c. Russum was tried this morning.
He was arrested June 4, 1901 at the in
stlgatlOn of Chief of Police Stahl
charged with selling liquor at $50 kan
sas avenue. Attorney Hungate appear
ed for Mr. Russum and Attorney Spen-
Ger for the city. Mr. Hungate seemed
much ineensed at the idea that his client
should be vested with even a suspicion
Of wrong doing. ". E. Sterne testified
that he rented the lower floor of the
building to Russum and what was more
that Russum paid the rent.
Chief Stahl and his officers found
RUssum's cigar store in the front of the
building and a joint in the rear room.
The joint part was larger and more
commodiOus than the cigar part. It was
shown that Russum paid rent for the
entire floor from the time the Hurrel
law went into effect until he was ar
rested.
Chief Stahl testified that beer in kegs
and beer in bottles. whisky and glasses
and beer pump were seized during the
raid and taken to the police station and
kept for a while. Later Mr.. Russum
was notified to come and get the stuff
The beer pump had vanished, the kegs
OF beer We're empty and there was moth
ing left but a bottle of whisky and
glass Russum took that and went his
way.
In the argument Mr. Spencer explain
ed that if it was found that Russum as
sisted in maintaining the place he was
guilty on the charge Of keeping q
nuisance Mr. Spencer also explained
that if liquor was sold in the back room
that Russum would be apt to know it.
When Chief Stahl went out of Office
and Judge Hazen decided against the
Hurrel law the Jointists thought the
millennium had come,'' said Spencer,
and they straight way went to the po-
lice station after their goods
Attorney Hungate then told his
clients side of the story. He was much
surprised that the jury would think for
a minute that Russum was guilty of
any wrong doing. or that at any rate
that it could be proven. You are try
ing him for running joint at a certain
place at a certain time" said Hungate
to the jury. 1T is not shown that he
did anything unlawful on or before May
%.
There is not one scintilla of evil
dence that he had any connection with
the joint said Hungate warming up
unedr the collar at the thought of his
client being under suspicion.
He was told to come to the police
station and get some liquor. The police
wanted to get rid of it, that was all
Why lots of that stuff was delivered to
me just so the police could get rid of
it,"

WOMAN.

Whether sister, friend, sweetheart.
wife or mother, woman is the no.
blest work of God. If she .be high
minded and pure-hearted fsl,e islands
near the sun. When, from any cause.
she falls the descent is so swift. the
distance so great, that restoration is
we'll nigh impossible. Every man
deserves to look upon his sister as a
queen OF all the virtues, his sweetheart
as a paragon of purity, upon his wife
as spotless priestless of love. and
upon his mother as an angel. They
are what he lives for, and for them
he would brave all dangers and gladly
die. They are the pride Of his life.
their smiles illuminate his rugged,
thorn -strewn path from the cradle to
the grave. Their kiss is the balm of
Gilead to his bruised and bleeding
heart when others forsake, disappoint-
ments are sore and the world is dark.
Cheered by a sisters affection, sus-
tained. by wife's devotion and up
held by mothers deathless love, it
is strange man should fall by the
wayside victim of vice and lust.
Knowing, and loving his own so we'll,
it is almost incredible that he could
lure to the hell of ruin the sister.
daughter, wife or mothr of other men.
The fall of womanhood is sad and
awful commentary upon the depravity
OF man. Did all men but keep the
golden rule, there would not be a
wrecked home, a blasted life, broken
heart, or fallen woman in the wide
world. -Ex.

BLooDHoUNDs OF CONSCIENCE.

On day early in June of this year,
Is hsR na1led I4a H Aisas ias ,eeaaRi tied q
crime at Marysvi1le, Missouri, and
then tried to run away from it.
Hawkins was real estate dealer
and left the town because he had forg-
ed papers to the amount of $4,000.
When he left Marysville, Hawkins
was fine looking, middle-aged gen.
tleman, with hair slightly tinged with
gray. At the end of two weeks he
came back a white haired, broken
bodied oldfman.
In the interval the man had wan
dered from place to place, pursued by
the hourly fear that he would be track
ed by bloodhounds. The fear deepened
into an overmastering terror. He hid
himself in the woods.
Finally the fear became unbearable.
He returned to Marysville and gave
himself up. Twenty years, he said,
have been added to his life in less
than twenty days. He welcomed the
penitentiary as a blessed relief.
'Tis the old story. In seeking to
dodge a financial trouble he took upon
his shoulders greater one. The new
trouble was so heavy that prison
seemed a haven of rest after the hell
into which he had plunged.
When will men learn that retribu-
tion is never cheated Of its victim?
When will men learn that they are
not smarter than fate?
There are other blooodhounds than
those of flesh and blood THAT pursue
the man that breaks sthe law. The
bloodhounds Of conscience whenever
bay deep mouthed to the soul that sim
meth.
Do men imagine they are excep-
tions to the rule Of fate? There Eare
no exceptions. :
Whatsoever a man soweth that
also shall he reap. =
That i. the inevitable law. # q
man sows to the flesh he shall of the
flesh reap corruption. And he will
reap more than he sows. The law OF
increase holds in the devils domain
Is it does in the field Of God. Vicks-

lev. MR.. MELVIN NOT ALLOWED
TO ACCEPT HIS CALL.

A called sessiod d sle Miississsii'BBi;
Presbytery was held in jackson Tues
day evening for the purpose of con-
sidering the call of Rev. M. e. Mel
vim, pastor of the Brandon and Forest
churches, to pastorate at Wapanecka,
Indian Territory.
The presbytery was called to order
by Ruling Elder E. W. Melvin mode
rator, and Rev. f. L. McCue, pastor
of the West Side Presbyterian church
acted as stated clerk. After lengthy
consideration of the call the presbytery
declined to allow it's acceptance and
Mr.. Melvin will remain in charge Of
his present churches.
The request wa. refused o.. the pc
tition Of the churches presided over
by Mr.. Melvin and at the presbytery
session the following resolutions adop-
ted by tile Forest church were read:
BE it resovled That Mr.. Melvin
who has been true shepherd to this
people in leading the people III the
path of righteousness for His name 8
sake be not taken from our midst and
placed in new field for we think
and that conscientiously and kprayer-
fully that his mission in the Masters
work here has not by any means been
fulfilled. He is evidently doing a
grand and noble work; a work that
older heads and other pastors have
failed to do; work that has brought
the true staff Of life to this people and
placed the church on q much higher
plane of true spirited development.
"2. That presbytery does not grant
the dissolution for the work Mr.. Mel
vim is now doing is just in its infancy
and the good results are just beginning
to materialize therefore if the disso-
luton be made the fair fields and
green meadows which he SO admirably
cultivated demonstrating such won
derfnl spiritual growth may and mo
doubt will wither as the rose beneath
the parching noon day sun.
'sS. That as Mr.. Melvin has few
equals and no superiors, making his
place hard, indeed, to fill; we implore
presbytery to permit him to serve us
still for he is doing work in our
opinion for the Lord Of Lords and King
OF Kings, that no other minister can
do SO we'll.
That = copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent to presbytery By 3 COM
mittee Of four, who shall be expected
to represent our church before that
body. Clarion Ledger. 81
The decision Of the presbytery waa
received here with pleasure 81 our
people, with whom Mr.. Melvin haa
been 50 closely identified for the past
two years. He has been doing great
work among as, and he will now en.
ter with renewed energy upop his
work.

CANDIDATES
AT BRANDON.
Hon. Pat Henry Seems to Be the Favorite
with the People.

ner dealt with the Philippines, trust
and ship subsidy questions, arraigning
the republican party in the most scat
ching language possible for attempting
to destroy the free government estab-
lished by the fathers of the country
and erect an empire on its ruins. The
senator pointed out in convincing
terms the menace that is confronting
the people by reason of iniquitous
policies pursued by the party in pow
or, and urged his hearers to stand
firm for the party that stands for the
equality and liberty Of the citizens
and the sanctity of the constitution
Of the United States and the Decla-
ration Of Independence.
Messrs. Patrick Henry, John Sharp
Williams, G, &. Hooker and w. A.
Montgomery addressed a large crowd
in the court house here on Friday last.
The speeches Of all the gentlemen
were we'll received, but it was plainly
evident that the audience was divided
between Henry and Williams, with
Henry in the lead. The candidates
went from Brandon to Stems Creek,
where they spoke Saturday to large
audience. While all the candidates
received undivided attention from
those assembled to hear them, it
could be plainly seen that Pat Henry
captured the crowd completely by
his fascinating speech and the fair
and simple manner in which he dis
cussed the issues of the day. Pat is
Rankin boy, and it must be source
of much qualification to him to know
how lollys he is being supported by
the people of his old home county.
The candidates spoke at Antioch Mon
day, a few miles southeast of town.
