Sunday at the Christian Church.

. t.4 =
The Christian church, worshiping
temporarily in Kuhn's Auditorium,
had a good day Sunday. The Sunday
school which meets at 10 a. m. reached
the highest number present in the his
tory of this congregation.
The sermon at IL O'Clock was by the
pastor, o. e. Palmer, his su ject was.
"a Step Between Me and Death. -
1t was taken from the language OF
David to Jonathan when Saul was
seeking TO take his life, when David
felt that his life hung by so slender a
thread. 1t was really crisis in
Dayid's life, and the chief thought OF
the sermon was that many of the
crises of human life hang upon small
events or circumstances. 'WhC
knows how many of the people we
shall meet tomorrow may be passing
through spiritual crisis? The words
we speak, our influence. manner and
conduct may determine the result OF
these crises. Many times the seeming
trivial events tip the scale one way OF
another in the settlement of the
welghtieSt of human problems. May
the great God give us wisdom and
grace to live such staunch christian
lives and be SO Christ-like in our de-
pertinent that, in 50 far as we may
figure in these events, we may be
saviours to men everywhere in the
crises of life.' The sermon elected
the closest attention throughout.
The Christian Endeavor consecra-
ton service at 6 p. m. was especially
interesting, and again at o'clock Mr..
Palmer preached strong sermon on
"Thc Philanthropic Mission OF
Christ"
Boys Class No. 3, Of the Christian
Sunday School, Miss Alice Place,
teacher, was entertained at the home
of the Supt., Mr.. j. Ellison Miller,
last Thursday night. 1t was an occa-
sion of honor TO the boys for having
the largest average attendance of any
class in the school during the month
of February. The boys report fine

Bad Luck In Store for MoIl.
WOMAN Is SUSPECTED NOW
Cleveland Police, However, Have Noe
Found Burdickk Murderer.

Cleveland Police, However, Have Not
Found Burdickk Murderer,
Buffalo, N. Y, March 2.-The body
Of Edwin L. Burdick, who was muir
dered at his home on Ashland avenue
last Thursday night, was yesterday
taken to his former home in Canastota,
N. Y, for burial Mrs. Burdick, her
three children, and two close personal
friends went with the body. The au-
thorities have not given out any late
informal ton as to their work in at
tempting to run down the murderer.
The police are inclining to the theory,
however, that the crime was commit
ted by a woman.
The lines upon which the police are
now working indicate that their be-
lief is that the murderer will be found
among the close acquaintance of the
dead man. The district attorney open
ly expresses the opinion that some
body in the Burdick social circle MUIR
dered the club man. The circle was
composed of a number of married
couples-young or in the prime of life.
They were intimately acquainted so
cially. The circle has been disrupted
by more or less scandal In fact sew
eral divorce suits have grown out Of
it, according to the district attorney.
The finding of tuft of hair on
Burdick's body, which at first ap-
peared to be a promising clue, ap-
parently has fallen fat. The police
have found the weapon with which
Burdick was murdered. 1t is a steel
tipped golfers 'putter." Where they
get it the officials refuse to say at
present.

Whereas, We recognize in the
death of our comrade VIM. NJ. Ken
dali. that our members are steadily
diminishing, and that the gaps in
our picket line grow wider as the
years come and 60. Another detail
has been made from our reserve and
CUmrade Kendall has been summoned
into the shadowy regions to return to
touch elbows with us no more. He
answered the last roll call from the

has lost true and faithful friend, and
an earnest, conscientious worker for

Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the record of our Post:

Governor Durhin is kept very bus

Governor Durbin is kept very busy
nowadays in examining legislative bills
submitted to him for approval. Up
to the close ofoa last week he had sign
ed 81 bills and vetoed 2. He had
ample time to examine them. 1t will
be different with bills now before him
and still being added to. Necessarily
their examination must be hurried as
this is the last week of the legisla-
ture. But be is familiar with most OF
the bills that VIII pass and will gen.
orally know just what he is doing when
he allows a billto become law.

Governor Durbin. Tuesday, inform
ed the friends of the Goodwine bill for
the separation of the Girls Industrial
school from the Women's Prison, that
be would not sign it as it passed the
general assembly. He did not veto
the measure.
At once a new bill was introduced
in the senate containing features the
governor thought should not have
been omitted from the other bill, and
the new measure was passed under a
suspension of the rules.
The bill will be hurried to to the
house for similar action, because the
separation of the institutions is re-
garded by many as the most import
ant legislation before the general as

board Of state charities.

GENTLEMEN,
Letter to the Plymouth Milling Co.

PLYMOUTH, Ind
GENTLEMEN:-You understan d
grinding wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats
and corn. We understand grinding
paint-things. The two sorts of grind
ing are not much alike. Very likely
oats and wheat behave very different
ly in the mill, and you manage them
differently-we know very little about
your work; don t need to; we'd rather
depend on you.
But we paint your house and mill.
and out-buildings: perhaps you'd be
glad to know about grinding paint;
for some people mix their paint with
stick in tub.
We use lead and zinc. And our
zinc is as tough as your oats. Tub
mixers imagine they mix it. They
don It; they can't. Takes grinding to
mix lead and zinc.
They are both white. Tub-mixerS
don It know it: but tub mixed lead and
zinc is streak of one alongside of a
streak of the other.
We grind as you grind; and our
paint is lead and zinc ground together,
mixed intimately; it is neither lead
nor zinc, but lead and zinc: the lead is
lost, and the zinc is lost: each lost in
the other: but lost in the mixture.
Lead chaIks and zinc peels: lead and
zinc ground together hang on and pro-
tect each other.
We take care of your mill outside;
you take care of it inside.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE g. Co.

Poultney Bigelow, the lecturer and
newspaper correspondent, says that
Germany would have no trouble in
landing loo,ooo troops on American
soil in case of war with the United
States, before We could pull ourselves
together. The military authorities
who give out the information as to
what Europe could do to US in a few
hours notice are not nearly so terrlfy-
ing now as they used to be before we
saw what our troops could do against
Spanish regulars on their own ground,
and what the boasted British army
could not do in South Africa. The
foreign troops which come across the
Atlantic to show the people of this
country how will never cost their gov
eminent anything for return passage.

There can be no sounder proposition
than that Of Representative Cannon
that 1.-THE majority of legislative
body has the right to do business. y
1t seems not to be generally recognized
in Washington, but it is the funda-
mental principle of parliamentary gov
eminent. When one man, like Sen
ator Morgan, is permitted to talk
against time day after day to prevent
a vote on most important question
the majority surrenders its right and
one man rules with despotic sway.

The terms 6f'thirty members Of the
United States senate expire on the Sd
OF March, but curiously enough the
political balance Of power will remain
the same. This is very seldom the
case. Never before have so large a
number of changes occurred without
affecting the political complexion OF
the body. Sixteen of the thirty out
going senator's have been reelected.
OF the new'l members elected four re-
publicans have been succeeded by dem
ocrats and four democrats have been
succeeded BY republicans. This leaves
the large republican majority in the
senate unchanged.

Hamilton, o., March 2. = Alfred
Knapp, the multi-murderer of women
and children, has prospects of short
life. His trial will be pushed and
court will hold a special session to
push it. Insanity will be the defense
plea. Knapp denies all stories about
shipping the body of Hannah Goddard
to Indianapolis. He also denies the
story that he has a child in the asy-
lum at Fort Wayne.
1t is a curious fact for the advo-
Gates of the heredity theory that the
mother of Alfred Knapp is a grand
niece of Commodore Perry. the hero
of Lake Erie. She is a native OF
Dearborn county, Ind. Cyrus L.

of receiving stolen property and dis
posing of it. The value of the prop
erty is fixed by the jurors at $1S5,

ment of furs stolen in Clinton. Ia. by
Charles Mol. husband of Mrs. MolI.

from Clinton in one night. Mrs Moll
obtained the storage receipt from her
husband and told Wade of it. He
said he COLD dispose of anything,
from postage stamp to frame
house. for 30 cents on the dollar"
she said. and he and the woman Sc
cured the furs and shipped them to
Chicago. Wade then sold them to a
