OF Malvern, Ia, a brother-in-law of Walker,
who called on the chief Wednesday night.
According to DIR. Adamson's story. Walker
called up his wife at Albion a week ago
last Monday night and informed her that
he had been kicked by a horse and dan
gerously wounded and had to go to a hos
pital. He wanted money with which to
defray the expenses. The next day DR..
Adamson talked with Walker IN Omaha
and the latter said he intended TO kill him
self because his wife had sued him for
divorce. Last Saturday night, at which
time Walker wrote his letter to the chief,
he called up his wife again and told her
that he had been in the hospital for a
week from the effects of dose of arsenic
which he had taken with suicidal intent.
Again he wanted money with which to pay
his expenses. As Walker falsifed to his
wife on these occasions the chief believes

TALKED TO
MERCHANTS
Rev. tdsOn's Discourse Last
Night Well Attended and
interesting

The interest manifest in the series
of sermons being preached by Rev.
Edison, at the Methodist church, on
sunday evenings, grows with each
successive sermon. Last night, when
the merchants were addressed, there
was a large and attentive audience,
and many compliments on the way
in which the subject was handled are
heard today.
Rev. Edison took for his text Ezekiel
27:36, THE Merchants Among the
People" A lack of space forbids pub
fishing the sermon in its entirety,
but the line of thought presented
may be found in the following brief
synopsis:
There are but few people who
realize what a treasure we have in
the bible. We often spend large sums
OF money for books, written by ex-
perienced men, to instruct us in our
particular business or calling in life.
Some of these works no doubt possess
great merit and are of advantage to
the purchasers: but all are fallible and
consequently can not be implicitly re-
lied upon.
but God has given us In the bible.
guide to success in every calling,
trade and profession known to men;
so we may expect to find In the treas
ure-house of all knowledge rules, that
If followed. will guide you merchants
TO certain and honorable prosperity.
II any Of you are inclined to reason
that the word OF God may have been
| correct guide to a business career,
two or three thousand years ago. but
cannot be expected to fit twentieth
century methods, let me saw that the
bible is not for one age and one peo-
ole. but for every age and for all pe"-
niles: so it's inspired words arc mi
n utely applicable to present-day con-
itions.
"Vbat then has God said concern
In ~ youe That there must be foi
v, ,ur henefit a standard OF valre. Even
so long ago as when Abraham bough'

Is said that the amount agreed upon

"That your prosperity is indicative

WHAT DOES IT MEAN
Western Pacific Followed
BY Mysterious Syndicate

A San Francisco special to the Salt
Lake Herald of June 13 says: The
new Western Pacific railroad is rap
idly securing rights of way and pro-
ceeding with surveys for the Beckwith
Pass route to Salt Lake, and its every
move is trailed by a mysterious rival.
In Oroville the rival is known as the
Yard Syndicate, but the identity of
the mysterious Yard is not known.
His agents, however, are buying ev-
erything in sight, and whenever the
property in The vicinity is obtainable
il is absorbed by the Yard Syndicate
regardless of the price, which indi-
Gates a determined effort to block the
interests of the Western Pacific, and a
formidable financial power back of the
effort.
Western Pacific people have recently
sent surveying parties into Nevada,
one of which is camped near Winnie
n,ucca, and simultaneous with their
appearance other bands of surveyors,
no decline to divulge their mission,
have entered the field. In fact, every
thing indicates an active surveying
campaign on the Nevada desert and
when the full significance of the oper-
ations is known it may be found that
the same power back of the Yard Syn
dicate has sent surveyors to camp on
the trail of the Western Pacific in
= Nevada.
The Yard Syndicate last year filed
placer mining locations embracing
about 10000 acres on both sides OF
streams traversed by the Western Pa
eific and following Dractically tbs
same route over the Sierra Nevadas
Its locations embrace n strip of land
several miles in width on both sides
OF the Feather river. and in the north
ern country the impression prevails
that the Southern Pacific is behind
the mysterious syndicate.

Trust Has Busted

TRENTON, N. j., June 21.-Appli-
cation was made in the court OF
chancery yesterday by Andrew II. Mac
Neal of Burlington, N. j., for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the United
States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry
Co. which has fourteen plants at diff
ferent points throughout the United
States The company was incorporat-
ed about three years ago with an au-
thorized capital of $30,000,000. Mac
Neal charges extravaganza and mis-
management. He further charges that
the company has been operated more
without a regard to the exploiting
conpany's stock in the stock market
than for the practical utilization OF
the company's works; that from Its
organization the company's manage
ment was dominated by General Sam
uel Thomas, whose principal occupa-
tion, MacNeal says, was that OF a
promoter OF companies and exploiteI
of stocks. MacNeal further charges
that since the spring OF 1901 the com
pany was dominated by its president
Charles G. B. Hayes, whose associates
he alleged, were financiers and ex-
pioiters of stocks. II is averred that
the plant at Buffalo Is operated at
loss of 100000.

That Wife Beating Case

Virginia City Enterprise, June goth:
Yesterday Judge Smith sentenced
Richard Pope to serve 100 days in
Jail or pay a fine of 5000. Thursday
evening Pope attempted to whip his
wife, but she escaped and ran to the
California brewery for protection.
Several men accompanied her to her
home and took Pope in charge, and
he was later arrested by Ofcers
Farnsworth and Muckle..
The heavy sentence imposed was
no doubt in part due to the indigna-
ton aroused by the brutal beating a
South C street dentist administered
to his wife Thursday morning, and
who was only saved from similar
oose to that dealt out by Pope by the
pleading of the faithful wife, whom
he had not only struck. as she lay OF
the ground. but kicked her. TIT
wife of the dentist was saved from .
worse beating by the timely arrival o.
plucky little woman. who picked ul
a rock and threatened TO knock nj
brains out If he did not desist.
The beating of wives on the Com
sto1I. has gone the limit, and the ciui
zens have decided that IL must D.
stonned. and IL the punishment pre-
scribed by law does not sufiice, IN
wife-beaters will be given a ride owe
the grade, clothed only In TAR an

POISONED
fine DOGS
Cowardiy Work That Ended
the Lives of Nine CANNES
Yesterday

The whole town was visably ex-
cited yesterday over the contemplate
work of a dog poisoner. Nine CANNES
died yesterday from the effects of
ing, cowardly way by some unprin-
cipled individual, against whom suffi-
cient evidence has not yet been gath
cred to warrant his arrest and pun
ishment. They were the best dogs
in town, and represented an intrinsic
value sufficient in itself to warrant
the feelings that the owners enter
tain, but their real value could not
be estimated by dollars and cents.
They were, in almost every instance,
trained, intelligent pets and compan-
ions of their owners. The big, good
natured "Bouncer," that followed
Father Burns; "Dottie" and Wick,
Phil Roberts pretty pair; Queen. .
the pet of Shorty Brown; Prince, "
s G. Lambs shepherd; Jas. Dorsey s
Blue Dane; Conductor Lewis dog, and
two whose owners are not positively
known, but one of which is said to
have belonged to Mr.. Mcdonald, all
met their death yesterday, and there
may have been others not reported.
A number of cats met the same fate
from the same cause, and if it brings
bad luck to kill a cat, there are a lot
OF people who hope the "sign" won't
fail in this case.
Strychnine was the poison used, and
in nearly every case it seems to have
been administered on chunks of bacon

that Mr. Roberts two had been pois-

in the rear of the Palace, only to find
her dead on going out short time
after to feed her. The sneak in this
case had thrown the meat filed with
strychnine into the shed after the
dog had been locked up, showing that
accident in any of the cases was i'm
possible almost, and entirely i'm
probable.
1t may be-and it is sincerely hoped
that there will be something fur
ther in connection with these cases to
report. A man who will deliberately
