1.-The greatest drawback TO the prosperity
of our State hitherto has been due to the
fact that our farmers staked their all on
cotton. Every o,rer crop was neglected for
It and. consequently. when a bad season

This situation will be obviated In future,
since they have learned the usefulness OF

''Thore has been considerable apprehen-

Interesting Case Of Frederick

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Bloomington. ILL.,, July 1.-The peculiar
teachings Of the Amish faith are again the
subject of much comment throughout Cen
trail Illinois, being given much notoriety as
n result Of the suicide Of the Gridley Town
ship farmer. Frederick Schultz. who killed
himself in Il horrible manner with a shot
gun after making an almost successful eff
fort to murder his entire family.
He was insane when the act Of self-de-
struction occurred. and many in the vlcin-
ity are charging the crime to the Amish re-
ligion. saying that the case is parallel
one to the famous Moser family murder
four years ago. and which was said to have
been the result of Amish teachings. Schultz
was worth 100000 at the time of his death
and was a Lutheran by faith. 1t Is alleged
that when two OF his daughters married
believers in the Amish religion they left
the Lutheran Church and also succeeded
in taking their mother with them into the
Amist. Schultz could not be persuaded to
follow them. and this invited trouble.
Those familiar with the remarkable
teachings of the Amish know that the
church exercises absolute control over the
affairs of its members and dictates in the
most autocratic manner. 1t Is also risidly
exclusive and members have little or moth
ing to DO with outsiders.
When Mrs: Schulz joined the church she
is said to have been forbidden by the
preacher to have anything more to do with
her husband or the other members of her
family who remained outside the pale Of
the church. While living in the same mouse
with them, she was not allowed to speak
with them nor to eat at the same table.
She was also directed not to wait upon them
in case of sickness nor attend their funerals
If they should uie.
She obeyed this order faithfully, it IS said,
and the effect is known. According to the
reports from neighbours, Schultz bore up
under the strain but at last his mind gave
away. and he became subject to fits of tenn
over the ostracism. It was in one of these
spells Of dementia that he killed himself,
his family fleeing from the house in time
to save themselves.
Before mis- death he spoke Of his mental
falling to neighboss. stating that he could
not endure the existing state of affairs
1t has since developed that the same
pastor who. commanded Mrs. Schultz to give
uD her husband also communicated Sam
Moser of Tazewell County. who killed
his entire family because they were or
dercd to have nothing to do with him until
he Joined the Amish Church.
Moser Is serving life sentence for his
crime. escaping on account of the generally
accepted belief that the Amish rules af-
fected his mind. The Schultz case created
almost as much feeling in Central Illinois as
that Of the Moser.

REPUBIJC Special

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York July THE Commissioners Of
the sinking fund have passed Mayor Lows
resolution directing the Dock Commission
ers to proceed to acquire for the city the
boats and terminals OK the Staten Island
ferry. After the resolution had been read
Alderman Mccall made a speech, in which
he congratulated the Mayor on taking the
first actual step to bring about municipal
ownership.
But the Alderman said that the resolu-
ton did not go far enough. 1t provided that
the operation of the ferry should be leased
to the highest bidder for term OF years.
Mr.. Mccall wanted the city TO operate the
ferry well as to own it. He offered a
substitute resolution providing for munich
pal ownership and operation right away.
The Mayor held that. the present
leases held by the Operating Committee did
not expire until June 10. 1904. tlie>city could
not take actual possession until that time.
He proposed to Alderman Mccall a COM
promise to leave the question of operation
open until next year. This was accepted and
in that form the resolutions were passed.
The Dock Commissioners may now begin
the work OF acquiring the terminals at
both ends OF the line. The estimated cost
Of boats and terminals is 100000.
