s,lliran Not for GOvernor.

Efforts have been made by a number of
democrats TO induce ]. c. Sullivan OF Cres-
ton to become a democratic candidate Tor
governor. He Is very popular with the
free silver FORCES and was one OF the
speakers at the Jefferson day banquet IN
this city, where Bryan and Weaver were
the star attractions. But 1t is learned here
that Sullivan has Indicated to his friends
tina he does not want the nomination for
governor, but will rather make the race for
senator in the district composed of Union,
Decatur and Ringgold counties. He would
be in opposition to M. F. Stoockey of De-
catur county. There are factional differ
ences among the republicans in both De-
catur and Union counties which make 1t
very hard for them to give hearty support
to any candidate and Sullivan is very popu-
lar in the district. He believes he can
succeed there and would prefer that nom
ination to the one for governor. This makes
It certain hat Judge Van Wagenen will
be the nominee of the democratic conven-
ton for governor. ALI efforts to get out
any candidate in opposition to him have
failed. 1t is possible that General Weaver
would now consent to be the candidate,
as It is understood that his oil ventures in
Louisiana have proved failures.

CFrom a STAFF Correspondent


DES MONIES, May H.-(Special. 1.-THE
formal charges upon which members of
the bar in Henry county believe they will
secure the disbarment of Messrs. Finley
and McCoid. two we'll known lawyers OF
Mount Pleasant, nave been filed with Judge
Smyth, and they will be heard at the Sep
TENDER term Of the court. The accusations
are most sensational in character and are
the severest that lave been filed against
any lawyer OF the state for many years.
In fact, the charges grew out of a bar
meeting where every member OF the bar of
the ounty except the two named was rep
resented, and the bar is unanimous In de-
string that the prosecution be pushed. The
elimination of the trouble came on a recent
trial involving a deal for the sale of a
livery stable in which bold accusations
of fraud against the members of the firm
were made and also charges of perjury on
the stand. Then the bar meeting was held
and a number OF other accusations, some of
them quite old but never before aired, were
raked up. F. s. Finley is county attorney
and 1t was charged against him that he
resorted to blackmail or numerous occa-
sions, made possible by his Official position,
extorting money from persons having bust
ness with his Office and procured small
sums. ]. c. McCoid, who is a nephew
of the late NJ. A. McCoid, who died about
ten days ago, was specifically accused OF
forging a letter that was used in a fed
eral court case at Keokuk. and with sundry
other like offenses.
But the most sensational part Of the
accusation related to an alleged attempt
on the part of the lawyers to secure the
forgery of a will for the late Senator Har-
Ian. The accusation Is that the firm OF
McCoid & Finley was attorney for one
J. c.. Whitford, who made a large claim
against the estate, which was In fact after
ward compromised for $500. Senator Har-
Ian died intestate, though he had fire.
ouently indicated his intention of making
several beouests. The lawyers sought, It
"a alleged. to rave Whitford forge a will
and hide It away and afterward have It
found: that the will should make some
beauests similar to those the late senator
was known to have had in mind; that MIS-.
lincoln. wife of Robert 7. Lincoln of Chi
caRo. should be made executor of the Will,
and that Whitford was to be provided for
liherally. Such a will might easily have
been palmed off as genuine, but Mr.. Whit
ford refused to enter into the scheme.
Both of the men have long been con-
sn,cuous at the bar in southeastern Iowa
and the fling Of the charges prepared by a
har committee at the head of which Is l..
A. Palmer, one of the Iowa commission to
the st. Louis exposition. has created a
great sensation. Mr.. Finley is now ont
OF the state, but will return soon. II
hs is disbarred a new county attorney will
be appointed in his stead.

gets OF gold from the nelgnDonng IS
lands. which were larger than any
that I had ever before heard of. They
said that they had found these at the
edge of the Valley of Death.
NO one has ever been known to
cross this strange valley, and several
parties which have made the attempt
have failed and have been forced to
return to the mountains exhausted and
sick. Many people have been over
come by the poisonous gases and have
only been rescued by their compan-
ions, whose lungs were not so quickly
affected.
80 far as I can understand, I be-
lieve that there must be some volcanic
fssure somewhere in the valley and
from this is constantly pouring forth
the poisonous vapor which ever hangs
over the valley. From descriptions of
other volcanic gases l believe that this
is the explanation of the mist which
hangs over the Valley of Death."-

him, body, mind and soul is that more
than your duty? We must remember
all the days he has cared for us in our
infancy Think how he has guided and
protected us all through the struggle
Of life. We must pay installments on
that bill by caring for Gods helpless
children. by feeding Gods hungry and
clothing Gods naked and bending over
Gods sick.
We can never get away from this re-
sponsibility. One day a gentleman
stood waiting for a friend at the New
York entrance of the Brooklyn bridge.
While standing there he saw a little
street urchin 20 up to an ash barrel
and pick out of the refuse a piece Of
bread and begin to eat it. The gentle
man turned to an old woman who was
tending an apple stand near by and
said. "Have those little boys nobody to
care for them at all?' NO one" grim
IL answered the old woman, except
God, and he does not always seem to
be around" Yes, as we look at dis
tress unrelievcd, Mt lives in which
there is no brightness. it does seem as
if God We're not always around. But
has that thought no message for US?
Are not these very cases opportunities
placed in our way of repaying some Of
our obligations to him? We cannot
pay him. but when as his children we
relieve the destitute or lift the burden
from the weary shoulders we are act
ing as his almoners and are doing his
work. We should care for others in
Christs name because God has so long
cared for US.

OF all the unparalleled things which
he saw Mr. Carpenter says that the

island of MiHdanao is the most Won

The famous valley" he says, lis

organs are healthy proves that he new
er knew he had liver or spleen or
kiducysY In one sense. my brother,
your answer is right. Wien a man
loses his good health he is ready to
give up almost everything he has to
win it back. If his lungs are diseased
he will sell out his business to 20 and
live in Los Angeles, Cal, or San An
tonic. Tex, or in some mild climate of
Arizona. If he has gallstones hewill
gladly cross the seas in the hope that
the Carlsbad waters may dissolve
,hem. If he has a cancer willingly
does he lie down upon the operating
table in the hope that the surgeons
snife m,% cut out the fatal destroyer.
But in another sense, my brother, your
answer is wrong. Though most Of us
may be healthy. yet there was a time
when nearly all well persons were
sick. and awfully sick. We know what
it is to have the temperature run up to
1O4 and 1OJ and the pulse, like a trip
hammer. beating 130 times to the min
ute. We know what it is to have pneu-
monia or typhoid fever or appendicitis.
And from the past experience Of those
sicknesses we should fully realize the
blessing of good health and be willing
to pay a great debt of service to God
for that health When visiting the
Isle of Wight in 1883 we saw the
queens physician every morning ride
up to the royal palace He did not go
there because the queen was ILL., but
in order to prevent her from becoming
sick. If the royal courts of Europe
have their attending physicians who
are paid large salaries to keep the rul-
ers well. shall we not pay in service
to our Heavenly Physician
for the physical strength with which
many of us are endowed?

cradle of sin? When / 90 down the

mortals?" Their fathers perhaps were
Jail birds. Their mothers were disso-

day they were born. Their companions
from youth have been thieves and rob

wretches, born in sin, have struggled
up by the grace of God into the light.
They have. by slow and painful stages,
won hard earned spiritual education
like "CId Phil" for many years the
dOorkcoper of the jerry McAuley mis-
sion. who was a thief and had served
seventeen years in Jail for his crimes
They struggled on and up, battling

A big debt we also owe to God for
the blessings which come to us frCm
car living loved ones. Strange is the
fact that We rarely appreciate a dear
one until she is gone. There are plenty
of monuments and memorials erected
for dead men. but very seldom any for
the living. One of the most remarAa-
bic statues in this country is that
raised in the Brooklyn Prospect park
to James S. T. Stranahan. 1t was un-
veiled while the grand old man of
Brooklyn" was alive to see it with his
own eyes and with his own ears hear
the eulogies of his life's work. We
would be willing, if our finances would
warrant it. to endow n hospital or H.
brary or founding home to the mem-
ory of dead child. Do we not owe
God any debt of gratitude to the loved
ones who are still by our side? Shall
not the father and husband feel that he
needs to make some acknowledgment
for the children and the wife who now
sit with him at the table and bow with
him at the family altar? Oh. my
Christian friends, | do not believe we
are intrinsically mean. do not and
will not lower myself to the belief that
we have Intentionally gone to God
heretofore only as beggars. Most Of
us have not stopped to think with how
many blessings God has surrounded
us. Therefore l have today tried to
show you the joys of Christian giving,
the joys of paying back to God at least
4 little of what we owe.
The simple fact is that but few Of
us have ever begun to taste the sweet
est nectars which come from the gospel
vineyards. Many years ago. goes

in this silver lining a spring. Size

side the silver lining was a golden
yolk. She touched another spring. and,
10. inside the golden yolk glittered a
beautiful ruby. So the reason some Of
us have had so little joy out Of our
gospel experience is because we have
only touched the outer edge Of its joys.
We have only selishly looked at the
gifts which God has given to US. But
when we honestly try by a consecrated

done for US then we shall have a Joy

PLAYGROUND FOR BOYS.
Square Set Apart for the Purpose in

The District property yard In the square
bounded by 9th and 7th. NJ and N streets
southwest is to be used a play ground
for the boys of that neighborhood, under
the direction of those in charge of the
neighborhood house at 456 N street south
west, and every morning and afternoon
after school hours 1t is crowded with boys
playing ball and other games. For the
girls and young women a special play
ground is provided in the rear of the neigh
hood house.
The following rules for the government of
the new play ground have been prepared,
and an infraction of them means that the
guilty party will be deprived of the privi-
IL ge of entering for short or long period,
according to the enormity of the offense.

school hours.

HIGn SCHOOL GRADUATES.
Scholarships Open to Them at Column
bian University

The Columbian University has enlarged
its scholarships. particularly those applica-
bic to graduates of the District High
Schools. and it would seem that there
should be few graduates who are debarred
from a collegiate education If they desire
to obtain it.
OF special interest to the members of the
graduating classes of the High School and
the Manual Training School should be the
announcement of scholarships in the de-
partment of arts and sciences offered ex-
clusively to them There are seven such
scholarships-the Kendall scholarship and
six university scholarships-aSsignedu under
certain conditions.
Candidates for these scholarships take
the examinations for admission given at
the university May 80 and June l. . 3,
1913; they may take the examinations for
the arts course or the science course, as
they shall elect. The examinations will be
IN accordance with the new classification
of subjects as published in the catalogue.
The changes from the schedule of last
year do not make the requirements more
severe; they permit rather somewhat
wider selection of preparatory subjects.
Graduates of the High Schools and the
Manual Training School who do not wish
to compete for these scholarships may be
admitted to the freshman class upon GER
tificate and without examination.
An important feature of the recent reor-
ganiZation of university studies at Column
b1an- is that the regular undergraduate
course for degree may be completed in
three years instead of four. This is accom-
plished not by lessening the requirement,
but by increasing and intensifying the
hours of work each year. A further saving
OF time is effected for students continuing
their studies in the professional schools by
accepting the first year of professional
studies as part of the third year cleo
tives in the undergraduate course. BY CO.
relation and concentration of work the time
required for liberal and professional study
is shortened by two years without involving
any sacrifice in culture or professional
training.
