AFTER THE MURDER.

Ryan's body was not discovered until
late Tuesday afternoon July a. II was
then IN a horrible state Of decomposl-
ton. That night Sheriff Emery notified
Sheriff Bailey OF Ogden, Of the crime,
The next morning Sheriff Bailey tele-
phoned Sheriff Emery of the disappear
ance from the Crittendon home OF Mrs
Hodge and Of her failure to call for
money and transportation there for her,
which was sent by her brother from
Denison, Iowa. To Sheriff Bailey
therefore belongs the credit Of furnish
ing the first clue which connected Mrs
Hodge with the murder. The local au-
thorities at once commenced work on
that clue and traced II to point where
they were absolutely sure Of the wo-
mans connection with The case, when a
warrant for her arrest was issued. The
history Of her escape from Denlson,
Iowa, was told In Saturdays News
and her surrender and confession as
given above are gladly received by the
local authorities, especially in view Of
the fact that she eluded the Iowa au-
thorities nj a time when her arrest
seeemtd to be assured.

Opposes the Ssloon-But How?
81 am just as much opposed TO
the saloon as you are" said the
pastor OF one OF our Princeton e
churches to me, last Friday even
ing, in a conversation conce' ming
the evils of the saloon in this city.
"Grsnted," said |; ''but are you
as much opposed to the license sys-
TEN as you are TO the saloon2"
mo" said he; ''cannot say that
/ am"
The ministe. referred to, and
others with him are just now max
ng special effort 10 save our young
Jeople from the saloon, and are
wondering what they can do TO
make their efforts more effective.
When l suggested that a little more
preaching against the sin Of licens-
ing the saloon for price would be
step in the right direction, l was
given to understand that my sug-
gestion was ont Of place, to say the
least. THAT is something that
always try very carefully to avoid, F"
replied the minister.
If the license system is q good
thiEg, the liquor traffic is a good
hing; the license is all right, sa-
looms are all right; "lf the root be
holy, so are the branches." He
who apologies for the one cannot
consistently denounce the other.
II the saloon is ever to be destroy
ed, the license system must be des
troyed first; and if the people are
to be saved from drunkenness and
vice, the preacher and teacher must
first be saved from the Elm Of license
voting.
Twenty years ago my Vote help
ed 10 support the licenee system;
TO- day | am voting against il. |
may have been ''iust as much op-
posed to the saloon" then as | am
now, but my conscience tells me
that my opposition counts for more
now than it did before quit giving
my support to the license system.
And have been acquainted with
my conscience long enough to know
that it is telling me the truth.
While you are praying against the
saloon, pray also againet the licens-
ng Of it. GEo. W. NORMAN.

It's Time 10 Smile,

It's time to lure the smiles along
And help the world be gay;
It's time to sing the happy song
And whistle care away.
It's time to gladly leave behind
The sorrow and the sighs;
It's time to look for Joy and find
Each Granny where it lies.
It's time TO hoist tho flags for Mirth
And shout huzza to Glee;
Give Joy the freedom of the earth.
Drive Woe into the sea;
It's time to hide the frowns and let
The songs Of gladness rise
The world is laughing, let's forget
The sorrow and the sighs.

There has been very much said
Of late as to whether the church
should accept the Saloon keepers
money in aid Of spiritual work.
l am surprised with the way it lie
treated. The saloon is created and
upheld by the great christian Amer
ican nation, and zealously defended
by its christian president and could
not exist without the christian vote.
Therefore the money that passes
through the ealoon- keepers hands is
just as lawful and holy as . chris
tian vote can make it, and is as
worthy Of place in the work as a
christian.
II that corrupts money there may
be other ways in which money may
be corrupted. So the question is,
where can We draw the line be-
tween holy and unholy money?
Bah there is no such thing as un-
holy money. Now what has been
written about saloon keepers mon
ey proves the saloon is bad 10 time
and eternity, and not the money.
II we had . mad dog in camp We
would not have the soldiers writing
how to cure the bitten, but We
would kill the dog. SO to stop get
ting money that way, kill the sa-
loon. The Searchlight.
