TOUT Of the Darkness Into the Light"

~ " NhS SeA N'i~oo aNhe ZIG GlHu1s
"Out Of the darkness into the light"
Never was word of promise more bright
Never came sound to listening ear,
Or waiting heart, more thrilling and
Nerving the soul for its onward flight
Than out of the darkness into the
light"
Only the folding of hands and feet,
And closing of eyes in slumber sweet;
Only the stopping of painful breath,
Only the touch of the hand of Death;
Only the Masters call of might,
And "Out. of the darkness into the
light"
Out of the shadows of sorrow and care,
Out of the blackness of doubt and de-
spair;
Out OF the narrowing, constant. strife,
out of the wearying tolls of life;
Out of the reach of foes within,
Out of the whitening touch of sin,
Into the certain hope of the Just.
Into the fulness of Joy and trust;
Into the calmness of spirit-peace
Into the rest where labors shall cease;
Into the regions by guilt untrod.
Into the smile and presence of God.
Watchers; pale watchers, who YEARLY
Longing for sight of the better land,
Look up. Ger the darkness and gloom, TO
OF promise that CLEANS in the distance
For surely it cometh-the dawning
And "out Of the darkness into the light"

HICKS FOR SEPTEMBER.

Rev. Irl Hicks, the weather prophet,
makes predictions for September as fol-
lows:
First storm period from the 4th to the
10th and is central on the 9th. 1t is
plainly evident that this is period in
which very general and, perhaps, violent
disturbances are reasonably to be ex-
pected. As early as the 9th look for
growing warmth and other decided indi-
cations OF approaching storms. About
7th to 10th wide-spreading and severe
storms of rain, thunder and wind will
sweep over most, parts of the country.
Very warm weather will precede and
attend these storms.
The second storm reriod, which is
central on the 1lth and 18th is so di-
rectly connected with the declining first
period that we may as well consider
them as one. At the winding up OF these
disturbances, a rushing, high barometer
and cold, northwesterly gales will come
out OF the northwest, attended with frost
in northerly sections.
Third storm period, regular. This
period runs frolA the 10th to 2lst, being
central on the 18th. The result at this
period will depend upon the character OF
the disturbances at previous September
periods. If this energy should find vent
in very heavy storms TO this third storm
period, the chances are that disturbances
will be comparatively moderate at this
time. But if warm placid weather, with
only light perturbatiOns should lead up
to this time the cumulative forces will
reach climax between the 10th and 26th
of September, but the storms. and other
phenomena resulting therefrom, are just
as leable to break forth weeks before
and after, as at the center OF the equi-
noctial period. =.
Fourth storm period, reactionary, is
central on the 23rd, oath and 25th. In
every probability, some of the most gen.
eral and violent disturbances Of the month
will transpire within 4Shours OF noon on
the oath. Heavy to violent storms are
also liable to visit the interior generally
at and about this time, touches OF early
snow with high barometer cold WINDS
and frosty nights.
Fifth storm period, regular. This last

September period is central on the 29th,
reaching from the 9th into October.
Under the influence of this period Sep
tember will come to its close growing de-
cidcdIy warmer with areas of cloudiness
and rain gathering and moving eastward.
By the 30th we'll defined storms will 'be
noted in the west, which will advance
eastward over the country during the lst
and I'd days of October. Change to
cooler and rising barometer in the west
as September ends.

CHARGED WITH FOUR MURDERS

That Gershon Il. Marx, now held In
the Norwich county, Conn.,, jail, is the
perpetrator of a series Of cold-blooded
murders probably without precedent in
the history of Connecticut, is the belief
of the State officials, who yesterday be-
gan a systematic search for bodies on
the Marx farm. Four murders and an
attempt to poison another man can, it is
believed by these officials, be traced to
Marx. The bodies of two of Marks al
legged victims, Joe Pavol and Joe Palm,
have been found. Marx is awaiting
trial, charged with the murder of Pavol,
his wife being held as witness for the
State. The two bodies for which the
search was begun yesterday are those OF
an eighteen-year-old boy and Hebrew
peddler.
The boy, who was known as Harry.
arrived in New York from Russia about
three years ago, and he soon after work
ed for Marx. He worked on the farm
for about six months and then suddenly
disappeared. Marx was asked to ex-
plain the lads absence, and said he had
gone to Hartford to find employment.
Beyond that he would not talk about
the boy.
The Hebrew peddler went to the
Marx home one evening two years ago,
and he has not been seen alive since, so
far as known. These two men, in the
opinion of State Attorney Lucas and
Sheriff Jackson, met their death in the
same manner as the two farm hands,
and to obtain positive proof supporting
their opinion efforts will be made to un-
earth the bodies.
A Polander, known as "Joe," yesler-
day made statement to Sheriff Jack
son, 10 which he accused Marx of at
tempting to end his life with poisoned
whisky. Joe took the whisky, but was
afraid to drink it, and put it away.
He has turned the liquor over to the
authorities who will have it aualyzed.
Marx made still another attempt on
"Joes" life when the latter discovered
the body of Pavol, it is claimed. After
he had exhumed the body, "Joe" went
to the house and accused Mar x of MUIR
dering Pavol, and said he intended to
notify the authorities. Marx thereupon
picked up scythe and said if Joe at
tempted tp leave the place he would cut
his head of. The farm hand escaped,
however, without injury, despite several
Vicious lunges made at him by Marx,
according to his statement.
The motive for the crimes can only be
traced to an insane desire on the part
of Marx to escape paying money to
persons to whom he was indebted.
The two men whose bodies have been
found, were six months behind in their
wages, as was the young boy Harry, OF
whom no trace has yet been found.
The manner in which these men met
their death appears to be plain. Marx
always slept with his hired man, his
wife and four children sleeping in an
adjoining room. 1t is said that he
drugged his victims when they pressed
him too hard for their wages, and then
crushed their beads with an axe or some
blunt instrument, after which the bodies
were dismembered and buried. Each OF
the bodies already found bears CHASTITY
hole in the forehead.
