the Thief.

Dr.. /. X. Funk, the eminent PrOh!-
bitionist and publisher, would not sus-
pect a s~piritualist, and much less a dis
embodied ghost, of vulgar thievins.
But somebody alive or dead walke OF
from a spirit seance with a gold-frameo
portrait Of DR.. Funk's mother.
1t happened at the meeting of the
First S~piritEalists' Church in Aurora
Great Cathedral, Bedford avenu
Brooklyn, a week ago last night. h
S~piritualistS who meet there are the
very aristocracy of the cult, and they
were all shocked last night when Mrs.
May S. Pepper, the medium, made this
statement:
II must ask members of the congTe-
cation not to place anything of valu-
on the pulpit
1t is the custom for believers and
seekers for knowledge from the depart
ed to place various articles on the pa:
pit. Mrs. Pepper takes them up, one
by one. when she is under contrOl.-
and delivers messages that many believ,
to come from the other world.
Last Sunday night, Mrs. Pepper went
on to say, DIR. Funk left a much priced
| portrait of his mother, in a gold frame,
on the pulpit. Clark Bell, the president
OF the Medico-Legal Society left a wal
let containing a large sum of money.
After the services these articles could
not be found. Some one must have
stolen them or taken them by mistake.
II any persons have made a mistake 1
call upon them to return this property.
Tonight I see on the pulpit a wallet
and a package which seems to contain
something of value. The owners Of
these should keep an eye OF them, as
any delay 10 claim them at the close Of
the meeting may be dangerous"
Here Judge Abram S. Daily, a leading
Brooklyn lawyer, rose and announced
that ne represented DR.. Funk. w
hope said he, that the portrait vii:
be found to have been taken by error,
and we have no Intention to take any
steps If it is returned. Asa l hope Mr..
Bells wallet will come back with the
portrait"
DR.. Funk, at a spirit anc some time
ago. received a message alleged to be
from Henry Ward Beecher, which re-
minded him that he 2 borrowed and
forgotten to restore to its owner a rare
coin. DIR. Funk thought he had return
ed 10 the coin, but found hat "Beecher'
had old him the truth. The owner OF
the coin was dead. DR.. Funk has since
Investigated s~pritualism a good deal
see whether, though that means. he
might receive a message from his dead
mother.

JUDGE LAUDER WINS,
The Supreme Court Sustains the
Judgment Against Even NJ.
Jones for Libel.
Judge LADDERS Good Name Com
plstely. Vindicated.

O&cisl information was re-
ceived yesterday that the su-
preme court had handed down
a decision affirming the judg-
ment recovered by Hon. w. S.
Lauder against Even NJ. Jones
for. the sum of seven thousand
dollars, for libel.
This case, it will be remem-
bered, was tried in the district
court a year ago and resulted
in a verdict in favor of Judge
Lauder in the sum of seven
thousand dollars. The case
was carried to the supreme
court, where it was argued
last September. In the opinion
just handed down, the su-
preme court sustains fully
every position taken by Judge
LADDERS attorneys. The su-
preme court holds that the
Wendell affidavit was libelous
on its face, and that there was
ample proof showing that in
the publication of the affidavit
Jones was actuated by malice,
and that the damages awarded
by the jury were, under the
circumstances of the case, not
excessive.
Inf the prosecution of this
caseS Judge Lauder has won a
notable victory. It is not a
plssassnts thing for a Judge on
the bench to be compelled to GO
into court to vindicate his good
name. but in view of the char.
acter of this publication Judge
Lauder. had no other alterna-
tive, and if the result of this
trial will teach unnrincinled
politicians of Richland county
that they cannot falsely accuse
public officials with impunity,
in bringing and prosecuting
the suit Judge Lauder will
have performed a valuable
service for the community.
We will in later issue dis
cuss this case at greater length.

THE COOK CASE.
Proves To Be Nothing More Than
A Republican Gang
Try to Entangle Sheriff Moody
In Their Killing Of"
Program.

'se.S 0sosS VI
North Dakota vs. Eugene Cook
came up for a preliminary
hearing before Justice Jurgen-
sen, Tuesday, and occupied the
attention of the court the
greater part of the day. Cook
was charged with keeping and
maintaing a common nuisance.
The defense, if it could have
been called defense, was Civ
en- secondary place and the
main object seemed to have
been to be-smear Sheriff
Moody's character. Cook was
practically not considered at
all, as far as his defense was
concerned. The case took on
a decidedly political phase,
and it looked as if the killing
off" process that the Republi-
can gang" have been trying to
carry out for SO long was the
main object in view, as all the
witnesses were examined
closely as to who they saw in
the place. After much parley-
ing some acknowledged that
they had seen Sheriff Moody
there. This, of course, is what
the gang" wanted and what
they will try and make politi-r
cal capital of. Before the case
was called it was given out that
Sheriff Moody was to be
"shown up.
However, to their consterna-
ton the testimony brought out
the fact that a number of
leading lights of the Republi-
can gang" were frequenters
of this resort. In fact one of
the gentlemen was very promi-
nent in conducting the last
Republican campaign, and has
since been given a government
position. We may print some
of the testimony next week
just to show the people who
the gentlemen are who help to
keep the "pigs" alive by their
patronage-while all the time
their party is crying to have
the law enforced.
They know no more now than
before they started, what
Sheriff Moody's object was in
being in this place. This much
however is evident: Cook was
arrested and some two dozen
witnesses were called to testify
against defendant. Moody
evidently had his eyes open, as
usual, when he was in there.
OF course the Republicans will
only make mountains out of
the fact that he was in there.
After all the talk before the
hearing of how "Moody was
going to be shown up it is
laughable to see how flat it fell
through.
The evidence stood uncon-
tradicted that Cook was keep
ing and maintaininga common
nuisance in violation of the
prohibition law, and he was
held to the district court in
500 bonds.
