able to do so, / will advise you to read
il when YOU get home. Tie speech
came from the heart AID went 20 the
heart. IL may serve as u Of the
ideals.
In Acts, chapter IL, is mentioned a
meeting of Jew-C Christians where those
of the circumcision undertook TO lecture
the Apostle Peter because he went into
the house OF a Gentle and ate with
them. The little speech IN which Peter
explained to them how the call from
God to 90 to Cornelius in Casarea came
to him in q vision of a foalded sheet
holding such animals as the Jews were
forbidden 10 eat, and how, when he
began TO speak IN those gathered in the
house with Cornelius, "the Holy Ghost
fell upon them as upon US in the begin
ming" That speech was convincing.
Let ii be one of the ideals.
In Acts, chapter 20, we read hat the
Apostle Paul, being on the way TO
Jerusalem and having no time TO stop
at Ephesus, sent word to the Elders Of
the church in that city and they came
to meet him. His touching farewell
speech to those Christians may be held
as one of the ideals.
Also a speech of the same Apostle, in
his W defence, before King Agrippa
and Goyarnor Eaotpo IN obaptar 0e
Finally, let me call your attention to
the prayer of King Solomon at the
dedication of the temple in Jerusalem
With the whole people of Isreal for
audience, he lifted up his voice in a
prayer which, in form and sentiment is
such, that it is used by our ministers at
the dedication of Lutheran churches.
Let these hints serve as admonition
to try your best in the matter of using
correct language in all your intercourse
with fellowmen. But speech is, how
ever, only garb in which our thoughts
are presented. 1t is therefore Of greatest
importance to engage the mind with
things that will create and nourish
bright and clear thoughts. For such
purpose l have not found anything
more to the purpose than reading.
Besides the bible and our touching
hymns, the works, in prose and verse,
of our o writers.
From such fountains you will do
well to enrich you heart and mind.
And from such stores of knowledge and
the bright and cheering pictures thus
impressed on your mind in the days of
childhood and youth, you will surely be
able 20 get comfort when the evening of
life draws nigh And you will be able
to make these words OF the poet your
own.
Zen rho1gh tears my eyes are
binding,
Harm my soCI It's wings of song,
Shall again the caste buildiEg
From my youth 20 me belong"

We free and independent Americans

ing crowds. But that ~paternalism sees
to it that no firetraps like the Seen.

excursion steamers. 1t keeps an official
at every wharf whence such steamers
sail to see that the requirements of law
as to fire apparatus, life boats, life pre-
servers aud other appliances Of safety
are strictly complied with and that no
risk is run through ayoidable imperfec-
tons in anything. So we seldom hear
of disasters at all comparable to those
almost every year occurring on American

A LIQUOR LICENSE.
Judge Writings Deci.
sion in the Hetland
Case.
He Holds That Under the Law
License Cannot be Issued
Unless Vote is Taken
Each Year.

Taubman g. Williamson received a
telegram from Judge Chas. s. Whiting,
of DeSmet, notifying them that he had
granted the peremptory writ of prohi-
bition against the town of Hetland pre-
venting the authorities from issuing a
license to sell intoxicating liquors at
retail. In 1903 the town of Hetland
voted upon the question, "Shall intoxi-
eating liquors be sold at retail?" A
majority being in favor of the sale,
licences were granted. No vote was
had thereon and no petition filed for a
vote in 1904.
The anti-saloon league commenced
an action for a writ of prohibition to
prevent the officers frop. issuing licen-
ses, upon the grounds that under the
laws of the state no license can be
issued unless there is an affirmative vote
authorizing the same each yeal, and the
court holds with them. This decision
is Numerically opposed to the generally
accepted practice of the state. 1t has
been conceded that the law was a licence
law and could only be changed by a
vote against the sale. However, if this
decision is upheld it will prevent the
issuing of licenses for the sale in each
and every town, city and precinct where
no vote was held at the last municipal
election, and in the future those desir-
ing the sale will be compelled to petit
ton and have an affirmative vote annu-
ally.

New Treatment for Bright,s
Disease.

1t was not many years ago that med
ical science looked on Bright's disease
as a fatal malady. 1t is not so now.
This disease of the kidneys is regarded
as no longer incurable, though it must
be admitted that the treatment is still
largely in the experimental stage.
The trouble heretofore has been to
reach the seat of the disease with medi-
cine strong enough to destroy the germs
which Sc the disease, and still mild
enough nct TO set up a dangerous infia-
nation in the stomach and intestinal
tract. The difficulty has been overcome
by the invention Of a catheler by means
of which the necessary medicines car
be discharged directly upon the affected
organs. This car be done without the
necessity of an incision. Prof. Ayres
of the New York Post-G raduate hos
pital at the recen meeting of the
American medical society outlined the
new treatment very fully and spoke
highly of its possibilities in effecting a
speedy and permanent cure.
1t is interesting to note also that sur
gerry is doing its fair share in attacking
Bright's disease. The operation is still
also in the experimental stage, but much
is hoped for from it. The operation
consists in the removal of the covering
Of the kidneys-the wrapper If you
please-with the result of allowing the
kidneys to expand, to relieve the pres
sure upon it, and to form increased
power Of drainage. This operation has
severel times been successfully per-
formed of late, and those who are most
posted upon it, believe 1t will come to
take a permanent place in surgery.

RUSSIANS WON'T PUBLISH
REPORT OF THE BATTLE.

St. Petersburg, June 26.-Up 20 to-
night the japanese report of the loss
Of three Russian ships at Port Arthur
has not been published here, though
the authorities have allowed to be
nrinted a statement that the squadron
had made a sortie and also the news
Of the loss of Japanese torpedo boat
destrovers. Some of the papers have
even commented with satisfaction on
the prospect of fight in the open sea,
where the merits of the two fleets
would be fairly tested.
An official explanation of the sup
nression of the japanese report is that
the admiralty is unwilling to unnec-
essarily alarm the public by the pub
lioation of such statements entirely on
the authority Of the enemy and in the
absence OF definite advices from the
commander at Port Arthur.
The officials do not attempt 10 6is-
quiee the seriousness OF and the far
reaching consequences which might re-
ault from the loss OF three Of the Port
Arthur warships, but they profess 70 be

LAW To REPEAL
THE STATE CODE
is SOUGHT BY JOE HALL
HE WILL INTRODUCE A BILL IN
THE HOUSE.

The PnssnEe of Such a Bill would
Reduce the Code to the stains of
Reference Book Leaving Only
the statute Laws in Forec-Mr.
Hall Says the Present Code Is FuIs
of Errors and Contradictions
After the Corporations.
Atlanta, June 26.-Hon. Joe Hill Hall
of Bib, will introduce a bill In the
House tomorrow to repeal the law
which enacted into law the present
state code. The effect of such a law.
If passed. would be to reduce the code
of 1895 to mere reference book leav-
ing only the statute laws in force.
Mr.. Hall says his reason for doing
this is that the present code is full Of
errors ana contradictions. For in
stance, the constitution provides that
election returns shall be sent to the
Secretary of State, unless otherwise or
dered by the Legislature. In the same
code appears the old law requiring these
returns to be made to the Executive
Department. There is serious doubt If
in enacting the code the Legislature
did not re-enact the old law about these
returns, Mr. Hall says, and The
chances are that they should be made
to the Governor.
Mr.. Hall states this is only a sample
of the many contradictions and err
rors, there being numerous instances
of where the repeating law and the law
repealed both appear In the code.
Mr.. Hall will also introduce a oill re-
quiring all municipalities to collect tax
from corporate property on the assess
ments and providing that such assess
ments shall not be less than those
which are made by the state and coun-
ty tax receiver. The object of this bill,
though general one, is to require the
Macon authorities to collect tax on a
comparatively full valuation from the
corporations in that city. One in
stance is given where a. corporation lin
Macon is assessed at 100000 and pays
taxes on only $25,o00. Practically ev-
cry corporation in that city, it is said,
is similarly treated.

Mrs. Anna Kelsdzick gave up the strug-

children and then ended her own life.
Illuminating gas was the means of de-
struction she adopted, and when the
bodies were found early to-day all four
had been dead several hours.
The family lived in three small rooms
at 965 North Robey street. and to-day
a constable was to eject the mother

little ones Bruno, Herman and Walter,
aged 7. 5 and years respectively. All
three were found in bed locked in enc
another's arms. The mothers lifeless
body was found lying on the kitchen
floor, while gas was escaping from a
jet in the room.
That the woman made every prepa-
ration to do away with herself and
children was evident. She first wrote
and sealed a letter addressed to a rel
ative in Germany Then she bathed
herself and donned clean linen. Each
child had also been given a bath, clean
night gowns placed upon them and the
little ones sent to the sleep from which

ficent protection Finland has developed
