THE MADDOX
MURDER CASE
Set For Trial In the Rails County Circuit
Court On June 18th.

The case of the state against
Jas Maddox. charged with the
murder of Dick Moss at Hunt
lngton, Rails Co., has been set
for trial in the Rails county
circuit court on June 25th at
New London. A venire of fifty
Jurors has been ordered from
which to select jury to try tn e
case. When Maddox was ar
ranged, charged with the muir
der, he entered a plea of not
guilty, and the case was set for
trial at the date above mention =
ed. He was remanded to Jail
and is now behind the bars in
the Rails county jail,
1t is understood that his de-
tense will be self defense and
as no one was present when the
killing occurred the evidenc e
will all be circumstantial. 1t
is claimed and can no doubt be
proven that Maddox is partial ly
demented and has been for qui tie
a long time.-Hannibal Journal

TEMPERANCE PEOPLE
RAP BISHOP POTTER
His Plan Designated Utopian-Reformers Cannot I'm
derStand Basis of His Reasoning-Bxpect Failure.

Will the step Bishop Potter has taken
i'm opening a saloon in New York yes
terday be generally indorsed?
Bishop Potter is acting on the prin-
ciple that if mon will drink it is best
TO have them do it in a decent place. and
he characterizes the efforts Of the Anti
Saloon League to close the saloons as
either the most tragic or the most
comic in history
In this city, at least temperance lead
ers differ with him. They say the idea
is faulty, and a deriment to humanity.
They are indignant-shocked.
The Bishop Eus.
The Rev. Charles Butler, an officer of
the Anti-SalOOn League. was the first
TO express an opinion. He~said:
q have no doubt but that the step
taken by Bishop Potter was actuated by
the best of motives but he eTrs in judg
ment. He hopes to attain the impossible,
and while his statement regarding the
TivOla Gardens is perfectly true, this is
not Copenhagen-the conditions are diff
/ fcrent and l should think Bishop Pot
/ ter would realize the utter impossibility
| of helping anyone through a saloon.
"One might as well try TO put out
FIRE by adding fuel !, along with every
/ one else of average intelligence, know
.
I successful or not, my influence Will al
/ ways be against IL. True. men viii
| drink but I shall not help them to ruin
| themselves. Bishop Potter will never be
! indorsed by the clergy
Mortified at Idea.
Mrs. La Fetra, ex-president Of the W.
! c. T. L. was Mortified at the idea. u
am awfully sorry" she said, that a
man of such great influence should give
his sanction to anything like a saloon.
Can he not realize the absurdity Of at
tempting 70 purify a saloon?
should he succeed it would be worse
than ever for those men who are at
Il present ashamed 10 be seen in saloon
would not hesitate to patrOulze literally
"a place sanctioned by the church.
Bishop Potter Tidicules our nght
against the saloon-I can't understand
il. We know the saloon to be the great
est curse of the nation. and shall con-
tinue 20 put forth every effort 20 sup
press il. I do not believe that the oisa-
ops action Will be sanctioned anywhere
not even by his own church
Ewin Astonished.
James L. Ewin. national president Of
the American Anti-Saloon League, was
astounded at the lack of judgment dis
played by the bishop. Said he:
What makes the saloon "A curse is
drink, and any step making II easier for
men 10 obtain liquor cannot possibly aid
the poorer classes in any way
Instead Of being a good plan. this
Idea Is faulty throughout. OF course
