FOrCefuI Sermon to His
Congregation.

"Setting Good Example" was the
subject of Rev. B. T. O'Connell's
sermon in Sc. MaIy's Roman Catholic
churc'' yesterday. He spoke of the
recent election and particularly of
selling votes.
Ho said that anv man who sold his
vote had committed sin ani should
not have absolution. To sell your vote
is to sell your right, the priest ex-
planned. He said he was sorry for
any man who had gotten so low as to
soil his vote, and he was afraid that
some catholic men of this city had
done so.
The work for the coming fair is
getting along rapidly and Father
o Conncll is we'll pleased. Books are
rapidly being filled and many mer-
chants have donated articles of value.
The fair,as told in the News, will be

After the supreme court affirmed he

to seek to get of as lightly as possible
by cOnfessing. Gutke and Kelly say
that Butler gave Kelly irSt SIS, 900

the country so that he might not be
used as a witness Butler cannot, Of
course, be tried again for the part he
is alleged to have had in the lightning
deal, having been acquitted Of that
charge. But the hiring of Kelly to
leave the country is aseparate offence;
and it remains to be S en- whether a
man may be convicted Of compounding
a felony when he has been acquitted
of the original felony.

Ter has long been the trusted and
trustworthy agent for corporations
and promoters who have sought to get
by bribery valuable franchises and
privileges from the municipal council
OF St. Louis. This seems to have been
his business for years. Everybody
knows of Butler because he was a
political character, having a powerful
influence In several OF the river wards
of the city. or course Butler was
only an ''agent" 10 these deals, except
in the garbage contract deal, having
no personal or financial interest in the
gas or electric plants or any Of the
street car or traction companies. The
principals have escaped, the statute
of limitation having run ia their

having Kelly to keep out Of the coun.
