the ball ground in the afternoon.
His subject was ''rhe Prince OF
Peace" 1t was a fine discourse.
The socialistic debate held in
the Auditorium Saturday after
noon and evening was very in
teresting and instructive. The
Chautauqua management is
awake to the spirit of the times
in helping to educate the people
on a question that is demanding
such attention as this one is.
But since it is supposed by
many that a mere woman can
not grasp the meaning and i'm
mensity of this subject, possibly
we are persuming upon our nat
i've endowments. in attempting to
do so. However it is our hum
bile opinion that nothing but in
attention can make one inditfer-
ent to the great questions that
are before the world today.

Body Of Martin Knapp, Form,
erIy Of Binford, Found by
Boy.

After having rested in a wat
cry grave for period of more
than eight months. the body OF
Martin Knapp, which was so
eagerly longed for by his friends
and relatives, and for which the
bottom of the lake was dragged
almost continually from the time
he was drowned until the ele-
ments of winter stopped the
search, was found during the
forenoon OF Thursday, July 18th
by Herman Schindele, who with
a parry of other boys, went to
the lake to swim. Schindele is
a boy about fifteen years of age
and, as he went down to the
shore his attention was attrac-
ted by what he though to be a
peculiar object, whereupon he
went to it and found it to be the
body of the unfortunate man.
At the time Mr.. Knapp and
his friends went to the lake, they
spent. the first night at the home
of Mr.. Schindele, the boys faith
er, so that he was thereby enabl-
ed to recognize to body by the
clothing, this being the only
method because of the flesh OF
the face and head having been
removed by the action Of the wa.
ter. AS soon as possible after
the finding of the body. August
Schindele. cousin of Herman,
was sent to Binford to convey
the tidings to those who were
anxiously awaiting some favor
able report in that connection
although a great many had ne
hopes of the body ever being re
covered. He arrived here Al
about 8 O'Clock in the evening
and in less than an hour nearly
everyone had heard the news. A
party at once began preparations
to get the body home, and, after
having a sealed coffin made
went with it to the scene, leav
ing here at about II O'Clock the
same night and arriving there
next morning.
The body was found on the
east shore of the head of the
lake and about one mile sOutf
of the line along which the de
ceased was believed to have beer
drowned, and along which al
efforts we're made to recover the
body last fall. 1t was lying
partly upon the shore and partly
in the water the entire head ano

posed to the air. and these parts
being the most affected. AL

Since the drowning there has
been considerable diversity of
opinion as to whether or not de.
ceased had removed the loaded
shells, of which he was believed
to have several boxes, from his
pockets when he at last realized
that he was doomed to battle for

milton, and the belief is that he
had in his pockets good supply
of heavy ammunition that helped
bear him downward and to pre-.
vent the body from rising with
in the usual time. The lower
part of the back of the coat was
missing, which would tend to
strengthen the theory that the
action of the water had so weak
ened the material in the coat
that the weight of ammunition
tore thai part of the coat away,
and the body was allowed to
come to the surface. Some
again argue that there were evi.
dences of the coat having been
+! !gnawed by animal inhabitants of
the water. The pants pockets
contained $7.35 in change, and a
bill l-book found in the clothing
contained a number Of papers
the value of which can not be
ascertained as the water has
practically ruined them; the
watch and chain were also fonnd
in the proper place.
Nothing but the skull remain
ed by which to identify the head
and a portion of the flesh of the
fingers was gone which left the
joints exposed. What held the
body to the bottom during the
warm weather of last October is
not known, but the opinion OF
some is to the effect that the
ammunition, being of cohsidera
BILE weight, prevented it from
rising while credence is giver
the theory that the clothing be
came entangled among objects
at the bottom of the lake.
The funeral was held from the
home in Binford at 3 O'Clock Fri
day afternoon, and was attended
by a large gathering Of admirine
friends from all parts of the sur
rounding country. The cere
mony was conducted by Rev
Dybyik of the United Norweg
ian Luthern Church of which de
ceased was member, and inter
ment was made in the Lutheran
Cemetery southwest of town.

HAMILTON
IN HONOLULU

Among the arrivals by the Manchuria
today is Right Reverend john w.
Hamilton d. D., LII. d. One of THE
most noted bishops in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. His home is in San
Francisco. He will remain several
weeks in the island. Bishop Hamilton
was born in Old Virginia in the early
fortes. He was educated i'm Ohio, gra-
duating from Mt Union College i'm '65
and completing his studies in Boston,
receiving the degree of NJ. A. from
Boston University in 20. Later he
was honored with d. D. from WEES
leyan University, Connecticut, and LII.
d. from the University of Southern
California.
Bishop Hamilton began his remark
able career as great preacher and
pastor in P'ttsburg, Penn. from which
city he VS., upon request, transferred
to Boston, and became the founder of
the now well known peoples church"
of which he was a pastor for nine con-
secutive years with markable success
as a pulpit orator and great organizer.
He was elected by his annual confer
once with larger voting majorities as
q delegate to the Quadrennial General
Conferences in 'S4 'SS, 80, '96 and 1900
In the latter year he was elected bishop
and since that has resided i'm san Fran

cisco, travelling extensively throughout
the country. The Bishop was also
elected as a member Of the great Ecu
menical Conference at Washington in
81 and was sent by the Board of Bish-
opps as a fraternal delegate to the
Methodist conference in England and
Ireland a few years ago.
Bishop Hamilton is also an author
of high rank and such works as "Tes-
sic Lee and the Old Elm" are widely
read. He is an interchangeable worker
and it is no exaggeration to say that
he has raised directly or indirectly a
half-million dollars for Pacific Coast
Methodists during his five years resi-
dends in San Francisco. He appears
frequently on the lecture platform and
always attracts crowded houses. He
has been secured for at least two lee
lures while in the city, one on "SOme
Persons I Have Known in Boston,"
which will be delivered in Punahou
College, Friday evening, January 5; the
other on Mexico; It's Marauders, Mira
cle,s Men'-place and time to be an
nounced later.
Mrs. Hamilton and their daughter
Gertrude accompany the bishop, as
well as two or three other personal
friends. The bishop will occupy the
pulpit of the First NJ. e. church of this
city next Sunday both morning and
evening, and then preach at the organ
izatiHn of the Missionary Con-
ference of the Methodist Workers of
the islands, December 1881, of which
