torney made the order was the belief
that Christie has perjured himself in
his testimony.
Christie is the witness against whom
testimony of impeachment was made
by j. F. McCorkle and others for the
purpose of showing that Christie mad
offered to testify for the prosecution,
accompanying his offer with an in
quiry as to what there was in it."
No information has been flied against
Christie, mad it is not likely that there
will be. He is said to have been un-
der the influence of liquor more Or
less for some time. He is said to be
one of the best woodsmen that ever
swung an AK, when in a condition to
work. Christie was released from the
Steilacoom asylum about montn ago,
after having spent some time there az
result of alcoholic mania.

at County Expense.

Joe Davis and Martin Goshen who
were detected in the act of stealing q
number of shirts from a local junk
shop were up before Judge Huffman
Saturday afternoon. Davis was given
a 3O-day sentence and Goshen was
handed a 25-day package. Both men
went to Jail. Davis was just released

like Jail life. About month ago he
was convicted of stealing some butch
er knives at Prescott and was SEN
fenced to 20 days in the county Jail.
Chief Brown has requested that the
men be put to work and no doubt
Sheriff Painter will see tnat the men
are given plenty to do around the jail

the governor assured the mayor that
it would take but two hours to place
troops on the streets of Chicago in case
the mayor made the request. A call
for 200 more policemen was made to-

CHICAGO, May 22.-The failure of
peace negotiations in the final stage
lends sinister aspect to the teamsters'
strike today. The city and county au-
thorities are preparing armed forces
which now number $500 for the re-
newal of violence and the spread of
dissatisfaction to a vastly larger num-
ber of men. Practically all negotia-
tiOns for peace are off and both sides
are adjusting themselves for an even
more determined struggle Sheriff
Barrett and Mayor Dunno reiterate
their determination to call for troops
the moment their forces are unable to
quell disorder The first movement
toward a spread strike came this
morning when 100 teamsters of Ed
ward HES L. Br. Co. struck because
charged for refusing to deliver ma
terial to unfair department stores.
This is thought to be the beginning Of
a movement which is likely to tie up
all building operations in Chicago.
Thirty teamsters of the Rittenhouse
& Embree Lumber company walked
out rather than make deliveries to boy
cotted concerns. Early trains brought
$50 additional strike breakers from In
dianapolis and Cincinnati. Another
consignment is expected this evening.
Joseph CviOla being mistaken for a
strikebreaker while on his way to work
this morning was assaulted on Jack
son boulevard and Jefferson and SER
iously injured. His assailants took
$76 from him. Six suspects have been
arrested.
Frank Voelker, a press feeder, was
shot and badly wounded during the
night as the result of an encounter
with Special Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald.

only by eason of lack of tempta-
ton"
Are the lilies less beautiful be-
cause they are unable to endure
the frost? Isn't it a fact that en-
vironment has more to do with the
building of character than all else
combined? The endeavor of all
good parents to surround their
children with the best possible in
fluence proves it. While l don't
hold one who yields to temptation
blameless, l do believe that the
weak should be as much as pos
sible shielded from temptation. l
believe the strong would be better
also without than with it.
Soldiers are a necessity so long
as we have wars, but when var is
looked upon as murder, and ma
tons become really civilized, the
skilled warrior will not be needed
and humanity will avoid a great
waste of energy. So, also, when
temptation is reduced to the mini
mum much loss of energy will be
avoided; many beautiful lives
saved to the world and society and
much misery sorrow and sin for
ever removed from humanity.

WHAT no, you Republican State
officials! IT'S now nigh unto
three months since you assumed
your positions, and not a Demo-
cratic theft of State funds have
you reported. There is one Dustin
of the Salaam headlight has for
years demonstrated-by "figgers,'
mind you--he's great on figgers,
is Bustin--that no less than 'steen
millions and several hundred thou
sands Of dollars, to say nothing OF
the odd cents, in cold cash, has
been wrung from the toiling mass
es and diverted into the gaping
pockets of the grating Bourbons
who misruled Poor Old Missouri
for three mournful decades. Why
are not the guilty exposed and
held up to public scorn? Why
are not the penitentiary doors
swinging wide for their entrance?
This must be amended without
