Words of High Praise.

Among the highly commendatory
press notices Of Mr.. Seabrook's new
book. "Immortality" are the follow
ing:
The Charlotte Observer says
"Mr. Seabrook has a message for the
word and he knows it, and he knows
how to bring it to those who need it
the message of comfort. But this
message is more than the message OF
comfort-it is the clear, ringing mes
sage Of faith and hope-a timely mes
sage, when so much of the literature
OF the dav is tinged with agnostlc or
Buddhistic thought. In this timely
and attractive book. the author IS
never dull or morotonous. Few will
begin to read and lay it down before
thev have read to the end. While it
is written upon an intellectual plan,,
there is scarcely paragraph that
cannot be understood by the most
unintellignt. 1t was evidently the
authors intention to make his work
comprehensive to as many people a>
possible that he might extend its
field of usefulness as far as possible. y
The Baptist Commonwealth says
This is a charming volume on a
most interesting theme. 1t is clear
and compact in statement, and con-
vincing and comforting in argument,
and is well adapted to mellow our
hearts, quicken Our sympathles,
inspire our hopes, and stimulate our
aspirations. The various argument.
for Immortality are presented in
such logical sequence as to render
them easy of comprehension and
retention, and they are illustrated and
enforced by abundant quotations in
poetry and prose which have been
selected with excellent judgment
from the best literature upon this
subject. We have read the book with
delight, and we cannot but hope that

Fires On O'Connor When Latter is
About to Attack
Him.

Henry Vermeesch. in the circuit
court this morning, gave his own YER
sion of the alteration at the saloon
of Leon Callewaert, in East Moline,
last fall, on the day that he fatally
shot John O'Connor. for whose murder
he is on trial.
Four men, strangers to him. entered
the saloon in the afternoon, the witness
said. They apparently had been drink
ing TO excess, but still they wanted
more. They asked for credit, but this
was refused. Vermeesch instead giving
each a glass of beer, and making no
charge. The four men afterward seat
ed themselves around a table in the
room.
They got into a dispute among them
selves. Vermeesch admOnished them
that they would have TO be less demon

and defed Vermeesch TO eject him,
lifting a metal cuspidor from the floor
and hurting it across the bar a Yer
meesch. The missile struck the glass
of the back bar and shattered it, Yer
meesch said that he then realized that
he had TO adopt stringent measures. He
procured his revolver and drew it. but
claimed that he did not do so unul
O'Connor was in the act of picking up
another cuspidor To throw at his head.
He said he pulled the trigger of the re
volver, which he had pointed at O'Con-
nor. but it would not work.
This, he said, was a cue for a new
attack by OConnor, who, noticing that
the gun would not work, made a lunge
at Vermeesch. The latter held the re-
volver pointed at O'Connor, and as he
came toward him, pulled the trigger
again. The first bullet did not seem
to take effect, and he fired once more,
whereupon O'COnnor made for the
door, falling in the entrance. and roll
ing out on the sidewalk. He denied
that he shot O'Connor when he was
down.
Claimed Life In Danger.
Leon Callewaert. proprietor of the
saloon. said he was in his apartment
above the saloon when the shooting
occurred. He hurried to the bar and
saw O'Connor rolling out of the front
doorway. He asked Vermeesch what
he had shot the man for, and he ans
wered that he had to do so or be killed
