of independence Prepared
as Government Publication

nous American Document

WASHINGTON Feb. 1S.-Colonel
William H. Michael, chief clerk of the
State Department, by order of Con-
gress, has published book, giving an
Illustrated history of the Declaration
OF Independence with the biographies
and portraits of the signers and the
secretary of the Congress The ad-
vance COPIES of this work have been
received at the department. The illus
trations include not only photographs
of the famous state paper in It's present
decayed condition, but also number
of photographs taken when the docu-
ment was in better state of preSer-
vation
The volume was prepared primarily
as an aid to those in charge of the ex-
hibit of the Department of State at
expositions in explaining that part of
the exhibit relating to the Declaration
of Independence. The series Of por
traits of the signers is complete and
there is an interesting fac-simile of
the broadside copy of the Declaration
signed by John Hancock, President of
the Congress for and on behalf of the
members of Congress, attested by
Charles Thomson, Secretary.
Especially interesting is the COR
Tespondence relating to the Declara-
tion, which is given. Because of the
historic value of the work of Colonel
Michael, Congress ordered the book
printed as Government publication.

Lee Look Prefers Quiet of
Santa Clara County Jail
to Life of San Quentin
OLD AGE MAY KILL HIM
Murderpus Mongolian Finds
His Tong Brothers Ready
to Save Him at Any Cost

Lee Look, the San Jose Chinese high
binder and murderer seems to have
good chance of living to "a ripe old
age in spite Of the fact that he has
thrice been sentenced to death. He has
been in San Quentin for the last six
weeks. but the climate of the place
and the accommodations do not suit
his fastidious taste, so he has asked
the Supreme Court to let him return
tc comfortable quarters in the Santa
Clara County Jail. Chief Justice Be
atty has directed that Lee be brought
into court tomorrow morning.
The prisoner murdered Lee Wing,
fellow countryman, in San Jose five
years ago during the course of a high
binder war. When Lee Look was ar
rested bis tong raised money for the
defense, and it has cost the murderous
organization pretty penny to keep
the assaSsins cerebral vertebrae in
position.
At the first trial Lee Look was con-
victed, but the Supreme Court reversed
the lower court because the informa-
tion had not charged the prisoner with
killing human being. Another con-
victioE was nullified because of further
technical errors. A third conviction
WAS sustained by the Supreme Court.
The matter was then taken to the
United States Supreme Court on
writ of error After a long delay the
writ was denied. Lee came up smiling
biandly for his third sentence to death.
Then Attorney "a. H. Jarman, repre-
senting the prisoner, went to Washing
ton, D. c., and showed Justice Nc
l<enna that technical errors had been
made in his clients case. Lee Look
was given another lease of life, and
the Sheriff of Santa Clara County was
Instructed to bring his prisoner to
Washington on March 6 of this year.
Under favorable circumstances the
Chinese should hear from this proceed
ing early in 1907.
Meanwhile the Sheriff grew sick of
seeing Lee Looks expansive smile and
carried him over to San Quentin to
| amuse Warden Tompkins. Lee became
homesick, however, and decided to go
back to San Jose. Attorney Jarmap
therefore told Chief Justice Beatty that
the Sheriff had no right to relinquish
custody of the prisoner while an ap-
peal was pending in the United States
Supreme Court, and the State Supreme
Court will see if this claim is justified
in to-morrow's hearing.

for her support pending the trial of
her suit for 500 month for sepa-
rate maintenance, met her husbands
motion for a dissolution of the injunc-
ton tying up his money and property
by an affidavit which blames him for
her bad hibts. She says that soon af-
ter they were married in July, 1903,
he sent her to ST Helena to manage
the Stone Bridge saloon, an immoral
resort, and there she acquired the
habit of drinking, smoking and using
vile language. She also says that the

gun by Gussie V. Goldman against Jo-

cruelty. In the Ebe case the husband
charges that his wife left home for a
week in company with man named
William Raber, but he condoned her
offense upon her promise to be good
in the future. He says, however, that
her subsequent actions prove that she
made the agreement in bad faith.

ELECTION BOARD
IS ARRAICNED
Demurrer and Notions Are
Filed With the Object of
Quashing the Proceedings
SEVERAL POINTS RAISED
Allege That Court Has No
Jurisdiction and That Sole
Power is Vested in Mayor

The Election Commissioners, ac-
cused by the Grand Jury of malfeas-
ance in office, appeared before Judge
Lawlor yesterday afternoon and were
arraigned. When asked to plead their
attorney, T. " Gator, filed demurrer
tc the accusation and two motions.
one to dismiss and the other to ar
rest the proceedings.
In the demurrer it is alleged that
the court has no jurisdiction, because
the power to remove the defendants
from office is solely vested in the
Mayor by the charter and that the
facts alleged do not constitute a pub
lice offense.
In the motion to dismiss the points
are advanced that the accusation was
not legally found or presented and that
prior to the finding of the accusation
the defendants were compelled to go
the matters charged against them in
the accusation.
In the motion to arrest the proceed
ings the allegation is made that the
court has no jurisdiction, inasmuch
as prior to January II, the date on
which the accusation against the de-
PENDANTS was filed, the charges and
matters set forth therein had been
laid before the Mayor and are still
pending before him. 1t was therefore
asked that the proceedings be arrested
until the determination by the Mayor
of the proceedings before him.
1t was late in the afternoon before
the papers were filed, and, as the
Judge had other cases requiring his
attention. it was decided that the argu-
ments on the demurrer and motions
SE E011I6 be,
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The defend
ants were excused from further at
tendance till the demurrer and motions
were disposed of.

BIG ATKINSON PICNIC
DELEGATIONS FROM MANY
POINTS ATTENDED.
BASEBALL STRIKES A WOMAN
Mrs. Wallace Fullerton, Wife Of One
Of the Players, Was Struck by a
Flying Baseball - Worst Rain in
Years Strikes the Picnic.

Atkinson, Neb., June 21,-Special to
The News: The Odd Fellows picnic
occurred yesterday, and the weather
man was kind to provide three fourths
of a fine day the latter part of the
day ending with the very worst rain
of the season so far IT was beau
tiful morning and the Atkinson odd
Fellows band was out early to meet
the trains, and welcome the visitors
from abroad. The speaker of the day,
Mr.. j. S. HOagland Of North Platte,
arrived on the early train Monday,
and so was on hand, all right. The
ladies basket ball team OF Newport
came down in the morning, as aslo
delegations from Stuart, O'Neill, New
port, Dustin, Bassett and other points.
The procession formed on Main street
and marched several blocks to the
music of the band, and seats had also
been arranged for the people, and a
fine program given here before dinner.
Rev. Mr.. Alexander gave the address
of welcome to the visitors, and 1t
was royal welcome j. S. Hoagland
then entertained the audience for
time on the secrets of Odd-fellowship,
and of course the people were very
much wiser on that point when he
was through, but nevertheless well
entertained. A basket dinner was
served, and fully enjoyed by all.
The basket ball game was won by
the Newport team, against the Atkin-
son ladies', who have just recently or
ganized.
A fine foot race was won by home
girl, Verna Purnell, against a New
port girl.
Mr.. Hardy, the expert traveller for
the Peters Cartridge company gave
an exhibition of his skill in markham
ship, which was fine.

tors, but was called away before the
dinner hour arrived,
A ball game was in progress when
a serious accident happened. A ball
struck a lady in the face and loosened
one tooth, cut quite a cash in the gum,
and otherwise injured the face, but at
present writing no further trouble is
anticipated Mrs. Wallace Fullerton
whose husband was playing in the
game, was the unfortunate. This
caused considerable excitement and
the game ceased. People then came
back to town, just in time to escape
the worst rain and wind that has
passed over this vicinity in a lone
time. It is safe to say that three
inches of rain fell in forty-five min
utes. About 500 people were in at

mon, which was his last as presiding
vention OF this district, as his term
of office closes with this fall when
the conference which meets at Al.
bion on September will choose his
successor. The doctor took his text
from First Corinthians 3:16, Know
We not that We are the temple Of God,
and that the spirit of God dwelleth in
you?"
Some of the thoughts expressed
were:
There is one fact in the world, and
that is the fact OF sin in the world Sa.
tan is in the world and the result is
sin. The child is pure when II is born
into the world, atoned for by the
blood of Christ, and remains sinless
until 1t goes out in open rebellion
against God, when it loses by its own
choice the divine nature and excludes
the Holy Spirit. but is until the TEN
pie of the Spirit of God. The temple
is suggestive of the house of God; all
the sacred hallowed services of the
sanctuary are in the thought Of the
the temple of God; the incarnate prin-
ciples of the eternal God are repre-
sented in the human body as the tenn
pie Of God. God gave us the ideal
man in the person of Jesus Christ.
Christ came on the mission of the
-. s,..s
must be fulfilled There are three
facts in connection with the savior:
/. The fact Of Jesus Christ in his
life and death. 2. The fact of His
resurrection g. The fact Of His as
cension to glory. These things are
attested by history, both religious and
profane. The prophesies which were
proclaimed hundreds of years before
the events in the life, death and res
direction of Christ and the historical
evidence Of their fulfillment is evi
dence to these truths. We would
have to set aside all evidence to dis.
believe in Jesus Christ. The grand
est, noblest and truest thing any one
can do is to believe in Jesus Christ.
The testimony Of the Roman
guards, Of the friends Of Christ, OF the
angels who came to witness to the
event Of his resurrection, the fact that
his promises for the outpouring Of
His spirit upon His disciples which
was fulfilled on the day Of Pentecost,
and which has been given in proof
of His ever living with power at the
throne of God. His last earthly work
was to pronounce blessing upon His
disciples then He ascended and has
been giving His blessing ever since.
Every sinful man may be regenerated
and become temple of God. We
should keep these bodies pure and
clean as temples of God.

CREAM BUSINESS GROWS
CREAM TRAINS WILL BE NEEDED
BEFORE LONG.
THE HAY COUNTRY LOOKS WELL
j. 3. MayIard of Norfolk Has Just Re.
turned From Keya Paha County and
Other Parts of the Great New
NorthWest-Much Impressed.

"The cream business is the coming
business for great many farmers in
the northwest" said ]. b. Maylard of
Norfolk, who has just returned from
an extended trip through the country
of Keya Paha county and the terri
tory around Newport, Stuart, Bassett,
and Atkinson. 81 was surprised to
note the remarkable cream business
that is being done. From Newport
Friday evening there were eighty-fve
cans of cream shipped into Omaha.
and it is the same from other points.
"One farmer, about sixty-five years
old, said that where three years ago
he was compelled to ask credit of
the grocer for -four, today, off the
cream business, he has money in the
bank. If he had only been doing this
during his younger years he figures

said. 4 can make better money of
of cream.
There is a general belief that before
many more moons it will be necessary
to run cream trains through this sec
tion of the country, to handle nothing
but the cream from the small towns
as the stops at stations for cream are
numerous and sometimes lengthy
now.
The country near Newport and
Springview, and throughout that sec
ton of the northwest, is, according tC
Mr.. Maylard, looking fine. The wet
weather has helped them out wonder
fully and the hay is at its best. Corn
is a little backward and some of the
farmers who had started to raise il
for their pigs, are figuring on selling
their little stock, because of lacl
of corn to feed next winter.
