PREACHER GETS TEN YEARS
Rev. A. B. riorrison, Who EIoped With Step-Daughter Con-
 victed at Texarkana

Texarkana, July 15.-A. B. Morrison, former Baptist preach CT, was convicted in the Circuit Court on the Arkansas side of town today on an indictmentcharg- ing violation of the age of consent law, and was given a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary. The crime is alleged to have been com mitted ten years ago, the victim being his 13-year-old step-daugh- ter, whose mother he had married two years before. He afterward eloped with the girl, according to the proof submitted at the trial to- day, going first to Oklahoma Ter ritory and afterwards to New Mexico, continuing his preaching all the time. At the end of three years he deserted the girl, leaving her with two children. She after ward returned to her people, liv- ing ten miles south of here, and has since married an honest far mer.
 Six months ago Morrison was ascertained to be in Manchester, Tenn, living with a young wife, whom he had married about year ago. He was arrested and brought back here and has been in jail ever since. His young wife followed and has been loyal to him to the last, hiring out as cook to get mon- ey to help him. He admitted on the witness stand that he was the father of his step-daughter's chil- dren.
 His victim, now a mature wom- an. was the chief witness against him. He affects great piety and claims to be sanctifed.

BITS OF WISDOr1.
(From Bryan's Commoner:)

Earth's greatest heroes do not sleep under towering monuments
 Variety is the spice of life, but too much seasoning spells tho dish.
 You cannot tell 'smuttyr story without getting some of the soot on your soul.
 We can always do better work tomorrow if our memories of to- day are pleasant ones.
 The young man who thinks he knows 1t all is just on the brink of acquiring some knowledge.
 Some mem have rendered their best service to their country by dying for it-others by living for 1t.
 A cistern must be filled before it can be drawn from. So with life-those who put the most into 1t get the most out of it.

WILL KEEP OUT OF POLITICS
Monroe County Farmers Union Unanimously Adopted Reso-
 lutions to that Effect.

Holly Grove, July 14.-More than 5000 people from Monroe and Phillips counties attended t h e Farmers Union barbe- cue five miles from here today. The Monroe county Farmers Un- ion met at 9:3e and every union in the county was represented. $. T. Holloway, the president, called the meeting to order and J. NJ. Lindley, of Holly Grove, the sec retary, called the roll of delegates. Monroe and Phillips counties will be we'll represented at the State Farmers Union to be held in Llt- tie Rock August l.
 The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, The Farmers Union has had an unprecedented growth, and now has practically in it's mem- bersnip all the farmers of Monroe county who are eligible and who have been attracted to the Union because of its non-political declara- tions, and the positive assertion of the heads of the departments that it is business organization;
 We, the members of the Mon roe County Union, reiterate the declaration of our constitution that 1t Is non-polltical organization; therefore, be it
 Resolved, by the Monroe Coun- ty Union, in convention assembled. That we refuse to give any indorse- ment to any party or candidate. either expressed or implied, but that we hold ourselves free to act upon our best individual judg- ments, and that if we need repre- sentation before the courts, legis- lature or elsewhere we select our own brethern to go as a delegated commission and make our wants known"
 At II o'clock the chairman, g. T. Holloway introduced Governor Jeff Davis as the poor mans friend. who would deliver & speech for the Union. Governor Davis said he was glad to meet the farming class and give the Farm CTS Union his official endorse ment or to render them any assistance he could. He discussed the new state house proposition and spoke of the "boodlers" being on the run. He advised the farmers to keep the union out of politics as it would ruin the organization. Tho farmers and laborers were the salt of the earth and should stick to- gether. All other classes were organized, even the 'boodlers'' up there at Little Rock were united as one.

IS 4 TWO-SIDED QUESTION
Hon. John Hindman Writes His Views on the Other Side
 of Prohi Question.
To The Newark Journal.

AAOpihS bllho yOu WILL SlNC lnC space in The Journal that l may make a few remarks on the other side of the prohi question, l pro- ceed to jot them down. 1 hope that the world will not be too harsh on me for attempting to show that nearly all questions of any importance have two sides to them. 1 go into this matter with out any conscientious scruples, feeling that my cause is just. When our great Creator created the things that He did, He certain ly knew what He intended should come to pass. Consequently, fore knowing all things, He created nothing in vain.
 It is said that man is the noblest work of the Creator. He may be, if he does say it himself. There is one thing quite evident and that is that the Creator never created anything in which there exists more difference of opinion than amongst men, on what He did cre- ate. However, we take it for granted that what He did create He pronounced good, and 1t was good. But 1t appears that that most immaculate(!) part of crea- tion, man, was about the first of all creatures to make trouble, and try to run the universe according to his own ideas. And as to ideas, he Is never short on them.
 In His wisdom the Creator cre- ated all living things, and by His inxorable law all living things have to subsist on the nutriment of something else, either animate or inanimate, that exists. This being the case, we again see the wisdom of the Creator in causing this nutriment to exist in condens- ed form. And food for man or beast that does not contain it Is worthless. This nutrimentin con- densed form Is alcohol. The stomach of all warm-blooded ani- mals Is distillery in miniature. And when that distillery is out of order the whole system is out of order.
 AS to quantity in the works of nature, alcohol ranks among the first, as all things, both animal and vegetable, contain it in var ious quantities.
 It is evident, furthermore, that the Creator intended that man, for his smartness, should live by the sweat of his brow. Conse- quently, to make work for all, He ordained that man should produce 1t in large quantities by art, thus making labor for hundreds of thousands. It is evident that the All Wise Being knew that some would use it to excess, thus fulfill ing the behests of His eternal law the survival of the Attest. He knew that certain men would kill themselves by the excessive use of it. This He knew long ages be- fore they were born, but the edict had to be fulfilled, that the Attest might survive, thereby marking the standard of humanity high up. Weed out the weddings that the thrifty might thrive. Of the class that cannot resist this temptation there is not two per cent of all the people. Some very good people seem to be horribly worried over the homes made desolate by the use of alcohol. 1 think it can be shown that five homes are made happy and prosperous, where one is wrecked by strong drink alone.
 If the manufacture and sale of all alcoholic liquors was prohibited

TWO THERMOMETERS
COST MUCH RED TAPE {
Twenty y-eight Officers and Twenty
eight Clerks Must Pass Application
of Engineer officer for Instruments.

An engineer officer stationed at New
England fort who wanted two thernaom-
eters from the War Department to be
used for official purposes, has had an
experience which leads him to believe
that the army has not been relieved OF
red tape by the organization OF the
general staff.
A month ago this officer wrote the adj
jutant Of his district for the two ther-
mometers- Since then the letter has
passed through the hands OF twenty
eight officers and as many clerks. Each
Of the officers has tEfdorsed the appiiea-
tlon. Should the artillery officer buy the
Thermometers with his own money he
would be in danger OF court-martia1 for

can only estimate their moral altitude
by looking down on what happens
elsewhere.
Not long ago, rear the confines of
an ancient Indian settlement, ball
game was interrupted by an injury to
one of the players. The roofing, that
had been rather loud, Quieted at once
to expressions Of sympathy. and the
crowd almost forgot the game in their
anxious sympathy for suffering fell
low-mortal. There was, however, one
Indian there whose savage breast
could not brook even slight delay
in game to which he lent the honor
or his presence and toward the ex-
pense of which he had contributed
his beloved shekeis. From his voice
1t might be inferred that he spelled
the game Base Bawl:" from his
actions one would think his soul was
that Of Nero capable Of turning the
thumb against dying gladiator; as
matter Of fact he was merely a bray
and beyond that nothing.
While the athlete was writhing
upon the ground; while his friends
and a surgeon were doing what they
could for him; while hundreds were
sitting in silent awe at the result of
an unavoidable accident, this unfeel-
ing, inhuman call sullied the air:
Play ball! Take him off, Put an
other in his place. Play BALI"
AS was said, such q thing could not
happen here, and Washingtonians
should congratulate themselves on
their humanity. Ball players are not
| carved out Of the same materials as
chessmen; intellectually and morally
they compare very favorably with the
spectators; and, as athletes, any one
of them is the superior of the insistent
little Indian who wanted to be

MINISTER FROM PERU
MUST GO TO CHILE
Manuel Alvarez CaIderon Transferred
Popular in Washington.

Manuel Alvarez Calderon, Minister
from Peru to the United States. receiy-
ed notice today that his government
has transferred him to Chile.
For the first time in many years Peru
is to have a Diplomatic representative
there. The two countries have always
been fnimica1. Recently, trouble has
broken out again over old boundary dis
puteS, and IL was feared that hostilities
would commence. In order to prevent
war the more conservative heads OF the
governemnt have advised that an at
tempt be made to settle the dispute by
diplomacy.
It is IN this capacity that Mr.. Caide-
ron has been assigned to Santiago. He
has been IN Washington for several
here than any other South American
diplomat.
The Washington times., 1905-05-10
Roofing.

Roofing. in moderation, is good for
the langs, helps to relieve the nervous
tens ion OF watching the game. and
encourages the boys in the field. Root
ing is good thing, and by the same
token it is thing very much over
done.
In Washington one finds the very
highest type of spectators and audi
ences; in fact, the level OF intelligence
and ethical feeling in this city is on
an exalted plane: indeed. the eleya-
ton OF Washington crowd above the
average mob of humanity is so great
that it is startling TO Washingtonians
and almost incomprehensibie TO rival
communities. These things have been
SO drummed into us by our Arch Flat
terer that no good citizen can afford
TO question their axionatic truth.
OF course. no Washingtonian would
ever SO far forget himself as to usurp
the duties OF the captain OF the team
or attempt To direct the game from
his point OF vantage: surely the
species jackass is unknown among
our fans; and never. by any chance,
does anyone here allow enthusiasm
10 go beyond the bounds of modera-
tion or blot out consideration for the
feelings of the splendid men in the
field.
But our citizens, while justly prid-
ing themselves on their own virtues,
