destroying nearly $1,000 worth OF

GONE BACK TO HRATHENIsKI.
Returns to His Old Tribe and Be.
cores Its Ohicf.


A dispatch from Huntington, Ind. i.
says: The executive committee Of
the missionary board of the United
Brethren in Christ has dropped from
the rolls of the chruch Daniel Flick
1nger Wilberforce, native African,
who was brought to this country as a
child and, after being educated, was
returned by the board to his old tribe
as missionary. It is charged by the
board that after service of 25 years
as missionary the negro minister has
been lured back to heathenism, has
become chief uf his old tribe of devil
~orshippers and has contracted plural
marriages in the wllds OF Africa.
Nearly SO years ago Daniel Kumier
flickinger, then secretary OF the mis-.
sionary BOARD OF the chuoh, was in
West Africa on mission work. Whie
visiting Congregational missionary,
announcement was made that male
child had been born in the negro vii.

namesake at work at the missionary
house in New York. DR.. Flickinger
took the lad to Dayton, o. The boy
was sent to school, then through high
shool and later to medical college at
Cleveland. He married negress at
Dayton. Later the two went to Al
rica to do missionary work among the
old tribes from which Wilberforce
came. Later the missionary and
family returned to this country and
Wilberforce lectured throughout the
central States. His four children, two
daughters and two sons attended

Cotton Estimates.

The idea Of Issuing semi. monthly
cotton estimates, instead of monthly
est mates, by the agricultural depart.
ment, has agail been rejected by the
Republican majority in the national
house Of representatives. The senate
committee was favorable to the
change, but the house members, at
the instance chiefly Of Statistician
Hyde, OF the agricultural department.,
worked It's death
Mr.. Hyde's chief objection to the
issuance OF semi monthly cotton esti-
mates, 1t appears, is the fact that
they will cost the government some
money, where's the data upon which
the present guesses are based is OBJ
tanned free from volunteers. That,
II he has not been misquoted, Is his
prOfessed reason for not wishing for a
change. The Atlanta Journal voices
the sentiments OF every right think
ing man when it says:
But suppose 1T does cost the gov
ernment money to maintain depend.
able system Of collecting information.
Everything useful must be paid for.
We don't exactly follow the argument
OF the statislician to the effect that
the present system costs nothing, for
certainly 1T takes up the time Of the
department clerks even to make
gu, sses at the crop. But even IT, it
costs the government nothing, 1t has
proved itself to be mighty expensive
system to the planters on numerous
occasions, and an exceedingly unreli-
able system always.
If the department cannot get the
necessary money to maintain sys.
ten that Is worth something, 1t would
be better not to issue estimates at all.
Certainly in that manner the inter
ests of the cotton planters would not
be Injured, and the department. of1i-
cials would not have to suffer under
the general belief that they iusist on
the retention OF the system of month.

Stealing, Pure and Simple.

BY a vote Of ninety to eighty the
National House Of Representatives on
Friday voted itself and the senate
$3.50, 900 mileage for the extra session
OF congress held in November, 1903,
and perpetrated what Is described by
leading members Of congress as petty
theft," but what is stealing, pure and
simple. Mileage is allowed to mem
bers Of congress at the rate of twenty
cents mile going to Washington and
returning home. They are supposed
tn get this mileage for each session
The extra session of congress, held in
1908, ended the same moment the reg
gular session begun. There was no
interim and none Of the members who
voted himself mileage actually took
the Journey. The members did not
even leave their seats.
When an effort was made to put an
extra mileage bill through at the first
regular session, the newspapers dis
cu.sed the matter 80 severely that
the movement became unpopular, and
when the bill was called up mem
her called for the yeas and nays, and
there was stampede to the cloak
room. Practically no member was
willing to step into the open andIvote
for the grab. When Mr.. Shefman
offered his amendment to .he ,ar",'
deficiency bill In comm,.oee bf 4 e
whole, 1t was opposed by Mr.. Under.
wo d, Of Alabama. who was mainly
responsible for defeating it year
ago. He was assisted by Mr.. Little.
field, of Maine; Mr.. Dcafmond, OF
Missouri, and Mr.. Baker, of New
York.
Mr. Underwood said that II this
am ndment passed the members
would be collecting twenty Cents a
mile for trip they had never TAX n.
They had not left the capital city and
nor even the q or Of the house. Mr..
Bakar denounced the amenime Mt as a
elab," and tainted the Republicans
by declaring no Republican would dare
to defend the steal. This brought
Mr.. Sherman to his feet, with the
declaration that the amendment had
been adjuAged right and proper by
t"O eminent membarS of the no, Sc,
acting as SPEAKER, on previous occa-
sions. A vote was taken by telers
and the amendment was passed by SO
to 40. Mr.. Underwood called for the
ay, S and noes when the bill was re
ported to the house, and the amend.
ment was sustained by vote of 90 to
80" We have not seen the vote On
he steal. but we feel satisfied that
10 member from this State voted
for it.

with q rifle Sunday and started out to
do murder. AS a result Of the ARRAY
three persons are dead, one Is missing

A child Of the Fills.
Wounded:
DR.. Frank Dulin, police surgeon
Capt. VIM. Bohanna, chief of police,
wounded in leg; Mike Kelly, slightly.
The wife Of GeorgeSchistler is pros
trated over the affair and may die
from the shock.
Schistler had brooded over his
troubles with the Fill family, who
were immediate neighbors, and an
nounced that he would even up
matters. Taking rife of improved
pattern, and buckling' on belt of
smokeless cartridges, he started for
the Fill home. Fill saw Schistler ap-
preaching and making threats. He
tried to avoid him by entering the
house, but Schistler sent bullet into
bis brain and Fill fell dead.
Mrs. Fill rushed to her husband Is
1 side and received a bullet from Schist-
ler's rifle, she too fell dead beside the
lifeless body Of her husband. Schist-
ler then set fire to the Fill home
which was destroyed.
A sou Of the Fills Is missing and is
believed to have perished in the flames.
Satisfying himself that the flames
would perform their mission, Schist
ler returned to Ills home and barri
caded himself. In the Meantime the
neighbors appeared on the scene, but
quickly retreated when bullets from
Schistler's rifle began falling neal
them. A telephone message was sent
to police headquarters and an ambu
lance with Police Surgeon Dulin

Fled to the scene.
Upon the arrival of the officers an6
before they could leave the ambulance

tion Of the former is critical. The
driver reined his horses when another
shot from Schistler dropped one OF
the animals to the ground. With the
assistance OF spectators the wounded
men we're removed from the scene.
a strong array OF police officers was
then sent to the house and after a
furious exchage Of shots the place was
entered and Sohistler was found In q
dying condition. He died soon after
