YOUNG MAN
A SUICIDE.
LEE ALvERsoN OF RArAvIAl
SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH
RIFLE.

Batavia, Aug. 15.-(special) Lee
Alverson, aged 20 years, the son Of
Joseph Alverson. weN-te-do farmer,
living near Batavia, committed suicide
yesterday afternoon by shooting him
self with small target rife. No cause
for the act Is known and for time It
was thought to beza case Of accident,
The coroner's Jury, however, after
carefully considering the evidence, in
troduced at the inquest, brought in a
suicide verdict.
Young Alverson started out hunting
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was apparently in good spirits.
When he failed to return home at sup.
per time the other members of the
family became alarmed and started q
search for him. The body was found
in small clump of brush near the Al
version nome, by the brother and sister
of the youth, who were led there by
Lees dogs.
Both relatives and friends of the
young man are at a loss to explain the
sad affair. Young Alverson was not
known to be in trouble of any kind
and no reason can be assigned for his
act except possible temporary insanity.
The shot was fired carefully, the bull
let taking effect Just under the heart.
Joseph Alverson is an old resident Of
Jefferson county and highly re-
spected farmer. Mrs Alverson had
been critically Ill and her condition Is
very precarious because Of the shock
sustained by her sons death. Lee is
the third con in the Alverson family to
suffer violent death. About year
ago another son fell from haystacki
and struck pitchfork, sustaining fatal
injuries. Several years ago another
son was kicked to death by a horse.

No Danger of Uniting
The Church and State

Inc Rev. Edward D. Baohv, pastor
OF the Ninth Street Christian Church:
am glad to say that [ approve of
religious instruction IN public schools
Those opposed to the movement argue
that II will nave a tendency toward
uniting church and state. but we need
have no fear OF the teaching of the
Bible developing a union between the
two. The Government recognizes re-
Egion and the Importance OF its cere-
monies. In the two houses of Con-
gress. the House and the Senate, we
have a chaplain, and every regiment in
the army, and every ship in the navy,
has pastor, as It were, appointed by
the United States Government.
The foundation of the Government
is morality, and the Republic cannot go
on unless the foundation is made
strong.
Special emphasis should be laid on
those virtues which are universal
which belong te no one creed. and
which apply to all cases, Attention
should also be called by the Baptist,
Methodist Episcopal, and teachers of
all other denominations alike TO the
frnpo1 tance of denouncing sin, and
warning the school children of the re-
suits OF an un-C1rI stian life
