The writer is in hearty accord with
the position taken recently at the
Lutheran General council at Milwau-
kee in regard to divorces that there
should be but two causes recognized
adultry and desertion. 1t would have
been better however, in his Judgment,
if but one cause, the scri ptural, should
have been insisted upon and establish
ed DIS d canon of the church. the same
as it is in the Catholic church. The
trouble is, that too many enter into
the marriage relation with but very
faint conception of the responsibilities
assumed, and what they considered
love. which is only lust. has been
satisfied. then separation is sought in
the courts and it appears to the writer
that 'deseration" can be easily made
a cause for the severing of the nuptna
tie. Let the church say to the public
in unequivocal terms, that no divorce
will be recognized except for the
scri plural cause and no divorces mar
ried by the sanction of the church the n
let the courts backed by strong pub
! lie sentiment refuse to grant divorese
except for the very best reason and
then only upon the most positive proof
of the hayward ness Of the party &C
cused. people would be careful about
entering INTO the marriage relation and
when they did, endeaver TO put up with
each Others failing, knowing that they
are not perfect. Bat few divorces have
been granted to mem bees of the Catho-
/ lie church and the same is true in a
limited extent in the Episcopal church,
and it ought to be equally true in all
churches. Divorces is the CRYING evil
OF the age in this country and by
! reason of the large number of the
divorces The marriage relation is los

license that is weakening confidence in

The editor of the Chicago Chronic le
is evidently not an admirer Of either
W. j. Bryan or Gov. R. M. La Toilette.
He objects to them for reasons that
may be good and sufficient to him and
perfectly satisfactory to others.
Speaking of the two gentlemen named
he insists that they are ''posturing as
political purists and patriots are filing
the land with SANDER of the American
people. According to these orators we
are living in the most corrupt age of

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1905.

The opinion appears to be quite Q N
eral among United States senators tn y
there will be no tariff revision nor rtil

congress during the approaching s4--
sion. The people demand both an if
this congress turn deaf ear to thar
demands, the next Congress is lilbl'
to be of different political complex

on both questions. The attitude Of the
senate upon matters of vital interest TO
the people has marked tendency to
make socialists and bring about the
defeat of the dominant party which
will be held responsible for the failure
of Legislation in their behalf. The

Will Be Shipped to Washington and

Washington, D. c.. Oct 25.--The
costly gifts that were showered on Miss
Alice RoGs evelt during her trip through
the Philippines and Japan will. in all
probability. be brought to Washington
in bond and the appraisement for the
payment of duty made at the port of
Georgetown, where Washington's rus
toms duties are paid. Inasmuch as The
power of appraisement is entirely with
the treasury. it is believed the vaiua-
ton will be placed at reasonable
figure and the duties demanded he

In all probability the department will
not make the amount public seeing no
reason why an exception in this matter
should be made, merely because the
owner of the goods to be appraised
happens to be the daughter of the
President.

Frank Castor Terrified the Prisoners,
Demolished the Lights and Sat
Nude In His Cell.

Frank Castor, murderer of Patrolman
Daniel Il. Davis, went on a wild ram
page at the county Jail at Columbus
again yesterday, during which he ter
rorized the inmates OF the prison, tore
every stitch" of clothing from his
body, demolished all the lights he
could reach and acted the part OF a
madman.
Ii was the first time that-the des-
perado has left the couch in his cell,
where he has lain in an apparently
comatose condition. For days ana
weeks he has been perfectly still, mov-
ing only at long intervals.
Last night, however, he suddenly
sprang from the couch and with face
distorted and eyes protruding from
their sockets, he rushed to attack his
guard. a colored prisoner The latter
emitted one terror-stricken yell and
vanished into an adjoining cell, lock-
ing himself in.
Prisoners in the corridor hastened to
get out of the murderers way as he
stormed about, tearing his clothes and
pulling his hair. He did not talk Dut
uttered the most grewsome and unin-
telligible sounds. With piece of his
shirt, which he swung over his head,
he demolished all the lights in the cor
ridor.
Shockley placed a guard of three
prisoners over the man, to prevent his
attempting injury to himself. For
hours he sat on the edge of his coucn,
unmindful of his surroundings and
nakedness.

The plant is being enlarged so that the
increasing volume of orders may be
more completely cared for.
The one school here, numbering up
wards of 100 pupils, is in charge of
Prof. Roger. and, l understand, large
measure of success attends his efforts.
There is here one church, called the
Progressive Brethren, and another, two
miles south of the village. a pretty
Methodist Episcopal church.
The only physician is DR.. II. e. Corl

country.
About every house In the village Is
