THE STORY.

THE day on which the children OF
/ Israel crossed Jordan was a day
of terror in Jericho. The spies wnlch
the king had sent out to Watch the
movements of the Israelites had re-
turned in haste telling strange sto-
ries of how the waters of the Jordan
had divided and the people and all
their focks and herds had crossed
over on the dry bed Of the river, ana
were even now on their way to attack
the city.
In their excitement and alarm the
10000 fighting men which had crossed
the river in advance had been magnl-
fed into a great army, and quickly
the orders were given that the city
gates be closed tight and double
guard be placed upon the wall. All
the fighting men of the city were
speedily summoned and slept upon
their arms that night, expecting that
an assault might be made upon the
walls under cover of darkness.
That was a terrible night in Jeri-
cho. People ran through the streets
like mad, cursing and fighting with
each other in their wild terror, and
alternately shouting maledictions
upon the Israelites and their God, and
calling upon their gods to hear them
and help them.
Rahab and her kinsfolk gathered
with her in her little house upon
the wall listened to the tumult with
ont and wondered if already the Is
raelites had taken the city. But no,
It could not be, for that evening as
the sun had set and Rahab had gone
to the window to see that the scarlet
cord. the pledge of her deliverance,
was still in it's place at the side Of
the easement, she had looked out
across the plain and had seen the
Israelites peacefully encamped.
"But they will come tomorrow,
she thought, and as the tumult with
ont increased, she turned to reassure
her relatives gathered about her,
when loud pounding upon her outer
door was heard. Tremblingly she
went to the door, and without draw
snp the bar shouted to know who
xvas there and what was wanted.

SERMONETTE.

"And the Lord said unto
Joshua, See, have given into
thine hand Jericho, and the king
thereof, and the mighty men OF
valor."
God gives men visions Of
great victories that are possible
of realization because his on1-
impotence Is behind them.
Men dream of conquest. Men
plan large things apart from
God. But the dream never be-
comes anything but dream and
the plans "gang aft a-glee."
What disappointments life
holds for those who plan and
work and strive apart from God.
Solomon, the man OF rare
gifts, and wonderful achieve
ments, turns at last from the
sphere of human endeavor,
which is temporal, and cries: ~
know that whatsoever God doeth,
IL snail be forever.
Joshua early In his career as
leader of the children of Israel
caught this vision of the sure
working of God, and to him God
gave the assurance of victory
aIonq the lines of his will.
There was Jericho great and
strorg, her massive walls SEEM
ingIy impregr able; there was
her king, proud and defiant;
there were the mighty men OF
vaIor ready to die In defense of
the city.
This was what Joshua saw
perhaps before he sought out
the Lord and obtained a vision
from the Divine viewpoint.
But after that it was no long
er the strong walled city and
the powerful king and the mighty
men of vaIor which he saw, but
rather that city low in the dust,
that king and his army within
his power.
Such was the vision; such was
the promise of God. But as
Joshua went out the next day
the city was still there, the king
was still on his throne, the
mighty men of valor still watch
ing on the wall.
There was much to do to
make the vision a reality; to
claim the promise of God. But
the vision and the promise were
the goal ahead towards which
unhesitatingly and unyieldinsly
Joshua strove. He. knew he
should attain, because God had
wjlied it.
Look up, o Christian! Catch
the heaven-born vision! Hear
the God-given promise of VIC
tory.
There is many Jericho in
thy life that must be conquered
before you can enter into the
full possession of the land God
has purposed to give you.

cause Governor Folk feels any par

Hartmann that he has announced his
intention of granting them pardons.
Hartmanns family. consisting of q
wife and several small children, have
been on the verge of starvation since
he went to the penitentiary, three years
ago. Lehmanns troubles drove his
wife to insanity, and she has been con-
fined in an asylum practically ever
since his imprisonment. Mrs. Hart

reduced to such dire circumstances that
she had to seek employment as a do

entering her teens, worked from early
morning until late at night in a shoe
factory. BY hardest kind of drudgery
the little woman and her daughter
barely managed to keep the wolf from

promised them that he would terminate
their sentences Thanksgiving day.

whittier he had fled to escape prosecu-
ton, and threw himself upon the
mercy OF the Circuit Attorney. Muir
rell was one of the first men to be
indicted, and his first act upon his
return was to go before the Grand
Jury and make complete confession,
covering every detail of the Suburban
and City Lighting briberies. There
was one man only among the former
members of the House of Delegates
who knew where the $4,000 came from
that was paid for the votes of the
combine members in the city lighting
deal. That was former Speaker
Charles F. Kelley. 1t had been de-
veIoped that Kelley received the money
from Edward Butler, and Butler was
promptly indicted. But in this trans
action Butler was simply acting as a
friend" Kelley's evidence was neces-
sary to establish the identity of the
man who stood in Buffers shadow.

In the Drag Net
Folk had Kelley before the Grand
Jury on the afternoon of September
s. 1902. and was gradually forcing a
confession out of him. The same day
he had John p. Sweeney. a former
member of the House of Delegates and
close friend OF Butler. before the
Grand Jury sixty-three times. Sweeney

weakening and was about ready to
make a complete confession. the con-
sequences of which would have made
the Doodle crusade much more far
reaching, involving at least one and
possibly two millionaire business men,
When Sweeney got away from the
Grand Jury he rushed into the arms
of the Butler followers and spread
the alarm that Kelley was about to
confess.
Emissaries of the boodlers were at
once dispatched to the Four Courts

to get into communication with
Kelley. While Folk was In the Grand
Jury room these men reached Kelleys
ear, and he quietly slipped away No

But Folk looked around and discov-
cred that Snyder went directly to New
York after getting his bill passed and
lived there during the next year. This
furnished him q peg upon which tc
hang the prosecution. an absence from
the State stopped the running of the
statute. BY some close figuring it was
found that Snyder had remained out of
the State just one day too long to en-
title him to the protection of this stat
ute, and he was indicted early in 1902
He was tried in October of the same
year.
After one of the most notable of legal
battles, in which Folk fought against
an array of the finest legal talent that
money could hire, Snyder was convicted
and sentenced to five years in the peni-
tertiary. The case went to the Su-
preme Court and was reversed on a
technicality. Before ii could be tried
again Folk went out of office, having
been elected Governor The Snyder
case was one of the few that he passed
down to Arthur n. Sager. his successor
Last May Sager nolle pressed the case
ana issued a new information against
Snyder. The case was called for trial
in September, but. owing TO the alb
sence of material witnesses for the
State, it was again nolle pressed and a
new information sworn out At the

swearing falsely before the Grand Jury
when the Snyder case was under inves-
tigation four years ago, Uthoff having
since been a nonresident of the State.
He issued an information against VIII
liam II. Ritter. a former member of the
House of Delegates, who voted for Sny-
der's franchise bill. charging him with
conspiring to hold Snyder up for money
as a consideration for not fPstifvine q
against him.
This case was standing against Sny-
der when death entered the final nolle
prosequi. The cases against Uthoff
and Ritter growing indirectly out OF a
bribery committed some years ago, are
the only entries on the court dockets to
remind st. Louis of her famous munich
pal scandals.
Ed Butler. the boss politician who
was three times indicted and twice
tried for bribery. has had his troubles,
too. Butler was first indicted for at
tempting to bride members of the Board
of Health TO award him a contract for
handling the city garbage. He was
tried in Columbia. Mo, convicted and
sentenced to three years in the peni-
Tertiary, but escaped when the Supreme
Court decided that as the members tof
the Board of Health were not officials
they could not be bribed. He was next
indicted for handling a Doodle fund of
$4,000 to have passed a bill providing
for the lighting of the streets with gas
instead of electricity. He was acouit-
ted of this charge at Fulton, Mo-, and
in that respect considered himself
lucky. Soon after his first Indictment

He at first succeeded in getting it
passed with little dificulty.
II was vetoed by the Mayor, and he
then set about TO buy UP the necessary
three fourths majority OF both
branches OF the Legislative body of the
city. The House OF Deleg gates. which
had been controlled by corrupt COM
bine for years, readily accepted $4,000
for voting the necessary majority, but
Snyder did not find such smooth sailing
IN the more dignifed and less populous
Council. The Council had but thirteen
members. but not one of them was
cheap. The president of the Council
got $4,000 that was intended for Fred
erick G. Uthoff, whose testimony in a
great trial conducted by Folk in the
fall of 1902 resulted in Snyder's con-
viction and sentence of five years in
the penitentiary. Uthoff, playing for a
bride of 100000, found after having
voted for the bill that snyder would
not keep his promises, and after infinite
trouble he succeeded in getting Snyder
TO pay him $4,000 in New York in ex.

Snyder finally got his bill through.

tors of these crimes tried to procure
evidence upon which to indict those

There is a statute of limitations in Mis-
