A letter purporting to have been
written by Miss Olive Templeton,
the pretty coed whose body was
found on bank of the St. Joseph
river more than year ago, is declar-
ed to have disclosed a plot to divert
suspicion from the supposed murderer
of the girl
The letter was contained in bottle
and purports to be a suicide message
The bottle was found under tree
that leans over the river. Friends
of the young woman declare the
handwriting in the letter is clumsy
imitation. They assert, mo. cover,
that it is highly improbable that the
bottle should have been floating all
this time in the river undiscovered

man has been suspected of the muir

As the body was in the water sew

was impossible to say for certain
whether the girl had committed sui

of her friends and relatives accepted
the suicide theory Others, however
declared that there was absolutely nc

Over a Volcano.

The recent eruption of Mount We
suvius, like the one which in A. ID.
70 overwhelmed Herculaneum and
Pompeii, wrought its devastation
upon scenes of prosperity. Fruitful
vineyards, fertile fields and thrifty
villages, with their busy populations,
were caught in the wrath of the sud-
den tempest and transformed into
wastes of desolation. Wanton de-
struction ravished where abundance
had lately dwelt, and grim want
stalked in paths where but now smil-
ing plenty had wandered. Reversing
the old promise of blessing, ashes
had been literally given for beauty.
Yet the destruction came not unan-
nounced. Warning grumblings had
been heard within the mountain; ON
inous flames had occasionally shot
forth from its summit, and the tell
tale smoke had spoken of hidden
fires.
To the thoughtful student of his
tory the present economic conditions
in the United States must suggest a
social parallel to the physical phe-
nomena attendant on these volcanic
eruptions in Italy. There is abur-
dance of material prosperity. Fruit
full fields, busy manufactures, teem-
ing commerce are everywhere in evil
dence. Peace and plenty arc found
within all our borders. The vast
mountain of our growth is covered
with the groves, vineyards and vii
lagos of flourishing, busy people,
occupied with the present and opti-
mistic of the future.
And yet, and yeti Are there not
grumblings and occasional bursting
of flames which tell of s.rouldering
fires? The race riots at Atlanta and
the two Spring6elds; the carnival of
crime at Pittsburg; the moral pollu-
ton occasionally revealed in New
York and Chicago; the looting graft
and boodling by public officials, which
spared not even the sacred charities
given to an earthquake-stricken city;
the embezzlements and the gambling
and riotous living which tempted
them, and finally, the tremendous fol-
lowing accorded to the evangelist of
organized hatred"-are not all these
alarming portents that towards our
country point their shadowy
hands?"

HE SWINDLES MANY.
John Butler Wanted by Authorities
for Fleeing Farmers.

Farmers and others are warned TO
be on the lookout for a stranger who
is industriously working a swindling
game among the agricultufists. A
reward of $500 for the arrest of John
Butler, alias Hoover, Kline, etc. by
the authorities at Quincy, ILL.,. is of
fered.
This is the manner in which Butler
works: After a short stay in a coun-
ty, he looks up farms fir sale, saying
he intends to buy. After the abstract
has been obtained and all prelimin-
aries obtained, a deed is made out
and sent the farmer selling the land
for his signature. Butler intercepts
the deed, taking the farmers NAL if
necessary FORCES the farmers and no
tary's signatures, which he has OBJ
tanned, tc the deed and presents it
to a banker or somebody loaning
money asking loan that he may
make improvements to the land In
return, he offers mortgage on the
farmers land which the money lend
err supposes he has paid for and is
in actual possession of. The loan is
made and mortgages given, after
which Butler skips out with the mon
ey.
Butler is So years old, feet 8
inches high, weighs 100 pounds, has
dark ruddy complexion, eyes brown,
dark hair mixed with grey, promi-
nent cheek bones, broad forehead,
smooth face, heavy built, broad
shoulders, legs unusually thin for
body. He is a fair dresser and wears
black or dark clothes. He is unas
Stunning in his ways and method of
talking, and is said to be able to de-
ceive the most careful of men. Watch
for this swindler
Butler operated last year in Elk
hart county in the purchase" of Mrs
Bebee's farm near Bristol. He is
regarded as one of the cleverest
swindlers who has ever operated in
this part of the country.

Marriage on Trial.

1t is coincidence that when peo-
pie are thinking of the divorce con-
gress and when there is a growing
sentiment in favor of making the
marriage relation more sacred and
permanent, that a prominent woman
should issue book in which she ad-
vocates probationary" marriages, >
or something in the nature of mar
rage on trial.
The book may receive more atten-
ton than II deserves, because the
author is the wife of the young con-
gresham, Herbert Parsons, who was
President Roosevelt's choice as the
Republican leader in New York. 1t
probably will not sreceive respectful
attention from most men nor the
slightest federation from women, to
whom the theory advanced will be
revolving.
1t is not altogether new idea, this
one of probationary marriages. 1t
goes back to a darker and more ig-
norant age than this. Readers OF
Walter SCOTS "The Abbott" OF
which Mary Stuart was the heroine
may recall the use which the author
made of Scottish custom of hand
fasting in which a couple lived to-
gether for year or more and then
separated or were married as they
thought best. 1t seemed to be a join:
survival of heathenism and licen
tiousness.
1t will be an evil day for the fam
lily life of Christian nations, which,
include all of the greatest and mos.
intelligent peoples, when they forget
that the idea of marriage. in both
their civil and religious ordinances,
lis a part of their christian civilization
and that the immeasurably superior
condition of their womer to that OF
| all other countries or of former ages
is due to the christian t.. chirgs of
marriage, monogamy and virtue

Domestiv Virtue and Rascality.

To Rabbi Vorsaenger of San Fran

shining truths concerning Mayor
Schmidt and the energetic Abe
Ruef 1t learns from this excellent
ecclesiastical authority, that Schmitz
is personally "of the most estimable
character" that he is "a devoted .hus-
band and father" and that "his home
life is beautiful" OF Mr.. Ruef it is
told that he is graduate OF the Uni
versity of California, young man OF
great ability, and "of the cleanes.
life personally" These illuminating
facts are noted with satisfaction.
Now, it must be borne in mind thai
because these men have been indicted
on serious charges it does not imme
diately follow that they are guilty
On the other hand, it does not follow
that they are innocent because their
private lives are lovely. 1t is alas, to
be regretted that man may be de-
voted father and husband and that
his home life may be exquisitely
beautiful, and yet this man may prey
on his neighbors and appropriate
public funds to his uses. 1t is also
within the range of human posi-
bilities that man may graduate with
distinction from the University OF
California and electrify the neighbor
hood with the cleanness and sobriety
of his domestic relations, while con-
temporancously dealing darkly with

Nansen's suggestion, when the
news first came of the drifting ice
which Peary had found, was that per

equipped for drifting for four or five
years across the polar ocean would
provide the agency which in the en-
would bring the great success. The
praise which Peary bestows on his
vessel, the Roosevelt, for its strength
in withstanding the crushing of the
