Can, college, who came to Chicago
three months ago to engage in reform
work. He has given several lectures
at West Side churchs and missions
In Rice's room two trunks of fine
clothing were found. Among the gar
ments was a dress suit which Rice
donned when he appeared before an au-
dience to deliver one of his "uplift''
sermons. On returning to his room, it
is alleged by the police, he would
change the dress suit for a garb less
conspicuous and then sally forth to rob.

MADE MAD BY CiGARETS.
Iowa Patricide Is Destined for Criminal
Insane Ward at Anamosa.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 6.-"Insanity
due to cigarettes" This is the verdict
by the jury which has been sitting in
the trial of Tod McFeeley, who at
Creston, was indicted for the murder
of his father with hammer a few
months ago. Young McFeeley, the evil
dence shows, has smoked countless
cigarettes since his youth, and the jury
declared that they have so affected his
mind as to make him irresponsible. He
will be sent to the criminal insane de-
partment at Anamosa, but if he recov-
ers the indictment of murder will
stand.
McFeeley's crime was atrocious. He
crept up to the bed upon which the
father lay sleeping, at midnight, and
sank a hammer into the old mans
temple.

brQan to Make Presidential Cam.
paign With His Pen.
fIeHT BATTLE OF 1908 ON PAPER
PARTY LEADERS ENGAGE SPACE
IN LEADING MAGAZINES
or COUNTRY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Though Is
months will elapse before the next
next presidential campaige should log
ically open as a matted practical
politics. it will be begu1 within two.
The news of this move has been close
ly guarded, and it was only today that
it became known in New York. 1t is
to be campaign of writing, not speak
ing. The idea is William J. Bryan's,
and, contrary to every tradition, not
even the avowed candidate of his
party for the next presidency, he will
begin within the next six weeks to
put before the people of the country
the brief for the democratic party, why
it should win over the Rooseveltian
party and the republicans, what it's own
policies are and what democracy means.
Bryan is doing this of his own ac-
cord. Even the party leaders in the
various states do not know of it. His
closest friends over the country have
not heard of it. Already fully one
half the material Bryan is to launch
in the new democratic party's own doc
trine has actually been prepared and is
in type.
Engages Magazine Space.
The Nebraskan has obtained the CO.
operation Of magazine for these
party utteranceS, and arranged with 1t
for the use of it's columns for IL months
for II articles that will present the
case of democracy. For the same
space of time he has bound himself to
make no other public utterancees. Mr.
Bryan at one move steals the fire of
every other democrat and becomes the
mouthpiece de facto of democracy for
the next campaign. Fifteen months
from now, his theory is, the real cam
paign will begin. But by then he will
have established every issue.
Bryan's pen, replacing for the next
II months Bryans voice, is not to
have altogether the right of way The
administration is to have it's own
mouthpiece, and is to conduct a pre-
cisely similar warfare While it can
not be officially stated that the presi-
dent himself has planned this, color
is lent to such a theory by the fact
that one of the presidents closest po-
litical friends, Albert ]. Beveridge, SEN
ator from Indiana, is to be the re-
publican standard bearer in this I'M
ique political warfare and in the same
columns will answer Bryan's argu-
ments of statecraft and will present
the administrations side.
6everidge Announces Intention.
What is definitely and positively
known is that if the president himself
did not pick Senator Beveridge to an
swer Bryan officially for the repub-
lican party, the republican party lead
ers did choose him. In Washington
today the Indiana senator said he
would start on the work of retorting
to MIR. Bryan as soon as he had fin
ished his speech on child labor.
AS to whether Bryan made a tactical
mistake, public opinion will possibly

the campaign begins he will have I'M

Preacher Makes Use Of Two
Angels to Collect Money.
NOVEL PLAN OF WATERBURY, Divine
OTHER MINISTER'S OF TOWN CRY
SHAME! sAcRILEGE! BUT
IT'S PRIZE WINNER.

"Sacrilege!" cried some of the clergy
men at their indignation meeting in
the Y. NJ c. A. building yesterday
Most reprehensible levity!" ex-
claimed other ministers there.
The truly good men were deprecat-
ing a semi dramatic but somewhat
profitable entertainment in the Zion
Methodist Episcopal church given on
Sunday evening. The Zion church, on
the city's outskirts, is poor and strug-
Cling. Its pastor, the Rev. ]. NJ. Whit
ted had vainly appealed for aid so he
decided that something striking must
be done to call attention to the
church's existence and it's needs.
While his congregation sat ponder
ing his powerful sermon all the lights
in the church were put out suddenly.
Then 100 candles were lighted. reveal
ing the pulpit in a blaze of glory. The
congregation was amazed, but it sat
up and took closer notice when a
strange and beautiful procession ap-
peared.
Two Angels Led Them.
First came Miss Ethel Robinson in
shimmering white robes, with great
golden wings fluttering on her shapely
shoulders. The lovely Miss Robinson
was the Angel Of Light, and looked
the part. Then stepped Miss Carrie
Foust, the Angel of Darkness, clad in
forbidding black with wings of SOM
bre plumage, but beautiful as night
ilIumined by the moon at her full and
all the stars.
Then appeared the twelve apostles
Matthew Peter, James, John-all, a
rayed appropriately. Last walked the
enterprising and resourceful pastor.
Each of the Is persons in the solemn
little parade bore a lighted candle.
The clerk of the church called the
roll of the congregation. AS he pro-
nounced each persons name an apos-
tie FASTENED to him, or her. and said
persuasively:
"One dollar, please, the church needs
the money"
If the dollar or an earnest promise
to pay was forthcoming the Angel of
Light approached the donor and
smiled on her or him. A young man
who gave a dollar said afterward:
Worth All It Cost.
THAT angels smile alone was worth
the price of the admission
But if the dollar was refused, the
disappointed disciple FASTENED to the
Angel Of Darkness. She frowned on
him, or her, who lacked charity or a
dollar then blew out her light-that
is, of course, the Angel of Darkness
extinguished her candle.
There was an unseemly incident
when Bartholomew asked an unregen-
crate person for dollar.
Go ahead and blow me out" he
said, laughing very irreligiously.
However, the earnest Apostles COL
lected $126, an average of $3.50 each.
The other ministers have made no
public protest against their brothers
entertainment, nor will they tell what
conclusion they reached a their meet
ing. The Rev. Mr.. Whitfield, highly
pleased, promises to give another an
gelic, apostolic entertainment.
Nobody was paying any attention
to us while we kept quiet he said to-
day. Now they know we're on earth
and need help. The money we collect
ed is not tainted. 1t will be put to
good use. We shall give another can
die social soon, with more angels"

WEEKLEY WOMAN IS
AGAIN PUT IN JAIL
Magistrate Tells Her He Was Very
Sorry He Couldn't Send Her for
More Than Ten Days.

Florence Weekley, the notorious
woman who gets arrested every few
days. and the one who for time
held forth in an abandoned coal mine
east of the city, is again in jail. She
was sent there Tuesday morning for
ten days by Magistrate Gordon, who
told her, in passing sentence, that he
was very sorry that he couldn't send
her to prison for thirty days or even
sixty days as she is better off there
than running around loose. Flor
ence and young glass worker were
arrested al the b. & o. passenger
station Monday night by Constable
shrader for being drunk and disor-
derly. They were fined 81 and costs
each by the magistrate, that being
all he could impose according to the
State laws on that charge. The
man paid his fine and was released
and the Weekley woman was sent to
jail in default of payment.

Kuhn Loses His Damage Suit Against
the Fairmont Coal Company
for $4,000.
GRIFFIN CASE IS CITED
BY Judge Dayton, Who Delivers An
Important opinion-Grand
Jury is Charged.

All the opening of the April term
of the United States court Tuesday,
Judge A. C. Dayton announced that
some OF the grand jurors had not ar
rived, and, therefore, he would not
convene the grand jury until after
the noon recess.
Judg Dayton immediately took up
number of cases and delivered opin-
ions in them. The first was that of
Barton w. Kuhn against the Fair
mont Coal Company, very import
ant case and one of test nature in
this state. Koon sued the coal COM
pany for $4,000 damages to the
surface of 81 acres of land in Marion
county as the result of mining out
all the coal and permitting the sur
face to crack, cave and fall. Koon
sold all the coal under the land with
right TO remove it. johnson N.
Camden was the purchaser from
Koon in 1899. The Fairmont Coal
Company afterwards acquired the
coal and mined it. Suit was recent
ly brought for damages to the sur
face.
Some months ago the state
supreme court decided in the Leand-
er Griffin case against the Fairmont
Coal Company that the company un-
der the deed, which made no reserva-
ton, had the right to mine all the
coal II the surface were damaged by
so doing. and was not liable for dam
ages. The Kuhn case following in
Judge Dayton's court, he decided
that it was the duty of the federal
courts TO uphold the state courts in
the matter of rule of real properly,
else there would be mischief and con-
fusion, and in such cases, If the fed
eral court did otherwise, all one had
to do was to move out of the state,
thereby becoming non-residents and
use the federal courts to get dam
ages, in instances where residents
could not get them.
Judge Dayton accordingly sustain
ed the demurrer to the declaration,
which means the plaintiff has no ac-
tion at law.
Exceptions were oyerruled in the
case of Nellie V. Clark against the
Exchange Bank of Mannington.
The cause of John T. McGraw VS.. |
the Rosemont Coal Company was re-
manded to the circuit court of Tay-
Tor county.
Judge Dayton appointed Michael
H. King, of Elkins. referee in bank
ruptcy and the appointee qualified.
Georg P. Shirley, of Parsons, was
reappoinced referee in bankruptcy.
The court decreed that the de-
fendant in the case of Robert Mccul- |
Tough against Howard Sutherland !
should pay the plaintiff $4,000 the /,
residue Of 100000 the defendant
agreed 10 pay the plaintiff for al
railroad in Preston county.
The case of Barton w. Kuhn
against the Fairmont Coal company
as above noted will be appealed by
the plaintiff.
The grand jury was charged in
the afternoon. Judge Dayton de-
llvered his usual strong charge on
postal and money matters, licenses
and 50 forth. The charge was some
what lengthy.
