There has been no change in the To-

The difficult work consisting of the
installation of the draw pier, for which

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. Sl.-
The annual session of the Nat ,onal
Purity Congress, under the auspices of
the National Purity Federation, con-
vened in this city today, and will con-
tinue in session for one week. Social
reformers from all parts of the country
are present as delegates, most of them
with papers upon various subjects.
which they viii read during the ses-
sions.
The initial session was held this aft
ernoon and was devoted to the APP
pointment of committees and other
routine business. q. s. Steadwell. of
La Crosse, Wis, occupied the chair
Tonight the prominent speakers 70 be
heard are Mrs. Anna Sloan Walker Of
Decatur, H., chairman Of the Woman's
Prohibition Club Of America, and Rev.
Father ]. NJ. Cleary of Minneapolis.
At the subsequent sessions of the
congress the papers, addresses and dis
customs will deal with every phase of
the purity movement, including pre-
ventive, educational, rescue, legisla-
tive, law enforcement and sanitary
lines Of effort, the white slave traffic.
social diseases and good health topics.
one of the most important subjects
to be considered during the congress is
that of conservative and practical
methods of imparting instruction in
sexual physiology and hygiene and
moral education in the home, the
school and by physicians and minis
ters.
The white slave traffic viii occupy
an entire session, and every proof will
be offered that there is thoroughly
organized and systematic traffic in
girls, whereby they are actually sold
into vice, and that this trafic extends
throughout this country and foreign
lands.

SUNDAY REST
Law SOUND
CASE NOW IN SUPREME COURT
TO TEST ITS VALIDITY WILL
FAIL is THE OPINION OF ITS
AUTHOR.

We fully expected the law to be
contested" was the remark of DR. q.
L. TUFTS, author of the Sunday rest
law of daho, when asked as to his
views ON the constitutionality of the
law. There are always lawyers to be
found who are on the lookout for TAT
fees and who will encourage the sa-
loon men to think they have a good
case
But United States Senator w, e,
Borah, who wrote the title to the bill
and helped to secure its passage, and
who is recognized as one of the best
constitutional lawyers in the state,
said to me personally that in his opin-
ion the law would stand the test
Judge Quarrels, formerly menu
ber of the supreme bench, also regards
the law as constitutional, together
with many other prominent attorneys
of the state, A senator in the last
legislature remarked to me that to
knock out the law would be a fatal
blunder for the saloon keepers. He
! thought that the result would be that
the next legislature would pass a law
to put them out of business altogether
"A unanimous decision rendered by
the supreme court Of the United States
was to the effect that laws setting
aside Sunday as day OF rest are up
/ held, not from any right of the gov-
ernment to legislate for any promotion
of religious observances, but from its
right TO protect all persons from ply
steal and moral debasement that comes
from uninterrupted labor Such laws

and mercilful laws, especially to the
poor and dependent. to the laborers in
our factories and workshops, and in

sSl
cULDSAC, Ida, Oct. 31.-Railroad
men engaged in the construction of the
crangeville extension of the Northern
Pacific ont of here have definitely stat
Cd that the rails will be laid into Reu-
hens within two weeks and it is ex-
nected the road will be completed into
Vollmer by December Is.
The work on bridge 80" the last
,mpediment between Culdesac and
Reubens, is practically completed and
4he work is we'll advanced on the
bridges at the government sawmill and
cold Springs, between Reubens and
yollmer.
The work of the Northern Pacific is
in no way affected by the action of the
Hartman people in suspending the
road between Lewiston and Riparia,
and ii is suggested the Northern Pa
cific may commence the construction
of the road from Lewiston to Riparia
ON the sonth bank of the Snake river
unless a resumption of operations is
soon ordered by the mead onclalS OF
the o. r. I'm.
In support of this theory it is stated
the Northern Pacific now owns prac-
tically completed right-of-way on the
south bank of the Snake river between
these points, and by the construction
OF the road would provide an inde-
pendent water grade route from the
upper Clearwater country into Port
land. Such route would be the out
let for a large per cent of the grain
tonnage of the Palouse country as we'll
as all of the company's' business in the
Clearwater valley, and would eventu-
ally become the through line for the
short cut business across the Bitter
Root mountains.

JUDGE HARGIS ACQUITTED.
Verdict Of Not Guilty in Kentucky
Feud Murder,

Lexington, KY, May 23.-The jury
in the case of Judge James Hargis,
charged with the murder of Thomas
Cockrill, returned a verdict Of not
guilty.
This is the second acquittal of Har-
gis, he having been declared not guilty
of the murder of James B. Marcum
at his trial at Beattyville last July.
Cockrill, who was marshal of Jack
son, was shot in the courthouse at
Jackson June Fl, 1904. He died later
at Lexington, where he had been
taken for medical attention. During
the trial several witnesses swore that
Judge Hargis, his brothers and Sheriff
Ed Callahan had entered into a MUIR
der conspiracy promising immunity to
any one who would shoot Cockrill,
DR.. B. D. Cox and J. B. Marcum, all
three of whom have since died by
shooting. The defense, however, pre-
sented testimony tending to disprove
the conspiracy charge and Judge Har-
gis, testifying in his own behalf, de-
MED all connection with the shooting.
Curtis Jett, who confessed to killing
Marcum, for which he was given
life sentence, was witness against
Judge Hargis.

BODY FOUND IN TRUNK.
Armenian Priest Murdered in New
York City.

New York, May 27.-Rev. Father
kasper, aged sixty, of the Armenian
Apostolic church of Hoboken, N. j.,
was murdered in this city some time
last week.
The body has been found in trunk
which had been left as security for
their rent by two Greeks who three
weeks ago engaged furnished room
OF Mrs. Henry Sherer, who occupies
the third floor of a tenement at 1888
West Thirty-seventh street.
Th e body was found in kneeling
posture with the head bound against
the knees by heavy strap which
passed over the back Of the neck and
was buckled under the shins.
DR.. Leblanc, the coroner's physician,
gave it as his opinion that the man
was thrust into the trunk while alive
and the cover of the trunk held down
until death ensued. The condition of
the organs was found to be similar to
those in cases of asphyXiation.
Father Kasper, carrying a small
leather bag in which his collections
were placed, came to be familiar
figure in Greek and Armenian circles
here and it is believed that he was
murdered for the money he carried.
