SAW MISS SAPP DIE.
Samuel F. WhitlOw Of Moran Says
the Girl Killed Herself Because
of Infatuation for Him.

lola, Kas. Oct. "a sensati1na
development came yesterday in the
mysterious death OF Miss May Sapp
the daughter of John N. Sarn Of Mo
ran, who was found dead in the back
yard Of her fathers home with her
throat cut. It was learned Tuesday
morning that after being under In
yestigation practically every since the
tragedy Samuel f. Whltlow, grain
and coal dealer Of Moran, who form
erly was teacher to whom Miss Sapp
had gone to school, had confessed last
Monday night that he was at her
side when the razor was drawn across
the throat OF the young woman.
1t was suicide, is the assertion Of
Whitlow. He says she killed herself
for love of him and because he would
not desert his family and go away
with her The father and brother-in-
law Of the girl declare 10 was not sui
eide. Whitlow is sunder arrest Whit
low attempted suicide on the way from
Moran to lola Monday night.
HOW THE CLEw WAS FOUND.
The county attorney believes that
the new developments in the case are
of great Importance and gives much
credit to the Pinkerton detective who
had worked on the case only since a
week ago Tuesday. Last Monday
many people, among them some Of
the county officers who had been
working on the case for three days,
said the mystery Of the girls death
would never be cleared.
At that time several stories Of
Whitlow's peculiar actions the night
OF the tragedy had reached the au-
thoritics' ears. The detectives sifted
all these stories down and learned
that there was a wide variance in
some of Whitlow's statements con-
cerning details of his actions the'night
Miss Sapp was found dead in the back
yard of her home.
1t was while the coroner's jury was
in session that Whitlow admitted to
the Pinkerton detective that he knew
all about the egirls death. The coron-
ers jury was huredly adjourned un-
til yesterday and preparations made
to let Whitlow tell all his story
to the county officers He made
his statement late Tuesday night

KINDLY BUT PLAINLY.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: In Colliet's Weekly. of September 2l. a certain Mir. Palmer stated that ''The Whisky dealer and the W. C. T U. together beat the canteen."
 Let me say. kindly but plainly that is a lie. The whisky dealers nev- CT worked for anything favored by the w. C. T. U. They and all other liquol dealers defended the oanteen.
 Mir. Palmer also tries to make out that the temperate army officers are unit in favor of the canteen.
 General Joe" Wheeler was a wig orous opponent of the canteen: Gen. eral O. O. Howard hated it; General Daggett is strong and outspoker against it. These household names ought to outweigh scores of petty un- known officer names.
 MT. Palmer says: ''ff all the drunk ards and criminals created by the abo- lition of the canteen came reeling into this drawing room. these good women the w. C. T. U.) might change their minds"
 If MT. Palmer will bring all the "drunkards and criminals created by the abolition of the canteen" they will be royalty entertained fin the smallest drawing room owned by any member of the w. C. T. U.

! the parable of the Good Samaritan the Saviour brought out the spirit which should characterize the ideal church.
 The spirit should also be cordial and whole souled. live so completely that it would not be necessary to assume the public that visitors and strangers are welcome"
 While rather disapproving of the spirit which prompted leading jour nal of America 10 send a representa- tive to visit a hundred churches in different states in order to tell of the reception which she received at these various houses of worship throughout the land, the speaker thinks that good will result from the criticism. The First Presbyterian church of Phoenix extends hearty invitation to all, who may so desire, to go there to worship.
 In the words of the pastor: "We want you for the sake of the church. for our sake, for yourselves and Christ's sake"
 Then the message of the ideal church should be the Gospel. pure and simple.
 Neither philosophy. science or liter ature can or should be substituted for the story of the cross. The great truths between the lids of the old book are gladly received by the people. Christ said: ''Go ye unto all the lands and preach the gospel" And Paul said: Woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel" The ideal mission of the ideal church 1 is to save men. The servant is not above the master but satisfied as the master Christ's mission is the mission of the church today. To save men from everlasting sin and death unto everlasting life is the real mission and should be the motto of every church today. Through self sacrifice and consecratlon treasures are laid up in Heaven.

SolomonviIle, Ariz., Oct. 11.-(Special Correspondence of The RepuD,;can.)-- The board of supervisors of Graham county, at their quarterly session just closed, let contracts for public inn provements aggregating over $16,500. The improvements consist of branch jails at Clifton and Mor renci, the former to cost s6400 and the latter $S412, wa ter works system for the, county jail and hospital, an acetylene lighting plant for the court house and an ad- dition to the hospital. The jails men, tioned are to take the place of the un- savory tunnels, which have been used for jails for many years and concerning which wild-west stories go periodically over the country. The board is alse planning to spend about 5000 in inn proving the public roads of the county during the coming year.
 Louis Reasau. a French Canadian frontiersman who died at Clifton re- gently, was a soldier with Custer dur ing the Sioux war in the northwest and escaped death in the massacre by chancing to be absent from his conn pany on that memorable day. Reashau came to Arizona many years ago and served as government scout during the Indian troubles. He lost leg in one of the fights and walked with a crutch during his latter years.

So has the boldl- dishonest man. So has the hypocritical churchman. But when so- oiety has tried these for awhile it finds them wanting, and turns to the man who has proved himself straight in business, in citizenship and in his do- nlestic affairs. This is at the bottom of the widespread popularity of Presi- dent Roosevelt. The average Amer ican anywhere, whether or not be in- dorses the presidents public policies, is believer in the downright straight ness of the personal character of the man.
 Secondly, good man is a servant He is always doing something for some one else.

PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES.

At the First Presbyterian church the pastor. Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell. preached to a large and earnest con- gregation. choosing for his morning theme. 'The Ideal Church.
 The scripture lesson read was the last thirty-three verses of the second the lesson was: And the Lord Added 10 the Church Daily Such as Should be Saved"
 Some of the thoughts presented were,
 The church is going forward re- gardless of opposition and criticism.
 The church is a divine institution. the bride of Christ and is largely made lIp of those endeavoring to lift up hu- Inanity.
 The doors of the church are now as never before opening to all classes of men and the call Come in, come in.'' is being responded to by men who yes terday were gamblers, adulterers, orunkards and murderers as well as hy those who have led lives of morality and responsibility.
 The church can never be perfect, never be ideal while the membership is not altogether pure of heart yet il is well to strive after perfection to make ones church as near ideal as possible.
 The spirit Of the ideal church is democratic-broad enough to intake all mankind.
 The poor penitent sinner is as wei come as the noble, rich or great-the qualification is a pure heart. not wealth, social standing or educational advantages. The spirit of the ideal church is opposed to caste. Through
