PENlTENT PAYS FOR FREE RIDE.

Saved by Borrowing Pass.

been hurting my conscience for more
than six months, and l am glad of an
opportunity to refund it"
With these words, man the other
day rendered s475 to John H. Lord,
city passenger agent of the Illinois
Central He explained that 1t was in
payment for a ride which he had
taken last July from Chicago to
Springfield on borrowed pass. The
matter, he said, has been troubling his
conscience ever since, and he finally
concluded the only thing to do was to
turn over the money to the railroad
company.
After a little questioning he gave
his name as 7. E. Timmus. but de-
clined to say who the holder of the
pass was or what occasioned his re-
pentance.
Mr.. Lord was somewhat at a loss as
to what to do with the money. but
finally accepted 1t and gave the man
a receipt for the amount He has re-
mitted it, with an explanatory letter.
to the general passenger agent of the
road at Chicago.
The city passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Peoria & st. Louis railway re-
ceived communication from a man
in Kansas City. asking the amount of
the fare from Pekin to Granite City
He stated that he had stolen a ride
over that route. and his conscience
had troubled him so much ever since
thai he wanted to pay the fare.

MONROE, MICH, TO ERECT MoNU
MENT TO ITS SOLDIER HERO.
Famous Cavalry Leader Was Born

Wolverine Village as His
Home.

Monroe, Mich.-Though he was per-
haps the most famous soldier who
has ever called Michigan his home,
there is as yet, 81 years after his
death, no memorial within the bor-
ders of the state to Gen. George A.
Custer.
To remedy this the citizens of Mon
roe are now agitating the erection of
handsome monument to this dash
ing cavalryman who, from his later
boyhood, always looked upon Monroe
as his home
Though Gen. Custer was born in
Ohio and though his parents contin-
ued to live there, with the exception
of one year. Custer himself went to
school at Monroe and spent much of
his time there with his sister, Mrs.
Reed, who had married a Monroe
man.
His appointment to the military
academy at West Point was given
him by an Ohio congressman, but it
was always to Monroe that he re-
turned for his furloughs during his
academy course as well as on his

Libbie Bacon, daughter OF Judge Ba-

sorrow greatest when the dread news
came on that Fourth of July of cen

Since that day the federal govern

route of the Sevenths last march,
and erected handsome monument on
the site where Custer himself fell.
But Michigan, on whose name he
shed luster by his command of the
Michigan brigade during 1863 and
1864, has done nothing toward pro
viding a memorial to his deeds.
1t was Custer and his Michigan

Of Moyer--Haywood.

There is law for the rich-but
none for the poor. There is law to

it is unconstitutional. Or, if it is
not so done, the devine right of the

was done i'll the application of the
imprisoned Western Federation
Miner officials to the supreme court
for writ of habeas corpus, which
thus sanctioned the kidnapping of

GREATEST FOE
Of Unions and Its Effect Upon the
Community Explained
BY AN HONEST SALOON MAN
Who Comes Out Plainly and Tells
Patrons Exactly What to
Expeeet-Comment.

Tombstone, Ariz., claims to have
the frankest saloon keeper in>the
United States. He keeps the
Temple Bar saloon and advertises
his business in the following re-
markable manner:
"Friends and Neighbors-I am
grateful for past favors, and, hav-
ing supplied my store with fine
line of choice liquors, allow me to
inform you that shall continue to
make drunkards, paupers and beg
CARS for the sober, industrious, re-
spectacle part of the community to
support. My liquor will excite
riot, robbery and bloodshed.
''They will diminish your COM
forts, increase your expenses and
shorten life. l shall confidently
recommend them as sure to multi
ply fatal accidents and incurablc
diseases.
''They will deprive some of life,
Others OF reason, many of character,
and all of peace. They will make
fathers tiends, wives widows, child.
rem orphans, and all poor.
81 will train your sons in inf
deity, dissipation, ignorance,
lcwdness and every other vice.
will corrupt the ministers of re-
ligion, obstruct the Gospel, defilc
the church and cause as much
temporal and eternal death as
can.
~ will thus accommodate the
public-it may be at the loss Of
my never-dying soul. But / have
family to support, the business
pays, and the public encourages
it.
''I have paid my license and the
traffic is lawful, and if don't sell
it somebody will. | know the
Bible says: Chou shalt not kill
mo drunkard shall enter the king
don of heaven and L do not ex-
pcct the drunkard maker to fare
any better, but 1 want an easy
living and l have resolved to
gather the wages of iniquity and
iatten on the ruin of my species.
81 shall therefore, carry ON my
business with energy and do my
best to diminish the wealthfof the
nation and endanger the safety of
the state. AS my business flour
ishes i'll proportion to your sensi-
bility and ignorance I will do my
best to prevent moral purity and
intellectual growth.
"Should you doubt my ability,
| refer you to the pawnshops, the
poorhousc, the police court. the
hospital and the penitcntiary and
the gallows, where yon will find
many of my best customers have
gone.
"a sight of them will convince
you that 1 do what l say.
''And me to inform you that Won
are fools and that | am an honest
saloon keeper''-Baltimore Sun.
He could have went farther and
stated that the saloon did more to
disrupt and rctard the advance
mcnt of trades unions than any
other agency on the face of the
globe. creates more strife among
the members, causes more dis
agreements between the EMPLOYER
and employee. fosters more strikes

PREsBYTERY AT WATERLOO.

Question Of Separate German Synod
and Church Up for Consideration.
Special TO Times Republican.
Waterloo, Oct. 3.-The Waterloo
Presbytery opened at the Westminster
Presbyterian church with good at
tendance from all parts of the district.
The address of the retiring moderator,
Rev. j. n. Currens, of Traer, was very
fine and was followed by the election
of Rev. j. B. White, of Maxwell, who
has just come into the Presbytery
from the Cumberland branch, as the
new moderator. He assumed his du-
ties and presided over the days meet
ings.
Part of the morning was occupied
with routine business, the appoint
ment of committees, reports of the
stated clerk and other matters. Rev.
Hugh McNinch of Ackley is the stated
clerk of the assembly and Rev. VIM.
F.. Fisher of Greene. and Rev. w. S.
Crozier of Mason City are temporary
clerks.
The two most important matters
before the Presbytery were the ac-
tion in regard to establishing two
separate German Presbyteries for the
church and ministers of German
speaking communities and the ap-
pointment of delegates to the state
synod which is to convene in Sac City
| October 1516.
