ROBBERS BATTLE OFFICERS
THIEVES AND PLUMBER SEEM
TO HAVE VANISHED.
Detective Martins Search Of Barn
Near Flagg's Crossing Proved
Fruitless Several Suspected.

After making search Of barn
near Flagg's crossing, which was sus-
pected of being hiding place for the
goods stolen from the Shirley store,
at Shenandoah Junction Monday night,
Detective Martin has been compelled
to admit that the robbers have thus
far baffled him, although he is still
working on the case.
So far none Of the stolen goods have
been recovered and 1t is probable that
the plumber has been stored away In
a safe place, and Will be disposed of
after the affair blows over. Several
suspects are being kept under sur
veillance, but no arrests will be made
until some positive evidence has been
secured.
1t Is believed that the three ROBBIE
ries at Mr.. Shiriey's place were exc
cuted by the same persons, and they
have been smart enough to cover up
their tracks completely.

length and weighing more than 100
pounds, was found tightly wedged un-
der one of the passenger coaches.
The bar of iron was recognized as a
brace from one of the big steel coal
cars, and it had evidently fallen from
car directly across the tracks. Run
ming at high rate Of speed, the pas
senger train hit the bar and twisted
it around in such manner that the end
was wedged in the wood work, near
the trucks, where it remained. The
angle at which the wheel of the car
struck the iron evidently caused the

Gems Cleaned From the Teachings O
All Determinations

Gems Cleaned From the Teachings OF
All Denominations.
The man who makes himself available
to God is the only truly great man.
Rev, DR.. Charles Edward Locke, Metho-

fancy to the happiest and best of life.
Rev Madison c. Peters, Baptist, New

MANLY THING TO BE A CHRISTIAN
You say it is a weak thing to be a

it is a sign of a superior nature and
of a better judgment.-Gypsy Smith,

Rev. Madison C. Peters. Baptist,
New York.
SOVEREIGN PRINCIPLES.
There are two things which belong
to the church as sovereign principles
first, true gospel pastor who teach
eS the word in truth and purity and
administers the holy sacraments &C
cording to divine institutions; second
faithful congregation who will re-
ceive the word as the word of Cod
Rev. c. F. Bergner, Lutheran, WASH

THINGS THAT SURVIVE.
All that is beautiful and true and

affection may be taken from US. new
ertheless survive.-Rev. stephen Fish
Sherman, Episcopalian, st. Louis.
OPPORTUNITIES OF LIFE.
The opportunities of simple, unob-
trusive kindness, how manifold they
are. Every life is full of them. There
is scarcely a day or an hour in which
we may not make some heart happier
by a gracious word, sign of friendll-
ness, a disposition to see the good SIDE
and cherish the tolerant Judgment.
DR.. GLADDEN., Congregationalist, Chi
cago.
Man demands a reason TOT MS SoOu
deeds not less than for his invest
ments. He wants to see the end in
religion no less than in business. He
desires not to be told to be good but
inspiration to goodness. Do good be-
cause good lives, and goodness is its
own reward. Rear character be-
cause of what 1T does and because of
what it is. Form friendships because
Of what in mutually they give and
because of what they betoken. All
partake of the great parent spirit
Rev. Stephen Fish Sherman, Episcc-
palian, st. Louis.
HELPFULNESS.
In the stress and rivalries of mod
ern life no duty is more apt to be neg
lected than this to "he1p every one his
neighbor, and to say every one to his
brother, Be OF good courage" And
this neglect is to our neighbours hurt
and none the less to our own. For the
bearing of others burdens is the
secret by which we find our own lives.
For thereby we are led to higher
ideals and to place our happiness OF
in fitful fortune, but in acts of broth
erly' love. And it's rare fruitage will
be growth in character, strength in
our own hour of need, and above all
the blessing of our Father above,
which is unto eternal life.-Rev.
Junius b. Remensnyder, Lutheran,
New York.

THE wAsHBURN SENIOR PLAY.
1t Will Be Given This Evening in Col.
lege Chapel.

One of the most novel and original
entertainments which Washburn has
witnessed in recent times will be the
senior class entertainment tonight
in the college chapel. The enter
tainment will be one of the largest
ever known as there will be thirty-two
M smbers of the senior class who are
to take part.
The entertainment will be divided
into three parts. The first part will
consist of a mock class meeting of the
senior class in which the various
characteristics of the different mem
bers of the class will be brought out
The unusual incidents and humorous
musings CT the learned class members
during their careers at WaShburn will
feature this part of the programme.
The second part of the programme
will be devoted to jests on the meet
ings of the faculty. Troubles which
tertainment will be brought to
definite solution by the learned faculty
members. The seniors will act as the
faculty and different members of the
class will be dressed to represent the
different professors. This alone will
be we'll worth seeing as some of the
members of the faculty are 50 odd
and eccentric in their manners that
it takes a genius to impersonate them.
The seniors feel that they have had to
bow to the faculty and meekly submit
to their edicts for four long years and
now that they have a chance to get
even they will undoubtedly rise to the
occasion
The concluding part of the enter
tainment will consist of a vaudeville
entertainment. One feature of this
part of the entertainment will be an
illustrated song composed especially
for the occasion and illustrated by
views of the faculty which will aston
ish the learned pedagogues of the in

been the words heard by Moses con-
corning the deliverance of his people;
now he is startled by the words which
followed: Come now, therefore, and 1
VIII send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou
mayst bring forth my people, the chill
dren of Israel, out of Egypt" What
He-Moses-th fugitive-the humble
shepherd? Incrediblei The meek lis
tener ventured to expostulate with Je-
hoVah: What am /, that L should go
unto Pharaoh, and that 1 should bring
forth the children of Israel out of
Egypt?' This query was partly prompt
ed by humanity and partly by fear.
1t is as presumptuous to assume that
you can not do task to which God
has called you as it is to assume that
you can do it when not called. Be-
cause, like Moses so many Christians
are unwilling to say Eyes" to God, the
work of heaven on earth Ianguishes.
Everybody is ready to turn his guns of
criticism upon whoever assumes a
work of leadership or aggressiveness;
instead, we should take to task those
who have not the courage or the will
ingness to attempt great things for
God. Moses was blameworthy in that
he assumed to be a better judge of his
qualifications than Jehovah; whereas it
is forever true that Goods commands
are Gods enablings.',
The shepherd of INDIAN was not in
position to see, as God saw, the ap-
premiership he had been serving for
the position of emancipator; it was be-
cause he was ready that he was called
The world is full of the Moses spirit;
mourning over evils which we are not
ready to pitch in and help remedy.
Whenever any person is brought face
to face with a great,swrong needing
righting, or a great service needing do
ing, his one clear duty is to discover
how he can help right that wrong or
how he can help meet that need The
greatness of a task is no reason for
failing to attack it: success belongs to
the great attempters. =
As a warrant eof authority and a
pledge of success, Jehovah named his
own preexistence- 1t was in the might
and the name of the ''Is Am" that
Moses was to present himself to the
Israelites, and that name eternally
spells victory.
