in progress.
Fired Ut the Priest.
Along the line passed the priest,
placing upon the tongue of each sue
cessive communicant the consecrated
wafer and repeating tho lines of the
mass declaring the Eucharist thus ad-
ministered is the Saviour himself in
person. Ala was now the next in line.
Father Leo placing the wafer upon the
tongue of the stranger, all unsuspect-
ing the murderous design in Ala s
heart, began: "Take, eat; this is my
body" but stopped horror-stricken.
The subject of the prayer had spat the
blessed morsel from his mouth. AL
most simultaneously with this desecra.
tion shot rang out and Father Leo
sank to the floor mortally wounded.

After the noon recess A. J. Dickson
was called to the stand. He testified
that he helped carry York to the stair

Divilbiss instruct that the injured man
be carried up stairs.
This afternoon Mr.. Divilbiss contra
dicted this testimony and denied that
he had given any instructions what
ever. Arguments for non-suit were
overruled and the attorneys argued the

From Wednesdays Daily Post.

From Wsdnesday's Daily Post.
In the county court this morning
suit to recover $3.50 from Garfield
county for an operation, and care fol-
lowing it for one week, that was per-
formed upon Otis York, Aug. ~, was
begun by DIR. W. F. Berry. He was
represented by Attorney C. w. Darrow,
while Sen. Taylor is looking after the
interests of the county.
The county commissioners have dis
physician stated was a compromise,
and has taken the position that Gar
field county is not liable for the
amount demanded.
Whether or not the dead man was
pauper was the question around which
the legal skirmish occurred this morn
ing.
DIR. Berry was called to the stand
questioned by Mr.. Darrow. He told
of performing the operation upon York
and its nature and then he was asked:
"Would you have taken York in had
there been NO county officials at hand
to order tAis dsne!"
UYes.

"I have never refused. yet"
"Were you instructed to perform
the operation."
"Dr. Clark told me to go ahead. AT
that time he was county physician"
"And you did'"
az did,"
"You then presented bill to the
commissioners of Garfield county,"
"I did. Several times"
"And the bill for $3.50 was COM
promise, was it'"
"It was"
"what was the understanding at
this time!"
"That the amount was what It
would have cost the county to have
maintained him at the county hospi-
tai for an equal length of time"
Attorney Taylor asked DR.. Berry If
he knew that the county cared for
paupers, and the physician said that he
did not know anything about York's
case; that he never stopped to ask
any questions.
Mr.. Darrow brought ont the fact
that the man was in such a serious con
dition that it would have been impos-
sible to have moved him, that Dr.
Clark agreed to the operation.
The doctor testified that the man was
in a dying condition and that he was
accompanied to the sanitarium by I'm
der Sheriff Divilbliss, and that he did
not operate without authority. All DR..
Berry knew at that time was that the
man was working for Mr.. Ikeler.
DR.. Clark was called to the stand
He said that he had been practicing
medicine in Garfield county for twenty
one years. He told of coming into
town and of being told that there had
been a shooting scrape; of going to the

JUDGE Lands REVERSED

1t will be remembered that some
time last year Judge Lands, of Chica-
go, heard the case of the government
against the Standard Oil Company
and fined that company twenty-nine
million dollars. The case was appeal
ed to the Federal Circuit Court which
has just rendered an opinion revers-
ing Judge Lands and demanding the
case for new trial. Judge Gosscup,
of Chicago, wrote the opinion which
was agreed to by both of his associ-
ates, Justices Seaman and Baker. OF
course there are many people who
knownothing of the case and still less
of the law that will censure the court
for its opinion. We believe that the
three great Judges are just as honest
as Judge Lands and know whole lot
more and have decided the matter &C
cording to the law.

CAPT. HULL NOMINATED.

Ever since the primary election, June
the Second, a contest has been on be.
tween Captain Hull and Judge Prouty
of Des Moines for the congressional
nomination. A recount OF the votes
in Dallas county and some other pre-
cincts has finally settled the matter in
favor of Captain Hull. The returns
give him a majority of 40. Judge
Prouty admits his defeat and drops
out of the race declaring that Capt.
Hull has been clearly nominated and
should have the full support of the
party in that district. This decision
brings great relief to all members of
the party in this state and much graft
fication to the numerous friends OF
Captain Hull. And Judge Prouty has
made many friends by his prompt and
positive stand in favor of abiding by
the result of the primary. The Regis
ter and Leader says the "Captain has
been one of the steady-going and re-
liable men who have made up the rank
and file of the house membership In a
period of great Importance, when
steady-going was at a premium

COMPLIMENTS JUDGE GREEN

We observe that Hon. w. r. Green,
of Audubon, is a candidate for the
place on the supreme bench made va
cant by Judge Bishops death We
should like to see Judge Green nomi-
mated and elected. He is an honor to
the profession of the law. He is a
graduate of Oberlin College and was
for many years in active law practice,
winning high place in the public es-
timation. For the past twelve years
he has been one of the judges in the
Fifteenth Judicial District. On the
bench he has made an unusually good
record. Many important cases have
come before him and his opinions are
nearly always affirmed by the supreme
court. He has the judicial tempera-
ment, the trained legal mind, the ripe
scholarship, the student inclination,
the sound sense, the manly courage
and above all the inherent integrity to
most creditably fill any place on the
supreme bench-D. G. MOTT, in The

OFFICIAL NOTICE

On Tuesday July %, 1908, Secretary
Taft was officially notified ofhis nomi-
nation for the office of President. This
was done in his home city of Cincin-
natl which properly made it great
holiday. Senator Warner, of Mis-
souri,, made the address. After the
candidate recovered from his surprise
he thanked the committee for the
pleasing information they had con-
veyed and then launched into an adj
dress of acceptance containing twelve
thousand words, or about a page of
The Republican. To this address he
has given much thought, and showed
his good judgment by submitting a
copy to The President for his critical
eye. The mistake some men in public
life often make is in depending too
much upon themselves and neglecting
to take counsel from others.

How W. P. Soash "Made GOOD"

An interesting side-light on the
character of Mr.. Soash is afforded by
the voluntary offer to stand all eX-
penses of the trip if an actual inspec-
ton of the land does not prove it is
all he claims. An offer like this, from
responsible man like Mr.. SOash,
means great deal. 1t is the strong
est guarantee of Fair Play" that a
prospective buyer could ask. 1t
means that the land is being sold
strictly on it's merits and will, as he
says, actually pay for itself with the
first crop. 1t is guarantee that
backs up every word of the Soash ad-
yertiSing.

Fall Recognized as Leader.

Aeronaut Killed by Wright Airships
Fall Recognized as a Leader.
Lieutenant Thomas Z. Selfridge. who
was killed by the fall OF the Wright
sirship at Fort Alyer the other day.
was one of the most enthusiastic be.
levers in aeronautics among the Off |
GERS in the military service and
through his own efforts succeeded in
securing detail with the aeronautical
division of the signal corps. He was
born in San Francisco twenty-six years
ago and was appointed to the Military
academy at West Point from thai
state. He was appointed second lieu
tenant in the artillery corps in 1902
and commissioned first lieutenant
four years later.
While with the Fifth field artillery he
became interested in the work of Pro
feSsor Alexander Graham Bell, who
was experimenting with tetrahedral
kites. and about Il year ago was at
tached to the signal corps.
Lieutenant Selfridge was one of the
three officers who successfully operated
Captain Thomas Baldwin'S dirigible
airship over a month ago when that
machine was undergoing its official
tests for acceptance by the govern
ment. Lieutenant Lahm and Lieuten-
ant Folois assisted him, and Lieuten-
ant Selfridges management of the big
airship brought him into marked prom
inence as a successful operator of air
machines. He designed the propeller
of the Baldwin craft. which was con
sidered marvel of efficiency.
AS secretary of the Aeronautic Ex-
pertinent association at HammondS-
port, n. Y, Lieutenant Selfridge tool;
leading part, and he was closely con-
suited by its organizer, Alexander Ora
ham Bell, in the construction of the big
airship on the tetrahedral kite princi-
pie which Professor Bell has been
building for over a year at his summer
place in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Lieu
tenant Selfridge i'll December, 1907.
made the first flight in large tetrahe-
dral kite which was to form part of the
Bell machine. The kite flew well for
16S feet but glided into the water.
The first machine built by the Ex-
was Selfridge's Red Wing. 1t was
constructed from his own designs, as
sisted by the engineer, Glenn Ii. Cur
tiss, who built the engine and eight
cylinder forty horsepower motor. Lieu
tenant Selfridge did not go up in the
first flight, which was made March IL
, of this year. +. w. Baldwin, a civil
engineer of Toronto and an active men,
| Der of the association, operated the ma
chine, and 1t made successful fight
over Lake Keuka of 31S feet II inches.
OF the flight Professor Bell said:
at was the first public exhibition of
the fight Of a heavier than air ma
chine in America"
Five days later the machine was Sc
riously damaged, and short time after
Mr.. CurtiSs' June Bug was built. which
has flown over a mile.
The organization of the Experiment
association was brought about largely
through the interest Of Lieutenant Sell
fridge in aeronautical matters. He rec
ognized the need for a place where
practical experiments might be made.
