STORY BY THE HIGHWAY AND

God will always make the Of
fering ii, the need.
1t is tie good things we pass
along. not the good things which
we keep, which are multiplied
many fold.
According to Gods arithmetic
the more we give the more we
have for ourselves.
First consecrate thy gift to
God and then let him direct in
the distribution thereof. Thus
shall thy offering be multiplied
many fold. This devout man Of
BaaI-ShaIisha brought Of the
first fruits Of his fields that the
man Of God Nigh. be fed, and 10,
he hath fed not only the prophet
but the hundred needy sons of
the prophets gathered there.
II is the first fruits God can
use, not the left overs.
Too often we make certain our
own needs are satisfied before
we are willing to make our Of
ferings to God. II is this
reversal Of the Scripturai order
which not only destroys the
power of the gift but loses US
the blessing. Remember Gods
claims upon you first, and not
only will your offering be null.
tipIied to the blessing Of others,
but verify that which remain
eth unto thee shall be sufficient
for thy needs.
"Will a man rob God?" is
question asked Of old. And the
sad answer rings down the
ages: Eyes. he will and does"
But in robbing God man robe
himself. In his blind selfishness
he clings to what he has and
misses the treasures God would
pour out upon him.
Listen! "6ring ye all tho
tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine
house, and prove me now here
with, saith the Lord Of Hosts.
II ! will not open you tho win
dows Of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive
it,"
There was dearth in the
land. Why7 Undoubtedly be-
cause the people had withheld
from God, and had consumed
time and thought and substance
upon the qualification of their
own desires and Iusts. But
there was one man who with
held not from God and BLESSING
came to that man and his Of
fering.
There is a dearth in the land
to-day in respect to the king
dom of God. Why? Because
Gods people are withholding
the first fruits from him and he
cannot send the blessing. " peo-
pie would reverse the order of
their giving, and remember
Gods claims upon them before
they sought to crafty their own
desires and needs, not only
would there be an increase in
the offerings to the Lord, but
the offerings would be multi
piled by God so that there
would not be room to receive his
blessing.

in my department" said Postmaster E.
l.. Brunton this morning when asked
to verify the rumor that the site on
Sumach street had been selected for
the location of the proposed federal
building. Postmaster Brunton assumes
that he would be the first to learn Of
any definite action being taken, but
admitted that there was just a possi
bility that the report might come
through other sources.
It was reported Saturday afternoon
that the site on Sumach street had
been chosen, but other than the rumor,
nothing definite or authentic has been
given out, and those interested are
disposed to take the story as "stall."

Heirs Fight For
the Lamar Money!

in the superior court today, the La
mar case was opened and is now pro-
ceeding with the following jurors lis
tening to the evidence: George Sur
beck, Alfred Glenn, Archie Dunnigan,
Fred Hofer, Homer Mcbride, Robert
L. Britain, Oscar Shelton, Charles
Martin, Paul Walsh, e. v. Pence,
James Wickersham, Charles Little.
The case promises to be a battle
royal for the money of the two La
mars, now dead, for whom Lamar
station was named. The first Lamars,
James and Joseph, lived together and
made much money, James dying first
and leaving his money to Joe. When
Joe became i'll, he decided his money
to his nephew, David and his two
brothers. The two brothers decided
their interest to David. The fight is
now being made by several more rela-
tives from Missouri, who claim they
are entitled to part of the fortune,
which is said to amount to some $780,
600. They claim that the deed made
by James was not delivered until af-
ter his death, which nullifies it.
Two attorneys have been brought
from the east to fight the case. One
on the plaintiffs side, James J. Boyd,
is from ST. Joseph, Missouri, and is
assisting T. P. and c. C. Gose and
RAIDER and Barker; and the other on
the opposite side, is from Platte City,
of the same state, and is associated
with Sharpstein and Sharpstein.
When the case opened this morning
the plaintiffs made an exhibit of GER
tain deeds and documents, which they
tered as testimony. They will offer
no further evidence until after the de-
ense is through its direct evidence.
The witnesses examined today were
Max Baumeister, H. G. Blanchard, M.
H. Paxton, aHrry Shaw and John
Huffman.

State Takes School Bonds
Bidding Four Percent, Par

none of the warrants could be retired
also thought by the school board that
none Of the warrants could be retired
for number of years, as the other
bonds were coming in all the time.
For this reason, the bonds were voted.
According to the attorney of one
Chicago house, the district cannot ex-
ceed one and one-half per cent indebt-
edness; while according to another,
it can take ISSUES up to five per cent.
The question of validity was raised
from this standpoint, by the Rollins
firm, but the state took no cognizance
of the matter
The total bonded Indebtedness of
the district is $11S,5Oo; which, to-
gether with the new bonds, makes
$2S5,000. There is a floating warrant
indebtedness of $1S,929.21. The valua-
ton, estimated, of the district, is $15,-
100000; based on the tualized valu-
alton of s7,957,33s. According to these
figures, the bonded indebtedness will
be one and eight -tenths per cent.
However, the question was not raised
by the state, although the Rollins peo-
rle had long stipulation as to valid
lty, a test case to be made in the su-
preme court and a second election.

statement In which he criticised the
conduct Of the police department and
Of Patrolman Andre, especially, in
reference to the disappearance Of the
boy. The disappearance occurred at
the time Andre was on his vacation,
which vas spent in the vicinity Of Toll
Gate. where the Britain boy was lost.
When Andre returned from his va
cation last summer he heard that
Webster had been repeating Breen's
criticism of the police department. He
Immediately hunted Webster up, meet
ing him on Main street between Sec
ond and Third.
1t is said that Andre hit Webster
in the face and wanted him to fight,
but this Webster refused to do, say
ing that he had just recovered from
an attack of illness. Andre then placed
Webster under arrest and took him to
the police station.
During the trip to the police sta
ton, Andre attracted a considerable
crowd by his vigorous abuse of Web
ster.
At the police station, however, Ser
geant Rocker, who was on the desk
declined to recognize Andres authority
to make arrests, as he had not yet re-
ported for duty from his vacation, and
the sergeant accordingly ordered the
release Of Webster. At this time, it

tisement OF Webster.
