The Old Time Lay Preacher.

Most lay preachers, especially the
veterans, have favorite sermons, which
they preach year after year and often
to the same congregations. Some have
only half dozen or less than half q
dozen sermons all told. They have
been so satisfied with their first efforts
that they have never tried to better
them. One venerable brother, when
urged to add to his stock of three dis
courses that had gone around the cir
cult for more than thirty years. replied.

The Police Must Now Prove That He

iegally dead. Otto Adams will have to
stand trial On a charge OF attempting
20 oaow up with bomb hotel in
East New York. The crime on a
cnarge of committing which Adams is
under arrest. was committed in April
1906. 1t is charged that two years
ago, Adams attempted to compel Mrs.
Hattie Brewer to consent to the sale
OF a piece of real estate in which they
We're joint owners. She refused, and a
day or two later received an Internal
machine by mail. Another Internal
machine was received by Harry Cars
ten, who is said to have advised her
not to sell the property. A short time
later a third bomb was found in the
hallway of the hotel
Adams, who was prosperous
plumber, was arrested on charge of
being responsible for the three
bombs. He was released on $4,000
bail and disappeared. Later the body
OF man was found hanging to tree.
1t was Immediately Identified as that
of Adams and under that name was
passed on by the coroner. The police
now say that Adams went to Califor-
MIA, where his wife left him because
of his alleged cruelty. She returned
east and yesterday she made plan
to meet him in Jersey City, after tell
ing the police that he had returned.
When he arrived to meet his wife he
was arrested. The police are now
wondering what steps they shall take
to prove that Adams is alive.

that in the matter of bringing people
in from over the state, that 1t mas ex-

statement is borne out by the regis

The net profits of the U and 1 club
amounted to s4S4.74. According to
our arrangement, we would be en-

Gillespie undivided credit is due for
the very artistic appearance of the

obligation to the Missouri and Kan

The exhibit of the Kansas state

1t is impossible to do justice to the
newspapers through any expression

of their good will. Our most hearty
Acknowledgements are due them and
are thereby rendered.

Without a moments hesitation Mr.
Morse granted an Interview to the
correspondent. He was shown extracts

as having fed from his creditors, etc.
Mr.. Morse said there was absolutely
nothing in these reports, saying they
were New York sensationals." He
added that he had sent cable dis
patches to New York concerning his
position and that he would rectify
matters when he returned there. He
was travelling partly on business and
partly for pleasure for a week or ten
days.
Asked where he purposed going af-

courteously begged to be excused from

Is Rest.

New York, Feb. S.-James j. Hill.
chairman of the board OF the Great
Northern railway. arrived in New York
yesterday from st. Paul and stated that
the coming summer would show de-
crease in railroad earnings over last
summer.
"I am not so much of an optimist, -
he said, 'as to predict that earnings
this summer will not be below those
of last summer. I am sure that they
will be. But there are more people in
this country today than ever before
and they are people of fair intelligence.
What the country needs now is rest.
Let it have rest and let a stop be put
to this ghost dancing and everything
will work out all right.
Things are quiet enough everywhere
but up in the Northwest we are feeling
it less than in some other places. We
have no large industrial plants there,
and the farmers will plant as much
wheat as ever I should say that the
percentage of idle equipment on the
Great Northern was somewhat less
than the percentage reported to be idle
on the roads of the country as whole
Commenting on the earnings of the
Great Northern, which a few days ago
reported a large increase in gross for
the month of January Mr.. Hill said
that it had to be borne in mind that
comparison was being made with the
same period last year when the road
was greatly handicapped by an I'M
usually severe winter.
Mr.. Hill in reply to questions said
that he could not foresee how long
present conditions would last.

SAVED BY GUARD RAIL.
wabash Train Comes Near Going In
to the River.

Detroit. Mich, Feb s.--A heavy
guard rail on the Wabash railway
bridge over the Huron river at French
landing, 80 miles from here saved the
fast New York-Chfeage passenger
train, which was derailed today by a
spring rail from falling Into the river.
which is 40 feet deep at that point.
The train was moving 80 miles an
hour, when it was derailed. The en-
CINE did not leave the rails, but all
five passenger cars behind the bag
gage car jumped the track and when
the train was stopped, several of
them were resting against the guard
rail after having scraped along
against it for a number of feet.
The frightened passengers rushed
from the day coach and Pullmans, but
1t was soon learned that no one had
been injured. They were taken to
Romulus and quartered in the hotels
and residences there. The defailment
blockaded the line for number of
hours.

Question Whether Japanese Are White
or Colored.

New York, Feb. S.-First of Its kind
since the new law went into effect.
license to marry was yesterday issued
at the city hall to a Japanese couple.
The applicants were Kannosuke Ka-
wanaka. a student of the Yale divinity
school. and Miss Yuki sKitamura. %
years old, of New Haven, Conn. Both
were born in Japan. Mr.. Kawanaka
told the clerk that he and Miss Keta-
mara were to be married shortly by a
Japanese minister recently graduated
from Union Theological seminary.
Their only difficulty in securing the
license was in one item of their de-
scriptions of themselves, the two plac-
ing the word white in the space re.
served for classification according to
color. When the clerk demurred to
this and suggested that they describe
themselves as colored they demurred
in turn. FINAL va compromise was
reached whereby the word yellow"

Lisbon, Feb. S.-The funeral SER
vices over the bodies of King Carlos
and his son. LUZ. crown prince of
Portugal, who were shot to death a
week ago today on the Prada Do
Commerce in this city were held in
the church of San Vicente early this
afternoon. The ceremonies were sim
pie but impressive and the final act
in the bloody tragedy of February /,
was carried to close without an un-
toward incident. The line of the
funeral procession from the royal
chapel in the palace to the church
was guarded by troops, several addi-
tional regiments having been brought
into the city for the purpose. All the
governments Of Europe and America
were represented by special missions.
The day was one in which the Por-
tuguese united in prayer for their
dead king. This was the day of the
burial of their royal dead; and also
the burial of fellow Roman Catholics
and following the custom of Roman
Catholics, the people wished to join
in some way in the solemn mass
which was offered up for the spiritual
welfare of Carlos and his son.
The streets were thronged with
people. They poured in from the
country, from towns of the provinces
and from nearby cities, some by train.
some by carriage or by cart and many
on foot. In the crowd were large
numbers Of simple peasants and
tradesmen from the provinces who
knew or cared nothing of political
strife, but wished only to mourn for
the dead leaders. Bits of crepe fiut-
