PRIEST MORTALITY HURT
BY INSANE MAN
Father Lubeley Wounded by Parish
ioner During Church Services
at Salisbury, Mo.

SALISBURY, Mo, Nav 26-ha1
Father Joseph F. Luheley. aged -
years, pastor of st. Joseph's CAahcl5t
church of Salisbury, was stabbed
twice with a pocketknife and perhaps
fatally injured. in church this morn
ing. by Joseph Sehuette, prosper
Gus farmer, living near here, Who :
believed to have become suddenly de-
mented.
The stabbing occurred in view o.
400 worshipers. many of them wo-
men. The injured man was taken to
nearby residence. where his wounds
were attended to by physicians. His
condition is critical.
Immediately after Father Lubeley
had finished high mass he started to
leave the church. At the door he
was rushed upon suddenly from be-
hind by Schuette, who stabbed him
twice, telling him. The first blow
from the knife struck the priest in
the temple, and the second cut deer
cash in the neck, just missing the
jugular vein. The crazed man was
about to stab the priest third time
when Mrs. Barbara Center and John
Gates, both members of the church
caught the uplifted hand. In the
struggle which followed Schuette
stabbed Mrs. Center in the hand and
inflicted painful cut on Gates arm
A dozen men came to the aid of Mrs
Center and Gates and overpowered
Schuette Struggling and fighting
he was taken to jail.
1t is believed Schuette, who has
been devout member of st. Joseph s
church, became suddenly deranged
and the attempt on Father Lubeley's
life resulted.

THE PARTY THAT DELIBERATEs

For more than ten years the Fo-
publican party has been trusted by
the people with authority in all de-
partments of the government. BY

000,0 voters will decide whether
this responsibility shall continue for
another period of years. or be eurbed
after March next, when a new pres
ident will be inaugurated and a new
congress will come into existence. In
a certain sense it is unfortunate that
the detection In the Democratic party
four years ago was so great as to
give the impression that the Repub-
lican party had become 100000
stronger than the opposition. Such
an idea is calculated TO engender
false view of personal popularity and
to lead the weak or designing to
lower the tone of the party by the
ndulation of individuals. The Re-
publican party is not millions
stronger than the forces arrayed

an unusual extent. No Republican is
as great as the party, nor ever can
be until its character and purposes
are materially impaired. The com
vention about to meet at Chicago,
like its preceding national gatherings,
has occasion to think carefully and
deeply upon the welfare of the coun-
try. II has vital duties to perform in
connection with the best interests of
the people and a record to preserve
in this respect that is UNNECESSARILY
more important than any personal
vanities.
A little less than four years ago.
on July 6, 1904. a notable meeting
was held at Jackson, Mich, to cele-
brate the 50th anniversary OF the
birth of the Republican party, for 1t

Story Of
The Frog,
AN INDIAN LEGEND.

One night Samoset and Skal-lal-a-
toots lay upon their bearskins listen
ing to the frogs in the pond near by.
"Do you know how there came to De
frogs? asked Samoset
"Yes; my people have frog story
answered Skel-lal-a-toots.
1--WE have one. too" said Samoset.
So Samoset told this story:
The water In the brook had dried.
and the poor earth people were dying
Of thirst.
"How can 1t have happened" they
asked. Surely the water never failed
us before"
Then one of the tribe said: Let us
send our bravest warrior into the north.
Let him 90 to the land from which the
spring comes and ask why the water
has failed"
Now. Glooskap had seen the suffering
Of his people and had already made up
his mind to help them, and while they
were at council he bounded In upon
them.
He was terrible to behold, for he had
horns upon his head. and terrible
mask covered his head.
He had tOmaiawks In his hands. and
from his back traiied Il long string OF
fiercest feathers.
At first the council WIS struck with
terror.
Fear me not" said Glooskap. u
have come to help you will 20 into
the Iand of the north, ana Will ask
the people why the water Of the brooks
has failed"
Then Glooskap set of into the land
Of the north. and when he strobe into
the northern village he rolrcd: 'Scnd
the chief to me. Tell me. why does thu
water of the brook fall the people In
the Valley
Then the chief rolled out Of his VIZ
wan and came to speak with the
strange guest.
Never was there such chief a.

was Hat his eyes bulged out. and hi
mouth stretched from ear to ear.

The Act of Dying.

Soap Bubblers'
Reception.

The Soap Bubblers' reception was a
success from the start.
The Soap Bubblers, but recently or
ganized, with Phil Thompson as head
Bubbler, Harry Baker as chief cornu-
copia, the minor Bubblers occupying
minor odd titled positions, as well as
Bubblers occupying no positions at all,
had resolved that the ancient and hon.
orable amusement of blowing soap
bubbles was sadly in need Of reforma-
ton and, further, that 1t was their
mission to reform 1t.
Thus 1t came to pass that on this
late blustery winter evening the In
terror Of Masonic hall presented such
scene Of brilliancy as had rarely
been equaled within Its historic walls.
The magician's wand had hardly
fallen when there arose forty-seven
large bubbles from forty-seven golden
cornucopias held in the hand OF forty
seven rosy checked boys and girls

Hints.

An experienced glove woman told me
the other day how to protect gloves
when the hands perspire. Keep roll
of absorbent cotton on yOnr dressing
table, and slip bit OF it between the
palm of your hand and the glove. The
cotton will absorb the perspiration.
A man devoted to outdoor life and an
ardent fisherman says, "Burn a clean
twig on a stone, and the ashes, contain.
ing large per cent of salts, will make q
very acceptable substitute for chloride
OF sodium or table SALT. Remember this
when camping and there need be no
more unpalatable hard-cooked eggs II
the salt Is forgotten.
Have you ever noticed how unpleas-
antly sticky even a new pack of playing
cards becomes at the seashore after only
little use? If you lay the cards on q
newspaper, sprinkle with talcum powder
and thoroughly rub into the cards they
become as good as new. This also
answers for any card game.
At a season when cake sales seem to
pail upon the housewives taste, our
ladies' aid society found ready sale for
sand wiches, lemonade and peanuts at the
baseball grounds. There was no diff
Guilty in finding trustworthy boys to take
charge Of the enterprise for slight re-
Enumeration, and the profits were good.
A muslin gown had become SO soiled
as to need washing, and yet its deep
yoke of delicate lace threatened to be-
come stretched out of shape by ironing.
Over the waist form, which the house
hold dressmaker uses, was pinned q
clean towel. The laundered waist was
then put on the form, the yoke being
carefully pinned smooth. The form was
then set out in the sun, and bleaching,
drying and pressing was accomplished
at one and the same time.
Now that the season for wearing the
dainty pink, green and lavender linens
is at hand, it may be q help to someone
to know that II little fruit coloring,
such as is used for coloring candies, Is
added to the rinsing water when the
dresses are Numbered, the colors will be
as fresh and bright as when new.
During each rain the water from the
porch spout seeped through the concrete
foundation of our house and ran into the
cellar. We were told to put few hand
fuls Of dry cement under the spout be-
fore the next rain and the water would
wash 1t down into the orevices, then
after the cement had hardened it would
prevent the water from seeping through.
An emergency salad Of little green
onions diced, finely shredded cabbage,
sliced cucumbers and lettuce hearts, with
French dressing has often been repeated
successfully on our table.
