its When He Knew the Rsrk to Be
lnsoIvent-Harold Smith Discharged.

Donald A. Johnson, cashier Of the
Green Mountain Savings bank, was in
tlicted in four indictments returned BY
the grand jury late Saturday after
noon. The indictments charge per-
jury, embezzlement of the funds of the
bank. making false entries in the
banks books, and receiving deposits
when he knew the bank was insolvent
All of the charges, except that OF
making false entries in the books OF
the bank, had previously been made
against Johnson in the complaints filed
in the justice court before he had been
held to the grand jury.
] This charge has to do with the man
ner and method johnson employed in
recording deposits made at the bank
during the few days just preceding its
close.
The indictment charging perjury re-
fers to the affidavit johnson is alleged
to have made to the state auditor re-
garding the number of shares of the
banks stock that he owned and had
paid for.
The indictment charging receiving
| deposits for the bank when he knew
it to be insolvent covers the same peri

ment charging Johnson with making
false entries in the banks books. The
Indictment charging enlightenment COW
ers the alleged misrepresentation OF

| johnson is in Cedar Rapids, as far
! as is known here. An effort is being
made by his attorneys to have the bond
! for $4,000, on which he was released
from JAIL continued and made surety
for his appearance in the district
court Judge Parker has the question
of the continuation Of the present bond
under advisement. 1t is understood
/ that Johnson is ready to come to the
city to answer to the indictments, in

ner, who We're secured by Vice Pres
ident McGrew of the Omaha National

Harold Smith Released.
Harold Smith, who was arrested on a
charge of larceny from the S. B. Chap
man home, LOG West Church street,
was released from Jail late Saturday
afternoon after the grand jury had re-
ported no bill found against him. The
grand jury did not indict Smith, prin-
cipally for the reasons that Mr. Chap
man was not disposed to prosecute the
young man. also because the total wall
lie Of the goods taken was less than
$40.

THE DEVILS POWER.
Or. Buckner Talks of Satanic Influence
Over Man.

About 400 were present at the
Methodist church Sunday evening, this
being the largest of any of the meet
ings. A solo by Mr.. Gilmore, and spe-
cial selections by the male quartet and
the large chorus We're the musical
features. DIR. Buckner preached a
strong sermon on the subject, The
Power of the Devil Over Man." speak
ing from the text. almost thou per-
suadest me to be Christian"
1t is not Gods will and has never
been his desire that single soul
lost and are now lost are so, but be-
cause of Gods will, but in spite of His
love and mercy. God not only makes
the plan of salvation whereby all may
return to him, but he does everything
in his power to persuade and induce
men to accept this plan. Why do men
not come to Christ? No one can say
that it is wrong to be Christian. To
be Christian means to be right, yet
men will resist the voice of God ap-
pealing to them thru their conscience
appealing to them thru the entreaties
of friends. appealing thru the invitation
of the preacher. thru the earnest plead
ing of their dearest loved ones. This
shows the power of the devil over man.
People will admit that it is right, rea-
sonable and safe to be Christian, and
yet they are hard to persuade and
many refuse to take the step The
reckoning hands of dear departed ones
urge us to accept salvation and get
right with God. Altho the power of the
devil is great and men cannot stand
against it in their own strength alone,
yet when the will calls to God for help.
the power of the devil is overcome.
God is always ready and anxiously
waiting to extend his great love. mercy
and power to those who call upon Him
in repentance
The meetings will continue each ev-
ening this week, the song service be-
ginning at 1880, and the sermon at s
o'clock.

There Is no period on well-regu-
lated farm during which ideness
should exist. Stock raising combines
many occupations. The dairyman who
has large herd must rise early and
work until darkness returns. The
many little details viii keep him busy,
and there is always something to be
done. yet there are hundreds of farmers
who have but animals because they OBJ
iect to the work that necessarily fol-
lows the keeping Of the stock, but such
farmers lose much time during the
whole year, and also deprive them
selves of that portion OF the profits
which are made by utilizing the home
grown products that are not salahle In
any form unless consumed by stock.
They overlook the fact that every
pound of material grown on the farm
that can be used for the production of
some hlgher-prlced product increases
the profits by cheapening the cost, as
well as the saving of labor in hauling
and shipping bulky products to mar
ket. One operation on the farm leads
10 another In regular rotation, and just
the same as spring seeding leads to
harvest, so does the storing Of the prod
ucts on the farm lead to the employ
ment Of the best methods OF dlsposlng
of those products at a season Of the year
when the farmer Is not called to the
field to give his entire attention to
work away from the barnyard. The
care Of the manure heap after the fall
is gone is alone worth the time and

cry and implements may be overhauled-

To mulch the soil is to cover It, This
is done by using straw, leaves, or any
other suitable material, according to
circumstances, In many cases stable ma
nure being employed. Mulching pre-
vents rapid evaporation of moisture
and protects young plants against the
direct action of the sun In dry seasons.
But, while benefits may accrue from
the use Of mulch, there are also some
disadvantages to be considered. The
use of unfermented manure, or matter
that Is subject to decay, encourages
mildew and fungus growth as we'll as
serving to protect insects and parasites.
Yet there are some plants that thrive
best when afforded covering, and such
protection should be given. One of the
methods of mulching is to cover the
entire plant, removing the covering
early In the spring. The object of
mulch In winter, however is not to
keep out the cold from the plants, as
no amount Of covering can effect such
objects. What is desired is to prevent
sudden freezing and thawing of the
soil, which upheares the plants and
causes injury. mulch Is considered
highly beneficial when applied around
the roots OF the plants, allowing the
plants to receive all the air and light
possible, and can be used both winter
and summer, as required.

The Control of TubercuIosis.

The third annual report of the Henry
Phipps Institute OF Philadelphia, whose
work is the study, treatment and proven
ton Of tuberculosis, as summarized by
Charities and the Commons, presents
many items of interest and encourage
ment to those who are seeking to arrest
the ravages of consumption. One is the
racial susceptibility to the disease For
eign born citizens brought to the insti-
tute form nearly one-half the burden OF
its work for the year. The countries
which sent it the heaviest burdens in or
der of sequence were Russia, Ireland,
Germany, England, Italy, Austria and
Scotland. The same order holds good for
the cases which came from the second
generation, namely, the children born OF
immigrants. Only 31.3 per cent of all
the patients treated were of native an
cestry one generation back. Children born
of mixed parentage most frequently be-
came victims when the union of parents
was between Irish and native born, and
next between Irish and English. The
claim often made that tuberculosis does
not exist 10 any great extent among the
Hebrews is partially borne out by the
statistics in large cities; that
is, while the disease is very prevalent
among the Hebrews it seldom takes on
fatal form. There seems to be a racial
immunity against the toxine of the tn.
bercle bacill, but not against its growth.
The institute finds that the frequency
with which residence is changed by tn.
poor constitutes menace to
gument in favor of registration of tuber.
culosis. 1t is also urged that disinfec
ton of houses when vacated by consump-
tives, whether by death or removal, should
be practiced everywhere. 1t is interest
Ing to note that in Philadelphia every
ward in which an institution for the
treatment of tuberculosis exists showed
of the death rate from the
disease. while some of the adjoInins
wards have had an increase.
