GOVERNOR HANLY
ABOUT CHURCHES
Charges Them With Being Re-
sponsibIe For Delay of
Temperance.
A REASON Is ASSIGNED.
CLAIMS IN CHAUTAUQUA AD-
DRESS AT LANCASTER, OHIO,
CHURCHES LACK "POWER OF
HOLY GHosT"-URGES HASTE.

In an address at Lancaster, Ohio,
before a chautauqua meeting yester-
day, Governor J. Frank Hanly, of In
diana was one of the principal speak
ers. His lecture dealt with the tenn
perance question and he created a
mild sensation, when he charged the
churches with being responsible for a
great deal of the slowness which has
marked the anti-saloon movement in
the country. Petty jealousies, denom-
inationalism and many other causes
OF trivial nature were assigned as
the cause of the constant delay of or
ganiZed effort.
"They lack the power Of the Holy
Ghost" he said. TOO many of them
think more of worldly matters than
stamping out the liquor movement in
this country"
He advised all temperance advo-
Gates to get together. as the next six
ty days would see a great fight in
temperance circles.
Governor Hanly closed his address
with a tribute to Abraham Lincoln
and Governor Harris.

THREE SUICIDES
At SOUTH BEND
Epidemic Seems to Have
Struck That City.

South Bend, Ind, Aug. 20.-An cpl
demic of suicides seems to have
struck South Bend, three attempts at
self-destruction having been made
here within twenty-four hours, two
of them being successful.
The first to kill himself was Charles
F. Erler, who, unable to support his
wife and family of eight children, it is
alleged, took three ounces of lauda-
mum. dying within a few hours at the
hospital. --+
The second victim of suicidal mania
was Charles Holstein, who shot him
self through the head with a 32-cali-
Der revolver. No motive is known for
the deed. He was 30 years old.
The third attempt at suicide, which
was unsuccessful was made by Miss
May Nash, aged 2S years The young
woman refuses to explain her act. She
will live, physicians having been sum-
moned in time to overcome the effects
of carbolic acid tablets which she had
taken.

local Methodist ministers and they all
seemed much taken with the idea.
The Rev. w. NJ. Nelson pastor of the
Grace NJ. e. church, went to the state
Epworth league convention at Winona
to further the project. The matter is
now being given serious consideration
by the district Epworthians and it is
very probable that before the close of
this years chautauqua's sessions Sup
erintendent Shaw will have received
some word from the organization. 1t
Is anticipated that this word will be
favorable and if SO, there Will undoubt-
eddy be a two weeks session next year.
There is a growing demand for such
a session this year as is illustrated by
the desire Of the campers to spend two
full weeks on the grounds. The prop
osition would also be of great aid to
the program in that the program
would not have to be so crowded as at
the present. Under such circum-
stances patrons would have much 9TH
er time to devote to those little pleas
ures and amusements generally accom-
panying life about a chautauqua.

he suggests the Epworth league is that
il is live organization and would do
much towards making the local event
a success in every way. People would
be attracted to the Richmond chautau-
qua from miles around where at pres

addition of the Epworthian sessions
would make the local event a district

a county event instead of one appeal

Noxious Plants.

Aboue half dozen men have been
employed by the city to cut weeds and
grass along the cutters of the streets

for several days. ~
Property owners will be notified to
cut all the noxious weeds on their
property. So far this season many
owners have been careless. Indifferent,
