MINISTRIES
 HARD WORK Pulpit Work Harder Than Ever Before. TIE CALLS ARE INCREASING Minister Now Finds Little Time
 For Study. Heart and Brain Trouble Have Become Common Among the Clergy. There is a Desrth of New
 srinisters.

The stress and strain of the present. day parochial duties are killing on the ministry. There are more break downs among the clergy in recent years than most persons suppose. Some notable cases are made known. the passenger lists of the great ocean liners showing that this or that pastor. who has att tained prominence and worked like a slave. has gone to seek rest away from the exaeting duties os his parish. For every case that becomes known. how ever, there are dozen of which noth- ing Is heard.
 Heart and brain troubles have be. come comon among the clergy. Once a minister conducted the church ser. vices on the Sabbath. led the midweeis prayer meeting and filled in some oi the rest of the time making calls. He had plenty of hours to call his own. ir which to read and to prepare his ser mons He nad q life that was exact. ing. but not nurdensome.

It is evident to anyone. then. that to try to starve away the fat Is both ri- dlcuious and dangerous. It may or may not have the desired effect. but what Is almost certain is that a star walton diet will give a shock to the whole system and wreck It.

The same thing happens by trying to use anti-fats, remedies that positively stop digestion. something which Is absurd and which sooner or later results In break down of some organ and eonse- uuent disease.

 Fat as a general rule comes from the |failure of the digestive organs to do |thelr work properly. It may come also |froin over eating. In these cases there lis always some part of the food eaten which Is not eliminated as 1t should be, but is made up In the form of fat and lsent by the blood to various parts of the body. This accumulation continues |constantly until within g comparative lily short time the heart becomes in cased in a layer or coating of fat. The heart seems to be one of the first vital sorRans to be affected in this manner. The food. therefore, in cases of fat is not properly asslmilated-that ts, part of the food is retained by the body which should not be retained. and
 part which should be retained is thrown out. This does not always mean dyg- Spepsla or indigestion. for one may have a very healthy stomach and yet begin to grow fat. through no appar- ent cause.

Prosecuting Attorney Says
Prisoner Told Three
Stories.

Attorneys for Frank Barkar, now
on trial for the murder of Ira Mes
singer, today announced that they
will fight tc he end the introduc-
ton of the confession secured by
the prosecuting attorneys Office
from Barkar. In case the court
admits the confession Its validity
will be attacked II the case ever
reaches the higher courts.
The hearing of the states evil
dence began this morning. Nine
witnesses were examined by the
noon recess, mostly in corrobora-
ton of the fact that Barkar was
in Medical Lake on the day of the
murder, Saturday, July rs, 1908.
William Graham of Medical Lake
had seen Barkar there that day.'
Clyde L. Graves, civil engineer OF
Spokane. identified a map of the
scene of the killing that he had
prepared Tor the prosecution. VIII
liam F. Peters. Medical Lake sa-
loonman, had seen Barkar drinking
on the day of the murder. He had
also seen Ira Messenger. the muir.
dered man. flash two $40 bills.
l.. f. Farris, bus driver at Medi-
cal Lake, noticed Barkar arrive on
the noon car from Spokane on the
25th. John w. Atchley, saloonman
OF Medical Lake, saw Barkar take
six drinks in his place on the day
of the murder.
Michael Bruner, Medical Lake,
identified part of watch chain
worn by Messenger as belonging to
him. but was not so sure on cross
examination that 1t really was Mes
singers or that he had 1t on the
day of his death.
John w. Carver, Medical Lake,
had seen Barkar there July 20. Mrs,
John Pelzel, Medical Lake, said
Barkar had inquired of her as to
real estate values in the town, and
said that he was thinking OF buy.

there to live.

would prefer to consider an ordi-
nance that would eliminate alien
labor entirely, leaving public work
for citizens.
Contractor Allan F. Gill last
night said that 1t was certain that
these men were not receiving the
full scale, and the present wage
limit ordinance Is therefore In.
operative by reason of the fact that
there Is no way to determine which
of the contractors pay under the
scale.
Contractor Broad said the ordi-
nance was not aimed at the federal
union because 1t took few jobs,
but at certain contractors who en-
ploy foreign labor and underbid
those who base their bids on the
city scale.
Labor interests have gained little
more than time by hanging up the
ordinance, as the present practice
of contractors in lodging the scale
will doubtless go on, but the
unions expect In the meantime to
build on stronger foundation by
means of charter amendment, get
ting whatever protection they can
out of the existing ordinance.

SUSPECT MONTENECRlNS
OF DAN|ELuk MURDER

Montenegrins are believed to be
the murderers OF George Danieluk,
whose body was found about Z
O'Clock last night near the Great
Northern freight sheds on Front
avenue. Seven knife wounds had
been inflicted.
Information that Danieluk had
had trouble with Montenegrins was
furnished the police this morning
by Joe Schultz, bartender in the
Winnipeg saloon on Stevens street,
which was the murdered mans IA
vorite resort.
From the fact that Danieluk is
an Austrian, the police are led to
believe the killing was the result
of an argument and fight, probably
the outcome of differences between
Austria and her provinces. A large
body of native Montenegrins are,
now waiting in the city for a call
from their country to join the
army.
The murdered man was known
as sober, Industrious and we'll dis
posed. He has wife and three
children in Austria. 1t is not known
how long he has been in this coun-
try, but it is believed to have been
more than two years, for he con-

Although no bakers appeared be-
fore the council committee last
night to oppose the health boards
sanitary ordinance, they had their
champions there in Councilmen
Mohr, Lambert and Ostrander,
Gray and Funk, who succeeded in
keeping the ordinance before the
committee, instead of recommend
ing it out for passage.
Councilman Watkins secured it's
consideration on motion. Council
man Mohr sarcastically referred to
Otto Bittrick as "the meat inspec-
tor who knows all about baking"
and invited him to represent the
health board as champion of the
ordinance. Bittrick made strong
plea and declared that there is not
a feature in the proposed ordinance
not absolutely essential to the san.
itary welfare of the city.

Bittrick then invited councilmen
to accompany him and satisfy
themselves as to truth of his as.

ignored.

BARKAR DEFENSE WILL
FIGHT HIS CONFESSIONS

fore the noon adjournment, said
that Messenger had bought pair
of shoes in his store at Medical
Lake Saturday evening of the muir
-saee, and that he had paid for them
Py presenting IS bill, from which
Ae was given back 81 in change.
L The selection of jury to try
Harkar was completed toward the
CLOSE of the session yesterday aft
|ernoon. Immediately Deputy Prose
|cntor Fred Pugh made the opening
statement for the prosecution in
which he outlined the case to be
made by the state. Mr.. Pugh de-
tailed in full the three confessions
made by Barkar, two on the night
OF his arrest and the third after
-Barkar was taken back to Medical
Lake and shown the scene of the
killing.
In the second confession, which
was taken down by one of the
court stenographers, .Barkar said
THAT Messenger had followed him
all evening and that just before
THE killing the old man came to-
ward him in very threatening
manner and called him vile
name, whereupon Barkar stopped
and picked up piece of water pipe
at his feet and slew Messenger.
This confession, the prosecutor
said. varied from the first and the
third confession was still different
from the other two. Mr.. Pugh in
sisted that the confessions were
secured voluntarily, without intimi-
dalton or promises or show of
force or authority. Barker, he
said, made the confessions be-
cause he thought the state had the
facts and that there was no use
'of telling anything but the truth.
The prosecutor said he would
show that the killing OF Messenger
was one of the foulest murders
ever committed in the northwest.
and that the defendant ought to
be made pay the extreme penalty.
The prosecutor Illustrated his re-
marks with a skull showing where
the blow was delivered that killed
Messenger and also had a large
chart showing the scene of the
murder.

entirely outside of the issue and
the trial.
The court told the jury about the
shooting and Haas suicide.
Jim Gallagher, the leader Of the
boodling supervisors, the first wit.
ness cross-examined, told the whole
story of the graft on direct ex.
animation.
The first question asked by At
torney Ach. for Ruef, was whether
the witness had talked with the
new attorneys for the prosecution.
He said he had attended a confer
ence of the attorneys for the prose
cution and that they gave him a
copy of his testimony at the last
trial.
Ach led Gallagher over his entire
period Of acquaintance with each
member of the boodling board of
supervisors, who will be witnesses
against Ruef. On several occasions
Ach Interrupted the witness, say
ing his testimony today was differ
ent from his testimony on former
trials.
Ach failed to break down his
testimony.
A verbal encounter between At
torney J. ]. Webb. representing
Police Chief Buggy, and Langdon
and Burns occurred yesterday after
the coroner's jury had viewed the
body of Haas and witnessed dem
onstrations Of the possibility of
hiding a derringer pistol in the
shoe of the dead man.
Webb objected to Burns ques-
tioning Detective Tom Burke, who
assisted Burns in the first search
of Haas. In the wrangle which re-
suited Langdon charged Buggy with
attempting to block the investiga-
ton.
