THEM
SAYS DYING MAN
Insane Pastor of Flock, Killed
BY Parishioner, Prays
For Man.
HE HAD WILD FANCEIS,
PASTOR BECAME INSANE AND
STORED ARMS IN HIS CHURCH
WHICH HE LATER MADE USE
OF.

Herman, Mo, June 22.-"God for
give them, they know not what they
do" said the Rev. Valentine Strauss,
who was shot and killed by Max
Kneische, a member of his congrega-
ton.
The Rev. Mr.. Strauss was pastor of
the Evangelical Church of Stolpe,
twelve miles southwest of this city.
For several months he had shown
signs of insanity. He had stocked the
church and parsonage with all sorts
of weapons and ammunition. All at
tempts to remove the guns weer foiled
by the preacher, who became violently
insane week ago. His wife, in ter
ror, notified the neighbors of his con-
dition, and meetings were held, at
which it was determined to get him
into sanitarium. Yesterday a num-
Der of farmers were discussing ways
and means to disarm him when he
suddenly came upon them.
He had secretly left the parsonage,
which was being watched, and opened
hostilities by shooting through the
windows of Henry Zastrow, his near
est neighbor. The Zastrow family fed
and the preacher disappeared. Then
he suddenly emerged from corn field
upon the men at Fromm's blacksmith
shop. He carried two guns, and sew
eral revolvers were belted around his
waist. Without warning he opened
fire and Kneische, who also was
armed, discharged a load of bird shot
into his body at short range.
Strauss ran about two hundred
yards into the woods. His pursuers
came upon him as he was kneeling in
prayer. For the first time in months
his sanity had returned and he realized
what had happened. Kneische and 9th
ers knelt in a circle around their dy-
ing pastor, who prayed for them and
himself as his life sped away.

POSTAGE STAMPS
Waste and CareIessness That Enrich
Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam.
of we waste other things the way
we do stamps" said stamp clerk the
other day, we Americans are Just
about the most wasteful people on the
face Of the earth.
Uncle Sam is much more than half
a million dollars in pocket every year
as result of carelessness in the use of
stamps. The government never loses
anything by such carelessness and al
ways gains.
How many stamps do you put loose
in drawer of your desk or in corner
Of your pocketbook and never think of
again until you come across them, aged
and torn, while rummaging about
months later? Then they are tossed
into the wastebasket
Lots Of people are careless about
putting stamps on envelopes and paper
wrappers. The result is that often be-
fore the stamp has been Cancelled it
has fallen off and the letter is held up
at the other end of the line until post
age is paid.
"a great many more folks put on too
much postage. They slap on two or
three stamps to a package that re-
quires only one. They are too busy or
too indolent to take the trouble to
have the package weighed and find
out how much postage the package
requires.
'If too little postage is put on a let
ter, Uncle Sam simply holds it up at
the other end until the postage due
has been paid. But if too much is put
on Uncle Sam simply pockets the ex-
cess to which he is not entitled and
says nothing."-Chicago Tribune.

WHERE WE GET OUR COFFEE.

The reference to our coffee trade
with Venezuela In the discussion of
the points at issue between that coun,
try and the United States suggests a
recurrence to the subject that we
have dealt with before-the wholly
misleading use of names In the sell.
ing Of coffee.
We have before us the figures on
the importations for the calendar year
1907. Venezuela is not specifically
mentioned, but comes under the clas.
siiication of "other South American
Countries" Importations under that
head amounted to 1886, 900 pounds
and ranked second In the list. AT
the top was Brazil, from which we
took 72I1S7 900 pounds. Then came
the Central American States and
British Honduras" with 67.704, ,0OO
pounds.
Ii will be noticed that we have seid
nothing so far of Java or Mocha, bu,
1t is not their turn yet. though every
body drinks Java or Mocha or Java
and Mocha mixed. Actually the next
exporting country is Mexico, our pur.
chases from which amounted to a..
$4,000 pounds. This brings us to
the East Indies" 1l.2SO,OOO pounds,
with Its hint that there is really some
Java coffee sold in the country. But
Brazil sends us sevennInths of our
importations of 940.00O.OOO pounds.
and all Latin America sends us more
than 90O.0O0.OO0 pounds.
AS for Mocha. It is simply lost In
the deluge. Under the head "Other
Asia and Oceanica," there appears a
record of 4,747,916 pounds, which. we
suppose. includes all the Mocha that
is imported, II there happens to be
Java Is Of not much more Importance
when the enormous total is consid.
cred. The consumption in one large
city would exhaust the entire oriental
product that is sent to this country.
Obviously, therefore, coffee In the
United States means American coffee
and very little besides. and as a mat.
ter OF fact the entire production OF
the world outside Brazil Is not sufiic.
lent to satisfy the demands of this
market. The East Indies produce. all
told, but fraction of what we con
sumo. Whether the American coffee
is worse or better than the Asiatic Is
another question. but few Americans
have an opportunity to Judge of the
difference.

AFTER
SOUTHERN ROADS
Attorney General Directed to Proceed Against
Roads that Discriminate Against Passengers
OF Color When Same Fare is Paid

WASHINGTON, April S.-Presideni
Rooevelt today made public letter
of April 2 TO the attorney general, di
rectlng proceedings by injunction to
compel certain railroads of the south
TO furnish equal accommodations to
white and negro passengers. The
text of the presidents letter follows:
TO the Department of Justice:
Il forward herewith the report OF
the Interstate commerce commission
containing its order OF June T, and re.
port of failure OF the railroad com.
panies to obey this order. under date
of March 26. 1908. together with let,
ter of the commission of April |.
1908. 1t appears that the Nashville,
Chattanooga a. st. Louis railway has
not complied with the order OF the
commission to furnish the same facil-
tiles to colored passengers paying
first class fare that is furnished to
white passengers paying first-class
fare. From time to time various com
plants have ben made TO me by col.
ored people on certain railroads were
filthy and inadequate as compared to
accommodations furnished to white
passengers paying same fare. The
commission has taken what Is unques.
tionably the right ground-thnt when
separate accommodations are provld
ed for white and colored passengers
the accommodations for colored pas
sengers shall be as good as those fur.
nished TO white passengers for the
same money. In other words, while
there is nothing In the law which for
bids separate accommodations. these
accommodation must be equal.
This principle of the equality Of
railroad accommodation is now set
out expressly in various state laws.
For instance, the code OF the state
OF Alabama provides that there shall
be equal but separate accommoda.
tions for the white and colored races
by providing two Or more passenger
cars for each passenger train. or by
dividing the passenger cars by par.
titions. The action OF the commission
mas simply been to Insist that accom-.
modations be equal In convenience
and comfort for the same money
wherever separations are made. In
this particular case where the rail.
way has neglected to comply with the
order of the commission II ia impor-
tant that compliance with this order
be Immediately obtained. suggest
that you proceed to enforce the order
by injunction proceedings. unless in
your judgment some other course is
preferable.
