"A double burglary which luckily
Melted the thieves but very little cash,
occurred in Cassville Wednesday
evening. The brewery was visited
that night and the burglars first
proceeded to empty q key of beer.
They then went to the Office and
turned things topsy turvy but took
away nothing of value. The postoffice
was also entered and about 81 90 in
change taken. Nothing else was dis
turbed. Access to both buildings
was gained through the windows.
The following dispatch from
Washington dated October 9th will
doubtless be of local interest: Declar-
ing, that complaints continue to come
to the department alleging violation
of postal regulations concerning the
disposition of registered mail Endorsed
for delivery to addresses in person,
an order was today issued directing
that mail must be delivered to no one
but the addressee in person, not even
upon his written oroer. If it cannot
be delivered to the person addressed,
it must be returned to the sender or
otherwise disposed OF under the regula-
tions applicable to to unbelievable
registered mail. The wrapper of
registered matter is required to be
examined before delivery to see if it
bears restrictive Endorsement, failure
to notice which will no longer be &C
copied as an excuse. 5"

REV. E. K. OLLIE LIKENS
EXAMINER TO A HARLOT
Fight for Justice Keynote of
Rally at Central M efhOdiSf
Episcopal Church

Luthers battle hymn of the reforma-
tion, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Central Methodist Episcopal church
last night, struck the keynote of the
rally. The spirit of war was in the
speakers and the resolve to fight for
justice in San Francisco in the hearts
of the hearers.
Rev E. r. Dille's attack upon the
forces which brought about Heneys
wound at the hands of Haas was direct
said, and it's impudence is not to be
tolerated That sheet poses now as
the friend of the prosecution, when it
has filled its unclean columns for
The sincerity of the Examiner is the
sincerity of a harlot. The Globe is an
unclean thing.
The most miserable creature in CAL
ifornia" was Dille'S Characterization of
Lieutenant Governor Porter. 1T is a
grand thing" said the pastor, that
California'S two universities stood out
boldly in defiance of all this linked in
iquity and pointed out to this befud
died commonwealth the righteousness
and justice of the prosecutions stand.
This, before the asSassin'S shot at the
champion of the right, had shocked
into realization of right and wrong"
Referring to the words of an after
noon speaker that the criminal law
must be reformed" to eliminate such
technical loopholes as the keen eyes of
the higher jurists constantly discover.
G. H. Boke. the leader of the league OF
justice, said:
TT is useless to reform the intrica-
cies of the criminal law unless we Sc
cure that larger attitude from the
courts of appeal in this state of doing
substantial justice to society at the
same time substantial justice is done
toward the accused.
The situation here in San Francisco
eliminating with the shooting of Heney
is illustrative of the necessity of courts
of appeal basing their decisions upon
the principle of giving the accused all
substantial rights which he is entitled
to under the law, but not giving him
those puerile technical advantages
which deprive society of it's substantial
rights within the law.
"The situation in San Francisco today
demands that society be protected and
that the courts themselves shall not
be brought into disrepute so that faith
shall be lost in them. With this
changed attitude upon the part OF the
higher courts, of greater solicitude to
secure substantial Justice for the state
and the accused than for the observ-
ance of all technical formalities, re-
form in the criminal law itself can be
looked forward to with some hope of
good accomplished"

pulpit yesterday. but sent to his church
the following statement. which was
adopted by large congregation:
II L were occupying my pulpit today
the developments in San Francisco
would lead me to preach on The Su-
premacy of Law
1t will therefore be most agreeable
to me if. as a congregation, you will
der them forwarded to the San Fran
cisco Call:
AS a congregation, representing a
large constituency of the people OF Pa
cific Grove, we are greatly shocked and
deeply panied by the attempt on the life
of Francis j. Heney the man who has
stood in the very forefront of the thin
line seeking the redemption of San
Francisco from the grasp of her heart
less despoilers.
1T is distressing beyond measure that
certain representative powers of the
press and of capital and professional
interests should put anything in the
way OF Heney and his associates to
block their progress toward such de-
sired end-the Imprisonment of the
whole brood of boodlers, grafters and
law breakers.
But when conspiracies against life,
such as have repeatedly shown the foul
hearts and black hands that conceive
them in darkness and control them In
secret. rise up against the supremacy
of law to prevent its just execution. 1t
becometh the people in their sovereign
ty and is their bounden duty to rise up
in their might and wrath and give tC
justice and its executors the support
necessary to make effective their pow
ers.
I'VE trust Heney will recover and. un-
der Gods blessing, be able to continue
for San Francisco and California his
great work.
Resolved. that we assure Mr.. Langdon
and his associates. together with that
part of the press supporting the prose
cution. our moral support, and we pray
righteous purpose and duty by any con-
spiracies of the devil and his agents.

two thirds of the members of the police

Sweeney informed the meeting that
Heney was improving and had said he
wanted to go into court and resume
his work there was a remarkable
demonstration of enthusiasm. While
speaking of Keil and his attempt to
stop Langdon and Burns from inter

viction was that Haas did not commit
suicide, but made no explanation of the
remark. Sweeney counse1ed the intro

PEOPLE SHOULD CROWD COURT
Rev. w. H. Bell, who acted as chair
man, in a short, stirring talk, suggest
ed that decent people should take the
seats in the courtroom hitherto occu-
pied by the hirelings, who openly
sneered at the prosecution, and by the
silent inspiration of their presence aid
the administration of justice and the
law.
Rev. Carl Warner made thoughtful
address. reviewing the acts of the cor
porations that had eliminated in the
courtroom tragedy. In my opinion
he said, there has been no act per-
petrated since the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln that means so much to
the whole country" Law and democ-
racy were at stake. the speaker said.
and he suggested that legislation
should be passed. curtailing the power
of the supreme and appellate courts
and extending that of the trial courts.
He urged also that the right OF defend
ANTS to refuse to testify should be with
ldrawn. The superior judges should be
forced to do their duty by personally

Convention.

HUNTINGTON, April IS. The
Republicans OF Wayne county held
their delegate convention yesterday.
appointing delegates to the Fifth dis

state nominating convention and the
judicial convention to be held at
Parkersburg April %. The dele

While both scherr and Swlsher had
representatives on the ground no
effort was made at this time to secure
an instructed delegation for either
and Wayne's 1G delegates win 'go to
Charleston uninstructed. AS the
mater stands at present it appears
that swisher viii get at least a ma
jority of the delegation when the con-
vention meets.
This statement is based upon lie
fact that recognized swisher men
dominated the organization of the
convention. The convention to
elect delegates to the state convention

Larry Cam was before Justice
James N. David last night for laying

Helen went with pail to Cams
well to get water. Cann's little hoy
threw dirt in the bucket and ran him
onto Cams porch and downed him.
Cam went out and took the little
girl off the boy and that constituted
the trouble.
The justice acted just right, when
he dismissed the warrant, as there
