DENVER, Feb. A.-In the twenty CEN
turtles Of history of the Catholic church
members OF its priesthood in this city de-
clare there is no record of a tragedy to
parallel that of the killing of Father Leo
while administering sacrament to Giuseppe
Guarnaccio at the altar OF St Elizabeth's s
church yesterday morning Never before
has servant Of the church been sum
moned from the performance of his duty
In so tragic and so dramatic a manner.
This crime will stand out as one of the
most fearful in criminal records Of the
world, and its perpetration will probably
result in the elevation Of Father Leo to the
position Of martyr and lead to his oanoniza-
ton as one of the saints of the church, in
whose service he fell while performing his
duty.
Father Eusebius, senior as the pastor Of
St. Elizabeth, received a telegram last
night from the father provincial in PRter-
son, N. j., instruc ing him to forward the
body OF Father Leo to that city for inter
ment Father Eusebius will accompany the
body.
EuIOEy over Murdered Priest.
Funeral services viii be held at st.
Elizabeths church at 10 O'Clock wednesday
morning, when solemn requiem high mass
will be celebrated. probably by Father
Eusebius.
Father William Organ pastor of St.
Leo's church, will deliver the eulogy and a
sermon against anarchy and socialism. The
funeral services will be attended by 800
members Of the Knights of Columbus and
the entire body OF the knights of St. John
and other Catholic orders.
1t is q custom of the Franciscan order
that no eulogies be preached for its de-
ceased members, but on account OF the
tragic circumstances and the general effect
in this case OF the assassination upon the
public the rule will be set aside.
Giuseppe Guarnaccio the murderer, talked
freely in jail concerning himself and his
act, for which he declared he had no
regret. He said he was a native of Sicily,
56 years Of age. He became a socialist and
anarchist at IS years of age. He is a shoe
maker by trade. He came to America two
years ago and has since been teaching
anarchy. working but little at his trade.
He lived before coming TO Denver at Pater-
son, N. j.. in small towns of Massachu-
setts and in Chicago He came to Denver
two weeks before Christmas.
Tho statements of Guarnaccio that he is
an anarchist is borne out by letters and
taken from him. Among his
letters was printed list of the murders of
the worlds rulers from the assassination
of Car Paul OF Russia in 1901 down to the
recent killing of the king Of Portugal few
weeks ago. He also had many pages of
anarchlstic literature In his own hand
writing and on printed slips.
Father Pacificus of the Franciscan mon
astery at Seventeenth and Center streets
though he did not have a personal ac-
quaintance with Father Leo. saw him some
years ago and knew of his character and
work He was much shocked to hear of
his trrible death, as were all Catholics in
Omaha.

him by the church.

The distance for planting corn In n

by the planter as well as those de-

good one. 1t may meet the require
ments for small patches that can be

The building we show here is ia
miliar to most of our readers who have
visited Portland, having been occupied
for the Drug business of II. H. Hay
continuously since 1886
1t was enlarged and completely re-
modelled in 1905, but through an un-
fortunate fire in November last, the
new upper stories were destroyed, and
the rest of the building almost COM
pletely wrecked.
1t has now been restored and will be
re-opened early this month with every
modern improvement and convenience
for quickly handling business in Drugs,
Chemicals, Physicians and Sick Room
Supplies, Toilet Goods and Sundries.
1t is a matter of interest to many to
know that the upper floors of this
block will be the home of the old re-
liable remedy, q F." Atwood's Bit
tiers, household safeguard known to
many of us since childhood.
A corporation has been formed for
taking over the Paint business of the
concern, giving both branches better
opportunity to handle this rapidly in
creasing business. This will be carried
on under the name of the Charles NJ.

dealing which they are sure to meet
with in addressing these two enterpris-

Dry VS. Wet.

Saturday The Globe published a
statement, made by the brewers of
Decater, H., that, according to CEN
sus reports, there was more crime in
Prohibition Maine than in "Wet"
Illinois, and that in the former State,
during 1904, there were put in prison
for various crimes 254 people out of
every 100000 population, while in
"wet" Illinois for the same year only
eighty out OF every 100000 population
were sent to prison as a punishment
for crime. The Chicago Tribune is
authority for the statement that Pro.
hibition Maine has S104 per capital
in It's banks, while "Wet" Illinois has
but 5000. Little old Maine has
s22, 900, 900 more bank deposits than
proud "Wet" Ohio, with six times
greater population. Twenty out of
every 1000 boys and girls, between
the ages of 10 and IA years, of Maine
are illiterate, while in Illinois forty
nine out of every 1000 boys and girls
of the same age are illiterate.-Atch-
