st. Paul. Aug. 23.-Burglars made
q partially successful attempt early
this morning to blow open and rob the
safe in the pavilion at Wildwood on
the east shore of White Bear lake, a
resort operated by the Twin City
Street Railway company. They over
powered. tied and gagged the two
night watchmen. fastened them to a
fence In an out of the way place.
They then broke into the Office of
H. M. Barnett. lessee of the pavilion,
and exploded two charges of explo-
sive. shattering the outer and inner
doors Of the safe. An attempt was
made to drill a hole In the money
compartment door but the burglars
evidently became alarmed and aban-
doned the job.
The receipts Of money at the resort
from Sundays business are said to
have been large but the robbers got

CHURCH GOSS|PS
MADE TO EAI.CR0W|
Woman Accused of Numbering
Husband Paraded Him
In Public. !:

Phillipsburg. N. J., Aug. 23.-Up and
down the Pohatcong and the .Musco-
netcong valleys and over the hills be-
tween drove George Frey and his wife
all day through the pouring rain, that
all the countryside might see he is
alive and know that she was not his
murderess; also that all might know
he believed she had been true through
the fourteen dreary years since he
ran away and left her and his son.
Today they went to the annual pic
mic of the farmers at Belvidere to fur
ther spread the vindication of the
long stunned and suspected woman
and the news of her husbands return.
After that Frey may perhaps have
his first kiss from the wife he aban-
doned, but she will not even grant him
q handshake until she feels that
every man, woman and child in War
rem county. N. j., from the Delaware
back to the mountains, knows that
she is guiltless Of murder and infidel-
ity, and the man who came out OF OBJ
livion with all the anticipation of a
wooer admits that her decision is right
and is willing to bido his time.
Heroine of Countryside.
Frey, who was a prosperous farmer
in the village of Broadway, N. j.,
dropped out of sight IA years ago as
completely as If Jenny Jump Mountain
had opened and swallowed him up.
Today he told the reasons for his dis
appearance and his wife, after IA
years of silent suffering from the
most cruel suspicion, relieved her
mind. ss
She will be the heroine at the farm
ers' picnic and the county gossips who
have pointed her out to strangers as
q woman Of dreadful mystery, will beg
her forgiveness. Many of them have
begged forgiveness already. AS the
pair drove in their buggy today from
farm to farm they stopped at every
dooryard while the wife called out to
the women folk whom she had not
spoken to for IL years:
Here Is George Frey. my husband!
Ho 10 alive!"
Quit Jobs to Look.
And the farmers wives, forgetful Of
the storm, rushed bareheaded to the
roadside to lSok at the man brought
back from the dead. and the farmers
left their threshing floors and rainy
day jobs in woodsheds to shake hands
with the sheepish looking Frey.
.@4"I am alive" he said, simply. ''My
wife IL good woman: I abandoned
her; she was true to me. The stories
you have told about her are lies!''
Frey made his speech many times
today, and 1t should he said to the
credit Of the men and women who
heard 1t that they extended their
hands to the woman in the buggy ana
begged pardon. She forgave them.
She has forgiven her husband, but
she does not love. him and has told
him. she cannot. SoAhe will begin all
over again to WOO her as he did the
hrst time. 81 years ago

A DISASTROUS
MORNING FIRE
Principal Portion of Illinois
Town Wiped Out by
the Blaze.

Decatur. ILL.,, Aug. 23.-The fire
which started at ] o'clock this morn
ing in the Moore house and Wells
hard ware store on East Main street
was under control at o'clock this
afternoon. The loss is placed at ST.
100000 but the figures are purely
speculative. The insurance is about
eighty per cent of that amount.
Following the fire. which is the
worst In the history of the city. De-
catur faced a water famine. II be-
came necessary to shut off the resi-
dence districts, the supply OF water
in the reservoir being down to seven
feet. The water works today is work
ing under fire pressure to refill the
reservoir by morning if possible. The
condition temporarily places the city
in hazardous position. especially if
another fire should break out.
During the fire today. a blaze was
discovered in the engine room of the
Decatur hotel, situated a half block
west of the district that was being
destroyed. There was panic among
the guests who realized that the fire
men had bigger job on their hands
than they could handle. Prompt work
by the hotel people resulted in en-
tinguishing the flames before they had
a chance to spread.
In response to call for help,
Springfield sent an engine and fire
crew under the direction of Assistant
Chief Cullen, and this gave the city
four engines with which to fight the
flames. The department was crippled
by falling walls covering several
hundred feet of hose.

and most ornate exposition building
in the United States has been. COM
pleted just in time to receive the
unique trophies of the hunt gathered
by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt
In Africa and now about to be un-
packed in this city.
This building of granite with floor
space of approximately nine and one
half acres and costing three and one
half millions of dollars has been err
ected by congress for the national
museum and is today being put in
order for the proper exhibition OF
various objects that have been col
lected, chief among which are the
Roosevelt trophies.
While no definite arrangement has
been made, 1t is likely that rooms on
the first floor will be the future home
OF Roosevelt specimens. Consider
able time will be required to prepare
these skins which are packed in
brine. in metal casks.
AS soon as the eighty-two pelts
gathered by Mr.. Roosevelt are taken
from the casks, they will be tanned
as the best process for their preserva-

the court Of D. A. Dryer. Justice of
the peace, and exonerated from the
charge Of causing the death Of his
wife. Mrs. Allie McMullen. by admin
tstering morphine poison. The point
which made it unnecessary to go any
further in, hearing the evidence was
based upon the testimony of DR.. ].
+. Hughes and Dr.. 8. P. Reeser, az
we'll as the testimony Of DR.. Fuller,
who brought the case, that the admin
istering Of one-quarter grain was not
excessive and that death resulted to
Mrs. McMullen from constitutional
disease, the evil effect of which the
morphine merely precipitated.
When the Judge announced the dis
missal of the defendant. Mr.. Mcbful-
len was surrounded by crowd Of his
neighbors and friends who were here
from Neosho Rapids for the trial and
the courtroom looked like a Metho-
dist revival with its round Of hand
shaking and general congratulations.
McMullen Was Confident.

~ Id. But it isn't pleasant to
be-. ,ven IL you know you are
Few Of the Neosho Rapids people
believed McMullen guilty. Even peo-
pie with whom he wasn't on friendly
terms said they were sure the man
didn't kill his wife. McMullen hur-
ried home this afternoon after his
acquittal.
DR.. Fuller after the testimony show
ing that Mrs. McMullen was suscep-
tible to very small dose of NOR
phine, seemed satisfied with the YER
dict. The fact that he had heard
McMullen held him responsible for
Mrs. McMullen's death was what
caused him to suspect McMullen, and
his (Fuller's) vindication from the
implication Of professional careless
ness seemed to set the matter right
In his mind.
Not Unfriendly to Fuller.
DIR. Hughes and DR.. Reser did not
appear unfriendly to Fuller. Their
testimony was particularly clear and
showed the most careful study of the
subject. They did not believe Nc
Mullen killed his wife; neither did
they believe Fuller carelessly admin
istered an overdose of morphine and
their expert testimony cleared both
men Of the charges against. them and
made further continuance of the
hearing unnecessary.
DR.. Hughes was most accurate in
his testimony. giving pointed and Ju-
dicious answers to the questions asked
Of him and practically everything he
said was substantiated by Doctor Re
ser. The professional habits in the
giving Of medicine. particularly po-
tent drugs like morphine, the lido
syncrasy peculiar to certain constitu-
tions against the administering of
such drugs and the physical condi-
tion Of Mrs. McMullen were the
points most thoroughly elaborated and
the conclusion reached from them
made other forms. Of evidence unnec-
essary. This conclusion Of the case
renders DR.. Fuller hon-liable to any
blame in the matter. or any indiscre.
ton in prescribing medicine.

COURT OF APPEALS
MAY Be ABOLISHED,

Hon R. N. Hardeman, representative
in the legislature from Jackson county,
stated, while on visit, to Atlanta, that
he will introduce, at the next session OF
the general assembly, bill providing
for the abolition of the state court OF
appeals.
Mr.. Hardeman declares that the new
appellate court has not given Satisfac-
ton; not because of any shortcomings
on the part of the judges, but because
OF conflicts arising between 1t and the
supreme court. Most states have ahan-
doned double courts Of last resort, he
declares, as one must be higher than
the other, resulting, in large part, in
expanding rather than decreasing the
red tape of the law.
In his bill he will provide that three
new justices be added to the supreme
court bench, making the total number
nine. He believes that then the one
court will be able to transact all the
business of the two without any danger
of its members being overworke6.

rAKIsuDlclARY OUT OF roLlrlCs.

The Atlanta Journal in last Sundays
takes high ground in opposition to the
present method of electing our judi
ciary. We believe in government by
the people, but we do not believe that
the election of our judges and solicitors
by the people of their respective judi
cial circuits is best for the people. Onr
judiciary is becoming thoroughly per-
meated with political rottenness. 1t is
wrong, both in theory and in practice,
that our judges and solicitors OF our
courts should be elected by the direct
suffrage OF the people whose cases they
must try.-Calhoun Times.
We do not say that the judiciary is
becoming thoroughly permeated with
rottenness," but we do say that the
election by the people Of judges and
solicitors, has tendency to make TO-
litical partizans out of these officers, and
they should not have to resort to "po-
litical vote-making" and electioneesing
to secure the offices.
The governor should appoint and the
senate confirm. That is much better
than the present method.

Representative , Tawney calls
public attention to the fact of the
swift growth of the system of
secret service espionage in the
United States in the past ten
years. In 1896 there were 1856 au-
thorized sleuths on the govern
ment payroll, at a yearly cost of
81, 100000. In 1907 the army of
spies had grown to 5000, and the
expense to the government footed
up 100000. In this great still
hunt for malefactors how much
have the people profited? The

successful 10 their efforts to keep
out of jail, and the worst of them
