K,I,ed 81 cylinder lr~,f,.

Struck by cylinder from an engine
in the Friend paper mill at West Car
roIitan Arthur Ashton, aged 20 of
South Central avenue that city, lived
less than an hour. Part OF that time
be, was conscious and exchanged a
few words with those gathered about
his bedside.
Just after the mortalIy-wounded
man had been conveyed to his home,
block away, his BRIDE of five months
bending over him, said: "Do you know
me, Arthur
"Yes,p the dying man replied, bnt
showed no signs Of recognition. A
few minutes afterward he passed
away.
The accident occurred in the boiler
room, the fatal cylinder blowing off Of
what is known as the "Brown en-
CINE" There was only small deto-
nation. The object struck the man
just below the waist line, MASKING the
right lea and it is thought, breaking
the spinal cord.
COULD DO NOTHING.
Ashton was carried to- his home
and DIR. Il. b. Doan was summoned.
The physician saw that there was lit
tie that could be done TO relieve the
suffering of The injured man. He was
uneon scious when he arrived. Coroner
Swisher was called late in the after
noon.
Ashton was brother-in-law of
Adam Kahn, the village blacksmith
at West Carrolltan, whose body was
found week ago III the Mianisburg
locks, after he had been missing for
several days. 1t is supposed Hahn
wandered into the canal and was ac-
cidentally drowned. He and Ashton
married sisters.
Ashton aud bis ife were discussing
the death OF their relative Friday
night. Jokingly Mrs. Ashton asked
her husband where he would like to
be buried whep he died, and just as
joyially ne respendsd: ANY place
YOU want to be.o Ashton was at
home for dinner Saturday and kissed
his wife goodbye, when he returned
to work about O'Clock, little dream
ing it was the last time he should ever
see her.

1t is all but officially announced

This tends to confirm the belief ex-
pressed by The Press at the time, that
President Taft's indorsement of Sena-

speech of his long jaunt, was made
rather for what Senator Aldrich is to
attempt in the future than for what
he has done in the past. 1t is obvious

Now, any man in the house, at any
hour OF the day, as question OF
privilege given by the constitution
can arise and nominate Brother Hull
or Brother Hubbard or Brother Champ
Clark, if you please, for speaker, and
the house must vote. Bless you, the
house can at all times change its Off
GERS. and this has often been done in
the history of congress. Can any one
man change it? No. He can kick,
but it takes a majority to act. -
Speaker Cannon in speech at Knox
vile Iowa.
Sure! Any member can do these
things, but he can't. He might arise
and place in nomination any member
of the house, and almost any member
would be a better speaker, but he
could not bring about the election of
the man nominated for the simple
reason that Cannon has by manipula-
tion of the house, so arranged matters
and so tied up different members that
a majority vote could not be obtained.
He further says:
THE rules of the house have been
changed but little since the organi-
zation of congress"
And this is probably true. But,
like the Bible, the rules are suscepti-
BILE of different interpretations. Can
non will make good story for him
self, but little by little his record is
coming to light.

AT Knoxville, Iowa, Speaker Can
non made speech. He declared the
tariff bill had been passed and asked
what would be done about it. "Shall
we let it alone, or shall we raise hell
with it?" said the speaker. Evidently
Mr.. Cannon is seeking information,
and it might be well for him to know
that the propects are bett;r for the
people raising hell" with Cannon

AT the Methodist conference at
Huron held the latter part of last
week and the first of this the matter
OF divorces was given some attention.
1t was the decision of the conference
that no man who is divorced, or who
marries divorcoe, can be employed
in the ministry, unless the divorce be
granted for scriptural reasons. To
set such an example is worth more
than many empty resolutions against
the evil.

THE Argus-Leader is fond of speak
ing of Eagan as one of the prominent
insurgents of the state. The fact is
that Egan came to this state short
time ago and attached himself to the
progressive faction because he
thought it the winner. As matter
of fact the fight had already been
won. Had Egan thought the so
called stalwarts in any likelihood of
being on the winning side he would
have as readily attached himself to
that faction.

THERE seems to be difference of
opinion among the so.called stalwarts
as to Gov. Vessey and his administra

other is certain that Vessey will re-
ceive denomination because of the
success of his administration.

CONGRESSMAN HERBERT PARSONS, of
New York, is another of the prominent
republicans of the east to denounce
Speaker Cannon. Parsons accuses
the speaker of having used his
influence to prevent the passage of a
law having for its object the stopping
of Tammany's election frauds in New
York City in return for enough
Tammany votes in congress last
March to insure the continuation of
the autocratic rules of the house by
which Cannon virtually controls
legislation and the working machinery
of the house. Parsons is chairman Of
the New York county republican
committee, which makes him enc OF
the big men of the party. 1t will be
remembered that Tammany delivered
its votes to help Cannon continue the
old rules in the house. Tammany
never does a thing of that kind with
out something in return. Atthe time
it was the opinion of all weliinformed
men that deal of some kind had
been made, but just what it might be
was not known. Little by little Can
mons iniquities are being exposed

THINGS political are beginning to
develop in Minnesota. The latest
and most important development is
the announcement that the Anti.
Saloon League will demand of the re.
publicans a county-option plank in
the republican platform and the con
sequent pledging of candidates to
that measure The penalty for re,
fusal of this demand is to be the
nomination of temperance ticket for
the purpose of defeating the republi
cans at the next general election
The ''drys" do not even intimate the
possibility of joining with the demo
Gratis in the event of failure to secure
the concession from the republicans
1t simply amounts to threat to ruin
the republican party if it will not
take up the county option measure.
Whichever way the thing goes county
option is bound to cut figure in
MinResota politics in the next cam
paign Should the Anti-Saloon League
fail in its plan, it will practically be
out Of business in that state for some
time so far as politics go. Neither
party will then consider it worthy OF
notice.

CENTENNIAL OF THE DISCIPLES
OF CHRIST.

|
OF CHRIST.
The Disciples of Christ are holding
their centennial convention at Pitts
burg this week. The date, Oct. 11-17
1909, is taken from the publication Of
"a Declaration and Address" by
Thomas Campbell, father of Alexander
Campbell, in 1909, which was the
first and only publication of The
iChris; ian Association of Washington
Pa, an organization composed Of
members of different churches bent
on Christian union and missionary
propaganda. Their first church was
organized at Brush Run, Pa, in 1911
From 1918 to 1929 the Campbells
were connected with the Baptists, but
having been received without endors-
ing the Philadelphia confession OF
faith and evincing no disposition to
conform to its tenents, their relation
with the regular ministers of the de-
nomination were increasingly strained
Originally these and other early
leaders of this movement were
Presbyterians.
The Disciples have grown west.
ward with the growth of the nation,
and today they rank sixth among
Protestant religious bodies of the
United States. In Missouri they are
first and nearly, or quite so, in Ken
lucky, Indiana and Oklahoma.
Throughout the upper Mississippi
valley their influence is proportionate
| to their membership aud they are en-
listed aggressively in the cause of
prohibition and other reforms. Their
largest school, Drake University, at
! Des Moines, .;s enc OF tho tho leading
educational institutions of the North
| west.
Pleading from the first for Christian
union and insisting on the abondon-
ment of human creeds, denomination.
al names and post-apostolic authority,
and restoring the primitive church
just as the apostles left it, to give it
at once union, liberty and truth, they
seemed to be cnly adding confusion
to the general sectarian strife of the
day.
For hundred years they have
stood Gamaliel's test: 'If this work
be of men, it will be Cverthrown". In
human ffaiity the balance between
liberty and union has wavered but
has never failed. Denounced by
other religious bodies as heretics in
almost every new field, the day of
their success finds them in cordial
fellowship. The Y. M. G. A., the
Christian Endeavor Society, the In
ternational Sunday School Associa
ton, the Young Peoples Missionary
Movement, and Inter-church Fedora
ton Council accord their representa-
tives full place and power.
The sincerity of their plea for
Christian union is attested by their
general readiness to cooperate in
evangelism, missions and reform. 1t
| is further demonstrated just now by
the character of their centennial cam
paign, "That they all may be one,
that the world may believe is their
chief watchword, and "Where the
Scriptures speak, we speak; where the
Scriptures are silent, we are silent"
defines their method as it has been
for a hundred years. No denomina-
tional monument is being erected and
sectarian feeling is energetically dis
couraged. The endeavor is not to do
something spectacular and extraor
|diDary, but to make fuller approximr
alton to the Christianity Of Christ,
especially in its fruits. s*

IT is reported that Kittredge insists
upon making another factional fight
within the republican party in this
state. He was so long the master of
the political situation in this state
that he seems not to be able to realize
that he is down and out. But. what
ever some may think OF his successor
in the senate, Mr., Kittredge will
never succeed Mr.. Crawford. The
enemies of the latter may accomplish
his defeat at some future time, but
his place will not be filled by Mr..
Kittredge. Neither will the progress
siyes be defeated by faction under
the leadership of Mr. Kittredge.
