The Christmas Ghosts.
Ghost, Of the Past. in the near shadow
biding
The hearts unspoken call.
With hand unfailing all our treasures
Deep in thy chambered hall, :.
Draw ToNlav's curtain back from Memory's
And To our sight display
What we called lost. but what thy care i'm
mortal
Has only stored AWAY.
Ghost of the Present, shape so quickly
flying.
Smile through thy little hour:
Press on our Inns ono kiss of love undying,
Drop at our feet nne flower.
Ghns, of the Future. holding in suspension
The coronrt and cross.
Our thought OF thee lie hope, not appre-
h|cns;on;
Our proving. gain. not loss.
Shine through the cloud that wells thee
from our faces:
Some reckoning joy disclose:
And. like the aurora in far northern places,
Brighten uur Christmas SHOWS.

out of Ole Sagengs sails. In his con-
vass against Mr.. Stevenson last fall,
he proclaimed thruout the length and
breadth of the district that Mr..
Stevenson was an up-holder of Can
nonism," a word which he (Sageng)
is supposed to have coined, and he
held up to the voters all the horrors
implied by that term. Mr.. Steener-
sons action proves that he is no
friend of one man power and the &C
ton Of the house inchanging the rules
proves that submission to these rules
in the past has been voluntary and
not compulsory
Mr.. Stevenson did not vote for
Speaker Cannon in the caucus, but
voted for him in the house, which
latter action was a polite thing to do
and for the best interest of the dis
trict. There is no question but what
Mr.. Stevenson has correctly inter
preted the wishes of a majority Of his
constituents in this matter.

SOLD OUT HIS BUslNEss.-C. S.
Wees has sold his fruit and confec-
tionery business on the east side to
Dan Ayres, who has already taken
charge. Mr.. Wees has built up a
large and profitable business in this
line during the past few years, and
his only reason for selling out is on
account Of his health. He prefers
out door work to the long tedious
hours in a store. He will in all pro-
liability remain In Warren and en-
gage in some other business more to
his liking.
His successor, Mr.. Ayres. is an en-
terprising and popular young man,
who, no doubt, will keep up the bust
ness standard set BY Mr.. Wees. and
make the venture q success.

Judge Anderson, of the United
States Court of Appeals, instructed
the jury to bring in verdict of not
guilty in the government suit against
the Standard Oil Company. This is
the same case in which fine of
$29,240,000.00 was imposed by
Judge Lands. The Numerically op.
posite decisions go to extremes and,
it seems that there ought to be some
middle ground that would serve the
ends Of Justice. The infallibility of
courts has not been strengthened, in
the public mind, by these decisions.

Body Was Found in Crude
Grave in a Rochester
Cemetery.
ASSAULTED BEFORE DEATH
MEMBERS OF GIRLS FAMILY
THINK THAT THE ASSASSIN
FOLLOWED HIS VICTIM FROM
HOME TO CEMETERY.

Rochester, n. Y. Aug. 3.-The body
Of Anna Schumacher, seventeen years
old, was found half buried in a seclud-
ed spot in Holy Sepulchre cemetery
this morning. The girl had been muir
dered. She left home Saturday to
decorate the graves of relatives and
had been missing since.
That the victim fought desperately
for her honor and life was shown by
signs of a struggle around the place
where the girl was attacked. Super
fetal examination by the police result
ed in the announcement that Miss
Schumacher had been assaulted be-
fore her death. She was the youngest
of eight sisters. There were two
brothers in the family. The girl while
seventeen years old looked much
younger. She was very pretty. Rela-
tives believe she was followed to the
cemetery by the assassin and attack
ed as she was about to leave for home.
A plank had evidently been used to
dig the crude grave. 1t was the scrap
ing of the earth that led to the discov-
cry.

is still in very serious condition and
grave doubts are entertained for his
recovery. This is the second time
Mr.. Land has been stricken with ap-
pendicitis while in Chicago although
an operation was not necessary in the
previous attack. 1t is feared that the
fact that Mr.. Land refused to have an
operation performed until his wife and

Records of Trial Made Public
By Criticism Made

JUDGE ADVOCATE CURIOUS
KNOW CONTENTS OF MRS. SUIT
TONS SUPPRESSED LETTERS
AS THE PUBLIC is.
(American News Service)

Annapolis, Aug. 9.-Sensations de-
veloped in the Sutton inquiry today.
Judge Advocate Leonard decided that
in consideration of comments in the
press the records of Saturdays star
chamber session were to be made pub
lie. Lawyer Davis for the Sutton S
said nothing could be accomplished by
such an action except to satisfy the
morbid curiosity of the courtroom
throng. Davis claimed the letters
were written by a frantic and anger
ed mother and were irrevelant. Judge
Leonard angrily admitted he himself
was curious and now wanted the pub
lie to know what Mrs Sutton's charg-
es were. Mrs. Sutton remained in the
court room but Mrs. Parker, young
Sutton's sister hurriedly left the court
room.
The letters were from Mrs. Sutton
to Harry M. Schwartz, formerly clerk
in the paymasters office, navy depart
ment, Washington. Here are some Of
the extracts:
Some Of Extracts.
These men rode out in my sons
auto. Adams pulled off his coat when
the auto stopped and went at my son.
Osterman knocked him down five
times. Adams sat on his head and
two others on his back Good God. Mr.
Schwartz, to think my son is dead and
these wild men are still walking the
streets"
When the sentence was read say
ing Adams, Osterman and Utleys
faces were enough to convict them
the young officers in court snickered
and ripples of laughter ran through
court. Mrs. Sutton's letters declared
that the fight was planned in advance
and was engineered by Utley. She
wrote that her son came to her in the
spirit and told her he had not suicid-
ed but that Lieut.. Adams had killed
him, that he was beaten to death and
shot to hide the crime.
