NEW FAST TRAIN APRIL 4.


It is reported that the new Union
Pacific fast train will start April
4, and will be known as the st. Louis
California limited, and will be one OF
the finest equipped passenger trains IN
service in the west. The train Will
be operated by the Union Pacific and
Chicago & Alton, and will make very
fast time through this part OF the
country. 1t Is said the train will be
made up in st. Louis and will make
a record run over the Alton to Kansas
city. There after short stop 1t will
start west and will make only a few
stops between Kansas City and Dem
yer. From Denver It will go to Salt
Lake and then on to the coast.
It is said that this train will take
the place OF the old Nos. and 8 that
for years have been the Pacific coast
flyers over the milan line from Omaha
west. This train did not pass through
Kansas City or Denver, and on this
account the public patronized the 9th
er roads to a great extent and went
through these two places.
The train will be scheduled to leave
Kansas City about 2 o'clock in the
morning.

First--Vltal Point In the Case
--AlIege ThIrty-slx
Offences.

Chicago, Mar. 3.-Testlmony In the
re.trial Of the case against the Stand
ard Oil company Of Indiana began late
Tuesday afternoon before Judge An
derson. Frederick 8. Hollands, fcra
erly chief rate clerk Of the Chicago
& Alton railroad. was the first VII
ness. He testified In regard to the
methods used in the office OF the com
pany in making rates and in mailing
copies Of the tariff to shippers. It j.
the contention Of the government tna'
the published lawful rate on oil pc
tween certain points over the chi
cago & Alton was IS cents while the
oil company only paid six cents. As
sistant District Attorney Wilkerson
attempted to introduce In evidence
the tariff sheet showing an ID cent
rate between Chicago and East st
Louis. Upon objections being oner-
ed by the defense Judge Anderson
ruled that the tariff could not be pre-
scented until the government had
shown that 1t was the rate published
and filed with the interstate commerce
commission. The court said that this
was the vital point in the case. the
government declared that proof OF It's
publication would be presented later.
Attorney John 8. Miller for the DE-
Tense, said that the officials OF the oil
company did not know anything about
the Is cent rate, that they simply took
advantage Of the lowest possible rate

Mr.. Miller, ITO find verdict based q

Judge Anderson earlier in the Gay
formally sustained the motion Of the
defense that the government proceed
to trial on the theory that there were
SO alleged offenses.

SCRIPTURES SHOULD BE A REG
ULAR TEXT BOOK.
Ministerial Association for Religious
Teaching in Schools.

Ministerial Association for Religious
Teaching in Schools.
Religious education and the public
school is the great American problem,
according to the conclusion reached
By the Ministerial Association at yes
terday's meeting. The place OF re-
liglon In education cannot be ignored
without doing violence to the ulti-
mate purpose of education. There
can be no true education without re-
7igion, therefore provision should be
made for 1t in the public school. Our
school authorities require that all
secular instruction be given in the
most scientific and effective manner
while the subjec. Of highest import
ance, religion, and Its text book, the
Bible, Is almost wholly ignored.
In the paper presented at the meet
ing by DR.. F. s. Blayney a strong plea
was made for the restoration Of the
Bible to its original and rightful
place in the school room. The Bible
was originally the leading text book
in the colonial school system, and
present day methods will never be
adequate until It Is restored to that
place. The Bible Is q standard text
book on English, ethics, morals and
religion. It covers the whole field
Of literature, and as a text book can
have no equal. 1t is not In itself
sectarian, UNCONVENTIONAL, )iturgical
or creedal. Any objection to It's use
must arise from unfortunate teaching
or prejudice. The greatest difficulty
encountered is to secure some proper
method Of teaching 1t. Who Is to
teach it SO as TO get benefit and avoid
complaint? And how shall 1t be re-
stored so as to secure the best ad-
vantage and obvlate conflict?
In answer to the foregoing ques-
tons the association passed the iol-
lowing resolution: Resolved, that
we are in favor Of restoring the Bible
as q text book to the public school,
and Of having 1t taught by a special
teacher, who shall have passed q suit
able examination, and who possesses
moral, literary and historical quail
ncations."
This ls the first gun in a campaign
which the preachers propose to carry
up to the annual meetings of the va
rlous denominations for discussion
and action, and then on to the lesis-
ture.
