LINCOLN DAY 0BSERvANCES
Some Notable Gatherings to he Held
I'm Various Parts of the
Country,

NEW YORK, Feb. f-The progress at
Washington of the bill to make February
IL a national holiday has stimulated interest
in the centenary anniversary of Lincoln's
birth. which will be observed next Friday
throughout the country. Strictly speaking
there can be no national holiday, for in
this matter states enact their own constitu-
tions. Eight states have made February
IL holiday, but the observance this year
will not be limited to these states In many
cities and towns churches, schools and
societies will make much of the day, and
some legislatures will officially recognize
it, The most notable gatherings on that
day will be at Hodgenvile, KY, where
President Roosevelt will lay the corner
stone of a memorial hall on the old "IAn-
coin farm" At Springfield, ILL.,, there will
be addresses by Ambassador Bryce and
Ambassador Jusserand. President-elect
Taft will speak at a banquet at New Or
leans, and Vice-president Sherman will

merce at Pittsburg. Senator Lodge will

MANY ARRESTS IN RoSEN CASE
NO Definite Clue to Connect Any
of Them with Her
Murder.

OTTUMWA, Ia, Feb. 7.-Twelve men
have been arrested in connection with the
murder OF Miss Clara Rosen, who was
found yesterday short distance from her
home with her skull crushed. Ten were
questioned here today, and two in Oska-
loosa.
The police say that of this number, Joseph
Hopkins. negro government meat in
spector, is the principal suspect. He did
not work Saturday, and the detectives who
questioned him declare he did not give a
satisfactory account of his movements.
Miss Rosen had reported to her employer.
il Is said, that a negro had followed her a
number of times and had annoyed her by
staring Hopkins will be held pending de-
velopments, and an effort will be made to
find the dead girls rings and brooch, stolen
after the murder.
None of those detained as suspects could
have been Tilted suitors of Miss Rosen and
this tends to weaken the theory that one
of the young woman's former admirers
killed her. A portion of the police, how
ever, declare this latter theory Is the correct
one, and promise sensational developments.
Witnesses declared at the coroners in
quest today that they saw a man Friday
night in the vicinity of the crime, but could
not tell whether or not he was a negro.
He was seen hurriedly crossing to the oppo-
site side of the street to keep from being
recognized

LINCOLN LIVES IN HEARTS
Criticized by Preacher for Not join
ing the Church.

Eulogizing Lincoln, whose memory would
live forever In the hearts of his country
men, Rev. j. Narver Gortner criticised the
martyred emancipator for not having
joined some church at the McCabe Metho-
dist, Fortieth and Farnam streets, Sunday
morning. He said:
Text-"When he stood among the people,
he was higher than any of the people from
his shoulders and upward" list SAM 1923.
saul, the son of Kish, is the person who
is here spoken Of He was a splendid
specimen of physical humanity. He was
fitted physically intellectually and morally
to occupy the throne of Israel but it was
hi physical fitness that appealed to the
people in that semi -barbarous age. 1t was
his physical superiority to all the others
that elected the enthusiastic approval of
the divine choice at the time of his cor
onation.
"A century ago one of Americas most
distinguished sons was born. His name
was Abraham Lincoln, AT a time when
the country was upon the verge of being
rent asunder ne was elevated to the high
est office within the gift of the American
people. 1t was not his physical fitness for
the presidential chair that impressed the
people; 1t was his intellectual and moral
fitness. Lincoln impressed the world as a
man who possessed those qualities of in
tellect and heart, those qualities of char
acter that make him stand out as a giant
among his contemporaries, as a peer among
the great ones of earth. and his memory
will be cherished and his fame viii endure
until the earth shall dissolve and the stars
shall vanish and the sun shall fade.
what were some of the commendable
elements in the character of this great
and good man?
"One of the elements of his character
was honesty. Sincerity and sympathy were
elements in his character that endeared
him to the people. And ne was fearless.
When he knew that he was right he per-
sisted In his course, even tho 1t sometimes
seemed that the whole world was against
him. Another element was perseverance,.
Without this element what could Lincoln,
with the other elements that 1 have men
toned. have Accomplished
"One Of the reasons why Satan achieves
such success in the world, il his achieve
ments may be called successes. is because
he is persevering. In a good character
perseverance is one Of the greatest among
the virtues.
Lincoln had firm and unflinehing be-
lief in God. He was a student Of the
Bible. He was man OF prayer. During
the dark days OF the great struggle that
so sorely tried the hearts Of men, Abraham
Lincoln learned to rely upon the strength
that comes from God. He prayed for the
ultimate success OF the cause in which his
soul was interested. and he believed that
God would hear and answer. And God
did. The union was saved in answer to
Lincoln's prayers.
The great mistake OF Lincoln's life was
that he never identified himself with any
branch OF the Christian church. II every
Christian were to do as Lincoln did In this
respect there would be no church. A ma

Yankton tribe of Sioux Indians, has been
lodged in the Sioux Falls penitentiary to

white man. who was professional horse
dealer, and, with his wife. started to drive
the animal to his home on the reservation.
When he had proceeded about a mile the
animal lay down in the road and died.

for his money, went back to the town
