A great deal OF science is only theory

Rev. John Clark Hill, of Springfield,

New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
THE most exact science" he con-

a cource OF wonder to men, aud # is not
strange that men should have worshiped
it. In fact, light is used throughout the
Scriptures to typify religion. God him

His face is said TO be ss radiant as the

Mans character cannot be nodded

John Callahan, recluse, died some
time after midnight IN his little house
down at goo First street southeast, just
as quietly and as much alone as he
had lived during the last few years Of
his existence
There wasn't anyone there to smooth
the dying mans pillow or hear his last

is probable that the death of John
Callahan would not have been known
for days.
Callahan was a tinsmith and well
known. The last person who saw him
was a policeman who patrols near the
Callahan house. One Of Galatians rare
excursions among men was on Friday,

Residents of Rival Town Are Blamed For Third
Attempt to Burn Nowata-Fight For County
Seat the Cause

OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 22.-Incen-
diaries made an attempt TO burn the
town OF Nowata, Okla, last night. This
is the third time attempts TO destroy
the town EaVe been made within the
past three weeks. AS a result. the
Tharaves Hotel. together with several
buildings, was burned. and the destruc-
tion Of the town narrowly averted.
The loss is estimated at $500. Owing
10 the fact that this IS the third sue
cessive Saturday night that buildings
In Nowata have been fred. and the
further fact that NowatR county has
recently been in the throes of a heated
county seat campaign, as a result of
which NoWata won over Delaware, eX-
citement is at a high pitch.

Men suspected OF the crime were seen
running from the building soon after the
flames were discovered ana officers
chased them into the darkness of the

They had poured coal oil and gaso-

One of the descriptive numbers
given by the Scenic City band at its
concert April 21st, entitled In the
Clock Store" consists Of the follow
ing synopsis: The apprentice opens
the store in the morning and winds
up the different clocks. the ticking
of which is illustrated by the music,
which develops into a musical imi-
tation of clock store. The cuckoo
clock strikes the hour, after which
the deep sound of another clock in
harmony with the music. The APP
prentice then whistles little tune.
After this the clock that contains
the chimes gradually runs down and
stops. The boy winds it up again.
and then the miniature chimes of
the Scotch cathedral are heard in
the distance. Now that all the
clocks are in running order the ap-
prentice looks after his other work
and we leave the clock store. Tick

BOY LOST AND FOUND
Robert Dubois Keeps Parents in Sus-
pense by Hiding in Church.

Redwood Falls was in a condition
of suspense from Tuesday of last
week till Thursday night, over a
missing boy. Robert Dubois, the
TO year old son Of Rev. Dubois, was
missing at his home Monday morn
ing, but his penchant for such esca-
pades was so confirmed that the
family expected to find him in the
neighborhood after diligent search,
but this time the boy surpassed all
former efforts in eluding them. The
surrounding country was notified
by phone messages after the first
days absence. but to no avail. The
boy had taken basket of provisions
and was at first thought to be in
hiding somewhere in the city. but
his continued hiding discouraged
the most hopeful. Thursday night
the boy was found in hiding in the
furnace room Of the church, he
having managed to keep out of
sight during previous searches made
by his father in the church base
ment. Janitor Tiffany mentioned
to Frank Parrish that he had missed
lamp which he left on the church
dining room table that afternoon,
and Mr.. Parrish made up his mind
to act on the clue and make another
hunt through the lower regions
with lantern. He was rewarded
finally by finding the boy near the
furnace, grimy from his association
with the coal bin.
Readers of this paper will recall
the fact that Robert led on d boy
hunt last fall. since which he has
been closely watched, but this time
made his escape in the early morn
ing hours. DR.. Dubois is said to
be considering the matter Of putting
his boy in charge of a specialist for
treatment, in the hope of thorough
ly eradicating his morbid tendencies
and restoring him to health of body
and mind. They left for the cities
yesterday.
