ness sake for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. Matt. v:l0.
Verses l7-18-If a child of GOO
finds himself in prison which is the
better thing to do; fret and worry

II good man is in prison is that

CAN an enemy, or circumstances, or
his ignorance, or any other power,

tian in a position, where his highest
interests are not being served to the
utmost possible? CThls question
must be answered in writing by mem
bers Of the club.
Verse l9-By what method did God
release the Apostles from prlsonY
Does God in these days ever adopt
similar methods, to release his SER
wants from prison, and did he always
adopt that miraculous method in
those days? See case of Jesus and
John the Baptist.
May a Christian in prison to-day,
be absolutely sure of his release, if
that is necessary for the accomplish
ment of his work?
Verses 2O-2l-Does God now give us
direct, and specific, instructions as to
our duty, when that is necessary?
Should a Christian always testify
in Gods Temple when he has the
opportunity; or should he wait for
special Instructions from God?
Verses 22-25-ls it possible that

LOSES ON APPEAL
Court AttiIIns Verdict Of Guilty
in Walsh Case.
&,
AGED BANKER CONTINUES FIGHT
Released on Bond Pending Mo-
ton for a RehearinG.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-John r. Walsh,
convicted of misapplication of the
funds of the Chicago National bank,
must serve a sentence of five years
Imprisonment imposed upon him by
he trial jury unless the supreme court
dpsets affirmation of a verdict OF
guilty handed down by the United
States circuit court Of appeals here.
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh in their APP
peal laid the greatest stress on what
they alleged was a lack of criminal
intent on the part of the defendant.
In the very lengthy brief which they
filed much law was quoted to show
that the convicted banker used the
funds of the bank in what he consid-
cred a legitimate manner.
The opinion of the court of appeals,
written by Judge Humphrey and
handed down by Judge Grosscup, is
brief and is confined almost wholly to
the question Of criminal intention.
Allegations that Juror Palmer was
unduly Influenced are dismissed with
a word and but little more is said in
eliminating allegations OF inconsist-
ency and repugnancy.
Walsh Remains at Liberty.
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh have thirty
days in which to file application for a
rehearing by the court Of appeals.
Meanwhile he will be at liberty under
his present bonds Of $50, 600.
The three Walsh banksthe Chi
cage National, the Equitable Trust
comp and the Home Savings bank
were closed by the comptroller Of
the currency Dec. Is, 1905, nearly five
years ago. At that time Walsh not
only owned these Institutions and the
Chicago Chronicle, but owned all or
nearly all of the stock of q score of
railroad and industrial concerns.
According to the brief of the gov
eminent or the appeal all Of these
companies were bankrupt, or on the
verge of it when secured by Walsh

were unmarketable and practically

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The result of the county local
option election held in this county
last Friday attracted the keenest
interest throughout the state. The
Saturday and Sunday issues of the
state press were full of editorial
comment on the surprising result
Of the election. These comments
are extremely interesting Some
are wise-some bordering on the
absurd. For the benefit of it's
readers the Palladium, on page
eight of this issue prints editorials
on the subject of the Wayne elec-
ton. clipped from fourteen news
papers in various sections of the
state. One newspaper prides itself
on the fact that it was the first
paper in its locality to inform its
anxious readers, by bulletin SER
vice. on the outcome OF the local
election. An Indianapolis newspa-
per man states that last Friday ey-
ening hundreds of people thronged
about an Indianapoliss newspaper
office to hear the returns of the
Wayne election.

Wade's Statement.

Few local ministers took occasion to
refer to the county local option fight
from their pulpits yesterday. Some of
the mipiaters did not touch upon the
question: In, any manner while others
spoke of it as an aside from their reg

upon the question.
Rev. T. J. Graham of the First Pres

on Behold l stand at the door and

the big person in Wayne county He
also said that the ministers have ap-
parently little to in this city.
Censures Church Men.
Probably his most severe censure
was made concerning members of his
own congregation when he declared
There were plenty OF people who sat
upon the front seat at the time of the
selection of a platform but it was hard
to get these same men to take front
seats on moral ISSUE" He declared
that the church people "fell down

What Rev. Wade Said.
In the preliminary remarks to his
sermon in the morning Rev. r. j.
Wade of the First NJ. E. church. stated
he was glad he took part in the fight
and that if there was to be another
fight tomorrow he would take part in
it. He stated he had nothing to regret
for his share of the work. He declared
that the organization regretted no ac-
tion of itself, and felt that it had done
nothing unclean and was not in the
least conscience stricken He thanked
those who had taken so earnest part
in the fight. He also referred to the
story of member of his congregation

contributions RECEIVED
REPORT is DENIED THAT CON-
MlTTEE ACCEPTED FINANCIAL
AID FROM THE STATE ANTI
SALOON ORGANIZATION.

The expense Of the Wayne county To-
cal option organization it's fight to-
tailed approximately $500 and it has
received sufficient funds in the way OF
contributions, both personal and those
taken up in the churches to meet all
obligations The expense was princi-
pally for newspaper advertising. liter
ature distributed, and speakers
brought to thecity. What the organ
ization vigorously denies is that the
Anti-Saloon league of Indiana took
any part in financing the local temper
ance fight.
Did Not Want Barney.
Although Rev Barney one .of the
state superintendents of the league.
made several visits to this city, the
offers of the league for financial sup
port were turned down. The local Or
ganization also worked entirely apart
from the state organization in another
respect and that was in a legal way.
State Attorney Minton who had re-
Quested to assist the prosecution in
the Jones case was refused the privi-
lege. The Jones case in which the
Jury twice disagreed, did much to
change the sentiment of the public
from dry to wet it is generally
stated.
The organization had much donated
to it during the campaign by local
parties in a way other than financially.
For instance the carriages used by the
organization on Friday were donated
by individuals The organization did
not have much expenses in respect to
paid poll workers. as all contributed
their time and work freely.
