MURDER NEAR PALESTINE
George Tyner Killed by Alfred Hill Because He Insinuates that Hill
 Was Liar-Hill in Jail.

Last Saturday morning about ten o'clock, on the GoSsett place, six miles west Of Palestine, George Tyner, an old white man, was killed by Alfred Hillr over an altercation in which Hill insinuated that Tyner had been in- toxicated at church the Sunday pre- yious, elubbed shotgun being used by Hill with murderous effect.
 Hill made his escape, but was cap tured Sunday afternoon at DeVall's Bluff by the city marshal and sheriff of Prairie county. Sheriff Williams of this county went over to Des Arc, where the prisoner had been taken Sunday, and brought him here and lodged him in jail Tuesday morning.
 An inquest was held over the body Of Tyner Sunday morning by Squire Cayanaugh, u.e jury bringing in a verdict of murder in the first degree against Hill.
 The preliminary hearing Is set for this afternoon at o'clock at the courthouse here, Squire Cayanaugh coming over to preside.
 From the testimony brought out in the inquest Sunday, it appears that Tyner and Hill were both tenants on the Gossett place, were at the well at the house last Saturday morning fill ing a water keg. Mrs Gossett, who owns the place, was standing near, and 1t is said that Tyner remarked to her that he had had that keg full of wine the Sunday before, and that he had taken q couple of drinks, but was not drunk, as had been reported Hill IS then quoted as saying, that if lie had taken a couple of drinks, he'd have been ashamed to own 1t. Tyner responded by saying that "angone who says l was drunk is liar" Hill then grabbed his shotgun and hit the old man across the face, knocking him down, and then struck him again across the head as he lay on the ground, fracturing his skull and inflicting in- juries from which he died that night.
 It was brought out at the inquest that there had been some bad feeling between the men since early in the spring, arising over some disagreement over crops and lands which they had rented.

There is comfort in the knowledge SO often expressed, that Dr. Kiimer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. fulfills almost every wish in correcting rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. Corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and oyercomes that unpleasant ne- cessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest be

to cease abusing our confidence?
How long is that passion of yours
still to mislead us? When is there
to be an end of that boldness? Does
not your conscience pain you? You
teach that it is our duty as Chris
tians to lend helping hand to our
Chinese brothers, who are in the
deep ditch of heathenism, who are
STEPPED in ignorance, vice and crime,
who have no idea of civilization, and
who have no true God to worship.
May God have mercy on them to save
them from the worship of gold. But
the Chinese are not so low in civili-
zation as you might believe To
prove this / will quote from DR.. D.
L. Anderson, Soochow, China On
page III you will find this state
ment:
Now, if you will take China, her
ideas in this matter are nearer to
those of the Son of God than ours.
She has always abhorred physical
force, and it has been her rule for
ages past in dealing with men to ap-
peal to their intellectual and moral
faculties, not to mere physical force.
Hating war, having a contempt even
for her own military officials, with
out an army in the past such as we
would call an army-there have
been great congregations of men,
but not soldiers-yet China stands
today great empire Do you re-
member that he said: Blessed are
the meek: for they shall inherit the
earth?' | think that the most strik-
ing fulfllment of those words that
we have on earth today is the Chi
nese people. They have attained to
their present position, have occupied
so large a portion of the territory of
the earth, not by the sword, but SIM
ply by the strength and superiority
of their civilization. China did not
grow by the sword, and I am conf
dent that China never will be de-
stroyed by the sword. There is not
power enough in the mere physical
forces of the earth to destroy her.
So China stands, today, strong in her
ancient civilization, antedating that
or all other nations #of the earth;
strong in the truth that she has held,
and is still holding; strong in her
vast territories, with her varied eli
mate, rich in agricultural and min
eral products; strong in her i'm
mense population, persistent, la
borious, economical-and unwar-
like"
DR.. Anderson should know what
the condition of China is. He has
been there for several years, and is
with the Soochow University An
university which was established by
us (who are inferior to the Chinese,
according to the Doctor) for the pur-
pose of educating the Chinese to our
ways
Do the Chinese want our ways?
If so, they can send representatives
to learn our civilization, and then
the representatives can teach their
own people. Why should we spend
millions in educating them?
Are they calling for the Gospel?
! will answer by quoting from Mr..
William T. Ellis, Philadelphia:
Il can not come to you and say
that China wants the gOSDel: I do

Foreign Missions. Until recently /
was an ardent supporter of Foreign
Missions. I so fully trusted the
teachers of Gods way" that when
the collector came around I would
give the full assessment never stop
ping to investigate the cause; only
thinking that I was just helping to
send or preach the Gospel to every
creature" Since reading your first
article on the subject, I have made
close study of what we are Doing
for the Heathen,' and find it differ
ent from what it seems to be. When
I learned from you that we are pay
ing annually $21,719,7O7 to the
cause, and find that the statistics
corrOborate your statement, | know
that there is something doing some
way. One of the parsons will tell
us that we spend $900,000,0O0 per
year for tObaccO-another need for
more work at home-but I ask any
parson to tell how much the Chi
nese spend for opium?
I was DESTROYS of learning where
this enormous sum goes, so I went
to a pastor thinking l would secure
the desired information. During
our talk the conversation drifted to
Gods plan of missions, but we could
not agree on this part; l could un-
derstand the commission only in this
way: That God said, eco We into all
the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature" Results-"He that
believes and is baptised shall be
saved, but he that believes not shall
be damned" | could not under
stand why we were to educate the
heather before converting them. But
the pastor, who is perfectly sincere
in his work, said that he was afraid
| did not understand and that he
would let me have book that would
explain the work. I thanked him
for the chance of learning all | could
by reading the book. 1t was a col
lection of speeches, or addresses, de-
livered at Chattanooga, Tenn, April
21-23, 1908, by the members of the
Laymen's Missionary Movement of
the M. e. G. S. In perusing this book
| find on page 16 this resolution,
which was passed by the Conference:
Section 3. THAT the pastors be
urged to preach the gospel of money;
and, to the end that they be I'M
hampered in so doing, we recon-
mend that the stewards, wherever
practicable, relieve our pastors of
talking all collections
Mr.. Watson, is it possible that the
followers of the lowly Nazarene are
to cease preaching the Gospel of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and
preach the gospel of money? Can
it be that we have reached the point
where we are willing to reject our
God and bow to the God of Gold?"
Would not this be idolatry in it's
most gross meaning? Can we find
anywhere in the teachings of Jesus
where he said that we should wor-
ship gold and be Indifferent to the

STOCK PERISH IN FIRE:
LOSS Is HEAVY ONE
Barns on Stewart Farm
Destroyed.

A destructive fire early last night
swept away the large stockade and
barns on the Stewart place. four
miles east of Americus and occupied
under lease by Mr., A A. Forrest, who
is the heaviest loser by the devouripg
flames.
Seven fine mules and all of his hogs,
probably twenty or thirty, were burn
ed in the locked barn.
Four hundred bushels corn, 500
bundles fodder, tons of hay, wagons,
harness, plows and all farming uten-
sils stored in the barn were destroyed.
Mr.. Forrest had just left the stock
ade. having looked after the feeding
of his mules for the night, but before
reaching his residence the barn burst
into flame. 1t was then too late to re-
lease the terrified animals within
Mr. FORESTS loss is complete, as he
had no insurance. There was a small
amount upon the building. The total
loss is probably $4,000 or 5000.

pany passed today to the American

long step was taken toward the merg-
ing of the telephone and telegraph
companies into corporation with a
capitalization of nearly $1,000,000, 900
Announcement of requirement of the
Western Union, for years know as a
Gould property, by the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company came
today from Boston. The requirement
of the Western Union and the recent
absorption of various District Bell

of the country indicates a large in
crease in present capitalization of the
parent company, the American -
