The killing of Miss Eva Shapiro by
an automobile in this city Sunday
night was an awful affair which de-
mands a thorough investigation at the
hands of the legal authorities of the

ing in society may be.
There is talk of bouncing Mr.. FL
we'll from the presidency Of the board
of education The members should
have elected an experienced man In

on the school board to the infinite de-
light Of the nauseated public.
Nine Rose d'Erina, the distin-

continue to make this city their head
quarters.
DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman, the evangc-
list, who has returned to Minneapolis
after tour of the world, says that
within generation Japan will hc
Christianized. BY whom? BY men
like Gypsy" Smith and DR.. Chapman,
who have no fixed religious belief a:l1
cannot make an act of faith? Tho
Japs will never be converted by creed
less missionaries and the King James
Bible. Peripatetic preachers Of the
sensational order will never Christian
ize the heathens Of the Orient or tbs
heathens at home. --.., =. ...., 49,.

Co., wholesale dealers in cigars, are
attempting to force the firm through
bankruptcy, but are meeting with
strenuous opposition on the part of
Mr.. Ahern, who claims he is perfectly
solvent and can meet his obligations
in full. He attributes the trouble to a
bit of sharp practice on the part of
the plaintiffs in the action, and those
who have known Mr.. Ahern for more
than Is years in this city are inclined
to side with him in the controversy.
The matter will come up again for
trial in the federal court next Mon
day.
