BY THE EVANGELIST

Evangelist Hills, last night at the
Baptist church, gave "a character
sketch of an old time politician" as
the subject of his sermon, and gave
a most wonderful description OF
Zaccheus, the taxgatherer.
DIR. Hills proved himself to be a
master in the sketching of Bible
character. He said: zone of the
most interesting AMI fascinating
studies is the study of Bible charac-
tiers. I have studied all ne charac.
tiers in the Bible and, it seems to me,
that the most peculiar one of all is
this man Zaccheus whom we have for
our study tonight
He then pal hir', tribute to the
Jewish people, saying that he while
in Chicago, had worked for both Eng
lish and Jewish merchants, and that
for progression and honest dealing he
preferred the Jew, and had the high
est regard for them.
Then he gave a description OF
Zaccheus as to "v' he was an6

Des Moines River Survey.

harrington NeWS-Republican
The board of reviewing engineers
has approved the inspection report of
Major Richie on the Des Moines river
and a survey has been ordered Ten
thousand dollars has been allotted
from available funds to begin this
work. 1t is expected that about 100000
will be needed to complete the sur
vey, and funds will be allotted as need
ed. It seems quite possible that the
Des Moines will be made navigable.
1T will cost from four to six million
dollars to make this Improvement, but
1t is thought the traffic will justify the
cost. The survey will be begun about
March Is, at the mouth of the stream
and will be carried from that point
north to Des Moines.
What with the Des Moines made
navigable and the big dam at Keokuk
finished Pennington will experience
one Of the greatest commercial revolu
tion in her history. Such enterprises
will bring to us opportunities never
before dreamed Of We are in line
TO do things in the near future and

ing company will present gift of $50.
In addition to this incentive to the

sent to the homo run hitters an order
for the tobacco on some local dealer.
The distance from the home plate

FEARING TO
PART, BOTH
SEEK DEATH

New York, Nov. 2.-Declarfng thai
no n on earth had the right to sep.
arate them and determined that even
In the grave they would be united,
Raoul Torrea, aged twenty-six, and
his bride of two weeks sought death
together In their apartment at POI West
Eighty-third street. The young bus
band cut his wife's wrist with a knife,
cut a deep cash In his own arm and
turned on the gas In their room. He
was dead when found, but the young
woman was still breathing. She was
taken to the J. Hood Wright hospital
and has a chance Of recovery.
L beg you to put us both In the same
grave" Torrea wrote to his friend, d.
Gomez Mafllepert, secretary to the
Mexican consul In this city. 1--WE are
married and We have been so happy
In life that no one had the right to at
tempt to separate us. No more have
they the right to part us in death.
AS our last wish, we again beg you to
put US both in the same grave"
The note Is explained by the oppo-
sition OF the girls family to her mar
rlage. She vas Elsie Won Mushiyeck
and until her marriage was employed
in a millinery shop on Third avenue
near Fffty-ninth street. 1t is said her
rather was a German nobleman. After !
his death the family had been impov- |
erished and the girl came to America
to earn her living. Recently a sister |
In Germany sent her money to go
home and the thought of their parting
Is believed to have caused them to de
eide to die together.
Ihe husband was a young Mexican, |
who had been employed as a stenogra-
pher by an importing broker In this
city. His family In the state of Vera
Cruz, Mexico, tent him large remit
tances.
Torrea and his wife were alive and
happy at, 8 o'clock in the morning. At
that hour they were seen at breakfast
by a maid In the house where they
lived. AT 1 o'clock dodgers smelled
gas and traced it to their rooms.
The maid then climbed out on the
escape and entered the room
through the window. She found Tor
rea and his wife In bed, locked In each
arms. Mrs. Torrea was uncon-
scious, but muttering. The room was
filled with gas, and blankets had been
over the door, and the cracks
were stuffed with paper. "
AT the hospital Mrs. Torrea recov- |
cred consciousness for a time. She
said she and her husband had decided
die and that he had cut an artery
In her arm, doing the same with his
own.
