their well is located in one of the

the prophet of Shiloh has been con
victed is fine of not less than $4,000
or Imprisonment for not more than ter

passing Of sentence upon him. He de
clares he has made ell arrangements
whereby the work of his community
at Shiloh will go on in case he is ode

Judge Clarence Hale will mete out
punishment to the discredited relig
ionist. The modern Elijah declares
that he has been on trial before two
tribunals-one of God and one Of man
and that he has received limitations
that he has been found guiltless by
the celestial court. Whatever the sen.
tence, he asys, he does not fear the
earthly verdict.

But We All Know Where He Is on the
Liquor Question.

Liquor SueStIon.
The Waxahachie Light hands this
one to a senatorial candidate:
"Mr. VOTERS is willing for the man
who gets plurality in the primary to
walk off with the goods. How about
the question of district instructions
about which he and his clan talked
so loudly during the fight for submis-
sion?"
Mr. VOTERS Is a great riddle. For
instance, Mr.. VOTERS proclaims un-
dying allegiance to the local majority.
and yet at the Fort Worth convention
he voted to GUST the two men selected
by the Waco district to go to Denver.
Mr. VOTERS made a great speech
il behalf of personal liberty before
the Texas legislature, and yet he now
declares that the local majority can
direct individual conduct.
Mr.. Wolters is willing to trust either
majority of plurality in the primaries
and yet he combats the idea Of direct
legislation.
Mr.. VOTERS says he doesn't believe
in a protective tariff, and yet we find
him insisting on protection for Texas
products.
If Mr.. VOTERS was in the senate at
Washington, his constituents would
constantly be in doubt as to whether
he was going in or coming out
