+. d. Simms and son of near
Santa Fe brought l65 big water
melons to Mexico one day last
week but could find no sale for
them. They finally disposed of
the load for $500. That looks
discouraging. If they had had

the melons on the market earlier

is worth while in this life.
No compounder of patent
medicine ever talked more
strongly of his mixture ms n

in Speaking of his doctrine. Mr..
McClarv prescribed it for most
Of the ills 10 which human flesh
is heir. from loss i'm flesh TO in

said that q large and we'll pro-
nortioned dose of good sensi-
BILE mirth of n hearty nature

often as possible would cure a
man of almost any disease.
He said it was better 'hau now

would help Il man make sue

straighten mp the stopped shout
ders of age and take the wrin-
kles off people's foreheads.
He said that God made us
beautiful or not, but that we
were responsible for the eX-

He said that he believed in
the doctrine of the control OF
mind over matter, that It wae
possible to be either sick on

a certain physician who though
he was going to die. He called

wanted her to promise him she
would not marry again. Be

husband what an unreasonable
request that was, how she was
young. With tears trickIinG
down her cheeks, however. she
assured her husband she would
be more careful the next time
in her selection of a husband
The physician went to his work
the next morning. He told al
so of the woman, who enjoyed
poor health and was always go

her husband for the forfeit
time of her belief that she would
soon be with the angels. As
last request she asked that h'

thought certain she would make
an ideal wife and fine mOthe'

said all right. He even reluc
family admitted that he and the
hired girl had been talkine

die. Instead she lived to SET
to it that the husband did no
marry Maggie.
Throughout his lecture Mr.
McClary introduced a grea'

He spoke Of the gospel o.

Some of his pithy sayings
were as follows.

Who's Who In Norfolk

1866. Here he attended a German
Lutheran parochial school and a pub
lie school until 1870, when he entered
a printing office and worked at the
printing business three years. In Sep.
TENDER, 1873, he enrolled at Concordia
college, St. Louis, Mo. The following
year he entered Concordia seminary
Springfield, ILL.,. from which institution
he graduated in June 1873, and en-
tered the ministry Of the German
Evangelical Lutheran synod OF Mis-.
souri,, Ohio and other states, OF which
he is still member.
His first charge was near Lyons,
Burt county, Neb., which he served as
pastor and parochial school teacher
from September, 1873, until March,
1881. Then he followed call to Serb.
ner, Neb. where he worked seven and
half years, serving two congrega
tions and two preaching stations.
After a repeated call he moved to
Norfolk in September, 1888, and took
charge of Christ Lutheran church
which he has served without Interrupt
tion up TO the present, twenty-five
years and seven months. While his
church was quite small twenty-five
years ago, it grew with the city, the

PASS SUNDAY BASEBALL BILL.
Golf, Tennis and Baseball Permitted.
Governor May Veto.

Lincoln, March 80. - The Sunday
baseball bill passed the house after
bitter fight and attempts to amend 1t
to exclude small towns from its bene-
fits.
The amendments which came from
the friends of the bill were designed
to meet the objections OF Governor
Aldrich, who Is supposed to have de-
clared himself as quite opposed to
Sunday baseball on general principles
and willing to sign the bill only with a
clause which would prevent Sabbath
games in towns smaller than 1000
The members from small towns,
however, were entirely unwilling to
exclude themselves from the bill and
voted down an amendment to exclude
towns of less than 5000 and to ex-
clude villages less than 1000.
AS the bill stands now, lawn tennis,
golf and baseball are not crimes, even
if they are played on Sunday. 1t is
considered quite probable that the
governor will refuse to sign. He has
been besieged by representatives OF
| both sides and has refused to commit
himself to either. 1t is question OF
practical politics. Pressure has beer
brought from every quarter. II he
does refuse to sign it there seems tC
be little chance that it can be passed
over his veto in either house, as there
is scarcely more than bare majority
backing il.

italian camorrist Sticks to Details of
His Story.

cross-examined at today'S sitting of
the court of the assizes, which is try.
ing thirty-six Camorrists for the muir
der OF their treacherous associates,
Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife.
Most of the questions asked by Pres.
ident Bianchi and the lawyers of the
defense concerned matters of second
airy importance and were intended to
impeach the informer. The latter
stood the ordeal very well, making
many admissions concerning his own
evil career, but clinging tenaciously
to the story of Camorrist crimes which
he originally told to the police spy,
Marshal Capozzuti, and later submit
ted in the form of an affidavit to the
court
Lawyer Tore of counsel for the de-
| Tense today received an anonymous
letter which the writer attempted to
prove what the writer attempted to
prove what has been before asserted
| by other prisoners, that the carabi-
| neerS VINO ran DOWN Cne CamOTTlStS
had manufactured the Cuoccolo ring
evidence. According to the police the
ring had been taken from the hand OF
Cuoccolo to be sent to Luigo Arena in
proof of the death of the man whom
Arena had denounced as a traitor to
the Camorrists. The carabineers swore
that they found the ring at the home
of a woman companion OF the assas
sins.
AS proof that this evidence was fab
ricated, the writer Of the letter states
that Littillo, a carabineer Of the legion
OF Naples, being offended, boxed the
ears Of his superior officer, whereupor
instead of being courtmartialed, hi
was sent to a hospital, as he hat
threatened that il he were punished
he would reveal the duplicity of thu
officers Of the legion. Subsequently
the latter states, Littiello was declared
insane and removed from the army.
