Memorial Dav for Travellers.

Annual memorial services of the
United Commercial Travellers We're
held Sunday morning in Norfolk at
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
where Rev. J. w. Kirkpatrick, the pas
tor delivered a strong sermon to a
half hundred travelling statesmen, who
attended in a body A large congre-
cation, aside from the L. C. T. men,
listened to the sermon.
The names of deceased members of
the order were read by the secretary
and the president deposited lily in
jar. and with fitting words commend
ed the departed ones to the care of
the All-Wise Ruler of the World.
Mrs. J. f. Cooper rendered a very
fitting solo, which was well received
and added greatly to the success OF
the service.
Rev. J. W. Kirkpatrick took for his
theme, What Constitutes a Success.
full Life He said in part;
No man in his right mind wishes to
be known as failure. To be pointed
out as one who makes good is one OF
the most common ambitions of men,
1t would be well if this desire was
universal. For such desire is the
key to the worlds progress. When
We cease to desire to succeed stagna'
ton and death follow.
But 1t may be we'll for us to ask a
few questions for consideration before
we proceed farther. What is success?
Has it any moral significance? What
are the elements that make up a sue
cessful life? We are told that a ia
vorable termination Of anything at
| tempted is success. That man sue
ceeds when he achieves what he aims
at Marconi achieved success in wire
less telegraphy. The Wright brothers
| achieved success in producing theil
| flying machine.
1t is clear that success as here de
fined and illustrated may apply to thai
which is evil as well as to that which
is good. A man may be a successful
robber, successful gambler, a sue
cessful liar or murderer. so to say
that a man is a success Is, after all
to say nothing as to his moral charac
ter. Unfortunately some men have
unworthy ends or aims in life, and t
succeed in this case is only to hasteI
their ruin.
1t is, therefore, evident that success
as thus defined has no real ethica
value, no moral worth. And we mus
seek for some further definition o
success.
The Success magazine, being severe
ly criticized some years ago for ii
clarifying of success regardless of it
moral barrenness, offered reward
for a definition of what constitutes

BOMBS WE'RE EXPLODED.
One Man Killed, Three Wounded in a
Juarez Dance Hail.


FL Paso, Tex, April 3.-Francisco
Sonora, federal soldier, is dead and
three men are wounded as result of
the explosion of three bombs in Gallo
Diablo in Ciadad Juarez at midnight.
Unless an attack was being planned
on the jail and was thwarted by the
bombs exploding prematurely, the real
purpose of the explosion is ineXplic-
able.
The first explosion occurred in the
street in front of the La Wolfe dance
hall and as the jewellers ran out wo-
men shouted that two men on top of
a roof opposite the dance hall had
thrown bomb. A number OF special
policemen and soldiers who were in
the hall dashed into the building
where the men were supposed to be
and two bombs were hurled at the
mass as they got into Patton court.
The first bomb literally blew Fran.
cisco Sonora to pieces. The second
bomb wounded his companions. The
two bomb throwers escaped.
II is the theory of the federal au.
thorities that the bomb throwers were
making their way across the tops OF
roofs to hurl their bomb against the
walls Of the state prison, which is in
the same block as the building they
destroyed, and that they dropped a
bomb by accident
The city Jail rapidly filled with pris'
oners between the time of the eXplos'
ion and daylight, soldiers and police
/ forming a Gordon around the districts
All those in the dance hall and many
others in the street nearby were held
as witnesses until Mayor Murtinez
could make an examination.
During the day soldiers filled the
streets and the town bristled with the
military as much as on occasions
when the insurrectos were just outside
the city.
About noon a terrific wind storr
came up and blew the dust in such a
manner that the soldiers could see
scarcely across the street, This ad

Marshal at Ewing Throws WRESTLER

Ewing. Neb.. April Especial to
The News: One of the most interest
ing hnd hotly contested wrestling
matches ever pulled off at Ewing took
place at the opera house Saturday
night. Ed Downs of South Dakota,
heralded as a scientific wrestler went
to the mat in the space of about thirty
minutes at the hands of William
CoynC, marshal of Ewing. The wres.
tie was to be a one-hour contest I'm.
less sooner decided and Downs was to
throw Coyne and Clarence Thompson,
a we'll known athlete of Ewing. For
five minutes Coyne acted on the de
fensive, and then by careful maneu'
yer succeeded in hurting his opponent
across the mat and down. From this
on the WreStle was on in earnest. Dur
ing the balance of the contest Downs
by his quick and active movements
succeeded in getting full Nelson, a
hammerlock and a body hold, respec
lively, none of which seemed to avail
him anything. On the other hand
with grit coupled with an alertness
and tenacity equal to that exercised
by the canine species, Coyne succeed
ed at last in getting a heel and toe
hold. This brought the climax. Downs
was down and Coyne the favorite mar
shall of Ewing was the winner and the
champion of northeast Nebraska. Hay
Mcclure, president of the Ewing ath
letic club, refereed the bout and gave
entire satisfaction. All through the
contest Downs displayed a viciousness
not in keeping at all with man who
aspires to be a champion in the mani!
