RosENBLATT MAKES TROUBLE.
Mutual Life Must Send Ballots AL
Over World.

New York, June 5.-Sol Rosenblatt, a
Chicago lawyer, has put the Mutual
Life Insurance company to an expense
of 100000 by having himself nominated
for member of the board of trustees
All he had to do under the New YORK
state law. was to get his nomination
papers signed by 100 policy holders. His
success in this will make it necessary
to send ballots containing the admin
istration ticket and his opposition
ticket to all the 100000 policy holders
throughout the world.
The expense, great as it is, is not the
only difficulty confronting the officers
of the company. Experience in the con-
test of 1907 shows that many policy
holders take occasion to incloSe checks
for premiums or other correspondence
of various sorts in the return envelopes,
none Of which can be opened until the
date set for the counting of the ballots.
Mr.. Rosenblatt's contest is the first
the Mutual has had since that of the
international policy holders committee
in 1907. The expense for that contest
was estimated as high as $500,0 900.

SANDERS TO STUDENTS.
President of Washburn breaches Bac-
calaureate Sermon.

Washburn chapel was packed on the
| occasion of the baccalaureate service
in connection with the forty-sixth an
nual commencement of Washburn col
lege Sunday morning, and there was
| also large attendance in the after
noon when the Rev. William H. Buss
of Fremont, Neb., spoke at the
last vesper service of the season
President Frank K. Sanders, who de-
livered the baccalaureate sermon, urged
the outgoing students to consider some
of the good traits of Nehemiah. the
Biblical character.
Il crave for you who are soon to
graduate" said he. some very definite
and fairly engrossing objective which
will enlist your sympathies and give
you a sense of constructive participation
in the advancement of human interests.
EVeryone's prayer should be that OF
Nehemiah, Let me go to Judah that
1 may build.
"One of Nehemiah's characteristic
traits that gave him power with men
was his deepseated convictions regard
ing the relations of God with His peo-
pie and regarding his friendly helpful
ness.
Another source of Nehemiah's power
was that he held not his own pros
poets dear. His unselfshnesS gave him,
as it always does, hold upon the
people. The spirit Of altruism is a
spirit of power. The one who thinks
first of his fellowmen is the one who
sways their minds. The world admires
a really consecrated man or woman,
believes in them and follows their lead.
Many a brilliant career is bhghted by
its commercialism. No greater evil
could befall a member of this gradual
ing class than mis- being possessed by
a determination to advance his own in
terest at the expense of all others. Sucn
a purpose is not merely Sord1d ana un-
worthy; it is the destruction of all fne
ambitions.
"One last element in Nehemiah's eff
ficiency was that he set his heart on
accomplishing something speclhc. IL
may we'll be the petition of every large
minded man or woman of today that
they be granted a task enough to test
their powers, good enough to enlist
their whole moral nature great enough
to challenge their ambition and useful
enough to be of value to the world they
live in. Such opportunities abound for
those who are looking for them"

SHERIFF SAVES WIFE BEArE1s
Mob Formed to Punish Brutal Hus-
band When Officer Arrives.

Larned, Kan, June 5.-Arthur Hall,
a farmer living in the southeast part Of
Pawnee county near Mackville, was ar
rested and brought to Larned on a
charge of cruelty to his family. He
is charged with beating up his wife
in a terrible manner the day before his
arrest. The woman was telephoning
for help when her husband demolished
the phone. The neighbors on the tele-
phone line did not hear enough to know
where the call came from and did not
know of the woman's condition until
she afterward escaped through win
dow of the house in which her hus-
band had locked her up and made her
way to a neighbor's.
The neighbors were gathering with
the intention of dealing summary JUS
tice to Hall when Sheriff Winchester
arrived and arrested him.
Hall told the sheriff that his wife
was not at home and that he did not
know where she had gone, but after
starting for Larned the sheriff turned
and searched the house and found the
woman in bed. Her eyes were blacken-
ed and her arms and body were a mass
of bruises and abrasions. Her chest
was badly bruised where she said her
ing her. She was too weak to leave her
bed to come to Larned with the sheriff
but promised to come in with a neigh
Dor the next morning and appear
against him.
When the neighbor called for her
early the next morning it was found
that relatives had spirited her away
during the night. No trace Of the miss
ing woman has been found or of the
uncle who is supposed to have taken
her away. Hall has been released on $500
bond

BALL GAMES SALOONS EXCUSE
Sunday Amateur Games Will Be
Stopped if Possible.

Buffalo, n. Y, June 5.-C1aiming
that Sunday amateur baseball as
played in this city has become merely
a cover for the illegal sale of liquor,
the Civic league will move against all
games of this sort, beginning next
week.
THE league has not heretofore tried
to prevent Sunday baseball, because it
has been a healthful. harmless recre-
alton for men and boys who work hard
all the week." says statement from
the league attorney. But the leagues
agents report that these Sunday gam les
have degenerated into mere advertise
mnts and feeders for Sunday saloons.
and we are therefore obliged to take
notice. From our reports. it appears
that the neighboring saloons do q
more f1ourishing business than the ball
fields on Sunday"

them a 2pacific penetration OF Tri-

subjects have been much mistreat-

The main for the wal seem
to be q desire on the part OF Italy

Familiar to some Of the ancient writ
ers and credited with supernatural
powers. the astoria. or star gem. was
highly valued for the benefits sup
posed to be conferred on the wearer.
Its bright six rayed star. ever chang
ing and shifting with every play Of
light and especially shooting out its
flames in the direct sunlight, would
seem to be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to the supersti-
tious mind 1t could readily be believed
to embody some tutelar spirit.
The particular virtue attributed to
this gem was the comforting upon the
wearer Of "health and good fortune
when worn as an amulet, and to those
fortunate to be born in the month of
April. with which the stone was asso-
ciated or represented, the wearer was
insured from all evil.
