ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Murderer Forgives His Daugh-
ter, Who Caused 1t ALL"
Dramatic Meeting in Prison Before an
Artists Death-Pivtures Of HIM
self On the GaiIoWs Painted
by Jan Ribarich.

Washington, Pa.-Jan Ribarich, an
Austrian, artist and thrice murderer,
who will be hanged here, was convert
ed in his cell by his daughter whom
he had vowed he would kill because
she was the "cause of it ALL" A visit
from his daughter, a prayer and the
singing of Nearer, My God, to Thee"
caused dramatic incident.
Ribarich, who had fitted his cell in
to a studio, for weeks past occupied
his time in painting pictures and D,e-
senting them to his friends and jail of-
ficials. He always spoke jokingly Of
the gallows and had persuaded the
sheriff to allow him to look at the gal
lows from window several hours
before the hanging was to take place.
Ribarich had painted many Of his
friends and had drawn sketch Of
himself dangling at the end Of rope
with his body half concealed through
the falling Of the trap.
Raba-ich shot and killed Michael No
yak, his wife and stepson, Stanjovi.
whom he blamed for harboring his
daughter. After his conviction, the
father said his only desire was to kill
his daughter before he died, as she
had disobeyed him.
The girl visited her father, accompa-
MED by guards. When he saw her he
broke down. A Methodist minister
prayed, Nearer, My God, to Thee" "
was sung by visitors and Jail guards
and the condemned man embraced
his daughter.
Before leaving the Jail the daughter,
eighteen years old, promised her fa-
ther to bring her fiance to the Jail. 1t
will be the first meeting between Ri
barich and the young man who will
take his daughter as bride soon aft
er the hanging.

Convict Tries Suicide.

With the avowed intention of COM
mitting suicide. negro convict
in the Frankfort penitentiary threw
himself down the elevator shaft
from the third floor of one OF the
shops. He picked a time, however,
when the elevator was going down
and was not far below the floor from
which he jumped. The negro escaped
injury, but Deputy Warden J. Mack
Phythian had a narrow escape from
injury, as the convict fell on top OF
Mr.. Phythian, who was standing Oh
the elevator at the time. The con
vict's body struck the bar over the
elevator, and bounced down onto Mr.
Phythian's shoulders. The deputy
warden did not know what was hap
pening, so jumped off the elevator
landing on his feet, unhurt, on the

ATTACKS IOURDEs' "CUEEs."

ATTACKS LOUTDES' "CUEES."
Paris.-The miraculous healing
power of the famous spring at Lour-
des, to which thousands Of pilgrims
journey every year, is questioned by
writer in the Revue dc Psychothe-
rapie, who tells of a number Of in
stances wherein the cures after
ward proved false
. One instance cited is that of a
man named Joseph Riviere, whose
case drew from the vicar in charge
Of the pilgrimage the following tele-
gram to Mgr. Freppel:
Miraculous cure. Deaf and dumb
man, half paralyzed since %, entire
ly cured. Pilgrims delighted''
RiWere afterward confessed his
trickery. The pins he was supposed
to have stuck into his paralyzcd leg
did not go further than his trousers.
The blows he said he gave himself
with stick were stopped by leather
under garments
Another case was of a woman who
simulated tuberculosis, coughing
whenever she saw a doctor, and cx-
hIblting each morning blood stains
on a handkerchief. Coming earlier
than usual one day, the doctor
noticed his patient returning from
the market with saucer of chicken
blood, by means of which she had
been in the habit Of deceiving him.
She afterward went to Lourdes, and
then reported herself miraculousIy
cured.
The motives for some of the pre-
tended cures examined by the Revue
de Psycotherapie, were connected
with sWind1ing in some form or
other, but the majority of cases were
those of persons who acted merely
out Of vanity, wishing to appear to
be the chosen ones for divine heal
ing, which others implored in vain.

FRENCH THRIFT STILL RULES.

The ease and rapidity with which
the French people in 1871 raised
the billion dollar indemnity, the
penalty of defeat in the Franco
Prussian war, is frequently cited as
an inspiring example of French
thrift. Last Wednesday the citizens
Of Paris broke this national record
three times over.
When the new municipal loan of
S41, 100000 Of per cent. $50 lot
terry bonds was offered for subscrip-
ton at $57 the working people Of
the city in their eagerness to invest
almost mobbed the Bank of France
and stood in line for hours in
drenching rain waiting for an op-
portunity to deposit their applica-
tons AS a result the loan was
oversubscribed 50 times.
That the working people Of Paris
have more than $4,000, 100000 in
savings which they are eager to in
vest in municipal bonds shows that
the spirit of thrift still rules over
France. The stability of the banks
and the attractiveness OF the state
and city loans have discouraged to a
large extent the old-fashioned hoard
ing methods OF the country, but the
peasants and the townfolks are still
frugal and now deposit their savings
IN Understanding securities.
SO long as the working class of
France maintains its modest stand
ard OF living and continues to lay
aside its billions for rainy day
there need be no fear of downfall

EASY.
Colonel Roosevelt will surely be
nominated by the Chicago Conven-
ton. Of the delegates already elect
ed, without counting the contested
delegates, he has more than 500.
Only $50 are necessary to nominate
and the Colonel will have no diff
Guilty in corralling that number from
those still to be elected. His noni-
nation is therefore assured He con-
fesses it himself
President Taft's nomination on
the first ballot at Chicago is certain.
He needs only seven more to win
and there are more than 200 dele
gates yet to be elected. From Ohio
and New Jersey and Arizona he will
get far more than the seven re-
quired. The Republican nominee,
therefore, will be Taft.
Champ Clark surely has the
Democratic nomination in his
pocket. He has more delegates
than any other OF the candidates, his
various successes have proved his
strength as a candidate, he has Mr.
Bryan's support and the support Or
powerful Democratic Congressman.
Hearst himself has enough. strength
to turn the tide Clarks way He
will. certainly be the Democratic
nominee.
There can be no possible doubt
that Wilson will get the Democratic
nomination. He is the only candi-
date who could win in the general
election against Roosevelt and the
revivified and astute Democratic
party is not going to bIunder this
time. Besides, Wilson has now more
delegates than any other candidate
and on the second ballot will have
majority. Bryan is for him.
The Democratic candidate will as
suredly be Harmon. That is as GER
tain as anything human can be- No
one will have majority of the dele
gates when the convention assem-
bles, much less a two-thirds ma
jority, and that means that there
must necessarily be a compromise.
In any compromise the question of
availability will be Of prime impor-
lance. Some nzGn must be named
who can carry Connecticut and New
York and New Jersey and Massachu-
setts. HarEen is the only man VINO
can do it.
Eaderwaood will surely be the man.
Repeat the last sentence to yourself,
inserting the word Underwood for
Harmon, where the latter appears,
and you have the proof
Bryan now has the nomination in
his hand. He has shrewdly kept the
vote for all the other candidates
very much scattered, while keeping
firm hand upon the delegates in
structed for each. He is the univer-
sal second choice, and the situation
shows that no first choice of any
State can be successful. After the
complimentary ballots are over he
will be named by reclamation.

formation from the headquarters of
the various candidates, now tells
authoritatively for the first time who
the nominees of the two big conven-
tons will be. Isn't it easy?-Balti-

Some ting Facts Given
by Missionary, of
the u. S.


ming, Mormonism is insidiously CIR
cling the mountain States with it's
tentacles and the American nation
has not enough churches to house it's
people. This was the statement of
l. N. NfcCash, secretary of the Ameri-
can Christian Missionary Society be-
fore the Texas Christian Missionary
convention Wednesday.
There are IA Buddhist temples
on American soil,' he said, land in
vestigators found 75 American wo-
men learning Buddhism in one tenn
pie in Los Angeles. America is in
the grip of heathenism The ORR
entail beliefs are creeping insidiously
into American life. Stretched along
the Pacific coast are 100000 Chinese
and as many Japanese. Probably not
more than 600 are actually being
reached by Christian workers.
I'VE must do something to prevent
the spread of heatkenisn in our own
land. Few Of US know that last year
more than $4,000 was spent to
teach Buddhism to the American
people. In one heather temple in
Seattle is an idol which was SNUG
gled into the United States without
the knowledge of the Mikado. But
now on the wall by it's side is a
statement signed by the Mikado
which gives permission to keep it
there
Mr.. McCash then told Of what he
calls "Tqae Mormon PERIL He sees
in Mormonism a greater danger than
the creeping inroad of paganism.
He said:
From Utah, where we find the
statue Of Brigham Young standing
with its back to the temple and its
hand outstretched to the Zion bank,
the Mormon church is extending its
Tentacles into Idaho, Montana, Colo
RADIO, New Mexico, Arizona and Ne
Vada
"Polygamy is practiced secretly,
and where the Mormons dare, open
ly. The church obeys the laws only
where it is forced to do so. In all
the Rocky Mountain region there are
few places where man can be
elected to a political position without
the consent of the Mormon church.
Remember when you go home
and use sugar in your food that the
sugar trust is controlled by the Nor
mon church. I have been told on
good authority that the Mormon
church controls the Union Pacific
railroad. If you ever ride ON the
Oregon Short Line, know that every
spike in the system, every engine,
every wheel Of the rolling stock, is
owned by the Mormons,
This will give you some idea of
the power of the church that is
spreading it's offensive belief over
large portion OF our nation
He then told of the failure of
Christianity to reach the people. He
said that in Montana there is vast
section of country, $4,000 square
miles in all, without a Christian
church. Boys and girls grow to
manhood and womanhood without
, ever hearing the Gospel preached,
he added.
''In that State I know Of three
counties, containing 5000 people,
without single Protestant church
You call the Japanese a son of God
when he is in his own land. But let
the Japanese come to America and
you call him cooIie. The Italian
in his own land is an Italian, but
put him on board ship bound for
America and you call him Dago
The Russian at home is Russian,
but here he Is a Wop.
