DOCTRINE ON DEATH.
Statement That Dead are Just Dead
Gets Reply From Rev. Samuel
Woodrow.

Assertion that "the dead are Just
dead" made recently by lecturer 10
Washington, as we'll as in Annapolis,
evoked a sermon By Rev. Samuel H.
Woodrow, D. D., at the First Con-
gregational Church, Washington, last
Sunday, on where are the Dead?''
preached on the text ''For | am a
strait betwixt two, having a desire
to depart and be with Christ, which il
far better. "
DR.. Woodrow said in part:
"The question that have raised
this mornig is one of the utmost inn
portance, or we have all looked upon
the face of our loved dead and we all
shall die. What became of them at
the hour of death and what shall be-
come of US at the end of life's jour
ney?
"The question is cf Importance
now because a man visited our city
and told the people "Ihe dead are
just dead, unconscious. non-existent,
nowhere.
cit was not necessary for him to
multiply adjectives. If the dead are
'non-existent' thel of course they can
be neither conscious nor Unconscious.
A non-existent being is. of course,
nowhere
"The dead, then. are annihilated
and it is as though they had never
existed.
Later the gentleman said they
were in the tomb awaiting the
resurrection. How can non-existent
creatures be in the tomb.

BLAZE STARTS AT
! LEAK IN CASMAIN

A leak in the temporary gas main
at Fifth avenue aud Thirty-ninth
street yesterday noon resulted in a
small fire when a lighted match was
thrown near 1t. The Are department
was called, but did nothing in the
case except notify the Peoples
Power company. A one-and-a-half
inch gas main had been placed on
the surface temporarily and the high
pressure forced the valve connections.
The fire department was called to
the home of Mrs. T. Monroe, colored,
81 Thirteenth street, Saturday ev-
ening at 5:15. Some sparks had set
fire to the roof. The blaze was ex-
tinguished with bucket of water.
The damage was nominal.

"HAY MAKER" PUTS
FOOT-PADS TO FLIGHT

pair of foot-pads failed in an at
tempt to get away with hold-up at a
late hour last night at Forty-second
street near Fifth avenue, when the
man whom they had selected as the
butt of their attack, turned on one OF
them and knocked him TO the ground
with a well directed blow. Without
stopping to finish the argument as to
who should possess the valuables of
the man selected as the victim, the
strong-arm men took a little hike for
themselves.
The man who was there with the
'haymaker," planted the blow despite
the fact that a young canon was
thrust into his face by one Of the foot
pads. No report of the attempted hold
up was made TO the police.

COURT REFUSES
MOVE To DISMISS

The trial of the Billburg gambling
case was resumed in the county
court this afternoon following the
overruling of several motions made
by the defense with view to ter
minating the case favorably for it.
Since Saturday Judge R. w. Olmsted
has had under Amusement a motion
to dismiss on grounds of lack of
jurisdiction. Upon converting court
this afternoon he overruled this mo-
ton whereupon John Looney filed
another asking that the case be dis
missed because of failure on the part
of the city to make sufficient show
ing. After this was overruled
Looney asked that the jury be in
structed to bring in a verdict for the
defense. This, too, was overruled,
and then the defense rested it's case
without introducing any evidence to
show that Billburgs place was not a
gambling joint.

Henry G. Raithel of South
Rock Island Meets With a
Peculiar Accident.

In spite Of the fact that Henry G.
Raithel Of South Rock Island fell dis
lance Of eight feet TO the ground from
a wagon seat Friday afternoon and was
then ground underfoot by a big dray
horse, he is today on the job after a
two-day rest and aside from feeling
sore and stiff is none the worse for his
mishap.
Raithel is a driver for Henry Darts
Sons. Friday evening at $3.50 he drove
his team TO the barn at his residence,
22l1 Seventeenth street In attempt
ing TO step down off the wagon, he
slipped. Grabbing hold OF the seat he
attempted TO save himself, but that
part OF the wagon being Of the folding
variety which works on hinge, turned
over. throwing him TO the ground, d.
rectly under the feet OF the right horse.
HORSE Is FRIGHTENED.
The animal becoming frightened.
started forward a few steps, and then
backing up, planted its hind foot d.
rectly on Raithel's leg. Had the horse
been sharp shod or had it stepped a
few inches TO either side. the driver
would have received injuries which II
not resulting in death would have
caused serious after results.
Raithel was considerably bruised
from his fall and was scarcely able to
walk TO the house, but an examination
disclosed the fact that aside from q
few minor bruises he was perfectly
whole.

Tiffany, Freeport attorney, who decid-
ed Saturday to enter the race for the
republican nomination for lieutenant
governor, engaged special train from
Chicago in an effort to get his petition
into the office of the secretary of state
before midnight of the last filing day.
John ]. Lennox of Chicago, who car
ried the petition, arrived at the state
house with it about IL o'clock. Find
ing no clerk in the office of the secre-
tary of state, he left the instrument
with a Waterman. In view of the an
nouncement of Secretary of State Rose
that no petitions would be received for
| filing after o'clock, Tiffany and his
friends have engaged Attorney George
Gillespie of this city to represent them
in a possible controversy as to the
legal time limits of filing petitions.
Attorney Gillespie expects there will
be no litigation. He believes the secre
tary of state will adopt the construc
ton placed upon primary laws of other
states by courts and agree that the
time limit does not expire until mid
night of the day 30 days previous Il
the date Of the primary election.
