MISSIONARY
Convention In This City On
January IL And Is
viii Be An Event Of Vast
Importance

More than forty mission boards, in
cluding almost as many denominations,
have given their hearty endorsement
to the united missionary campaign.
Nearly 1000 cities in the United States
and Canada are holding these confer
ences this year. The Mt. Vernon con-
ference will be held Jan. IL and 13.
The promoters of the effort point
out the fact that scarcely one-half of
the adult population of America are
members of any church. The Protest
ant churches have about 23,0O0,000
members of the aggregate and the Ro-
man Catholic churches report about
100000, including all baptized chill
dren. This leaves 35,000,000 people ov-
er ten years of age who are not men,
bers Of any church. There is there
fore plenty of room for aggressive
home mission work on the part of all
churches.
1t is expected that the three great
missionary campaigners who will
speak in Mt. Vernon, the Rev. S. ].
Corey, of Cincinnati, DR.. A. L. Wiley,
returned missionary from India, and
the Rev. Paul H. McClanahan of Phil
adelphia, will stir up much enthusi-
asm in the four sessions, and that the
meetings that will follow in various
parts Of Knox county, conducted by
local men, will result in much good in
building uD the missionary funds, not
only by securing additional yearly
contributions by persons already Civ
ing, but by enlisting aid from men who
who have not heretofore contributed
to the missionary cause.

Greeley, Colo.-A coroner's jury
which returned three verdicts as the
result of the deaths of Robert M. Stan
ley, 28, his wife, Charlotte, %, and his
sen, Benton, 6, declared that Stanley
was guilty of killing his wife first, his
sen next and then taking his own life.
Judging from the position in which
the bodies we're found, the little boy
had leaned forward to see what had
occurred when his mother fell dead
with bullet hole through her head,
and was begging his father not to
shoot again when Stanley took delib-
crate aim and sent a second bullet
through the back of the boys head.
The boy was partially dressed and fell
forward beside his mothers body, hold
ing in one hand the stocking which he
was about to put on.
Stanley then knelt few feet away
from the bodies of his wife and son
and ended his own life, using the same
weapon, sending bullet through his
head
Constant quarreling between the
couple, combined with jealousy which
famed up at a dance in New Raymer,
which they both attended the night be-
fore, are believed to have been the
motive which caused the tragedy.
Il am not surprised at the news"
Stanley said when told of his broth
er's deed my brother and his wife
never did get along very we'll She
was a woman that liked GOOD time
and her actions had made a heavy
drinker of my brother. I'm sorry that
such thing had to be, but perhaps it
is for the best"
Stanley denied that financial diff
culties were the cause of the tragedy,
as he said his brother had been well
cared for in the will of his father, LIE
Roy Stanley, wealthy stock grower,
feeder and property owner of Tilden,
Neb., where Stanley was raised and
where he met his wife.
In March, 1913, he received several
thousand dollars from the sale of
property of his fathers estate, which
at the time of his fathers death five
years ago, amounted to 100000 AL
together Stanley had received $4,000
since the death of the elder Stanley.
