Murder is Out!
Why Men Booze

Here's something new to tell your
wife!
Spirits of the departed often seize
upon a living man and make him buy
the drinks they want. Death does not
separate us from our desire for strong
drink -
But 1t does separate us from our
physical body. Without the body we
can not satisfy the desire. So the
spirit in it's astral form seizes upon
some convivial friend among the living
and makes him buy.
The friend may not want drink at
all, or he may prefer beer to high
balls, but that does not matter at all.
The spirit with the disembodied appe-
tite for spirits is selfish and has a
tremendous thirst.
It's an Obsession.
When you are showed into the front
door at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, just tell your wife the truth-it's 8
an ObsessiOn that's all.
The explanation of the wet obsession
was given last night by R. w. Long
street, of Battle Greek, Mich, lecturer
for theosophical society.
He quoted a Leadville (Colo.) friend
in the matter. Il moved to Indiana
from Colorado Springs" the friend said
to Mr.. LongStreet, Ito get away from
the boys-I was fast getting to be a
drunkard
81 was perfectly right for six months
up here Then one day an inexplic-
able desire to drink came upon me-
No sooner had I taken a drink or two
than half a dozen of the old Colorado
boys who had died, came crowding
around me. Soon it got so that
couldn't order a thing l wanted my
self-it was all their drinks. 1 tell you
| didn't last long"

raignment of Murderer of
Heir to Austrian Throne.

SARAJENO, Bosnia, June 29.-Prin,

MISSION WORK GOES
ON DESPITE TURMOIL
Miss Sadie Charles, Friends
Missionary, Returns to
Fountain City Home.

Miss Sadie Charles has returned to
her home at Fountain City on two
months furlOugh from her work as
teacher and matron of the girls dorm
itOry in the Friends Mission school at
MatamOraS, Mexico.
Despite unsettled condition of affairs
in the MeXicc L country and the several
breaks that have been occasioned in
the school work on one or two oc-
casions during the year Miss Charles
reports one of the most successful
terms work since the founding of the
mission several years ago The school
has had a total enrolment of upwards
of 13O native students and at the close
OF the term early in June the first
commencement was held with two
graduates receiving diplomas from the
high school course.
According to Miss Charles the work
OF the school has gone steadily on de-
spite the confusion that exists large
part of the time in the city of Mata-
moras. due to the Mexican political
upheaval. The city is in control Of
the Constituencies and has been
since June of last year when the Fed
erals who up until that time had been
in control were put to rout after
severe armed conflict.
Warnings had been previously given
the missionaries at MatamOras so that
they and the students in the mission
school were safe in refuge at Browns
vile. Texas. until after the fighting
and the subsequent change in the city
administration affairs. Venturing to
return later the school work was re-
sumed and has continued uninterrupt-
ed
The mission work would probably
have been discontinued, as have nearly
all of the other missions in the Mex
lean country except from the fact of
the close proximity of the United
States border rendering better pro-
lection to American subjects and max
ing possible the receipt of provisions
and school supplies. The Presbyter
ian school at Matamoras is also con-
tinuing its work.
While at no time have the American
teachers and missionaries felt them
selves in immediate danger during the
past year, Miss Charles admitted that
conditions were such as to cause some
uneasiness. On the one hand has
been the fear that the Federals might
return and endeavor to retake the city,
reports to this effect being current at
different intervals. and on the other
hand the fear of natives of the city
turning on the Americans before they
could take refuge in the event of in
tervention.
Miss Charles expects to return to
her station early in August to resume
her duties as it is the intention to re-
open the school early in September in
continuation of the mission work pro-
viding there are no preventing polit-
ical developments in the meantime

HEAVEN REALIZED
BY IDEAL SOCIETY
Rev. L. E. Murray Concludes
Series of Sermons on King
dom of God.

An ideal state of society and the
universal reign of righteousness is the
attainment of the kingdom of heaven,
according to l.. E. Murray, pastor of
the Christian church in the last of a
series OF three sermons on when and
How Will the Kingdom of God Come"
The kingdom of God or the king
dom of heaven, taken to mean the ideal
state of society, has been the dream of
poets and the subject of contemplation
of philosophers, Rev. Murray said
'Moore's Utopia Milton's Paradise
Regained' and Platos Republic may
be mentioned along with the visions
of the Hebrew prophets as examples
of the aspirations of humanity toward
an ideal state.
''The Hebrew prophets alone speak
of it as the kingdom of God. They
expected it with the advent of the
Messiah But their conception of it
was to be an enlarged and perfected
Jewish empire. That Christ should
reign forever over universal empire.
They were disappointed in Christ.
There are three interpretations of
Christs teachings. and that of the
New Testament writer's. First: What
is known as the Chiliastic or mllenial
idea This teaches that the kingdom
is in the future. 1t will be established
at the second coming of Christ Christ
will reign for a thousand years on
earth. Second, the Ecclesias stical idea.
This holds that the kingdom is realiz-
ed in the church. The church is the
vicar of God through which govern
ment and salvation are mediated The
church has absolute authority. This
iS no
THE third is the Socialistic idea and
that generally held by Protestants.
This theory makes the individual the
medium through which the kingdom is
to be esta ablished."

VERTIGO OR DRUNK
Mayor Rules on PatrOlman's
Testimony.

George Black, an aged man who
has been living at the Grand hotel,
was fined 81 and costs for intoxication
this morning. 1t was his first arrest,
he said. and after entering a plea of
not guilty, informed the mayor that
he was unfamiliar with court pro-
cedure and would like to have an at
torney but could not afford to secure
one. Several years ago he was worth
over $4,000, it is said. Black said he
had only taken one drink and was
suffering with vertigo when arrested.
Officer Westenberg said the man was
very drunk when he found him and
had a bottle of whiskey in a pocket

one standing at the curb of a crowded

the motor car. The missile went
straight at the head of the Archduke

off.
The bomb fell in the street. where

of the Archduke's suite was passing
over it. The machine was wrecked

Love will triumph over law and find

Leslie NJ. Moore, of Paris, KY, was
awarded Judgment in the sum OF
$4,000 in circuit court today against
Claude RabOrn of the same place, as
balm for the outright pilfering of
Mrs Moore's love and the subsequent
elopment of the two.
For about eight months, the two
have travelled, living as man and wife.
Raborn worked at the Westcott hotel
last winter, his friends wife living
with him as his own. They were
traced to this city by detective
through an indianapolis labor bureau.
Nothing can part u.s." Raborn dra-
maucally declared in court today.
Even the $4,000 verdict did not damp
en- his ardor for the fair Mrs. Moore,
or as he calls her, Mrs. Raborn. With
a $4,000 judgment in his vest pocket,
Moore, however. probably will remain
satisfied without possession of his
tickle wife.
Romance Gushes Heavily.
Romance for the romantic soul,
could have been supplied by proxy IN
court today in abundance. The elop-
ment of the two young people by night
and with stealth is an incident never
to be forgotten since it occurred this
time. outside of a best seller or a
Shakespearean romance.
Mr. MoOre's detective traced Mrs.
Moore and RabCrn from their homes
to various Tennessee towns where Ra-
born obtained employment. The
couple evidently felt through some in
stinct supplied them by their mutual
love, the press of the detective at
their heels. Just as he was about to
make his capture, they left for other
cities.
They travelled over the state of
Missouri without settling down. After
a short stay in ST Louis, they recross-
ed the Mississippi and went to India
napolis. About Christmas time, Ra-
born secured work through an India
napolis labor bureau as a helper in the
kitchen at the Westcott hotel. His
faithful companion, Moore's wife, came
with him and here they located.
Moore filed suit in the Wayne cir
cult court January 80, demanding
$4,000 for alienation of affections 1t
is said that Raborn has no money
to pay the $4,000 judgment and the
suit will have only the effect of bring
ing the case to light Raborn prob
a BILE will leave the city.

CENTRAL CHRISTIANS
WIN OVER MAR|0N|TES
Local Church Attracts 1,2OO
Persons to Closing of At
tendance Contest.

Enthusiasm won the attendance con-
test for the Central Christian Sunday
school. The school had a PAS major
ity.
For six weeks the First Christian
Sunday school of Marion. and the Cen
trail Christian Sunday school have been
contesting for the largest attendance.
Total figures after the last service yes
terday were: Marion, 4,339; Central
Christian, 1854
The struggle reached a grand climax
yesterday when 1,200 persons attended
the morning services in the tabernacle.
The mems class had an attendance of
352, the w. G. B. class of women 309,
and the Cleaners for young women 1O1.
The Richmond Concert band of thir-
ty pieces furnished the music. Popu-
lar airs mingled with hymns during
the service, until every one felt per-
fectly at home.
Band Gives Concert.
Marching up Main street, the band
reached the tabernacle shortly after
O'Clock, giving a concert first on the
outside, and later from the platform
on the inside.
The Marion school had a band and
but it could not overcome the lead OF
2S3, which the local school had for the
first five Sundays of the contest.
According to the agreement before
the contest began. the defeated school
will pay the expense of two commit
tees, one from their school with con
sratulations to the winning school, and
one from the victorious school to the

tell how they did it,
At the suggestion of the Marion peo
pie, the pastor of each church and the
superintendent of each school, with
their wives, will compose the COM
mittee. The Rev. and Mrs. r. c. Leon
ard and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Ro.
land will visit Marion next Sunday,
where they will be expected to take
charge of both the Sunday school and
church services. Rollin A. Bennett,
pastor of the First Christian church
of Maion, his wife and Sunday school
superintendent will be here next Sun
day. both morning and evening to di-
rect the services of the Central Chris
tian church and Sunday school
Contest is Close.
The contest was close. especially the
first four Sundays, which put every
member on his metal.
while the season of the year is
now here when Sunday schools every
where reach the low-water mark,
neither school can hope to have the
large attendance that they had during
the contest" said the Rev Mr. Leon
ard. yet the Central school is sure
that the special effort has meant a
large permanent increase in attend
ance. Almost two hundred new pupils
have been enrolled. and the superin-
tendent is planning school in another
year with an average attendance of
one thousand. The local school con-
graduates itself especially because il
has been able to win the honor over
the church that is to entertain the
state convention of Christian churches
in 1915"
The figures of the contest Sunday
by Sunday were:
May 24-Marion, 5O7: Richmond. 522
May 31-Marion, 526: Richmond. $40
