Say. Sunday Stole Sermons.
(By United Press


Philadelphia, June -'.Billy
Sundays most effective sermons were
plagiarized. /"
Bentley D. Ackley, ex-secretary to
the baseball evangelist, made that
statement to-day when he charged that
the sermons Sunday delivered in his
revivals in Des Moines and Philadelphia
were almost exact counterparts Of
those delivered by Evangelists Sam
Jones, Talmage and Gypsy Smith.
Ackley said that "Bily's'" sermon
'.New Birth" which seldom failed to
reap harvest of "sawdust trail hitters"
was preached several years ago by
Gypsy Smith. He further declared he
himself took the sermon in shorthand
when Smith delivered it at Winona
Lake.
The former secretary also alleged
Sundays sermon on the ten command
ments was taken from the writing of
Evangelist T. Dewitt Talmage, and
that Chickens come home to roost"
was first delivered by Sam Jones.

Harry Gray Killed by Lightning.

Harry Gray, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Gray, residing six miles
east of Orchard, was struck by light
ming bolt in the storm of Saturday
afternoon and instantly killed. The
fatality occurred about o'clock on the
farm of Clifford Balsley, where the
young man was employed. He had
been working in the field with a team
and wagon and had started for the
house when the bolt struck him and
knocked him the full length of the
wagon. Both horses were stunned so
that they did not rise for nearly an
hour. I2
The young man was alone when the
accident occurred. He was not dis
covered until half an hour after the
fatal bolt had struck him. His tragic
death came as a terrible shock to his
parents and to his many friends in East
and West Lincoln. The Usage News.

Nothing more discouraging than .
constant backache. Lame when you

bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys and calls for prompt treat

is Doan's Kidney Pills. Profit by this

Incidentally while they not saying much about that

is all that the supporters of the figure the to liable
o VI course there lawyers and pretty good
VINO say that the city will be responsible every of in
debtedness on the road whether it specifically assumed or
specifically not assumed But that not from
the standpoint of the taxpayer because there case in court
now involving the right of the city take under
the present an and by the time that fought out we will
know whether specifically say we don't assume debt
and make it stick not
And the courts rule that would be liable for all that
Indebtedness will be beyond the limit the deal will be off
entirely.
Even the most opponents purchase plan
however hardly look for failure complete enough so that all
the bonds Tor which the city be obligated have be
PAID by the municipality So the voter according his lean
ngs will probably expect that the city make SO much money
out Of the street railway lines that be easier on the tax
than that the taxpayers will eventually have to
pay good chunk of that $11OOOOOO
But even at that if things come to such pass that
the city threatened with having pay part all of that
100000 the voters would probably be willing hand fran
chse to some company to take the lines and the Indebtedness
and the taxpayer would get out from under anyhow
The question has been raised whether if city should
the street railway nes could maintain the difference
existing in the rates of fare on different lines.
Is all well for private company give eight tickets
for quarter the old Detroit Railway lines and
rest Of the system because 1t is notorious fact that private
corporation will give only the minimum where has to anyhow
In the of the city it would be different however
street commission might find it had nice argument
hands it attempted continue give part of the city
lower rate Of fare than another And if the fares equal
