They were determined men, willing to
go any length, and fancied they were
doing the will of God. There is no
more dangerous man than he who fan
cies that he must be the Judge as to
who are Gods friends and who are his
foes, and that he is the appointed exc
cutioner Of Gods judgment. The plot
was well laid, and seemed certain Of
success, but it failed miserably. (See
Psalm 2:1-4; "a lilo; Isaiah Al 10y.
The wicked, who leave God out of
their plans no matter how cunningly
they plot, are doomed to failure (ROm.

the priest. Ecclesiastics have often
descended to the lowest villainy. Men
are not murdered today, though their
regulations are often blasted by I'M

repeat In their own language this boys
story. Paul was not safe in Jerusa-

SAYS POOR INVENTOR
DENIED FAIR CHANCE
Indiana Congressman Scores
Naval Experts.

Washington, June 12.-That poor
boy cannot get within gunshot Of high
navy officials to elicit interest in his
invention, if he happens to be an in
ventor, is the charge made by Repre-
sentative William E. Cox of Indiana.
A young man named Sheridan Sim
mons, who was born and reared in
Dubois county, Indiana, Cox's home
county, claims to be the inventor Of a
torpedo that will carry full weight
and full strength $4,000 yards, where
as the average range Of torpedoes at
the present time is between 5000 and
5000 yards.
Simmons now drives a milk wagon
in New York city at wage of SIG a
week. Time and again, Cox says, Sim
mons has sought an interview with
the navy department officials solely
for the purpose of getting them to
scrutinize and investigate his torpedo,
but always has failed.
Men like Nicholas Murray Butler,
one of the greatest scientific men in
this country, have gone over his in
vention and say it VIII revolutionize
modern naval warfare" declared Cox.
Papers like the Scientific American
have devoted page after page to this
mans invention and yet, for some
reason or other, I know not why, he
has never been able to get his inven-
ton before the naval board or those
in authority down there with view
of determining whether or not he has
an invention that will prove of value. y

stroyed the two barn buildings and the
silo on the farm, Sunday morning,
May 2S
Bail of $1,000 was furnished by
his father, William Radtke, and
brother, Robert Radtke. He was
charged with arson.
Radtke's purpose was to secure fire
insurance money with which to meet
a note which is coming due, and to
pay other debts that he was unable to
meet
Radtke set the barn afire by lighting
the hay in the barn at a point where
it would not burn too fast, then drove
rapidly to the city barely reaching the
main part of town when the fire
whistle blew.
He was seen leaving the place by
people on their way to the Lutheran
cemetery. This fact was discovered
after the insurance adjusters had set
tied Radtke's loss at $97. He was
questioned and finally made clean
breast of the affair
Radtkes personal property was in
sured for 81 $50. He is unmarried and
lives alone, and it is said that his
house is not furnished extra well.
He is a son of William Radtke, Ixonia.
The note referred to is for $164 and
was given in payment of goods pur-
chased at the Vaughan sale.
