THE REVEREND HENRY NUELSEN,
sWh'o Is tKe oldest member of the Conference, and who speaks
Sunday afternoon at the celebration of the sixtieth anhiver-
Bary of Salem Church.
i 1I19 Alice A. Evans, a returned mission
ary from Southern India, addressed the
iTTntan'a Foreign Missionary Society at the
German Methodist Conference yesterday

Ijast night Bishop Walden delivered his
lecture oni The Evangcllratlon of Africa,"
In the audience were, many members of
other churches. The sons: service for the
occasion was Inspiring. "" '
Miss Evans's address was based on facts
obtained by her while she was for five years
tC missionary to Hyderabad, a city of 400,000
Inhabitants, During that time she was su
perintendent of the schools established there
and was In charge of the Zenana work.
In speaking "of tho famines In India she
said the first one was that for bread,
through which the people of India had re
cently passed. Tho principal part of her
address was directed to the' "famine for the
bread of life" the' gospel. She 'spoke for
almost an hour, and her address was a vivid
picture of the hungering of India for the.
word ol uoa. special empnasis was iaia on
the Zenana work as an' agency for reaching
the women. The schools were also' de
scribed, and tho statement made that $20
'would pay the entire cost of sending a na
tive pupil to one of the mission schools for
one year.' This amount. It was said, would
cover tuition, medical care and provide
every, comfort. This statement formed a
basis for an appeal for subscriptions on the
part of each missionary society In the con
ference.' for at least' one pupil. The attond
anoe at tha. meeting' was large and the In
terest was quite marked.

under the new census may be reviews! I'y

Anally the Supreme Court of the UhllcJ
States will pass upon the con-tlfJiion-i!itj'
of the law.
Representative Richard Bartholdt cf St
Louis announced to-day that !:o IntcnJ'd
to raise tho issue by bringing before the
Federal Court for Missouri the question of
the legality of the act of the Missouri Leg
islature making a reapportionment of that
State.
Under the apportionment act of the Fifty
sixth Congress, the State of Mi3)ourl gained
one Representative. The Missouri legis
lature, in redisricting the State, si changed
Mr. Bartholdt's district, he says,. as to make
It embrace within Its limits approximately
300,000 people, whereas, under .the .'ViW.il
statute, the apportionment provided !cr one
Kepresentatlve for every IK. COO of Missouri's
population.
"The Missouri act." says BartlioUt. 'Was
a gerrymander, the Democratic Legislature
aiming to so arrange matters as to change
the party status in" the city of St. I ouls,
which had for several elections sent three
Republican- Representatives to Congress.
The result was that my district was ex
tended so as to Impound within its 1'mlts
most of the Republican population of St.
Louis to the end that the remaining two
districts, having In the aggregate possibiv
less population than mine., might be safely
held by the Democrats. Under the Mlw-ourl
statute, my district is safely Republican ty
from 23,000 to 50,000, but' my Republican col
league, Mr. Joy. has been euchred out of
the remotest chance of election: He has

well as the number of population, has been
gnomlnlously ignored. Democratic legis"
taturcs of Missouri and Texas followed the
example of Republican legislatures of Penn
sylvania and Illinois.
Section 3 of the Federal act of appor
tionment provides: nppor
Z!!?L '" each,state """led under this
apportionment the number to which each
State may be entlUed In the Fifty-eighth

shape and number of. population as would
accrue to the advantage of the party ln
control of the Legislature. When the ap
portionment bill was before Congress the
question was raised as to the power -f
Congress to prescribe limitations governing
congressional nnnnrtfnnmpitc 1.., cn. .
lslaturcs When the committee amendment
TaUnBn"mL,,l0ns was Pen0'". Mr.
"yler, a Republican member from Ohio
representing Mr. McKinley's old district!
argued that Congress had no such author
ity under the Constitution. He said:
I Powers of Congress Questioned.
"Congress has no power to say how the
districts shall be laid off, whether In con
tiguous territory or of as nearly equal pop
ulation as practicable: that rinivVaat ..
the States, and upon them alone. The right-
. uraara mat congressional districts shall
be laid off out of contiguous territory, and
of nearly equal population" as practicable,
Implies, of course, the power to revise any
iiiuuciiun at me taw; and tbe power to re
vise Implies the power to Initiate, and
would give to Congress the right to lay off
Into districts' all the States of the Union.
This, It seems to me. Is too" monstrous a
doctrine to be for a" moment tolerable. I
know that for 'fifty years such provisions
as these have been Incorporated' ln appor
tionment bills, but no State has ever per
mitted Itself to be bound by them. Since
such legislation has always been nueatorv
I attach no especial Importance to U1I3 ef
fort, and It Is hardly worth while -.vasilng
tho time of the House endcnvorlng to con
vince It of the Invalidity of this section.' "
The House overruled Mr. Ta'yler's objec
tions, and passed the amendment reported
from the committee. Under the action
.which Mr. Bartholdt says he will bring all
the State .apportionments authorized, by the
act might fall, or the Federal statute itself
be declared unconstitutional. Possibly In
no Instance has a State Legislature In ap
portioning a State shaped Its work so as
to" form "districts composed of contiguous
and compact territory nnd containing as
nearly as practicable an equal number of"
inhabitants."
If the several State legislatures are right
then the Federal statute would seem to
be unconstitutional, and the entire act
nugatory.
State Affected by I,avr.
The States which would bo nnVete.l tin

Because Hiss Biehter refined to cloiie with liim, George Kenealey
shot her to death, and then put bullet' in his own breast His
wound, it is thought, will' prove fatal. -
George Kenealey, a jroung painter; living
at No. 1S12 North Broadway,' shot, his
swethcart. Bertha Richter, yesterday, morn
ing nt her home, at the above address, and
then beat her on the head and face with'
his pistol as she lay dying In her mother's
arms. Then he shot himself In the breast.
The girl died ln her mother's arms a few
moments later.
Kenealey is the son of an artist living in
Akron, p. He Is 21 years old. Mls3 Bieh
ter, with whose mother, he had boarded for
nearly two years, was barely 16. He was
ln love with her, and her refusal to elope
with him led Kenealey to doubt her af-'
fcctlon. He left a. letter explaining his net
and asked that she be decently buried,
adding that he cared not what became of
his own corpse. He left ln his coat rocket
a love letter from Miss Richter, ln which
she. avows her constancy and asks forgive
ness for little deceptions.
The tragedy was evidently planned delib
erately. Though usually a steady worker,
Kenealey remained home from work yes
terday morning. Hearing Mrs. Richter and
her daughter cleaning up the house down
stairs, he called from his. room, which was
the second-story 1-front, asking' for hot
water, airs. Richter told her daughter to
get It for him.
"I don't want to," said the girl; "I am
afraid." .
Her mother Insisted and Bertha got a
glass of hot water and w:ent upstairs. A
moment later Mrs. Richter heard a shot
fired and ran up the stairs.
As Mrs. Richter reached Kenealcy's room
she saw her daughter dying upon the floor
in- the doorway. Mrs. Richter raised her
head. Kenealey sprang forward and struck
the girl thrice on the head with his pistol.
He then turned and shot himself Just over
the heart. .
Mrs. Richter. frenzied with grief, sent l
for Doctor Henry Lloyd of No. 1S07 North
Ninth street, who did what. he could for
Ktncaley 'and ordered him Sent to the City
Hospital. He pronounced the girl dead.
Kcnealy Was Jealum.
Bertha Richter was bright and vivacious
and a general favorite In the neighborhood.
Although It was generally understood that
she was engaged to Kenealey", she received
her share of attention from all the young
men of her set. This angered Kenealey.
Mrs. Richter did not oppose his ruit, but
wished marriage delayed until her daugh
ter was older. The young man left the cltv
In anger-at a supposed slight from the girl
a month ago. but returned.
Two months ago Charles Richter. father
or the murdered rlrl. was nhot n.hii,.
ascending the stairs to the second story.
He recovered and failed to. indicate any one
an his nraailant. He is not known to have
had .trouble with any of the boarders
iteneaiy Tells His Story.
Kenealey, at tho City Hospital, said:
I wanted Bertha to marry me. She had
nromlscd'to marry me several months' ago
Two weeks ago I suspected that she was
receiving the attention of nnother man.' 1
asked her then- if she would not marry me
at once. She refused, and I grew angry
and told her that I would kill myself and
her. too. if she persisted.- She treated m
worse' than ever. I didn't want to live
without her, and I didn't want her to live
without me. So I killed her. and I hODe I
will die."
He made the last assertion as the doctors
were dressing his wound, and he exerted
all his remaining strength ln an effort to
tear away the bandages. The exertion
renaeren mm unconscious, ana ne did not
revive for two hours. Later, he said his
home was In Akron, O.. and that he had
been in St. Louis three years. He also said
that his mother and father, two brothers
and a sister are. living at Akron. His
father, he stated, is an-artist of means.
Assistant Superintendent Rassleur ex
amined Kenealcy's wound. . The ball en
tered an Inch' below and to the left of
the heart. passeUT through the body "and
lodged ln the muscles of the back. Doctor
Rassleur-pronounced the wound fatal.-

that make you feel had? If I would give

b as not? But, Ueorge, this change might
J have been for our own good. Wo might
meet again som day. and then we will
i feel mote satisfied with one another. I
P know that If you ain't mad at me you will

that c will meet again, and If we t'on't
meet on earth. I think that we will meet

KE.VEALEY'S FAREWELL.
Good-by to all. I am" sorry I have to
commit thli crime. Roping you won't
think hard of me. for I can't stand It. no
longer. She has tormented me and forced
me. to do It. I warned her a few times
what would happen, but It never done no
good, so I will be as good' as my word.
Sho la young, but not to young that she
don't know what she talks about. She .
made me happy once, but makes my lite
miserable now. But. still, still pretends
to love me. But she Is false. Bead this
letter. This Is from her when I was at
.home. Then. I guess, you will know why
I came back again. I. tried to leave many
a time, but was always coaxed to stay.
Better treatment waa promised, but the
bigger fool I guess she took me .to be.
Hoping that God will forgive m Mr
what I have done, good-by to all.

KANSAS MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Order Likely to Be Issued Friday-
Trouble jossible.
Pittsburg, Kas., Sept, 6. The miners
strike situation looks more serious to-night.
The miners' national-board has authorized
the- district board, to use extreme meas
ures If necessary to force the Big Four
operators to terms.
President Richardson of the. miners union
said to-night: .
"We will order a strike to-morrow It ws
can find no other way; of securing a settle
ment. Ninety per cent of tbe men will walk
out."
State Labor Commissioner Johnson is here
and has offered his 'services as-arbitrator.
The district board has decided, however,
that arbitration Is not wanted for the pres
ent. -..All the mine operators are preparing .for
trouble. Stockades are being built at tha
mines and guards are: being posted. There
Is bad feeling between union and .nonunion
men and serious trouble may ensue.
.. The miners' district board will meet- to
morrow and canvass the situation. The
calling 'of the. strike can hardly be avoided
now. as failure, to strike would,' in tha minds
of the. miners, 'mean the. disorganisation of
the' union. The companies have offered th
men every concession, except recognition ot
'union, ' . . ..i, v- 4

STRONG REACTION NOTED
IN CORN AND COTTON.
Illinois Crop Reports Give Balls
the Best of the Situation Big
Western Operators Hold
Their Lines.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Sept. 6. Com was active and
decidedly higher this morning with over a
half-cent advance to Its credit before mid
day. Activity among shorts was due chiefly
to the Illinois State report, giving a con
dition of only 45 against SI by the Govern
ment on August 1. and suggesting the idea
that, after all. crop figures on tho 10th may
be generally more bullish than weekly bul
letins have given reason to expect.
Some of the largest Western operators lit
corn are said to be still believers ln higher
prices and holding their lines for such ad
vancement. On th? other hand, according
to Frlce Current figures, corn a maintain
ing Its promise of 1,400,000,000 bu.. which Is
several" hundred million more than bulls are
calculating upon.
An additional point of firmness this morn
ing, however, was the report circulated by
stock yard peoplo that receipts, now rather;
full, are likely to drop off ln the near fu-.
lure. Oats, guided by corn and also by In-,
fluentlal buying, were firm and higher.
Wheat was also higher after an early de
cline. The Missouri State report on corn came
In, showing a condition of IT, against 3
by the last Government and 21. by the State
figures. Although this was some Improve
ment, the market continued very firm,
throughout the afternoon without important
offerings and closed strong at lc net ad
vance. Wheat closed firm, at He and ic
net advance.

Excessive Rains in Sontb. Atlantic
States and Drought in Texas y
and Arkansas Responsible
' for Cotton Advance.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New .York, Sept. 5. From a speculative
viewpoint, to-day's cotton market was ak
unsatisfactory affair. There was very lit
tle business ln hand from the-public Nev
ertheless, the tendency of prices was unmis
takably upward, and, with scarcely 3 points
reaction, a rise, of 12- points was scored In
the forenoon. The opening Liverpool cable
reported an advance of I point, which was
increased by 12:30 p. m. to.24& points, by
1:20 p. m. to 2543!i points, and etui late
to 2ft points,, with the close steady at 'a,
net rise ot.W&X points.
Close upon .the' bullish cable sews cams
bad crop reports from the South Atlantic)
States where excessive rains ot late have
caused "stalk, growth and light boiling."
and from the Western belt, including Ar
kansas, where drought has caused the plant
to stop growing prematurely and the Dolls
to. open'bef ore fully developed.
Early in the afternoon January worked;
up to 7.83 cents on nervous but light room
covering, helped by a few outside buying or
ders, mostly Southern.- The New Orleans
market displayed, greater strength than
manifested here, said by private wires to
be on a small scare of shorts. prompted ox
light receipts In the Atlantic States and un
favorable crop reports from Arkansas, Tex
as and tbe Carolina.
-Whlle.lt Is still too early in the season ta
obtain definite Ideas on the year's crop,.
opinions are being expressed that reveal
much clearer Ideas on tne outlook. In. about
one-third of the cotton belt the yield Is ex
pected to be about .1.000,000 bales less than
last vear. while over the remaining .two-
thirds the promise Is sufficiently bright to
encourage the view that tne crop wiu i
luuy tnat mucn over lasi year.
nnH th. irt )imii-tti market v
steady and sensitive to buying orders trum
any source. The" close was steady, and at
12fl4 points higher.
