THE coal barons of Pennsylvania

THE senatorial investigation into
the beef-packing industry at Kansas
City and Chicago is developing some
ugly secrets of this trade. It isclear
ly shown* that the business, while
nominally in control of competing
Arms, is really a trust, and that both
beef packers and cattle growers are
at its mercy. It is not possible for
private individuals to compete with
this great combination.
A* easternpaper says that farmers
and others whose lands are mort
gaged ought not to look upon their
jiportgages as indicating their pover
ty, but mther as showing their good
credit and' the' hope they have of
soonowning their property free of
debt. There is sense in that, particu
larlysince the indebtedness largely
represents money expended in im*
provements and stock for the farms
which increase their productive ca
pacity.

Farmer Fred Oleim of Streator, III., out of

doubt that the two men are noted confidence

swindled a man in Grant county out of 97,
000 since the Gleim robbery and just before
their capture in Indiana, and that they are

murdered by bis nophew, John F.
Schreiber. John, who is twenty-four years
old, has been out West in the army and just
returned and went out to the farm. All day
he acted rather queer and was evidently la
boring under the idea that he was a "bad
man," and told his uncle that he had some
Jesse James blood in his veins, and said he
was under the influence of some evil spirit.
His uncle argued with him in vain.
Toward evening he told his'
uncle he would leave for town, but before
ho left he went ont to where Mr. Schreiber
and his men werethieshing, and told him
thathe wanted his uncle to tell him all about
certain transactions between his father and
Mr. Schreiber, aud, not bring satisfied with
the answer, he pulled out a navy revolver
and, while his uncle had his back to him,
shot him twice in the back of the head and
neck. After the shooting the murderer fled
In the direction of the dty. where he was aft
erward captured. He was interviewed
by the reporter, who asked him
a few questions, which were all
answered. He stated that he was twenty
four years old that his name was John F.
Schreiber. that he visited his uncle and talk
ed with him all day, but could not make anv
settlement. He stated that he was reltitefr
to the James gang, and was subject to witch
craft. He said that he had sufllcient trouble
With his uncle to justify the act. He did not
express any regrets as to committing the
crime. The murdered man was about flity
years old, a native of Pennsylvania, and
came to Moorhead fifteen years ago. He
had the largest farm in Clay countv. and
was a highly respected and honored citizen.
He leaves a wife bnt no children. The mur
derer was captured by Policeman John
Thompson, who captured and shot the mur
derer Thomas Brown, recently hanged,

tween the young man and his uncle in regard
to property. This is said to have caused the
crime.

Bnt while I spesk of the immensity of the

immensity of monotone or tameness. The
larger some countries are the worse for the
world. This continent is ilot most remark

It seems as if it had been the meaning of om
nipotence to crowd into as Small a place as
possible some of the most stupendous scene
ry ofthe world. Some of the cliffs ,you do
not stop to measure by feet, for they are lit
terally a mile high. Steep so that neither
foot of man or beast over scaled them they
stand in everlasting defiance. If Jehovah
has a throne on earth these are the white pil

Mountains triumphant. As though Mount

ington were here uttering themselves in one
magnificent chorus of rock and precipice and
waterfall. Sifting and dashing through the
rocks the water comes down. Tho Bridal

The Americo-Asiatie bridge which will yet

Europe, and Africa one continent. So you
see America evangelised. Europe taking
Asia from one sids and America taking it
from the other side. Our great grandchil

Asia and Europe all one, what subtraction
from ths pangs of seasickness! and ths proph
ecies of Revelation will be fulfilled: "There
shall bs no more sea." But do 1 mean liter

Christ is ready to pardon all our sins and
heal all our wounds and save us both for this
world and ths nsxt. Let your religion of
glaciers crack off and fall into the gulf

On the Columbia river a few days ago we
fnw the saimon jump clear out of the water
in different places, 1 suppose for the purpose
«f Wetting the insscts. And if when we want
to fish for, men we could hove the right kind
of bait they will spring above the flood of
their sins and sorrows to rsach it. The
Young Men's Christains associations of Am
erica will also do part ofthe work. All over
the continent I saw this summer their new
building, rising. In Vancouvers 1. asked:
"What are you going to put On thnt sightly
place?" The answer was: "A Yoong Men's
ChristtAn association building." AtLihcoln,
Neb., I sadd: "What ate they making tbeee
excavations for?" Answer: "For oor Young
Men's Christian association, building." At
Dcs Moines, Iowa, I saw a noble structure
rising and I asked for what purpose it was
being bnilt and they told me for the Young
Men's Christain association.
These institutions are going to take the
roungmen of this nation for God. Thess
nstitutions seem in better favor with God
and man than eveitbefore. Business men and
capitalists are awaking to tho fact that they
can do nothing betterTn the way of living
beneficence or in last will ondtsatament than
to do what Mr. Marqnand did for Brooklyn
when he made our Young Men's Christian
palace possible. These institutions will get
our young men all over the land into a
stampede for heaven. Thus we will all in
some way help on the work, you with your
ten talents, I with five, somebody else with
.three. It is estimated that to irrigate the
arid and desert lands of America as
they ought to be irrigated, it will cost
about 9100,000,000 dollars to gather the
waters into reservoirs. As much contribu
tion and effort as that would irrigate with
gospel influence all the waste places of this
continent. Let ns by prayer and contribu
tion and right living all help to Ml the reser
voirs. You will carry a bucket and you a
cup, and even a thimblefull would help. And
after a while God will send the floods of
mercy so gathered pouring down over all the
land, and some of us on earth and some of
us in heaven will sing with Isaiah: "In the
wilderness waters nave broken out and
streams in the desert," and with David:
"There is a river the streams whereof shall
