Picked Persimmons on Old Newton County Farm.

Senator A. Halleck and family drove over to Morocco Sunday and there met and, took as passenger in their car John C. Jenkins, of Nelight, Neb. Senator Halleck and Mr. Jenkins were raised together on adjoining farms in Newton county, near Beaver Lake and they made a trip over to the old home place Sunday afternoon. When both were boys Mr. Jenkins’ father returned from a trip to Missouri bringing some small persimmon trees which fie set out along the Beaver lake ditch. Now the trees are 25 feet high and they are the only persimmon trees in this part of Indiana so far as known to us. There are several bushels of fruit on the trees but they are not yet ripe, a succession xifr frosts or a freeze being necessary to ripen them. Two of the persimmons were left at our offipe and we find that few people who see them know what they are. Mr. Jenkins is engaged in the abstract and insurance business in Nebraska, where he has lived for the past thirty years. He was a delegate to the conservation congress which met last week at Indianapolis and was spending a few days with old home scenes.

Preacher Would Like to See Roosevelt Made King.

The bull moose meeting and concert was liberally attended Thursday night. Ten automobile loads from neighboring towns were here to swell the crowd. Hon. Fred Landis was not here as advertised. Rev. A L. Martin said that he would rather see Theodore Roosevelt crowned king of the United States during his life than to see either of the old parties in power. Clifford Jackman spoke for about an hour and a half and put up some good arguments. Both speakers were very abusive of the republican and democratic parties. The above is taken from the Burnettsville News, a paper published in White county. Rev. Martin is the pastor of the Christian church at Monticello and the progressive candidate for representative of White and Jasper counties. He was elected to defend the character of Albert J. Beveridge at the meeting held here two weeks ago. He has been making speeches throughout White and Jasper counties and his enthusiasm has evidently overcome his judgment. We scarcely think that there are a dozen people in the district who would concur in the minister’s preference to see Roosevelt king rather than see either of the old parties in power. That is carrying hero worship entirely too far. Even the immortal Lincoln, in whom the people learned to have unbounded confidence, would hardly have received much support if he had been an aspirant as a king. And even as we know Lincoln’s work today, we would not be willing to crown him king if he were to come back to us with all the added glory of a half century in heaven. Rev. Martin is evidently so blind in his enthusiasm for Roosevelt that he would make his work as a minister of the Gospel second to his promulgation of the Roosevelt doctrine.

HANGING GROVE.

The township is unloading a few cars of crushed stone. Sam Robinson, of Morocco, visited relatives here a few days last week. Mrs. J. R. Phillips is on the sick list and has been quite poorly for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Johns went to Monon Saturday evening for a short visit. Mabel Lowman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Lowman, is quite sick at this writing. Dick Potts and family have moved to McCoysburg from Rensselaer. He works for W. S. Lowman. R. W. Searight, of Logansport, called on Roy Bussell and family Sunday afternoon. He made the trip on his motorcycle. Wilson Searight, of near Logansport, returned to his home Monday after a short visit with Chas. Bussell and family and other relatives. Chas. Bussell and family, R. L. BusselLand family, Wilson Searight and Mr. and Mrs. Alnold Luers took dinner with Wm. E. Jacks and family Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lefler returned home Sunday evening from Rensselaer after a short visit with their daughter, Mrs. Estel Osborne and family. 7 Miss Jennie Parker, s of Mitchell, S. Dak., who has been visiting friends and relatives in Jasper county for some five weeks, will start for her home today. Dora Phillips, Minnie Johnson, Jennie and Ethel Parker attended a hazelnut party in Barkley Tuesday. The occasion was for Miss Jennie Parker, who leaves for her home this week. Mr. and Mrs. Ross and two children returned home Sunday evening from Elwood, where they have been visiting relatives since Wednesday. Mr. Ross’ mother lives at Elwood and this was his first visit home for three years. Hershel Ray and wife, of Gary, stopped off at McCoysburg Monday evening for a day’s visit with J. E. Ross and family. Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. Ross and * children, Cecil and ‘Nellie, accompanied the former to Elwood for a few days’ visit with relatives. The republican speaking at McCoysburg Saturday night was well attended, considering the short time It was announced beforehand. Several prominent men were disappointed because They did not hear of the meeting until too late to come. The chief speaker of the evening was L. D. Cary, of Mpnticello, who made some very good remarks. He made his points clear to everyone. Mr, Cary’s speech was followed by A Halleck, Mose Leopold, of Rensselaer, then some of the candidates made short talks, which with a few well directed remarks by ,C. F. Mansfield, of Monticello, 111,, concluded the speaking for the evening. The crowd was extremely attentive to the speakers. There will probably be another republican speaking here before election and it is hoped the date can be announced farther ahead.

THE MAXWELL MYSTERY

[Copyright, The Frank A Munsey Co.)

CHAPTER XIL From the Ups of the Dying. There was nothing to be said. I was silent, because I felt is if the earth had suddenly given way beneath me and all was chaos. Not for a moment did I doubt Fleming Stone’s statement; for his words compelled conviction. But in the confused mass of sudden thoughts that surged through my brain, I seemed to see clearely nothing but Miss Miranda’s placid face, and I cried out involuntarily: “Don’t let his sister know!” Hunt sat like a man stunned. His expression was positively vacant and I think he was trying to realize what Mr. Stone’s announcement meant. “I think that, without telling you of the various steps which led me to this conclusion, I can best prove to you that it is true by asking you to go with me while 1 lay the facts before Mr. Maxwell. I think his reception of what I have to say and the visible effect of my accusation upon him will prove to you beyond any possible doubt his connection with the crime. I am disposed to think he will make a full confession of his crime. Fleming Stone’s words sounded to me like a voice heard in a dream. “It will kill him,” I murmered. “He has heart disease.” When Mr. Sheldon arrived he came directly to us in the library and Stone told* him in a few words of the ordeal we had to undergo. The four of us then went down to Mr. Maxwell’s study. We all went in and Fleming Stone closed the door. He stood for a moment looking directly at Mr. Maxwell and his deep eyes were filled with a great compassion. “Mr. Maxwell,” he said, “we have come to tell you that we have discovered that Philip Maxwell died by your hand.” If any of us doubted Dudley Maxwell’s guilt, all possibility of doubt was at once removed. Instinctively I turned away, but almost immediately I heard Mr. Maxwell’s gasp and I knew that Fleming Stone’s expectations had been verified, and that Mr. Maxwell’s heart had not been able to stand the shock.

Dr. Sheldon sprang to his side, and, with the assistance of the others, laid the unconscious man on the couch. “He is not dead,” said Dr. Sheldon. “And he will soon rally from this, but I feel sure it is a fatal attack. I think he cannot live more than a few hours. As the doctor had surmised, Mr. Maxwell soon rallied and spoke. “Don’t let Miranda know,” he said; “don’t ever let Miranda know.” Fleming Stone stepped forward. “Mr. Maxwell,” he said, “if you will make a full confession in the presence of these gentlemen I will promise you on my honor that I will use every endeavor to keep the knowledge of your guilt from your sister.” “I am ready,” said Dudley Maxwell. “I must begin my story many years back.'' “But you must make it brief,” said Dr. Sheldon. “I cannot allow you to talk long at this time.” Mr. Maxwell proceeded, and Fleming Stone took stenographic notes of his statement. “Twenty-five years ago I lived in California and so did my brother, John. Though not partners, our business interests were closely united in many ways. My brother married, and about a year after Philip’s birth his wife died. Five years later John Maxwell died and left the whole of his large fortune with me in trust for Philip. Although it was supposed at that time that my own fortune was as large or larger than John’s, the reverse was true. I had lost much in speculation. I used this money to make good my losses, trusting to replace it with further gains of my own before Philip should come of age. I was always a cloth-mouthed man and Miranda knew nothing about John’s money. “I came east to live, and after some years the lawyer who was the only one besides myself who knew the circumstances died. My pride and ambition rebelled at giving up my entire fortune to Philip. “On his twenty-first birthday, instead of telling him the truth, I offered him a permanent home at Maxwell Hall and agreed to support him Indulgently and even extravagantly. • “We lived happily enongh for about three years, until one day about, a fortnight ago. That morning I wAs here In my study and had spread out before me the principal papers relating to the trust I had held for Philip. “Suddenly I was called to the telephone, and, thinking to return in a minute, left the papers on my desk. But I was detained at the telephone and when I returned, although there was nobody in sight, it seemed to me the papers had been disturbed. “From that time on Philip was a changed man. His manner toward me confirmed my suspicion that he had discovered my guilt No mention was made of the subject between us, but for more than a week Philip continued to act like a man crushed by a sadden disaster. “Last Monday he wrote a letter to me in which he told me that he had discovered the truth, and that he felt he was entitled to an explanation. This I knew I could not give, nor was I willing to face my nephew’s well-de-served condemnation and the exposure of my treachery to the public. “Monday evening I sat In my study and decided that the time had come. I had placed my pißtol in my pocket, and had intended to go up to my own room and there expiate my guilt toward my brother and his son. “At that moment Mr. King happened to come into my study, and mentioned

that Philip and Mildred were In the library. This strengthened my purpose, for I felt sure that Philip was even then telling Miss Leslie that he was in reality a rich man. “As I crossed the back part of the hall I felt an impulse to look once more on Philip’s face.'l knew I could step out on the balcony and look in at the library window unobserved. "It has always been my habit when going out into the night air to catch up any coat from the hatstand and throw it around me. I did this mechanically and it chanced to be Gilbert Crane’s automobile coat. “I went up the back stairs, putting the coat on as I went. Instinctively putting my hands into the pockets, I felt there the cap and goggleß. “It was then that the evil impulse seized me. I saw my beautiful home with its rich appointments, and like a flash it came to me that Philip should be the one to give up all and not I. “I realized, as by an inspiration, that tae gogles and a turned-up coat collar •would be ample disguise, and I thought the crime would be attributed to an outside marauder. “The rest you know. Philip recognized me. But Miss Leslie did not. That is all.” Mr. Maxwell fell back. But Fleming Stone leaned forward and said distinctly to Mr. Maxwell: “Wait—did you refill the inkstand?” “Yes,” said Mr. Maxwell, with a sudden revival of strength, “yes, I returned to the room late that night, picked up the inkstand, washed it, refilled it and replaced it. The bronze horse I picked up and replaced before leaving the room the first time.” Here Mr. Maxwell’s strength seemed to leave him all at once. On the verge of total collapse, he said again, “Don’t let Miranda know” —and then sank into unconsciousness. “He will probably not rally again,” said Dr. Sheldon. “I think his sister should be notified at once of his illness. Bnt we shall all agree that she must not know of his crime.” In justice to the innocent, Fleming Stone and I went at once to Inspector Davis and asked that Gilbert Crane be released. The order for release was sent immediately, and at last we were free -to ask Fleming Stone a few questions, “How did you do it?” cried Hunt, in his abrupt way. “How did you do it so soon?” cried I, no less curious. “It was not difficult,” said Fleming Stone, in that direct way of his, which was not over-modest, but simply truthful. “Mr. King’s statement, which was the first one I heard, showed me that, although Mr. Crane’s alibi from ten o’clock till half past ten depended entirely upon his own uncorroborated word, yet Mr. Maxwell’s alibi was equally without verification. “I had not talked with Mr. Maxwell ten minutes before I concluded he was a man with a secret I found the crumpled letter in the waste basket. This was addressed to Dudley Maxwell, and was probably begun and discarded for the one which Philip wrote and sent to his uncle. “The most convincing clue was given to me last evening by Mr. Maxwell. You remember, Mr. King, that I took each membir <qf the household to the study separately. When I interviewed Mr. Maxwell there I took care not to alarm him, but rather to put him at his ease as much as possible. “Noticing a well-worn foot-rest, I felt sure that it was his habit to sit with his feet up on it In hopes of his taking this position, I asked him to show me just how he was sitting when the news of the crime was brought to him.

“As I surmised, he sat down in his big armchair and put his feet upon the foot-rest. This gave me an opportunity to examine the soles of his shoes, and I discovered on one of them a large stain of a dull, purplish red. The stain made by red ink is indelible and of a peculiar tinge, so that I felt sure this was the man at whom the inkstand had been thrown, and who had unknowingly stepped upon a wet spot of red ink. “Owing to the awkward goggles he wore, and, too, the excitement of the moment, he probably did not notice the ink at all. When he returned later the spots had sunk into the crimson rug and partly dried. The shoes were light house shoes, and probably he did not wear them out of doors, for dampness or hard wear would have tended to obliterate the stain. “As it was, the color could plainly be seen. 1 am sure that a chemical test would prove it to be a stain of red ink.” Now my story Is all told —all but a little. Mr. Maxwell did that night, and Dr. Sheldon at once took Miss Miranda to his own home, and kept her there, safely out of reach of gossip, until she went to Colorado to live with her sister. Her nerves were shattered, and she begged so piteously that she might not be obliged to enter the door of Maxwell Hall again that her wishes were willingly respected. The rest of us remained at Maxwell Hall until the sister, Hannah, came to take charge and to take Miss Miranda home with her. “It is a case,” I said to Irene Gardiner, “which proves your theory—the murder of Philip Maxwell was brought about solely by opportunity. “My chance remark to Mr. Maxwell that the young people were in the library; the inadvertant snatching up of Gilbert’s coat; the fact that the goggles and cap were in the pocket; the fact that Philip’s uncle had a weapon with him—all these, things form tiny links in a strong chain of opportune ty.” “But the evil impulses must have been in his heart, or he would never have taken advantage of this opportunity,” said Irene, unconsciously refuting a theory she had herself ady&Dccdl “I would rather not think,” said Fleming Stone in his sweet, serious voice, “that opportunity creates a sinner, or even that it creates an evil impuse. I would rather believe—and I do believe—that opportunity only warms into action an evil impulse .that is lying dormant; and I do not believe that dormant evil impulse is in everybody." (The End.)

PASTOR RUSSELL AT ILLINOIS STATE FAIR

Honor to the Son Means Honor to the Father Also. Work of Calvary Progressing, but Far From iFiushed—Selection of Elect Church the Beginning—Not the Completion, of the Divine Purpose.

drew attention to the fact that for half n century the world has been undergoing a most marvelous revolution along tlie lines of increase of knowledge. He referred briefly to the share of Illinois in this onward march of intelligence. This, he said, is plainly manifest at this Fair in the wonderful display of labor-saving devices, etc. He remarked on the school exhibitions and what they indicate of the progress -of general knowledge .even amongst the young. He remarked also 4>n the improved breeds of live-stock, poultry, etc. This progress belongs to the last fifty years. The fruits and vegetables also, he declared, remind one of Paradise and lead us to wonder if there could have, been more nearly perfect fruit and vegetables there. These things are corroborative of the Bible testimony that we are at the threshold of a glorious Epoch, called in the Scriptures The Reign of Christ for a Thousand Yeurs. Our blessings are the foregleams of coming blessings, which, undoubtedly, will be manyfold greater. The Scriptures, he declared. tell not only of the Six Great Days of the Reign of Sin and Death (each day 1,000 years), but also of the Great Seventh Day of 1,000 years—the Sabbath of rest from toil and sweat of face, the rolling away of the Curse and the pouring out of God’s blessing. So accustomed have we become to the Reign of Sin and Death that many incline to think It the normal condition. But not so. There is no sin in heaven, and the Bible explains that there will be no evidences of the curse on earth at the close of Messiah’s Reign. Father Adam’s disobedience and sin brought the curse, “Dying thou shalt die.” ih.

"In God’s Due Tims.”

Long ago the Omnipotent One could have bound or have destroyed Satan and all rebellious to the Divine arrangements. On the contrary God has permitted evil as a great lesson, until He shall be ready to establish His Kingdom. The foundation of all the coming blessings rests upon the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary. But the first direct result has been the gathering of the Church, the Elect from every nation and denomination. These perfected in the First Resurrection, will constitute the Kingdom class, associated with the Redeemer in His glorious work of the future. Many of us have not appreciated the work of Christ in full; we thought that He died merely to assist the Church. As the Apostle says. He Is indeed the Satisfaction for the Church’s sms. “and not for oUrs only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (I John ii, 2.) His Church will be His associates in His great work of blessing all nations, kindreds and peoples for whom He died, “the Just for the unjust.” The marvels of our day are merely the foregleams of this Thousand-Year-Day of Messiah’s Reign. But we must not expect all the good things that God has promised just yet. Human pride will first be brought low; Injustice will first have'h great punishment—“a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.”—Daniel xii, l.^’ The lifting of the veil of Ignorance has been delayed until now because the effect of the knowledge in an unsanctified heart is to bring discontent. This is the meaning of the restless condition of the world today, which is leading on to anarchy. God graciously withheld the light until now. so that the time of trouble resulting majr be duly checked by His Kingdom, which is about to be set up. and for which we have so long prayed. “Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth.” &

“Every Knee Shall Bow.”

As Messiah’s Kingdom shall progress In its establishment, darkness, ignorance, superstition, will continue to yield before the light of the Sun of Righteousness, until the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God, until the True Light shall lighten every man—until there shall be no need for one to say to his neighbor. Know thou the Lord, for all shall know Him. In that glorious Day the world will have abundant opportunity, not only for knowing, but also for coming to obedience. The Redeemer will be the Helper, the glorious King, to reign and rule, and the glorious Priest, to instruct and uplift; and the Ctuirch ivill be His associates and joint-heirs. The world will then get the great blessing of human Restitution and uplift, and all who refuse shall be destroyed in the (Second Death. Then will come to pass the promise of our text, that “Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, to the glory Of God.”

Springfield, 111., Oct. 6.—Pastor Russell arrived yes te r day, the guest of the State Board. In his evening address the text was taken from Philippians ii. 10. 11: “At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess.” Pastor Russell

Interesting Items Taken From Crown Point Star.

Governor Marshall is making a great fuss about the new race track which is to start at Porter, in the north end of Porter county, on October 12th, and threatens to “pinch” the whole outfit if any gambling is allowed, which seems quite strange, inasmuch as one of the Chicago gambling outfits is running full blast In Lake county every afternoon, betting on the races, and fitted out with gambling devices. The place is located on the South Bend electric line between Gary and East Chicago, on the banks of the Calumet, near the Cudahy cleanser plant, and the electric line transports the sports out from Chicago each afternoon. The pool room is a barn structure with a high board fence around it, which is guarded by sentinels or look-outs, and to get into the place, it is said that one must come with good recommendations and be known to the sentinels. The little building looks Innocent to the uninitiated. It is patronized mostly by Chicago sports, who are watched so closely m that city that it is hard to operate, and the clique have moved •to Lake county’s dunes. The nine homing pigeons belonging to Messrs. Wissman and Crawturned loose at Indianapolis Sunday morning at 6:45, made a poor showing on account of rain and wind which was bad south of here. One bird, considered a slow flyer by Mr. Wissman, landed here at 3:15 that afternoon, and up to Tuesday morning no more had come, but they are all expected to get home in time. This same lot came from Logansport the week before in about two hours, and if they get back they will be liberated at Cincinnati next Sunday. John Brown looked over their Kankakee ranch last week and believes they have a thousand acres of corn safe from fros-t that will run from fifty to sixty bushels per acre, and he considers that a conservative estimate. Their large acreage of Hungarian, which promised Well at first, was nearly smothered by weeds later on, and that he doesn’t bank on for any more than the seed sown. They are now finishing two 200-ton silos, which they intend filling, but believe they started about ten days too late to get the best results from the corn.
