Teleorrauh News by Direct Vire from All Over Indiana
Laporto, Ind.. Aug:. 11. The city is shocked over dist-Iosurcs made in the private life of Kov. Samuel V. Williams, pastor of the First Christian church of this city for the last year, r.r-fore the oflieial board of the church Thnrsdav night he made a confession
that for six years he had led a dual life, and that -while he had preached to people on Sundays, and had talked to them of the sinfulness of -worldly life, and had exhorted them to be Christians and live lives of purity, he himself, had been practicing the very opposite.
Made Their Hair Stand on End. So amazed were the members of the
board that at the conference following
the pastor's confession, they decided that he must be mentally unbalanced,
and that many of the things which he
had confessed to committing had eith
er been imagined or exaggerated. Kev.
Williams' confession to the official board was' voluntary and not the result of any discoveries that members of the church had made, though the conduct of the pastor had been
watched by a few for some time owing to the charge made some months
ago by a well-known woman here, that
he had offered her indignities. This
charge was held to be absurd.
Anonymous Persecution Follows. Since then Williams has been the
object of every sort of persecution
from anonymous sources, and this is
known to have weighed heavily on his
mind. The board believes that part of
his indiscretions, admitted by the pas
tor are true, but that the larger part are due to hallucination as the result of remorse and also as the result of
persecution. Williams is married, and
he admitted that he and his wife had
ben livingalmost a dog's life for some
time, owing to incompatibility of tem
peranient. The couple Is now sepa rated. An Extraordinary Instance.
An alienist examined Williams. lie
made a statement that coincided with
conclusions reached by the board, that
the pastor is suffering from temporary
mental derangement, and tnat lie is
not responsible for all that he may
say. Though admitting other derelic
tions, including spending one Saturday night last winter in Chicago, and coni-
r. back to Laporte Sunday morning
and preaching a sermon on "Purity of Character," that by members of the
church, was declared to be the great est they had ever heard, Kev. Wil
liams denied that the charges made
by the woman who had been persecut ing him had any foundation in fact.
STEKSLAKD A GEEAT THIEP Size of Ilia Rascal its Grow Hourly Foigery by Wholesale Developed , in the Investigation. Chicago, Aug. 11. Stupendous forgery frauds have been unearthed in tha investigation of the looted Milwaukee Avenue State bank. More than a hundred notes forged with the signatures of bank depositors, but with thd mounts left bjank, were discovered This development, however, was onlj one of many that folloAved the in quisition of Cashier Henry W. Hering, conducted by Assistant State's Attorney Harry Olson at the bank. Sensations came thick and fast. The questioning of Cashier Hering brcught more woe for the depositors. Inspector Shippy declared that he was certain the bank held at least $T00.000 of forged notes. lie declared further that the amount mlsht be much
higher. These revelations lead the of
ficials to fear that the depositors, instead of receiving about TO per cent
of their money, may get a much small
er percentage. The enormity of the steal ctowf each hour. Stensland's de
falcation will reach nearlv $2,000,000.
Frank Kowalski, paying teller of the
looted bank, shot and killed himself la;t evening at his home, 340 North Carpenter street. No charges had been brought against him in connection with the failure of the bank.

James H.Rice, Once Auditor of Indi
ana, Said to Have Been a Defaulter.
Indianapolis, Aug. 11. The, expert
accountants who have been going over the books in the several offices in the state house for three months have re
ported to Governor llanly that James H. Ilice. who was auditor of state from 1SS3 to 1SS7, went out of office a defaulter in the sum of $20,000. The
books of his office show that he re
ceived the money, but there is no receipt on file showing that lie paid it
out nor do the books of the treasurer show that it was ever received by that
oflieial.
Uice is also shown in the report of
the experts to have retained insurance fees, as did his predecessors and suc
cessors in office, the aggregate of these fees being nearly ."0.(XM). Rice died fourteen years ago and his estate has" been settled up, but the governor thinks he can recover the amount
which is shown to have been em
bezzled.

ELIZABETH TOWNE.
an age when she was scarcely more than a child herself, Elizabeth must needs go to thinking besides of the
great problems of life, and that disturbed her even more than material
troubles. In the midst of hard phvsical
work and inharmonious environment, however, she thought her problems successfully out and began to tell oth
ers how to do the same. She marches
on joyfully, face forward, living the
Golden Rule and having ever a brave,
strong faith in what Florence Morse
Ivingsley calls the encircling good. She
has resolutely put the dumps behind
her. of what nature soever. So thimrs
come her way. She Is a leader in the so called new thought movement. As to healing diseases without medicine
she says, "What was possible once Is
possible now."
Mrs. Towne was born and brought

father crossed the continent in a

the journey required six months.
Annie S. Peck, Mountain Climber.
The slender woman who attempts the ascent of Mount Huascaran, in the Peruvian Andes, the present summer expects to be successful this time without a doubt. She started on her journey alone. She particularly wants no white man along, saying her Indian boys are worth ten times as much as men of her own race. On her former try at Huascaran the cold became so intense near the top that the Indians could no longer endure it. The thermometer marked 20 degrees below zero. This time Miss Peck has among her luggage Eskimo clothing, which she expects to sew fast upon her natives and thus protect them from freezing. No one has ever yet climbed Huascaran to Its summit. Miss Peck's ascent of Mount Sorata, in Bolivia, several years ago made a record for mountain climbing in South America. Miss Peck is a delicate lookig blond woman, who is not the least delicate, however. She has grit and mind power enough to carry her through anything.
Woman Not Afraid of Highwaymen.
Fifteen "bad men" swooped down upon a small Iowa town one Saturday not long ago and took possession.
They were armed and desperate and
robbed and looted stores and private
houses. The men of the place, taken
by surprise, were completely terrorized, and the highwaymen worked their will until Monday night. Then at midnight three of them made a raid on a liquor store kept by John Fairgraves. As usual, they lined the men in the place, hands up, against the wall and began going through them, the proprietor of the place included.
Mrs. Fairgraves lives over the store, and she heard the noise. Snatching a revolver, she ran down. She pointed
the pistol at one fellow and said,
"Hand tlat gun over or I'll blow your head off!" He handed it over. With a
weapon in each hand Mrs. Fairgraves then faced the other two desperadoes and forced them to throw up their hands. It was "so sudden," you see. By that time- some of the frightened men recovered their presence of mind and helped Mrs. Fairgraves laud the three fellows in jail. By next day the men of the place got courage enough, under the leadership of. Mrs. Fairgraves, to drive the re?t of the gang out of town. MARCIA WILLIS CAMPBELL.
