The entire address dealt with the important role, Mr. Nelson has played in helping human kind by his philanthropic methods, how he has cared for the poor by placing them on a level and co-partners ia his business. He stated that Mr. Nelson shortly after serving in the civil war and at he age of about twenty started into a plumbing nrm in st. L.ouis at a ! small salary of about $10 per week in the capacity of clerk and rapidly rose in the estimation of the proprietors. He afterward bought out one of the partners in the business and finally assumed control of the entire establishment. His First Philantrophic Work.

Shares were offered in the co-operative store and factory of two kinds, the preferred and common. The settlement flourished from the start. Libraries, gymnasiums and other institutions for the betterment of the employes and co-partners were established. There are no churches in the city today, but according to the statement of Rev. Caldwell there is no more law abiding ijty in the country than LeClaire, 111. The town does not have any political government but every man respects the rights of others and judges his actions accordingly. The factory and settlement has proven highly profitable and every working man connected with the institution now owns his own home and cares for the incapacitated workmen. A recent quarterly dividend amounted to $109,000. The citizens of Dublin, the speaker said are more than enthusastic "over the prospects of the new industry, and at the present time Rev.

All workmen will share in the profits and will be given an opportunity to secure homes for themselves, paying for the same on the installment basis. It is probable that Mr. Nelson will visit Dublin in the course of the next few weeks to see the advantages of the location for himself.

MISAPPROPRIATED FUNDS

LAST NIGHT TALL, HANDSOME MAN SLEPT IN PRISON AND HE IS DOOMED FOR FURTHER DAYS THERE. Publishers Prtts-3 New York, Dec. 11. The first conviction of a high official of an insurance company for misuse of nolicvholders funds took place this af ternoon when a trial jury in the criminal branch of the supreme court found George Burnham, Jr., vice-president and general manager of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company guilty of grand larceny. As a result Burnham, who has been a Tter in insurance circles in this city. Is tonight occupying a cell in the Tombs prison where he must remain until Thursday when Justice Greenbaura will impose sentence which cannot be less than one nor more than ten years In prison. Burnham, a tali, handsome man approaching his sixtieth year, turned deathly pale when the Jury announced its verdict. He did not utter a word, but sank into7 his fceat completely unnerved, his fingers plucking aimlessly at his gray side whiskers. His chief councel, former assistant district attorney Rand, served notice that he would appeal. A deputy then led Burnham across the "Bridge of Sighs' to the prison. Ho broke down and wept bitterly while being searched and having hi pedigree taken prior to being locked up in a cell. Burnham was indicted last summer along with his brother, Frederick A. Burnham, president of the Mutual Reserve, and George D. Eldridge, one of the vice-presidents, for grand larceny in the first degree. It was charged that they had used funds of the policyholders to discharge a private claim against President BurnAim. It was also allegfl that they had given 40,000 to Lou Ryan then insurance commissioner, for a favorable report on the condition of the company, then in sn insolvent condition. SHERWOOD RETAINS SEAT Toledo Congressman Wins Suit Brought to Oust Him by McClelland, Republican. Publishers' Press. Columbia, w., xjfcc. 11. General Isaac R. Sherwood will represent the Ninth congressional district in congress. The supreme court by unanimous decision dismissed the suit brought by his Republican opponent, E. G. McClelland, to compel the governor and secretary of state to award him the certificate of election. On the face of the returns. Sherwood, the Democratic-Independent candidate, was elected bj- 46 votes. McClelland claimed that it was illegal to combine the votes cast for Sherwood on both the Democratic and Independent tickets on. the ground that the Dana law, which prevented the placing of a name on more than one ticket, was still in full force and effect. The court, however, held that the law passed by the legislature last winter repealed the Dana law, and that all preceding acts conflicting swept off the statute book3 by the new law passed by the last legislature. The decision of the court was unanimous, but a minority opinion was to the effect that the ballot allowed by a board of elections could not be inquired into after the election was held.

Board of Works Hears That Light, Heat and Power Com" pany Has Been Trying to Get Business of City Plant in an Unfair Manner,

It is like'y that today the Board of Works will issue a statement to the citizens of Richmond in general and to the patrons of the municipal light plant in particular, calling attention to the fact that the city is in position to continue its excellent commercial lighting service, despite the reports circulated that such cannot be done.

While crossing Eighth and Main streets in the past few days, many horses have been seen to fall to their knees, when they come in contact with the street car rails at that point. Yesterday a team of ponies owned by the Richmond Cream Company apparently stumbled in the same manner, but after getting a firm footing they started on a mad run, causing much excitement. They ran as far as St. Mary'a

parish house, where the wagon was upset, and the ponies stopped. When examined closely it was found that the connection carrying the power back to the power house along the rails had become loose and several lengths of the rails were charged to a considerable extent. It is thought the contact of the horse shoes with the fcteel rails shocked the horses to such an extent that they were weakened, causing them to fall as if they had stumbled over somo obstruction. BURROWS1 WANTS SMOOT OUSTED Asks Senate to Declare the Mormon Senator's Seat in Congress Vacant. . MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT SENDS SPECIAL DOCUMENT TO NATIONAL HOUSE ASKS THAT PORTO RICANS BE MADE AMER ICAN CITIZENS. Publishers Tress. Washington, JUtc. 11. At the conclusion of the mpmlng business in the senate Senator Burrows, chairman of tho senate committee on privileges and elections, called up the resolution from that committee declaring that Reed Sinoot is not entitled to a seat as senator t the United States from the state of Utah, and addressed the senate on that subject. Senator Burrows addressed the senate on Smoofs case. He said no proof was submitted to sustain the allegation that Smoot is a polygamist, adding that the recommendation of the committee on privileges and elections in favor of declaring vacant Smoot's seat is not based on such charges. Impeachment is based entirely on the connection of Smoot with the governing body of the Mormon church consisting of the presidency and twelve apostles. He referred to this body as a "hierarchy," and said It dominates the state of Utah, holding practically every official position in the state govof portical interference not only in Utah, but adjoining states, and quoted at length the church manifesto of 1S96 requiring members to obtain the consent of the hierarchy before becoming candidates for officei Smoot was nominated by the heirarchy said Burrows, and the selection ratified by the legislature. "No more cunningly devised scheme could possibly be connected to put the church in politics and make it potential therein than this." Srooot's membership in the church governing body, which Inculcates a belief in polygamy, is conceded. "The evidence Is so complete and overwhelming", he added, "as to leave no doubt as to the truth of the allegation that members of the hierarchy practice polygamy, and are today openly and confessedly defjing the laws of the land prohibiting such crimes.The record Is so shocking as to challenge credulity.
