F. Brendel, and which is doing nicely at this time. The storm of Tuesday morning was surely a good one for the farmers of this district in the fact that a great deal of water fell which was badly needed at the time.

Murray was well represented at the celebration of the Fourth of July on last Monday where they mingled with the people from all over the county as well as Otoe and Sarpy counties of this state and many from the state of Iowa. The way that Mur ray assisted in the work of making this excellent celebration is highly appreacited b5r the city of Platts mouth. Give Excellent Entertainment. The Community Club which met last Saturday evenirg for the pur pose of giving aijentertinment and getting the people together produc ed an excellent program, which was due much to the efforts of Charles Howard, who surely did rustle for the success of the enterprise. The entertainment was .given on the lawn of the Presbyterian church, and was attended by a large number of the people interested inx the success of the community movement. All the numbers were surely enjoyed and the spirit of community works was given a great boost. This is the first of the entertainments for this sum mer, but it is not expected to be the last. At the election cf officers the following selections were made: Captain Harrison L. Gayer, president of the association, W. secretary and E. S. Tutt, F. Graham, treasurer. Might Hun for County Surveyor. W. L. Seybolt, who is a very clever man, and well qualified to fill any Ford car if there are enouth others in the car with him has consented under pressure to allow his name to be presented later on as a candidate of the tall men's poditic-al association of Murray and vicinity. Mr. Say bolt would only run on a platform of justice and equanimity, and must declare for light drinks and heavy feed with more than equal rights for the women, and that all men under six feet shall be banished to some desert island. Ke'has the back ing in this of W. G. Boedeker and is opposed by Louis Ilallas and E. S. Tutt. Unless it can be made unani mous, Mr. Seybolt says he will not allow his name to appear. Feeling Pretty Fine. Once S. G. Latta who passed his eighty-eighth birthday anniversary in July 2nd. was born in Pennsylvania SS years ago, and came to Platts mouth when he was just nineteen years of age, and has resided in this county for the most of the time since then. He was a member of the Union army in the civil war, and is a very active gentleman notwithstanding his years and was in the parade at Platts mouth and is feeling fine, thank you. The Murray Float. The city of Murray did itself very proud, whe it produced the excel lent float which t had in the par ade on the Fourth at Plattsmouth, the float was constructed about the new Hudson car which was recently purchased by Frank Mrasek. the car and float being a beauty, and was driven by Earl Mrasek. who well re presented the young folks of the city.

Brlgg T H-I-K-H-:-!-!- Golden Text: "Traiii up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Training a Man for Work The governor on a steam engine and many other kinds of machinery is a device put there to regulate the speed and power in comparison with the work to be done. Could it be that man is more astute than the creator of the universe. When the contingency arose, when there was a crisis at hand, when hope had all but vanished, and the future, yea even the present looked dark, there arose a leader for the occasion. In our own American history we have concrete example of this state ment. Washington arose at a time when it looked as though ah was lost for the new nation which destiny was to bring into existence, but the conditions of the times had produced a man for the occasion and the pur pose of making a new nation trium phed a purpose that included the establishment and preservation of liberty, the populating of a land on which all men might worship God the creator of the universe according to the distates of their own conscience and the commands of the Father in his Holy book, as they saw fit, with out molestation. Again, when the controversy over the mooted slavery question in which the black man was the bone of con tention came up to command the at tention of a divided people and the Union seemed near dissolution as a result of division between the North and the South, there was fought on one of the great battlefields a struggle to test whether this union should be able to preserve this heitage of lib erty and freedom to the coining gen erations. The great man who was educated in the backwoods and who studied by the Hght of a pine faggot, and later obtained his training as a lawyer only at the greatest of sacri fice, was an instrument in God's hand to accomplish his purpose. On that great battlefield he said. "We cannot dedicate this hallowed spot, but it is more the part for us to dedicate our selves to the purpose of continuing ! the wojk whih those who struggled here have so nobly advanced." The immortal Lincoln was right when he was studying hard into the wee small hours of the night to fit himself for the place to which the great Jehovah was to select him. namely to sa've a nation which, the sins of perfidity aggressiveness and avarice on the part of the people had nearly succeeded in destroying. The hand of God had undoubtedly directed the education of this great emancipator and it was no more a happenstance that he came into power at the critical time in our history than the direction of the wind from day to day or the changing seasons of the year. Men trained in Bibiical wisdom see in it a working out of the plans of God, and know that mIi at ever the future holds for nations as well as individuals lies wholly v ithin his province. It was the hand of God manifest ing the working out of his infinite plans which allowed the Israelites to become enslaved in Egypt and then permitted the tasks imposed upon them to be made so heavy they would no longer remain slaves, but should thriw off the burdens of bondage and become a great nation of freemen, founded to further carry out the plans of His wisdom. While the bondage was growing more and more bitter and so severe that few could stand it and with in trigue prevalent on every hand aim ed to further reduce them to a con dition of absolute slavery. God was at the same time educating a man for a leader and instructor who was to eventually lead them out of bondage to within sight of the promised land apnd establish himself as the great est leader of the ages. So the Great Jehovah had the court of Egypt educate this man for the purpose of becoming a leader of his people. fTTaroah had sent forth the edict that every boy child born to the cap tive Israelites was to be killed or 'thrown into the river Nile along the thanks of which the Israelites were lo jcatod and which was infested with man-eating reptiles that meant cer tain death. The boy Moses had an older brother and sister, and from his birth was a very likeable lad. so ;,e Was secreted hy the fond mother until he became three months of age. when he could not well longer be hid from the prving eyes of the Egyptian i soldiers. Being puzzled as to what to 'do to prevent her offspring's death, and selecting a place along the banks! of the river where it would be as safe from aligators and oth-?r dangers, both human and animal, placed the boat containing its precious load into ' daU(fhter of Pharoah often came for iTn TTprp am1(ist the nrotection foxl not think it was beyond the prov- eyes of the Egyptian soldiers had been unable to see it. When the boat was opened, the little babe who no doubt was hun gry, sent up his only pfea, which was a wail, and the heart of the king's daughter was touched. Despite the fact that she knew it was a He brew child and that her father had sent forth an edict for its destruction along with all other boy babies of its race, the girl was willing to go against the wishes and commands of her father, and sent for a nurse to care for the child. It so happened that she who came was the child's own mother. The king's daughter, doing a great service for humanity (though she knew it not) provided a way for the care and education of this babe, who was to become a great leader in Israel, by paying for his keep with his own mother as care taker. When the boy Moses had become a lad of sufficient years so he did not need the care of his mother so badly, he was returned to the custody of the daughter of Pharoah, and was educated in the court of the king un--til he was forty years of age. This afforded an opportunity for education in all the lines possible that were to serve him in good stead in the after years when he should be the leader of the Children of Israel during their forty years of wandering in the wil derness before entering the promised land a?nr"made him the most capable law giver of the ages. With the passing of forty years of life, Moses had rounded out into a man of mature judgment and per spective, well versed in the manner of government in Egypt, as wellas the business and commercial interests of the nation in which his people were held in bondage. He had also been instructed by his parents in the ordinances of God and their applica tion to the lives of men. Strikes for Israel's Freedom One day as Moses was out near the capital city he saw as was the practice, a slave driver lashing an Israelite, a slave, while he was at work in order to obtain a little more labor out of the poor workman. Moses was indeed indignant at the cruel treatment which one of his fel low tribesmen w,as receiving, and so looking every way and thinking he was not observed, slew the Egyptfan and hid the body in the sand. While the one who had been rescued from the lash of the oppressor was surely pleased to be thus relieved of the beating which he was receiving and went his way when the day was over, Moses thought nothing more of the incident until the following day when he was out where the people were working and two Israelites were quar reling and indeed fighting each other. Moses went up to them and asked why they were thus fighting, admon ishing them to love one another-and be kind to each other. One of the men who was sore on account of be ing thus reproved, spoke in a loud tone, saying, "Will you slay us as you did the Egyptian yesterday?" Moses knew that his act was not a secret and reasoned with himself, "If I stay here, Pharoah will slay me." Therefore, he departed, going to the land of Israel just east of and bordering on the Red sea, where he attached himself td a sheep and cat tle man of that country. For another forty years he lived here and mar ried the daughter of this man, in the meantime tending his flocks and be coming acquainted with the country and its resources, all in accordance with the infinite plan of God that he should be fitted to fulfill the com mand of the Lord when the time to depart should come. Here for forty years he meditated on the things which he had learned during the time of vhis tutorship in the courts of Pharoah and at the home of his parents. Here we will leave Moses with his sheep and-the years of meditation in the wilderness. His was a most interesting life and it will pay you to get further light into the doings of this great emancipator through active contact with a Sun day school of your choice, during the present quarter, when the lessons will center about the exodus of the Child ren of Israel from their Egyptian captivity, their long journey thru the wilderness and the final success that crowns their efforts to be freed of the opressive yoke of bondage. Any Sunday sf-hool will welcome you to join in the interesting three months of study that lie ahead of us, and you will see in many of the occurrences the outstretched guiding hand of God, who as we said earlier in this discussion, really guides the destinies of nations as well as of in dividuals.

The favors To File Two Murder Charges at Tecumseh County Attornev to Accuse State ! Sheriff and Deputy of Shoot ing Held in Lincoln.' Tecumseh. Neb.. July 6. The en- 'tire day was used in the coroner's , inquest over the body of Ayilliam . Trute. Tucumseh man. wTlo was fatally shot by Dale Holden, youth ful special officer, last Saturday night. Trute died Monday morning in a Beatrice hospital. Ten witnesses were examined, in cluding the wife of the slain man, Df. A. P. Fitzsimmons, physician, who attended Trute. Sheriff Elmer Nelson and others. The inquest was conducted by County Attorney John Davey. assisted by John Yaeg r, chief deputy county attorney of Douglas county, Omaha. The finding of the jury was that Trute came to his death from wounds inflicted by Holden by shoot ing with a .32 caliber revolver, and recommended that the county at torney prosecute Holden on a charge of manslaughter. The jury, also recommended that L. E. Shurtleff of Tecumseh, deputy state sheriff who deputized Holden and put him on guard at the Trute barn, he, held for further investiga tion. 9 Mr. Davey makes the statement that he will issue warrants for both Holden and Shurtleff charging them with murder in the first degree. Both men are at the penitentiary for safe keeping, and did not appear at the inquest. Trute will be buried Wednesday afternoon. McMullen "Whitewashes" State Lincoln, July 6. The state takes no responsibility for the death of William Trute, 4 5, of Tecumseh. who died Monday as a result of having been shot Saturday nieht by Dale Holden 21, who is said to have been deputized by State Specral Deputy Sheriff L. E. Shurtleff. Governor McMullen stated today that while Shurtleff was a regularly appointed deputy state sheriff, he had no authority to appoint Holden. Should Shurtleff be found guilty of exceeding his authority by an investi gation that is being conduc ted, , his immediate dismissal will follow, Mc Mullen stated in the absence of State Sheriff W. C. Condit. McMullen ex pected Condit to return to Lincoln during the afternoon. McMullen, in answering the sug gestion that enforcement of liquor laws be delegated to county sheriffs instead of the appointing of special agents, stated that he was continually besieged with letters from -varions parts of the state for aid in enforce ment of the laws. Shurtleff Appointment Protested The incident served to recall that a petition filed by residents of John son county a year ago protested against the appointment of Shurtleff, alleging that he had fired into a car filled with girls on the assumption that it was a bootleg car. McMullen stated that at the same time the petition of protest had been filed, another bearing the names of prominent judges and residents had been filed requesting that Shurtleff be appointed. McMullen asserts that he relied on State Sheriff Condit to settle the matter, and he instructed him not to appoint special deputies with whom he was nrt personally ac quainted and knew whether or not they were responsible. One mistake, McMullen admitted today, was that he did not immediate ly dismiss State Game Warden J. C. Jenkins after Jenkins had fired on the car of George Brandeis at Valen tine, Nebr. That the possession of liquor or game shot out of season is not justification for shooting and en dangering life, even though posses sion was established, is the conclu sion of Governor McMullen. The prominence of tlie Omaha party on which Jenkins fired he gave s his reason for not dismissing the game warden. "If. I had dismissed him, I would have been bombed from every part of the state as having interfered with the enforcement of law because of the prominence of J.he men in.ihe Omaha party," he stated. HERE FE0M CALIFORNIA From Wednesday's Daily George Hall, a brother of Dr. J. H. Hall, of this city, and for many years a resident of the vicinity of Alvo. arrived back in Cass county on Sunday evening, making the trip from Los Angeles, California, by car.
