Mexico City, July 26. Prospects j
for a peaceable solution of the poli
tical crisis resulting from the assas
sination of President-elect Obregon,
appeared brighter today.
Obregon leaders voiced their con
fidence that President Calles was
making every effort to trace down
those responsible for the slaying and
to bring them to justice. Aaron
Saenz, governor of Nueva Leon, and
one of the acknowledged chiefs of
the Obregon followers, declared that
his partisans would support the
president. Governor Saenz has been
mentioned as the most likely candi
date for the provisional presidency
when Calles' term expires Dec. 1.
His support of Caless, therefore, is
considered significant and has re
vived the idea that the president may
pureed himself provisionally if a
wpv ran ne rouna unaer me con
ctitntion
nortir.r n;! nnnealed to Ohre
g0n followers thruout the country to
UDhold the principles of the revo-
( Mexican family.
The statement expressed satisfac
tion with the efforts of the author
ities in their investigation of the
slaying.
Governor Saenz said the Obregon-
ista party considered it its duty to
consolidate the ties with the political
institutions of the country in full
support of President Calles
Ths party, he said, would 'super
Vise the integration of the congress
which is to deal 'with the situation
arising from the slaying of the presi-
dent-elect and will continue to lunc
! tion as before.

BARTH IS NOT TROUBLED
Omaha, July 31. "Not guilty."
This is the verdict that Conrad Barth
Burlington special agent, charger
with manslaughter in the death of
Gordon Grigor. expects to hear.
Arrested and released on bond late
yesterday afternoon at Wahoo. Barth
today began laying plans for his de
fense. "I am not guilty of thr
charge," he said, "and I expect ?
speedy trial and acquittal.
"Of course.' I am sorry that the
boy was killed. Only a stone man
wouldn't be. But I wasn't presen
at the time of his injury, which re
sluted in his death and I do not
know how it happened.
"The story of Jake Bird that 7
wa-i present and caused Grigor"
death is wholly uncorroborated. But
I suppose the authorities on the
strength of this story, feel it is theii
duty to file these charges."
"And the damage suit against the
railroad company." he continued
"may have something to do with the
prssure evidently exerted on the
Saunders county authorities to bring
the charge against me."
Barth will not be defended by the
legal department of the Burlington
altho It will co-onerate with his law.

defense attorney today.
IN SYMPATHY WITH SMITH
Des Moines, la., July 27. A
blanket endorsement of Governor
Smith's position on the prohibition
, question was given late today by the
Iowr. democratic state conventior
This sentiment, contained inj
sympathy with the presidential nom
iness views on the "chaotic" condi
tions resulting from lax enforcement
of the prohibition law;.
An attempt to write into the reso

sentiments of Governor Smith "un

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, August 5th
By M. S. Brlggs
Golden Text: "I know how to be
abased, and I know how to abound."
Phil. 4:12.
Paul, the Missionary
The matter of missions is a world
force and away beyond that for they
have their inception in heaven, and
from there was Christ himself sent
as a missionary to this world, com
ing with a message of love, that he
might reclaim man from his fallen
estate and redeem him to that heri
tage which was the design of the
Father, for did not "God so love the
world that He gave his only begot
ten Son that whosoever believeth on
him, might not perish but have ever
lasting life." True, God the Father,
could have made it impossible for sin
to enter the world, but as man want
ed a hand in the government of this
world, he was so allowed and there
fore he was and is expected to do
his portion in its reclamation.
Christ so taught and his teaching
you what you
thus giving man a portion in the sal
vation of the world. God wanted and
still wants the co-operation of man
in his work. Therefore was Barna
bas and Saul sent to the foreign and
pagan countries with the message of
love of Christ. Wherever the story
of the Christ is told and believed, the
world grows better. From the crude
things used by the barbarians, and
the thoughts which they thought, the
scale of civilization has arisen and
the conditions of the world at large
have grown better. Instead of the
mothers throwing their babes to the
crocodiles and aligators, there is a
good home made for them and in
stead of sacrificing them to idols, by
burning them, good care is taken of
them and they are reared under an
atmosphere of love and refinement.
The missionary has done the work
which the pirate and the savage has
left undone. The hospitals, the
schools, the churches, the libraries
and all things which bless our lands
force in the wake of the message of.
Christ when he said, "Go into all the
world and teach my gospel." So we
see Barnabas and Paul (for such we
will new call him. going forth to tell
the world of the wonderful love of
the Father and the Son.
Paul Healed a Cripple
Following the teaching of Barna
bas and Paul, which was of much in
terest to the people, the Jews stir
red up the people against the mis
sionaries, and they were forced to
walk out of the town, and went to
Ironium. where they went to the
synagogue of the Jews and here they
preaciied with great success. They
remained at Iconium for a long
lime, telling the story of the love of
the Master, but as the Jews came
from Antioch, the apostles were even
tually forced to leave Iconium and
they went to Lystra and Derbe.
At Lystra, Paul healed a man who
hed been a cripple from the time of
his birth. When Paul saw him, he
cried out impulsively, "Stand upright
on thy Teet." The man leaped and
when the people saw it they cried
with a loud voice, "The god have
come rdown to us in the likeness of
man." The people being heathen
and very superstitious, were inclined
to make gods of both the apostles and
called Barr.aba:5 Jupiter and Paul
Mercurious, and were preparing to
sacrifice to them, under the direction
of the priest of Jupiter, when Paul
and Barnabas ran in among them
and after much effort succeeded in
diverting their minds, saying, "We
are only men like you, with li't:e pas
sions and you should turn from such
ceremonies and believe on the God of
the universe, which made the heaven
and the earth and all that is in or
on them. With all their effort, the
people were barely restrained from
their purpose. However, the people
were divided and the Jews stirred up
ti, nnnnio until in th end a mob
drew Paul outside of the city where
they stoned him. like he had suffer-
ed others to stone Stephen in the
years before and left him for dead.
but after a while he recovered and
hn friend took him into the city.

on the morrow he and Barnabas
went to Derbe.
