DKTBOIT , Mich , May 27 , Ex pansion soutimert was rife at thd missionary mass meeting held to night as one tl.o features of the American Baptist missionary anniversaries niversariesir' Wayland lloyt , of Philadcphia , began his add rest- ou the subjcot -Denominational iLXpanRion in Relation to the Work of the Baptist Society , " by quoting from a speech at a children's day celebration in Maasachuotts five years ago , at which tuuo the anti- imperiaiist statesman is reported to have said that the tree of liberty and sclf-govornmeut set out by the fathers of thj republiu , having spread aoorosa the continent , its roots would "in gocd tiiiio thrust thouiaolvos beneath the waves and spread to the isles of the Pacific. " "This prediction , " said Dr. lloyt , oaino true more quickly than the dit- tinguiahod senator anticipated and evidently more quickly than he deeired. It is true that ho made this eloquent and logical stantemcnt in 1895. A hundred anti-expnaion Hjiceches mudo in 1000 could not offaoo the effect of that truthful piediction , " Dr , lloyt argued eloquently for expansion in missionary effort , keeping pace at least with the pro- green of the Aincricau flag. Madson C. Peters , D. D. , of New York also argued strongly for political and religious expansion in his address concerning expansion of the work of the Baptist homo nils , sion society , lie assorted that the Baptist would stand by and follow the American flag in confidence that it would never retreat. Rev. Theodore G. Scares Ph. D. , of Illinois spoke along similar Hues in relation to the work of the Baptist tn'iBonary ( foreign ) union. One of the Sunday features was the dedication this afternoon of [ the now missionary chapel car "Herald of Hope. " The car is the sixth placed in the service by Baptist of America within llio p.iHt six yours , the expense of which has boon sus tained wholly by true will off < ring * . The five oars already in Hurvtuo liavo operated all ever tlio west , aud thuir pilgrimages liavo resulted in building many churches and adding to their mmnharships. The "llurald of Hope" will operate on the northern frontier , K\\ The World Herald of the 25 has the following : Alliaioc , Neb. , May 120 E. G. Wait , u jeweler of this place , was lulled by Henry Mathews at II o'clock this morning. U SOOIIH that Wait wan trying to collect a nnall bill for repair work done for Matthews , and became persistent in his efforts when Matlhown utruck him ever the head with some heavy instrument fulling him to the floor. Wait got up ftiitl walked for moio than a block and fell on the side walk unconsoioiH. Ho wis taken at once to his rooms where Dr. A. S. Bellwood attended him. Wait died at 9 o'clock p. in. , without re gaining "oiiBciousness. Ho loaves a wife aud two children in very poor circumstances. Mr. Wait was a Marshalltown , la. , boy and learned his ImsinoHH under Brodhoad. Ho was for t'tv- oral years located in Broken Bow , Neb , and romovoQ to this place in tlio year 1894 where he has since resided. The time for his funeral has not y.'t been announced. At first it was not generally sup posed that V.'f.it's injuries were sei- iotiH , HO an action charging assault with intent to commit great botlly injury was filed before Jj. A Berry , justice of the peace , and MattlmwH was arrested and placed under 8500 bonds for a preliminary hearing Later it became evident that Wait was in it morn serious condition than was at first supposed , nnd anew now complaint was filed charging assault with intent to commit mur der , and the bond inoroaH d to $5- 000 later. Later , afier Air. Wait died , ho WHH .gain arrested tin the charge of miinler and his prelimin ary hearing wet , for May 28 at 1 o'clock p. m. before the same jus tice. APiancc people are greatly shook od at this occurrence. Maltliown has long berne a hard name. The report of E. G. Wait's death at Alliance Saturday evening as the result of a stroke over the head with some heavy iiiftrnmont , while in a saloon reached hero Sunday morning. Wait had boon a resi dent hero for a number of years prior to 1894 , engaged in the jewel- fry business and was quite general ly known by tlio people of this vicinity. Ho first commenced busineHS here , IH jeweler for J. L. Cobb. While in Mr. Cubb'd employ he was industrious , sober aud re garded as an cxemployory young man Subsequanlly he bought out iMr. Cobb who had decided to move to California * Ho soon took to drink and gambling and Ins busi ness run down , In 1894 ho moved to Alliance where ho lias since been in the jeweler business but not being able to break off from his former habits he had not boon able to more than make a living. The trouble which resulted in his death was brought on by trying to collect a bill of one of his patrons for whom ho had ropaird a watch. It is said that ho and another man "accompanied Mathews into a saloon and when Mathews laid 50 cents upon the counter to pay for the treats Wait took the money and stated that ho would credit that uopn his account , Mathews pro tested saying that was all the money ho had" . Hot words wore exchanged when Malhews struck Wait ever the head with some heavy instrument breaking tlio skull. After recovering his feet Wait walked a short distance but tibvor regained consoiounoss. The deoeasee loaves a wife and two children in poor circumstruces. The murder is under arrest und doubtless will have to Hpoud a term in the ponitontiory for the rish act. But as it can 1 ardly bo shown that it was a premeditated murder the charge of murder in the first degree will hardly bo proven. Mrs. Wait has the sincor sympathy of her many friends here in her great bereavement. History or Nebraska. "Tho History of Nebraska , upon which Dr. Goo. L. Miller and the editor of The Conservative are bestowing editorial attention , will not , in all probability bo published before December 1900. To keep out fancies and fictions and to put in the facts and the truths of Nebraska's settlement and development in a perfectly justifiable - able manner , IH a work requiring time , tranquility and conscientious investigation. The attempt to make the vork really and completely reliable will be continued by the editors , whone final revision of its pages will bo maun without four , favor ? , or af fection. The Conservative.
