PREPARING THEWAY FOR CHRIST Chicago Preacher Speaks nt Union Meeting on John the Baptist. ( Krom Wednopilny's Dally. ] An nudlenco that tilled the room at the Congregational church listened attentively to a message on the work of John as preparatory to the work of Jesus , or the part of man In mak ing operative and effective the plans of God. As the people were coming In Mr. Lyon urged them to fill the front seats first and said that ho never know It to fall that If all the front seats were filled the back scats would surely bo occupied too. Ho told them of the llttlo girl who was asked what a backslider was. She replied that it was n person who used to Bit up near the front but kept sliding farth er and farther back until at last he slid out the door altogether. Mr. Coultcs conducted a spirited song service assisted by the chorus choir. The people are taking hold well of the now songs. Ho sang very effectively a solo , "Coming Homo. " Hero are a few thoughts from the sermon : "Two things stand forth especially prominent In the work of John the Baptist. First the "man and second his message. They must always stand in this order. What a man is counts more than what he says. Our walk is of more Importance than our talk. Throe elements were especial ly radiant in the character of John , his humility , his unselfishness and his courage. Egotism and selfishness arc evidences of n small and sinful nature. John's humility came by contrasting his own littleness with the greatness of the life of Jesus. Ho was willing to decrease that his di vine cousin should Increase. Ho was 'also dead In earnest. Ho was not afraid to speak the truth. The real test , says someone of a good sermon , is by the people It makes glad , by those it makes sad , and by those It makes mad. Ho tore off the mask from the social , political , and per sonal hypocrisy and shams of the day and turned on the searchlight of di vine truth. Wo need more preachers like that today. His message was first to his generation , second to orv ganlzed religion and third to the in dividual. He spoke with words white hot bidding them repent of sin and prepare the way of the Lord. Ho bade them not trust to their profes sions , their property or their family connection. The axe is laid at the root of the tree , every tree that does not bring forth good fruit will be hewn down and cast Into the fire. Such Is the message needed today , Men must awaken out of their sins , their indulgence , their ease , their passing pleasures If lives are to be saved from everlasting doom. " This evening Mr. Lyon will speak on the "New Old Christianity. " The song service begins promptly at 7:30. : The pastors met this morning and voted to have a union Sunday morn ing service next Sunday at the Meth odist church.

' ' _ A _ . Former Antelope County Man Sentenced for Murder. WANTED HERE FOR STEALING Previous to Going to California Alex Karls Established a Criminal Rec ord In Antelope County Verdict Was Murder In Second Degree. A dispatch was received Monday by Sheriff Frlsblo from I ho Hhorlff of Riverside county , California , announc ing that Alex Karls had huun convict ed of murder In the second dogrno and would bo sentenced today. In quiries IIITO relative to the maximum penalty for this urlmo In the state of California are not definite In results , but the general Impression is that It IH a life sentence. The probabilities are that taking Into consideration all the circumstances connected with the crime , together with Karl'H past reo ord , very near If not the full penalty will bo Imposed. Whllo In most states the fact that the criminal was committing a robbery at night and the crime followed his detection by Peter- HOII , the owner of the liorHo ho was in the act of Stealing , would bo Hulll- clent to justify the verdict of murder In the first degree , the statutes of Cal ifornia may bo somewhat different. Even If this were not true , the cir cumstance that the ovldonco was en- Iroly circumstantial might lend the ury to bring in a finding for the les ser offense. That Antelope county ivlll not bo put to further expense seems assured , nor will It bo called , ion | to pay the reward offered for Karl's capture , as ho was not turned over to the ofllcors of this county. A. review of the history of this crlmo and also of Karl's arrest and convlc- lon In this county on the charge of cattle stealing Is not deemed neces sary , as the facts have all been so re cently brought to the attention of our 'cadcrs as to bo familiar to all. The short llfo history of this young man s one that should make a lasting Im pression upon the youths of this com munity. Born of thrifty parents , among the earlier settlers 6f the the county , and highly respected , ho had talents and energy that If rightly di rected might have made him an lion- ored name. But from his earliest youth his waywardness waa prononnc cd , and finally ho became a terror to his playmates and a reproach to the commulty In which ho lived. As ho grow older his sphere widened , but became no better , and drinking was added to his other vices. In his char acter there seemed not ono redeem' ing virtue , yet he retained the love of his parents throughout nil' Mils checkered career , which ho only re paid by bowing their heads deeper with sorrow. The Los Angeles Examiner of February ruary 29 has the following notice of the case , which the Leader has re- elved through the courtesy of Mrs. J. E. Wilder , who is visiting In that city : "Alexander N. Karls , charged with the killing of Andrew P. Peterson , ban been found guilty of murder In the second degree. "Tho jury came Into court at 3 o'clock this morning. Its members had been out since 5:15 : last night and md stood , until the last ballot , eight for a verdict of murder in the first legree and four for murder In the second degree. "Judge Noyes has set next Friday for pronouncing sentence. Attorney GUI claims to have grounds for an ap peal , but has given u > notice of one yet. "Tho trial of Karls has been char actcrized by distinguished legal abil ity on both sides. Attorney Gill made a magnificent defense. The cross ex amination of T. L. Stewart was one of the cleverest pieces of work .ever witnessed In a Riverside court. "On the other hand , District Attor ney Evans won his case In the face of very substantial difficulties. The prin cipal witness for the prosecution was an alleged perjurer , and it waa even hinted that he was Involved in the crime , but Mr. Evans fortified his evi dence with a train of such unassail able testimony that ho left the Jury no chance of a verdict of acquittal. Ills argument was able and convinc ing. "Karlo Was a hard man to defend. Ho has a criminal countenance , and all of his actions have showed him to be absolutely cold-blooded and care less of life even of his own. Ho has followed nil the proceedings in his trial with interest , but evidently with no particular thought for the consequences to himself. Ho would nonchalantly roll a cigarette with as little apparent concern as though ho had already been freed. Ho displayed no concern when the verdict was ren dered , and today seems quite at his ease , with the prospect of spending the remainder of his life in San Quen- tin. " Nollgh Leader.

THE BELLIGERENTS ARE FINED Students Claim to Have Been Slurred and Abused by the Natives and Take It Out In Duelling , With Flats for Weapons. [ Prom Wednesday's Daily. ] As the result of bad blood between college students and an element of town boys , a fight , reported to have been prearranged , took place be tween them Saturday afternoon , causing a couple of arrests and a hearing before Justice Feather yes terday afternoon. Burt Reed , a stu dent , and Frank Wlngert were ar rested on complaint of Marshal Mi ner , each charged with assault. Reed pleaded guilty and was fined $25 and costs , amounting in all to $29. Wln gert stood trial , was convicted and fined $ .25 and costs , altogether being about $13. Spectators packed the llttlo city hall where the trial took place. County Attorney Slnnns conducted the prosecution and Attorney Skeen appeared for the defendant. Thlr teen witnesses were examined. The evidence alleged that college stu dents , both boys and girls , had been slurred and otherwise mistreated by some boys about town Among other things , It is charged that the caps worn by the college boys had given rise to contemptuous remarks. These affronts aroused some bitter words between the two crowds parly In the day Saturday and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon they mot at the rear of the Wilson building to fight It out. Before the marshal could bo apprised and Interfere , there was a fierce ex change of blows , resulting in a num ber of souvenirs In the way of black eyes and bumps. Ono fellow raised an Iron bar , according to the evi dence , to strike u student , but was prevented from doing so In the nick of tlmo. Fortunately no ono was bad ly hurt. The Herald Is informed that other arrests are llkoly to follow and a determined effort madeto put a stop to the conduct which culminated in the fight Saturday. Wayne Her ald.
