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.

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
