The club will meet the first and third Wed nesday of each month, and the program for the evening will be left to those who entertain. There was a meeting of the ial Association last Monday morning in the Grace church rectory. After the formal opening it was agreed apon to make Rev. Ulmer representative on the local press. It was also agreed to open correspondence with the state organisa tion of charities with a view to effecting a permanent organization of charities in Columbus. Rev. DeWolf read a very able paper on "John Wesley, Preacher and Theologian." The- readera of the local papers will be interested in a brief sketch of the order. After ,disonaaiag the hjatorical importance of the Wes leyan movement the writer said in part: "The decadent condition of the Chris tian church in Wesleyaa'a tiaaa with the consequent hunger of the people tar the Gospel of Christ, furnished the oppor tunity for the great revival The lead ing characteristics of Wesley aa a preach- er were his knowledge of and faith ia the Bible, his ready comprehension of the needs of the people, a strong, fall religions experience, aad hia vigorous style in the nee of Without donbt much of the theological controversery in which he engaged with other earnest Christians of hia own age. was due to the unwillingness of the theologians of his day to recognise the limits of haman understanding in the interpretation of the word of God. The world owes him a great debt of grati tude for the place in the chareh to which he brought the doctrines of the witness of the Spirit, and the entire sa tisfaction of the sonL The approach to the latter has without doubt fonndsoaae modification in later decades throuerh recant psychological discoveries classifications, bnt the Wesleyan tention that 'to love God with all the heart, soul, miad and strength, and hia neighbor as himself, constitute a per fect Christian; "must to the end of time remain a doctrine of the Christian church." On the morning of October 9th, Gut Koza, mail carrier on route No. 2, and Dr. F. B. Schnltz of this place found the remains of an ucdnown man in the cornfield on the old Jonas Fry farm in Wilson precinct. The throat of the man was cut from ear to ear, and the bloody razor with which the deed was done was fonnd in his coat pocket. There waa nothing about bis belongings that gave the least cine to the iaenity of the deceased. Coroner Allen held an in quest and the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that that the deceased took his own life by cutting his throat. The remains were brought to this place and bnried in the Clarkson cemetery, and many expressed the belief that the idenity of the man would never be known. It. now thought the mystery may probably be unraveled. On Oct. 31 Dr. Schiltz received a letter H. M. Kemp, an old settler of --Colfax county, living a few miles west of Schuyler, which contained a description of the husband of his stepdaughter aad which corresponds very elosefy to that of the. suicide. The doctor answered the lat ter giving Mr. Kemp all information possible, aad on the 5th of this month received a second letter in which Mr. Kemp expressed the belief that the de ceased waa Clyde Briggs, husband of his stepdaughter. The wife also wrote aad told of her having lived with Briggs for six years, during which time he waa frequently inaane and that she waa muc afraid of him. She left the deceased at' Greenville, Michigan, last February and with their little three year old child came to the home of her stepfather. She aaya her husband waa seen in Green ville, in August and thinks that he came west in search of her and the child, and one or. nis insane spells coming on ha took his life. Her description of her husband tallies with that of the saicida and by exhuming the reaaaias it ought not to be any difficulty to settle the question. Those who viewed the re ataina of the suicide and have read the description given of Briggs are confi dent that they are oae and the person. Clarkson Herald.
