iiiiintiiii at 8 O'Clnck.
tn the clear sunlight of the beautiful Sab
bath morning , at nn hour when they had
for years past prepared themselves to hear
God's word expounded by the man whose
lips have been silenced , mtmbcrs of the
Holy Trinity cathedral and many of those
who had known Dean Gardner In capacities
other than that of rector , gathered yester
day to receive the mortal remains of the
man whom they so ardently loved and to
add to Ills memory a slight tribute of that
love. The sorrow ot the group that waited
nt the railway station for the arrival of the
remains and the members of the afflicted
family plainly showed Itself ; strong men
appeared weak , and the mothers whom the
late dean had so often comforted could with
difficulty control their emotions. Even the
busy trainmen paused In their work long
enough to remove their caps nnd bow their
heads as the train with Its sad burden rolled
In.
The train was due at Webster street sta
tion at ten minutes after D o'clock , but be
fore the bells had rung the hour many of
the churchmen wcro there. The vestry ot
the cathedral , many of the vestrymen's
wives , the clergy of a number ot other
churches , members of the parish , the officers
of the Young Men's Christian association ,
many members of St. Andrew's Brother
hood , of the Omaha lodges of
Royal Arcanum and Ancient Order
of United Workmen , the Omaha
Guards and a number of other citizens in
dicated their regard and esteem for the de
ceased clergyman by their presence.
RECEIVED THE REMAINS.
Mis. Gn'dnor and her children occupied
the private car of Horace G. Hurt , general
manager of the Omaha road. The family
at once entered carriages and
were driven to the home.
The remains were borne to the hc.irso by
the following pallbearers , selected from I he
Trinity Cathedral Chapter of St. Andrew's
brotherhood : Charles Anderson , Murray
Marburg , C. H. Hawklnson , John Cowles ,
K. C. Scudds , Ernest Williams. N. E. Broail-
flcld nnd C. E. Rejnolds , the vestrymen
acting as honorary pallbearers.
As the remains were carried to the
hearse , the Omaha Guards , In double rarks
nearby , presented arms and later acted as
the guard of honor , escorting the remains
to the church. Dean Gardner was for a
number of years chaplain of the Guards. A
full company , under command of Captain
Mulford and Lieutenants Wilson nnd Cone ,
answered the call to act as escort to the
remains of their late officer. In the march
to the church the soldiers preceded the
hearse , which was followed by a long line
carriages , containing the vestrymen and
other members ot the congregation.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNERAL.
At the regular morning service the cathe
dral was filled with members of the parish.
The station of the dean was heavily draped
with black and the altar was covered with
a cloth of deep purple. The service was the
regular service of the Episcopal church ,
Bishop Worthlngton preaching the sermon.
Before the sermon the bishop announced
that the body would Ho In state In the crypt
of the cathedral this morning , where all
who desired to do so might gaze once more
on the beloved features ot the departed. A
special memorial celebration of the holy com
munion will take place at 8 o'clock this
morning , and the funeral services will beheld
held at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It wns
also announced that a meeting of the Epis
copal clergy of the city will bo held at the
Episcopal rooms nt 10:30 : o'clock this morn-
Ing.
Bishop Worthlngton took for his text St.
John , xvlll , II : "The cup that my father
has given me , shall I not drink It ? " The
bishop drew a graphic sketch of the scene
at' the last supper of Jesus and his disci
ples , and the scene In the garden of Geth-
senianc , where the Blessed Savior struggled
alone with his thoughts and prayed that the
cup of bitterness might bo taken from Him ,
concluding with that prayer of resignation ,
"Nevertheless , not My will , but Thine bo
done. " The comfort to bo drawn from this
lesson by those who have seen much of life
and its sorrows was dwelt upon at some
length by the bishop , who then referred In
well chosen words to the great sorrow which
had como upon the parish nnd the entire
diocese. The bishop said It had seemed that
the dean's usefulness was extending more
and more , and that ho had been cut oft In
the full vigor of manhood , but the effect ot
lili life would bo felt by every member ot
the parish. The bishop concluded his ser
mon by a touching tribute to the good works
and the consecrated life of the late dean.
An order was posted In the Omaha Guards'
armory yesterday by Captain > Mulfor"d re
quiring all members of the company to bn
on hand In full dress uniform this afternoon
In order to attend the obsequies of the lute
Dean Gardner at Trinity cathedral. A large
number of ex-guards who were Intimately
acquainted with the dean during their days
of service In the mllltla have signified their
Intention ot attending the services In a
body , and many ot them will follow the re
mains ot the deceased to Prospect Hill ceme
tery ,

CI.AUDJ : iioovuii'S LAST STATEMENT
Kveryliody and llonex to Go
to Ilenveii.
The following communication signed by
Claude II. Hoover just prior to his death
has been handed to The * Bee ( or publica
tion. It Is presumed that the document
was written by Hoover's spiritual adviser :
"To the citizens of Omaha and dear
friends that have worked tn my behalf to
get my sentence commuted , I want to
thank you with all my heart , and I appre
ciate your love and kindness. I have only
a short ttmo to live , and by the time you
read this In the paper I will bo In a better
world , where thcro Is no sorrow or pain.
I don't fear death , although I don't like to
leave- this world In the way I have to go.
I thank the governor , Mr. Holcomb , for
giving my case the close attention he has ,
and I believe that ho thinks ho done justice ,
oven It It was against me. Although I put
till my hopes on him , believing that ho
would commute my ( sentence , I hold no 111
will against htm , and hope that ho may
lead a good Christian llfu ; that I may meet
him In heaven ,
"Thcro Is one consolation , and that Is
this , that today I am a Christian and am
jiroud of It and I only wish all my dear
( rlcnds could stand up and speak those
words for Jesus , Ono who died on the cross
and suffered for our sins that wo might be
caved.
"Oh , dear friends , when you read these
tow lines think of mo and think of the
Krlet and Borrow I nave brought upon my
dear , heartbroken mother and Bisters ones
I love better than my llfu. And think bow
they have loved me and how my dear
mother has watched over me and lived in
hopes that I would grow up and bo a good
Christian mau and bo u comfort In her old
aec.
aec."And now her hopes are all blasted , In-
etcad of being a comfort and joy to her
heart I \\a\c \ brought all this disgrace and
Borrow upon her. There U not a boy In
the world that has had a better mother
and sisters than I have , so don't think any
the less of them for what I have brought
upon them , but help them and comfort
them In their hours of grief and trouble
end speak consoling words to them that
their burdens will not ba so bard to bear.
Pa this for my sake , and may God bless
you for your kindness.
( 'I remember well the first prayer my dear
mother taught me , when eho used to knee !
beside mo at night when I went to bed.
Now I luy mo down to sleep , I pray the
Ixird my soul to keep. If I should die before
I \vakev I p/ay the Lord my oul to take.
Amen. '
"Boys and youug men of Omaha , I hope
nud pray to Oed that you will never bring
disgrace and srlet upon your dear mother
tud cistern , & 1 have. It I bad only tukeii
my dear mother' * advice- would not be
hero today In this lonely cell with this sen
tence upon me. So be good to your mother ,
she IB the best friend a boy has got , and
she may not be with you always. So while
ho la with you , bo kind and good to her ;
do everything you know will please- her , for
when elm Is gone you will get no other to
take her place. So always take her advice
end you will never regret It the longest
day you live ,
"And another thing I want to say Is this ,
Keep away from drink , for that Is what
has put mo where I am ; that Is what hna
caused me to commit this terrible crime ;
caused me to lake the life of my best friend ,
one who was always good to me , and 1 could
not have liked him any better If he had
bren my brother , and I hold no grudge
against him , and I pray to Clod every day
to forgive his sins and give him a home
In heaven , that I may meet him on the
Judgment day ; that I may come to him
and ask his forgiveness , And I know he
will be too glad to forgive me.
"My hope was that some day I would bo
free from prison , that I could take care of
his two little girls , for I love them just as
well as If they were my own children. I
would liavo been willing to have worked
hard all ray life to help them , but It wns
not God's wish. But I hope and pray that
God will take care of them , and that they
will grow up nnd bo good Christian women
and do ( lod'a will.
"I thank my attorneys for what they have
done for me. They could not have done
any more for mo If I had been their
brother. I know they did not leave n stone
unturned. They done everything In their
power they could do for me , and I tlunk
them with all my heart. I thank Sheriff
McDonald , Jailer Sham ! and nil the attend
ants at the Jail for their kindness and
favors they bestowed upon me while I was
confined In the jail. Also my death watches ,
John Croft nnd Al Larson , for their kind
ness , gratitude and brotherly love. And my
dear friend Mr. Ham nnd my uncle In
Atchlson for getting up that petition In my
behalf , and Rev. Mr. Wilson , my spiritual
adviser , and dear friend that has brought
mo nearer to God , and may God reward
him hereafter for his good works.
"I don't hold a grudge against anybody
In this world. I forgive everybody that bos
ever done mo a wrong , nnd It I have
wronged anybody In this world , I ask their
forgiveness nnd pardon with all my heart ,
for I want to leave this world n friend to
everybody.
"Mother and sisters , I bid you all goodbye
and hope you will live n good Christian
life , and when you arc called away from
this world of trouble I will meet you In
heaven , where I will be waiting your com
ing. Goodbye to everybody. "
WHAT IT COSTS TO 1IAXO A MAX.
Avernive N In the XelKrhlioi-Iitioil of
Three TIKIUMIIml Dollars.
The conviction of a man charged with
murder In the first degree and the executing
of the death sentence Is a very expensive
proceeding and ono which costs the tax
payers of Douglas county about $3,000 In
each case coming under the jurisdiction ct
the legally constituted authorities ot this
county.
There aio a large number of Items which
go to make up the total cost , and exact ic-
sults In this line are not easily arrived at
for the reason that the circumstances sur
rounding the trials of criminal cases vaiy
with each case. The essence ot nil calcula
tion. In this direction Is time , the length of
time consumed In the trial ot a causn being
the most Important factor In arriving at
the cost ot the trial. Assuming that 'he
trial occupies the time of the court ofiloials
two weeks , a comparatively short period ,
the expenses of the proceeding. Including the
judge , jury , prosecuting attorney and as
sistant , witnesses , bailiffs , Jailer and various
other Items , amount to about $1,200. In the
majority of such cases the prisoner Is with
out means to employ counsel to defend him ,
and ono or more attorneys are appointed to
act for the defendant. The amount of fee
allowed for this work Is not fixed , except by
precedent. , nnd In cases where an appeal , Is
prosecuted In the supreme court the amount' '
generally allowed the counsel for the defense
Is $500. This swells the expense to about.
$1,700 , which Is a conservative estimate , the
expense attached to the conviction of .Ed
Neal , who was executed In October , ISQlf
having been over $2,000.
The carrying out ot the sentence of the
court Involves another largo expense. When
the case has been passed upon by the su
preme court and the finding ot the lower
court Is affirmed , the supreme court fixes
the date ot execution , required by statute
to bo at least 100 days from the date of
sentence by the supreme court. As It Is
customary to have all executions lake place
on Friday , the time intervening may be
several days more than the 100 required
by law. It has come to bo a custom to
establish a "death watch" over a condemned
man a guard who watches over the con
victed prisoner from the time the sentence
of the supreme court Is promulgated until
the sentence Is carried out or commuted.
Two men are always detailed for this Irk
some duty , and they stand guard twelve
hours each , receiving $2 per day each. This
Item alone amounts to approximately $425
In ordinary cases.
It has grown to bo a custom , which ob
tains In nearly every state In the union ,
that a condemned murderer should be sup
plied with any delicacies and toothsome
dainties he may desire. While , as a rule ,
the prlsqncr may not be allowed to let hla
appetite and fancy run riot , he Is allowed
considerable latitude , and It Is probably
not an extravagant estimate to place the
amount paid out ( or such purposes at about
$50.It
It Is also the rule to supply the con
demned man with a new suit of clothes
In which ho makes his last appearance
In public before being launched into eter
nity. A fair estimate of this Item would
make the cost about $20.
While all of the above Items may be re
garded as the outgrowth of a pampered civ
ilization and totally unnecessary to a proper
performance of the strict requirements of
the law , there are Items which are vitally
necessary and which are required by statute
In Nebraska , These are the stockade , or
enclosure , the scaffold and the rope.
There Is but ono Institution In the United
States which manufactures hangman's ropes ,
This concern Is at Cincinnati , O. , and the
article turned out by It Is a soft , silky cord
of hemp , five-eighths of an Inch In diam
eter , with the noose already prepared and
with full directions for Us proper use. The
rope Is ten feet In length and the prlco tor
each' rope Is $10.
Thor * Is no prescribed form of gallows ,
but the kind generally used , with the ap
pliances for Its proper operation , not Includ
ing the rope , costs about $75.
The enclosure la provided for by statute ,
where the Jail Is not BO constructed that the
execution may take place within Its walls ,
and the cost of erecting and removing this
structure , together with the cost of erecting
and removing the gallows , amounts to ap
proximately $75 , making the total amount
of the Items enumerated $655.
There Is no statutory provision for a fee
to be charged by the sheriff lor the execution
of a convicted murderer , but a precedent
was established In Douglas county when
Ed Neal was executed. Sheriff Boyd receiv
ing a fee of about $400 ( or carrying out the
death sentence- . Whether the present board
ot commissioners will allow this amount or
any other amount to Sheriff McDonald has
not been determined and no bill has yet
been rendered by the sheriff.
If the precedent thus established Is fol
lowed In the present Instance , the total cost
of the legal proceedings In a case such as
the ono cited , where the trial consumed two
weeks and where the death watch was on
duty only ( or the time absolutely required
and where no proceedings were had which
caused further delay and further expense
on account of the death watch , would be
about $2,755.
Theories of cure may be dlscuese-1 at
length by physicians , but the sufferers -ft'snt
quick relief ; nnd One Minute Cough Cure
will give It to them. A nafo euro ( or chil

It Is now three months since a market
lOace was established at Eleventh nml
Howard streets under the direct supervision
of the city. Consequently the enterprise
Is still In Its Incipient stngc , but It has
progressed far enough to establish Itself
as a thorough success. In Its present form
the market place has simply taken a single
step toward a metropolitan enterprise , but
the result has been so tntlsdictory that
It will do a great deal to convince the city
olllclals that a permanent market house
will not only bo a convenience to the people
ple , but a remunerative Institution to the
city.
city.The
The market placa was established In Its
present form May 1 , 1'rcvlously ( he same
territory had been set aside , but the gar
deners wcro allowed to have undisputed
possession , the earliest comer taking the
most favorable location and business being
carried on with no other regulation than
that supplied by the patrolman on the beat.
The result was continual confusion and
dissatisfaction , and last spring the Idea
\vas conceived of marking the territory oft
Into stalls , which were to be rented out
to the gardeners. It wns not proposed to
make the project a profitable one , the Idea
being to levy a fee for stalls that would pay
.the salary oC a market superintendent
and other expenses connected with the en
terprise. During the first thrco months
the receipts from the stalls amounted to
$ U50.SU. The only expense was the salary
of O. J. Anderson , superintendent of mar
kets , which Is ? C5 a month. Even If the
revenue Is not Increased during the remain
der of the season there will be a clear pioflt
of over $1,500 nt the end of six months.
This would pay C per cent Interest on ? 50-
000 for the same period , or on ? 25,000 for
the full year. From this It Is asserted
that It Is easy to see how a first class mar
ket house would not only pay the Interest
on the money Invested , but also aftord
a handsome profit to the city that would
eventually wipe out the cost of the building.
DOES AWAY WITH TROUBLE.
The present charge Is IB cents per day for
each stall. Superintendent Anderson says
that during the three months for which he
has had charge of the market place ho has
never had a minute's difficulty in collecting
the rent or In maintaining order. The gar-
denerH pay for their stalls promptly every
morning , and there has never been the
slightest friction between rival dealers. It
Is Mr. Anderson's opinion that It It Is not
practicable to build a complete market house
some improvements should be made at the
present location next year. He advises the
construction of an open framework of Iron
rods to mark oft the stalls and surmounting
this by a roof that will protect the gardeners
when It rains. He thinks this could easily
be constructed with the profits ot the present
season , and It would be of such a nature
that it could easily be taken down at the
end of the season and replaced the next
spring. At present the wagons are out In
the open street , and when sudden showers
co mo up the damage to the gardeners is
considerable.
The hour to see the market in full oper
ation Is early In the morning. Then the
four blocks occupied by the wagons are as
actively business-like , as could be * Imagined ,
The number of wagons , vary somewhat , but
on an ordinary morning there , are 100 or
inoro ot them lined along * tlie "curbs. This
makes a revenue ot $15 a flay. Here Is every
seasonable product of the "garden and farm ,
and they are sold at prices that are Insig
nificant , as compared with 'those ' charged
by the regular grocers. The housewife who
pays an early morning visit tdfthc market
can carry away as much fruit and vegetables
for a quarter as she would buy for $1 at a
grocery. Many a one may be seen leaving
the market with as much as she can easily
carry , the cost of which has been a nickel
or a dime.
The marketer has an endless variety to
select from a hundred big wagons , loaded
to their capacity , and everything Is fresh
and appetizing. People are beginning to dis
cover the advantage of buying their vegeta
bles and fruit at first hands and the num
ber of housewives who visit the market
during the morning is constantly Increasing.
Many of them drive down to the market In
the morning and return In time for their
husbands to drive down town to business
and occasionally a woman of considerable
social prestige may bo noticed among the
patrons of the market. A few of the smaller
gardeners have refused to rent stalls and
confine themselves to peddling through the
suburban districts , but the majority of the
dealers assert that since the market place
was established under the present system
their sales have Increased to such an extent
as to more than repay them for the small
rental which they are compelled to pay.

Today lg tbo commencement of the mu
nicipal fiscal year and the 1896 levy made
by the city council some time ago becomes
available. The 50-mill levy would bring In
$81,209 In revenue ; deducting thq 15 per
cent reserve , leaves $71,670 , with which to
run the city for the year. This amount
has been apportioned as follows : Interest ,
$25,765 ; judgment , $12,883 ; police , $7,157 ; flro
and water , $4,294 ; public light , $6,441 ; sal
ary , $6,120 ; cnglner , $1,190 ; general. $5,729 ;
street repair , $1,275 ; park. $716. Expenses
for tbo year have been estimated at $76,212.
This , with the amount In sight , would leave
an overlap next August of $5,642 , but the
council expects enough money from other
sources to overcome this. Something like
$1,500 from the county road fund will bo
available for street repair work , and the
general fund will rccelvo about $2,000 from
lines , licenses , etc. Several thousand dollars
lars , estimated at about $6,000 , can bo drawn
from the 15 per cent reserve , and with all
this the councllmen expect to be able to
carry the city through without an overlap ,
There promises to bo some fun when the
payments of judgments against the city Is
commenced , Ono day last week the mem
bers of the finance committee held a meet
ing and decided upon what judgments would
be paid when the money became available.
Claimants who have been waiting for a long
time learned that the committee bad not
put their names on the list , but Instead had
shown preference for claims not nearly BO
old. The Lucllen judgment of $750 , allowed
by the court on account of a change of grade ,
Is the last judgment entered against the
city and It said to be on the list for pay
ment. The American Water Woiks company
now has five judgments for a largo amount
which are quite old , and the company has
written the mayor that it wanted thq money.
Several other claims are nearly as old as
the water company's. Holders of these old
judgments have taken legal advice , and If
their claims are not Included In the list when
a settlement Is made threaten to commence
mandamus proceedings to compel the council
to settle ,

"Things are looking bright for the street

yesterday. "During the week there was a

company , at which the building of the loop
was talked over , Another meeting will be
held by the directors either Monday or Tues
day , at which time It Is expected the matter
will be decided ono way or the other. Until
the council has a decided answer from the
directors the different ordinances pertaining
to the company will be held back. I feel
confident that the loop will be built. "

There Is a movement rn foot among some
of the city councllmen to start a vigorous
Investigation Into the water works contract
matter. The work of relocating some ot the
useless flro hydrants has been delayed on
account of the missing document and now
something has to bo dono. They propose
to call ex-City Clerk Maly up on the carpet
and go after his bondsmen. Maly says the
contract wns In Ed Johnston's possession the
last time he saw It and Ed Johnston only
laughs when ho Is asked about It. Ho made
a positive statement for publication not long
slnco that there never was a contract be
tween the city and the American Water
Works company , The minutes of the coun
cil In 1S87 and 1S8S show that there was a
contract and the company has kindly offered
to furnish the city n copy. Maly , when
questioned about the matter , says that he
was not the only one who had a key to the
clerk's olllce and "the combination on the
safe was never changed while I wns In

It something cannot be done to bring forth

Member Talbot of the Board of Educa
tion takes exceptions to the statement ot an
ox-member In regard to the proposed build
ing of n two-room frame school house on
Twenty-sixth street , near M. Ho says
that It would not cost more than $1,000 to
erect such a building , and then It could be
moved from ono crowded district to an
other as needed , the same as Is done In
Omaha. As for erecting n stibstan'lal
eight or twelve room building , he admits
the need of one , but wonders where the
money is to come from. This year's school
census , ho says , Is lower by 200 names
that the census of last year. As for the
room now rented In the block at Twenty-
fifth and N streets , he says that It cannot
very well be made Into two rooms , and
the board has to pay about $7 a month for
heat besides the $20 a month rent. An
other outside room , he asserts , will have to
be rented at the opening ot the fall ses

to lln Their Duty.
OMAHA , Neb , , Aug. 0 To the Editor of
The Doe ! Please allow mo to address my
fellow workmen on their duty to themselves
and their country In the present campaign.
Brothers , do not be led astray by false as
sertions and frothy sentiments , together with
false promises never Intended to be fulfilled.
You had a practical experience with broken
promises In the past four years. Are you
willing to trust the same party again ? Have
our sufferings In want , misery and starva
tion made no change In your political senti
ments ; are wo Incapable of learning In the
dear school of experience the difference be
tween prosperity nnd adversity ? Be Inde
pendent. Use your judgment like Intelligent
men and sou will command the respect of
all parties. Do not allow the party which
betrayed us four years ago to mislead you
In this campaign. This new hcrcey of free
silver Is sure to prove a detriment Instead
of a benefit to all classes of Industry ex
cept the mlno owners. Do not worry on
their account , they can take care of 'their
business without our assistance. Suppose
this government should enact a law that
eighteen Inches made one yard nnd eight
ounces ono pound , how would you like It ?
Do you think it would Improve your condi
tion financially ? And yet foolish as this
supposed enactment appears It harmonizes
with the wild theory of free coinage of sil
ver advocated by demagogues ; men who care
not for their country's honor. Their only
object la to get ofllco , betray their constitu
ents , violate their .promises and disgrace
their country.
Fellow workmen , are you willing to trust
your Interests nnd your country's Interests
In the hands ot such men ? You have the
preservation and future prosperity of our
country In your hands. Ho careful to whom
you consign the responsible position ot legis
lation. Those you selected four years ago
proved false to their country's Interests , and
some of them went across the ocean to re
ceive their reward for betraying their coun
try's Interests ; ono especially , who now holds
n high position under the present administra
tion as a reward for his treachery. Ho can
now smile with complacency on the suffer
ings of his Stan-Ing countrymen , caused by
his free trade legislation , and his chief as
sistant during this time wns the man who Is
now before the country seeking the highest
olllco In the gift of a free people as n reward
for his active participation In destroying the
business and manufacturing Industries ot
our once prosperous country. Are you willIng -
Ing to place this gicat responsibility In the
hands ot nn untried man , unknown to fame ,
without a record as a statesman , with noth
ing to recommend him except n fine com
mand of language , with occasional poetic
effusions mostly borrowed from the expres
sions ot much greater men. When analyzed
by the crucible of practical common sense
nnd deprived of Its thimble rigging verbiage
and frothy sensational sentiments jou will
find nothing to admire , nothing worth re
membering In any of his speeches up to date.
This country Is too large , lias too many
vast Industries , to be successfully conducted
on a poetical and sentimental basis. People
admire and respect the fortunate possessor
ot this noble gift ot nature , but they never
entrust them with Important legislation , be
lieving them to be totally Incompetent. Sev
enty millions of Intelligent people In this
country will not risk the future prosperity
of our beloved country In the hands of
any but tried and accomplished statesmen.
And now , fellow workmen , I have done my
duty. I waru you against the evils In store
for us should this modern crazy political
heresy prove successful In this campaign.
Do your duty as Intelligent men , support
the party pledged to American protection
and all Is well. PETER BROPHEY.

It Began August 2d and Will Hun 12 Weeks ,
IN this story Mr. Haggard relates the terrible experi
ences of the Reverend Thomas Owen , who , persuaded
that Faith , if strong-enough , could accomplish all things
even to the performance of miracles , gave up a comfort
able living in the Church of England to practice his
preaching among the Children of Fire.
He went knowing that this savage African tribe , * *
under the spell of the Wizard Hokosa , had put to death !
the last "White Messenger" because he could not prove
his religion by raising from the dead his companion
whom they had slain before his very eyes. This he
learned through a third missionary "whom they sent
b ack to hispeople with this message :
"Tell them that having prove ! you to be liars they
dealt with you as all honest men seek that all liars
should be dealt with. Tell them that they desire to
hear more of this matter , and if one can be sent to them
t5
who has no false tongue , who in all things fulfills the
promises of his lips , that they will harken to him and
treat him well ; but that for such as you they keep a
spear. " . . - '
It was "this challenge that the Reverend Thomas
Owen accepted- and in this serial is told the wonderful
story of his single-handed conflict with the Children ot
Fire and his almost miraculous success in baffling : their
prophets and confounding their Wizardry converting
first the king and then the great body of his people ;
among others his son and rightful heir to the throne. , < i
