At the opening session or rather service
yesterday morning of the "Believers' " con
vention , which Is being held In the largo
hall at the Odd Fellows' building , there
were upwards of 200 ot the believers of the
doctrine In attendance. The meeting was
opened with a song service led by M. L.
Mcl'hall of Chicago , after which Charles T.
Russell , the author of "Mlllenlal Dawn , "
delivered an address. An afternoon service
was held at 3 o'clock , the attendance being
even greater than that at the morning meet-
Ing. The main feature of the afternoon
meeting was a discourse by Mr. Russell on
the subject of "Hell. " The speaker said It
was wrong for preachers and others to hold
out hell as the ending place for those who
Binned and took the stand that sinners
chould be coaxed to do right and not coerced
by threats of everlasting damnation and hell
flro. The evening meeting was much the
same as the other two , Mr. Russell again
being the principal speaker. His subject in
the evening was "Mlllenlal Dawn. "
The Believers have uo organization ol
their own and those in attendance at the
convention are from many different relig
ious denominations. There Is nothing Ir
their belief Incompatible with the creeds ol
many of the churches , the main character
Istlc of their tenets being that Christian belief -
lief should not be confined within the bor
ders of any particular denomination. Tb (
convention will last over Wednesday and ar
rangcmentB have been made whereby thi
visitors are being cared for physically b ;

Uev. John Wallls Obi of Salltla , Goto. ,
occupied the pulpit yesterday morning .it
St. Paul's church. For the text of bis Ber-
mou ho Uook 1 I'cter III , 10-11 : "For bo
( but will love life and ace good days , let
him refrain his tongue from evil and bis
Hp3 that they speak no guile ; let him
eschew evil and do good ; let him seek peace
aud ensue It."He said :
How ninny directions then are given In
Holy Writ which If followed would add very
materially to our peace , comfort nnd happi
ness. Ignoring , as wo so often do , these
Injunctions Is the one reason why we suffer
both mentally and physically. The great
dllllculty with most of us Is that wo forget
that life Is not spanned by periods of time
that the existence here Is but the prepara
tion for eternity , consequently the one and
sole object with most of us Is. how we
niny Increase our resources for present gain
and present enjoyment. The language of
the text Is too plain to be misunderstood.
St. I'eter hero distinctly shows that In order
to have a Just appreciation of things within
reach , which we ore told are to be tem
pered to our good , certain rules set forth
must be scrupulously observed. So far as
the physical Is concerned there are laws
which to disobey may wreck the system and
even cause the cessation of animal life
Obedience to these Insures us vigor and
stiength of body rendering us more capable
of enjoying this present state. Nor are we
to lay stress upon the development of our
spiritual faculties , having In view a longer
and more active life bcyoud the portals of
the grave. The Idea Is simply this , an ap
proximation of the human cannot bo reached
without a cultivation of the graces which
tend toward holiness of llvlnc. Great diffi
culty Is experienced In reconciling oneself
to the rulings of providence which seem In-
1 compatible with human reasoning. The be
ing who Is satisfied with depending solely
upon self must eooncr or later find mental
and physical exertion Inadequate to cope
! i with the Insurmountable wisdom of the one
! who gives and take life. We must realize
that we did not come Into the world of our-
solvcB : then We must consider that Oort
' wlio formed us. has some specific object In
vlow in Placing us here. In allowing us to
Mlow Inclination , to exorcise will. Ito make
. The con-
for ourselves names nnd Mrtimea.
! elusion of the rational mind Is that WP were
I not made to bo destroyed. The- material
nody ny true enough have to succumb to
nature , but this
of
the changing processes
- process slnfpl ? means disintegration , the
1 particles when separated become factors In
the growth nnd development of other objects )
In the vegetable or mineral kingdom.
. Whom but Oort knows the destiny of the
' atoms constantly changing. Very well then
I the rational mind further concludes that the
1 Indcstructlblo will and affections In man
being destined for time and eternity , must
needs have Borne great work to accomplish ,
and that work must bo endless , as the Ufa
Is endless. This present state , however Is
' one of preparation. We are as travelers
getting ready for a long Journey. There Is
much to be done. He that will love life and
see good days must of a necessity have
clean hands and a pure heart. Nobility of
character must be a distinguishing feature
high and exalted notions must fire his soul
with zeal , every effort must bo put forth to
make this a stepping stone to that more
beautiful state to which we are fast hasten
ing our footfiteps. We are to remember that
the Immaculate son of C.od wore our flesh ,
and that wo bear the likeness and Ima/e of
the one who came and lived among men ,
bearing the weight of human woes and In
firmities the better to teach us that It Is
possible for UH to rise above the cares and
perplexities with which we are surrounded
upon cvcrv hand. St. Peter gives Instruc
tions which to the average mind would
Foem entirely sufficient to Imbue the soul
with more noble ImpuUea nnd Incite In the
mind greater detcrmltmtlon to make this a
veritable paradise.
The battle of life Is a hard and bitter
one , upon all sides we encompassed by
divers and sundry Ills , temptation lurks
around nnd about us , there Is so much tc
draw us from and so little , so far as worldly
Influence or solflsh Inclination Is concerned
to attract uo to the lowly Nazarcne , whose
teaching , purpose of life and perfect walk
has been given men as an example of fault
less manhood. Everything In this world
seems to point to one end , the gratlflcatlor
of present needs only. Consequently llttlt
heed Is given to the vow which may be sc
fraught with grief as to find us Incapable tc
bear the weight of a sorrow which may be
apportioned us to carry. It la always well
to call to mind the fact 'hat we may meet
many perils by the wayside , numberless
obstacles may be placed In our pathway yel
over all these we are enabled to e ln th (
victory If wo place confidence and reliance
In the ono who has promised to he the staj
and support of all these who have faith
In him.

There Is a rumor around Des Molnes that

Some free lance among the democratic
papers of Iowa Is taking the position that

The resignation of Hcaly of Fort Dodge
from the democratic state central committee
Is declared to bo a severe blow to the party
as ho was the shrewdest one of the com

At the Fort Dodge republican county con

where In evidence. A corporal defeated his
captain for the position of county attorney
and two privates were given preference over
their commanders.
The Dubuque Times declares that now. If
at no other time , the real democrats of that
county favor the Jeffersonlan principles of
democracy which are not In accord with the
wild things composing the Marshalltown
abortion.
The fusion forces are In very hard lines.
Speakers to stump the county cannot be
secured and since the Marshalltown plat
form has been thoroughly discussed through
out the state few of the old-time wheel
horses desire any notoriety In this direc

Frank Culver Is a man well along In years

gine ran over a little girl and killed her ,
the body being horribly mangled. This fatal
accident unnerved the man and it has
haunted him through the remainder of his
life. Every year when the anniversary of the
event approaches he becomes unsettled In
. his mind and every year finds his condl-
tlon worse. It Is now about the time of the

SHENANDOAH , la. , Oct. 2. ( Special Tel
egram. ) At the town of Essex , seven miles
northeast of this place , today about half
past 12 o'clock occurred t'he ' attempted mur
der of two of Its respected citizens , fol
lowed by the suicide of the assailant , Walter
J. Yatcs , a dissolute character , who shot
and seriously wounded his wife , severely
wounded her friend and benefactor , Mrs.
E. J. North , and then sent a ball through
his own brain , causing Instant dcut'h ,
The story that leads to this crime Is a
sorrowful one and telra of a woman's con
fidence and love for ono unworthy of It.
On the 20th day of March , 1895 , Walter J.
Yatcs , aged 35 , and Mlsa Sarah Flndley ,
aged 20 , were united In marriage In the llu-
tie town of Farragut , against the wishes o (
the brldo's mother , who objected to th (
drinking habits of her future son-in-law ,
Yates made well sounding promises and fol
two years after the marriage the home waa
a happy one. During this time a baby girl
was born and Providence seemed to smile i
upon the union. Then the old habit reas
serted Itself and drink drove happiness i
from the home.
Throe different times the wlfo left the i
home , unable to stand the abuse heaped upon
icr. As many times In bis sober moments i
Yates prevailed upon her to return. During ;
these separations Mrs. Yates made her homo i
with her mother. Mrs. Flndley , or else
with a sister , Mrs. Charles Johnson , of Es .
sex. Yates would visit her there , and about ;
three months ago ho , for the last time ,
I
persuaded her to live with him again. The
reunion was followed by n three weeks'
drunk , which caused the wife to ngaln seek
tier Essex friends. This time she was given |
a home In the family of Mrs. E. J. North ,
the wealthiest land owner In Page county ,
and a woman who Is noted for her benevo |
lent deeds and the great Interest she takes
In temperance and kindred works.
VntcM Grown Jeiiloun.
Mrs. North was aided In her philanthropic
work by her son , William B. Carwln , and
because of the Interest the two had mani
fested In the trouble of Mrs. Yates , the hus
band of the latter conceived a jealousy ol
Carwin and last Thursday Instituted a dam
age suit for $10,000 against Carwln. He
retained T. E. Clark of Clarlnda as his
attorney and the first papers were filed
Friday evening. The suit charges Carwln
with estrangement of the affections ol
Mrs. Yatcs. Mr. Carwln pronounces the
charge false , and It Is so regarded by all
who know the parties concerned.
During the last few weeks Yatcs has beer
loafing around this place , Farragut am
Clarlnda , and after starting the damage sul
ho came to Essex and was seen on thi
,
streets Saturday evening. Where ho slept
no ono knows. Early Sunday morning hi
;
purchased some cartridges from a hardwan
store , saying he wanted 'to shoot some tur
ties down on the river. Afterward he wan
Into a restaurant and there wrote a noli
< to his wife , asking her to meet him In thi
park immediately. Yatcs tried to hire semi
boys to deliver the note , but being afrat <
of him , they refused. Ho then went to thi
North home , where his wlfo was staying
but failed to gain an entrance , Mrs. Nortl
having gene to church and Mrs. Yates be
Ing Inside but afraid to open the door. Leav
Ing the house , Yatcs visited the Presby
terlan and the Methodist churches , looklni
for his wife , but was unable to find her. A
ho left the last mentioned church the Jan '
Itor heard him mutter : "That woman wll
kill mo yet. " After visiting the churche
Yates again returned to the North homo ani
reached the gate Just as Mrs. North arrive
homo from church. What followed is bes
given In Mrs. North's own words :
Mm. North'N Story.
"Yatcs asked to see Sarah , his wife , and
replied that If she wanted to see him sh
could. I went Into the house and told Sara ]
her husband wanted to' sec ? her and th
child , but as wo were afraid he might try t
carry off the child , wo left it In the house
j Returning to the gate , Yatcs stood on th
' outside of the fence , and tried to persuad
Sarah to again live with him. This sh
refused to do , saying it was no use. A
that he jumped over the fence and starte-
towards us. Ho then shot Sarah and the :
Eliot at mo twice. I thought ho hit m
both times , but only ono wound was made
Ho then turned and ran down toward th
west orchard snapping his revolver as h
ran. U failed to go off and he reloaded I
and then jumped a fence into a piece c
ploughed ground. There he killed himself.
Immediately after the killing , which wa
witnessed by nearly a hundred people , wh
were coming out of the Lutheran churcl
just across the street , the coroner was tel
1 I ephoncd for. The Inquest was held at
I o'clock , and the verdict was In keeping wit :
| the above facts.
A search of the body revealed a number c
e
letters and railroad tickets and In a mem
orandum book was found a note , on whlc :
was written : "W. B. Carwln , Airs. E. .
North and Charles Johnson and family at
the cause of this.
" ( Signed. ) WALTER YATES. "
The note proves that the deed was pr <
meditated. , ,
The dead man leaves.a . .father and ot
t sister , who reside In Bennett , nnd anoint
" I who lives in Nebraska Qltj. The woun
i received by Mrs. Yatcs wis in the rlgl
r ;
breast , the iball ranging downward and lodi
' ' Ing In the liver. The doijtor has little hoi
i' of her recovery. Mrs. North's wound Is
flesh one and extended-about five inch
along the left side , just , above the hip. >
danger Is apprehended from It. The sh
that killed Yates entcrt'd"\ho .head ju

A HACK FOR $200,000.
ItlcUent Trice for Which Ilorfieflenh
Kvor Itnii In Thin Country.
James L. Alken of Denver , a wealthy
retired contractor of that place , has been
spending the summer at Atlantic City , says
I the Philadelphia Times , nnd was at the
j Lafayette hotel a few days ago. Some of
Mr. Alkcn's friends who had been present )
' at the recent Futurity race at Sheepshcad
j Bay were telling him about the struggle
and great value of the stake , said to exceed
$00,000. "This year , boys , " said the old
(
gentleman , with a contemptuous curl ot the
lip , "thlrtly-elght years ago I witnessed the
finish of the greatest horse race on record
for a stake of $200,000 In gold. The race
] was against tlmo and was won by the mare
Sylph , belonging to A. B. Milter , who a few
years ago was still living In Denver. The
race was arranged through the efforts of
Secretary of War Flood to defeat a scheme
of a New York lobby to obtain an appro
prlatlon of $5,000,000 for carrying the malls
overland from Chicago to San Francisco ,
Mr. W. C. Russell1 , a friend of the ! sccre-
tary , and a partner of Mr. Miller , offered In
answer to arguments presented by the lobby
, to bet $200,000 In gold that he could put a
mall line on from Sacramento to St. Joseph ,
then the terminus of railroad communica
tions , to make the distance 1,950 miles In
ten days. The wager was taken. Mr. Mll-
Icr won his bet by employing eighty post
' riders and using 300 horses. I saw the finish
of that great race , on the 18th of April , 18CO.
The first horse , Border Human , ridden by a
'
man named Baker , made a run of twenty
' miles In forty-nine minutes. The rider
carried the malls and each rider was required -
. quired to make sixty miles of the distance ,
j The horses wore all thoroughbreds and a
j number ot them could make a mlfo at ) a
3 1:50 : gait. Sometimes the men were almost
1 lost In snowstorms nnd often the riders
wcro chased by the Indians. One rider lost
his horse but saved his mail bag and
t | ' walked twenty miles with It to the next
. relay. When the lost courier arrived at ! the
B sixty-mile post out from St. Joseph ho was
g one hour behind time. John Fry , a popular
j rider of the day , was to make the lant run
and had three hours and thirty minutest
a
to win. When the tlmo for his arrival In
t
„ St. Joseph was up 5,000 people had collected
on the banks of die river. All eyes were
j
i turned to the point , from which the horse
'
and Its rider were to emerge Into the open
U ' country. When seven minutes of the time
only remained no sign of the courier could
j bo seen. There were a thousand watches
°
| being hefd In the crowd. At last a dark
' figure shot outl from the distant woods. It
° | was Fryo and the gallant mare Sylph. She
0 made the run of the last mile In 1:50 : ,
" I reaching the ferryboat with a fraction over
, five minutes In the ten days' race to spare.
18 Some of the riders In that race wcro given
e JC.OOO. It cost more than half of the stake
to win It. "
SIGN OF GOOD TIMBS.
I2itormonn Incrennc In the Importa
tion of I'rocloil * Htonen.
A bulletin Just Issued , \ > y { he Treasury de
partment shows a greatly enlarged importa-
s tlon of diamonds. Here are the figures for
a two fiscal years ending July 1 of 1897 and
* 1898 of diamond Importations into the
"
United States : 1S97 , $1,985,110 ; IS'JS , JO-
055,783. The Increase of Importations of
diamonds is , however , not the only one In
the line of decorative jewelry , so to speak ,
The Importations for the two .years of other
precious stones rubles , sapphires , emeralds ,
pearls , opals , etc. are as follows lu amount :
1897. $1,573.788 ; 1898 , $3 , 0,07G.
It Is proverbial among diamond dealers
that' the Importations or diamonds are In
dicative of the times , the demand belne
largo when times are good and small when
times are dull. Those who handle thest
precious stones believe them to bo the verj
best commercial barometer. If this bo so ,
the great demand for them at present musi
prove that times are extraordinarily good
In the United States at present.
The two chief foreign ports from whlci
diamonds are sent to this country are Am
sterdam aud Antwerp. From Great Brltalr
a considerable amount of jewelry Is ex
ported to the United States , but much of II
comes from England In transit , particular ! ]
from Switzerland , a country having few dl-
rcct trade relations with the United Statei
is In the fiscal year of 1S94 , following the de
10 pression caused by the financial disturbances
10h.
h. ances of that year , the exports of Jewelrj
1- to the United States fell off one-half Ii
17
7 amount. The exportatlons of French jew
h elry fell off two-thirds and from Hollam
four-fifths , but the losses sustained In thi
ot amount of exports have been more thai
n- covered this year , as the Treasury depart'
nJ. nh merit records show.
J. The largest country of export of uneu
J.re
re diamonds to the United States Is Holland
and England follows through the develop
ment of the diamond Interests In Africa
In Importations of jewelry and preclou
stones other than diamonds , Franco lead
ae and Holland follows. ,
er The variances In the amount of buslnes !
3dht done In diamonds and precious stones (
ht trade peculiarly susceptible to trade condl
E- tlons ) Is shown In the case of Belgium. I
Epe
pe 1894 Its total exportatlons to the Unite
pea
a States wcro to the value of $74,000 In din
ics mends , jewelry and precious stones. Th
year before they were $210,000 , or thre
lOt times as much. The year after they wer
ist $500,000 , or seven times greater.

Mrs. FUhltiRton thrust ber hand up be
hind the "panjv" picture In the dlnlngroom
and then exclaimed , her face white with
frlRht. "John , they're Rone. "
Mr. Flshlnpton dropped his spoon Into the
coffee.
"Could you expect anything different ? "
ho asked. "This habit of Jamming money
around behind pictures and In books nnd
vases will bo the ruination of the whole
family. Have you looked In the lllblo ? "
Mrs. Klshlngton ran to the front room.
"Tho bills are not In It , " she sobbed "Oh ,
John , I'm just ns sure as I can bo that I
put them behind that picture. "
She gazed all around the room , relates the
Detroit Fre Press , then raised the table
cloth and peered under It. "Oh , John , " she
cried , "see Tlm ; he's gulping hard enough
to kill him. "
Mr. Flshlnglon got down on his knees nnd
looked under the tnble. There was no ques
tion about Tim's culplng.
He rose. "Dog's swallowed 'cm , that's
all. " he sneered. "Now , I suppose he'll have
to be killed ami the bills rescued before
there's time for 'cm to be digested. I'd like
to see the dog I wouldn't shoot for $25 , two
tens and a five. "
Mrs. Flshlngton began to cob.
"Go and get the flobcrt rifle and I'll take
htm out In the alley , " ordered Mr. Fishing-
ton.

Mrs , Flshlngton obeyed ,
Mr. Flnhlngton took the dog In his arms
and made for the post at the end ot the
alley fence. He tied the animal.
Mrs. Fishlngton could not witness the
slaughter and went back Into the dining-
room. Flshlngton slipped a fresh cartridge
Into the gun. He went around to one side
so the dog wouldn't know what was hap
pening nnd had raised the rifle to his shoul
der. A scream at the door arrested the
pressure of his trlcgcr finger.
"Oh , Johnl John ! Don'tl I've found the
bills ! "
Mr. Flshlngton lowered the weapon.
"Where ? " he shouted.
"In my pursel"
Then Flshlngton untied the dog.
