The follow- lng is the Gettysburg speech: " V ' "Fourscore and seven years ago oar fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi­ tion that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great Civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a por­ tion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. *"But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate--we cannot consecrate-- we cannot hallow--this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nOr long remember what we say here, but it never can forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause fOr which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people* for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Forty Lutheran teachers attending the teachers' convention vieited the State Museum of Natural History, at the suggestion of Professor Schoknecht of the local school. After a few min­ utes spent in a general orientation in- psection, as each one individually was prompted by curiosity, they gathered in the entrance hall and listened to a general description of the museum by the curator. Thence they passed to the various exhibits, pausing long enough to obtain a general idea of the nature and purposes of the various collec­ tions. Some were most attracted by the complete mineral exhibit. - Others were especially interested in^the rich fossil collections, while still others were most taken with the various little birds shown in a series of cases. Some time was Bpent around the large topographic map, 10 by 17 feet in size, the largest topographic map of the state of Illinois found, in any city in the United States. Plans are being made by the prin­ cipals and teachers of the various schools in Springfield and neighbor­ ing towns to take schools to the museum, while the curator has ex­ pressed his willingness to give de­ scriptions of Che museum and lectures on the various exhibits. Warning Given to Illinois Girls. Illinois girls who contemplate leav­ ing positions in this state to go to the western coast for 1915 fair time in the hope of finding better induce­ ments have the distinct discourage­ ment of such a project by Governor Dunne. -* The governor, who took time off to consider this new phase of an appeal, based his statement on a letter which has been received from Mrs. Keck, general secretary of the Toung Wom­ en's Christian association at San Francisco. Mrs. Keck declared in her letter that the rush of competent women from the east to the west, in view of the coming international ex­ position, already has begun, and that rall positions incident to the exposition will be filled by western women: The warning therefore is sounded. As an aid in her work, Mrs. Keck sought a statement from the Illinois governor, who, discussing the Keck letter, said: "This warning, coming from Buch a source, I believe to be worthy of con­ sideration by the women of this state and surrounding states and I hope it will save women who have contem­ plated going to California disappoint­ ment and peril." Passes May* Be Discontinued. Employes ,of railroads throughout Illinois are considerably disturbed over the possibility of the newly cre­ ated state public utilities commission prohibiting the use of railroad passes after the first of next January. Many attorneys who have examined the act creating the public utilities commission have expressed the opin­ ion that the interpretation of the sec­ tion of the act bearing upon passes rests largely with the commission. This section prohibits rebates or dis­ crimination of any sort. It was not designed to be an anti-pass clause and no one suspected such an interpreta­ tion of it until some time after its passage, when the question was raised. The legislature turned down an anti- pass bill, but if the public utilities commission interprets the uou-ulscrim- ination clause of the new act to apply to passes, even employes and officials of railroads will be compelled to pay railroad fare the same as the general public. All anti-pasB laws throughout the country make a number of exceptions, including railroad employes and mem­ bers of their families, ministers, per­ sons going to the relief of sick or in­ jured, and the like. The possibility of a blanket anti-pass act is viewed with much concern by the railroad men, as It would require that trainmen going from one point to another to or from their runs would be compelled to pay fare.

PERISH ON SHIP JURY RETURNS VERDICT OF MURDER |N FIRST DEGRE* AND GRANT8 HIS WISH. THE H. B. SMITH SINKS IN OALE ON SUPERIOR. CURSES JURORS AND JUDGE Slayer of Chicago Tango Tsaehsr 'Loses His Nsrvs When Attempt at insanity Falls ts Impress the Farmer Jury. Wheaton, 111., Not. the jury, find the defendant, Henry Spen­ cer, guilty as eharged, and we fix the panalty at death,',' read the clerk. That verdict was returned on Fri­ day in the case of the state against Henry Spenber for' the murder of Mildred AlllBon Rexroat, the tango teacher, whom Spencer killed near Wayne, and whose body he left on the railroad tracks in the hope that it would be so mangled as to conceal the crime. Speacer heard the verdict read to him In the courtroom and instantly he became a wilder animal than he had been at any stage since his arrest. 'They'll hang me!" he shouted. "By God, they got me!" Then he cursed the judge, the jury, his own lawyer and himself. Spencer sank fainting into his chair. It was several minutes bofore he could be even partly revived. And then he began mumbling, a low, indistinct, al­ most gibberish succession of incom­ plete thoughts. "How does that jury kne^w I wasnt Insane? I was insane--I am craay. They think I was just acting--well, maybe I was and maybe I wasn't--the jury don't know--they just make a guess and they string me up--" Attorney Anton Zeman, who has represented the prisoner through the trial, was not present, and so Judge Slusser himself ordered an entry of the usual motion for a new trial, and set the hearing for a week from Sat­ urday. Spencer heard and jerked \u> his head and cursed his at­ torney. State's Attorney Hadley's final ad­ dress to the jury -waft a phenomenon of denunciation. The Impression gained from it was like that from see­ ing a surgeon turn a knife in a wound. 'You cannot believe that he is in­ sane. You have seen constantly that he has been playing, and playing cun­ ningly, to make you think hiiq Insane. But he has failed. It was his desper­ ate chance." I Spencer's attorney did the best be could. He omitted nothing that could be done for his client. Spencer, him­ self could scarcely restrain his impa­ tience at the futility of the pleas. 'What's the use of showing off?" he demanded. "Build your gallows and quit wasting time." The prosecutor turned to the Jury and in a stern voice demanded the death penalty for Spender. \ THREE DIE IN RACE RIOT psputy Sheriff and Two Negroes 8hot to Death Near Bass- field, Miss.

Msny Bodies of Sailors and Wreck- . SV* From Vessels Are Found * ; on the 8hore. Marquette, Mich., Nov. 16.--Thirty lives were lost and another great loss was added to the list caused by the recent lake storms, when the Henry B. Smith, carrying 10,000 tons of ore, was lost off Keweenaw Point on Lake Superior. The Hawgood Transportation com­ pany of Cleveland, owners of the ship, telegraphed Thursday for information concerning the Smith's whereabouts, stating that although five days over­ due the ship has failed to reach the Soo. The Henrjr B. Smith, with Capt. James Owen In command, loaded here and waited two days for the storm to abate. The Smith failed to reach any port on Keweenaw shore, and marine men say It is highly improbable that it is somewhere on the Canadian coast. Wreckage of a large vessel was found late in the day. It is believed the Smith sank off Standard Rock, about thirty miles from Marquette. The Henry B. Smith was of steel, 565 feet long, 55-foot beam and 30-foot depth.

BtlCTATOR FORCES ALDAPE AS MINI8TEII pIF ' :.i.,'THE INTERIOR.:v, LEADER STILL CLINQS TO JOB iProvlslonal President of Mexico Tells U< S. Envoy That Holding Leader- & ship Means Life or Death to Him-- /V Rebels Kill Prisoners. Mexico City, "NOv. 48.--Mantoel Gar sa Aldape, minister of the interior, who has taken the lead among the cabinet members in the effort to re­ open negotiations with the United States which were closed by the de­ parture of Special Envoy Lind, was forced out of Huarta's cabinet on Sunday. It was learned that the American charge, O'Shaughnessy, had seen President Huerta and from the presi­ dent himself had learned that he would not resign and would listen only to such proposals a# -were compatible with his own dignity and that of his country. The American embassy denied the truth of a report that Mr. O'Shauhnea- sy had been recalled. It had been ru­ mored he would leave for Vera Cruz. He declined to discuss it. Aldape led that group of the cabinet which held the conviction that it would be best to accede to at least that por­ tion of Washington's demands which meant the total abandonment of power by the provisional president, and Al­ dape is said to have been the only one with sufficient courage to discuss the international situation with his chief. It was he who called at the Ameri­ can embassy recently and induced Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the charge d'affaires, to send to .Washington his appeal for the reopening of the negoti­ ations. Senor Aldape's resignation was demanded at a cabinet meeting at President Huerta'S house on Sunday. Hfterta is said to have reiterated at this meeting the statement that ha would not resign, that with him It was a case of life or death, and he was disposed to play out the game. Certain intimate friends of General Huerta have been indicating to him, it la said, for, some time that the mln> ister of the interior was intriguing for the presidency and that the cabi­ net had become divided into camps. It is stated authoritatively that three ministers assured General Huer­ ta that unless the minister of the In­ terior was removed they would resign. . Senor Aldape left Sunday night for Vera Cruz. On the train with him were 200 soldiers. It was announced that his destination is France. Senor Aldape was the last remain­ ing cabinet officer appointed by agree­ ment between President Huerta and Gen. Felix Diaz at the close of the day's battle in the capital in Febru­ ary. The British minister. Sir Lionel Carden, explained that his instruc­ tions to British residents in Mexico were not in the nature of an order to leave their places of residence, except in the case of those located in more accessible towns. It was siipply a precautionary measure intended to prepare them in the event circum­ stances should demand their removal. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 18.--Two for­ mer federal officials of Juarez who were taken prisoners by Gen. Fran­ cisco Villa's rebel troops were exe­ cuted at Juares Sunday.

The executions took place at the Juarez cemetery,' the condemned men standing on the brinks bf newly dug graves and falling in when the firing' squad shot them. The rebel officers say that there 'are more executions to take place In Juarez, and that all of the federal vol­ unteer troops, federal regular and vol­ unteer army officers, will be killed. The soldiers of the regular army will be pardoned. Senator Catron of New fylexloo called on General 'Villa at Juarez and cautioned him against the wholesale execution of the federal prisoners of war. * "Villa asked me if the United States intended to intervene in Mex- ica, and I told him It was contrary to our policy." Washington, ) Nov. 18.--Secretary Bryan conferred at fKe "Wh|te House on Sunday night with President Wil­ son on the latest developments in the Mexican situation.
