An ax found earlr yesterday raomln at 0wtow after It oe by a bure-lar in breaking Into Ibe home of J. ena.r there, leada Sheriff laa of Clarkamae County to bellere that the murderer of Wi:ilm JltlU Mr. Hill and her to little children near Mllaukle ha croeeed the rlrer In hta fllsTht from Juettce and la headed aouth from the c-ene of hi quadruple alauchter. Three deputy hrlff were aent to Oiwrio tr Sheriff kfaas yesterday. Of a:i the evldenre collected. ue of aa ti hy the bnrilar. more than anythlnc elee. rave lnestle;ators of the arch rrla-.e renewed hope that they wera on the trail of the murderer. Rnterlna the Ktr.-r home after forr'.na the window with an ax taken from the barn, the buralar carried the at Into the house a If prepared to commit murdr. M' and Wrm. Klnfr wece not at home.

While these articles were thought to have been left bv tha murderer, their recovery after search of the house of death haa not been reported, and tracing of them may play an Important part In running down the murderer.

Krien-ls and otter strangers had Joined In aendlng many flowers, and the amount of floral offerings waa so great aa to pilule tha attendants In their distribution.

When our Chris tian Endeavor Societies struggle with street meetings, vital charities and ' evangellxatrsn In tha church, tha city and the world, they live. Bui wnen the eoclety la content with testimonies, socials and conaecratlon meeting, it simply exists. -The church that has Ufa la surely burdened, troubled In heart at tha evil forrea among us, which. If not thwarted, will bring ruin. A church with Ufa la horrified at tha thought that 1S0O ar rests wera made In this city during tha last 11 months, and that of theaa Tie were women. Mlsalonarlea come to ua In language Just aa plain as thte con cerning tha ravagea of aln. In heathen lands and our false modesty does not trouble ua. but woe to tha minister who would Invite attention to tha heathenism at our very door."
