today undoubtedlyduoretary Long sent Saturday to have the Investigation begun at the earliest pos sible moment The telegram was dated Saturday so tile board should have arrived there before nightfall and be ready to begin its work this morn lug By an error incident to tho baste with which the orders were gotten out the first accounts placed Lieutenant Commander Beaten Schroeder on tho board as the third member while as a matter of fact LieutenantCommander Potter tho executive officer of the flag placeTho have started earlier but for the necessity of awaiting the arrival at ICey West from Washington of LieutenantCommander Mnrlx u naval officer well skilled In tho intricacies of marine law who Is to be judge advocate of the court Capt SIgsbco was heard from late Saturday night but the telegram was not delivered at tho navy department mtll yesterday morning His message went to confirm the press reports of the events in Havana far as they relate to the exploration of the wreck It read as follows HAVANA Feb 19 Only most experienced wrecking divers can do effective work on the Maine In the upper work I I can use service divers Did some work today but with little success Will do better tomorrow Parts of the Maine especially the superstructure and connections are one con fused mass of metal The statement referring to expe rienced divers is explained at the navy department as no reflection upon the men now engaged in the worle they being enlisted men belonging thonavy It Is the practice on board of menof war to assign a few men always volunteers on account of tho hazardous nature of the work to duty as divers III connection with their regular work The scopo of their work is the ex ploration of tho ships ottom goner ally tho disentanglement of cables from the propeller shafts and some times the search for a lost torpedo or anchor Such work rarely car ties them deeper than 25 feet Into tho water and it is said that for operations in deeperwa tel such as would be involved In the examination of tho Maines bottom their training has not fitted them They are also lacking in that kind of skill necessary to enable a diver to grope his way into the interior parts of u mighty ship like tho Maine torn and dismembered us she is and this work ishighly dangerous Creeping through narrow ironbound passages and groping for the doors of the numerous watertight bulkheads which divide tho hull Into many compartments on slimy floors and in perfect darkness requires the highest expert skill and that is why Capt Slgsbcc with only lila sailor divers at command had not been able to do much so far towards unraveling this mystery of tho Maines Untimely end thattieffort to hasten the beginning of tho worle of recovery of the goodsand per haps the raising of the hull by pro fessionals To that end Capt Lemly the judge advocate general of the de partment was at work yesterday in his office with representatives of wrecking companies trying to draw up contracts for the immediate prosecution of the work Ho has been at tile task now two days and it has not been easy to dispose of This is owing to an ap parent disposition on the part at least of one concern to drive ahard bargain leaving tho department in the dark as to the amount of money to be paid for their services- But it is believed that tho obstacles kayo now been surmounted and that the contracts can bo signed today It is tho purpose of Capt Lemly to hurry this worknnd to this end he is arrang lug to have two of the companies conk blno their forces They will be paid on the scale of days work with a pro vision for a bonus if they succeed in raising tho vessel thus insuring the 5ovcry of as much of tho valuab o West Virginia is now more highgrade p producingI any otherState in the England has

South America against theUnit States 4 vj1I equipments as is possible should It not bo practicable to float tho Maine again Great difficulty Is expected in re covering the big teninch turret guns each worth 840000 owing not only to their own wcight50 tons apiece without carriages but to tho enormous turrets inclosing them with 100 tons of steel It is doubtful if the tops of these turrets can be removed as was at first supposed by cutting oil tho bolt heads that fix them to the sides as these large bolts ore probably countersunk and the heads below tho surface of tho metal while tho confined space within tin turrets would make it very difficult to operate there on tho inside ends under waterIt hoped that it may be feasible to raise tho turrets entire with the guns if lifting apparatus of sufficient power can bo applied Tho newspaper reprodaetlons of pho tographs taken of tho wreck were studied with much interest tho naval officers hero yesterday Great surprise was expressed at the extent of the wreck and tIme vast mass of steel and iron heaped in the forward lart of tho ship was u particular object of attention The experts who had first ventured the theory of a bursting boiler as tho cause of the destruction claim to find strong reinforcement in the pictures for that belief The great mass of metal appear to be thrown up over the boiler space and not over tho forward magazine while time forcing apart forward of tho hull they say might havo been accomplished by tho enormous expan sivo power of thin high pressure steam carried in these boilers with their shells more than an inch thick As to what might havo caused a boiler to explode whether a disguised bomb in tho coal low water or construc tion they do not undertake to say Secretary Long said yesterday after noon after looking over his telegraphic and mail correspondence that it con tamed nothing of importance beyond the dispatches above given The secretary referred with satisfac tion to the dlspaloi stating that the court of would assemble at Ha vana today The plan had been for the court to meet first at Key West and after doing such work as was possible there to proceed to Havana But Mr Long thought it was desirable to have tho court proceed nt once to Havana where tho inquiry could begin on time actual scene of disaster and where personal inspec tions would aid in an intelligent judg mont On this account the secretary sent orders for the court to proceed direct to Havana and tho response of I Admiral Sicard is In accordance wllhI these orders THE VIZCAYA AT ANCHOR The lUg Spanish

thus far during this month under the Dingley law make a most fav orable showing and everything points to a total revenue for this February sufficient to meet all necessary Government expenses With this point reached another foothold for the calamity howler slips away THE figures from the Treasury Department are getting better and brighter Receipts for this month have reached an average of more than a million dollars a day and it is believed that the receipts for the month will reach 29000000 The total expense of the govern ment is about one milliondollars a day on an average Thus in this short time the Dingley law seems to have reached the point where it serves the purpose intended by its projectorsto meet the neces sary government expenses Circulation The freesilveritcs will probably in the coming campaign continue to insist as they did in the Bryan campaign that their free silver idea is the only plan which can in crease the currency of the country In view of the late claim to this ef fect and the probability that the claim will again be set up it will be interesting to remember the following comparison of money in circulation the first of this month with money in circulation the first of the month in which Mr Bryan was nominated Money la Circulation In the United States February i 1898 1729991228 July i 1896 1507434966 Gain in 19 months 223556262 Good Roads Mark Twain tells a story of a minister who was once driven over a road which was so bad that he declared that if he ever went to hell he wanted to be driven over that road because he would be glad when he got there While everyone is convinced that good roads are a blessing little has been done in Western Kentucky toward getting good roads Our works have not kept pace with our faith The people in general do not seem to realize the absolute necessity of good roads nor of the important effect they have toward stimulating com merce and therefore vitally effect ing our progress and our prosper ityA writer who is vitally interested in the question of good roads exclaims Mud is only fit for politicians to throw at each other It makes bad roads But some times even the dry dirt on an improved road is used by politicians to pelt an official up for reelec tion who has committed himself- to the idea of road improvement- and conscienciously tried to do something in this line for the good of the public at large While such- a thing is deplorable it is entirely- in line with the work of the office seeker whose policy is to advocate that which he thinks may find a popular response in the hearts of the voters Such is only fit for po litical campaigns and should find no place in the transactions of daily life and business We are unalterably opposed to mud throwing in any form But if there ever w sa case in which it could be justified seems to us that a coat of actual badroad loblplly mud would not be inap propriate for the man or men upon whom rest the responsibility of ad ministering our road lawsbut who for fear of giving offense to lazy or thriftless men who only put in Vime on the public roads that they may get rid of Jihe job and escape 4a fine or for leftr of the charge of extravagance made for political ef feet and seconded by those whose purSe strings are always tied are lax in their plain dtityuderthe law Vbich so far as It goes provides for good honest work on our public roads that will make them at least passable There are some encouraging features in the road question in Hopkins county Our roads are of dirt with some sections of coal slack here and there and quite a number of miles of machine graded roads have been built both by pri vate parties and by ihe county Several iron bridges have replaced the old and worn wooden structures What the future may bring forth is a matter of speculation but we hope for the best County Judge John Hall retains his seat but the fiscal court is differently constituted Formerly the Fiscal court was composed of three Republican and three Democratic magistrates Now there are seven magistrates all DemocratsThe for better roads is growing everywhere and they must come sooner or later Let it be sooner If our State laws are not sufficient to give us good roads let us make better laws and keep up with the procession of States in this effort to better the condition of the farmer and all other frequenters of the public road materially socially and every way Soils and Tobacco Bradslreets Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has authorized the issue in pam phlet form of a preliminary report on the soils of the principal to bacco districts in the United States prepared by Milton Whit ney chief of the division of soils A study of these soils was begun when the tobacco exhibit was being prepared for the Columbian Exposition at Chicago and since that time quite a number of typical tobacco soils have been examined in the laboratory connected with the Agricultural Department The present publication which is co piously illustrated is a preliminary report of the work that has been going on The main points of inquiry which now reach the de partment are in regard to the kind of tobacco raised The tobacco plant says the report readily adapts itself to a great range of climatic conditions will grow on nearly every kind of soil and has a comparatively short season of growth It can there fore as a matter of fact be grown in nearly all parts of the country even where wheat and corn cannot be econominally produced But while tobacco can so universally be grown the flavor and quality of the leaf are greatly influenced by the conditions of climate and soil A nondescript tobacco is not worth growing and should not be grown as it lowers the price of really good types of tobacco to the detri ment alike of grower and the con sumer It is important therefore to understand what kinds of to bacco are in demand and what the climatic and soil conditions are which will most easily produce the qualities desired uA glance at a table giving changes in the production of to bacco from 1879 to 1889 shows that in this period of ten years the acreage and yield of the cigar to baccos have been very consider ably increased The manufactur ing and export districts cannot be sharply separated as both kinds of tobacco are frequently grown in the same district and the same kind is frequently used for both purposes On the whole there has been a considerable decrease- in the acreage and yield With the bright yellow and burly to baccos there has been a large in crease in both acreage and yield Since 1889 there has been consid erable change in many of these districts while other new districts notably Texas and California are coming into considerable promi nence both as to the area under cultivation ana the excellent qual ity of the product raised acreage in Florida has also very greatly increased since 1889 but there arc no reliable statistics- to show the extent of the changes in the counties making up the to bacco districts THE NEW WARSHIPS Kearaage and Kentucky the Near est Completed Washington Feb 22In addi tion to the other preparations for war that are being made by the Navy and War Departments con siderable attention is being given to the early completion of the five battleships that are in course of construction at Newport News San Francisco and Philadelphia Secretary Long and Congress are anxious to ascertain how soon these ships of war can be made ready for duty in case hostilities are begun With this object in view conferences have been held both at the Capitol and Navy Department with the contractors for the ships and the representatives- of the armor plate companies Of the five battleships under contract the Kearsage and Kentucky are ones nearest completion are being built at Newport News Va and are more than twothirds completedThey to be launched next month and the company has informed Secretary Long that if necessary they can have the boats ready for the Government by December next Good Citizen Dead Elkton Ky Feb 22A well known citizen ol Todd county has just passed away in the person of Mr John Grissom of the Kirk

Pithy Com munication on the Subject W S Sterrett who is said to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in this district in a recent humorous let ter to the Breckinridge News recom mends that the people send him to Congress and says Ill make just four promises which are Ill draw my salary in advance if pos sible Ill send no seed Ill bust tbe civil service law and Ill try to reform the currency so that every body will get some of it This docs not sound much like a Congressman but there is more of the statesman and philosopher in his letter about poverty which is worth quoting Now for the poverty business We SunII313daysf 294daylightsman is sick twenty days and he has left 274U days he must give up four days to attend funerals of relatives and friends and about eight days listening to the music of the clods as they fall upon the boxes of his enemies making a dozen days off which leaves him 262U days These few days seem brief enough to indeed to the indus

machinery breaks down or his wife goes off on a visit or his house burns down or upaccording- to the Insuranceand he down for 62 days which of course leaves the poor man but 20o days But this not all his employer beats him out of 27 days pay enoughto keep Jeeminykraut from joining the church and doing several other little things be ought to do We find him now with only 1743 days left Then be spends ten days in going to political meet gfogpictureframebuys some of tbe Jim jam or dam dim orna ments that nobody knows what they are used for Mr Jeeminykraut may have do wife but somebodys wife will no the same thing for Jeeminy and this this feature of the drama sets him back daysy And tbe story is not quite told He spends 45 days looking for work He looks so patiently that his eyes hurt and then Jeeminykraut spends five days In looking for a pair of glasses to protect his eyes and the poor devil then has only the 5o3 days coming to him But he collects what is due and on the last Saturday night of the last week of tbe year be goes up town gleefully jingling his quarterlorquarterforborne lots ol nice things for wife and babies Jeeminykrants mind is thoroughly made up to has no mind He gets his three drinks and three more and then thirty and presently be is happy and knows where can find plenty of money tomorrow and all that I pays no bills takes nothing homed jd The Worlds

the city of Henderson to establish a free high school The Senate also passed the W O Jones bill as amended in committee to regulate fees and charges of stock yards This affects the charges forIottage wat rink and weighting cattle etc The bill in part is as follows Sec 3 That the charges for lottage watering and weighing cattle shall not ex ceed twenty cents per head for cattle weigh- Ing 400 pounds or over under 300 pounds ten cents for bogs five cents and sheep four cents per head and in no case shall the charges exceed five dollars per car for single deck nor ten dollars for double deck Mr Sargent of Christian intro duced a bill today providing that the jurisdiction of police courts in sixthclass towns shall not be limo ited to the city limits Both houses of the General As sembly

morning the rules were suspended and the bill appropriat ing 30000 for improvements at the Lexington Asylum and 5400 for buying land at Lakeland Asylum were advanced Congressman Rhea and exSen ator Blackburn visited andad dressed the House today Both of course assailed the McKinley administration as best they could A few levelheaded Democrats refusing to bow down and worship at the Goebel shrine declined to go into the Democratic caucus on the Goebel bill last night and it looks as if the Kenton candidate was up against it good and strong today and that the split over this bill will not be healed for some time A majority of the Democrats signed the call for the caucus but the minority declined to go into it claiming that a joint caucus could not rightfully be held after the bill has passed the Senate Frankfort Ky Feb 21The Republicans arc raising the point that the Prison Commission bill was signed by Morgan Chinn who was acting Speaker They say the bill should have been signed by Speaker Beckham and further say that there was not a quorum pres ent during the reading of the bill They are urging that the Governor send the bill back to the House with a special message that it be enrolled again and properly signed They hope by this to get delay and lose sufficient time to kill the bill Very few members are here to day About half of them are at home and will not return until

MINES An English syndicate has recently pur chased 55000 acres of coal and timber land in Tennessee Quite a number of the Hecla miners were called to Madisonville last week to attend court as witnesses Mr Jake McEuen of the St Bernard force at St Charles made a brief business visit here last Saturday Dock Griffin says threats dont go with him and the agitator who undertakes to carry them into execution will come to grief Business of great Importance Pres ident J B Atkinson to Louisville and other points last week- Foreman Thomas Robinson of the Em pire mines and John Hogan of Hecla insist that they will soon start for the Klon dike regions in search of gold Among the reasons advanced for the explosion the great battleship Maine is the one that a bomb was concealed in a lump of coal- Another Kentucky coal mining company was last week incorporated at Frankfort with a capital of 25000 to be known by the name of Tbe Lilly Coal Co J J McGregor was one of the petit jurors during the present term of circuit court and his young brother wishes court was over as he feels rather lonesome in the mine by himself That miner who takes such pleasure in hauling and displaying beer kegs at the depot does not in the least raise himself in the estimation of the public or his employer Organizer Smith who claims to be such a lover of laboring men and we are told also told of good liquors left us last week for a brief visit to greener pastures in the vicinity of Central City Every effort made by the legislature to comraartoother freight Is an indiscreet stab at the coal business throughout the State and should be resented by tbe voter at the poles Statistics of strikes in Franco during 1897 show that 9841 persons were Involved in 476 strikes In most instances the strikers demanded an increase of wages Sexty per cent of the strikes proved failures 30 per cent were compro mised and to per cent were successful Bessie the sixyearold daughter of Mrs Mary Wadsworlb of Philadelphia died last week Tbe deceased In company with her mother has on several occasions visited W D Caviness a relative of theirs and was much loved by all who made hero ac qualntance while here and they are much grieved 10 hear of her death Rumor says that recently the operator of the Basket mine in Henderson county has been compelled on account of tbe decrease- In coal orders to lay off about twentyfive men and now these men with other prop erty holders of that vicinity think seriously- of opening up anotber mine at that place Our informant says work on the new shaft will commence this week but before taking such a step they should bear in mind that the more mines opened and tbe correspondIngless work for tbe miner An exchange speaking of the Maine dis aster says Since tbe spontaneous com bustion theory has come so prominently to the front as accounting for the disaster the officials have been looking over the records to find a parrallel case as near as may be The flagship New York was discovered to be on fire Much 9 1896 Smoke was issuing from her main maga zine This was cleared of powder safely and it was found that the woodwork bad been charred Tbe cause was not at first perceptible but it was soon dis covered that an adjoining coal bunker was burning Wben the bunker was opened tbe coal on top was not hot but as tbe men dug into the mass it was found to be redbot inside There was no manifesta tion of beat on the top of the bunker nor on any save the one side next the maga zinc That startled tbe naval officers and the constructors make a considerable aIr- space between the bunkers and tbe maga zine It is an evident fact that although our miners here may not be above the average In intelligence they have learned some things by experience and observation in connection organizations which at this lime proves of great value to them They have seen socalled labor organiza tions spring up like mushrooms in a nights time upon promises that if they could be carried out would virtually take charge of the mines regardless of what the operator would say and run the same to suit them selves They have seen the same organi zations go to pieces after futile efforts to carry these same resolutions into effect for lack of public sentiment to support them in their absurd demands They have also seen these same fellows pull off by them selves and open up a mine upon the prom ise of increased work and wages with a decrease in both work and wages and finally abandon their pet organization altogether Such facts as these at this lime when tbe pretended benefactor Is roaming around trying to getfifty cents per bead to organ ize them is of great value to them and as a burnt child dreads the fire to do tbe Hopkins county miners with few excep lions abhor the presence of the agitator and for that reason cold water is thrown on their movements when they try to ar ray labor against capital The Courier Journal lately had this to say of the effort made by yellow journals to prejudice tbe public mind aga jury now trying tbe case against Sheriff Martin at Wilkesbatre Pennsylvania- It ought to be but it is not From the time the jury was selected down through every day of the testimony at tempts have been made to Inflame the public mind into the belief that the verdict has been predetermined ano will bo against the law and tbe Two notoriously yellow journals and a pack of dema gogues who assume to speak for tbe labor ingclasses are responsible This has gone so far that tbe Judge felt called upon the other day to rebuke tbe correspondents from the bench One feature of tbe criticisms is note worthy It is the assertion expressed and implied upon every occasion that the ju rors will be determined in their conclusions through prejudice since they are all native born Americans and that therefore they are prejudiced against the miners who are mostly foreigners- No are on the jury and it Is a representative body The campaign of detraction and imputa tion thus begun has been kept up ever since by the yellow journals and by tbe agltatoro who swarm around Wllkesbarre So much feeling has been excited that Mr Samuel Gompers refused an introdnctlon to the the olber day asserting that he was so despotic and unfair in his rul- Ings tbat no honest man could shako hands wtbhlm- Tbls desperate to break down the respect

the present difficulties with Spain Whether the war sentiment or whether the peace sentiment should be encouraged in this country re questions of more than ordi y importance inas much as aggravated war sentiment might unjustly precipitate us into an expensive war while that of peace will surely bring internecine strife Foreign complications tend to dissipate internal disorders act with a restraining influence on the disposition of bur people to divide into sections against each other and to draw us closer together in sympathy against the common enemy The absence of the war spirit would lay us open to many difficulties the most important of which would be the danger result ing from the concentration of one partys venom on the other a rabid sectionalism The two great financial parties of the present ore rapidly becoming sectional and if sectional sentiment is not dissipat ed there is a strong possibility of disruptionThe features of the de bating society appear to be well

county that are in danger of destruction by the raid erStThe guards were ordered out upon the request of some of the most reputable citizens of Jessa mine county In their petitition they stated that County Judge Phillips had been requested to fur nish the necessary guards but that he had refused to furnish more than two for each gate which would practically give the raiders full swing Seven Men for each Wine The Governors instructions to Capt Wilson were to place seven men at each gate time entire force to be at his command to remain on guard until further notice The telegram received by the Governor stated that the town of Nicholasville was crowded by the country people who were talking in a threatening manner and that immediate action was necessary- In speaking of his action in call ing out the soldiers the Governor said I will order them out when ever I think it necessary for the protection of the property of pri vate citizens There has been some adverse criticisms at my act ions in this matter by certain newspapers who have often made it appear that I was getting ready to order the soldiers out when there was absolutely no truth in the statement I will not hesitate to make such

by the Rev D M Stearns Copyright 1S97 by D M Stearns 20 Then began Ho to upbraid the cities wherein most of Ills mighty works wero dono becnuso they repented not Before Ho choso tho twelve Ho had boon about nil tho cities and Tillages teaching preaching and healing and after Ho had chosen and Instructed them Ho continued to teach and preach In their cities chap ters Iz 85 xl 1 Ho never seemed to rest except when Ho had to because night had come but oven then Ho sometimes spent tho night in prayer Being anointed with tho Holy Spirit anti with power Ho went about doing good and healing all that wcro oppressed of tho dovll for God was with Him Acts x 88 God Is not willing thaf any should perish but that all should como to repentance II Pet Ill 0 Even tho awful judgments of tbo period of tho great tribulation will bo poured out in order that men may repent according tailor lx 20 21 xvi 0 11 8184 It Bhall bo jnoro tolerable for Tyro and Sidon for Sodom and Gomorrah than for tho cities in which Ho had dono Ills mighty works Tho peoplo of Klnovah and tho queen of Shcba shall condemn thoso who heard n greater than Jonah or Solomon yet repented not chapter xII 41 411Dut when will this boP Ho an swers at tho day of judgment and He knows for Ho is tho appointed Judge God commandeth all men everywhere to repent becauso Ho hath appointed day in tho which Ho will judgo tho world in right eousness by tho man whom Ho hath ordained whereof Ho hath given assurance unto nil men In that Ho hath raised Kim from tho dead Acts xvll 80 81 Not only will every ono of us glvo account of himself to God but God will bring every work into judgment with ovcry secret thing whether It be good or whether it be evil Every idlo word that men shall speak they shall glvo account thereof in tho day of judgment Rom xlv 13 Eccl xII 14 Math xii 80 Yet wo must not think of a BO called general judgment day when all who havo over lived from Adam to tho kingdom shall appear at ono grand assize but rather let us get tho mind of God which is briefly this All who are saved by Jesus blood can see on Calvary that tho judgment for their sins is past Isa xlIII 85 John v 84 but all saved ones must appear at tho judgment scat of Christ that their service as such may bo tried with tho possibility of loss or approval Rom xlv 10 II Cor v 10 I Cor ill 14 15 25 At that time Jesus answered and said I thank theo 0 Father Lord of heav en and earth because thou hast hid these things from tho wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes Thank God for all tho babes who are willing to believe every word their Heavenly Father tells them Tho wise and prudent in their own estimation must continue to walk in tho light of their own lire and in tho sparks that they have kindled Isa I 11 because they are too wise to accept Gods light Tho world by Its wisdom knows not God I Cor I 81 26 Even so Father for so it seemed good in Thy sight In the French this verso reads Yes My Father this is so because that Thou hast found It good Wo must remember that tho words at that time of tho last verso direct us to tho time when servants were doubting Theyhadher a friend of publicans and sinners Even John tho Baptist In his lonely prison seemed to bo listening to Batons doubts do not condemn him till you havo tried to put yourself in his place and under all these and much worso as tho time of Ills awful agony drew nigh Ho was content to havo it so if only tho Father might bo glorified in Him 27 All things arc delivered unto Mo of My Father and no man knowcth tho Son but tho Father Neither knoweth any man tho Father save tho Son and ho to whomsoever tho Son will reveal Him Tho Father lovcth tho Son and hath given nil things into His hand John ill 85 It makes us thinkof the words of Abrahams servant concerning tho only son Unto him bath ho given all that ho hath Gen xxiv 86 No ono but tho Father in heav en ever fully understood tho Son of God and no ono but tho Son knows tho Father or can make Him known If therefore you would know God It must bo by knowing Christ for His words still hold good He that hath seen Me hath seen tho Father John xlv 0 All things include all power in heaven and on earth Math xxvlll 18 power over all enemies so that Ho need not have submitted to a single thing unless Ho chose to 28 Como unto Mo all yo that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Unless wo consider as wo have sought to do tho circumstances under which Ho uttered these words wo will miss much of their force Ho was hu manly speaking weary and heavy laden because of tho unbelief and Ingratitude of those Ho sought to help and Ho found Ills rest in tho will of God and His meek ac ceptanco of tho same manifested in His Yes My Father Mr Spurgcon used to say that ho saw in this verso a great proof of our Lords divinity for when ho tried to comfort even a few heavy laden ones in his congregation ho soon found himself getting burdened so that any ono who could give rest to all tho heavy laden of earth must bo nono other than God Himself 20 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Mo for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls Not in crying and striving not in endless doing but in Him and In His love is rest not in running from Him but In running to Him In returning and rest is salva tlon and In quietness and confidence is strength Isa xxx 15 Whosoever will may take tho water of life freely and bo saved Rev xxii 17 whosoever will zany tako His meek and lowly fellowship and fled perfect peace but there is no other way If ono will insist upon his own way his own will his own rights ho can never find rest Thcro is no rest but to the meek and lowly in heart who are willing to humble themselves to walk with God and bo agreed with Him Mio vi 8 Amos ill 8 80 For My yoke is easy nnd My bur den Is light Do you not find It soP Then you want to know Him better and find out how much Ho loves you Is not His will tho wisest Is not Ills way tho best and in perfect acquiescence is there not perfect rest With confidence in Ills love and In ills wisdom accept nil as from Him who gave Himself for you and learn to 88yYes MyFatha- rPractically all

every crea turo is n command that comes to ev cry Christian with as much forco as to tho first ones to whom it was spoken No Christian can refuso to bo a mission ary without refusing to obey Christ b Every Christian has received his Chris tianity as a result of mission work Not ono of us would ever havo known Jesus Christ as a Saviour had it not been for tho missionary work of others Wo are indebted to missions ourselves for Christ Freely wo havo received Him from others freely wo should givo Him toothers o Every Christian should bo interested in saving immortal souls If wo know tho joy

prices of various articles produced and consumed by the farmeron February x 1898 and at sundry periods during the past three years It is interesting to observe that in nearly ever case farm products advanced immedi ately following the election of Pres- Ident McKinley and have continued to advance since that time The following table quotes prices on the date of the nomination of Mr Brian and the adoption of the Democratic declaration that prices could not advance except through the free coinage of silver and compares with them those of April x 1897 the nearest obtainable date to the inauguration ol President McKinley also those ol February i 1898 It will be observed that in nearly every case there has been a steady increase despite the fact that the voters of the country rc jected the silver proposition In another table is given the prices of articles which the farmer must buy similarly arranged as to dates In these articles it will be noticed that prices have fallen The
