FATHER MEsPLIER, an Indian missionary for
the last thirty years, tells in other columns the
crimson story Of seven OF our principal Indian
wars. His large experience with the Indians and
his close observations Of border life for SO many
years give n peculiar value TO his opinions on
this intricate and vexatous question.

The Great wal, OF China.

The great wall of China was measur-
ed in many places by Mr.. Unthapk. an
American engineer, lately engaged on
survey for o Chinese railway. His meas.
urements give the height at eighteen feet
and q width on top Of 6fteeufeet. Ev-
cry few hundred yards there is tower
twenty-four feet square and from twenty
totHanty ldse feet high. The founda.
tioa OF the wall Is of solid granite. Mr..
Unthank bfought with him a brick from
the wall. which is supposed to have been
made 800 years before the time OF Christ.
In building this immense stone fence to
Keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
10 save expense. For 1,30O miles the
wall DOCS over plain and mountain, and
svery foot Of the foundation is in solid
granite, and the rest of the structure
solid masonry. In some places the wall
is bailt smooth up against the bank or
eanonsos precipioes, where there is q
sheer descent OF 1000 feet Small
streams are arched over, but in the lar
ger streams the wall runs to the waters
edge, and q tower is built on each side.
On the,sopiof the wall there are breast
&crks, or defenses, facing in and out,
80 the defending forces can pass from
one tower 10 another without being ex-
posed to any enemy from either side
To calculate the time OF building or cost
Of this Wallis beyond human skill. So
fss as the magnitude OF the work is CON
cerned. 1t surpasses everything in an

any trace, The pyramids Of Egypt are

BIBLE MEETING-A very interesting
meeting to all classes of Christians, was
held at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday evening. 1t was addressed by
Rev. o. j. Squires, District Superinten-
dent of the American Bible Society for
Iowa, who presented some interesting
statistics of the rise and progress of the
Bible cause, and urged it's claims on the
attention and iberality of the public
with much force and earnestness. From
the discourse we gather that at the
opening of the present century there
was no general organization for printing
and publishing the Bible in the world.
In 1904 the British and Foreign Bible
Society was organized, which now pub
fishes yearly 100000 copies of the
Scriptures in 257 languages. In 1876
the American Bible Society was orga-
nized, which has published 100000
copies of the Bible in 65 languages, and
is widening it's sphere of usefulness.
There are q other general Bible organi-
cations which have published 144,OO0,-
600 copies. The American Bible Socie-
ty has recently changed it's method of
carrying on it's work, and instituted eco
nomical reform without impairment of
it's efficiency. 1t has enlarged the
sphere of it's superintendent and redu-
ced the number from 40 to 10, Iowa
having one for the whole State. The
The speaker alluded to the condition of
our county society, which is in debt to
the parent Society $137, and stimula ted
his hearers to renewed diligence and in
! teyest in the cause.

Rowdyism and drunkenness held high
revel in our city last Saturday night.
One incident of the occasion was regu-
lar ring fight between two nice young
men who would not like to see their
names in print in connection with the
performance, but who assuredly will up
on the repetition of anything of the kind.
Another performance of the same even
ing was by a crowd of roughs, headed by
Hank Artus, who procured quantity
of beer and assembled at Gregory's
cooper shop to have drunk. When
they had got into such state as to
make hog respectable by comparison,
the attention of the night watch was
called to the orgy. Upon attempting to
restore quiet, however, he was roughly
handled and desisted. The next day in
formrtion was filed against three of the
crowd and the better part of two days
was consumed in the trial, which result
ed in verdict of no cause of action. 1t
was plain issue between the police and
the rowdy element, and at cost to the
city of from $50 to $780, the principle
has been established that when crowd
of lawless bummers take notion to get
drunk and disturb the peace, besides en-
dangering property, the police force
must keep their hands off. 1t is les
son that will not probably be lost on the
officers, and the bummcrs will not be
slow to take advantage of their en-
larged privileges.
