Baker, whose captain vas reported
murdered, arrived here to-day and

Custer County Doings.

The wife of Harvey Bensley last
night presented to her astonished
husband q small tribute of affection
in the shape Of four infants-two
boys and two girls. Mother and
children are reported to be doing
we'll, but the emotions of the fourfold
father have not been ascertalned.
Perhaps he prefers his two pairs to
four OF q kind. A man of his calibre
should properly be entitled to at
least a gratutitous section of govern
ment land. We understand q prize
is offered for that sort of thing by
one of the Helena National Banks.

1t is reported, and on good author
ity, that on the application Of the
citizens the Trustees have thought 1t
advisable to put up q new school
house for the accommodation of the
school children living near the depot.
There are sixty children in that
neighborhood of the school age,
many of whom would be obliged to
remain away from school on account
Of the dista nee from the other school
houses. The families in that part OF
the district are to be congratulated
upon securing the new house.

The Bull Mountain Coal Road.

Speaking recently of our sister
town, which bears his name, MI.
Billings said the town would not be
made the point of departure for the
Bull Mountain coal branch. A COM
parison of the profiles of survey of
the routes from that town and by the
Buffalo creek route from near Pom
pey's Pillar showed such q strong adj
vantage in favor of the latter that
even he, much a he would have
liked to favor Billings, could not
conscientiously, as a director of the
road, vote for any other route. The
Buffalo creek road has therefore been
definitely decided upon. and the
branches will probably be built early
next year, Orders have been given
to lay the foundation for the bridge
over the Yellowstone, near the pro-
posed junction OF the branch, during
tho period of low water this year.

DR.. Weahster's Lecture.

1T. Welnsler, q Jewish Rabbi O
st. Paul, delivered a lecture in Rem
shaw Opera house last night on tn,
subject. "What has.Preserved Israe
Among the Nations" The lecture,
began by speaking of the change
among nations, their rise, declin,
and disappearance, while Israel i.
now the Oldest nation on earth. III,
compared Israel to an edifice, and
asked the question what had bull,
and continued the edifice. The ques
ton was interesting from a scientific
as well as moral standpoint. Not.
withstandlng the prosecutions and
the dispersions of Israel the nation
had steadily increased. Moses led
out of Egypt 100000 people-the
Jews now number over 1000, 900.
Israel had always been called the
chosen people Of God, but this is be-
cause to them was given the law OF
God. Other nations have been Gods
people as well as Israel. The gentle
man stated that one of the most i'm
portant facts in the preservation of
Israel was the dispersion at the de-
structlon of the second temple.
The foundation upon which Israel
has built his institutions is the be-
lief that there is only one God. This
has been his belief from the begin
ming, and when other nations Were IN
darkness. The principles OF Israel's
faith he divided into four classes /:
Duties to God, to enc self, to our fel-
low creatures, this includes plants
and animal,-and duties to Our fellow
men.
The workmen engaged in this work
were Israels teachers, philosophers,
poets and prophets. The world has
not in any of these departments
shown any individuals who were sua
perior to those of Israel.
The laws of Israel have also pre-
served the nation. This he argued
from = scientific stand point. The
enactment against eating pork was
argued as being for the preservation
of life; other enactments as being
good sanitary precautions.
Israel is also a temperate, charita-
BILE and benevolent nation. These
have helped to preserve the nation.
Confidence in God has been q most
important factor in the preservation
of the nation. In all their persecu-
tons they have never lost confidence
in Him. He said that the great
danger to Israel to-day is that the
rising generation of Isralites may
not be sufficiently taught the prin-
ciples of their religion. They are to
be taught in the home life in the
family. These are duties Isralites
owe to their God and to their chill
dren.
Concerning the return to Jerusa-
lem and the restoration of the temple
he said progressive Judaism does
not look for any such thing. The
whole world is to be Jerusalem and
wherever an Israllite shall reside he
is to be useful to his fellow men.
Progressive Judaism does not look
for q personal Messiah. The Messiah
It expects is to be an influence-that
shall bring all men to the belief that
God Is one and his name one.
The gentleman labored under the
disadvantage of speaking in q Ian
guage other than his native tongue,
which often made it an effort on the
of his hearers to understand
what he said. It was q good,
lecture and delivered
with earnestness.
