A Volatile Army.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Secretary
Proctor is making an effort to reduce
desertiOns in the army to a minimum,
and is giving the subject much personal
attention. He receives monthly re-
ports from all the regiments, show
ing the desertions during each
month. The reports for November
have been tabulated and show 15S
assertions from the force of $4,000 en-
listed men. The assertions among the
colOred regiments are fewer than
among the white troops. The greatest
number of assertions was at Preside
Barracks, San Francisco, where thir-
teen men out of SAT stationed there
took French leave last month.

Political Circles SurpriAed.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 20.-Political
circles are surprised at the announce
ment that that widely recognized or.
gan of Democracy, the Albany Argus,
has been supplanted as the official State
paper by the Albany Evening Times.
of which I. c. Calcott, a stanch Hill
admirer, is the editor. The patronage
in the way of advertising is heavy. To
be designated the ''State paper" has
always been a coveted distinction.
This is the first time in half century
that the Argus has been thus openly
sighted as the party organ.

A GREAT BREAK UP.
Split In the Western States Railway Pas
senger Association.

Split in the Western States Railway Pas
senger Association.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The Western
States Railway Passenger Association
was dissolved at meeting of the gen.
eral managers of the lines in the assO-
citation yesterday afternoon.
Ten days ago at meeting of the
association the matter of the cOntinu-
ance was put in the hands of the gem
eral managers. This action was taken
on account of the withdrawal from
membership of the Burlington & North
ern and Minneapolis & ST. Louis, which
absolutely refused to remain members
unless the Wisconsin Central showed
to the members secret contracts on
passenger business in accordance with
the association agreement. This the
Wisconsin Central refused to do. In
addition to this, at yesterdays session
the Wisconsin Central absolutely re-
fused to remain member unless it was
allowed a differential rate.
As soon as the managers fairly re-
allied the import of the demand q
resolution was passed dissolving the
association and throwing the whole
blame on 1.-THE prepOstsiOus demands
of one of the members.n 1t was also
voted impossible to form any new as
ISOLATION with the same members UNI
less the Wisconsin Central should mod
| crate its demands.
The Western State Passenger As
ISOLATION has been the largest and,
owing to its membership, the most inn
portant in a rate preserving sense Of
any of the passenger associations of the
country.
The Western and Southwestern lines
will undoubtedly form new assOcia-
ton, leaving the Northwestern lines to
| fight out their own salvation.

Corn as n Fuel,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. ga
special from Hiawatha, Kan, says
that the farmers of that vicinity
are burning corn for fuel, finding it
cheaper than coal. Corn is sold on
the farm at 20 cents per bushel,
while the average price of coal
delivered at the farm ranges from
twenty-one to twenty-three cents
per bushel. The Farmers AL
lance here brought the attention of
the farmers to the relative prices of
the two commodities and advised
that half the corn crop be used as
fuel, thus advancing the price of
the other half and saving money in
their fuel bills. The farmes have
begun to act on this advice.

TIME E. C. 1904, October, at
the time of the feast of tabernacles
in the twelfth year of Solomon's
reign. PLAcE.-Jerusalem, within
the temple-courts.
OPENING WORDS.
The temple was begun in May,
B. C. 1912. 1t was built on Mount
Moriah, the eastern hill of Jerusa-
lem. A large additional area was
needed for the open spaces and
courts about the building. This
temple platform was formed by
walling up the spaces required and
filling it until the proper level was
attained. This of itself was a great
work. The temple was dedicated
at the time of the Feast of Taber-
nacles, eleven months after its COM
pletion. Great multitudes were
present, and the dedication was
celebrated with great pomp and
splendor. Numerous sacrifices
were offered, and the ark was
brought from the tabernacle where
David had deposited it, and placed
within the holy of holies. The
temple was filled with a cloud, the
token of Jehovah's presence. Solo
mon offered the prayer of dedica-
ton. Our lesson to-day completes
the record of these solemn services
of dedication. Study carefully
chapters 6-S, and the parallel ac-
count of 2 Chron. 81.

change, some knives and spoons,
amounting to about s12. They also

and took about a dollar in change,
some cakes and tobacco. The pre-
else amount taken is not known.
The back door of DR.. Welch's Of

Those that know the family best
can't believe for a moment that any
of them car be guilty. 1t is hoped
that the guilty party may be found,
so that no suspicion will be attach
