His text was Job, XIII 81: "Acquaint now thy
self with Him. and be at peace: thereby good

THE Book of Job enters into discussion that
first began in the Garden of Eden, and that is
treated in all the books of the Bible down to the

The Jews considered their God just God, and
believed that evil came from God only special
punishment for particular sin. To them a man
was good if his life flowed on smoothly, and bad
in proportion to the evil he suffered The Book
of Job discusses this particular question. Job is
a good man, but great misfortune happens to
him; and his friends friends generally do on
such occas ons-thought it proper time to give
him good advice. Eliphaz tells him at great length
wherein he had been a very bad man rather than
a good one, and admonishes him of his duty to

Now. there are different ways in which we may
acquaint ourselves with God. There are certain
laws governing different phases of our life. and
God never changes or interferes with these laws.
We see one man of good constitution who takes
good care of his body. That man is acquainted
with God and will have good health. Here is an
other man pale and sickly. perhaps in consump-
ton. That man is out of harmony with God
physically, but he may be acquainted with God
spiritually, his soul may be growing in immortal
purity. There is also law governing business.
Here is man born with business capacity. He
may be very bad man, but his ability enables
him to increase his store of this world goods. In
the shadow Of that mans house may live another
who loves humanity and is ever ready to help
those poorer than himself. He may do good all
his life but he will remain poor because he has
not the business faculty. He is acquainted with
God spiritually.
spiritual acquaintance with God is the bes t

ago at Whitesboro, Mendocino county, and
they lived happily together until the wife
became infatuated with Dan. Callaghan. a
Eureka saloonkeeper, and ran away with
him about six months ago. They were fol-
lowed to this city by Sanders, who traced
his wife to 526 Pine street. where she was
living with Callaghan. He went there
bent on killing Callaghan, but bloodshed
was averted as Callaghan happened to be
out at the time. There was a reconcilia-

police say that the next heard of Mrs. San

she was placed by her husband Sanders

mad done the work as required by the con-
tract.
It is averred that Perrin and Reilly were
also guilty of making false affidayits, and
Perrin and others, in addition, are charged
with conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment
The defendants were all indicted for
forgery. They took exceptions to the in
dictment, coniending, among other things
that the offense alleged was not forgery. as
it was not charged that they had falsely
simulated other persons writings, but that
they had in their own handwriting made
false statements of facts. There was a
INVERSION OF opinion on this point between
the Judges of the Circuit Court of the
United States for the District of California,
and the matter comes here for determina-
ton by the Supreme Court. The cases are
of considerable interest, and it is understood
that number of civil suits depend upon
the determination of the criminal cases.
The Solicitor Mr.. jerks, opened
the argument for the United States. and
was followed by Hon. Frank Hurd in be-
half of the defendants. Senator Stewart of
Nevada is also of counsel for the defense.

A GANG OF ROBBERS.
They Terrorize Whole Sections in West
Virginia.

PITTsBURG, April Sth.-A special from
Uniontown says: In addition to the terror
inspired throughout Fayette county by the
McClellandtown bank outlaws they are
creating greater terror in the adjoining
county of Preston in West Virginia. When
they were driven from their refuge near
Markleysburg they went across the line
into West Virginia and are now said to be
located in a house near Glade Mills, a
small hamlet. Reports say there are SIX of
them in the gang now, and that nightly
they commit some depreciation on citizens
in that vicinity. So great is the excitement
over their presence and robbing that the
neighborhood is in despair. Local desper-
ADDE'S have joined forces with the gang and
they threaten all kinds of vengeance on
anyone who interferes with them. A
place where they hold forth is near distil-
lery and this adds to their recklessness. Ap-
peals from peoplein the neighborhood have
been sent to the nearest town of any size,
Kingswoo1, asking for help. An organized
effort is to be made to capture them under
command of West Virginia officers. The
district is so far distant from telegraphic
communication and is only accessible by
long journey, so that particulars only reach
this place in a fragmentary way,
