sunday Services.

Services were conducted by Rev. M. E. Murphy.
His sermon treated on temptations. and how and
why they should be avoided. We give short
sketch of it below:
I'm my late journeyings up and down the Pa.
cifc Slope, l met with a great many different
characters, some of which interested me greatly
study. But, notwithstanding have been to
many different places and have seen such differ
ent characters, have always felt about me the
same sinful world as in saltwater. l have no
doubt but men are always the same-they may be
different i'll language and customs. but they are
practically the same the world over. We all wish
to be happy, but what means do we use to attain
this end unless sloth? We seek to be happy with
out undergoing any trouble or trials to gain happ-
ness. You cannot expect to reach heaven with
out passing through temptations. unless you die
in childhood. There are great many who think
that temptations are not difficult to overcOme
and there are others who murmur because they
are tempted. We must expect temptations; and
while should not willingly fall into them it is
absolutely necessary that we be prepared for and
fight bravely against them. for he that loves dan.
ger will surely perish in it,
People are often heard to say: wont fall;
am strong enough to resist temptation Their
idea of the danger of temptation reminds me of a
story saw in a newspaper lately: young bull
was returning home by the railroad track, when q
train came along at full speed. The engineer whis
tied hoping to brighten the bull off the track but
the bull only reared up and returned signal of
defiance. In consequence there was collision
that resulted disastrously to the bull. In a like
manner those people pay no heed to the warning
of approaching danger, but persist in facing it
when it would be far easier to step aside to avoid
it. The reason why so many people rush head
long into the dangers of temptations is because
they feel and say in substances: L want to
stand temptation like a man. ! don't want to
walk like a mouse, l am not afraid. l can go into
evil places; will take my road, for l know
God can do all things, and He will not let me
fall 1t is bad sign to hear men talk in this
manner. 1t is expecting too much of God, without
doing anything ourselves. Christ himself was
tempted three times while on earth. Tempta-
tions, like all other dangers should always be
avoided when possible. 1t our position or employ
ment requires us to be in danger we may look to
God for help to bring us safely through it, but we
must never carelessly rush into temptation. To
avoid temptations, on the whole. we must take
the life of Christ for model. Think OF the
temptations and sufferings He bore for our sake.

Some queer people come to see the prison. A
party was shown through the other day that was
bent on seeing all that was to be seen. After vis-
iting all the departments they requested to be
| shown some real murderers. The usher was some.
what embarrassed ut first, but being of an accom-.
modating disposition. showed them into the Gull.
nary department where the attaches, with long
handled paper brushes were charging hither and
thither like excited Hottentots, driving out the
flies. and pointing to them the usher said '.They
are our murderers." The exit to the outer world
was near by and the party exited.
When mouse once starts on the downward
path in our burg, his life is precarious one.
Sunday afternoon one received vicious blow in
some upper tier of the prison and landed on the
stone steps leading to B gallery in famed con-
dition; guard passed shortly afterwards and in
stinctively toed Monsieur mouse, but On being
appealed to, let him live. The mouse there
after played ''possum' when any one passed; but
it unfortunately off its guard when the Dep
uty came along with party of ladies' and his
mouselets received sundry toeings before the
ladies had exhausted their explanatory adjec.
tves and began to plead for his life. Thus pro-
crastination, the time thief. found another
victim.
Every day will be Sunday bye and Bye So
runs the song, but the extreme quiet consequent
upon the shutting down of work in the shops
makes it almost seem if that time had already
arrived The continuous rumble of the machinery,
the soian like music of the hard wood planer
and the dulcet tones of the buzz saw run no
longer for an accompaniment to our daily labor
and the only sounds to be heard in our Office now
adays the cheerful click of type. the stento-
rious breathing of the devil the sigh of the ex-
change editor as he unfolds paper after paper and
his eye falls the hoary jokes. or tlme-worn
chestnut and the scratching of the editors pen
he grinds out jag of locals'-only this and
nothing more.
The Jolly Tinker has been greatly worried
lately and even his usually robust health has
been very much below par. The truth of the
matter is. he does not know how to wear his
whiskers. One day he decides upon full beard,
but OH the next he thinks he would prefer an
English chop; perhaps Dundreary. Then he
will picture of his ancestor. Capt. John
Smith, and makes up his mind to copy him, and
have it trimmed to point thinking thereby to
stand a better chance with some modern Pocahon-
tas. Then runner says that it will be simply a
mustache and imperal but ever since he saw the
governor his fancies lean towards q goatee, and
altogether Papa is in a very uncertain frame Of
mind. If were allowed to make suggestion
we would whisper. Getaways"

MINNEAPOLIS, August 26.-The Tri-
J,me's special from Ashland, Wis, says;
Black Bart's most daring deeds in the
mountain passes of California and Colo
RADIO were outdone today by lone high
wayman who held up and robbed the
stage that runs between Gogebic on the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western
railroad, just over the line in Michigan,
and Gogebic Lake, a summer resort
where people from she large cities spend
the dog days. AS the stage was running
along at lively gait through dense
forest, about two miles from the station,
man jumped out in front of it and
pointing two big revolvers at the driver,
commanded him in good old western
style to throw up his hands, at the same
time extending the same order to four
passengers inside the coach, with the
further provision that they 'shell OUT
all their loose valuables and currency.
One of the passengers went down in
his pocket, but instead of bringing up
his pocketbook, he clenched a pistol in
his hand and commenced firing at the
robber. The desperate Immediately re-
turned the fire, and, although the driver
whipped his horses into a mad gsilop.
his aim was true, B. Mackerschar, 3
bookkeeper in the First National Bank
of Minneapolis, receiving the first bullet
| in his cheek, while second went crash
| ing through his leg. Another passenger,
named A. G. Fleeschbain, of Belleville,
Ills, was mortally wounded. He raised
up in his seat as the horses were whipped
away, Just in time to receive bullet in
the hip. He fell forward and pitched
over the side OF the coach into the road
way. The horses continued on the run,
and the wounded man was left to take
his chances with the robber. The villain
threatened at first TO kill him, but finally
desisted, after securing $37 and his vic
TINS watch and chain.
The wounded man lay bleeding in the
road for three hours before any one cour-
secured. The physicians say he will not
| live over night. Mackerschar was taken
to Eagle River for treatment, and from
there to his home at Minneapolis. There
are grave doubts as to his recovery also.

REVISED SPECaFICATIONS.
Ship. builders Now Expected to
Take the Bait Freely.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-Acting Sec
retary Walker is confident that, as the
result of the modification of the require
ments in the case of the 2,000-ton
cruisers there will be many proposals,
and that the Department will secure bids
within the 100000 limit fixed by law.
The minimum speed required to be made
has been diminished from eighteen knots
to seventeen knots. AS the designs for the
hulls and machinery were based upon
eighteen knots, with more than a posi-.
bility Ct eighteen and one-half kuots,
there will be good opportunity for the
contractor to net 100000 bonus on each
ship, if the designs were properly drawn
Just what can be done in the case of the
two 3,000-ton ships has not yet been de-
termined. The minimum speed limit
cannot be reduced as in the
case of the 1000 ton vessels,
for the reason that Congress has
fixed it at nineteen knots in the approp-
ration act. There is strong Gesire on
the part of shipbuilders to have the
four hour trial now reduced to one, or at
most two hours, and in making some
concessions in this respect the depart
ment may be able to re-advertise for
proposals with successful results.
1t was reported at the Navy Depart
ment today that Naval Constructor
Bowles will ask to be relieved from duty
as a member of the board appointed to
examine and report upon the plans Of
the battle-ship Texas. His motive is
said to be a desire to forestall any
criticism that might be made, based
upon the fact that he has already COM
mitted himself in favor OF the construc-
ton of the ship upon English designs.
