An Indian from the reservation
dropped into a certain klamath
county town last week and proceeds
ed to an undertaking establish
ment and ordered coffin for a rela;
tive. The indian handed the dealer
string to indicate the length OF the
desired casket, and the latter not
having one long enough, slyly cut
the string to fit the short box;
The Indian paid his money and
taking string and coffin, fastened
back to the reservation. A large
crowd of sympathizing and wailing
natives were on hand when the
corpse was put in the coffin, but
what was the CONSERVATION of the
Indians when they discovered that
the dead "Injun" had increased in
size nearly foot since his demise;
The Indians were overcome with
superstition and wondered greatly,
but finally knocked out one end of
the coffin and proceeded with the
burial. We are not informed
whether the Indians head or feet
are sticking out in the cold, cold
ground. klamath Falls Express.

Wilcox on sayonarola.

At the First NJ. E. church last even
ing Rev. G. B. Wilcox gave an eloquent
sermon on "Savonarola." being another
in his popular series on "Ancient and
Modern Heroes" After a clearly drawn
picture of the character under con-
sideration and briefly stated outline
of his history the speaker dwelt upon
the moral and, political revolution
effected by Savonarola in Florence. the
overthrow of the Medicis, the restora-
ton of the ancient liberties, the estab-
lisbment of a Christian commonwealth,
the astonishing effects produced by his
preaching, the character of his sermons
and work. the reaction against him and
the circumstances which led to his
martyrdom.

THE LAST LEGISLATURE.

The courts are showing deplorable
want of respect for the laws passed by

1t looks to us as though Minnesota is
sadly in need of a legislature that can

provisions of the constitution - Grace

1t would not be bad idea for the
next legislature to have on the judi

We want no law which enables dis
honest persons to deprive our citizens
of their liberty, as could and possibly
has been done under this law, without
fair trial.-Mapleton Enterprise.
These decisions show that Legislators
are very fallible, and before we talk
seriously about abolishlng the supreme
court, as has been suggested, it had
better be considered, what are we going
to put in its place?-Appleton Press.

CROTHERs' SERMON.
He Tells Why He Accepted the
Cambridge Call.


Atthe morning service affinity church
Rev. S. M. Crothers, the eloquent pas
tor, was greeted with larger audience
than usual, owing, doubtless, to the fact
that his resignation had been announced
by the morning papers. He took for his
text the latter part of the first verse of
the twelfth chapter of the Epistle to the
Hebrews-"Let us therefore lay aside
every weight and the sin that most
easily besets US, and let us run with
patience the race set before u.s." After
speaking OF the true nature and fune.
ton of criticism he said:
Reform is the watchword of the day.
We all recognize that things are not eX-
acty as they should be. We in America
are open to the Invasion of Ignorance
and barbarism from every quarter of
the world, and as nation we are unable
TO stem the ln-rushing tide. More and
more the intellectual life seems to
stand apart from that of creeds-and
this is one of the problems before US
how to make our free religious thought
stand side by size with the scientific
advance Of the world. All progress
proceeds by slow growth. The iudiyid-
ion of his ideal. Men toll for some great
purpose, give themselves to self sacri-
flee and noble works, yet fall by the
waySide before the work is done. The
city OF New Jerusalem has not descend
ed from the clouds, as in the vision of
st. John on the Isle of Patmos. But
the foundations thereof must be laid
here. stone by stone. Christianity, as
the disciples of Christ understood it,
has failed. What is the remedy? Only
this-to run our race with that divine
patience inculcated in our text.
After his sermon Mr.. Crothers, who
has been pastor of this church for over
seven years. called attention to the no.
tice of meeting of the congregation,
called for next Sunday, to consider his
resignation, and said he would briefly
state his reasons for deciding to accept
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-02-05

call to the First Parish Church of
Cambridge. Mass. He said that when
called to large church in All Eastern
city he had felt as IL it would be sort
o, sacrilege to leave one city charge for
another city charge merely because of
greater Inducements. But in the pres-
ent instance it'would involve someself-
sacrifice upon his part to aeave
the work he was engagedfd in.
and which he dearly loved, fof
charge he did not expect toxlike
as well. He said his reasons for accept
ing the call to Cambridge seemed hmr
perative to him. He felt that there MAS
work which he could do among the
students of Harvard college that was
especially pressing and far-reaching.
Unitarianism as he understood it WAS
the nearest approach to liberal religion
with perfect intellectual freedom. This
was impossible except in great cehtet
OF university life. Such a movement
had started in the German universities,
as may be seen in the works of Lessing
and the writer's of his time. The church
OF Germany declined the challenge of
the universities; but Germany is. now
and has ever since that time been the
teacher of the philosophy of religion.
what is the influence of higher educa-
ton? Is there any church able to meet
this crisis? Liberal religion cannot
afford to neglect the opportunity afford
ed by the great university at Cam-
BRIDGE"
The preacher, who has so long been
an intellectual magnet i'll our city, is
one of the most simple and sincere
speakers of our day. He impresses
those who are familiar with Emerson's
style as having a mind nearer attuned
to that Of the greatest thinker of our
country, and yet III his sermons he has
far greater tiuency and felicity of eX-
preston than Emerson seemed to have
i'll his later lectures.
Mr.. Crothers will not leave until
June, and it Is the universal opinion of
those who have known him that his
loss to this community will be we'll
nigh lrreparable. His lectures upon
various topics outside of his immediate
church work have been among the
greatest intellectual treats afforded in
this city in the past seven years.

Prof Kenny on the Eminent
Patriot.
The attendance at Crusaders hall
yesterday afternoon was much larger
than usual. The principal feature Of
the meeting was discourse upon the
life of Henry Grattan by Prof. J. E.
Kenny, of st. Thomas seminary. The
speaker touched upon the extraordinary
natural abilities of Grattan, upon his
determination to be a great public
speaker, upon his unparalleled success
in oratory, upon his great love for Ire
land, upon his achievements. upon his
integrity, in choice and picturesque
language. j. j. Gleason delivered "a
brief but very happy address for the
society. r. DeLapine sang "a choice
tenor solo. A. Soucluray performed a
fine selection on the violin. E. Z. Foot
played the piano with his usual deli
cacy. Other excellent vocal numbers

1t is of interest to the public to learn
the members of the Northern Pacific
brotnerhoods who have been in the city
for so many weeks have been making
general hegira to their homes for the
past three days. There we're originally
seventy-eight men in the city. sThis
number has dwindled to twelve, sixty
six having left the city. The dozen
men who are here comprise the chair
brotherhoods, who make up the person
mel of the federal board. These, as has
been stated, will, when date for con-
ference with General Manager KendricE
and the receivers has been settled, to-
gether with the grand officers, appear
before those officials. Those re-
naming in the city are as
follows: Messrs. Vetter, Collins
and Porter, of the locomotive engi-
neers; James Matheson, of the firemen;
r. IL. Campbell and M. o. Graves, of
the trainmen; Harry Rifey, of the
switchmen; l.. G. Mann, of the tele-
graph operators; j. c. Garrett. of the
machinists: ID. McInnis.of the car men; !;
D. McClerand, of the boilermakers; j.
B. w. Johnson. of the conductors. 1t is
reasonable enough that those who have
returned home should have done so, as
their further presence at this time is
not necessary, and to maintain them
here would be useless expense. Mr..
Johnson, representing the conductors,
was seen at the Windsor yesterday
afternoon. He declined to state whether
the men who have gone would return
Or not. 1t is probable that they will
not return, though they can be easily
summoned if at any time such action is
deemed advisable.

CARSON, New, Feb. 4.-On the night
of Feb. about 1920 O'clock brilliant
meteor shot over Western Nevada and
Eastern California, Illuminating the
heavens for several seconds. The illu-
mination was followed by a low rumb-
ling and shock as if by an earthquake.
1t has now been ascertained that tue
meteor struck about five miles from
railway station called Candelera. in
Esmeralda county, about fourteen miles
from here. People there who saw the
meteor describe it as an immense BODY
OF metal. AS it rushed through the air
1t made noise like the sound of sky
rocket just as it starts upward. At
Candelera many people were greatly
alarmed at the sudden appearance Of
great ball of fire. Suddenly it seemed

disappeared. Then came a strange
rumDlIng noise, and a shaking of the
earth. The report here is that houses
in Candelera were shaken as if by an
earthquake. 1t was soon learned that
the cOmmotion was cauesd by the me-
teor. People have made wild estimates
as to the weight of the meteor. Some
i'll their excitement say it must have
weighed 100000 tons to canse such
shaking of the earth. Friday morning a
party was organized and started III
search of the meteor. Toward even
ing the searcherS began to find broken
branches which had been knocked from
trees by flying fragments, sage brush
torn up by the roots and holes gouged
in the earth by pieces of the meteor.
Finally they came upon huge
hole nearly 100 feet across where
the larger portion had fallen. 1t
struck on bare knoll composed OF
sand and rocks. One report is that
the ground was hot about the hole.
and hence that close examination was
impossible. Pieces were found i'll the
