A good number of our people have Won
dered how their taxes came to be so dis
proportionately increased last year over
previous years. We had never looked the
matter up particularly, but H. c. Taylor
has unearthed the mystery and gives it in
his last letter to Hodgdon. 1t seems that
the state board of equalization-olr own
reformers, the pop officials thought to help
our burdened people by raising the assess
ed valuationed returned by the township
trustees-the men whom you, the people,
elected to do this work-27 per cent. or an
aggregate of s65S ISL, while reducing the
Pullman assessment % per cent. This
state board, who knew absolutely nothing
OF the value of your horses, your cattle
Jour hogs, your farms, your implements
yet had the audacity to increase your
assessed valuation and thereby your taxes
nearly One-third. Reform comes high in

They Die Well.

Those who devote their lives to the pro.
motion of the work of holiness never find
occasion to regret it as they near the i'm.
mortal shores. From the Living Epistles
we clip the following excellent testimony
given by Rev. Hezekiah H. Bowman a
short time before his death:
81 have cause to praise God for the fol-
lowing distinct experiences, views. etc.
First, genuine spiritual regeneration ;
second: clearly divine call to the minis
try; third, distinct experience Of entire
specification, subsequent to my regener-
alton, instead of dabbling in its specnla-
tive doctrine; strong inward conviction to
preach and testify concerning these doc
trines, and make known to the people the
efficacy of the blood of Christ to the full
cleansing of the soul from the pollution of
sin. and the possibility of perfect heart
purity. And what 1 preached to others
has been and still is the joy of my own
heart, by the power of the crimson flood
OF the atOnlng blood being applied to my
needy soul. 10 God be everlasting praise
and glory for this perfect Gospel
The last testimonies given by such
sainted heroes as they pass into the unseen
ought to inspire those who remain with
deeper devotion and greater zeal for the
spread of holiness. This glorious doctrine
should be the living watchword of the
church. David was in line with this truth
when he exclaimed. .'Holiness becOmeth
thine house. o Lord, forever 10 what
is the minister of the gospel called if not
to experience and promote holiness? And
what can his dying testimony be If he
Identifies himself with the opponent of
this gracious work?

Neither be We id0laters as were some of
| them: as it is written. The people sat down to
eat and drink and rose up to play."-First Co.
| rinthians, XII.
In ancient times when Abraham's de-
scendants were set apart as the chosen peo-
pie, OF church of the true God, the sin
which prevailed among them as. a whole.
publicly and Ostentatiously, was idolatry.
This and other sinful acts were committed
by individuals, as such. But there was a
time when the Hebrew nation, led by their
rulers, openly turned to worshipping idols.
FistOry gives several different periods
when the Jews paid homage to images
they themselves or their sinful neigh
bors manufactured. The greatest states
man their race had ever produced turned
away to idOlatry when he was old, for
which the Lord took away ten tribes from
under the dominion Of Solomon's dynasty,
but left one tribe for his son to rule over,
fol David's sake. -
Solomon went after AshtOreth, the god
dess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom,
the abomination of the Ammonites. He
also built an high place for Chemosh, the
abOmination of Moab, and for MOlech.
the abOminatiOn of the children of Am
mon. And likewise did he for all his
strange wives, which burnt incense and
sacrificed unto their gods.
But by the time Of the apostolic days
the people appear TO have left off the kind
of idolatry by which Solomon transgressed
and were beset by tendency towards that
which Paul warns them against in the
above quotation from his letter to the
church at Corinth.
One definition of idol given by Webster
is ''that on when the affections are strong
". excessively, and improperly set.''
From the scripture above quoted it is in
Gods sight, idolatrous and wicked to
manifest affection for our own senses by
sitting down to eat and drink and rising
up to play.
As in the olden days so it is to-day re-
garding idClatry. 1t is practiced as a mat
ter of course by ungodly people all over
Christendom. Not as Solomon prscticed
it, but as Paul defined it to the Corinth-
ians.
Now it has become quite customary for
most religious organizations to invite the

MURDERHOR SUICIDE.

Cofo

A Man and Wife Found Dying In Their
Cafe.
AIiddletown, N. Y, Oct S-A mys-
terious murder and suicide, or double
murder, occurred in this city yesterday.
John Tierney was found with bullet
hole in his right temple. His wife was
lying near him, with a bullet hole in
her left breast, while a pistol lay
few feet away. The affair occurred
IN a cafe owned and conducted by Mrs.
Tierney. An aged uncle, Robert
Flynn, awoke at $50 yesterday morn
ing and went downstairs to the kitchen
in the basement and built fire. While
thus engaged he heard report, which
did not seem to him, he said, like that
of a pistol, and the fall Of body. A
moment later it was followed by an
other report Shortly afterwards Mrs.
Tierney's son Thomas, who is said to
have been asleep on sofa in the
kitchen, went up and found two dead
bodies. What at first appeared to be
murder and suicide now looks to
the authorities like double murder.
Tierney married Mrs. Mcclure,
widow with one son, Thomas, five
at the marriage, and left the house
for two weeks. About the time of the
marriage he took a 44-calibre British
bulldog revolver and threw it behind
trunk in closet in his bedroom. He
claims that no one knew it was there
but himself. Mrs. Tierney owned
cafe which. previous to her marriage,
it was believed, would go to Thomas
when she died. This was not likely,
however, after she married T.erney.
