Church on she Renovation.

Mr.. II. N. Haveniear, agency farmer,
preached to the Indians at Fort Simcoe
last Sunday at Wilbur Chapel. He de-
livered an excellent sermon on the text
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it
holy. He cautioned his hearers to fol
low the example of Rev. Wilbur who
built the church in which they were
then worshipping, and who had given
them such good example OF reverently
and devoutly keeping the Lords day.
He said that the great father ut Wash
ington sent the employees here not merely
to do the ordinary duties assigned to their
positions, but also to teach the Indians
morality and christianity; but il govern.
ment officials and employees should hunt
and fish on Sunday, the Indians should
not follow the example, but should re
member the commandment to keep the
Sabbath day holy.
Mr.. Haveniear is a man who believes
in teaching the Indians morality and
christianity by giving them moral and
christian example. The Indians have
much faith in him and his talks to them
have good influence.

true name We might easily have paint
ed more successful career. We might
have introduced him to local pslitics
made him sheriff; given him the reward
OF those who do the shady work Of big
corporations; poured wealth upon him,
and left him in the state senate; but we
prefer the truth. And we beg to
assure f. w. Peattie Of the identity OF
our Jim Lsncy with his; that his Water
loo was not Waterloo at all and that
Annie still uses that silver thimble. We
also take the liberty Of suggesting that,
by way OF atonement for his abandon
ment OF his hero in his dire need, he
should point the way to the promised
land which Jim discovered. II he does
so with the graphic ability with which he
painted the dark cloud brooding over
Nebraska, and 30 proves the means II

with milk and honey, we know tn at Jim
will forgive him.

The Date of Creation.

In the seventeenth century DIR. John
Lightfoot, vice chancellor OF the Univer'
sity of Cambridge, the great rabbinical
scholar OF his time attempted to reconcile
the two accounts in Genesis by saying
that imam was created by the Trinity on
October %, 1904, b. c., at 8 O'Clock in
the morning." Here was, indeed, a tri-
umph of Lactantius' method, the result
of 1000 years of biblical study and theo-
logical thought, since Bede, in the eighth
century, and Vincent de Beauvais, in the
thirteenth, had declared that creation
must have taken place in the spring.
Yet, alas within two centuries after
Ligh,foot's great theological demonstra-
ton as to the exact hour OF creation: it
was discovered at that hour an exceed
ingly cultivated people, enjoying all the
fruits oil highly developed civilization,
had long been swarming IN the great
cities of Egypt, and that other nations,
hardly less advanced, had at that time
reached a high development in Asia.

"a Farmers. Views.

kIoNA, Aug. IL, 1894.
EDITOR HERALD-The valleys Of the
Selah. Natcheez, Wenas and Cowychee
produce principally grain, and grain OF q
fine quality; and the prospects for the
present year indicate good yield. With
fair prices the farmers OF those valleys
may look for sumo degree Of prosperity
but they are looking forward to low
market rate, and many OF them are some
what discouraged.
Heretofore Yakima grain has COM
manded good prices, as it was all used st
home. The local mills and dealers al
ways bought Of home producers; fully re.
alizing, ! think, that the prosperity OF
the city depended upon the success OF the
farming industries. Hops, grain, hay
and stock are here in abundance; and no
timber, no mines to take their place. The
city must look to the country and the
farmer for support.
Now, l am farmer, and may not he
able to reason as merchant would; but
this much | know: Lately several new
stores have opened in Yakima, and some
Of them ship in their grain, flour and feed
from outside points, in competition with
home-raised grain which costs more to
raise on account of irrigation.
II, then, Yakima grain has to be ship
ped ont by rail, the low shipping value
means death-blow to the grain-producer.
That, it seems to me, is poor policy for
Yakima to follow. Why not give us a
chance, keep your money at home. and
everybody thus have an equal share in
the profitsP Very Respectfully,
"A FARMER"

The Republican Executive Committee Meets Sentiment Divided Between Denson and Howard-No
 Endorsement.

GADsDEN, Oct. 4.-[Special. ]-The re- publican executive committee of the Sev- enth con ngressional district was called to
 meet in Attllla, Ala. today. There were two members of the committee present. The balance of the committee was repre- sented by proxies. The two mem bers of the committee present were for Denson. MT. Moseley from Jefferson county came up with three proxies, and dist ributed them among Howard mon, which, to- gether with one other proxy for Howard gave the populite candidate majority of one.
 The sentiment of the republicans is
 against Howard. John T. Blakemore of DeKalb made a speech, in which he scored Howard as libertine and in every way pfit to represent people in congress. Capt. Joe Nix, chairman of the republi- can executive com mittee of DeKalb county, was also present and was very bitter in his denunciations of Howard. The sentiment of the resident republicans of the district
 Is against Howard, as they think he is unfit to represent any people in the halls of congress, but it seems that MT. Moseley of Birmingham, chairman of ths state repub-
 lican executive committee, has so manip- ulated the machinery of the republican party as to give Howard the indorsement of majority of the various executive com mittees.
 Had it not been for some irregularity in Mr. Prithard's proxy of Cherokee ma jority of the committee would not have indorsed Howard.
 A convention has been called of the re- publicans of Etowah county on the 18th day of October, when 1t will be seen who the republicans of Etowah county really favor. The republicans of Etowah and ad joining counties resent the actions of Chairman Moseley in assuming the role of dictator, as shown in the way they treated his circular indorsing Speers as candidate for state senator in the recent election. Speers only received 143 votes. On the vote to indorse Howard only votes were cast. The other three refrained from voting. No quorum having voted, the resolution was not carried.
