DO YoU WANT HIMl

Do you want God TO dwell In you? II so,
then God wants to take up His abode in your
heart. And you cannot begin 10 imagine
how greatly, how earnestly, he wants to take
full possession Of you. But remember that,
bless II with all the richness OF His love, lie
never will unless you really want Him to.
He doludes himself most feariuly who thinks
that, by some sort Of decree. by reason Of
some secret purpose, God will enter his soul

TRUTH is TOUGH.

Said the late oliver Wendell Holmes
"Truth Is tough. 1t will not break, like a
bubble, Mt a touch, nay, you may kick 1t
about all day, like football, and 1t will be
round and full at evening" This is why gos-
pei truth endures the assault of the ages. In
tdels have been kicking at 1t ever since II
was proclaimed, but 1t Is so tough that It
hurts their heels without being itself hurt.
Faint hearts have feared lest the truth should
suffer from intidel attacks. but their fears
are groundless. Not till men can kill God,
san thev kill his truth. Firmer than the
stars, stronger than the mountains, the truth
.pf God will cbide forever.

conclave the Fall River line of steamers will
be taken to New York, where another day

accompany the knights throughout the trip.
The pamphlet contains sixteen pages and
has cuts Of some OF the more attractive places
to be visited. The Burlington is the route
selected from here to Chicago, and the

F. W. Voswinkle, Well Known Insurar @,
Man, Becomes Insane.
MIND HAS BEEN FAILING FOR YEARS
Not Until Yesterday, However, Has His
symptoms Become Aiarming-Condi-
tIon Attributed to an Accident
lie Met with Several Years Ago.

f. w. Voswinkle, we'll known insurance
man of this city, became a raving maniac
yesterday For years his health has been
steadily declining, and 1t was apparent to
his intimate friends that his mind was af-
fected Several years ago he was driving
near Fairbury Neb., when he became the
victim of a runaway accident. Being thrown
from his buggy, he struck the top of his
head on the ground so hard that an inden-
tation was formed in his skull which, it is
believed, is responsible for his mental all
ment.
Some time ago he went to Salt Lake City
in the hope of being benefited, and the ex-
pectation of his friends was that instead Of
coming here he would go to Wisconsin to
visit his father. Thursday night he sud-
denly appeared at his home on Fourth street
and stayed there over night. Yesterday morn
ing his wife left him in his bedroom, but
finding he did not come down, after some
time, went back and found him sitting with
a razor in his hand. He had shaved off his
moustache and all the hair on his head AS
an explanation for his queer action he said
he had been baptized into the Mormon church
in the tabernacle at Salt Lake City, and had
become a Mormon bishop.
He said he had come back with mission,
which was, to take all the people Of Council
Bluffs back to Salt Lake City with him. He
had decided to hold a mass meeting in Bay
liss park and deliver an Grafton from an i'm
provised platform His talk and acting were
so strange that plan was concocted to get
him before the commissioners of insanity.
During his visit to the court house he had
to be handled very carefully, for he seemed
to be on the point Of becoming violent. After
an examination it was decided that he should
be taken to Clarinda for treatment.
