The Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army gave unique
entertainment last Saturday evening.
1t was a coffee supper. Delicate re-
freshments We're furnished rs one
feature of the entertainment in connec-
ton with the devotional exercises.
There were the usual addresses by
Capt Ramsdell and her assistants.
Tn addition to ordinary religious SER
vice there was an experience meeting
in which every recruit took individual
part.
These people have made twenty
seven converts in Lewiston. They are
permanent fixture in this city hav-
ing determined to remain here indefi.
nitely. They have been successful be.
yond their expectations and find in
Lewiston a congenial work.
Capt. Ramsdell is very earnest
and effective revivalist. She is often
assigned to important and difficult
tasks and was sent to this field on ac.
count of special qualifications. She
has been equal to the difficult task
add the army is now Lewiston insti-
tuh0n. The Lewiston converts are
not regular soldiers. They are still on
probation. They are not subject to
army discipline aud will not be until
| they are sworn i'm by authoritative
recruiting officers. The articles of
faith to which applicants for member.
ship are required to qualify are made
up of one hundred and twenty
questions. Capt. Ramsdell is suc-
cessful organizer and II is said she is
not easily imp 1sed upon, being able in
a remarkable degree to detect hypo'
cracy in the applicants for the bene'
its ofthe organization. OF all those
accepted in this city only one has
apostated.
| The Salvation Army came to this
city in the face of prejudice and with
little to encourage their efforts. but
they have been SO earnest and consist
ent that they have grown in favor
Their congregations have been in
creasing lately and the attendance il
creditable at all meetings. Those who
scoffed at ihe beginning now realize
the benefits they have bestowed upon
this community.

Some big stocksales were consumma-
ted the first of this week. There have
been II number of eastern buyers circu-
culating among the people and they
have gathered up large numbers of
cattle and hogs. The prices paid have
been remunerative to the feeders aud
growers aud good feeling prevails
among the stockmen. The hogs have
been shipped to markets beyond the
Rockies and the cattle are to follow as
far rs the Montana and Dakota ranges.
The money brought to this section for
stock has summed up to many thou
sands within the past two years. The
producing reserve has been drawn upon
till the future supply will be very
small. The ranges have been given
over to worthless cayuse horses which
are without price at present, and with
out hope for the future. The cayuses
are pest as bad as the Australian rab-
blt. They destroy the ranges for every
use that promises reward and have even
increased to such an extent that they
are starving themselves to death. The
native horses were at best very inferior
and they are degeneratlng as genera
ton succeeds generation. The wasting
food supply is dwarfing the noble horse
to worthless sore-eyed Nyuses very
rapidly.
