John 4. ID. Johns Lecture.

The lecture at NJ. +. church Wednes.
day night by Jno.P D.J ohm, ex- president
of Depauw university, on did man
make God. or did God make man"
was undoubtedly one of the finest
heard i'll this city. 1t was a reply TO
Robert G.. Ingersoll. DIR. John set forth
the most important objections made by
lngersoll To the bible and Christian re-
ligIon and answered them one and all
with clear and irrefutable arguments.
Ills logic was firm and convincing and
his audience listened spell-bound for
over an hour 30 his burning eloquence,
while, step by step, he shattered the
theory of agnosticism that lngersoll
and others would have them accept.
DIR. John is a deep thinker and an able
speaker and his lecture produced a

The Santa Ana Institute.

The teachers of Green township held
their last institute, for this year at the
Santa Ana school house Saturday 14th
The attendance was fair but not as
good as was expected. An invitation
to the teachers who had taught there
had been sent, but by reason of many
living at a distant there were but few
who could attend.
The work of the forenoon was that of
the Outline but after most b0unti-
full dinner the program assumed the
features of spiritual feast. Remin-
isences, speaches, songs and recitations
were called for, which in every instance
was responded to.
Special mention should be made of
JnO. c. Butler, of Plymouth, A. Il. Slay
tor, of Argos, Henry CRUDE l.. ID. Wal
ker and the Misses Davis and CRUDE.
Mr.. Buffers "reminiscences were full
of pathos and humor; Slayter's ex-
perience as "keeper" of the Santa Ana
schools "some twenty years ago was
very witty and interesting.
Harry Grube in his original poem on
"The Old Pond of Blakes" challenges a
Pfrimmer or Riley.
A painstaking history of Santa Ana
was given by Mr.. l.. ID. Walker in which
was shown that since the date of its
birth 1863, it has given employment to
forty-two teachers, produced thirty-iive
teachers and fourteen country gradu-
ates.

The institute adjourned with full
realization that time had woven check

years, and that life is an earnest reality.

The following committee was ap-
pointed to interview our business men
upon the important matter: Tanner,

Whatever is done must be attended
to at once, and it Is to be hoped that
every man who is interested in these
efforts to secure manufacturing enter

standard of Truth :.

The object of the inquiry TO Senator
Reeve was simply for the purpose of
making palmer his teachings to the \.

fully satisfactory on that point. AS
was stated in the inquiry, had no de-
sire TO enter into any controversy with
the senator's views, hence did not
express any opi1ion and will not now
leaving that for the theOlOgian, or
moral philosopher, if any such desire.
| only wish to appear in print today
to correct a defective quotation of my
letter made by Mr.. Reeve. lie says
"The doctor quotes Webster's delini-
tion of Right as the Will of God. lie
should have used all OF my quotation
III order to do justice to Webster. My
quotation of Webster's definition of
Right was: CONFORMITY to the will of
God, or to his law, the perfect standard
of truth and Justice Where there is
conformity, there may be nOncOnfOrm-
ity and hence the Will of God, or his
law, in regard to right, is not that "iiXed
irresistible decree which cannot be vio-
lated by man, according to Webster,
which the senator asserts; and yet, the
eternal principle of right remains un-
changed.
\ further quotation from Websters de-
tinatiOn might be in place. He says: "In
social and political affairs, that is RIGHT
which is consonant to the laws and
customs of a country, provided these
laws and customs are not repugnant to
the laws of God. y mans intentions
may be right, though his actions may
be wrong III consequence of a defecs in
judgment. In things, Indifferent, or
which are regulated by no positive
law, that is RIGHT which is best suited
TO the character, occasion, or purpose,
or when is fitted 10 produce some good
effect. 1t is RIGHT for rich man to
dress himself and his family in expen-
sive clothing which it would not be
right for poor man to purchase"
At this sense right is a relative term,
but this relative sense of right, by no
means, interferes with the absolute un-
changeable principle of right, which
demands uncompromising CONFORMITY
to the will of God }. ). MARTIN.

An Old Cat.

BOURBON, Ind, March l3.- Mr.. John
Willford of this city, lays claim to the
oldest cat In the county, or state, so far
as known. The cat answers to the
name of "Charlie," and has heavy
coat of fur of white and yellow. In
couple weeks Charlie will pass his
eighteenth birthday. lie was great
mouser until he was fifteen years of
age since which time he has not been
known to catch a mouse or rat, due
probably to the loss of all his teeth
except two large upper tushes. His
only food for the past four months has
been chopped beef with now and then
saucer of milk. In the evening
Charlie always shows a very cheerful
disposition, romping and playing like a
young kitten, while at other times he
is cross Last summer Mr.. Willford
saw tit TO whip him on one occasion.
Charlie felt the punishment keenly,
going to the barn where he mewed and
cried for several days and refused to
enter the house, regardless of cOaxing,
while Mr.. WillfOrd was present. For
the past few days he has refused to eat
and IS growing weaker and Mr.. Will
ford thinks he will not live to see his
18th anniversary.

up the firm of Hill & Son will begin the
erection of modern three story brick
building on the lot now occupied by
their bakery. This structure will be
modern in all its appliances, with a
pressed brick front and stone trim

The contract for all the material, and a
greater portion of the work has been

three stories 20xS5. The first floor will
be used for general groceries, confec

FROM WASHING TON.
An Interesting Communication Regarding

CHEHALIS, Wash, March 6, '9j.
JAS. T. PoULsoN, Plymouth, Ind.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 2nd
inst is at hand and | will try to
answer your questions.
In reply to your land question ! shall
say that | am still in the dark. You
did not tell me whether you had fam
lily or not. 1t makes lots OF difference
to a holaesteader, particularly if he
has not means to clear up land enough
to live on without going to the set
Elements or mills to work for "grub,
as he would find that his wife and
children would not like 10 stay on the
claim, alone; but the law says they
must. But if you have means enough
yoa are all right. Some of the hap
pleSt and most cOntented people | have
ever seen were on homestead claims. If
you are single this objection wOul, not
be, as you could stay on the claim in the
winter and go out to the openings i'll
the summer if you wanted to. There
is government land in Lewis county
yet. If you will look on the map sent
you you will see that there are sew
erdl townships of unsuryeyed land yet.
The ones not laid out in small blocks
are the timber claims. You do not have
to live on these claims, but pay the
government price $3.50 per acre. all
government land is from 20 to 90 miles
from here, and In most cases there are
no roads cut to it. But each year the
settlers reach farther out, and where
there were no roads when | came here
there are now good ones and fine farms.
And so it is with any new country.
The drawback of this country has
been the paying of too big wages to
laboring- men, which tempted them to
abandon their claims and work by the
day instead of improving their farms.
These claims are the best chances here
now. Many persons have become inter-
their chance cheap. One may get a
good claim with some improvements of
these people.
AS to game, we have deer, some elk
plenty of bear and cougar, pheasants
and grouse, ducks and geese, mountain
quail, and as to fish, there is no limit
to them-ail kinds, but we prefer trout,
as in the spring and winter when the
salmon are running we get sick and
tired of the sight of them. You would
have no trouble in getting all the fish,
clans, Holsters, oysters, crabs and all
salt water fish,
The price of timber is advancing
slightly. | have just received my
county paper, and as there is some news
that | have not sent you shall send
the paper
AS to prices of everything, l thought
that | had sent you market report
but the prices of everything you men
ton are very near our prices. Horses
may be little cheaper.
| would be glad If you could put mt
in correspondence with some good hote
keeper. There is good opening here
for one, and can give him the best OF
references, in either English or German
and full particulars. The property l:
very cheap and must be sold. Have
you any Germans there that are com
ing west? Give them one of my cards
and / will write to them.
There is still good weather. Most Of
the garden is made. A great many
eastern people, all farmers, are coming
ii in. Would like TO hear from you agaiI
