all, II should contain books to feed the
soul with religious thoughts and as
pirations and to do their part to make
ready a people prepared for the lord
So far as possible, the books should be
selected from standard literature, and
scholars encouraged not only to read
them, but TO talk about them and apply
the teachings. The teachers, superin-
tendent and pastors should see that the
library contains books which they know
to be desirable and which they wish to
recommend. Having obtained this def
mite list, il should be furnished to the
central agency of the denomination,
with the information that the school
consists of children of such and such
ages: that the industries of the COM
munity are so and so. Also statements
should be made of the direction in
which the school is expected to grow,
and what special local problems are TO
be met with such information; intelli-
gent attention can be given to the needs
of the school and the books furnished,
on approval, of course, in line with its
needs"
Mr.. Davies declared that the Sunday
school library to-day is outgrowing its
original purpose. In many churches it
is not only a circulating library, but al
so a reference library, Bible, diction-
aries, religious encyclopedia and other
reference books being on its shelf. 1t
is also open one or two hours during the
week.
Resolutions OF thanks to the retiring
officers, to the First Presbyterian
church, the Trinity choir and Professor
Firch's quartet, and to the press. were
adopted.

Karl T.. Meyer. Once trusted Employe,
Is Now In Prison.


Is Now In Prison.
Karl e. Meyer occupies an iron-barred
apartment at the county Jail and a charge
of embezzlement is entered opposite his
name in the official record of the occu-
pants of that institution. He was until
quite recently in the employ OF IL. e.
Owen, the insurance agent, and IL was his
continued abuse of the confidence reposed
in him by his employer that caused his
downfall. An investigation of his ac-
counts, which is only partly completed.
reveals a shortage of about $2i0. and 1t is
probable that this will be increased by
subsequent discoveries of crookedness.
Meyer was employed as an outside man.
and in addition to looking up insurance
Mr.. owen gave him a number of bills TO
collect. The partial investigation which
has been made shows that he has been
collecting money on these receipts and
appropriating 1t to his own use for more
than a month. Like many other young
men, he found the climate and altitude of
Butte conducive TO such fast living that
his honest earnings were not sufficient to
enable him to keep up with the class in
which he had entered and his ruin en-
sued. That his dishonesty was discover ed
al this time was largely his own fault.
Last week Mr.. owen desired to leave
the city for few days and he arranged
to leave Meyer, concerning whose homes
ty he had no suspicious at that time, in
charge of the office during his absence
lie left a note at Meyers room asking
him to come up to the office early next
morning on important business. Meyers
jumped at the conclusion on reading the
brief note that his dishonesty had been
discovered and he did not go near the Of
flee. When he did not put in an appear
ance either that day or the next Mr.
owen suspected that there must be some
thing wrong and a visit 10 some of the
people whose bills he had given to Mey-
err to collect soon convinced him of the
truth of his hastily-formed suspicious
The amounts which Meyer had collected
and failed to turn in ranged from s. to
$40. and the whole amount of those that
had been discovered up to last evening
was about $40. A search was instituted
for Meyer as soon as indisputable evil
dence of his guilt was secured and he was
arrested at Pocatello last Thursday morn
ing. He gave his name as John Sayer and
had a ticket for Council Bluffs and about
$50 in money in his pockets. A complaint
was not filed against him until last even
ing and he will be arraigned in police
court this morning

Davies spoke entertainingly on Sun
day School Libraries" He said that
while the library may be conscientious
ly selected by experts IL frequently falls
far short of what might be the best
selection for a particular locality and
that so long as Objectionable principles
are not taught very little attention Is
given of the place of dhe books from
literary standpoint or even to the value
of the books selected to inculcate spe-
cial truths. He said that If the sun
day school library has a right in our
churches at all, IL is a religious appli-
ance and for its utmost efficiency de-
mands a large degree of earnest, care
full, prayerful thought
IN speaking OF what the Sunday
school library should be. Mr. Davies
said: 1T should be carefully and pray
erfully planned in respect to its selec-
ton. its management and it's use. The
object Of the Sunday school is 10 teach
religious truth. This is the purpose OF
everything connected with IL. The IL
brary should be an essential element
in the teaching. IL Is to be carefully
noted that, while historical and geo
graphical truths. philosophical and
scientific theories must be considered
in the teaching OF the Sunday school,
they have place only so far as they
illustrate the religious truths which are
10 be taught. and so far as they slim
ulate the religious enthusiasm. which
is even more important than the direct
instruction conveyed. If the library is
not selected on this general plan. IL only
partialy fills its purpose. II should con-
tain books 10 assist in the study OF the
lesson: IL should contain the classics

STEEL CARS BEING INTRODUCED.
At last steel cars have been made. For
years they have been regarded as the com
ing car. but owing to the high price of
steel they were not thought To be economi-
caily possible until the twentieth century.
A great steel company, in order to show
under the present conditions the possibih-
ties OF steel in this direction, las con-
structed two cars of this material, which
are the first OF their kind. As the picture
shows, they are built of simple construc-
ton. being built up" of plate girders.
Fey are to be exhibited around the coun-
try TO railroad men. and. If the idea takes,
they will be constructed on large scale in
the fall. While the cost OF a steel car will
naturally be more than that OF a wooden
one, sufficient experience has already been
acquired to warrant the statement that on
a commercial basis. these cars can be con-
structed at a cost not to exceed that per
ton of carrying capacity OF wooden cars,
and with safety factor in favor of steel.
They have been tested with a load of wet
sandand pigiron. weighing $4,000 pounds.
The use OF steel Wi not be confined to
freight cars. It is intended in the near fu-
ture to build passengercars of steelthrough-
out. and thus do away with the danger of
splintering in railroad collisions.

answered the questions all right until he
stumbled upon this one:

TAUBENECK VERY HOPEFUL

Chicago, Aug. III. e. Taubeneck,
late chairman of the Populist National
committee, has come to Chicago for
consultation with the leaders of his
and the Democratic party. He is con-
fident that the Populists of the whole
country will vote for Bryan, and has
but little doubt that satisfactory ar
rangements will be made for electoral
tickets in all the states. In Illinois
it is understood four of the Demo-
cratic electors will be retired and four
POpulists substituted. 1t is also the
understanding that at least one of the
candidates on the state Democratic
ticket will be withdrawn and his place
filed with a Populist. Mr.. Taube-
neck expresses the opinion that every
thing will work out all right, not only
in this state but throughout the coun-
try.
