Banks people have always been trying 10 shift
the responsibility OF their sins on some one elsa
THIS seems TO be of the characteristics OF ma
ture These folks possessed OF peculiar
blindness as regards their own personal response
b!li,les Some say the Lord made me and He Is
responsible for my actions. Ii He had created IN
my nature different tendencies | would live diff
ferent lfe.' But | say that God tempteth no man.
He never gave man a nature that would IN
evitably lead him to the devil
Many people act as though life picnic.
II is not. but. the other hand II Is fierce bat
tie a struggle 10 keep down those tendencies which
lead us to the devil The man who rules his own
soul Is indeed a conqueror
rs 4 possible for shove our sins on the
already overburdened back Of the devil? When YOU
say you cannot resist the devil. you SANDER him.
The devil is coward; resist him and he will ny
from you"

Mr.. Rummell, roadmaster of the VII
mona & St. Peter division of the North
western, was in, ttown with Conductor
Tom Hughes last Thursday. Mr.. Rum
mel has a happy faculty of talking
through his head-gear without exciting
the suspicion of his listeners. He dwelt
on politics, religion, the creation of
man, ETC., and finally drifted off on to
railroad matters. He was asked wheth-
Ell there was anything to his story cir
culated month ago regarding the ex-
tension of the stub line. Smiling, he
remarked upon the speed with which
such tale could be circulated, and
then got down to serious talk. He
stated that, in his opinion, the stub
line would be eXtended-that the
Northwestern would not allow the st.
Louis to encroach upon its business,
like that road did at New Ulm, with
out getting the business back from some
other town. at takes time to decide
upon an extension, said Mr.. Rummell,
land it may be some time before the
move is made, but believe that it will
surely be made" Mr.. Rummell was
of the opinion that the road would con-
meet with the Northern Pacific at some
western point, because the present N.
P. stockholders are also heavy stock
holders of the Northwestern system.
"Come on, Tom" said Mr.. Rummell,
after making this remark, and quickly
jumping up, "let's 60 and be making
some more money for old Vanderbilt"

Olivia Press: William Iago, who was
convicted Of the crime of rape at the
session of court held here last spring
has had the verdict set aside by the SUI
preme court and is now cleared of the
crime. The case is very good illustra-
ton of the abuse of the present jury
system now in practice in the State. A
portion of theljury that convicted Iago
were in favor, Of finding a verdict
against him providing that his term of
imprisonmentlIwould not exceed one
year. 1t was with this understanding
that an agreement was reached. It
had however, been fully explained to
them by the Judge that they had moth
ing to do whatever with fixing the time
of imprisonment, .Ithat being his duty.
The jury evidently. did not understand
the Judges charge or wilfully disre-
garded it and the result is that both
State and defendant have been put to
a great deal of trouble and expense
which might have been avoided had
the jury as whole, been either intelli-
gent or conscientious.
