COULDN'T STOP HIM.

The injunction recently issued by a
West Virginia judge, restraining a min>
lister from holding religious exercises
near the property owned by a coal com.
pany recalls to mind an experience in
the life Of a minister well-known to the
old residents OF southern Missouri and
western Kentucky. This minister was
Elder John Smith. who was one OF the
early ministers Of the Disciples church.
Smith was Old and feeble when the
civil war broke out, but he determined
to keep on preaching till the end OF his
life. Stricken with palsy and intirm
with age, he travelled to Mexico, Audrian
county. to visit a son-in-law and preach
TO the church there. Smith was a union
man. and advised all his friends to stand
by the government. At that time many
Missouri ministers were openly advocat-
ing the doctrine of secession from the
pulpit, and the authorities sought to sup
press them by inaugurating a license
system. Each minister had to have a
license, and before securing it had to
take the oath OF allegiance.
Smith refused to take out a license
and was arrested. When the officer
came to arrest him, Smith refused to
accompany him. Shaking his palsied
fist in the face Of the officer. he exclaim,
ed: Sir, I am licensed by a higher
power than the state OF Missouri, and
I deny its Jurisdiction in the premises
SHOW me your license" laughingly
replied the officer, who was one Of the
old mans warmest friends.
go home, SIR" exclaimed the old
man, 'and read the nineteenth verse OF
the twenty-eighth chapter OF Matthew
and the fifteenth verse OF the sixteenth
chapter OF Mark. That is my license
to preach, and it was given to me be-
fore there vas such a thing as a state
OF Missouri"
"Raccoon John" Smith did not 60
with the officer that day, and he preach
ed without let or hindrance for a year
longer. and then yhe final summons
came.-Omaha World-Herald.

The tattening of lambs in this valley
would work in many ways for the add
vancement Of the interests OF the peo,
PIE. Primarily it would put a large
sum OF money into the pockets Of the
~sheepra,sers, from whence it would flow
into general circulation, but that would
mot be the only benefit. 1t would give
more employment to the railroad and
would put more money into the pockets
OF railroad men who ~padronize the mer-
chants 7 this community, and it would
give the Union Pacific people a practi-
cal demonstration of the utility OF home
enterprises in building up the traffic of
the road. One industry should be made

In the east it is now the custom to
turn OIL a large percentage OF steers at
two years old. By winter feeding this
is done with splendid results. it not
being profitable to keep them longer.
Thus the money OF the farmer is turned
oscener and Che profits are greater. This
could be done in '1he Laramie valley, and
with cheap corn it might be profitable to
feed a lttale corn 10 the growing calf.
The cheaper rates Of transportation
which are now being offered will doubt
less open up many new enterprises in
the s~tockgrowing industries of the state.

New York, Oct 17--In an interview with
Murat Halstead tonight, ex-President
Harrison said:
L have been watching the campaign in
New York with increasing interest. The
issue seems to me to be whether you shall
have any issues-the Citizens Union hold
ing the negative and the Republicans the
affirmative.
There is great force in the suggestion
that ordinarily a citg election ought to
turn upon questions of city administra-
zion. but there are national questions that
will not be ignored. The men who voted
for Mckinley in 1S96-whether Republi-
cans or gold DemocratS-will not fail to
INQUIRE how the candida res for MAYOR of
Greater New York stand upon the ques-
ton whether public and private debts are
to be paid at 40 cents on the dollar, and
whether the just powers of the courts
are to be upheld against the assaults OF
the mob Tney Will want to know. furth-
er. whether d particular election is going
to scatter or weaken the forces that won
they Will think. ought not to be repu-
diationist or friend of the mob.
1t IS folly to say that the ST. Louis
platform is not an issue and that the bus
mess men of this Greater New York are
not TO take account of the influence the
election may have in the further fight
that is to be made before the advocates
of reputation and disorder are dispersed.
Good local purposes and management are
not the worse for being associated with
good national purposes and measures.
Business men have MT forgotten that the
Republican party met these grave ques-
lions and threatening issues boldly and
offered a rallying point to che Democrats
who had been overwhelmed in their IN
convention What has the republican
party done since to forfeit the~S Infidence
of those who vosed its ticket in 1896?
The business men of New York have a
right 10 make sure shat the issue of tEliS
cry c1rHesE is not eaich as to weaken or
disorganiZe HE sf-lnd money forces

London. Oct 1s.-The Times, in its

the cabinet has decided to decline to
reopen the Indian rnints. or to enter
an international monetary conference.

that the opening of'the Indian mints
