Acts XIV. I1-22.
INTRODUCTION.


These old cities of Asia Minor, Anti
och. Lystra, Derbe, Iconium, where
Paul and Barnabas fulfilled their heroic
mission, have at the present date been
for centuries under the reign OF that
blight of civilization, Mohammedanism;
and consequently, these cities have but
little to interest modern tourists who
are not in search Of obscure ruins. But
by some modern travellers the obscure
ruins of these old cities. even where the
remains are but weather beaten stones
in desolate mountain solitudes, are
searched out and marked with enthu-
eiasm. And we stay-at-homes read the
adventurous narratives Of these delivers
in antiquity with responsive enthusi.
asm.-Strange! Because two hero.
ic men eighteen hundred and fifty years
ago passed through this region. we now
regard even the fragments of these old
cities with Unsuitable curiosity. Only
this thread connecting these cities with
the everlasting Gospel, holds these an
Gent cities, or certain of them, from com
nlete oblivion. 1--WE are brought
into contact" says Conybeare, speaking
of the lesson passage. with totally
new subject; with heather superstition
and mythology. Yet not the supersti-
ton of an educated mind, as that of
Sergius Paulus, nor the mythology of a
refined and educated taste. like that of
the Athenians. But the mythology
and superstition of rude and unso-
phisticated people.--Thus does the
Gospel, in the person of Paul. success
lively clash with opposing powers; with
sorcerers and philosophers; with cruel
magistrates and false divinities. Now
it is the rabbinical master Of the syna-
gogue, now the listening proselyte from
the Greeks, that is resisted or con.
vinced now the honest inquiry of a
Roman officer, now the wild fanaticism
of rustic credulity, that is addr essed
with bold and persuasive eloquence."

representative OF Thurston County to
the first territorial legislature which
covened at Olympia in February 1854.
Olympia then boasted of population
of about $50 persons and the legisla-
Fture met in the building adjoining the
old Young's hotel, lately occupied by
the Gold Bar restaurant. A part of
| Mr.. Shelton's work at that session was
the setting off of Sawamish county
from Thurston. The name of this
county was afterward changed to Ma
sou county, in honor of G. II. Mason,
the first territorial secretary and for
long time acting governor.
About that time the Indians be-
come troublesome, especially the
Northern Indians, and 1866 were
two years of fighting the Indians and
protecting houses and families of the
whites. Early in the war, David Shell
ton answered the call for volunteers
serving as the lieutenant Of a COM
pauy. His family and portable goods
were taken down to a strong fort
which had been constructed on the
point across from Arcadia. The stock
ade was fifteen feet high and enclosed
several acres. Here the families of
the settlers were easily protected, and
gradually the Indians were forced in
to peace again.
Returning to his claim, the family
started in earnest the work of hewing
out house, the boys being old enough
to help with the work. Here David
Shelton remained in peaceful pursuits
until 1862, when with party of gold
seekers, he spent the summer in Idaho,
hunting for his fortune in the excite
ment of that period. That fall he was
again elected to represent Mason
County in the legislature, and in the
thirty years that have followed he has
been more or less active in political
life, serving as county commissioner,
Auditor, probate Judge, school super
intendent In the county and director
or clerk of the school district. He has
always been an uncompromising dem
ocrat of the old school.
True to the sentiments of. his father,
David Shelton endeavored always to
keep ahead of the steadily advancing
wave of civilization, but like the cold
Settler" of Francis Henry's song, he
had come to the jumping Off place,
and was forced to abide here, watch
ing the encroachments of the fair
young city which bears his name. AS
its paternal ancestor David Shelton
has done we'll by Shelton, being public
spirited and willing to do all in his
power for its advancement. AS the
owner of the original town-site,
churches, schools and all public enter
prises received his liberal aid.
In the death of this sturdy pioneer
Monday, February 18th, 1897, Shelton
and Mason county have sustained an
irrepArable loss and our own people
will miss his kindly face and friendly
interest in our welfare. The ranks of
the pioneers of the state are rapidly
closing up, and the Pioneer Associa-
tion of Washington will be called up
on next session t) scratch from their
rolls of active membership the name
of David Shelton, although its roster
will be permanent in the history of
Washington and the hearts of its true
citizens.

EVIDENCE RESUMED.
The State Attacking the Character of the
Defenses Witnesses.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The taking of tes
timOny in the Luetgert trial moved
with refreshing rapldity today. The
reputation. of Matt Scholey, who testi-
fled that he saw Mrs. Luetgert in Ke-
nosha, Wis, on May 3 and 4, was at
taoked and witnesses followed each
other rapidly TO say they would not
believe Soholey under oath.
Several of the witnesses are not of
high order of intelligence. The
word "veracity" foored one of them
completely. The witness would not
believe Scholey under oath because
the latter had been his partner in a
saloon and they had quarreled and
dissolved.
William II. Appel, Andrew Larsen,
Peter Barbros, Peter Wagner and
other neighbors of a man who was so
positive in his Identification of the
photograph Of Mrs. Luetgert as the
picture of the woman he saw in Ke-
nosha two days after Mrs. Luetgert
disappeared, asserted without reser-
walton that they would not believe
Scholey under oath.
There was a sharp and sarcastic
cross questioning.

LITTLE CUMBERLAND.
The Committee Decidedly Favorable to This
Island.

The Constitution says:
"Mr. Hall and Senators Dunwody
and Shropshire, who were appointed
by Chairman Cook to write the report
that will accompany the bill when it
is presented to the JOINT committee
concluded their labors at noon yester-
day and sent their manuscript to the
printer to be put In type. The report
is brief one, and says that owing to
the short time in which the committee
had to frame bill and prepare re-
port they were unable to do much in
the way of inspecting the various
pieces of property offered the state for
penitentiary site.
"They refer to their Sapelo island
visit at some length, and give dis
tinct boom to real estate in that Sec
tion of Georgia by complimenting the
agricultural advantages of SapelO and
sounding its praises as a health re-
sort. The tenor of the report is not
favorable to the placing of the con-
victs on Sapelo or any other sea
island, even, except possibly Little
Cumberland, owing to their size, in
accessibility and the amount of money
necessary to put them in proper shape.
All the other pieces of property Of
fered the state are catalogued without
other comment than the descriptions
furnished by owners or agents."
