II WAS the business depression re-

1893 which created the conditions in
the west which gave the democracy
several states In the Mississippi valley
and on the Paci ne slope In 1896, says the
Olympian. Republican prosperity has
enstied since then, and the situation Is
changed. This Is why the reports Of
pcrity throughout the west. which
come from democrats and republican
alike, have disinartening effect on

WOOD MEN HAVE A GRIEVANCES

The wood men Of this section are on
the war path, and II would seem that
the reasons given for their action are
~ the very best. No one who IL ac-
quainted with the circumstances. rs
set forth by them, can deny that the
wood men have Il Just grievance against
the Northern Pacific Railway compa-
ny, which Is the object of their Ire.
These mems chief product IL wood,
and many depend on trnnie In this
commodity entirely for livelihood.
with them 1t Is simply "A matter of pro-
dncing wood and finding IA market for

amount tn produce cord of wood,
whether they chop II themselves or
tain amount 10 market the conmodi-
", and the total Of these two certain
amounts often exceeds while Ii rarely
falls below the market price Of the
wood. Now, The kick these people
have against the Railway company Is:
When they have their labor and money
invested In II quantity of wood. the
value of which seldom exceeds the
amount OF their Investment, they are
obliged To spend as much ur more time
than was originally required to pro-
duee the wood In waiting for ears Ia
market the same. with the result that
when the wood is finally disposed OF
they find themselves IN debt tn the
merchants who have been furnishing
supplies during the waiting season.
The wood men are agreed that I'M
less these conditions are changed very
soon they will bc forced ont Of the bus
incss altogether. Complaints to local
agents Of the company appear To avail
them nothing, because these cannot
do mure than to send IN the orders for
cars, however good their intentions
may hc, and complaints to the higher
officials seem To 81 UNDECIDED.

AT ALL SAINTS CHURCH.

Discourse BY Rev. James II. Coley--
Children's Service
At All Saints church the Rev. James
f. Coley preached from the text with
out Faith 1t Is Impossible to Please
Him, for He That Cometh to God Must
Believe That He Is" The preacher en-
phasized the fact that faith must pre-
cede Observation-Disclosures first and
light and direction afterwards. The
sustaining power of faith in the person
of Christ was dwelt upon, and a COM
parison made between the certainty and
joy of the believer and the doubt and
uncertainty of infidality. An urgent APP
peal was made to all to cherish the
truth of Christianity until the unbeliever
shall substitute something better in it's
place.
The organist at All Saints mission
has arranged for a children's service on
next Sunday evening. The evening SER
vice commences at Z p m. Evening
prayer without sermon, Following is
the programme:
Professional SIG.
Glorias-Selected.
Bonum Est
Nunc Dimittis.
Hymn 500.
Carbohydrates We the Father

Another report was that she jumped

ranged 1t was stated at the hospital
