immortalize their name by good
fortune, some again immortalize
their name by evil fortune. Why
this must BIZ so no man knoweth,
all we can say is that:
God moves in mysterious way;
His wonders to perform.
Some men are seemingly born
with a silver spoon, while others
get the hard knocks. But to those
who suffer there is a rich and
glorious reward, in the far eternal
beyond, blessed home in the
mansion prepared for them from
the foundations of the earth. If
it were not so suffering would
cease to be a blessing. From
Davids line was born a boy, and
they called his name Jesus, and
at His name every knee shall bow,
both in heaven and in earth. He
lived a quiet and humble life, He
toiled in the heat and burden of
the day, as do all Of those who
earn their daily bread by thes weet
of their brow, when He became old
enough to stand before His Judge,
then it was, that He gave up his
life to fulfil the destiny set before
Him. All who believe on His
Holy Name, believe also that after
his death, that He decended into
hell and spread the glad tidings
of redemption to the lost souls,
in prison, He passed through this
frey ordeal for term of 90 three
Then He rose again accoring to
history, both sacred and profane.
By this holy example He sets
before us, the fact that if we de-
scend into a place Of punishment,
in this world. that it may be the
means necessary to bring our
proud and stubborn heart, to the
state of humility so necessary be-
fore any one may become a Saint,
or holy man.
Let the public voice jeer and
laugh you to scorn. If you have
indeed the true love Of God in
your heart then you need fear no
evil, for God will sustain you, and
he will raise up friends for you,
out of what may appear to be
utter darkness.
Therefore do not be afraid, do
not be disconsolate, but enter more
fully into the love of your creator.
Trust Him; try and serve Him:
pray to Him earnestly, always; do
not quit, but keep on praying and
asking Him to help you, and if
you will-never fear, He will
hear your prayer. He will harken
unto your voice, He will come to
your rescue, and in your flesh
you shall surely see God, and He
will give you His blessing.

Mr.. Timms Goes to Washington For
the Purpose of Securing Approval
of Interior Observation-Disclosures
Deposits On the Uintah Reserva-
tion-Revenues of Indians.
Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Utah, April 22.-George f.
Timms has left Salt Lake for Washing
ton, D. c., where he goes for the pur-
pose of trying to secure from Secretary
of the Treasury Bliss a lease on the
gold, silver and copper Veins of the
Uintah reservation, similar to that
granted the Raven Mining company a
few months ago, and which has a life
of ten years.
Upon the reservation there are known
to exist valuable deposits of copper and
big veins of the precioJs metals. and it
has been for a long time thought and,
in fact. conceded that it would be only
a matter of time until a lease would be
granted.
Those who are familiar with the In
dians of the tribes of the reservation
say the red men favor such disposition
of the mineral bearing ground as was
made with the Raven company. The
Indians like the idea of having ready
money coming in. and already their
royalties equal almost a living. From
the sales of their lands in Colorado they
have on deposit with the government,
in the shape of government bonds.

WOMAN ON WEBER JURY PANEL
MRS. E. D. ROBINSON WILL BE
SUMMONED TODAY.
State Law Exempts Women From
This Duty and Mrs. Robinson Will
Be Excused-Wyoming Incident.
(special to The Herald.)

Ogden, April 23.-Mrs. l.. d. Robin
son of Roy, Weber county, has the dis
tinction of being the first woman in
Utah to be summoned to serve on a
jury. By an inadvertence, Mrs. ROD
inson's name was included in the jury
list, and under the impression that she
was a man, her name was drawn as
one of the petit jurors of the Second
district court for the May term.
Sheriff Layne will go out to Roy to-
day and serve the summons on Mrs.
Robinson For a time the gallant sher-
iff felt somewhat diffident about ap-
preaching a lady to summons her as a
juror, but as he has received the sum-
mons from the county clerk he believes
it to be his duty to serve it and serve
it he vows he will. That is as far as
his duty goes, and he is resolved TO
have Mrs. Robinson brought into court
and then let Judge Rolapp square mat
terS with her.
At the time the right of suffrage was
granted to women in Utah, the wise
lawmakers of the state foresaw diff
culties and snags in the way when 1t
came to the matter of jury service.
Consequently, an express provision was
placed in the states statutes exempt
ing women from jury service. Section
1893 of the revised statutes reads: "A
person shall be exempt from liability
to act as a juror who is a female citi-
zen -
Years ago in Wyoming women were
competent as jurors and this law at
that time led to many interesting and
some decidedly laughable incidents. In
one case a woman was drawn on jury
in a murder case and as the trial lasted
over the first day, she was not allowed
to return home. The next morning u
disheveled, red-eyed individual, collar
less and cravatleSS, came into court be-
fore the hearing was resumed. He ap-
preached the judge. With some diff1-
Guilty his honor recognized the man.
For heavens sake, what's wrong,
old MANI" he exclaimed. You look as
though you had been tossed by mad
steer or run through a rotary SNOW
plow."
We'll, judge" the man replied, 81
don't look half as bad as ! feel. You've
got my wife penned up here with a jury
and last night they wouldn't let her
come home. OF course the baby had
to seize the opportunity to grow a new
tooth and I've been busy pouring pare
goric into him since early last evening.
That's why | look as though I'd been
ON a bat for a week. 1 want my wife,
and if l don't get her, either / or that
kid or somebody else in Wyoming will
be a corpse before night"
He got his wife.
In Idaho the question has come up
as to the eligibility of women to serve
and it resulted in their favor. In many
cases women are summoned as jurors
and in one Idaho town a jury COM
posed entirely of women tried a case IN
which the defendant was woman.

GAGE APPOINTS DAN BURNS.
California Governor Fills the Sena-
torial Vacancy.

San Francisco. April 24-The Examiner
this morning says that just as he started
for Los Angeles Governor Gage was ask
ed what he thought of the appointment
of Matthew S. Quay as senator from
Pennsylvania by Governor Stone of that
state.
Stone he said, .'but If your question has
anything to do with the senatorship from
California, all I've got to say is that I've
already appointed Dan Burns as United
States senator to succeed Stephen NJ
White. His commission has not yet been
made out That's ALL.
The governor would not say when the
sued; in fact. he refused to discuss the
right of Governor Stone to appoint Quay
as senator. He left the impression, how
ever. that if Quay is seated by the SEN
ate, he will at once issue commission TO
ID. NJ. Burns.

regiment for Manila June 15.
| In appearance he was short and
slight and had rather an ascetic coun-
tenance, due, perhaps to the fact that
he was always a very studious man.
| He was a strict disciplinarian, and the
recruits he had to break in during the

SO bitterly that they procured the pas

him through the Nebraska legislature
Once they became engaged in actual
warfare, however. the merits of his
course became so apparent that in re-
sponse to a very strong demand from
the people of the state and the soldiers
themselves, the resolution of censure,
by formal vote, was eXpunged from
the legislative records.
Colonel John NJ. Stotsenberg was in
command of the First Nebraska volun-
teer infantry as the result of the illness
of an officer and the detachment of
another.
The First Nebraska went to Manila
in command of Colonel Bratt and under

Later Colonel Bratt became i'll and

General Otis ordered him home, and
then, as he did not care to take Colon
el Cotton out of the customs depart
ment, where he was doing excellent
work, decided to select some officer
for command of the regiment.
Choice fell upon Stotsenberg of the
Sixth cavalry and he was named.
He had strong opposition from the
command, manv of the old officers
thinking that those in regular line
should be promoted, but they were soon

The Death of b. M. Burdett.


A brief mention was made in last is
sue of the sudden death of Col. Ben M.
Burdett, which occurred at Lexington.
Mr.. Burdett was citizen of Lancas-
ter for many years, and the town new
er had more public-spirited,or thrift
ty man in her borders. He was law
partner of the lamented Judge Mike
H: Owsley, and the two practiced here
until Judge OwSley went on the cir
cult court bench. While Mr.. Burdett
was devoted to his law practice, yet
he gave much time and study to i'm
prOvements for the town, and was al
ways at the head Of any proposed ad-
vancement. 1t was he who did much
work toward establishing Garrard
College, and large sum of the money
to build that handsome institution
was raised by him. He was a safe and
careful lawyer, and stood by his eli
ent'S interests to the last. AS friend,
Mr.. Burdett was true, and he was al
ways ready to help anyone who was in
trouble. If he met with business re-
verses, he would not stop to worry
over it, but would push ahead with re-
newed energy. He was the kind Of
citizen who worked increasingly for
his towns interests, and never did he
pull back or throw cold water upon
any move for the peoples interests.
He was not one of the rule or ruin
kind, but worked faithfully in any
harness the people chose to place up
on him. He was never a well man,
but seldom complained. He moved to
Florida in search Of health, but tn,
change proved for the worse. He
leaves widow, residing in Lexington,
who has deep sympathy from many
Lancaster and Garrard county friends.
