M. kRANTZ.

HltbIte, purpOseiy slain; the king and
the nation were disgraced, and newt
able ruin was goa wing away at the
heartstriDgs of verything. Naturally
enough and justly enough the king
was himself tue greatest sufferer. His
conscience was literally consuming
him inch by inch. Hear him in verses
nlpe aod ten Of this Psalm, "Have
mercy upon me, o Lord, for 1 am in
trouble: mine eye is consumed with
grief, yea, my life Is spent with grief,
and my years with signing; my
strength faIleth because of mine mi
quiyy and my bones are consumed"
But is it any wonder that he was
thus in trouble? Think of his crime ;
al once fnrnicator and murderer.
The law of God as reve lied in the word
and 10 nature demand punishment
for such crimes and between them man
is certain to be caught somewhere. He
may escape the law and fury of his fell
low, but he will fall victim to the
Law of uature-co science. And 1 doubt
not tn 10 he Christian, this is God 8
heaviest scourge- But blessed be his
name he holds even this in his hano 8
with power to modify or to stay at his
own good pleasure.
David knew this. So he took the
whole matter OF his guilt to God,
against thee aud thee only have
sinned and done Shis evil in thy sight.
Have mercy upon me o God, according
to thy loving kindness; according to the
multitude Of thy tender mercies. blot
out my transgressions. 1t is true, o
Lord that L have drenched my days
with blood and filed my times with
sorrow: but Lord thou knowest all; my
times are in thy haods. Thou canst
break the iron letters that have forg-
ed, and let the prisoner free. Do wit h
me as thou sc est best. 1 submit it all
into thy hands. pleading with thee for
mercy" o, how many thousands see in
this a photograph of their own expert
epce: how many who have found COM
fort here; how we all need to pray
Break break! thou mighty one, the
letters that hold me bound and let the
prisoner free!Create in me clean heart
0, God, aud renew right spirit with
in me-" David found comfort here,
and there is comfort for every sinner

Is. The following is b part OF what he
said: In point of duration there is no
time with God. Time and times are
and me .su ed by the vicIssltuies Of
life. But these are not the results of
blind late. God is behind them. He
gives these various changes directly,
or permits us to bring them on cur
selves. He reserves the right to take
away any times he has given US and to
perpetuate, or break, any fettered
times that we may bring on ourselves.
And he does this just in accordance
with what his allseeing eye tells him
will be for our good, for the good of
our fellow, and for Gods glory: and in
accordance with the position we put
ourselves in and maintain in relation
to him. Hence the two main thong ts
suggested. Personal responsibility,
and personal comfort.
In the discussion OF the first thought,
q few evenings ago, likened life to
great engine governed by perfect laws
which God the great master-mechanic
has committed into the hands of man,
the engineer, and which. if faithfully
applied to this engine, will bring it to
q me- jestic success and make itself felt
by all with which is Is connected:
while on tire other hand to neglect
the application of these laws to life's
engine would rot only cripple its
movement, and destroy its higher pos
sibilities, but would often bring q
break down that would scatter chaos
and ruin everywhere and sometimes
bring total destruction to the engine
itself; suggesting at the close the nee
essity of Selling every moment for the
best use of these laws, knowing that,
while man is growing. life is in decrease.
And cradles rock us nearer to the grave;
Our birth is nothing but our death begun"
And now come to think of the second |
thought com fort. Under this :
We find, first: Comfort to the sinner.
David had neglected the great engine /
of life's morals. The or ,sh bad come;

tex. In verse ID David says, 81 have
| heard the SANDER of many; fear was on
every side; while they took counsel to-
gether against me, they devised to
take away my life" But says he. ST
trusted in thee, o Lord; l said thou
art my God. My times are in thy
hands: deliver me from the hand of
mine enemies, and from them that per-
secute me-" And then few verses
further on he cries out, "How great is
thy goodness which thou hast laid up
for them that fear thee. Thou shalt
hide them from the secret of thy pres
ence; from the pride of man; thou shalt
keep them secretly in thy pavilion
from the strife of tongues.
Omy friends, what an unspeakable
comfort it is when wars come upon our
nation, when corruption comes into
our community, when trials come into
our churches and in individual life,
when the wrath of man and the
the strife of tongues are turned against
US, to take refuge in God, and know
that he who holds our times in his
hand will hide us in the secret pavil-
ion of his presence from the wrath of
man and the strife of tongues. Happy,
thrice happy, the man who, whether
lean heavily on the arm of God and
drink deeply from the fountain of his
love. For,

ELK CITY WAGON ROAD,
WaShoutS on NeWSOme Creek
Blockade all Vehicles.

The road to Elk City needs at.
tention and needs it at once. From
here to mile or two above the
switchback, the snow is all gone
and Surridge Bros. are taking the
mail and passengers tO that point
on wheels aud hobs. From Switch
back over the summit OF Big Badly
down to Toothaker springs the
snow road is impossible for vehicles
Of any kind and this part will have
to be shoveled out to make it pas
sable for wheeled vehicles. From
To0thaker springs to Elk the snow
is all gone and the road is open ex-
cept for some bad washonts along
Newsome creek, and consequently
the mail and passengers and OK
press has to be packed on horseback
all the way to Elk City.
AS this is the only wagon road
which approaches anywhere near
the Buffalo Hump, and is bound to
be in great demand for TIA traus-
portation OF freight to Newsome,
Elk City, Red River, Dixie, Fish
Lake, Badger and Buffalo Hump,
the demand for it's immediate re-
pair is urgent and should be at
tended to without delay.
Here is an area of country larger
than many states which is block
AIDED for wheeled vehicles by q few
washouts along Newsome creek.
The importance of this road in the
development Of all the camps men,
toned above is too apparent 10
need argument, and in the present
state of affairs its continued neg
lect is IA crime against the public
welfare. Already hundreds of tons
of freight are piling up in Grange
Vile awaiting transportation over
this road to the several camps, aud
as it seems idle to expect relief from
the county treasury it occurs to us
that the citizens OF Grangeville
would do well to attend to it as a
business proposition,
1t is pretty hard that after we
have furnished the funds to build
the road we should be called on to
keep it open, but such is life in a
new country.

Crooked river, direct to the Hump.
A letter to the editor from Elk
states that the project has mater
ialized and the trail is now open to
travel.
Our correspondent says: "We
have put in a fine trail from the
Badger mill to the top of the
mountain by means of switchbacks
with easy and uniform grades, good
enough for wagon road were it
widened out. From the top Of the
mountain we follow a ridge be-
tween the middle and east forks Of
Crooked river TO within a mile or
so of Lake creek. This ridge, as
You know. needs little or no grad
ing. it being gradual slope all the
way From the end OF the ridge
near Lake creek we make another
good grade. The distance is only
seven miles, or one-half the dist
ance as given in the maps and as
ii meaaures over the snow road
built by the Big Buffalo syndicate
last winter.
The public ought to be informed
of the merits of this route, for even
though it be q somewhat longer
way to get into the Hump, yet it is
an easy. practical route, with a
wagon road within seven miles of
the mines, and that seven miles is
over a good, first class trail, graded
three feet wide. with no grades
over ~ per cent.
some people may, through pre-
jndice, never come this way, but
there are SO many new people COM
ing into the country now who
would ba glad to know Of it and
to travel>it that common justice de-
mands the widest publicity for the
new route.
For the past month the mail for
Buffalo Hump has been packed
over this new trail, and in view of
the fact that it is on the only
wagon road which runs within
seven miles of the Hump, it's adj
vantages are apparent to all.

Chief Savyho, in south Ida
no, died last week and is 4
"good Indian" now. The Pc
catello Advance says in a fiji
of jealousy he pierced his heart
with a bullet. Horsemen were
sent in all directions over the
reservation heralding the news.
The funeral was arranged for
and from the time of the trag.
edy until long after the burial,
the Indians kept up an unin.
terrupted wall, so mournful
and hideous that even the coy.
otes all took to the hills. The
corpse was taken into every
tepee for miles around, the In.
dams whispering words of
cheer, offering meat and drink,
lavishing caresses with the
roughest SEIZURE possible, UNI
til the body was transformed
into a hue of inky blackness.
The body was buried and with
it six shawls, a fine blanket,
some calico, his saddle and per
sonal effects. After the grave
had been covered, three ponies
were killed, painted red and
q upon the grave to guard
g. s6tsud repose of him who
shall "savyho' no more. The
sister of the dead chief was
"the center of the glittering
ring" and as customary she
was barred to the waist and
covered with self-inhicted
wounds. The Advance also
says the wife of Savyho, who
aroused his jealousy, and was
therefore responsible for his
death, can henceforth find no
home among her people and,
like a wandering Ulysses,
must embark upon life's vov.
age alone among a strange
people.
