Mr.. EDIToR:-The "glorious
fourth" was rendered more glor-
ious by n most glorious rain. And,
while this day brings to our mem.
ory more wildly the days of the
great revolution, It's causes and
results, and while our souls thrill
with patriotism, and gratitude for
the liberty and free privileges
which we enjoy for the many
great things we have accomplished
as nation, we are none the less
grateful for these gentle showers
which are falling SO nicely this
morning.
General, the 6 year old son of
Mr. and Mrs j NJ Plyler, fell from
tree last Thursday, breaking the
femur bone of his left leg. DR.
Elliott set the broken limb. At
first he seemed to be getting along
nicely but Saturday he had several
severe spasms and no one who saw
him then thought he would re-
cover, but we are glad to state
thut he is now much better and is
almost out of danger.
Mrs. II NJ Parks is very seri-
ouslY i'll.
Messrs Henry, Andy and John
Rowell and Mr. Walter Carnes are
attending the teachers school at
Lancaster this week.
Laying by is now the order of
the day and in two more weeks
we will nearly all be done laying
by. NovUs Homo.

Attention Alliancemen.

Friday July 14th is the day for
our county Alliance meeting. This
meeting will be one of the most
important in the history of the
alliance in Lancaster county, and
we would urge upon sub-Alliances
10 have delegates or hand prompt
ly at 10 o'clock, and not only
delegates but it is very important
that every Allianceman in the
county attend that meeting. A
great deal depends upon the actions
of the Alliance on that day. We
wonder sometimes if the Alliance
men take the time and trouble to
think what the Alliance has done
for the farmer in the past. 1t
has killed Jute trust. 1t has
broken the tie trusts. The Alli-
ance is the best educator in the
world in a business way. We
have been the means Of improving
the grade of fertilizers and it costs
several dollars less than when the
Alliancemen organized. Our peo-
people are better informed on all
questions pertaining TO the. inter-
est of laboring classes. Now with
trusts and combinations being
formed all around us and all over
the country in every calling of
life, what is out duty as AlIi-
ancemen! Let us go to work
while we have our order in good
condition. Let us revive it where
it is tagging, reorganize the sub.

VAN WICK ITEMS.

We have very little news around
Van Wyck. Some rain and an
abundance of gossip and .'Old
Nick" turned loose. The way
faring man will have to be on u
faithful watch, or he will be drawn
into the ready set net, of strife,
contention and misrepresentation.
The week of prayer" passed
off very weak affair in this COM
munity. We need another earth
quake.
Our colored Baptist ministers
have crossed swords over the
question of close communion. One
contends this custom should be
done away with, and all christians
commune at the same table. For
this belief, his brethren talk of
withdrawing the hand of fellow
ship with him. The question is
left open for the present, but will
be discussed again in the near fu~
ture and may occasion another
brancn of Christian worshipers.
We understand the trustees and
patrons of Van Wyck school are
to meet next Saturday, for dis.
cussing rules, regulations and
plans for governing tie patrons
and teacher of the school. They
will also consider applications for
teacher and make selection.
They have number of applicants
and have good material to select
from, and will hardly err in thier
wisdom.

WARDNER, Idaho. May 3-All day
long the work of arresting the men be-
lieved to have been connected with the
Bunker Hill outrages has been in
progress. Tonight 104 prisoners are
under guard in the barn that has been
turned into jail for their detention.
Among them are many ringleaders in
the organization. More of the chief
dynamiters, however, have fed and are
now getting out of the country as best
they may. Their capture is a matter of
time They will not escape. The State
will go bankrupt, if necessary. in order
to bring about their conviction.
BY 10 o'clock this morning the work
of drawing the formal complaint
against the more notorious strikers had
been completed. The document was a
lengthy one, and in it were set down
the names of about fifty suspects. Then
the work of making the arrests COM
menced.
AS martial law had not at that time
been declared. the local consta bles were
deputed to serve the warrants, but
they were not alone in the work Cap
tain Bachelor of Company NJ put a
command of the constables, and they
began the hunt. Up to the head of the
guch marched the pursuers, and then.
turning back, they commenced a search
of every point where the rioters might
be in concealment. Their coming in
caused a panic among the strikers.
There was a wild scramble among them
up the sides of the canyon, but they
were not to escape in that way. AS
they lodged through the brush on the
mountain side the constables and their
deputies started in pursuit. and in most
cases the chase was a short one.
The sight of the dusky soldiers glis-
tening rifles was generally sufficient to
make them meekly surrender. Lined
up two abreast and colsely guarded by
the soldiers, the captives were marched
back down to the camp at the station
in little punches of twenty or thirty.
There they were turned into vacant
lot and kept under guard until about
5 o'clock. when they were transferred
to the loft of nearby barn.
While the arrest of the men in Ward
ner was under way searching parties of
soldiers. headed by the newly created
consta bles. were sent out all around
the surrounding country to pick up the
fugitiVes.
AS it was known that many rioters
were trying to escape over the hills
toward Harrison. Auditor Sinclair, who
is in charge of the campaign, engaged
a special train, which was rushed down
there It brought back five strikers.
Five or six more armed with rifles were
seen from the train, but owing to the
nearness of other trains it was impos-
sible to stop the special and start in
pursuit of them.
Among the men under arrest are five
or six Deputy Sheriffs, who were ele-
waited to that office by Deputy Sheriff
Bell since the trouble started

OPPOSED TO
TEACHING Of
EVOLUTION
Important Decision Is Ex-
pected Soon From
Rome.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 3-According to
current report in Catholic circles an
other important decision is expected
soon from Rome. 1t will affect the
scientific teaching of evolution as op
posed to special creation. 1t is said
that in ecclesiastical circles the opinion
is that the decision will be adverse to
the theory of evolution. AS in other
recent controversies that have agitated
Catholic circles the inspection and
propagation of this new cult in Ca
tholicism comes from the West. In
it's teaching the most ardent advocates
have been friends and associates of
Archbishop Ireland. Notably prominent
as a leader of this school of thought
is Rev. Dr. John Zamm, once professor
of science at Metre Dame University,
but now superior in America OF the
teaching and missionary order known
as the Fathers of the Holy Cross, nu-
merous and popular in the West ReF.
Dr. Zamm is the author OF several
widely known volumes, notably those
entitled Catholic Science and Sclen-
lists" Bible Science and Faith and
Dogma and Evolution"
Although he had long been held in
special repute as a scientist Wlder at
tention was drawn to his views oy
series of lectures he delivered three
wears ago at the sessions of the Cathollc
Summer School at Plattsburg. n. u In
these his advanced themes on the an
tiouity of the world, the time God took
to create it, the extent of the Noachlan
deluge and the compatibility OF certain
evolutionary processes with the Catho,
lie faith and dogma created sharp ana
extended criticisms. In publications.
recognized as speaking for the Jesuits
the appropriateness and adVisablllty OF
such speculative theories as part OF
Catholic teachings were strongly de-
MED. g..
After the subject had been widely dis
cussed DR.. Zamm was called to Rome.
It was known that his theories had
been referred to a commission of Car
dinals to be investigated and passed
upon. and it was thought he would be
disciplined. But he was received with
honor. made doctor of philosophy and
later the representative of his order in
Rome as procurator general. He was
then sent back to the United States as
superior of the order here.
Nothing was heard of the Cardinals
investigation until the present report
that they will find against the evolu-
tiOn theory.

WHITE PASS LOCOMOTIVE
CRUSHED BY AVALANCHE
Immense Slide on the Trail to Daw-
son Wrecks One of the En-
gines Near Glacier.

VICTORIA, b. c., May 3.-The usual
springtime avalanches are occurring on
the White Pass. According to late ar
rivals from the trail many slides have oc-
Cured during the past month, although
fortunately none have yet been the cause
of any loss of life as far as can be as
certained The deadly avalanche, how
ever, is responsible for the derailment of
an engine of the White Pass and Yukon
Railway with considerable damage to the
Arctic iron horse. 1t was on April 27 that
the slide took place. A heavy mass of
snow and ice, carrying quite a quantity of
earth and general debris with it, swept
down the hillside on the White Pass and
Yukon track, about midway between
Glacier and the tunnel above that station
1t struck an engine standing there and
swept it from the rails. The locomotive
was badly injured but no further damage
was done. A large mass of snow and ice
covered the track for some distance Men
were put on to clear 1t, and 1t was ex-
pected that traffic would not be delayed
long.
