Christianity Moves Onward.

When one hears the pessimists. who are
so numerous; pointing out with sort OF
lugubrious exultation the defects In our
modern civilization, the blemishes In social
life. the hindrances which righteousness in
politics has to encounter the shortcomings
Of Christian believers, and the occasional
ebbs in the tide of Christian progress on
large scale, 1t Is worth while to stop
and consider what advance the gos-
pei OF Christ actually has been max
ing among, men during recent times.
He who will thus spend a few moments
In reflection will be convinced that. In spite
Of whatever evidence Of rstrogression may
be apparent, the course OF Christianity has
been straightforward and unyaryins on the
whole. In Christian nations higher type
Of conservation has become plain. There
are more persons than ever before who evt-
Gently make serving God the real business
cf their lives. who use time. means and op-
portunity with distinct reference to their re-
lations to their Creator. Little by little, but
surely, righteousness is permeating the COM
"ial and social, he civil and political
life.

SoveltIes For the Winter Season.

Some of the novelties and special
ties which have been prepared for the
winter season include dainty ieweled
chatelaines in gun-metal and gold,
and these are obtainable, moreover,
at third or less of the price one is
beguiled into paying for them at shops
on the other side, on the score that
they are not to be had elsewhere.

Ramos Are Becoming Popular.

Bangs are slowly but surely super.
seding the pompadour. The most
novel feature of the coiffure is the
pouch at the back. 1t is often so ex-
aggerated that it hangs over the COL
lar. The scold locks are caught up
the middle of the pouch with dainty
bit of a gold lace pin and a luxurious
head of hair is affected by padding the
pouch with wide pompsdour roll.

Suggestive Experience.

Fifteen years ago Minneapolis adopted

looms to q district in the business quarter
equal to one-twelfth the entire area OF the
city.
At the time this ordinance was adopted
Minneapolis had a population OF about So.
900 and 536 saloons, or one to every ninety

The saloons were scattered all over the
| city. They paid license OF 800 each,
making the city's income from this source
| $53 900.
The Peabody ordinance has worked won
derful changes. The poulation OF Mime
apolis Is now estimated at 240, 900, and
there are $50 saloons against 536 when the
city had only $4,000 population, or one to
every 1877 people instead OF one to every
niDety-fve.
The license has been increased from 800
to $1,000, and the city receives revenue OF
$3.50, 900 from its saloons instead OF the

carried on In streets beyond the "dead

creased In value IN certain quarters owing

last Friday. The exercises, which
consisted of singing, Rotations,

WITH this issue THE Sun begins the
ninth year OF its existence and the
eighth under its present management.
beginning with this number the sub
scription price will be $500 per year.
We know that the out look in this valley
never was 80 bright as now, and we have
felt the great increase in prosperity OF
our people by the increase in our sub.
scription list and the great number that
have paid up the amount for which they
were in arrears. With the assurance
that The Sun will in the future, as in
the past, furnish tho news of the valley
and stand by it's interest without waver-
ing, we ask for a continuance of the
kind and liberal treatment from
the people, in the FIXTURE. that they have

Ingersoll's Religion.

After all there is not 80 much
difference between the religion of
Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll and
that of the consistent follower of
Jesus. 1t is all expressed in the
golden rule. The dividing line
between the two is the belief in
eternity. Ingersoll p~rofessed that
he did not know. Followers of
Christ and believers in other forms
of religion maintain that they do
know through faith. Those who
follow the creed of Ingersoll must
of necessity be good people while
on earth. This was his religions:
ITO love justice, to long for the
right, to love mercy, to pity the
suffering, to assist the weak, to
forget wrongs and remember ben
efits, to love the truth, to be sin
cere, to utter honest words, to love
liberty, to wage relentless war
against slavery in all forms, to love
wife, child and friend, to make
home happy, to love the beautiful
in art and in nature, to cultivate
the mind, to be familiar with the
mighty thoughts that genius has
expressed, the noble deeds of all
the world, to cultivate courage and
cheerfulpess, to make others hap
py, to fill life with the splendor
of generous acts, the warmth of
loving words, to discard errors, to
destroy prejudice,to cultivate hope,
to see the calm beyond the storm,
the dawn beyond the night, to do
the best that can be done and
then be iesigned-this is the re-
ligion of reason, the creed of
science. This satisfies the brain
and heart."-Laramie Republican.

the library, not for private profit
but for public use and benefit, the
undersigned takes this means of
announcing to the public the OBJ
jects of the purchase and the pro-
posed plans to attain these objects.
The building will at once be
cleaned and repaired. The books
remaining in the library will be
catalogued, and an effort made to
have returned to the building
books belonging to the library
which are scattered about the
town and country. Those know
ing themselves to be in possession
of books belonging to the Ballard

to return them at once to the I'M

tions and direct purchase of books.
Tables will be supplied as soon as
possible with the principle maya
zines and other periodicals, in
Guiding several mining journals.
The rear room will be fitted up
with as a sort of museum for
a display of the natural products
of the region tributary to Sarato-

Public spirited citizens are invit-

proper officers in p~erpetuity for
use of the public.
AS means and wall space will
permit, it is intended to adorn the
room with high grade reproduce

of the world. New furniture will
be introduced as needed, making
the library an attractive and COM
Portable place for ladies' and gem

membership tickets will be issued

time those desiring to loan or re-
turn books, or having other bust
ness connected with the library
are requested to call at my office
