Caldwell People After
Colonel DeWey's Road.
Daily Statesman, Sept l2ih:-
Colonel Dewey will today com
mence throwing dirt on the north
ern extension Of the Boise, Nampa
g. Owhyec railroad. Since the
building Of the southern extension
he has been paying the Short Line
500 for trackage at Nampa. The
first work viii be to build from the
connection with the O. S. j. down
the main street Of Nampa to the
depot. The town council has given
him use Of the street for that pur-
porsc.
IT is within the range Of posi-
bilitics that the northern extention
will be built from Caldwell. Colo
mel Dewey has two propositions.
Ono is proposal by the Short
Line, Offering terms for use of
the track between Nampa and Cald-
well. The other is from the people
of Caldwell, who offer to grade the
road between Nampa and their
town The people of Caldwell
point out that if the road runs di-
rect from Nampa to the river it
will have to be built down the riv-
or almost to Caldwell before taking
off for Emmett From Caldwell to
Emmett, they say, there is an easy
grade, which has been surveyed.
Besides their plan would, they
point out, give the road consider
able additional business. Colonel
Dewey is still considering the pro-
posal.

There are two sorts Of persons
in this world; those who are ready
to tell us only of our faults and fail
urs, and those who are prompt to
point out the ways in which we
have done well. The first sort
cause us discomfort; the second sort
give us encouragement Both sorts
of persons do good and do harm.
1t is not well for us to feel we are
always making mistakes, nor ought
we to feel that We are always doing
just right-especially when we are
not. Our friends need guidance
and good sense in their comments
on our course, in order to en-
courage where We need encourage
ment, and to warn and caution
where warming and caution are
needed. p Weekly Bouquet,

this town and vicinity surely will
meet his proposition; for it appears
to be very reasonable. Some have

DROPPED DEAD IN PULPIT.

Convention.

Rev. Mr.. Atkinson at the Jubilee
Convention.
The shockingly sudden death oil
MIR. A. Nj. Atkinson, of Wabash,
Ind, OH Satul day night at the bus
mess mems meeting OF the Chris
tian church at Cincinnati, is of
special interest to members of the
denomination insthis city, owing to
the fact that he was well.kpown
here.
Mr. Atkinson visited Richmond
several years ago in the interest of
the Ministerial Relief Fund, In
which he was deeply interested.
He spoke at Seventh Street and
the other churches, He was man
of wealth, and gave largely to its
charities and missions.
Mr.. Atkinsou's death has cast o
gloom over the Jub. lee Conven-
tion. He sat in the front row at
the meeting, and his name was the
last on the list OF speakers. When
he began speaking he seemed in
the best of health. He recounted
his dealings with millionairs, aud
declared that the accumulation of
money was holy if it was spent in
the work of mankind. The busi-
ness man OF today, he said, was so
cngrossed III boarding the dollar
that he forgot the divine injunc
tion which appears upon its sur
face. Mr.. Atkinson spoke with
great eloquence.
Suddenly his voice grew weak,
and he summoned all his energy
and exclaimed
"Quit ye like men; be ye ever
faithfulp
Then he sank in his chair and,
saying, "Be warDedw dropped
from the chair and was dead in a
moment.
Mrs. Atkinson did not know he
was ill until his death Was an
nOunced to her. She is in q serious
condition from the shock.-Rich.

speaker, and his subject was, "The
Downward Road to Destruction" :"
He said that he had been, up TO
eleven months ago, a barkeeper for
fifteen years. He had been en-
plOyed in this capacity in BIrming-
ham, Alabama, Bedford City and
Lynchburg. He had been q bar
ten'ler in this city for eight or ten
years, and in that time he had
watched the downward course of q
number of young men who had
bright prospects in life. but because
of the attractions of the saloon and
the pool table, they had begun to
drink and gamble, which in nearly
every instance led to ruin and often
to death. He called no names, yet
the terrible experiences which he
had seen and been through with,
was deeply impressed upon the
