love of God for man beyond our power
of comprehension, 1t is not strange that
there We're those who were astonished
and exclaimed How can this man give
us His flesh to eat?' But the divine
Savior, wishing to convince them of His
purpose to DO this greatest of miracles,
said, Except you eat the flesh of the
son of man and drink His blood you
shall not have life-in you Men are
ever disposed to view divine acts CT
mercy with ingratitude and this re-
Spouse of our Savior was received with
the cold objection, This is a hard say
ing; who can believe it?' Our Lord,
knowing the falsity and conceit of their
hearts. said, The flesh, that is to say,
your human judgment, profiteth moth
ing; the spirit, that is to say, the word
of revelation. giveth life His carnal
minded hearers went away and walked
no more with Him. Not so His faithful
apostles, Peter and John, who said,
when our Lord asked them, Will you
also go away? To whom shall we go?
Thou hast the words of eternal life
Like the faithful apostles who be-
lieved what the Lord said, His faithful
children of the Catholic church have
ever adhered to His teaching that He
gives them His body and blood in the
great memorial sacrament of the Eu-
charist, for they know that He who
deceive them. = r4
I'm view of this great promise that
Christ made to His disciples it is no
wonder that He performed the solemn
act of consecrating bread and wine into
His body and blood and impaired to His
apostles the power to do this to the end
of time"
The father then went on to show that
the holy Eucharist is both a sacrament
and sacrifice The fact that Christ
partook of 1T and gave it to His dis
ciples shows it's sacramento character.
and the fact that He commanded that
the act should be performed as mem
oral of His death on the cross shows
it's sacrf1cial character. In the old law,
the sacrifices in the temple prefgured
the one sacrifice of Calvary, and the
commemoration of the sacrifice of Cal
| vary must have a greater significance
and efficacy than any of the acts Of
| worship which prefigured it. In the
| sacrifice Of the mass we see fulfilled the
prophecy of Malachias. For from the
| rising of the sun even to the going
down my name is great among the
! gentiles and In every place there is sac
rifice and there is offered to my name

He HAD ANOTHER REMEDY
Writ of Habeas Corpus for DR..
Hanson Was Denied.
A NICE QUESTION RAISED
Judge Clancy Declined to Interfere
With the Process OF the Missoula
Court-Proceedings Instituted
in Behalf of ]. W. Lacey.

DR.. H. H. Hanson was arrested yes
terday by Sheriff Curran Of Missoula
county on an attachment issued by the
court of that county for refusing to
obey a subpoena served on him as
witness in a civil case. Hanson, by his
attorney, w. M. Bedford brought ha-
beas corpus proceedings before Judge
Clancy and tried to avoid going to Mis-
soula with the sheriff, but Judge Clancy
declined to interfere with the process
of the Missoula court and DR.. Hanson
and Sheriff Curran left for that place
last night.
Several interesting questions were
raised at the habeas corpus hearing
yesterday, including a constitutional
question, which Judge Clancy declined
to pass on.
In his petition, DR.. Hanson related
that he was unlawfully restrained OF
his liberty by Sheriff Curran; that the
petitioner is a doctor of medicine in
good standing and is practicing his pro-
fesSion in the city of Butte and has on
his hands and is attending a patient
who is in dangerous condition and re-
qures the immediate and constant at
tenton of the petitioner in order that
her life may be saved. The petitioner
was served with a subpoena issued out
of the district court in Missoula coun-
ty, commanding him to appear before
| that court and testify in civil action
wherein Emily Strong and others are
| plaintiffs and J. j. Buckley defendant.
| The petitioner was subpoenaed by re-
ceiving subpoena through the United
| States mails. and with it was enclosed
a check for $40, which was returned to
| the person who had sent it, Suisse
| quently he was again served personally
and another tender of $40 was made and
the petitioner informed the person
serving the subpoena that he could not
attend court and gave his reasons
therefor. Yesterday Sheriff Curran
took the petitioner into custody under
an attachment issued by the court at
Missoula Mr.. Bickford, in presenting
the matter to the court, read section
1904 of the civil code, which provides
that "a witness is not obliged to attend
| as witness before any court, judge or
| justice or any other officer out of the
county in which he resides, unless the
distance be less than 80 miles from
his place Of residence to the place of
trial"
Mr.. Bickford said the distance to
Missoula was 126 miles and the mileage
there and back was 252 miles, or $25.20
must be advanced under the law. He
argued that the tender of $40 was there
fore not a legal tender.
County Attorney Connolly who ap.
peared for Sheriff CurTan, said the ex.
cuse set up by Dr. Hanson was MOI
sufficient, for if business reasons were
sufficient any man could evade the

AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS
By Father Superior Wyman at
st. Patrick's.
ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST
Jesus Christ, the Greatest Friend OF
Mankind-Hs Words OF Promise
Concerning the Solemn Act
of Institution.

Taking the blasphemous weather into
account and the million and one aggra-
waiting cases of bad colds that are try
ing mems souls in this city, the con-
gregations that nightly hear the lee
lures of the Paulist fathers are very
large indeed. These lectures are inter-
esting and inspiring, being the prod
ucts of deep thought and study of the
sacred scripture. Last night st. Pat
Superior Wyman spoke earnestly on the
subject, 1.-THE Holy Eucharist" taking
his text from the 10th Psalm, 4th
verse: He has made remembrance of
His wonderful works, being merciful
and gracious Lord, He hath given food
to them that fear Him.
Nothing is so sacred to US said the
father las the last and dying act of a
dear friend. Jesus Christ is the great
est friend of mankind. God so loved
the world as to give His only begotten
son, that whatsoever believeth in Him
| should not perish but have everlasting
| life. Greater love hath no man than he
who gives his life for his friends. We
believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal

was His greatest act here upon earth.
| Can it be that this act which He per-
| formed on the day before He suffered
and died and commanded should be
! repeated for all time by His chosen
| apostles has not been and is not to-day
fully understood by. His church? We
might almost as well suppose the sig
niticance of the redemption wrought by
| Him on the cross is unknown as to sup
pose that the memorial of it which He

IN THE TERRIFIC HEAT
"A Description of the Advance
Upon Calumpit.
DOING SKIRM|SH WORK
The Montana Troops Are Now Armed
With Krag-Jorgensons - An In
teresting Letter From
Harry Paxson.

Among the letters from the Butte
terday was one from Harry Paxson of
G company to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. S. Paxson. The letter is dated at
Malolos, April 10, and in the course
of it he says:
1--WE had just come out on the firing
line Con the third of ApriD, being re-
lieved as provost guard by the Sd
artillery. Early the next day we were
ordered out as a scouting party, and
guess you have heard how it came
out. We left here in the cool of the
morning and made a march of five
miles through a wild tropical jungle to
the town of Calumpit. We consisted of
the LIST Montana, two pieces of artil-
lery, one troop of cavalry, one Colts
automatic gun and a hospital corps.
1t was our purpose to locate the en-
envy, and find out how strong they
were, also to take the town if we could
without losing any men. We formed
a line of skirmishers along a road and
burst through the brush into the open.
We had hardly begun to advance be-
fore a cracking fire Of Mausers raked
Through the bamboo trees. One cut
through just above my head and the
captains shoulder. AS we came out
into the open field the fire began to
grow hotter. They were strongly en-
trenched on the opposite side of
river 100 yards away. We could not
reach them with our rifles, so we had
to advance through their fire over the
hot and newly ploughed field. We did
not mind the bullets, but the heat was
terrific We were ordered to halt and
lie down, and we laid there for one
hour exposed to the awful rays of the
sun and the enemy's Are. The earth
was hot as ashes and the perspiration
ran from our bodies in little streams.
After a while the sweat ceased to flow
and then we did suffer-sick on our
stomachs, heads dizzy and bodies weak.
Men began to drop out and stagger off
over the field, fully exposed to the
sharpshooters of the enemy 500 yards
to the shade of the trees. I, too, had
to leave. Little did I care for any lead
the niggers might plug at me. All l
wanted was to reach those shade trees.
After hard struggle over the rough
ground I reached the trees all eX-
hausted. One man was killed and two
wounded, one of the latter being Boast
of G company, and IS men were sun
struck, IL Of whom came from G COM
pany. We returned to camp all played
out. Many of the men are still sick.
Boast was shot in the knee, and If he
does not lose his leg it is sure to be
stiff. We are provided with Krag-

In it's last crop report, issued Tues
day, the Northern Pacific makes the
| following observations on conditions in
Montana:
1.-THE snow is practically all off the
foothills in the Upper Gallatin valley.
Farmers are busly engaged blowing
and seeding, the work being pushed
vigorously in anticipation of the usual
spring rains. Vegetation has been
checked somewhat and seeding re-
tarded by the cold winds. Acreage Of
wheat, oats and barley will probably
show a slight increase over last year.
Some of the seed was blown out of the
ground. Bitter Root valley prospects
are good. Grain that is up looks well.
Most of the seeding is finished. Warm
er weather with rains would aid the
crops. Acreage about the same as last
| year, with more oats and less wheat
