vlction, born Of a regard for only Gods
judgment, John Huss In 1874 at the
council which condemned him to the
stake was fearless In his appeals to the
Most Righteous Judge. When these ap-
peals were called errors and were re-
ceived with derision and laughter he
turned to his judges and exclaimed, L
have maintained, and still maintain,
that there Is no surer and no safer APP
peal than to Jesus Christ for He can
not be bent with bribery, deceived by
false witnesses or surprised by tricks
such a dependence upon Gods wis
dom and justice can overlook mans
spite and can even forgive his fiercest
hatred With Gods approval, a Huss
can endure even the flames. Beyond
their cruel tongues, he may see the
coming of the Lord. when He shalt
make manifest the councils of the heart
and shall give to each man the reward
he deserves. There may be persecu-
tions now and many misunderstand-
ings, but we rest in His favor.
And in the day when God shall Judge
the secrets of men, there shall be a
well done for the servant who has
thought only of the Masters interests.
All along the way that servant has
tested himself by asking, What does
Jesus think of me?' What is the Lord s
judgment of my life?' For him the
| final day of judgment will simply be
the day when the Great Judge shall
| manifest what has been confirmed in
| his heart by the repeated experiences
of life. What shall the judgment Of
| the Lord be then? What is His judg-
ment now? What shall He think of me
| then? What does lie think Of me
| now?"

MEETING OF PRISON BOARD
No Work to Be Done at Present on
Abingdon Turnpike-o Only Per-
manent improvements.

Nothing will be done, at least for
the present. in the way of using the
county Jail prisoners in repairing
the portion of the Abingdon turnpike
within the city limits. Such was the
decision of the prison board at Sat
urdaY's meeting.
Judge Archibald, who went over the
road Friday with President II. e.
Paine, of the turnpike company, gave
it as his opinion that it would be in
eXpedient to do any work on the road
until the grade is bettcred. Anything
done now would merely be patchwork,
and he favored making only perma-
nent improvements. The board con-
CURED in his views. 1t is probable, the
board believed, that IN view of the
opportunity of having the roadway inn
proved free of expense, that the city
will take steps to rcgrade the street.
Supervisor Dunning reported that
City Engineer Phillips had staked out
q new road along the side Of the West
mountain, which will reduce the grade
to seven per cent. 1t is now about
eleven per cent. He also made an in
tcresting report on the work as far
as II has progressed.
County Commissioner Morris report
ed that the Delaware and Hudson
company had made settlements with
all the prisoners injured in the Pop
lar street crossing accident except one,
a man named Finnegan, who refuses
to compromise. Warden Simpson told
the board that the injured prisoners
We're the envy of all their fellows. One
Of them, who got 800, stated to War
den Simpson that he proposed to buy
a horse and wagon and become a
huckster when his term expired.
Warden Simpson also reported that
the prisoners are becoming proficient
in carpet weaving. Two looms turned
out an average of ten yards a day last
week. A third loom is to be set up
this week. AS an incentive to eXer-
| tion, it was decided TO increase the
| quality of the food of the prisoners
| who do good work and allow a bonus
| Of enc cent a yard for each yard in
| excess of seven that q prisoner may
weave in {. day. Many charitably in
! cliued ladies, Warden Simpson says,
are evincing an interest in the work
| and assure a ready sale of all carpet
woven. Commissioner Penman was
appointed a committee to ascertain
the price of carpet charged by weav-
ers throughout the county. The price
4 OF Irisoumade material will be regu-
lated accordingly. The hoard does not
propose to have the product of the
prison looms brought into unfair COM
petition with the work Of the weavers
OF the county.
The county commissioners expressed
the intention of using the prisoners
to Ak mp the court house lawn after
the monument is completed. Exten'
sive improvements are to be made.

LIONS FOR NAY AUG PARK.
Two Were Purchased Saturday from
Bostock.

Two young lions were purchased
Saturday from Bostock's menagerie
for Nay Aug park by Park Commits
sioner Bedford and Charles II. Schadt,
on behalf of a committee of citizens,
5000 being paid. In lieu of a better
cage crow bars were placed in one of
Mr.. Schadt's ice wagons and Leo and
his sister were taken to the park in
1t. The Scranton Railway company
contributed $40 to the sum raised for
their purchase and $50 was given by
the Connell Park and Speedway Rail-
way company. A rumor spread late
Saturday night that one of the animals
was dead. This was false, but an
other lion was killed.
He was 1-year-old and was put in
the cage with the lioness who recently
gave birth to the little cubs on exhibit
ton. She happened to be in an irate
mood and suddenly leaping on the
young animal killed him by striking
him a terrible blow.

NOTES ABOUT MONTPELIER.

MOnGpellef expects within Il year to
have a complete water works and electric
light system in operation. Steps to that
+ end are now being taken
Montpelier is one Of the heaviest Ship
ping points on the Short Line. Besides
the business furnished by the city, it is
the shipping and freighting point for all
of Bear Lake, Thomas Fork and Star val
leys besides the surrounding country.
There seems to be an opening in this
city for WOODEN factory, creamery, com
mission and forwarding house, wool scour-
ing plant, and various other Industries.
Montpelier is about as healthy commune
ity us will be found anywhere. The ele-
walton, 5000 feet insures the people
healthy atmosphere, and with system
Of water works, the purest Of mountain
water The latter is now taken from
wells and is as good Us usually comes
from that source.
The streets Of this city are paved with
gravel, found close by. which is admir-
ably suited to the purpose. The work
will be extended each year until all the
streets will be as if paved
A good sprinkling system keeps the
dust laid and otherwise adds to the con-
venience of the people.
Every lot III Montpelier carries a per-
petual water right, and during the sum
mer, pure mountain water runs along the
streets in bitches.
This city ought to be an ideal place for
small meat packing plant. It was tried
some years ago before the great coal
camps east Of us were opened, but did not
prove success. Conducted along differ
ent lines it ought to prove a paying ven
ture. Nearly all of the hams, bacon. lard
and kindred products, used in Southern
Idaho and Western Wyoming, are ship
ped from eastern cities, and the amount
consumed is enormous Therefore it
would seem that d splendid opening was
offered here for such a plant.

FOREST RESERVES
TWO Views From Prominent New
Mexico Papers.

New Mexico has about all the forest
reserves it can stand. Even though a
forest reserve were made of the whole
territory it would not change noun
tain torrents into majestic rivers nor
make steady streams out Of srroyos
that at present are dry 1854 days year
out OF 365 days. If the money so far
spent on forest reserves aud still being
spent were expended for storage re-
servoirs the territory might have for
ests of orchards instead of forests OF
aspens, but why should that be consid-
cred calamity?-New Mexican.
The above is little piece of man u
featured public opinion for the bene fit
of a lumber company who do not want
to see a forest reserve established
down in the mountainous sections of
Lincoln and Otero counties, so that it
can havefull sway at the big forests
down there. which constitute the only
protection for what little water supply
there is In that section.
IT the forests are allowed to be de-
stroved, will the New Mexican please
inform the public where the water is
going to come from to fill the storage
reservoirs it PIRATES about?
What should be done is for the gov
eminent to protect the forests and thus
insure water supply and as we'll put
arid lands, and there is enough arid
land in the territory seventy times over
for all the water that can be obtained
for their redemption into "forests OF
orchard" But perhaps the New Mex
lean was referring to the establish
ment of storage reservoirs for ozone.
1t is generally understood that mu-
tually beneficial understanding" ex-
lists between the New Mexican anu 9

as parties of the first part and certain
big lumber company of the territory
as party of the second part. Hence

THE San Antonio ser timent in favor
of municipal ownership has resulted in
a proposition from the water works
company to the city to meet a com.
mittee to arrange terms.for the acq uisi-
ton of the water works plant for the
city. This proposition comes from the
company at the suggestion of Alder
man w. L. Barker. The company
proposes to require payment of $3.50.
600 of its bonded debt annually, and
transfer that amount of it's stock an
nually to the credit of the city, and at
the end of twenty-five years turn over
to the city, free of all debt, the entire
plant. The sentiment in favor Of
municipal ownership while not yet
strong in Texas is growing.
