PLANNED BY ERWIA'S OWN.
Eaton Is Accused of Giving
Away the Wanser Story.

A lively meeting of the Young Mems
Republican Club was held at its rooms on
Gregory street last night. 1t was expected
that John T. Erwin's pet resolution, or
dering that Postmaster Wanser's picture
be thrown out, would be acted upon, but
as that worthy member was not present
the matter did not come up for action.
The members of both factions were in
attendance and they eagerly awaited the
arrival of the late candidate for Sheriff,
but neither he nor the resolution material
ized.
Many warm discussions as to how the
secrets of the club became public
property resulted Erwin's few friends
were hot that their champion had been
shown up by the other members who
attend the meetings. They denounced the
action on the part of the majority led by
William Eaton as ungentlemanly and in
direct violations of the clubs constitu-
ton
This fact however, had but little eff
feet on those who were with Mr.. Wool
ley and were ready to turn down Mr..
Erwin's resolution as soon as it was pre-
sented. They took no notice of their
angry club mates and laughed at the
idea of having Postmaster Wanser's pic
ture torn from the walls and trampled
upon as was done with Governor Foster
Voorhees, picture last fall.
One of the features OF the meeting was
the denunciation of William Eaton, by
two of the leaders of the minority who
are staunch friends of Erwin. The blame
for the publication of the clubs secrets
was allotted to Mr.. Eaton.
Mr. Eaton, who was present, laughed at
his angry opponents. The action on the
Part of Mr.. Eaton only added more fuel
to the fire already burning in the breasts
of the defeated candidates friends. Many
warm epithets were hurled.
After the meeting, at which no import
ant business was transacted, the Execu-
tive Board went into secret session. It
was learned later that a committee had
been appointed to try and learn which
member gave the story Of "Wansers pic
ture' for publication.

Goodbye, Billy, Speech, but Mr.. Speer

horns answered by a scream from the lo-
comotive, Mr.. Speer started on his way to
Dayton and happiness.

flooded portions of Nelson and Lincoln

THE PERPETUAL PROMISE.

All through the lily perfumed air
The bells of Easter chime
With pardon for our sin sick SOULS
The seven and SEVENTEEN time.
Hasten while bells of promise peal'
While surpliced cherubs sing,
Lay on the affairs Of our Lord
Contritions offering.
The rare pale flowers of love, OF falth
o Christ, the crucifled,
Will show twas not in vain for us
A loving Savior died.
If any earthly friend for us
In jeopardy had stood,
All, would we have to plead and peg
For our poor gratitude?
And must the King of Heaven sue
Or suffered he in vain.
Upon sad Calvary's cruel cross,
With all mortal's pain?
Oh, lay sins heavy burden down;
He died that we might live,
He'll bear the cross and send peace
The world can never give!

A paper on the blue fox (vulpes lago-
pus) of the Pribiloff islands, Boring
sea. by Mr.. Lucas. is timely now that
furs are in season. Fox farms or
branches" for breeding the animals ex-
list not only in the Aluetian islands,
hut in islands off the coast of Maine.
The foxes of Pribiloff feed on sea
birds. seal pups, and dead seals, for
which they go out on the ice foes in
spring. "Dead-fall" traps have been
superseded by box traps" which do
not kill the animal, and the blue fe-
mole Is set free. White females, how
ever. are killed in order to produce q
breed which does not blanch in win
ter. Male foxes are spared If the sup
ply is likely to fail, and all foxes lei
loose are marked by clipping a rine
from their tails. 1t is hoped to turn
the blue fox from a monogamus to
polygamous animal in order to in
crease the supply of fur. This fox Il
not crafty or wary of man and is taker
everywhere with bait.

Considerable Importance is attached
70 the distance measuring field glass
invented by Mr.. Zeiss of Jena. 1t is
simply an extension of the natural
power of the eyes to estimate the dis
lance of nearby objects This power
depends upon the fact that the space
between the eyes serves like a base
line in surveying, the lines of sight
converging r3on selected object from
the ends Of the base. In the telemeter
the effective distance between the eyes
is increased by means of prisms, and
double images of the objects looked at
are formed. The distance between the
images varies with the remoteness OF
the objects, and a scale shows what
the real distance is. Up to about two
miles the results are said to be fairly
accurate.

To the Children.

On Easter morning the church doors
are thrown wide open, and within the
air is sweet with the perfume of
thousand flowers. Violets, roses and
lilies Irvine about pillar and railing
and the altar looks like a great, white
blossom. With what joyous tones the
organ rings out. and what a glad thrill
there is in the voices that sing, Christ
Has Risen!" Let us be very glad, too
for there is never any happiness that
comes into our lives that is not there
because of Easter morning. Bend low
and listen intently, and you VIII be
sure to hear messages, in the language
of beauty and perfume, spoken by the
sweet-faced roses of love and lilies Of
peace.

On wings our spirits soar
In earnest words, in hymnal rhyme
In organ peal and belfry chime
We hear the story DER!

Perfection of creations sum,
Grand miracle of martyrdom,
To free us from our pain!
