A Review of Pastor Luck's Work
Here.
SPEAKS WELL FOR VEISER.
What He Had to Say In His Farewell
Address at Congregation

The following is an extract taken
from Rev. Charles w. Luck's fare

church recently 1t is an excellent
showing, and Mr. Luck goes away
with the assurance that his labors
have been productive of good In our
midst. 1t is a record he may we'll
feel proud of, and, too, it is good
showing for this community:
ga review of my pastorate of two
years and eight months may not be
uninteresting or Improbable. Dur
Ing that time the church has grown
from 80 to 121 members, net gain
of Al. 30 have joined by letter and
% on confession of faith, making 81
new members. have died, 4 have
been dismissed by letter, and 2 have
been dropped from the roll In all
eleven have gone out from us. We
now have "a absent and 81 resident
members. Several of the absent
members will probably soon take
letters of dismission. To keep their
names on our roll is useless for us
and to withhold from the churches
where they live their active co-opera-
ton, is Improbable for them. There
are five whose names ought to be
dropped from our roll. We have
patiently held on to them, hoping
and praying that they might return
to their first love and recover them
selves out of the snares into which
they have fallen.
During my pastorate, have bap-
tized 13 adults and children and
have attended 28 funerals and IL
weddings.
sThe benevolences of the church
show that we are not Strengthened in
our hearts In 1898, we gave $77
to help others. Most of this was
raised by entertainments. For the
next year, we adopted a plan of sys-
tematic benevolence which gave
each one the opportunity to contrib
ute directly to each of our great de-
nominatiQnal enterprises and to some
local charities The result justlfles

out of our own pockets $144. CO..

parsonage and have labored under
the extra and unexpected burden

Society. Our gifts have consequently

Shoup Talked of to Succeed Mr.. Meik
leiOhn.

A Washington special to the Salt
Lake Tribune, says: 1t seems to be
regarded as something of a foregone
conclusion that George Meiklejohn
of Nebraska will be elected to the
senate from Nebraska. Mr.. Melkle-
Johns retirement from the war de-
partment will leave vacancy, and
Senator Shoup's friends here seem
determined to make him take that
place after he retires from the United
States senate next March. So far as
known the senator's wishes have not
yet been ascertained, but there is no
doubt that should he be willing to
accept the place, he will have be-
hind him such formidable pressure
that the president can scarcely refuse
to give it to him, provided, of course
that Melklejohn leaves the depart
ment.

The Bazaar Open.

The Catholic Bazaar opened in the
new Barton building on Commercial
street Tuesday evening with a
supper, an address and music, and it
is grand affair. The opening pro-
gram was especially interesting, and
the event was enjoyed by very
large number of people.
The address by Rev. Father G.
Van der Donckt of Pocatello, was
an excellent one in every way, the
music by Mrs. King of Colorado,
and Miss Grace Brooks of Weiser,
was very good, and everything passed
off very pleasantly.
The bazaar is complete success
in every way, many fine articles for
sale and prizes having been received
from other cities, among which is q
gold headed cane and handsome
toilet case.
The bazaar will continue the rest
of the week, and will no doubt prove
a great success throughout. Buy
your Christmas presents at the
bazaar.

The Illinois ants claim to speak for true
womanhood." just as their suffrage sisters
have been doing for 10 these many Yeas.
and, like them, assert in substance that
the morality. the purity. the fineness of
sensibility and pretty much all the rest
of the higher virtues of the race belong
to woman in a far greater degree than
they do to man. Woman's mission. it is
asserted, is that of holding high ideals up
to man, etc, etc. These words have
familiar sound, so much of a one, indeed,
that they are t-ife wearisome. Would 1t
not be as we'll for women to insist less
upon their own transcendent virtues? If
men will not do it for them it would do
no harm for the subject to rest awhile.

upon the record of their merits that it

The New York state Senate has decided
not to consider woman suffrage legisla-
ton this session, which is a wise decision
in view of the fact that it never has con-
sdered ii with any seriousness, and simply
wastes its time in dallying with the sub
ject. For. though one body or other of
the New York Legislature has, IL the Jour-
nal is not mistaken, voted in favor of
equal suffrage on several occasions, care is
taken that this is not done when there
is any probability of the other house hav-
ing a majority the same way. What Is
true of New York is true of the legisla-
lures in number of other States. 1t is
unlikely. however. that the waste of time
is taken into consideration in ruling the
subject out at this time. II is more prob
able that the warlike attitude of the suff-
ragists and anti-suffragists toward each
other has led to TINS action. There has been
an active and aggressive anti-suffrage or
ganization in New York for some time and
IL is natural that the lawmakers should
prefer to let the women have their fight
outside Of legislative halls. Now that an
anti-suffrage society has been formed In
Illinois also and a challenge flung to the
more progressive sisterhood. similar ac-
ton on the part Of the Illinois Legisla-
ture may be looked for. There is. by the

A GREAT WORK.

The underground railroad about to be
begun in New York will be the first work
of the kind constructed in this country,
and the second in the world. The only
other one being under the city of London.
OF tunnels there are many both in Europe
and the United States. but these are only
parts of surface railroads. The greatest en-
cheering work in that line in this coun-
try falls considerably behind those of Eu-
rope. the Hoosac tunnel in Massachusetts,
the longest in the United States. being Az
miles long. while Mont Cents tunnel
which connects the railways of France
and Italy. is ~ miles long, and the St
Gothard tunnel. between Switzerland and
Italy, is 9h miles in length. There are
probably more short tunnels in the United
States than in Europe. but none as long
as the great ones above named The I'M
foreground railroad of London. begun in
1850 and opened in 1863. was the first of The
kind in the world and has continued TO be
the only one. the whole system being far
below the streets. and passengers going
stations underneath the carriage way. The
London system has been greatly extended
in recent Years. and there are now two
systems with a total length of nearly fifty
miles and four tracks a considerable part
of the way. The mileage OF the New York
system as now projected and contracted
for will not be nearly as great as this,
though IL will doubtless be increased In
future years. The work will. of course,
be enormously expensive. but is expected
to yield handsome dividends. as any form
of rapid transit in New York must. The
motive power to be employed has not yet
been decided upon. Electricity and com

1t is reported that some of those per-
sons who have been unable to initiate the
prices of speculative stocks since the furry
of Dec. Is in New York are of opinion
that 1900 will not be so good year as
was 1899. 1t may not be for them. Many
hope it will not be. But there is no indi-
cation of revulsion in the reports from the
general business of the country. The Bank
of England on Thursday further reduced
its rate of discount to Az per cent, and
money is flowing into all the financial CEN
tiers. The Chicago & Northwestern Rail-

the attacking army. even If IL was largely
superior in numbers. but now the rapid-fire
and long range weapons, whether rifles or
cannon. have added immensely TO the diff
ficulties OF the attacking force. These
arms have come into use since any great
war between troops of discipline and cour-
age. IL 1t were almost impossible for an
assault to be successful in the face of

1000 yards. and cannon which could not

view OF the matter. long time may ex-
pire before the British can force the Beers
to retire. When accomplished 1t must be
by strategy rather than by an assault in
front. There are conditions superior to
