Stage Driver Wyant VIII be Laid Up

The many friends of Henry Wyant,
the well known and poular driver of the
stage from Seymour to this city, will
be sorry to hear that he is still Ill as the
result of an accident which happened to
him last Tuesday, as has been mention
ed, which has necessitated his with
drawal from duty for the present. On
the day mentioned he accidentally
pricked his finger on a nail, but as the
wound was small one he paid but lit
tie attention to It, The nail must have
been rusty or something Of the sort, for
shortly afterwards blood poisoning set
In and the hand swelled alarmingly, the
swelling extending up the arm. The in
jury is a painful one and sufficiently
dangerous to cause alarm.
Mr.. Wyant has been steadily under a
doctors care and everything possible Is
being done to check the swelling and
extract the poison. He will be missed
from his route for some time to come.

A GAME FIGHTER.
Senator Stewart Tells of Jack Watson's

Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada
to a party Of interested listeners
"Watson had been member Of Jack
Hayes's famous company, and though
he didn't weight over 100 pounds and in
height measured but feet 6 inches he
would fight at the drop of hat the
biggest man that ever breathed. I don't
know what State gave him birth, but
he was a native of the South, and all

The little chap didn't provoke difficult

fighting for it's own sake, and odds
didn't figure with him once he conclud-

was shooting, and deadlier shot never

81 shall never forget the first time
that Jack watson and I met, for the
circumstances were of the sort that
burns itself upon a mans memory. I
was riding into a mining camp in Ne
vada county, and stopped at a watering
trough to let my beast drink. About
the same time a stranger of very d.
rinutive stature rode up, and While our
animals refreshed themselves we en-
gagged in some casual conversation. The
stranger was Watson. Before we ex-
changed half dozen sentences our at
tention was attracted by a great noise,
and looking around we saw at least 200
men coming our way with a prisoner.
The prisoner was a remarkably fine
looking man, but his captors had strip

intention was to fog him.
Before l could hardly realize what
was happening, Watson spoke up: Dare

A TRANSACTION IN R1rJ,s

A gaping throng damned the room
of the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Thirty one-thousand-
dollar bills, crinkly and crisp, had been
flung on the table In front of Senator
Chandler, the chairman of the com
mittee, as evidence of Montana probity
on one hand and Montana corruption
on the other. Senator Clark gazed in
Inherently at the money. Ex-senator
Edmunds, the leading counsel against
Senator Clark, viewed the bills intentIy,
and then looked sternly for a moment
at Senator Julius Caesar Durrows, of
Michigan, one of Clarks Jurors Tt was
alleged that this amount of cash had
been accepted by a member of the leg
lslature at Helena in return for his
promise to vote for Clark, and that he
mad turned 1t over to the opposition
In the belief that it would damage the
senator. Judge Edmonds gazed longer
at Senator Burrows than Senator Clark
did u the money. HE look was one of
such Intensity as to arouse the curiosity
or the crowd. While still having his
gaze fixed upon Senator Burrows. Judge
Edmunds slowly pulled from his vest
pocket roll of bills. He shipped off
one of these and passed it over to Bur-
rows. The Wolverine Statesman ac-
cepted it with apparent amazement
Then smile stole over his face. and
he huriedly wrote receipt, which he
handed to Judge Edmunds The receipt
read something like this: Received in
full payment of account from George
F. Edmunds S."
Naturally much curiosity was aroused
as to the cause of this financial trans
action. 1t was learned that a few DAYS
before Judge Edmunds had gone into an
old bookstore with Senator Burrows,
and after buying a volume of forgotten
lore discovered that he had no money
and borrowed IS from the Michigan
man. 1t requires no psychologist to
the processes that were
started in Judge Edmunds's mind at the
sight of the Montana money.-Washing-
ton Letter to New York Tribune.

MOODY AND MARTINEAU
THE TWO DISCUSSED BYREV. W. n.
DICKERMAN.
Similarity In the Lives of Two Great
Men-Both Imbued with the Highest
Sense of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rian
In Their Teachings.

At the Church of the Messiah yester-
day morning the pastor, Rev. w. L.
Dickerman delivered very interesting
discourse on Dwight l.. Moody and
James L. Martineau." He spoke in
part as follows:
How different We're the inolds in
which these two men we are compar-
ing were cast They arrived at the same
spiritual conclusion by different modes
of logic, but in real practical righteous
ness they were practically one. Very
early in life Moody left home and went
to work in a store in Boston. He was
an impressionable young man, and
deeply religious in his makeup, which
accounts probably for his coming, while
yet young, under the influence of a
band of evangelists and thus entering
evangelistic fields He was the last in
the line Of great revivalists, undoubt-
edly although his methods were very
much different from those of the old
evangelists. Moody never approached
town in which he was to conduct
evangelfstic services, unless everything
had been prepared for his coming
the ministers, the Sunday schools, the
choirs, all had to be in readiness. This
methodical manner Of insisting upon
thorough arrangement was undoubtedly
responsible for a large measure of the
success which Moody achieved.
"Moody's meetings were always
noticeable for their enthusiasm, but
they were noticeable as much for the
absence of that fanaticism which mark
ed other meetings of the same sort.
This was mainly due to the calmness
and forcefulness of Moody's preaching
His discourse was notable at all times
for the absence of fine theological dis
tinotions, and for it's simplicity. 1t was
ever free from threats and from the |
course phrases of other evangelists
MIR. Martineau was man of strong
contrast to Mr.. Moody. He was man
of great Industrial habits, who wrote |
and talked constantly. He was acute |
ness itself in his attacks upon the enc
mics of Christianity and one of the |
strongest defenders of the Christian |
cause. Moody and Martineau seemed to |
have been reared upon a common |
plane; both were imbued with the high
est sense of Christianity. Martineau |
was ever thoroughly alert to the great |
questions of the day and perhaps no
man ever did more to combat the ma
terialistic agnosticism of his day. 1t
is thought, indeed, by many that he
practically saved England from intel
lectual chaos during that period when
men of agnostic views were coming to
the front He was never in favor of
any sort of sectarian movement, for he
felt that the church should be entirely
above any division, and he therefore
steadfastly refused to attach himself to
any sect. Here also Moody and Marti-
neau bore a striking resemblance to
each other. Moody, although a Con-
gregatonalist, was so free in his teach
ings that people,, unless they knew,
We're always at a loss to know to what
sect he belonged"
