Indiana Declared Doubtful.

a special from Washington, ID. G,
to The Record, signed by William +.
Curtis, says: Although republican
statesmen who have visited Indiana
are confident that the republicans will
carry that state by large majority, and
democratic visitors are equally GER
tain of democratic success, disinterested
people who have no reason to bolster
up either ticket consider the Hoosier
state very doubtful, with the chances in
favor of the democrats. The reasons
they give are that the gold democrats
who supported Mckinley four years ago
will vote for Bryan this time, with the
exception of few bankers and very
rich men, and that the Quakers will
vote against Mckinley because they do
not like the shooting of the Philippines
and the military invasion of China.
There is said to be considerable discon-
tent among the coal miners, and also
among the unions in the gas district

The Preacher and Politics.

At the ministers meeting Monday
the above topic was opened by Rev.
Raymond. In part he said: "Politics
is temporal, religion is spiritual. The
preacher has neither time nor permits
sion to interest himself actively in the
minor affairs of men. | always vote,
but if any man would have right not
to vote it is the preacher. He can show
no leaning in partisan politics.
Discussion followed. Rev. Mckenzie
said: ave are preachers of the gospel,
but we are American citizens as well,
and therefore have the franchise, hence
are responsible ard must not shirk.
There is such thing as the preacher
out of his pulpit, yet minister must
be discrete in what he says. 1t is not
his business to make political speeches.
Other men can do that. | have no

Rev. Parrett said at is very criti-
cal question. | always vote, but have
always tried to be prudent, considerate
and inoffensive In my political prefer
ment. If all the ministers of the re-
public would let their influence be felt
we would have better political life. |
have preached patriotism, but never
politics"
Rev. Hartman closed the discussion:
"The minister is man of influence; his
influence should be used for the spirit
usl welfare of men. In land where
parties are so equally divided, it Will
not do for either party to claim TO be
all right and the other all wrong
Hence, the Issue cannot be even largely
moral one. If it were, every preacher
would be in duty bound to herald the
side of right, in the pulpit and out of it. ,

THE "GENTLEMAN CORPORAL
And Mr.. Bowser went.

Copyright, 1900, by c. B. Lewfs.)
They were going to make a ride to
the foothills and back-Captain Cline
and the colonel's daughter. That
meant gallop of thirty miles. 1t was
straight away down the stage road for
ten miles, then across scrub and plain
for five more tn hit the natural curios-
ity called the DEVILS basin. The col
onel's daughter had arrived at the
frontier post two weeks before, and
ever since her coming the sun had
lain so warm on the distant hillsides
and she had heard such tales of dark
canyons, mighty caves and mysterious
! waterfalls that she had been longing
for closer view.
Not an Indian has been this side
of the range for four MONTHS said
the captain as he talked over the pro-
posed ride with the colonel "and the
trip is perfectly safe. l will detail an
escort from my own company, but it
will be only for appearance sake"
Yes, it will be safe, and May will
enjoy the gallop," said the colonel, and
no more was said about it.
At sunrise all were ready to set forth.
AS the girl stood on the veranda wait
ing for her horse six of the men of A
troop came riding up under command
of Corporal Haynes. They halted thir-
ty feet away, and as she looked them
over she gave start of surprise and
flush overspread her face. Next mo-
ment her cheeks went white, and she
gasped as if choked for breath. The
corporal's hand slowly lifted, and his
head was uncovered for an instant, and
Private Harkins whispered to Private
O'Brien:
and did you see that, Jim? BY
smoke, but if our corporal and the
colonels daughter haven't met before
than l don't know a jack rabbit from
long drink of whisky"
But how can it be?" asked OBrien.
How can the grass grow, We thick
