This easy-going g ood-natured-looking dignitary, suit ably clothed in the garb of officialdom and armed with his primitive and com ical-looking cudgel, moves about, al- ternately clapping his -gloved hands and swinging his cudgel, with an air of dormant authority and inde- pendence becoming the typical pos eessor of an ancient civic sinecure. While the rest of the world around him is going ahead and apace "Mr Cop glides along dreamily gazing and as uncorncernedly as if nothing had hap pened-right or wrong affected him. At one moment he is to be seen leaning 1eisurely against a wall, at another supporting a lamp-post or resting idly on letter box or hydrant. Occasion ally he saunters to the scene of a ssscraps or an accident Most of his time is spent in chatting with passing friends. colleagues and confederates, and when not engaged in serious con versation he is relishing a humorous joke or story retailed to him.

Thanksgiving Day

1t has not been the good for
tune of the farmers in Custer
county to have so large a crop
and as favorable prices for their
grain and stock for several
seasons as this year of 1902.
The persons engaged in the
various lines of trade have en-
joyed a liberal share of pros
perity. The professional man
has not been without fair share
of business in his line.
The spirit of gratitude has
occasion to swell high in the
breast of all who are capable OF
appreciation. Even those whose
business may not have prospered
as we'll as he would have has
reason to rejoice because of the
high piles of corn that can be
seen at nearly every farm house.
The number of cattle and hogs
being feed by the farmers OF
Custer county is unusually large.
The farmer as a rule has enough
grain to feed his own stock,
while number have purchased
cattle from the ranches so as tc
feed up the surplus.

Damage by Recent Forest Fires.

The Bureau of Forestry has
received a report from one Of its
agents which shows that the
damage caused by forest fires in
northwestern Oregon and south
western Washington during Sep
TENDER was much greater thau
has been generally supposed.
After careful trip through the
regions devastated by the fires,
Mr.. William II. Cox, who was
detailed by the Bureau for this
work, in a conservative estimate,
places the damage in Oregon and
Washington at Sl2, 767, 100. OF
this, SS,910,000 is in Oregon, and
SO, S57, 100 in Washington. This
includes all losses caused by the
fires to farm property, sawmills,
manufactured lumber, standing
timber, etc. This estimate is
based on personal observation in
the burned districts, both in
Oregon and Washington, confer
ence with lumbermen, farmers,
and settlers, and other trust
worthy sources of information.
Owing to its nearness to market,
however, much of the damaged
timber in the burned regions OF
Oregon will be saved, and the
net loss will be smaller than the
foregoing figures. In Washing
ton a portion will also be saved
though smaller percentage ow'
ing to its being less accessible tc
means of transportation.
Much of the area burned ovel
was covered with virgin forest
mainly of Douglas Spruce, Cedar
and Hemlock. Besides the grea'
loss of property, Is persons were

laA-@-A-AN
TO heal. It was the question of
Christs divinity that was at stake
with men and he worked miracles
through his apostles that the
evidence might be complete.
God used similar means before
Christ to convince Isrealites that
he was the God of the universe
and of their fathers. There were
imposters in olden times. God
permitted the astrologers in
Pharoah's time to copy afterMoses
and Aaron, but it only hardened
Pharoah's heart and made the
Egyptians more determined not to
let the children of Isreal go.
The fire in the burning bush
when the bush was not burned,
was not the suggestion of man,
nor was it within the power of
man as it would have been the
violation of one of Gods "im-
mutable" laws A law not
changeable by man. But it was
not beyond the power of him who
had created the law that produced
the bush and the fire. The three
Hebrew children that passed
through the frey furnace had no
power over the fire, but He who
created them had power to pre-
serve them, 1t was not a power
inherent or acquired no more
than was the closing of the
mouths of the lions when Daniel
was cast into their dens. The
preservation of the Hebrew
children was the suspension of
the law of nature BIZ God for a
specific purpose.
The accusation of Mr.. Jenn-
ing'S that Christ was a claw
breaker" when he did not apply
medicinal remedies in healing the
sick, if the medicinal remedies
are ordained of God is little short
of blaspheny. It is a conclusion
far fetched to say the least. Nc
law of nature is inmutable with
God, nor would he be a law breaker
in the sense implied should it
suit his divine purpose to suspend
any of those laws temporarily or
permanently. The decree of God
when he said "the day We eat
thereof you shall surely die" is
immutable. So is the decree,
I'm Christ shall all men be made
alive" whatsoever will may
come" Should God change
those DEGREES he would com.
promise himself. Any law OF
nature he may suspend; but mar
can not and when he claims thai
power he is making himself
equal with God. The Bible
does not teach that sin ant

killed and many more injured,
Much of the large and small
game in these regions was de-
stroyed.
In his report the agent of the
Bureau of Forestry included not
only the loss of life and property,
but also the causes of the fires,
the methods used in fighting
them, the damage to the soil,
and the outlook for reproduction
of the forests. The burned dis
tr cts were also mapped.

sickness are synonymous nor does
it teach by word or inference
that man can heal the sick with
ont employing the natural rene
dies. Parties who go about the
country making it their bust
ness, pretending to have the
power to heal without the appli-
cation of medicinal remedies, may
be honest, but if they are, they
are not only deceiving those who
rely upon them but they are de-
ceiving themselves.
There have been cases where
one imagines himself dis
eased that the theory of sugges-
ton has reached and helped. No
doubt the woman at Lincoln, of
whom Mr.. Jennings writes, that
poured hot water OH her hand is
a case In point. She thought
she was scalded and applied to
some Christian Science advocate
for relief. AS the burned place
did not blister it is evident she
was not badly scalded, but as
She thought she was, the result
Of the Christian Science remedy
was sufficient and she gave the
credit for something that in real
ity did not exist. The same,
doubtless, is true of the woman
that supposed she had cancer.
The trouble was with her mag
nation.
Had they the Christ power as
they claim, why do they not raise
the dead or open the eyes of the
blind or straighten the deformed
ankles or spines. The power of
Christ was unlimited. But when
Simon sought to use the power
to make money as some are doing
today, they find that their power
is limited, and in the judgement,
if they do not discover their err
ror before will here Peters de-
nunciation: "Thy money perish
with thee; because thou hast
thought that the gift of God
may be purchased with money"
Acts 9:20.
Mr.. Jennings says that "who
understands the immutabla law
of life and health will again
prove that no diseases are incur
able"
That is strong presumption
in the face of the fact that the
great Christian Science apostle,
Mrs. Eddy has but recently

-
In the clearer after-light, fol-
lowing the republican state con-
vention, the action of that body
in PARTIALLY censuring Nebras-
raska's u. S. senators for their
attitude on the Cuban recipro-
city measure, seems to have been,
at least, trifle hasty. For years
we have been taught that protec-
ton to American industries, and
especially infant industries, is a
cardinal tenet of republican
creed. And the people of this
country have, from time 10 time
accepted such teaching and have
declared it to be an essential
element of successful government.
The matter of tariff is, in a sense
local matter, and in the franz
ing, or make up of tariff sche-
dule that will protect and raise
revenue, it is we'll understood
that, each community must make
concessions for the good
of the whole. If you
take that mighty array of
articles, coprising a tariff sched-
ule, and which speaks, clog
uently OF the material greatness
OF this country, and compare it
with Nebraska's products and
industries, the conviction forces
itself upon you that this state
has and is making tremendous
concession, without anything
like corresponding return. We
have no coal, no textile materials
and products, no lumber and a
thousand other things that need
protection. Yet, we have been
good republicans and have cheer
fully consented that the sister
states, possessing such things,
should have a full measure OF
protection. The only thing we
do have that has assumed the
proportions of state industry is
that of Beet Sugar. tits, indeed
an infant industry and eminently
respectable. Under proper con
ditions, given but tithe of thu
protection and support afforded
other industries in other states
| it will blossom like the rose anC
