In Lent.
To turn aside

To turn aside
From every sJrdid path OF worldly
life,
To leave behind all the bitter strife
And ruling pride
To rend the heart
OF riding things which hold it in
their grasp
So'closely shut It's hard to lit the
hasp
And let a dart
OF pure white light
Come in and search all corners OF
that room,
And bring it from its wretchedness
and gloom,
Nav and contrite.
To fast and weep
Ger days OF thoughtlessness and
selfish ease;
AS penitents to come on suppliaut
knees
This Lent to keep.
Like Christ to ind
10 blessed doing OF the Fathers will
That peace which follows, ever calm
and still
Within the mind.
For God to live.
Not only forty days, but year by
year,
Learning OF Christ the joyfuluess
and cheer
Which Lent can give.
At last to riss
On some glad East ,r morn and see
His face
And hear His voice OF welcome, in
that place
Beyond the skies.

Identity Still in Doubt.

Lewistown, Dec. 25.-The identity
of the LewistoWn man murdered in
Minneapolis on the night of the 18th
Of last month is still more or less un-
certain. From a chain of circum-
stances it was thought that it, was
John Ulstead, but a photograph re-
ceived in this city yesterday, purport-
ing to be Of the dead man, in no way
resembles Ulstead. Whether it is q
very defective photograph or that
Ulstead is still alive is unsettled in
the minds of his friends here. II he
is alive he is keeping himself hid
den, as nothing whatever has been
heard from him since he left Lewis

Keep Out Of Range.

Caracas, Dec. 25.-Advices from
Maracaibo today state that the Ger
mar gunboat Panther, blockading that
port, is standing we'll off shore, ap-
parently for fear of the batteries,
which are ready to open on her if she
approaches near enough. The garri-
son of Maracaibo has no doubt of be-
ing able to. repulse any attack that
may be made on the harbor.
Present Castro is making a tour
of the adjoining, provinces to learn
the military conditions and effect any
further organization which may be
necessary for defense. The govern.
ment, it is said, is now prepared to
meet the British and Germans with
force at almost any point at which
they may land.
The troops in the capital are drill.
ing daily, and are becoming very eff
icient. Large quantities of ammu,
milton stored at interior points have
been brought to the coast defenses.

ITS EFFECT LOCALLY.
Yellowstone County May Suffer
Through Unjust Law.

Should the state officers at Helena
conclude to purchase the $4,000
court house bonds to be issued by the
county, as they may under the law,
the deal would cost Yellowstone coun-
ty just about $4,000. The law pro-
vides that before any municipal, coun-
ty or school district bonds are sold
the same must first be rendered to
the state, and il the latter refuses to
take the bonds then they may be Of
fered on the open market.
The rate of interest provided in
case the state becomes a purchaser
is 5 per cent. AS bonds are selling
now it is the opinion of the board Of
county commissioners that the $4,000
court house bonds could be foated at
4 per cent, providing the commits
sioners were allowed to dispose Of
them to the best bidder. These
bonds will run 20 years and il sold
to draw 4 per cent interest the coun-
ty would effect a saving of 5000.
The commissioners hope that the
state officers will lot take advantage
a very bad piece of legislation enact
| ed two years ago and which will un-
doubtedly be repealed at the session
of the legislature this winter.

Toledo, O., Dec. 25.-The Bee today

Toledo, O., Dec. 25.-The Bee today
says:
Warren J.. Baker, secretary of the
Northwestern Ohio Masonic Relief as
ISOLATION, today for the first, time
makes public the secret history OF the
looting of the Catholic cathedrals dur
ing the Mexican war and tells how it
was done and Of the burial of the
treasure.
His tongue was loosened by a Jews
paper man from Mexico telling Of the
disappearance of a chest of diamonds,
sapphires, rubies, pearls and golden
images under the fagstones in the
chapel of Los Voscainas college in
Mexico City.
Mr.. Bakers story rivals the myth
cal tales of Captain Kidd and more
over bears the unmistakable stamp
of truth. He says that his father
marched from Vera Cruz to Mexico
City with General SCOTS army dur
| ing the Mexican war. He and a tent
mate, after plotting for weeks dug
their way into some Of the richest of
the c%athedrals and pillaged them of
| their fabulous wealth of all sorts of
valuable stones and huge golden
images.
For hours they looted, carrying their
burdens of precious stones to a hid
ing place beneath the f%lagstones of a
cathedral yard.
Shortly afterward Bakers compan.
len died. Baker returned to his home
in New York and then went to Hills
dale, Mich. Fifteen years after plum
dering the cathedrals he confided his
story to an intimate friend. The
friend wrote to the Mexican govern
ment asking IF there would be any
chance Of a division of the spoils'
if he should tell the government
where to find the sacred and valuable
altar decorations that had been stol
en-.
In a letter bearing the official sea
he Hillsdale man received warning
that If he knew of any one who hat
a hand in the notorious pillaging O.
if he himself participated in it HI
would do we'll to forget what he knew
and Keep quiet, lest his life be sac
riiced in revenge for the Dissertation
of the c%athedrals.
Baker and the friend took the al

treasure the former had buried.

Italian, French, might have gone be-
fore the Venezuelan courts and if
their cause were just and If their
judgments were just the government
would have paid the judgments.
The objection to that view is that
no account is taken of miscarriages of
justice of corrupt courts and of racial
antipathies which sometimes result in
q denial of justice to foreigners. But
so determined are the South Ameri-
can countries to adhere to that doc
trine that some of them have gone to
extraordinary lengths in their resist
ance of the diplomatic efforts of for
eign governments to ecure justice
for their subjects. A notable case is
that of Salvador. Recently a United
States corporation obtained after ar
bitration, a judgment against the gov
eminent of Salvador. The verdict
was received with intense indigna-
ton in Salvador, and so intense was
the anti-foreign feeling excited that a
law was passed making it a criminal
offense and one to be heavily punish
ed for any ~Salvadorian to give any evil
dence whatever before any court in
behalf of a foreigner who obtained
damages against the Salvadorian gov
eminent. ny.

Latin-American Contention Which
Will Figure in Arbitration.

Washington, Dec. 25.-If the presi-

services of some one versed in inter-
national law, because the crucial
point in the controversy is the ia
nous Calvo doctrine. The doctrine,
laid down by the greatest of Latin

for very many years regarded as be-
yond question by all of the Latin
American republics, denies the right
of any nation to intervene diplomat

are open to his applications for justice.

Bozeman, Dec. 25.-The coroner's

having hit Miller over the head with
a club, when Miller was fighting

DR.. Blair's autopsy showed that the
cause of death was a clot on the brain,
which was the immediate result of a

showed that Larue had no intention
Of killing Miller, but struck him in
self-defense, and in the defense of

Washington, Dec. 25.-It is likely
that the government will build a fence

erected in May, 1883, at a cost of $500
on this battle ground, to mark the bur-

has been issuing forged Checks at in

have been for $40 each.
The first four issued were cashed
by Minneapolis banks-the Hennepin
County Savings bank two for $40 each
signed by T. M. Brisbine; the Swedish
American National one for the same
amount and signed by the same man
and the Metropolitan one for $40,
signed by M. A. Hurd. These checks
were dated in January, 1902. The
next one was dated February 10, and
cashed in Kansas City, for $25, drawn
by O. H. Wheeler. On October 20 the
same forger, signing Webb c. Truman,
issued another for $35 and cashed it
in Ogden, Utah. The next was cash
ed in Pocatello, Idaho, and signed by
G. M. Ward. The last, arriving yes
terday, was cashed in Missoula, Mont.
1t was drawn for $40 and signed by
F. G. Lawrence.
Mr.. Lawrence is an Armour bust

Washington, Dec. 25.-The coal

subject of utilizing the hitherto vast

materials are abundant in this coun-
try. Consul General Mason, writing
to the state department from Berlin,
says that correspondence has been re-
ceived there during the last month
from nearly every state and territory
in the union making further inquiries
regarding the machinery and process
employed in Germany for making
fuel briquette from Ignite, peat and

of the boys age the tissues around
the socket were too firmly settled to
yield to ordinary force and admit the
femural head, but an improvement
was obtained by a change in position
OF the thigh bone, and a plaster cast
was put on, as, in the other cases, to
retain the leg in it's new place.

as the patient before he gave up.
When he found there was no hope, he
