what was there in a piece Of cheap

sign of a great and powerful nation:
the bunting, the flag, represented the
highest ideals of the nation. II was
this sign for which men went forward
into battle for their country's honor.
Thus it was with the sign of God.
Some people say to a minister that
they do not feel good enough to 20 to
Gods altar to be confirmed. The bishop
said this was probably an honest opin-
ion Of ones self. but too often it was
an excuse. Should one man say to an
other that that same man was mo
good" IL would mean that he was not
reliable, had no integrity, did not pay
his debts. and. in "A commercial sense,
was not to be trusted. This was the
difference between n man saying OF
himself ne was mot good enough" and
others saying 1t of him. Confirmation
did not mean that one was joining a
select club. Not at all. 1t meant fell
lowship in the church Of Christ.

vented Prompt Move
ment Of Troops.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.--It was
learned today that a prompt answer
has been received by the state depart
ment TO the latest Colombian note re-
sDecting the Panama canal treaty
which was transmitted to the depart
ment Monday. Its nature was not dl.
vulged. but the presumption is that 1t
deals almost entirely with Colombia's
representations regarding the sover-
ignity of the isthmus, which the Co.
lombians feel has been seriously invad-
ed by the acts Of Commander Mclean
and Admiral Casey in preventing the
prompt movement Of troops across the
railroad.
The state department is anxious that
a speedy settlement be reached in or
der to facilitate the completion OF the
Panama canal treaty. Mr.. Concha,
the Colombian minister received am
pie and specific instructions empower
ing him to proceed in the matter
which has been retarded only by the
controversy which has arisen regard
ing the transit of the isthmus.

ACTIVITY IN WHEAT MARKET.
Better Prices Prevailing Has Made
Matters Lively on Coast.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-The up
ward movement in the price of wheat
is causing considerable excitement in
local commercial circles and the mark
ct is showing more activity than for
several months. The fact has develop
ed that early estimates Of the crop of
this state were far from the actual
facts The reports at first indicated a
yield of about 100000 tons. Now that
the harvest is over. the crop is believed
to be only 100000 tons. or trifis over.
The extent of the wheat shortage is
shown by the statement that there
will be between $4,000, 900 and 100000
grain bags carried over this year,
against from 100000 to 100000 in
ordinary seasons.
The great drouth in Australia is
turning large quantity of wheat in
that direction which would otherwise
be shipped to Europe from this port.
though the steamer Saloma has
brought news that the drouth was
breaking and that better conditions
prevailed in the south sea continent.
The British ships Claverdon, Trafal-
gar, Glenolova, Blythwood and vimera
have all been chartered to load here
for Australia and their cargoes may
be engaged before the end of the week.
Freights have gone down and ships
are now easily secured at IL shillings |
