The Water and Light Question.

| For over two years the people of
jamestown hare been waiting for the
restoration of a sufficient supply of
city water and have voted plenty of
money to the councils to secure the
needed supply. AS yet no water sys-
tenn OF an adequate kind has been OBJ
tanned and all citizens are familiar
with proceedings of the council on the
| question and the efforts that have
been made from month to month to
get water. The question of electric
lighting franchises for corporations
has also, in the meantime, been al
most constantly before the council
and a great deal Of discussion has
| been had over the relative merits Of
the proposed companies and their so
called rights and privileges. The city
has paid out large sums of money for
the pumping of water by the electric
light company. from surface well in
to mains, and the question of obtain
ing water has been tackled on to the
electric light propositions and the two
seem to have been 50 intimately aSso-
ciated that it has been impossible for
the city to get an independent action
on the water question, apart from the
interests of the electric light compan-
les. The city could have secured
water long ago by the same means
(that of reservoir or stand pipe) now
undertaken, and it is hoped that the
pushing Of the water supply to an
early completion will not meet with
the delays that have occurred in the
past.
When the bonds were voted to sink
another artesian we'll, after the old
one had given out, the council had the
option Of putting up a reservoir or
stand pipe, but selected the well
proposition instead, and as all know,
the delay in getting the well was long
and the result has cost the tax payers
big sum of money. That money
could have been spent in the only GER
tain way to get water, and the city
would have had the plant by this
time.
The question of water is far more
important to the city than any elect
ric light proposition, and the election
of the new members of the council
this spring seemed to indicate that
the people want water more than they
want a long postponed controversy
over electric light companies affairs.

been cut away, both crossings graded
and the work completed, without any
material interference on the part of
the railroad officials. The opposition
of the 500 is due, no doubt, to the fact
that they will be obliged to cut their
trains in two quite often, in order to
comply with the five minute law for
blockading crossing. 1t may also
necessitate the extension Of the depot
platform to the west On the other
hand, the crossing will be Of great
benefit to the people Of the town and
surrounding territory. In the past
teams we're obliged to 60 a quarter OF

Owing to the scarcity of men the

The Northern Pacific started fifty
Sioux Indian boys from Fort Yates to
work on the division west from Man
dan this week. The Indians are the
first to be employed by the road and
the experiment will be watched with
considerable interest. The scheme
was proposed by Indian Agent Bingen-
heimer of the Standing Rock agency
who has been making an effort to Sc
cure employment for several hundred
young bucks. 1t is believed that the
Indians, who are strong and healthy
will make good workers. They will
be employed as track laborers.

THE MAD MULLAH.

a contributor TO the Chicago Chron-
icle gives an interesting account OF the
r)-called Mad Mullah. who seems TO
be causing some trouble In somallland.
His name is Hail Mohammed Alb
dullah. and he commenced his opera
ticns In 1899 by leading a raid against
a neighboring tribe, under the pretext
Of recovering some stolen camels. He
was then only an ordinary mullah, or
priest, but after a number Of success
ful raids he proclaimed himself the
successor Of the Mahdi, assumed an
artagonistlc attitude toward the Brit
ish protectorate government, and an
nounced that he intended TO rule the in
terror, leaving the coast to the Euro
pcans.
Originally he came from the Buner
country, the village Of Rega. Sir Bin
den Blood and his division marched
through Buner after the battle CT the
Tanga Pass The Mad Mullah's house
was the best In the village, but the only
lerts that escaped destruction were
the doors. which were covered with
BEAUTIFUL carvings and were carried
away by the officer.
The Mullah has never forgotten this
and he has on every occasion harassed
tine British troops. He has never been
thoroughly conquered. though there is
a reward for his capture. one plot to
capture him In violation Of civilized
usages, ended unfortunately for the
originator Of the plot
ION one occasion the British general
Anderson, sent messenger 10 the
Mullahs camp proposing meeting.
The general proposed that the great

another The canteen was abolished

been detrlment to the soldiers. And
when that Is demonstrated there will be

both sides agree on the necessity OF
guarding the soldiers from drunkenness
and accompanying evils. The only diff
ference Of opinion is as to the means by
which the end ought to be gained.

FIRST DAY OR SEVENTH.

The question of Saturday Or Sunday
for sabbath is placed In cletr light by
The New York Independent, by simply
reminding its readers of the well known
fact. that by travelling round the world
in the right direction one would lose O
day and consequently find, upon the
completion Of the journey, that what to
the traveller is the seventh day Of the
week, Is the first 70 those who have
remained, There is. then, no necessity
of quarrelng about which day Of the
week ought to be the Sabbath since the
seventh and the first day can be made
identical The Independent says.
Samoa is hereafter to reckon the
days OF the week after the western, and
not the eastern manner, a change OF
one In the day Of the week and the
month. Let US see, what that might
involve. If what was Saturday now
becomes Sunday, why cannot the Jews
end the Seventh Day Baptists call II
Sunday, and both rest and worship on
the same day by this perfectly proper
convention? or, indeed, why should not
cur American Jews send their chief
rabbis on a tour around the world, In
he right direction, and have them come
back TO find that their seventh day Is
our first day? We cannot see that IT
really makes any real difference where
In the week you begin to count from,
nor indeed that there Is any beginning
10 the week. The entire difference as
to the Sabbath day Is a mere conven-
ticnal Journalism that has no inherent
Importance; and II any one thinks II
has, let him take trip around the
world, and come back in line with other
people"

The Chicago Standard.

Whatever We may find by the most
rigorous psychological analysis that
helps us In understanding how the
spiritual impulse finds Judgment In the
mind, and how the spiritual life re-
lStes itself TO the humber functions
OF the brain, all such facts speak 10 W.
not Of a blind materialism. but OF
God who has been working hitherto In
ways that We knew not. II Is true
that religious truth, looked at from
this angle, assumes some unfamiliar
aspects to minds that have unoonsci-
ously persisted In thinking Of God as
a king far OF In the sky. and have
used lightly the familiar phrases about
the Holy Spirit without really believing
that God lives In the minds Of men
as we'll as in the rest OF nature. But
none Of us need he afraid OF losing
our faith by dropping of some crude
and grossly unseriptural ideas Of God.
for which we must blame the mistaken
teaching Of early childhood.

A Socialist Sunday School movement,
which has been firmly planted In Great
Britain for some years. Is described in
the Boston Congregationaist The
headquarters Of the movement Is at
Glasgow. In that city there are eight
schools, and half-penpy magazine
called The Young Socialist is issued.
Socialist Sundaycschools also exist in
London, Liverpool, Bradford and other
cities. A little textbook Of sixteen
pages has recently been published, pre-
senting Socialist doctrines In language
suited to the minds of children. By
these publications the children are
taught to hate cericalism and capital
Ism, to strive against the "evil giants"
OF oppression and exploitation, and to
help to unite all nationalltes and races
In the same impulse Of brotherly love.

Unlversalist Leader.

Every apologist Of conventional the

alterations OF early Christianity. The
reason Ii easily discovered. Conven-
tional theology does not date from the
Gospels, but from the creeds. Those
systems NJ theology which SO long held

Of Jesus, but In the supposed necessl-
ties OF later age, where men were try

process was or Is OF importance to the
perpetuity Of the work Of Christ Is ex-
