Some texts in narrow and dingy frames
AwTy On the WhitcWashcd wall,
\ greasy lamp with smoking wick
That never was was trimmed at all;
A couple Of rows of wooden chairs,

4 rusty stove. and carpetless floor,
But the spirit of God was there.
Faded women and haggard men,
Faces weary and worn
With pain and famine and stress Of life,
Garments tawdry and torn;
An organ wheczy and out of tune.
And a preacher pale with prayer.
But star looked in like m angels face,
And the spirit of God WAS there.

The Firms are not yet entirely Rus
sianiZed. At a recent meeting held in
Helsingfors between two and three
hundred persons were present, includ-
ing number of farmers and represent
tatives of the working classes. Among
other resolutions adopted was the fol-
lowing: THAT this assembly considers
it imperative, for the maintenance Of
our political and national existence
to continue everywhere, unswervingly
and until legal conditions are restored
to the country, the passive resistance
against all measures conflicting with, or
calculated to abolish, our fundamental
laws" What is meant by passive re-
sistance the Russian authorities we'll
comply with any regulation which is
held to conflict with the immemorial
rights of the nation. One result of this
attitude of the people was the failure
of the attempt to carry into effect the
new army edict at the army levy last
spring, when about sixty Per cent of
the young men refused to present them
selves. 1t was predicted in the Russian
press that the recent ordinances would
quell resistance, but it is plain that
they have had no such effect. The
meeting also passed a vote of want of
confidence against the Senate for their
lack of firmness in withstanding Rus
sification and their misplaced zeal in
furthering illegal measures.

1t is related that general officer of
the British army in the Sudan who
was inspecting post on the line of
communications duly arrived one day at
little hut which represented the head
quarters of the army in some wind
swept hole. He entered and looking
round espied an office table and two
trays, one full Of papers. Interested,
he read the label attached to each. The
empty one was ticketed "Busness" and
the other "Bosh." Excellent officer"
purred the visitor; Thoroughly under
stands his work" But when he went
further and proceeded to examine the
papers in the "bosh' tray his feelings
may be better imagined than described
on finding the documents consisted ex-
clusively of his own voluminous orders
and memoranda.

Some newspapers in good cities are
pointing the finger of scorn at st. Louis
because of the shocking municipal cor
ruption discovered there, and the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat retorts by noting
that there have been seven convictions
for this corruption, carrying sentences
of from two to five years and adds:
"The convictions include millionaire

city officials who sell their votes to cor

Campaign in Uintah.

Vernal. Oct. THE campaign in this
section is beginning 10 warm up and
politics is the main topic Of interest.
There is an impression upon Democrats
that they will carry everything this
year, which is shared by many Repub-
licans.
Adrian Ross. who was named for
clerk on the Republican ticket, has de-
clined 10 make the race and the name
Of H. w. Woolley has been substi-

Postmaster r. s. Collett has, all de-
partment rules TO the contrary not
withstanding, taken the stump in EN-
cry and Carbon counties in the interest
of B. r. Mcdonald. the Republican
nominee for the state senate from this
district.
There is a feeling among some of
the friends of Dan b. Cotton, the Re
publican nominee for the legislature,
that he has made mistake in enter
ing the field of politics, which necessi-
tates his abandoning the principalship
of the stake academy, a position in
which he has given eminent satisfac-

LEXINGTON MAY DIE.
Believed That Victim Of Tuesdays
Shooting Is Fatally Hurt.

It is now believed that Robert W. Teth-
ington, the young man who was mysteri-
ously wounded on Tuesday night, cannot

will die with the secret of the shooting
locked in his breast Although conscious
for the greater part or the time In his
cot at Holy Cross hospital Lexington

rel.
His only request has been that his
mother and father be not notified Of the
shooting until after his death. but the
police thought better 70 disregard this
wish. and on Wednesday telegraphed his
family in Sacramento. They received an
answer. which said that II II was thought

member of the family has started as

from Sacramento last night. asking about
his condition, and II was signed by the
young mans mother.
In Edward Mullin. arrested yesterday
for the Springville poStOfflce robbery, the
police believe they have one OF the gang
OF safe blowers who operated successfully
on the safe OF the Sierra Nevada Lum-
Der company. and believe. too. that he Is
one Of the men implicated In the shooting
OF Lexington. The police claim that

that he can give no account OF himself
or his actions since arriving in the city

II was a cruel blow to BOtkin when

The emissary was told that the COM

Good Claims Rejected.

From a personal investigation. q"
they say, I'VE are convinced that scores
of claims are rejected every day that
should be allowed.
The dead line or place of execution
of veterans claims was found in the
medical division of the bureau, where
unlimited discretion seems to be vest
ed, to ignore the reports and ratings
of examining surgeons and TO min
imiZe the soldiers disabilities"
Referring TO the fact that, according
to the report of Commissioner Evans
for the year of 1901, there were 1852
pension claims rejected during that
year on medical grounds, the report
says:
1.-THE commissioner justifies the ac-
ton of the bureau for the reason. as
he claims, that such ratings were not
in accordance with the pen pictures Of
the applicants which were parts of the
reports. 1t seems TO us needless to
suggest that the living pictures which
the local examining board of surgeons
had before il in the persons of the
claimants undergoing close scrutiny
We're much better ones from which to
determine the disabilities than the So
called pen pictures reviewed at Wash
ington."

Medical Officer Scored.

The committee makes the point that
owing TO the advanced age of claim
ants their disease must grow worse
instead of better.
"Sdch a condition." they continue,
I'VE found apparent IN many of the
cases examined, and the logic thereof
seems TO have been disregarded by the
medical referee and his subOrdinates
in the bureau. Doubts that should have
been raised in favor of the claimant
were, in our opinion. raised against
him. We find that the bureau has
been exceedingly technical, narrow
and harsh in the application Of rules
of evidence even 10 the extent of re-
quiring claimants 10 establish their
right TO a pension beyond all reason
able doubt. Many of the rules of evil
denee applied to the business trans
acted in the pension bureau find their
salutary uses in criminal courts, not
In courts of equity.
In the matter OF the proof of mar
riage required of widows. the evidence
demanded both in quality and quantity
is unreasonable and in many cases
burdensome and very VeXatiOus. The
usual presumptions in favor of lawful
wedlock receive seant recognition in
the pension bureau"
Reference is made to the charge that

making an effort to obtain pensions by
fraud, the report saying;

Insult to Veterans.

THAT is a gratuitous insult 10 the
defenders OF the Union and without
justification. as shown by the commits
siOner's last report, in which the sub
ject Of frauds is extensively dealt with.
An analysis of the facts shows that of
the 1853 persons convicted last year, only
ten were soldiers Of the civil war. two
of whom were deserters, or one 10 every
1888 soldiers and sailors on the pen
sion rolls. We challenge any other
department TO make as favorable a
showing"
The committee endorses the sugges-
ton that those entrusted with dis
bursting the government bounty
should be defenders of the honor of
those who receive il"
1t also defends the pension attorneys
against the charge of fraudulent prac-
tees. The report closes as follows:
We respectfully submit that il can
not reasonably be expected that the
pension laws will be fairly construed
and justly administered in accordance
with their spirit and intendment by
those who treat every applicant for
pension with distrust, regard his at
torney as fraud and brand the ex-
aiming surgeon as incompetent and
dishonest.
