A stage crisis in real life was enacted
in Nebraska City a short time ago. 1t
was no mimic thriller but was the kind
that give theatricals inspiration. The
elements were a burning barn, a
screaming babe inside and a terrified
mother outside tearing off the boards
in frenzied eagerness. The children
had been playing in the barn of Grant
Yates. OF course they got hold Of
matches. Hay near by took fire and
blazed up frightfully to the children.

that has always surrounded the state
of Washington and Oregon attracted
him among the vast hordes of others
this spring. With his family he de-
parted after selling all he possessed.
The other day he returned. His old
friends and neighbors heard of his
coming and prepared for him. At the
station when he arrived was the brass

who mounted him on their shoulders.

result was that a farmers team ran

Finally he sought out a physician.
That gentleman conducted an examtn-

few swift swishes of his weapon of
annihilation he hewed out needle.
Mr.. Branson was quite surprised.
After some moments of thought he re-
membered that he had been told that

then adopted the idea that his in
formers had mistaken a pin for
needle and that this implement had
been coursing through his muscles all
these years.

indigestion rather than malice or mis-
chief. Hence, if pills are used, the

no expenditure of muscle in the arm

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
The fruit of the Spirit is peace, not
| the peace which comes of lying in the
shade of life and chewing the cud of
animal satisfaction, but peace through
our Lord Jesus Christ, peace with God,
peace with our best selves, peace with
our neighbors and peace with our sur
roundings.-Rev. DIR. w. S. Fulton,

WISHES AND PURPOSES.
The origin of a wish is passing senti-
ment; of a purpose, conviction. A wish
| begets no practical activity; purpose
is utterly incompatible with Incidence.
A wish, at the utmost, may expand in
to a day dream or build some castles
in the air. A noble purpose is usually
linked with a bright, substantial hope.

Hepburn Bill to Come Up on
January q.
Calls For an Aggregate Appro-
priatiOn of $ISO,OOO,OGO.
ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS
Believed That Measure Will Be
Passed at This Session.
Length of Canal by Proposed
Route is 100 Miles.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The people Of
the United States win shortly through
their representa- tives decide upon which
route to adopt for the construction of an
isthmian canal uniting the Atlantic and
Pacific.
At the present moment the Panama
route, although by far the shorter of the
two and one upon which millions of dol
lars have already been expended, is con-
sidered to be out of the question alto
gether.
French capital was thrown at a time
when it looked as if the canal was to
be an international affair. Owing to the
sudden understanding arrived at with
Great Britain contained in the newly
ratified Pauncefote-Hay treaty and tic
introduction of bills at Washington IA
voring the Nicaraguan route by Messrs-
Hepburn and Morgan, the Panama
canal people have been gOaded to sud
den action.
NJ. Hutin, who was so long president
of the De Lesseps attempt, has been re-
moved from that position and we are
very likely to receive some favorable
offer from this company which would
probably be glad to sacrifice much to
obtain something out of the wreck OF
their plans.
The comparative value of the two
routes has been already decided upon
by a senate committee on interoceanic
canals and a bill was passed by the
house of representatives authorizing
the president to acquire from Mica
ragua and Costa Rica such territory as
1t would be necessary to control in order
to build and fortify the canal. The
bill provided that the canal should be OF
sufficient depth and capacity to permit
the movement of ships of the largest
tonnage and greatest depth now in use
and should be made from point near
Cfreytown on the Caribbean sea via
Lake Nicaragua to Breto on the Pacific.
The bill called for a preliminary appro-
priation of $40, 900, 900, with a limit that
further appropriations should not
exceed in the aggregate 4O,0O0,6C0.
Neither this bill nor the one introduced
concurrently in the senate by Senator
Morgan became law.
The total distance from ocean to
ocean of the Nicaragua route is 1898
miles, including ITO miles of Lake Mica
ragua- which reduces length of cutting
to 1913 miles
The length of the Panama canal is
estimated at 461a miles, the canal being
practically finished from Colon to
