One of the Tribes Of Ben Hur
Has Been Disbanded.
Odd Fellows Sanitarium at Hot
Springs, Arkansas.

Lodge meetings in the order of the
Tribe of Ben Hur have been discon-
tinued. The members of this tribe have
been m Getting each Thursday night at
Lincoln Post, C. A. R., hall on East
Sixth avenue. When the chapter of the
order was first organized here, the at
tendance was near the so mark, but this
gradually diminished until recently only
four or FIVE were present at each meet
ing The remainder of the members
dropped out and refused to pay local
dues, only keeping up the premiums on
their insurance. The few who did at
tend the meetings regularly soon De
came convinced that the expenses o.
keeping up the lodge meetings were too
great for so small a number OF mem
bers, and for that reason the meetings
have been abandoned. Thursday

CONGRESs1I.4Ns MORRIS NOT a CAN-
DID4TE.

CONGRESSMAN. NORRIS NOT A CAN
= 80 DID4TE.
The Pioneer Press this morning pub
fishes q letter written by Congressman
Page Morris to Frank e. Searle at
Duluth, chairman of the congressional
committee, in which the congressman
states that he will not be candidate
for denomination at the Forthcoming
primary election. Congressman Nor
,,ris says that he intends to gretire from
public life~ and, will In TIE future de-
vote his time to his law practice which
will prove far more renumerative than
serving the Minnesota district in con-
gress. The withdrawal of Congress-
man Morris from the field leaves J.
Adam Bede practically a clear field
for the nomination. Congressman Nor
ris has served the old Sixth district
since March 4, 1897, succeeding Charles
A. Towne who served one term in con-
gress, but whom the people refused to
re-elect because of hts views on the
money question. Page Morris entered
upon his congressional career with the
confidence of the people of his district
and this confidence it can be said to
his credit has remained mistaken.
He has proved himself loyal repre-
sentative and close student of public
affairs. AS matters now stand it would
seem that Mr.. Bede is the logical sue
cessor to Congressman Morris for the
Republican nomination. He has by
his loyal work for his party proved
himself worthy of some substantial
recognition. He filed his certificate
as candidate for congress a short
time ago and intended to contest for
the honor with Congressman Morris,
but the latter's withdrawal would in
dictate that the congressional primary
election will be one of harmony and
the best of good feeling

SOME sympathetic person who evil
IDENTIFY bemoans the lot of the poor
editor who loses his reputation and
grip at home, advises him to take
trip away from home. The writer
says: ''It will do him powerful sight
of good, and he will come to the con-
clusion that the outside world desires
to treat him kindly and considerably.
Such away from home visits will
broaden him, and he will look with
more leniency upon those with whom
he differs in his local field" The ad-
wise is all good enough, but then to
think that the average country editor
can pack his grip and go away off some
where and sit down in lands and climes
remote and enjoy himself. Does it
snow on the Sahara desert and do ba-
nanas grow in Ireland? We guess not.

T. DE WITT T4LMaGE.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage who died
at Washington last Saturday at the
age of seventy years, was one of the
most eminent divines and pulpit ora
tors OF the age. In his early years be
started to study law but decided to en-
ter the ministry as his life profession,
and his work as minister and lect-
urer and editor OF religious publica-
lions has given him a worldwide repu-
tation. For twenty-five years be was
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church of Brooklyn where he became
noted for his gift of oratory and dra-
matte manner in the pulpit. He pos
sessed wonderful descriptive powers
and was word painter of rare ability.
In 1894 when his Brooklyn church
burned for the third time during Mr..
Talmage's passionate he resigned and
went to Washington where he became
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. His sermons were published
by syndicate and found their way
into every hamlet in the land and for
that matter in many foreign lands. It
is said that in this way he reached
5O,0OO,O 900 readers. It is said that he
made more money than any other cler-
gyman in the world. His salary from
his Brooklyn congregation was $4,000
year. From a single firm he received
$4,000 year for his sermons. AS
editor of religious paper he received
SIS, 900 more and his lectures brought
him large returns. On one occasion
he refused an offer of S., 900 for series
OF lectures because it would interfere
with proposed trip to Europe. st.,
He was prolific writer and before
his last trip to Europe and the Holy
Land he wrote all his sermons in ad-
vance for his publishers, and naturally
enough many of them we're not deliv-
cred according to program, but they
reached the people just the same as if
he had delivered them. His last SER
mon published was written by him a
short time before his illness. It was a
vivid glimpse of the splendors and
glories of heaven, his text being from
Revelations 81, ''There was silence in
heaven about the space of half an
hour" In his, last printed sermon ap-
pears the following:
For the last thirty-five years I have been
much Of the time in crowds and under public
scrutiny and amid excitements, and I have
sometimes thought for few weeks after I
reach heaven would like to go down in some
quiet part of the realm, with a. few friends,
and for little while try comparative soitude''
The Talmage sermon long ago be-
came a great feature of the secular
press and will be greatly missed by
many thousands of readers in this and
other countries.

The Bemidji Pioneer takes excep-
tion to the statement made by bright
magazine writer who says the northern
forests are the mother of Incidence
and the tomb of greatness. The Pho
neer says that the forests are not the
tomb but the womb of greatness. It
also says: ''Isolation forms character,
not the glare and clatter of society.
Genius is a night shade, a plant that
grows best out of the glare of the sun
and thrives best when undisturbed by
the hoe of culture, Budding genius
and ambitious minds look uncomfort-
able in high collars and spike-tailed
coats. Seldom does genius succeed as
leader of the ''swell set." Imagine
if you can a Lincoln bred in CITY
apartment house, a Grant spending
his youth on the Bowery, Longfellow
tuning his lutte to nature from a 49,
story window! Yes, solitude is the
cradle of talent; society the grave"

''HEW to the line and let the chips
fall where they may" This it the best
way to do business, privately and pub
licly. 1t may mean apparently a.
times sacrifice, but in the end it will
not prove so. This is the policy
Princeton should adopt. It is to be
regretted that there should be any
misunderstanding or trouble over the
village fire ordinance. The village
council of Princeton has by ordinance
designated certain limits in the village
in which none but absolutely fire-proof
buildings shall be erected, and there
does not appear to have been any
gross violations of this ordinance since
it was passed, and let US hope that
there will not be. Under this ordi-
nance the council has no discretion in
the matter one way or another, and its
duty is to see that the ordinance is
lived up to without fear or favor. Fire
proof means fire proof and it does not
mean anything else. Let us have no
patchwork of this the most important
ordinance the village has, as self pres
/ervation is the first law of nature.
Another matter that is up to the
council is that of future water supply.
The present we'll for, some reason or
another fails to furnish an ample sup.
ply of water for the village use and to
keep the tank supplied for emergencies
in case OF fire. In the meantime warm
weather is coming when more water
will be needed and the streets will have
to be sprinkled. Some say all that is
necessary is few dollars expended on
the bottom of the we'll, while jothers
insist that before permanent supply
OF water can be had the we'll will have
to 60 to she'll rock. This means an ex.
penditure of d lot of money. But why
dilly daily with the matter. It is ur
to the council and it ought to act and
act at once without splitting any hairs
over the matter. u 81. !: = -. u;
