COUNTRY'S GREATEST EVIL

EDITOR VIRGINIA CITIZEN-Some
years of experience and observation
have taught me that the greatest
evil OF our country-next, at any
rate, to the one that has gone down
in fire and blood to rise no more
is the evil of intempersnce. Every
days experience. every hour of re-
Election, teaches me that it is the
duty of patriotism, the duty of hu-
manity, the duty of Christianity, to
live Christian lives and to exert tenn
perance influence among the people.
/ do hope to live long enough to see
the cause which my heart loves and
my judgment approves stronger than
1T is today. i may be mistaken, but
it seems to me that the present is a
rather dark and troubled night for
that cause, and it is because it so
seems to me that | believe it to be
the duty of every honest, conscien-
tious, self sacrificing man of our
country to speak and to do for the
caese in every Legitimate and proper
way, and my reliance for the ad-
yancement of the cause of temper
ance is the same reliance which
have upon the spread of the Gospel
of our Divine Lord and Master.
The heart, the conscience and the
reason must be appealed to continu-
ally, and Christian men and women
must remember that the heart of
Christianity is temperance. If it
costs a sacrifice to give it, what is
sacrifice to doing good and lifting
toward heaven our fellow-men? We
have got to rely on appeals and ad-
dresses made to the heart of this
nation, to the conscience of the peo-
pie and the reason of the country.
We have got to train up the chill
dren in the casue from infancy. We
must teach it in the schools and
everywhere by word and, above all,
by example; and it seems TO me that
Christian ministers, in this dark
hour of our country, when they see
SO much intemperance and what
looks to some of us like reaction,
should make the voice of the pull
pits of this land heard. Members of
the Christian churches should re-
member that they have something tc
do in this cause. If anything stands
in the way of Christianity it is
drunkenness in our land. A word
for temperance at this time is the
strongest blow against the kingdom
of evil. Suppose we have been dis
appointed, suppose that many OF
our laws have failed, we still know
that We are right. The evidence i.
around and about us that we canno
be mistaken in living lives of tota
abstinence and recommending such
course to our neighbors.
When it costs something to stant
By the temperance cause then is tn,
hour to stand by it. do believe i
is among the first and the highes
and the grandest duties which hu
manity can engage into work fo
the cause of total abstinence.

OBITUARY.

These are my little lambs," said He;
Protection they shall find in me-"
Howard William Davis, only son of ).
w. and Esther E. Davis, died Wednes-
day, March 10Th, 1902, at the home of his
parents in Lancaster county, Va, after
six hours suffering from a burn. He
was only two years, five months and one
day old but he had lived long enough,
thought the Celestial Gardener, to be
transplanted into the Heavenly fold.
Although we know that our loss is his
gain, yet we can but mourn for one
whose sweet smiles and pratling voice
we had learned TO listen for. He was
buried at Edgely church Thursday at
3 p. m, Rev. R. Z. Bentley reading the
burial services. S.
Darling Howard, Ire has left US,
Left us. yes, forever more;
But we hope TO meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.
This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet flower
In Paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade 1t blossom there,
Our home IS sad without Howard,
AS the hours pass slowly by;
But we hope and long TO meet him,
In that happy home on high.
More AMI more each day we miss him.
Whilo every morn we rise with care;
Bot we know his soul is anchored
Within the throne of angels there.
We are lonely without Howard,
Seldom nog do we rejoice,
Oft in sadness now we languish
Since no more we hear his voice.
Dear little Howard miss thee so.
All through the day where're 1 go;
All through the night how lonely it seems,
No little Howard wakes me from my dreams
1 miss thee all through the weary hours;
L miss thee as some do the sunshine an,
flowers;
Day time and night, wherever go,
Dear little Howard, / miss thee so.

The latest fashion in the tight

Otero, the favorite of Paris, discloses
this amazing secret. She says:

they are not concealed! The glove

safe cracking business there can be no
doubt.
Upon its discovery, the police de-
partment was quickly notified. The
sergeant Of the night shift was gone
and Sergeant Hempel was out on some
other work. Desk Sergeant Smith was
alone in the Office and he al once infi
formed Chief Paul Of the affair. Thc
latter at once proceeded TO the lumber
oompany's Office and made an investlt
CATION. Later Sergeant Hemple was
called In and made acquainted With ths
facts While It Is true the burglars
left no clue which would lead 20 thelt
detection and apprehension, the pollce'
believe they know who did the job and
they are working hard on the case.
The chief Of police received word
from Denver the other day, that two Of
the smoothest safe crackers in the
country were heading this way and
would probably arrive in Salt Lake the
first of the week. They evidently lost
no time In getting here and making
haul before their presence became
known TO the officers.
When asked about the robbery this
morning, Manager $. J. Lynn said Il
We'll. it's smooth job and was Ger.
talnly done by experts. We didn't lose
very much, the amount taken amounts
70 $500. IL Is not our custom to keeT
money In the safe over night and W.
very rarely have a large amount or
hand In the office The money taken
was from collections made during yes,
terday. The safe proper Is not dam
aged at all, but the doors are prac-
tically ruined. There were three ex-,
plosions, the first at ! 10 this morning.
as that is the time the clock stopped
The fellows had no trouble in getting IN
the office. They simply took a iim-
my and prled open a side door, and ]
fancy they did not have great deal Of
trouble In blowing open the safe. We
are satisfied that the job was done by
experts, and the police are OF the same
opinion. Chief Paul said he knew q
couple of safe crackers were on their
way here from Denver, but Of course
he did not know that the first safe they
would tackle would be that In the office
Of the Sierra Nevada Lumber company,
The fellows certainly know their bust
ness as they had to blow off both out
side doors and then the doors inside
the vault protecting the cash box. Sc
far as we know the explosions were
not heard by anyone, and the first we
knew about 1t was when the office was
opened at o'clock this morning"
The police haven't much TO say on the
case except that the men know the
business. The officers are doing all
they can on the case.
