The Montana cattleman has happy
dreams this season and even has
grounds for hope that his beef will
fetch 81 this fall. The Bloom outfit
lately shipped a lot of Montana.Tex.
ans and received the record.breaking
price of $500. The present prices
will in all probability cause a rush OF
cattle to the early markets. Range
stock in this section is at present 10
good shape though the lateness OF the

crushing more ore than ever before.
During the storm last Tuesday an in
cident occurred which created some

attended this visitation, and some Of
the employees became terror stricken.
Little damage was done.
The work of moving the hosting
machinery to the site of the new

and it will replace the wood pipe
along the whole route.
The additions to the Barnes.King
mill are so far advanced that il may
be predicted that the work will be
completed in two weeks. In the
meantime the mill is kept fully enl-
ployed, and regular bullion shipments
are made. A shipment was made yes
terday, the value OF which, however,
was not given out.

A EIathead Gusher.

An oil well that gushes 300 barrels
a day and should show a greater ca.
pacity after proper development, has
been discovered almost in the Flat
head field. This well is not in Mon
tanE, but is Just across the line in
Canada and the field is pronounced
the same by experts who have visit
ed 1t recently. o. NJ. Holmes, deputy
state auditor, has received a letter
from the oil district giving information
regarding this well. 1t has been &C
cepted by the government and the To-
Gators have been granted patent to
the regular acreage of land. This
means that the well is considered good
by the men employed by the govern.
ment as experts on the subject of oil.
On the Upper Sage Creek.
The new cyanide district at the
head of Sage and Willow creeks is
being rapidly developed with very en-
.couraging results. E. Luckett and
Thomas Waddell have located a large
number of claims at the head of Sage
creek from which cyanide ore has
been obtained which runs from $1.20
to 81 in gold. Nothing really except
surface work has been accomplished
far on these claims but the outlook
Is good. l.. B. Divers. Henry Brown
and ]. L. Stuart are also interested in
the district and G.. M. Goodell has
done considerable work on a group of
claims located by him on Willow
creek. Mr.. Goodell has a force of
men opening up his property, from
which some very decent assays have
been obtained and this winter a large
amount of development work will be
done by the various owners. The ore
encountered In the district Is very
to the Kendall ore to look at
and there is every probability that
with sufficient depth being reached
that extensive bodies Of workable ore
will be uncovered. The best ore is
found in the immediate vicinity of the
big lime reefs which traverse the coun-
try for several miles at that point,
and the surface covering is either
sand rock or shale. Porphry forma-
lions are frequently encountered and
there is a strong indication that,
the country is badly broken
up, ore will be encountered in paying
quantities. The district is at present
in the hands of the prospector and 1t
will take some time before 1t is open
ed up sufficiently to interest the pro.
moter and capitalist.

Did the Wolf Bounty Carry9

The general opinion seems to
be that the proposition to pay a
county bounty on wolf scalps
carried at the last general cleo
ton. This opinion, doubtless,
prevails because there were more
votes cast for the bounty than
there were against it. The law
providing for counties paying
bounty of $1.00 for the scalp of a
wolf, coyote or wild cat requires
a majority of the electors voting
to vote in the affirmative.
In the recent election there
were 1892 votes cast. For the
bounty there were but 1,742
votes. The majority of the
electors is 1867. The PROPOSE.
ton failed by IFS votes.

Christian Science Reply.

To the Editor of the CUSTER
COUNTY REPUBLIcAN-DEAR SIR:
In a recent issue of your paper
there appeared long review and
criticism of Judge Ewing's lee
ture on Christian Science.
Before answering the objections
raised by our critic | shall set
out some of the admissions made
by him. The criticism admits
that God does not make us blind
lame, halt or deceased" and that
it is the will of God that none
should perish, and that healing
was done without medicine in
Bible times, and that the power
to do such healing was not in
man but in God. Admits that
God has the same power to heal
that he always had. Admits
the power of prayer, and that
prayers are answered when not
inconsistent with Gods will.

DEGREES but by application OF
some divine law, land that The
laws of God are immutable.
All Christian Scientists will
concur with our critic that Gods
laws are immutable. He believes

Good Words, Well Spoken.

In speech delivered before the
Omaha Real Estrte exchange,
Governer-elect John II. Mickey
referred to the lamentable fact
that the public debt was far in
excess of the constitutional limit,
and that extreme measures must
be taken to reduce it. Mr.. Mick
ey said that he believed that the
only remedy lay in assessing all
property in the state at its true
value, and that he would favor
such a course.
1t is certain that the state Off
GERS will favor a change in the
assessment laws, and that the
Legislature will feel called upon
to grapple with this question
which is of such vital Importance
to the people of Nebraska.
Whatever is done in the line of
rebuilding the revenue system, it
is we'll to bear in mind that the
precinct assessors are responsible
for present conditions, and that
so long as they are left free to do
their own will, and are response
BILE only to those who have elect
ed them to Office, no relief can be
obtained through them. They
are not elected to serve the in
terests of the state; they are cleo
ted to aid their constituents in e.
vading payment of the just claims
of the state. No particular pre-.
cinct, county or district is respon.
sible for this conditions; it is Z
hide-and-seek game from one enc
of the state to the other.
| AS pointed out in The Stal
some time ago, the cure is to e
lqulize assessments the state owe
by giving some officer, or board
the general supervision of assess
ments, with power to appoint de
puties in each county, and con
tinue them in Office only so Ions
as their duties are performed
with some regard for tn,
interests of the commonwealth.
/ The governor and the member
of the Legislature are awake t.
the Importance of this matter
and we may hope to secure tn,
passage of an assessment Law
this winter which is not a fare,
on its face, and even more far
cial in its effect.-The Lincoln

The use of such a logical word
as sign implies that health

The use of such a logical word
as sign implies that health
should inevitably result from sal
walton, just as the answer to
problem in mathematics is the |
sign of perfect work.
Our critic is not consistent.
He thinks that the healing done
by the disciples was by special
commission of divine power to
prove to the Jews that Jesus was
the Messiah. Later on He says
that the prayers of the prophets
were answered Not by revers-
ing His divine DEGREES but by the
apple alton of some divine law"
He admits that the application
of divine law healed the sick in
Old Testament times, and again
the says that Gods laws are i'm
mutable; hence when we under
stand and apply the same divine
law that the prophets applied,
healing will inevitably result.
Christian Science explains the
law of God as found in the Bible,
and teaches men to obey the
divine law implicitly, and to
overcome the evil laws of sin and
disease with the law of Life and
righteousness. The healing
power of Truth is not a miracle
to them that know and practise
the law of Life demonstrated by
Christ Jesus, but such healing
seems incredible to strangers to
the law. The Bible in recording
cases of healing calls them mir
acles," signs" and works. :"
Men said they were miracles, but
from the point of view of the
Master and the disciples they
were signs and works. And so
the Savior said: "He that be-
lieveth on me, the works that |
do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; be-
cause | go unto my Father. "
The Father is Spirit, and the
| Master meant that when absent
from the body and its limitations
in space and otherwise, but pres
ent in Spirit, He could do greater
works through his followers.
Greater not in kind, but in infin-
ite number and extent. And so
Jesus then worked in Palestine,
but now the Christ is healing
men in America and the other
continents. For "Lo, | am with
Iyou Away, even unto the end of

the world" And He is truly the
only Healer and Savior now, for
Jesus Christ is "the same yester-
day, today aud forever"
Our critic argues that the only
reason for miracles was to prove
the divinity of the Messiah. But
before he gets through he cites
several Old Testament miracles,
which surely were not intended
to prove that Jesus was the Mes
siah. The critic is trying to
show by the Old Testament mir
acles that ages before Christian
Science was heard of the power
of doing these mighty works ex-
listed. But while these examples
of the manifestation of divine
power in the early history of Is
rael do away with the theory
that such works were only in
tended to convince the Jews what
Jesus was the Messiah; yet these
Old Testament demonstrations
are corroborative of the teaching
of Christian Science, that all
that the world calls miracles are
really signs or works accomplish
ed by application of the eternal
law of Life and health. If Bible
and Church history show that
works of healing were done
both before and after the brief
ministry of the Master, and this
is the record, then such works
cannot rightly be called special
dispensations of Providence, but
they are rather the divinely
natural results or demonstrations
of the immutable law of God.
To explain the example given
by our critic as to pouring
boiling water on yonr flesh" we
would say that the penalty"
can be removed by Christian
Science. Just few days ago
lady telephoned for help who
had scalded her arm badly with
boiling water. In a few min
utes the pain was entirely des-
troyed and there were no signs
such as blistering or swelling to
show where the arm was scalded.
Every house-keeper in Christian
Science can testify to similar
demonstrations. And the three
young Hebrews who came out of
the fiery furnace, heated seven
times hotter than was wont,
without even the smell of fire on
their garments, surely solved the
problem that our brother presents.
! The heat was SO fierce that the
mighty men who approached the
furnace to throw the young men
in, were burnt to death. Those
soldiers were under the law that

we now see that he was the great
est law-beaker of meterial laws
that ever lived. We conclude |
then that the so--called natural
or material laws are not the laws
of God, but are merely temporal
theories and hypothesis of men,
and will some day be as obsolete
as the ancient law of the universe
that the sun revolved around the
earth.
Sin is lawlessness, or the trans
gression of the law of God. Our
critic says that the meterial laws
of nature are Gods laws; his arg
ument runs as follows: 1--WE vi
olate law of nature and we suf-
fer the consequences. Pour on
your flesh boiling water and the
penalty is inevitable. Apply the
medicinal remedies and the heal
ing process of nature is increased.
These are Gods laws. The Of
fender is the sufferer. Refuse to
apply the remedies and the heal
ing process is prolonged"
The answer to this is that the
Master refused to apply the med
icinal remedies of the Jews, but
the healing was instantaneous.
SO then, if Gods law requires
the application of medicinal rem
edies, our Saviour was a law
breaker in refusing to apply such
remedies.
Now let us compare the sinner
with the sufferer. Both are law
breakers. The sinner is the Of
fender, because he is a wilful
law-breaker. The sufferer may
have ignorantly or accidentally
broken some So-called law of
nature. Perhaps he was rescu-
ing a little child from a burning
building, and got badly burnt
himself. Now as l understand
the orthodox religion the vilest
sinner may be saved from sin,
and be lpardoned, forgiven and
regenerated. But when the suf-
ferer would come unto the same
living God and His Christ for
health, a sufferer who may be a
devote member of the church,
our critic would say: "Pray
that you may have grace to bear
your Affections and that his sum
light of happiness may shine in
on your soul"
If this be the case, the suffer
ing believer is worse off than the
hard-hearted sinner, for God
will save from sin, but the suf-
ferer must turn to medicinal rem
edies, although it is admitted by
the doctors that many diseases
are incurable by medicine. So
then the sinner is received and
recommended to the mercy OF
God, but the sufferer is sent
away from the power of the Spir'
it to the arm and art of man, and
from the divine Mind to the
material medicines. Yet wher
Jesus walked the earth he healed
all manner of diseases by the
application of Gods law, and
whoever understands the immut
able law of life and health viii
again prove that no diseases are
incurable. For it is the same
Lord "Who forgiveth all thine
iniquities, who healeth all thy
diseases.
Healing then is included in the
work of salvation. When one is
fully saved one is also "every
wit whole" Healing is the sigr
that the son of man hath power
on earth to forgive sins, iol
when error, the cause of sick
ness, is corrected and removed
by the Saviour, Truth
