METHODIST SOCIAL UNION.
A New Society Organized by Ministers
md Laymen.

The formation of Methodist Episcopal
Social Union, which has been projected in
this city for some time, was contaminated
yesterday afternoon at a meeting of promi-
nent laymen and ministers in w. c. Van
Arsdars office. o. III. Carson was elected
president of the union.
The objects of the organization are three
fold: First, to develop the social life of the
Methodsts of the city; second, 10 unite the
Methodists Of the several churches so that
a voice. can be given TO the attitude OF the
10000 members of the church in Indianapo-
lis on public questions; and, third. TO plan
church work, such as the establishing OF
new churches. etc.
1t is proposed that three meetings of the
union be held each year, with one large
affair-a banquet similar to the one given
last night in celebration of the Wesley BIZ

A TUsT DECISION. \ {.

Well, it seems that the question Of the
Alaska boundary line has been settled in
our favor. The Canadians are naturally
very wrathy about it and probably hon--
estly believe that it is another Yankee
trick. For ourselves, we long ago be-
lieved that the United States was entitled
to the whole coast line of Alaska, not
because we had made any study of the
question, but just from the general prin-
ciples Of the, matter. There could have.
been only one reason for the long, mar
row line of country extending for so
many hundred miles along the coast OF
Alaska being originally kept by Russia.
The land itself at that time was of no
value present or prospective; Russia had
England at that time somewhat in box
and could and did make such treaty as
they saw fit, and they took all that SEEM
ed to be of value to them, which was not
the land nor the coast in itself, but that
it put up wall between the Canadian
possessions and the sea. And there
r
would seem to be no doubt bu; that is
what they intended to do, and unless
there was some error in the wording of
the treaty that is what they did do, and
the Commission has just now practically
decided that they made no error. What
they acquired from England they sold to
the United States and thew had the ripht
to transfer. The Canadians have nobody
to blame but their grandfathers who orig
inally made the trade with Russia. When
Seward gave 81, ,OOO, 600 for Alaska the
majority of the people of the United
States wondered what in the world he
had made such foolish bargain for. Per.
haps Mr.. Seward may have guessed that
sometime we might be able to sell that
narrow strip along the coast for an adj
vance over the cost of the whole.

RECORD YOUR DEEDS.

Editor Wilson of the Pink Paper finds
in looking up the records for data in the
construction Of his new county map that
very many people have neglected to have.
the deeds which convey the lands to the
occupants and present owners recorded,
and calls attention to the danger of this
neglect. Some people don't realize what
the real value of recording a deed is;
they seem to think as long as they have
the deed itself, that is all that is neces-
sary. There are two dangers that are
avoided by recording deeds: one, that if
the deed be lost or destroyed that there
is legal record which is of equal value
as the original, that can rarely be lost or
destroyed; and second, that the former
owner cannot, either by error or intent
ionally. deed the land or mortgage it to
third party without the third party hav-
ing legal notice that the land has already
been conveyed. IfA sells or mortgages
land to b. and B does not put his deed
on record, and afterward A sells or mort
cages the same land to c, and c puts his
deed or mortgage on record, then B will
find that he will have a lot of trouble and
likely lawsuit to prove his ownership,
and under some circumstances may find
that c has the best title. AS long as the
deed remains of record in the name of A,
the ownership is presumed to be in A
and the abstract Of title will show it to
be so. We say as does Brother Wilson,
you had better record your deeds. If a,
deed has been recorded, it will show the
certificate Of such record on the outside
Of the document. Ii you have DOUBTS
whether your deed is recorded or not
look for the certificate; perhaps you may
be surprised to find that the certificate is
not there. Some very good business
men forget to record deeds.

w. A. MURPHY.

Undoubtedly the largest funeral that
has ever occurred in Pembipa county. was
that ofC County Treasurer w. A. Murphy
on Sunday last at Neche. Tie day was
very pleasant and hundreds Of teams
from all parts of the county loaded with
friends Of the deceased wended their way
to the funeral and by their presence rend-
cred their last tribute of respdct for the
dead. The actual number Of persons in
attendance is very hard to estimate as at
no time was, the crowd present at any
one place. Good Judges estimated, how
ever, anywhere from three to four thous-
and. The number Of carriages was phe.
nomenal and very many persons came
on the train from the south. Mr.. Murphy
was a member Of several secret societies
sand delegates from these various bodies
were present from as far south as Fargo
and Hilsboro. The Masonic lodges,
who had special charge 81 the services,
were represented BY large delegations
from al over the county as well3as Graf
ton and other points There were about
two hundred Of the Masonic brethren IN
line, besides some thirty IS more 81 the
knight Templars. The services were
held in the Opera House, The largest ~

scores of carriages did not go because OF

and dust to dust" until the resurrection
morn.
Mr.: Murphy was product Of this coun-
ty, as he was brought up here from a
young lad. and as such the people OF this
county had and have the right to be
proud Of his success and sad at his early
decease. Starting as poor boy, he had
achieved competency for himself and
family, though dying in early manhood.
But IN his energetic business life there is
not one taint of undue advantage of the
less fortunate, but many examples of
kindly assistance to those who asked or
needed his friendly or financial assist
ance. Almost any man can be rich if he
will be mean; but this was never said nor
thought of MIR. Murphy. In his multitud-
inous business cares, Mr.. Murphy always
had time to give his friends in social
and genial way, and was very popular
among his friends as q good fellow. He
was not only liberal and interested in all
public matters, but was always leader
in all that was for the good of his town,
his county or his country. Politically he
had attained very high position in the
councils of the republican party and his
loss will be keenly felt by them in the
conventions and in campaign work.
The sympathy Of thousands of friends
has been shown, the procession has re.
turned from the lonely cemetery, each
will speak words of sorrow, and each
will turn to the work before him and
for time will sorely miss the jovial
words and kindly presence Of him that
lies in the narrow grave; but she who
was the companion Of his bosom, and
the dear children who were wont to well
come him home, they have lost part of
their own lives. We that have lost a
friend have lost muchs but the widow
and the tatherless have lost that which
human sympathy and friendship can do
but little to make up; but that, weak as
| II IS, is all that we can give. May God,
In HIS infinite power and kindness, let
the sunshine of His grace tighten the
dark shadow that has fallen over this
household.

GOOD ROADS

The question OF good roads is
disturbing the Boards OF Supervis-
ors of Maricopa and Graham coun-
ties. The same question ought to
disturb the minds of every Board
of Supervisors in the Territory.
Good roads are the greatest factors
in the Upbuilding of any new coun-
try. If company of capitalists
ccme to the Territory and make a
trip over it by team and wagon, it
Is more than likely that the roads
will make the most lasting impres-
sion on them OF any one thing,
especially if they are bad. Good
roads do not bring forth much
comment, but poor ones do.
There are trails called roads in
these parts that should not be
deemed roads at all. Some of these
wagon-smashing, man-killing and
horse crippling thoroughfares are
county roads, too, and under the
supervision of that ever-present
and over-worked public servant,
the road overseer. A road overseer
Is always honest in the perform
ance of two duties. He never fails
to call for the road tax, nor to put
in his report, accompanied by his
bill, to the Honorable Board of
Supervisors.

seers of this section at all. We

have no idea who they are. We
arrived here after the time for the
collection of the regular tax and,
by the way, we have a road tax
receipt for this year. We do not
know just how much is spent by
the taxpayers of the county in q
supposed effort to improve the pub
lie highways, but this county has
about 800 road taxpayers, and
hence it is presumed that at least
$4,000 worth of actual labor is
done, or that amount of money is
collected by the overseers, besides
the levy that is made under Sec
ton 1878 OF the Revised Statutes.
This is big county and it takes
big money to take care of our
roads. We are spending the money,
but we are not getting much care
taken of our roads. 1t is probably
nobody's fault. The law on the
subject Of public roads should be
amended so as to do away with the
old-fashioned road overseer. Just
what system to adopt in it's stead
would he a matter Of considerable
difficulty to decide. It would not
be bad thing to try the method
OF creating the Office of County
Road Supervisor, and allowing the
people to elect a good man to take
charge, of our highways. Roads
could then be made uniformity
good instead of uniformity bad.
Let us have improved roads as
an evidence of our progressiveness.
No other thing can hinder us so
much as bad roads, and we can
have good ones for the same price
as we pay for the poor ones.

The death of Young Robert
Turner and seven miners IN Mon
tana this week strongly emphasizes
the great necessity of every mine
being supplied with liberal num-
Der Of head protectors, which, when
worn, enables q miner to enter a
mine, no matter to what extent the
atmosphere may be impregnated
with smoke, gases or poisonous
air.
The Kearsage mine, Of which
Mr. Turner was superintendent, is
operated principally by tunnel ,and
the buildings at or near the en-
trance of the tunnel were destroyed
by fire. An upraise had been made
to the surface at some distance in
for air purposes. The smoke from
the burning buildings was drawn
in the tunnel, which literally
smothered the miners at work. Mr..
Turner and three miners, in an
effort to reach these men, entered
the mine and were overcome from
the fumes and lost their lives. This
action itself was suicidal, but there
exists in the heart of every miner
the humane desire to aid his i'm
periled brother. Hundreds of sim
liar cases are of record. Such ac-
cidents as occurred at the Kearsage
mine this week are of common oc-
currence, and every mine should
be equipped with every known ap-
pliance to aid the rescuers to reach
the unfortunate men entombed.
Head protectors, SO arranged by
air cells as to form perfect protec-
tion to wearers, enabling them to
remain in almost any kind of foul
air or smoke for several hours, are
on the market.
More thought should be given to
such matters by sUperintendents
of every kind of mining, and the
result would be less loss of life
when such accidents occur
