wasn't worth the space. Sometime
since this Office holder, in his capacity

denied by the editor Of the Star. but
the editorial office holder repeated his
assertion with certain comment not
suitable for Sunday school literature.

July 13.-Rain fell steadily here yes
terday, disappointing the soldiers in
camp and the 5000 visitors who came
from Lancaster Harrisburg. Will
Transport, Lock Haven and different
parts of the coal regions. All after
noon the tents were filed with Wis

of the camp without getting wet. As a
result of the bad weather the brigade
dress parade was dispensed with, and
aside from the morning guard mount
there was very little done in camp.
General Goblin and his staff, accom-
panied by the officers of the regular
army stationed here, made an inspec-
tion of the camp. Religious services
were held by the several regimental

conquers / have read a great many
dime novels They are not immoral,
with the possible exception of the
Jesse James Series" Diamond Dick
is not such a bad sort OF a fellow
There is a whole lot of truth in the
clergyman's remarks. Dime novels
may not present a high form Of litera-
ture. but with the exception OF those
stories OF the Jesse James order,
which make heroes out Of desperadoes.
they are not immoral or vicious. When
compared with a lot OF sickening trash
which used 20 represent Sunday
school library. they are really whole
some and exhilarating, because their
pictures of life are nearer the truth.
The educational value Of reading
about a staggering cowboy doing
stunts with Indian braves is greater
than to pour over the woes Of a poor
little cripple boy who is trying very
hard TO be good and who suffers every
torture in consequence, ending the
hH'tAe 'iii2 ny ~ premature hthNu.
Boys and girls are not benefited by
pouring over stories OF abnormal pity,
death-bed scenes and tales of suffer-
ing. They require dash. life and ac-
tion, and as long as these do not make
a virtue Of crime or suggest immoral
tiles, they are not pernicious.
In the good old days OF our fathers
the novel as such was opposed, be-
cause II did not contain the literal
truth. Some concession was made TO
stories like Pilgrims Progress, but the
was not made heartily.
Then came a period when those who
regarded themselves as liberal were
ready TO welcome fiction when assured
that IL contained a religious lesson.
This was followed by a food OF books
intended TO inspire religious enthu-
siasm IN the minds of the young. but
they presented pros
pect of hopeless misery TO those who
tried TO walk I'm the footsteps OF the |
heroes and heroines. The fact is that
we all enjoy a good story. but we OBJ
iect when morals or religion are |
down our throats. II is also
true that few persons regard a story
as good that is immoral. Some one
Carlyle. we think, said: There are
Two kinds of truth; the truth which
IS true and the truth which may be
.rue.' stories which present untruth- |
lul pictures OF life. whether dime nov
als or Sunday school stories. come un-
Ter neither of these classes: they are
'alsehoods.

The Trial Of Jesus Viewed Legally.
From the Church Economist.
Interesting and unusual as an evening
service was the one held at the Bethany
Presbyterian Church, of New York. when
Walter NJ Chandler, Esq, Of the New
York bar, delivered his lecture on "The
Trial OF Jesus from a Lawyers Stand
point This lecture, while reverent and
devout in It's character, Is a strong presen-
taton of the totally Illegal nature OF that
trial. Mr. Chandler tells In brief and point
ed fashion just what was the Jewish law
about such trials, and shows that almost
every step taken at that time was viola
tion Of that law From the Roman stand
point. the arraignment before Herod and
PLATE could not be designated as trials at
all.

woman's Undyina Love.

From the Church Eclectic.
Every woman Is an aristocat ait heart
and demands homage. Every woman is
born with the dove Of rule. Every woman
Is imperial in her instincts: no woman is
happy until she has proved her power
TO rule; no man Is really happy until
he has submitted himself TO a good wo-
mans rule. Beauty ds evanescent. even
if h is loaned TO a woman IN her youth
when is not always the casc-ten, twenty
years at the utmost, and it IS faded-but
the love Of rule never dies out

JUDGE GRAY SUGGESTED.

The Philadelphia Record says II the
Democratic leaders IN Pennsylvania be
looking about for Presidential timber
they need not go FAR aneld. what's the
matter with Judge George Gray. for
instance
We are not I'm the business Of sug-
gesting or interfering IN Democratic
nominations. but we do not think the
Democratic party could do better. II
judge Gray is not regarded as avail
able il is because be has done some
thing. and done it as strong man
should. There are evidences that the
Democratic party is looking for a
nonentity. 1t nailed its flag to the
Bryan mast when that leader was an
unknown quantity. II took eight years
and Two good trouncings TO convince
u OF error Now the leaders are hirt-
ling with their Parkers and their
Clarks. when. as the Record intimates.
Delaware has Presidential timber,
sound and well seasoned.
Frankly. we should like to see Judge
Gray the nominee. His record has
been such that his party would honor
itself IN honoring him. II would make
an interesting campaign for US. w,
do not think he could carry the cleo
torai vote Of his own state. and under
present circumstances IL does not seen
that he would have a ghost OF

after the affair as possible the police
were notified and he was arrested.
Friends gave bond for his appearance
and he was released by Judge Mann
until yesterday morning.
Because of the fact that he and
Mr.. Dunnigan are related, being
brothers-in-law, Judge Mann decided
not to try the case, but ordered it ta-
ken before Judge Fraser. County At
torney Harris was informed of the
change and yesterday filed a COM
plaint under the state law against
Thurmond and he was rearrested on
warrant charging assault in the third
degree.
Upon his arraignment the defendant
took the statutory time in which to
enter a plea.
Mr.. Dunnigan was positive in his
Identification of Thurmond as the per-
son who assaulted him and his wife,
as was also Mrs. Dunnigan, who said
that the man who assaulted them was
a large man who had been formerly
a policeman. Thurmond is almost
twice the size of Dunnigan and the
latter under hardly any condition
| would be match for him. In addition
to this the manner in. which he was
! taken by surprise made defense out
of the question.
1t was said yesterday that because
of the resemblance of the hat Mrs.
Dunnigan wore to one owned by Mrs.
| Thurmond, Thurmond made the sad
mistake that resulted so disastrously
to two innocent persons.
Thurmond was arraigned this morn
ing and entered plea of not guilty
His trial was set for tomorrow after.
noon at o'clock.
1t is said that the defendant claims
mistake has been made all around
While Dunnigan was evidently a vic
tim of mistaken identity, the man
under arrest says the former errs
when he accuses him of having been
his assailant, as he is prepared tc
nesses who will testify that at the
time the assault is said to have been
committed he was in a saloon on the
south side.

Deputy Game Warden's Experience
With Gang Of Italians.

Deputy Game Warden Smith OF
Billings came down Saturday and
went to Tusler for the purpose of ar
resting an Italian laborer of the North
ern Pacific force, who was wanted
for killing prairie chickens in viola
tion of the law, says the Yellowstone
Journal. Smith found the person
wanted, but when he attempted to ar
rest him the other Italians crowded
around after their usual manner with
knives, stones and sticks, but mostly
knives, and threatened his life. He
beat retreat and came up on a
freight train and enlisted the aid OF
Sheriff Savage. They returned to
Tusler yesterday morning, but the
man had been transferred to Colgate.
They went through to Glendive and
returned to Colgate, where it was
found the fellow wanted had skipped
out.
Smith returned to Miles City last
night.
