SINS OF THE CITY. .
Was the Subject of Sermon by
Rev. o. F. Cook. Minister
Speaks of Vices in Dawson.

Gambling and other vices, which be
declared he understood were being
practiced in Dawson, was the subject
of sermon by Rev. Osgood. f. Cook
at the First Methodist church Sunday
evening.
At the morning service Mr.. Cook
announced that he would speak to his
congregation ia the evening on the
subject, THE sins of the city, and the
duty OF church members" and many
were present at night to hear his SER
mon. His text was found in Nehe-
miah, |, 4: FAnd it came to pass, when
[ heard these words, that I sat down
and wept and mourned certain days,
and tasted and prayed before the God
of heaven"
Mr.. Cook made an application Of the
bodily captivity of Nehemiah's breth-
rem to captivity in sin, and spoke fret
of the sins which he said were holding
many in bondage today, and secondly
of the duty which those not so bound
owed to those committing these sins.
In speaking of the vices prevalent
IN Dawson he dwelG on drunkenness,
violation of the Sabbath, profanity and
gambling, arraigning in no uncertain
terms and defining the upright man S
duty to those who practice such vices
He said in part: "There are those
in Dawson who are corrupting the
purity of youths by their smuttY jokes
and obscene language; there are those
who take the Sabbath only for person
al pleasure, TO read their papers, TO
drive their fast horses through the
streets of the city aud to engage IN
other open violations of the day; there
are prominent citizens of Dawson who
never darken the doors of a church.
Profanity and drunkenness are openly
apparent. \ few days ago l saw a
Young man reeling home to broken
hearted mother, and only last Sunday
heard profanity over the telephone.
1.-THE other day | was told that,
though I might not think so, 1t Is
not merely Indifference that keeps a
number of Dawson's young men from
attending church, but that while di-
vine worship is going on there are
those who are engaged in games OF
gambling"
After discussing at length these
practices Mr. Cook took up the matter
of the church members attitude and
duty towards them, finding prescrib-
ed action in his text. He intimated
that it WAS the upright mans duty, II
other things failed, to report anyone
who was breaking the laws of his state
To the grand jury. "If knew anyone, y

I would sit down and weep and mourn
certain days aud fast and pray to the
God of heaven would appeal to and
demonstrate with him, and if all this
ayailed nothing [ would as last re-
sort, even if the man were my own
brother, report him to the grand Ju-
ry.'

The case was begun more than year

woman seeks to reopen it. alleging that
her former attorney sold her out to the

Supreme Court Justice Davis granted
an order on Miss McNeiliS' former attor-

the papers and testimony in order thar
she may move for rehearing.

said:
The result OF the decision. II 1t be

be far reaching. The decision practically
establishes this:
THAT anything done which will put it
in the power Of any company to RESTRAIN
industry and trade is illegal, even If the
very reverse of such restraint is intend
ed, as has no doubt been the bonatide
purpose of the corporators of the North

cal consequence the power the Pennsyi-
Nania possesses to influence Baltimore
and Ohio and other corporate manage
ments. all the power the New York Cen
trail possesses to direct the Lake Shore,
Michigan Central and the Nickel Plate
Company's management. or the New
