LAYS TROUBLE TO RELIGIOUS LAWS.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Should it be permitted. one OF the recently
acquired steady readers Of The Tribune would
like to say word anent the recent and present
atrocities in the East.
The great trouble there arises from tho fact that
the religion OF the Turk Is incompatible with any
other form of belief and still. that the
der Of nOn-be levers Is not only prascwOTthy act.
but one OF religious duty. Their religion IS not
what disturbs others. but what IL enjons and
qulres. Surely the great and dominant power OF
Europe ought to insist upon and enforce. in mat
tiers OF religion, the old and well known legal
maxim. sic utere tue ut a1ienum laedas'

OBITUARY..

Rebekah Hedges Walker was born
in Chicago, Ill. July 3, 1870. Her
early childhood was spent in that
city. At the age of nine years she
moved with her parents TO South Da-
kota where she lived for twelve years.
She was graduated from Redfield col
lege. having completed the Normal
course and carried a part of the Glass
ical course as we'll.
1t was while in college that she met
and became engaged to James F.
Walker. In 1891 she returned with
her parents to Chicago where she be-
came PASTORS asst slant in Lincoln
Park Congregational church.
This position she held for two
years, showing marked ability in the
work and endearing her self to the
people.
In 1894 she married Mr.. Walker and
moved to Willow Lakes, South Dako-
TIA, where Mr.. Walker had been called
as pastor of the Congregational church
at that place.
Failing health compelled Mr.
Walker to give give up the ministry
and after two years of sickness they
moved onto farm.
In 1900 they came to Colorado in
tho hope of improving Mr.. Walkers
health. Mrs. Walker has been in
poor health all summer but her case
was not considered critical till few
weeks ago.
During her residence in Grand
Junction she endeared herself, as she
always has done, to large circle of
friends.
She was one of Gods noblest wo-
men whose lives are always an inspir-
alton and benediction to all with
whom they come in contact.
None knew her but to love her,
none spoke her name but to praise
The sympathy of the whole COM
munity goes out to the stricken hus-
band and two motherless boys whom
she left behind. as well as to the other
relatives in whose lives she had be-
come so large part.

New Gold Fields

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. IS-Fed-
eral officers on the Yukon river
confirm the story that a gold strike
equaling that of the Klondike has
been made in Tanana valley. Two
thousand miners are stampeding
thither from Nome, Dawson, Eagle
and Rampant Some of them will
probably perish, as the weather
throughout the Yukon has been
most severe. The stampeders are
taking only enough supplies to last
them on the journey. This may
endanger the lives of all, since pro-
visions are very short in the new
camp. United States Commission
er Claypool writes from Circle that
600 claims have been recorded in
the new district, which is officially
known as Fairbanks, being named
after Senator Fairbanks.
Bottles of coarse gold have been
brought to Commissioner Claypool,
fully confirming the richness of the
strike. Pedro, Cold Stream and
Pine creeks are the richest streams,
running rs to so cents per pan.

NOTICE TO PUBLIC.

There was no water pres
sure this morning. 1t was due
to the fact that hydrants all
over the city were left open to
prevent freezing. This nearly
drained the reservoir, over half
a million gallons of water be-
ing wasted last night.
Pumping has been continued
almost every night, all night,
last night until II o'clock.
Water waStage must be
stopped if the public desires to
avoid disaster. 1t is better to
pay few cents extra for coal
than to drain the reservoir and
jeopardize the prope rty of the
city, through fires.
