NOTES AND COMMENTS

Gods promise to Paul that he
should witness for Him in Rome was
kept AS our lesson shows, the apos-
tie considered that he was there to
witness for Christ more than he was
to defend himself. Though a pris-
oner, he preached the Gospel effect
lively. He did not allow his bonds to
hinder him. but made even them help
him (phil. l:12, lS). He illustrated
the truth of the proverh: Where

Sent Him Up Gallery.

When Representative Hinshlw of
Nebraska reached Washington at the
opening of the session, fresh from the
state so lately redeemed from populism
and whiskers. some wag armed him
with q. card admitting him to the spec
tatOrs' gallery. This card he exhibited
TO the door keepers, and being a new
member and unknown he was prompt
ly directed upstairs. 1t was practically
deserted when he entered, and, as he
looked down on the busy scene he fe't
a,ggrieved that his membership card
did not entitle him to the privilege of
nringling with the members on the
floor.
Say" remarked the new Pledged rep
resentatiVe, as he sorrOwfully depart
ed from his lonely vigil, chow long does
a new member have to be in congress
before he is entitled to the privileges
of the floor? I want to select good
seat and get to work
Explanations and apologies followed,
and Mr.. Hinshaw was soon busting
around the chamber. His feeling Of
homesicltness has gradually disappear
ed but whenever he glances up at that
particular gallery he finds it neces AIRY
to repress an involuntary shudder as
he recalls his first experience in the
national house.-New York Tribune.

STEER TYING CONTEST
A Good Exhibition at EastlaKe Park
Yesterday.

The steer tying contest at Eastlake
park yesterday afternoon was fairly
well attended and was greatly enjoyed
by those present, as it afforded good
sport and there was an unusually large
number of contestants. The manage
ment was under Marion Mccain and
Mr.. Baker, and nothing occurred
to interfere with the programme ar
ranged.
The purse for first prize was worth
contesung for, as it was but little less
than 5000. 1t was divided however,
between Walter Davis and Joe Bas-
sett, each of whom threw their steer
in IS seconds and they divided the
money instead of trying out each other
There We're. fifteen contestants, and
the time made was as follows: Wal

but failed to down their steers within

cured.
There was also good exhibition of
bronco riding, participated in by Frank

GRIEF OF ELKS
Continued from Page One)

studied and practiced the more fascin-
ating, lofty and sublime they become
BY the highest obligations known
among men we are bound to each 9TH
er, by ties stronger than iron bars.
Perhaps no secret organization Of men
upon this earth was ever founded upon
principles which approach nearer the
embodiment of the higher life" than
those comprising the basic foundation
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks: Charity, Justice. Brother
ly Love, Fidelity. To raise the fallen,
to strengthen the weak to contribute
without ostentatiOn to deserving need
especially to go tenderly to the bed
side of a stricken brother and. if ii be
the will of Providence, to nurse him
back to health again. Or if-not-if the
shadows of death do hover near, to
still tenderly nurse him till the mantle
of eternal night spreads over the glaZ-
ed eyes and pulseless heart. Then, as
tenderly to lay the body of our loved
and lost brother away in that dream
less sleep that knows no waking. Ana
then if possible, nobler still-to care
fully provide for his grieving widow
and orphans, with high resolve that no
wolf scratches at the door of their
home. nor gaunt want fingers as
shadow in their pathway. But more.
our beloved order inculcates the high
est type of patriotism. The flag OF
the republic Grapes in glory our affairs,
and love of the country and its insti-
tutions is the idol that finds worship
in the temple of our hearts. But more
still-and here you will pardon me is
II quote the beautiful words of our
Past Grand Exalted Ruler Pick
EFT: The portals of Elkdom arc
thrown wide TO all manly applicants.
1t draws no distinction. In the democ-
racy of our ideas. in the republic of our
government, all are equal. Our order
is constructive and not destructive.
The spirit of iconoclasm dwells not
within its circle. 1t molests no temple,
Gesecrates no altar. prOfanes no sane
tuary. 1t robs no man of his faith,
attacks no creed. crticiSes no sect.
1t shadows no dawn, darkens no hope,
saddens no love. 1t does not seek -
supplant the church or usurp it's func-
tons. Its religion is humanity. It's
creed is friendship. It's golden rule is
the love of fellow men"
Now, these are the loftiest principles
developed in all the ages-by any and
| all civilizations. They are the touch
and inspiration of our Elkin life. II
faithfully practiced as well as adher-
ed to. our noble order will become q
mighty factor in moulding the higher
national life and destiny. Their goal
| is the spotless Iife-in the pure exalted
realms, where justice ever dwelleth and
where virtue hath her home.
Now, in conclusion: God has written
upon the dew that nourishes the violet,
upon the flowers that sweeten the air,
upon the raindrops that swell the
mighty river. upon the ocean that
rocks every swimmer in it's channel
and sings continuous requiems to
those that slumber in it's bosom. upon
| the great sun that warns and cheers
the millions that live in its Highland
upon the soul of all true, brave men

WILLIAM M. SPRINGER DEAD.
FOR Many Years He Represented the Spring
field nl.) District in Congress and
Was Prominent Democrat

Washington, Dec. 5.-Former Rep
resentative William NJ. Springer, Of
Illinois, a democratic leader conspicu-
Gus in the house OF representatives
during the Forty-fourth to Fifty
third congress, inclusive, and once
chairman of the ways and means
committee OF the house, died at his
residence in this city yesterday, aged
ga years. His death was due to pneu-
monia contracted in Chicago Thanks

this city during the past few years
following his retirement from con-
gress and has followed the practice Of
law begun at Springfield, ILL.,, before
his congressional career begun. He
has represented many Of the Indian
claims before the interior department
and before the federal and local courts
here. The funeral arrangements have
been placed in the hands Of a local

READS LIKE FICTION.
James L. Blair's Case Has No Par
allel in History.
rhe Son OF an Honored BIissourian and Q
Leader in Business Life. He Is Accused
OF Secretly Robbing While Openly
Posing as Model Citizen.

St Louis, Dec. 5.-Students of crimi-
1al history say the Blair case has no
parallel in truth or fiction. The indict-
ment Of James l. Blair was the culmi-
patton of long list of most sensation
al developments. His alleged wrong
doings up to three months ago were
known to very few people, and they
were making strong effort to suppress
the rumors which began to be circu-
lated. Blair, as general counsel of the
worlds fair, and because of the prom
inent part he had played for years in
demanding reforms of various kinds,
was numbered among the leading citi-
zens of St Louis. Mrs. Apolline Blair,
the accused mans wife, was the presi-
dent Of the board of lady managers of
the worlds fair, and was the social
leader Of the exclusive set Their beau
tiful country home, Stancote, at Kirk
wood, since its purchase In 1888, had
been the scene of many elaborate so
cial functions, and had become widely
known because Of its splendid appoint
ments. Gen. Frank p. Blair, father Of
James L. Blair, was a national charac-
fer

REPORT ON THE NAVY.
Over $4,000 Men Are In Uncle Sans
Service on the High Seas-12
Per Cent. Desert.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Secretary Of
the Navy Moody, in his annual report.
refers at length to the organization Of
the navy department. AS the naval
establishment grows in importance,
he says, and the amount of public
money devoted to its maintenance is
increased, its proper administration
justly becomes an object Of solicitude.
1t is gratifying to note that the per-
centage of citizenship in the enlisted
force of the navy is steadily grow
ing. The number of enlisted men in
the service June 80, 1903, including
petty officers, seamen and other rat
ings, landsmen for training and ap-
prentices was 27,245. Of this number
1913 per cent were native-born and
1913 per cent. naturalized citizens, the
total percentage of citizenship being
therefore 90.7 per cent, as compared
with SO per cent. at the beginning of
the fiscal year.
The maximum percentage of deser-
tons under peace conditions is little
less than II per cent, the minimum
little more than 9 per cent and the
normal between II and IL per cent.

THINKS PAPERS ARE FAULTY.
GOV. Odeli. of New York. Intimates That
He Will Not Honor Gov Dockerys
ReQuisition for ZiegIer.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. S-The requisi
ton of Gov. Dockery, of Missouri, upol.
Gov. Odell, for the extradition to that
state Of William Ziegler, of New York
city, upon an indictment in Cole coun-
ty, Mo-, on the charge of furnishing
funds for the bribery of Missouri legis-
lators in connection with baking pow
der legislation, was the subject of q
hearing before the governor Monday.
The Missouri authorities were repre-
sented by Attorney General Crow and
Judge T. B. Harvey, of Missouri, and
Sheriff Smith, of Cole county. Mr..
Zeigler was present in person, and his
counsel, John M. Bowers, Delaney
Nicoll, Edward Lauterbach, William J.
Underwood and John D. Lindsay.
Mr.. Bowers first demanded to know
upon what dates the Missouri authori-
ties alleged Mr.. Ziegler was in the state
of Missouri and committed the alleged
crime. upon blank dates in March,,
1901" replied Attorney General Crow
Here followed spicy wrangle between
Mr.. Bowers and Gen. Crow, which Gov.
OdeA interrupted, saying: Come, now,
gentlemen, let us come down to the
meat OF the matter. 1t seems to me
now that the papers in this case are not
regular in that they do not allege the
date when the defendant was in the
state of Missouri, committing this
crime. l think that If the defendant
was not in the state of Missouri at
the time Of the committing of the crime.
then it is my duty to defend him. A
very bad precedent might be estab-
lished by permitting a citizen to be
taken from this state on an insufficient
basis Of fact. -
In his statement Mr.. Ziegler denied
emph atically that he had committed
any bribery or that he was a fugitive
from justice and declared that the
whole proceeding was a malicious act
Of oppression inspired chiefly by his
personal enemies. AT the close of the
hearing Gov. Odell said he would give
the Missouri people two weeks in
which to submit briefs and Ziegler's
counsel two weeks after that in which
to answer them.

COTTON INDUSTRY DEPRESSED
Owing to the Cost of the Raw Material
Mills Will Have to Curtan
Production.

Boston, Dec. 5.-That widespread
curtailment of production by cotton
mills In the United States will be found
necessary during the next few months
on account of the great cost of the
raw material is the opinion of leading
mill men in this city, from which the
policy of many cotton mills i'll the
north is directed. The market for fin
ished material has been unsatisfactory
for months and prices have not risen
correspondingly with those of cotton.
The mills in New England employ
fully 175,000 hands, $4,000 of whom
have had their wages reduced ten per
cent. this fall and $4,000 additional
will be cut within the next two weeks.
