The Reverend Matthew Mullen Says
Repentance Is an Absolutely NEG

Happiness.

At the Church of the Redeemer the
Reverend Matthew Mullen addressed his
congregation yesterday on Perfect
Peace" He took for his text Isaiah XVI.

he he trutheth IN thee" and said. in part:
IF there be Il life of peace It must be
the life of n whose sky is always blue.
whose pathway stretches across soft,
green meadows, or winds through flower
land: a life spent far from the turmoil and
cares of the w~orkaday, troublesome world.
For this Is the ideal fancy brings oft to
the weary heart. Surely the man who
enjoyed perfect peace was one whose life
was inruffied. Not so. for the prophet was
a reformer. and the pathway of UGH has
never been a smooth one. Centuries before
the reign of Theodore. the firts people
lived the strenuous life" The text comes

NO FRAUD TAINTED

Colorado's Governor-E Elect Moves
for Court Investigation of
Denver Elections.

Denver, Dec. 2S.-Atto4neys Charles
s. Thomas and Samuel w. Bedford filed
a petition in the supreme court today
on behalf Of Alva Adams, the demo-
cratic governor-elect, asking that either
the court or a commission appointed by
the court shall open all Of the 264 bal
lot boxes used in Denver at the late
election and make q thoro examination
Of their contents. The court decided
to hear arguments on the petition later
In the day.
IT have no question about my cleo
ton by substantially the majority re.
ported on the face of the returns, ~
said Governor Adams. 1T believe If
the frauds in outside counties could be
unearthed my honest majority would
amount to 10000. But I want no
tainted seat 1t is of far greater i'm.
portance that extensive election frauds
should be unearthed and punished than
that or any other particular individual
should be sworn in as governor.
1T don't know who committed the al
legged frauds in Denver. [ know nearly
thirty men are in jail ostensibly for con
tempt of court, but really charged with
election crimes. If they are of the
character reported I feel assured thai
there are men at liberty far more de
serving Of Jail than those who are in
caroerated. I feel that some Of those
in jail have been unjustly dealt with
But be that as it may, [ want this In

CHEYENNE REDS
ARE STARVING
Government Withdrew Rations
and Had No Work for
Them to Do.
Special to The Journal.

Rosebud, Mont, Dec. 2s.-Reliabls
information comes here thru an en-
ployee Of the United States Indian de-
partment stationed at the Tongue River
agency that the Northern Cheyennes
are in q pitifully destitute condition.
Commissioner Jones, on the advice Of
J. G. Clifford, Indian agent, ordered
that no food be issued to the Indians
except the very young, the aged and
infrm, basing his action on the theory
that they were self-sustaining.
The Northern Cheyennes are willing
workers, but the government has failed
to give them work, and as the white
settlers can only supply them in hay
ing time, it is apparent how they came
to be in their present destitute condi-
ton.
Complaints are coming in that the
starving Indians are raiding and slaugh-
tering The herds of cattle in the vicin-
ity Of the reservation and trouble 10
feared unless active measures are taken
to remedy their conditions.
C. F. Nisler, an Indian commissioners,
has spent several weeks on the reserva.
tion hearing the complaints OF the
agency employees, settlers and Indians,
and has left for Washington to lay be.
fore the secretary Of the interior the
facts in the matter.

Nearly Every Railroad Into Chi
cago Hit by Storm Tele-
graph Affected.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-As a result of
storm conditions, trains on nearly
every railroad entering Chicago were
from one to four hours behind schedule
today. Great difficulty was expert
enced by railroad officials in securing
teleegraphic reports Of the. movement Of
trains.
Wires were down in many places.
Points IN the northwestern states could
be reached only by circuitous routes.
The mail service of the entire middle
ditions with number of outbound
trains were missed. Railway officials
are hopeful, however, that schedules
will be resumed shortly. There are no
reports OF heavy snow except in the
northwest.
