catches Skunk.

Elias Jester, who resides in Milford
Neck, and his son where out on Thurs
day last looking forOppOsum and came
across a skunk den and proceeded TO
capture the animal. Mr.. Jester ran his
hand into the den and grabbing the ami

snow and shot it. He brought it to
Milford and sold to Thad. Windsor for
enc dol ar. 1t was on exhibition in
front of the Windsor Hotel all dav

much squirrel, except that il was
black with two white stripes running
rom the neck in angular shape down |
either side.

have not been apprehended.

A Model Meat Market.

Being saIisfied with nothing short of
the best is the quality that counts in
any profession, calling or business.

Meat Market, South Walnut street has
just installed National Cash Register

this necessary to keep up with the
times and to facilitate the handling of
nis large and growing business. 1t is
because Mr.. Davis has paid such care
ful attention to the needs of his Gus
TONERS in the choice of fresh and salt
meats, sausage, ETC., that has found a
cash register necessity.

IDAHO PRESS OPINIONS.

Idaho papers comments on the action
OF the Democratic convention at Lew
iston and more particularly on the

therein We wish to give our readers
an opportunity to see how the trend of
feeling runs on the matters treated,
and what the result Is likely TO be at
the November election.
The argument used sometimes, that
the Mormon people need not take ex-
ceptions 20 anything aimed against po-
lygamy or church influence IN politics,
seeing that they have relinquished the
former, and deny the existence among
them Of the latter, will not hold good

THE CHURCH SCHOOLS.


Attention Is directed to the report
from President Joshua II Paul Of the
Latterday Saints University to the
Board Of Trustees, large portion OF
which appears in this issue Of the
News the entire report Is published
in pamphlet form by the Board The
subject Of the importance and value OF
church schools and the benefits Of re-
ngious training in our educational es-
Establishments should be kept before the
Latter-day Saints 20 as to have the de-
sired effect,
II should also be made clear that In
advocating the attendance of our young
men and women at the academies, col
leges and universities under the aus
pices Of the Church, there is no inten-
ton to Interfere with or lessen the
value Of the district schools. The
Church institutions are for pupils who
have advanced at least to the eighth
grade and are prepared to enter upon
higher course Of tuition. And 1t Is
considered that religious education
should be feature Of this advance
ment. The arguments of Professor Paul
on this subject are to be strongly COM
mended.
The pamphlet issued by the Beard
mentions the missionary course provid-
cd at the University, which is OF price
less worth TO young people expecting
TO be called to the mission field. II IL
especially fitted to their needs as pre-
paratory training for that which they
VIII have TO meet. IN addition to the
lessons impaired by thorough teachers,
the spirit accompanying the systematic
work Of tuition IS In the highest degree
inspiring and uplifting
Another feature pointed out Is the
class for nursing under the auspices Of
the Relief Society TO which the organi-
cations OF that body in the Stakes and
wards Of the Church may send young
women on terms arranged with the
University. particulars Of which may
be obtained from Mrs. Phebe Beatie,
IS ~ West Temple ST. Salt Lake city.
Prof. j. H. Paul may also be commun-
icated with at the University as to
the classes mentioned and to desired
information concerning all the courses
and classes Of the institution.
The instruction by competent and ex-
perlenced preceptors to provide trained
nurses for the various settlements, and
the class to prepare students for mis-
sionary labor, are no less important
than the regular work of the Uniyer-
sity, and all are commended to the Lat
ter-day Saints as ia the great good
that is being accomplished by the other
Church institutions for the religious
training and the advanced secular edu-
cation of the young people of Zion
The facilities they afford and the splen-
did work they are doing should be
everywhere appreciated and heartily
encouraged.

A PROMISE IN HISTORY.

rs there conflict between the
Christian religion and SCIENCE is a
question that has come up for discuss
sion lately II is a significant fact that
this question always recurs. But
doubt does not give satisfaction.
The human mind VIII never ac-
cept as genuine the imitation dia-
monds found In the quarrles of doubt
and lnhdelity It can never quench It's
thirst in the streams Of knowledge that
are diverted from the channel IN which
are reposing the purifying rocks OF
revelation It knows that culture with
out faith is dead, no matter how beau
tiful and perfect the form may be.
Therefore the question always recurs;
Is there a conflict between religion and
science? Can there be a conflict be-
tween truth and truth-between re-
vealed truth and truth found by pa
tent rational research?
often attention has been called to
the harmony between astronomy and
geology, and the Bible story OF creation;
also to the marvellous testimony Of
archaeology, corroboratiye OF the
Scriptures, even where they seemed to
be at variance with facts supposedly
well established Philosophy, too, has
found its most profound truths con-
corning God man, and their relation to
one another and the universe, In the
revealed statements, and not In the
dreams OF philosophers standing out
side the rays OF revealed religion but
an equally clear testimony Is given by
history perhaps the strongest the
most convincing OF all. In the search
for scientific proofs of the truth Of the
religion of the Bible, history should not
be overlooked A German prince at
one time asked theologian for DEM
onstratlon Of the truth Of the inspired
writer's can you not said he give
me an indsputobe proof Of their
veracty?" Il can" was the prompt re-
ply look at the Jew" That argu-
ment is unanswerable Even higher
criticism" must take II into account

was told by the Most High; Il viii
