Save for my daily range
 Among the pleasant fields of Holy Writ' I might despair. -Tennyson. Third Quarter. Lesson VIII. Jeremiah xxxvf, 2f-22, August 20, 1905.
 JEHOIAKIM BURNS THE WORD OF GOD.
 Jehioakim Is type of the sinful soul asserting itself in terror and wrath against the righteous judgments of God. His fate Is a terrible example of the folly of doing so. A merciful Provi- dence had given him every opportunity of repentance. God had allowed him to be dethroned. put in irons. his face set toward Babylon. Then came an un- expected reversal of fortune-libera- ton and re-enthronement. Gods hand ought to have been recognized, but was not, Neither severity nor goodness af- fected his obdurate heart.
 In the present instance the threaten ing prophecies. so lately and publicly read, could not long, ih the nature of things. be secreted from the king. But his courtiers approached him with com summate skill. They left the scroll be- i hind, lest the very sight of 1t should in- flame him. They secreted the prophet and his amanuensis, lest the king in his rage should kill him. They at tempted to break the burden" Of the prophet in the softest manner possible, in hopes that his stubborn win would yield and disaster be averted.
 n The king was seated in the winter |residence portion of. the palace. which was itself the target for the prophets shafts--a house with spacious apart ments and airy balconies, ceiled with cedar. painted with vermilion. but built
 with enforced and unrequited labor The strategy of the nobles availed nothing fin this instance The king was in a passion at once. He demanded to
 soc the scroll. When three or four
 columns were read he could endure no more. In spite of the entreaties which
 his princes had the courage to make.
 with the deliberation of an implacable
 malice he prepared to destroy the parchment. Taking scribe's knife. sharp for mending pens and making
 erasures. he began cutting the odious
 document into shreds. and kept drop
 ping it, piece by piece. into the bra zier of live coals and waiting till each had shriveied up before he dropped
 another, until the whole was consumed.
 He would have dealt in the same man.
 ner with Jeremiah and Baruch If he could have laid hands upon them. But
 how secure are they whom the Lord hides!
 Doubtless the king congratulated
 himself upon the total destruction of
 the hateful writings. How brief the
 respite. The scroll was a phenix. It
 rose from its own ashes. Not sylla-
 ble was wanting. Aud there were ter
 rible additions, to the effect that the
 land should be entirely desolate, that
 no descendant of the king should per-
 manently sit upon his throne. and that
 his corpse should meet a fate peculiarly
 revolting to the Oriental mind.

He Was for Some Time . Popular Train
 Conductor.


 News was received in Montgomery yesterday of the Ndeath of MT. George Rambo, formerly well known res- ident of this city. His friends will be grieved to learn that Mir. Rambo died Monday night fin a hospital in Brook lyn, N. Y, where he had been carried for treatment for heart trouble.
 / Until two years ago the years of Mir. Rambo's life had been spent in Mont gomery. He was for a number of years a popular railroad conductor and at other times/a trusted employe of the Southern Express Company. He was a man of strong character and attractive nature and he had drawn about him during his life in Montgomery a circle of strong friends.
 MT. Rambo, moved by his failing health, went to Florida to live. He had established a beautiful and com fortable home at Miami, Fla, when the last attack of an illness which had been extended over a period of three years seized him. To consult with and to secure the attention of the best spe- cialists of the country MT. Rambo.' &C., companied by his wife, went to Brook lyn, where the end came. The remains were laid to rest at Bloomflelds, N J.
 MT. Rambo Is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lees, member of prom inent family at Leesburg, Fla A brother, Dr. Louis Rambo, of Montgom- cry, also survives him. His father, Dr. Samuel Rambo, preceded him to the grave by two years.

it in rhetorical way For example. at first blush 1t seems to fit in sfngu- larly clever manner the so-called higher critic. He is apparently engaged in cutting the Bible to pieces. And to all intents and purposes his work is as futile as that of Jehoiakim's pen-knife. On tho other hand, to disaf1ow the correct and reverent application of the working principles of literary criticism to the Scriptures Is to put them in the category with the golden plates of the
 Mormon Bible. R The verified and assured conclusions of scientific criticism must be received or the church and the individual falls

 The knife and fire were so very handy. Sight of them suggested the means of destruction. The angry king snatched the knife from the scribe's girdle. And there stood the brazier of red hot ooals. The implements of vice are rightly banished by law. Men act largely by suggestion. Out of sight Is to be out of mind for most. The saying that opportunity makes thieves is not strictly true: but all will agree that 1t
 is we'll to have the opportunities re- duced to a minimum.

kEokUk WANTS MACHINES.


Keokuk Gate City.-Ottumwa has
invested in seven voting machines and
will give them the first official test
at the municipal election in March
A sample machine was used at the last
general election in one precinct, and
one minute after the polls were closed
the result was compiled and an
nounced. That experience seems to
have been SO satisfactory that machine
made votes will be recorded in all the
precincts at the city election 1t has
been arranged that the voters will
have an opportunity to familiarize
themselves with the use of the ma.
chimes several days before the cleo.
ton.
1t is learned from the Courier that
the seven machines will cost the city
$4,000 or $500 each. The first pay.
ment is due April 1 and the time of
payment is extended over seven years
making annual payments of $500. 1t
is estimated that the savings to the
city from the use of the machines will
approximately pay for them. This
saving will come in shorter hours for
clerks, judges and policemen to man
the polls, reduced expense in printing
and other incidentals. Isn't it about
time Keokuk was availing itself of the
advantages voting machines afford?

s1oEssEL,s RETURN HOME.

Stoessel, the defeated, arrived at st.
Petersburg yesterday. At the station
he was met, as he had been at every
stop along the route home from the
scene of his defeat, by crowds of peo-
pie, citizens in private life, who be-
lieve in him and sympathize with him
in this, his hour Of greatest trouble.
But the faces he wished to see, the
faces the sight Of which would have
brought look Of joy to his own coun-
lenance and gladness to his heart,
were not among those which welcomed
him. Two representatives Of the ad-
miralty. in formal way, received him
when he left the train at the Russian
capital. but his brother officers were
not there. In no more pronounced
way could he be made to feel the dis
grace that his defeat and surrender
have caused him.

der are many and varied. His own
has not yet been told, except partially.
Others. however, men who held in
ferior positions in the defending force

A GOLD MINE in IOWA.

Des Moines Register and Leader
1t was an Iowa lawyer who estimated
that if the entire 1904 corn crop of
this state were to be transported
across the continent the head engine
of the first train would be whistling
for the San Francisco ferry as the
lights of the rear caboose of the last
train flashed by the station at Bangor,
Maine. The estimate has caused con-
siderable discussion. but little fig
uring will prove that it is not exag-
gerated.
Taking his tip from the Iowa law
yer, Frank G. Carpenter has figured
that if the entire corn crop of the
United States were to be loaded in
wagon and start eastward from the
Mississippi valley the first wagon
would have gone around the world
twelve times before the last had cult
the banks of the Mississippi. The

their criticisms of the general. Their
duties did not include the responsible
,ity for the troops which manned the
fortress. Their authority was not such
that they knew all the facts connected
innumerable worries and conflicting
emotions that racked the brain of the
commander. 1t is not strange that
they should, now that they no longer
feel the strain of the siege, pour forth
criticisms and charges of cowardice
upon the head of their general. In al
lowing themselves to do it they are
proclaiming themselves less of men
than they should be to be officers in
the army of a mighty nation, even if
t,.eir stories are true.
But it will be well for the world to
withhold Judgment of General Stoes-
sci until he shall have an opportunity
to make a statement for himself The
world knows that the defense Of the
fortress, through months when each
day was expected by war experts to be
the last, was one of the most wonder
full and bravest incidents Of modern
warfare. The world knows that the gen
eral makeup of the Russian army Is
not Of such high standard that had
not the defending army been com
manded by an able general there is
every reason to believe that the de.
rerters would have been many. Some
one is entitled to the credit for the
wonderful defense that was made and
until 1t is proven that he is not
worthy of that credit the world will
accord it to Stoessel.
