Again, one of the best possibles lines for a young man to have out is a wide and agreeable circle of acquaintance in his own field; these Friends make the best of references and are the best of advertisers for the young man who may be seeking betterment of Lis condition.
 But in the main the young man seeking new opportunities will find individuality in the want of advertisement a paying venture.

No matter how deserving may be the individual who has benefited by the increase, no person ever before in the position got as much and in all probability no person ever again may earn as much in the place. But this increase Tn salary of an individual al- ways thereafter attaches to the position itself and to promote a man to a vacancy In such a place. cutting the pay, is at ence a dash of cold water and profound Encouragement, writes John B.

 It will be granted that most employees are looking out for larger salaries and greater profits. It may be overlooked by the average emp1oye that the employers one recourse in this direction is in cut ting salaries, getting larger returns from his employees in service received, or at the least in keeping salaries at their fixed levels All this applies necessarely to the average salaries employe who has more or less a fixed routine and work; it is scarcely within his powers by even Ti- tanic efforts to increase his employers in- come until an increase in salary will ap- pear a bagatele: the opportunity to ac- complish such results is further up the line of promotions. He is in the posi- tiol of doing the fixed work that scores and hundreos of thousands may do all most as well for as little and for even less money; he is one of the many who must work for as little as they will in order that the employer can pay the few as much they demand.
 To the young person in business life who is considering change of employ CTS and not of employment his own well fare must be of first consequence to him; he will be allowed the privilege of con siderlng 1t unless he shall allow himself to stoop to underhand methods. Let him be well assured of hs own reasons for change and in this 1t should not be for gotten that money is frequently a poor measure of the desirability.

 Thus, when I began the study of the tragic events of Joshua's life l did not think they were very unusual. 1T Joshua by the strength of his own arm had won the battles they would have been won derful. but the victories were not won alone by the Jewish captain.

 When I see the destruction of the city of Al, I know 1t was not Joshuas work but Gods. When I hear the crashing of the walls of Jericho, l know 1t was not Joshua's act, but Gods.

Sixty Years In Russian Prison. Dr p. J. Dillon in Harper's Magazine for
 March,
 A Russian of today who. without leav- ing his church, breaches unorthodox so- briety truthfulness, honesty, and clean living, attracts his fellow men and makes them better than he found them. is com plained of by the priests. and whirled away to the clolster prison. There he is no longer thrust into 'stone sack" as in olden times, but immured in bare, narrow cell, the walls of which are slimy with ooze. The one little light aperture has three window frames-two iron grat- ings and a pane of semiopadue green ish glass. He is denied pen and paper, is forbidden to talk with the guards re- ceives no letters or writes any, and for feits his very name, in lieu of which he has a number. Tn a word, he Is dead, and Is waiting only to be buried From time to time a priest may enter his cell and exhort him to abandon his 'error." but after the first few months even this op- portunity of hearing a human voice Is taken away. and he is left with only such hope as death may fulfil And some of these obscure martyrs have waited long for that merclful end.

Los Angeles, Cal, February 19.-The preacher takes occasion. in view of the approaching celebration of Washington's birthday. to remind the nation of it's in- debtedness to God throughout its his- tory for the same care and protection that he vouchsafed to his people at a crisis of their national affairs The text is Joshua K, 12. sun stand thou still up on Gibeon, and thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon"
 This week we celebrate once more the national festival which appeals to the heart of every patriot. Thcre Is no date in our history that compares with it in it's claims on our reverence. In honoring the birthday of the Father of His conn- try we contradict the reproach that re- publics are always ungrateful. Never so long as this nation lasts will the memory of George Washington lose its luster The greater and the stronger and the more influential we become among the peoples of the earth the more illustrious will be the position we accord to the man whom God raised up at the birth of this nation to win for us freedom and in- dependence. Many great and good men have arisen to serve Us since that time linen renowned in war, men sagacious in statesmenship, men of patriotic fervor We thank God for them but 1t Is to that we turn with grateful reverence who, in the darkness and disaster of our coun- try's fortunes, held fast his faith and kept his brave heart undismayed.
 It is with no desire of belittling his achievements that we trace his power to accomplish them to a higher source. He never failed to acknowledge that 1t was by the help of God that he won his victories. If Washington had not had unwavering faith In God, his courage and fortitude would have failed under the trials he had to endure There were mighty forces contending on Lis side that did for him more than his poor ragged soldiers could accomplish. The heavenly cohorts were fighting on his behalf, and in stirring up enemies of the great power with which he was contending reduced the enemys capacity to oppose him and enabled him to overcome. It was the providence of God that gave him the vie- tory, as long centuries earlier 1t had en- abled the general who commanded the feeble forces of the Hebrews to overcome the giants of the Canaanites. God does interfere in human affairs, as history
 proves again and again. Washington found in the hour of his difficulty, as Joshua found in his campaigns that in the Lord of Hosts was his supreme sup port.
 I choose today this story of Joshua as | topic for our thoughts because It em- | phasizes with oriental imagery the great | lesson of Washington's career. Ihe materialist who would exclude God from | his universe is met here in ancient and l in modern history with the sublime truth that the divine sympathy is on the side , | of righteousness and that God is able
 by his infinite power to give victory to | the weak who trust in him.

Man,s InsianifIcance.

Mans lnSi9nIIICdnCCs
 One reason given for the noninterfer- euce of God in human affairs Is that man Is an inhnitesimal Though man as a finite cannot drop a fathom line long enough to sound the bottom of God s
 deep seas of mysteries, that does not prove that these divine mysteries are
 not true. Because many Of the leadlnB
 scientific men of England doubted the
 practicality of George Stephenson ln-
 vention, that did not make the iron
 traces within which was harnessed the locomotive any less strong. Because for
 years and years Cyrus Fields attempt to marry the old world to the new with the wedding ring of an Atlantic cable
 was the butt and ridicule of thousands
 of unbelieveing tongues, that did not make the possibility of sending a mes sage under the seas any less an unattain- able fact Because we cannot explain to the satisfaction of the skeptics this
 miracle of the sun standing still, shall
 we abandon our faith in Gods proyi- dence? Shall we not rather remind them that in their own national history his in- terference on their behalf of the weak
 was displayed no less conspiciously and no less effectively?
 God has omnipotent power oser the
 forces of this world-the socialistic, the atmospheric and the angelic as well as
 the astronomical-and time and again
 he has compelled them to bend the knee for the aid of men. In this sermon l am going to show you that though man may seem to be insignificant. yet ke is not so in reality. Man is so important In God eyes that God Is ready to do everything possible in his interest and for his salva- ton He has not shrunk from the sac rifice of his only begotten Son, who is
 vet to become King of kings and Lord of all.
 Let us first see how God has exalted mans throne above the stars. Let us
 study from the astronomical telescope
 how man instead of being mere non descript, a being unthought of, an unre- cognizabe, a forgotten pygmy in an un- known world, swinging out upon the out skirts of the universe, is mrre important than all material worlds and more im- portant than any other creature living this side of the New Jerusalem Let us enter the throne room of the heavens and see how in the past for mans good, the stars have wheeled into line and obeyed Gods behests. even as torch light procession might march past the re-
 viewing stand of a King or President. Man a mere flondescript on the out skirts of the universe? If he is, how can you account for the order of the crea- tion? As a bridegroom prepares home for his bride God prepared this world for the habitation of man. He made the sun and the moon, the one to light the day the other to guard the night He spake
 and the dry land appeared. He swung out into the heavens the myriads of
 stars He upholstered the sky with cur tains of blue. He carpeted the fields with grass. He made the hillsides great wood- land temples. Then God made the songs ters to sing. After God had created the
 heavens and the earth and all that in them nlra 1ucfn

&c. w. Evans has won the case of
Conley VS.. Evans in district court ap-
pealed from the county court. Con
ley sued Evans to recover $500 com
mission on a land deal The point of
law on which the case was decided,
was to the effect that the contract had
expired before Conley secured buy

to sell. Then Couley sued for com

desire to say in reply to this that
the facts are, this case was dismissed
by the district court on the ground
that while the original contract be-
tween myself and Mr.. Evans was in
writing, it had expired, and the court
held that an extension of time could
not be done by parole agreement.
There was no evidence submitted. Be
that it was questionable whether or
not the court would hold such an eX-
tension good, and as to whether or
not | shall ever be able to collect any
thing from Mr.. Evans in this case is
vet to be determined, but whether I
do or not, the decision does not
change the moral obligation of Mr..
| Evans nor his conduct in this matter
and in order that the public may know
the facts I have the following afti-
davits from reliable men:
One from b. f. Reed to the effect
extended the time of sale, and agreed
to pay 100000.
One from the buyer to the effect
that Evans offered him a 500 in
| ducement to not close the deal then,
and he Evans, would let him have
| Tannehill.
And one from Geo. Williams to the
effect that Evans told him, after sued
him, that he did give Conley further
time, but that Conley did not make
him sign contract over again.
| could produce many others.
II might appear to some that 5000
! is 4 large commission for the sale of
one farm, but If it is too large COM
! pensation, then it was too much for
Mr., Evans to offer, and the reason of
this contract was on account OF the
poor crops in that vicinity and for
that reason it was very hard to sell
the land and an agent was apt to lose
his customers by taking them in that
direction. j. II. COnley.

THE j. P. BRIDGE IS FIXED
TRAINS CROSS THE ELKHoRN
AGAIN YESTERDAY.
WORST OF THE RISE is PAST

Waters are Subsiding and the Bridge
Gang viii Complete it's Work on
the Structure Today-Damaee ny
Rise Not Large.
The Union Pacific bridge across the
Elkhorn has been made safe by the
bridge men and is again being crossed
by the trains of that line between this
city and Columbus. The pile driver
and force of workmen had the shaky
tmbers braced or replaced so that
their work train came up on it yester-
dey, about noon, and Immediately af-
terward the passenger left for the
south, returning at the usual time last
night. This morning the bridge men
resumed their work and expect to
have the structure permanently re-
paired by tonight so that they can
leave for headquarters.
For the last several years the I'm
ion Pacific people have had consider
able trouble with their bridge across
the Elkhorn. The river changed its
channel, making bridge necessary
and handsome steel structure was
erected Since then the current of the
river has almost worked its way out
from under the new bridge.
The worst of the rise is evidently
passed and the water is falling. The
flood resulted in no large damage to
railroad, county or farm property, al
though the gurgling current ate into
the banks at places and gave indica-
tion of what might have happened had
there been greater or more pro-
longed flood.
