Sunday Thoughts


WAS 1T a visitation Of Providence
Did the Omnipotent send his messenger Of de-
sucton to speak the dreaddecree that would lay low
hundred human beings and inAict untold loss and
suffering upon the Inflated city Of Snyder
Was Snyder, like sodom and Gomarrah, more
wicked than all the cities of the plain that the Aveng
Ing Dower must be sent TO punish and Destroy
Or was it the working out Of an inscrutable de-
cree Of the Almighty decree bene6cent in its design
vet beyond the power Of finite reason TO fathoms
hundred wears ago, and less among thinkers
Of religious cast Of mind there would have been little
or no hesitancy in answering these questions in the
affirmative little or question that it was the de-
lberate degree OF the Supreme Ruler that desoated
SNYDER and sent hundred of her people into the
Great Beyond. And the preacher Of righteousness
would have painted the moral to adorn the tale, bid
ding men beware of the wrath of the dread Hand that
could wreak such frightful vengeance.
But today enlightened thinkers, Or at least ma
orty Of Them see things differently. As superstition
has been superseded by reason, as science has i'm
folded more cfthemysteries Of the operations ofnature
and.as sounder philosophy and more human, yes a
more divine theology, have entered into the minds OF
men we are lead to more rational explanations Of
these calamties
1t is all speculation, to be sure, and if you think
differently il is your privilege and you entitled tc

are as profound as the mysteries of the socalled

differentiated only by mems different modes Of think

Modern thinkers, in the light of scientific nves

This conception has given away to the idea of God

Denver, Colo, Dec. Presence OF
mind on the part of Miss Mae X. Mac
gregor of the Windy Point school saved
eight pupils from being burned alive
today in a fire which completely de-
stroyed the little school building, To-
Gated twelve miles south of Watkins
station, in Arapahoe county. A de
fective iue caused the fire, which
spread so rapidly that the children
were thrown into a state of panic.
After succeeding in escorting them to
safety, Miss Macgregor, at the risk of
her own life, rushed back into the
building, a mass of flames and smoke,
and succeeded in dragging u two
children who had tainted. AS she
did so the roof collapsed. Miss Mac
gregor is a Denver girl, who graduated
from the East Denver high school last

Jack" Passoo, one of the Oldest miners

the richness of which is causing some
excitement. Some specimens brought
to town show $4,000 in gold INT 1000
ounces in silver to the ton, n Passoo

FINAL GAME OF THE UNIVERSITY
ELEVEN WITH FORT RUSSELL
VICTORY FOR THEFoR-
MER TEAM.
Soldiers outcIassea BY the Well Train
ed and Muscular Team from the
Big State Institution-Gun Club
Medal Shoot Yesterday Morning
Football Game Between Younger
Clubs n Basketball at Night.

Snnewhat- to surprise of many
who say the members of the Fort Rus
sell football team before they appeared
on the field yesterday afternoon, they
were easily the victims of the Univer-
sity OF wyoming team in a very pretty
but one-sided game Thanksgiving aft
ernoon. The soldiers appeared the
heavier of the two teams, and were
rated as the mightier of the two by
many who judged that the enlarged
limbs of the warriors lea stiff and
rigid muscular development. On the
contrary, the members of the team
showed poorly beside the well trained,
wiry little fellows who made up the
opposing team, and they lacked not
well. The game was a good clean ex-
hibition of manly sport, albeit at times
a little rough for II not accustomed
to so much strenuosity, and several
of the players were more or less injur-
ed at times, although none seriously.
One Fort Russell man was carried off
the field with a disabled ankle, anoth-
err suffered some bruises and a univer-
sity man has some loosened teeth. TIL.
game was not the slugging exhibition
the varsity fellows had to participate
in at Fort Collins.
The game began at PAS Thursday
afternoon, with a goodly number of
~rooters present, including some regu-
lar army officers and others from Fort
Russell. The university was represent
ed on both sides of the field by many
enthusiasts and the college yells and
football songs were rendered with the
usual tinhorn accompaniment. At the
request of Captain Heavey who made
the announcement through a mega
phone, the field was kept comparatively
clear at all times, the captain particu-
criticism as came during the late uni
versity-~ Cheyenne high school game.
Most everybody kept off the field, be-
yond the wires, and what few occupied
positions inside the wires did not make
of themselves entire nuisances.
Following is the lineup of the two
teams:
Fort Russell-Barnett, center; Dun
kin, right guard; Watts, left guard;
Fowler, right tackle; Matson, left tao
kle: Mortasten, right end; LaRue, left

ton in 1906. The forenoon session was
devoted to the naming of a time and
place of meeting, the discussion of
this subject lasting for more than an
hour.
Douglas was chosen as the place and
the state fair week, probably early in
October, as the time, although the ex-
act date was not d~einately determined.
Prof. Lee, the Laramie member of the
committee, urged that the meeting be
held here next summer, about the time
of the commencement Of the uniyer'
sity, but he was not strong enough. 1t
was deemed best, in view of the fact
that the association will make a
strong educational exhibit at the state
fair next fall, to meet at the place OF
holding the fair, although it was ex
pressly understood that Douglas is not
to become the permanent meeting
place of the association. 1t is hoped
and believed that the meeting for 1907
will be held in this part of the state.
