PASTOR B|GELOW ON LIFE AND RELIGION

Cincinnati, Jan. lS.--At the Vine
Street Congregational church last
Sunday Herbert S. Bigelow, the pas
tor, took for a text Kipling's line
"They! If their own front door is
shut, they'll swear the whole worlds
warm" Mr.. Bigelow said in part.
What you want in a machine is the
maximum amount of power with the
least possible waste. 1t is not enough
that the engine is able to pull the
load. How much coal does 1t con-
sumo? How much friction is there?
Human society is a machine that
must submit to the same test AS to
the many triumphs of our civilization
we may agree. But what is the per-
centage of loss? What is the cost ?
Nay, is it not obvious that there is a
serious flaw in the work?
The past week man was arraigned
in the local police court for stealing
coal. He had no work and his wife
and a sickly daughter were suffering
with the cold. Therefore. he helped
himself to coal from a railroad train
But he was not sent to the work
house. The judge said; 81 don't
know what l would do If were
placed in a similar position"
1t would seem that there is some
thing out of order when the deca-
logue will not work. why do we APP
prove of the humanity of this judge
Is it not because we have a vague
| consciousness that the misery which
drove this wretch to steal is itself the
consequence of other and more re-
spectacle forms of stealing?

Free Telephone Exchange.

A free telephone exchange has been
put in at Independence, Dallas and
Monmouth for the benefit of the sub
scribers of these three towns, and
now they can enjoy telephone service
at either of these places free of
charge. Formerly the regular rates
were in vogue, but the Pacific States
Telephone company are a progressive
concern, and whenever the greatest
good can be done for both the pa
irons and the company they always
stand ready to meet the demand.
This new three-town exchange has
been wanted for number of years
and not until recently has the COM
pany seen the way clear to grant it.
The move is greatly appreciated by
the patrons, and no doubt will be of
mutual benefit to both the company

Last Monday a man walked into
the police station, stated that he had
stolen a clothes-wringer and asked
that he be arrested. The police were
incredulous and made investigation.
They found the wringer where he
said he had hidden it and the man
got a coveted three months sentence
in the work-house.
This same day another man came in
and requested that he be arrested.
The police sent him away. Later he
appeared drunk. Then the prison
doors were more hospitable. The next
morning, in police court, when he was
sentenced to term in the work-house
he turned to an officer by his side and
said with evident satisfaction: 81

this great republic committing crimes
that they may earn the privilege of

POWER OF INDIAN POLICE.
Test Case is Being Heard Now a
Lewiston.


One of the most important ques-
tions that ever came before United
States Commissioner O'Neiu was rails
ed in the criminal charge against
John E. Smith, says the Lewiston
Tribune. The question is as to the ex-
tent of the rights of the Indian police
and how far they shall be protected
by law. The settlement of this case
in the federal court will be watched
with interest, as it will have a bear
ing upon the police systems of many
reservations aside from the Nez Perce.
Heretofore the Indian police have
confined their work to their fellow
tribesmen or outside Indians, but in
this case Policeman Types has dared
to assert authority over a white man.
He has even dared to search a white
man, suspecting that the paleface was
carrying liquor on the reservation.
When Types took an empty bottle
out of Smiths pocket the other day
the latter became enraged and struck
the Indian in the face. The Indian,
finding the bottle empty, returned it
to Smith and left.
But F. G. Mattoon, the agent in
charge of the reservation. did not pro-
pose to have his officers of the law
assaulted in such a manner and Sc
cured warrant for the arrest OF
Smith, charging him with resisting an
| officer. The arrest was made by
Deputy United States Marshal Shaft
ner, Judge O'Neill bound Smith over
to appear before the United States
court with bond fixed at $400.
The system of Indian police is es-
tablished under direction of the de-
partment of Indian affairs. The agent
is given authority to nominate his po-
lice, who are in turn appointed by the
department and paid a regular salary
So far as is known here the scope
of the duties have never been settled
Types had received instructions from
Agent Mattoon to seize and destroy
all liquor found on the reservation.

anu SISCldllsIS.
The setting of the first part with
the popular Vests minstrels this sea-
son, is spoken of with more than the
usual admiration given this feature of
a minstrel program. The setting is
declared to be quite elaborate, the
colors cerise and gold, harmonizing
wonderfully in the general effect. 1t
is also claimed, and admitted on all
sides that Manager Ricaby has out
done all his former efforts in the or
ganizing of a company and putting to-
gether an entertainment that is con-
sdered quite remarkable for its in
trinsic merit and artistic thorough
ness. With constant attention TO the
wants of his patrons, and the pro-
gressive and liberal management al
ways displayed by Manager Ricaby, it
is not to be wondered at, that the
name of West minstrels is always ac-
cepted as a positive guarantee to the
lovers of minstrelsy the country
over. The principal comedians this
season are: Tom Mack, Geo. S. Wade.
McDevitt & Kelly and hosts of others
whose names stand for the best in
minstrelsy. A special feature is the
recent engagement of Frederick V.
Bowers the famous singer and author
of Because" and always" and many
other popular songs. Mr.. Bowers will

HEAVY SNOW STORM.

On Thursday afternoon last, at about
three O'Clock, rain commenced to fall in
this vicinity. The atmosphere kept
growing colder until about six o'clock,
when the rain changed to snow. Some
three inches or more fell in very short
time and it was so wet that shrubbery
and trees were damaged considerably
throughout the city. Electric wires
were broken off by the weight of the
snow, and lights were cut off in parts of
the city until lines could be repaired,
Telephone lines suffered to some extent
So well has the outside construction
been attended to that it is hardly posi-
BILE for storms to affect the cables, but
the lines which run from the cables into
houses and business places is where
most of the trouble will be had during
the heavy storms. The line to Brokaw
and the one running from Kelly depot
to Kelly were both out of service for a
couple of days. If the storm had been
of longer duration much damage would
have ensued.

JOHN WHALEN KILLED.

News was received in this city Thurs
day that John Whalen had died that
day IN Milwaukee, the message not
stating the cause of death. Later it
was learned that Mr.. Whalen had been
Killed at $50 that morning while at
work in the yards of the ST. Paul Ry
Co. He was employed at the time in
taking the numbers of cars that made
up a train and did not notice the
approach of another train, which ran
over him and killed him almost instant
ly. His body was brought to Wausau
for burial on Friday evening. Inter-
ment was made Saturday morning from
st. James church. 1t was first intend
ed to hold the body until the arrival of
Mr.. Whalen's parents from Canada,
but telegram on Friday afternoon
stated that sickness prevented their
coming.
Mr.. Whalen was thirty-five years of
age and was born in Oxford, Can,
from which place he came to Wausau
eighteen years ago. In 1895 he was
married to Miss Margaret Sweeney in
this city and four children were born
to them, He was employed for about
five years as teamster for the
McEachron Milling Co. and last June
moved to Milwaukee. For the past
four months he had been in the employ
of the railroad company. Besides his
wife and children he is survived by his
parents, who live in Canada; four sis
ters and five brothers as follows: Mrs.
John Donnelly, Wausau; Mrs. Z. w.
Gallagher, Mrs. Anthony Mosack,
Duluth; Mrs. V. G. Campbell, Portland,
Ore; Thos. Whalen, Manitoba; VIM.
Whalen, Duluth; Edward, Daniel and
Andrew Whalen, Oxford, Can.
Jack, as he was popularity known,
had many friends in Wausau who will
remember him as big hearted, good
natured, whole souled man. He was
member of the Catholic Order of For
esters and that society attended the
funeral in body.

FINDS 1T PROFITABLE.

E. l.. Shepard, of Edgerton, who
shipped herd of 5000 sheep to Har-
shaw last spring will soon return all of
the ewes to Montana, where they will
Craze during the winter and be re-
turned in the spring. About 5000
young sheep, the increase of the herd
during the summer, have already been
shipped TO the Chicago market. Mr..
Shepard, we learn, is more than pleased
with the experiment of sheep raising
in this section and will arrange to ship
1000 head to this vicinity next spring
There seems to be little work in the
care of sheep and yet the returns are
large. Farmers are beginning to
realize this and it will be but short
time before everyone in this locality
will awake to the fact that sheep rails
ing is profitable occupation, which
can be carried on with good results
with their other farm occupations.
Prof. w. A. Henry, dean, college OF
agriculture, University of Wisconsin,
says: mo region on earth excels north
ern Wisconsin for profitable sheep rails
ing when proximity to markets, cheap
ness of land and the natural resources
are considered
"There are tens of thousands of acres
of land in northern Wisconsin more or
I less completely cleared by forest fires
which can be purchased for a small
sum that can at once be seeded to tame
J grasses with no other cost than seeding
and sowing, and from these cheaply
made pastures sheep will thrive from
the beginning.
Everything points to northern Wis
consin as a region in which the pioneer
settler, almost without capital and men
with large business interests as well,
can find profitable and safe returns for
every dollar judiciously invested in
land and sheep"
