port on the matter and the man
is told he is not wanted.
OF course there is two sides to
the matter, and the railroad should
have some protection, but in case
like the above, where a petty
official takes advantage of his
authority and power to work
man an injury for personal injury
it works hardship and many a
good man has been kept out of en-
ployment simply because the
official had it in for him. The
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and other railroad organizations
have been trying to get after this
matter for some time, but there
appears to be no solution of it, at
least none has ever been found.
1t is held that the railroads have
a right to look after their interests
in this way, but many of the men
think there could be something
done in legal way if the records
could be gotten hold of, especially
since it is known fact that these
references are exchanged between
the various roads. For one road
to keep a record SO that it may
protect itself is all right they say
but they do not believe that these
references should be exchanged in
the way they have been and for
the purpose that many ofthe petty
officials fuse them. These are
matters that come up at the meet
ing Of the various brotherhoods
each year and it is likely that some
definite action will be taken this
summer.

JOSEPH WHEELER.


Had General Wheeler died prior
to the war with Spain his reputa-
ton would have rested upon his
services III the southern confeder-
acy, which were brilliant, and his
career in the House, which had
been useful TO his constituents. As
the one record was sectional and
remote, and the other only local,
there would have been 70 feeling
of national loss. That feeling
today IS universal and profound.
There has disappeared, indeed, one
of the most attractive of the Coun-
try's heroes, and wherever his
name is known-and where in this
country is it not known?-expres-
sions Of sincerest sorrow will be
provoked by the news ofhis death.
The readiness and enthusiasm
with which General Wheeler Of
fered his services to the President
when war over Cuba was declared
ELECTED the praise, and stirred
both sections of the country.
Throughout the north young men
saw in the spirit exhibited by the
veteran ex-confederate the best
possible proof that the Union was
again a Union in fact, while the
young men of the south followed
by the thousands the example OF
one whose name among them was
the representative of all that was
brave and capable and untiring in
the field Of war. The President
himself had the fullest appreciation
of the value Of the offer, and at
once assigned General Wheeler to
duty in accordance with his claims
to consideration.
But, best Of all for his reputation
and the country's good, and it was
at once made plain that General
Wheeler's sword arm had not lost
its cunning in the thirty-odd years
of peaceful pursuits.
The famous cavalry leader of
the early sixties resumed his seat
in the saddle as though he had
dismounted only the day before.
New methods, new arms, were
mastered in no time, and when the
army landed in Cuba, General
Wheeler's command was as fit as a
fiddle, and with it he plunged at
once into action. How admirably
he acquitted himself is told not
only in official records, but in many
personal "reminiscences of his COM
rades, and conspicuously in his
subsequent appointment to brig
adler generally in the regular ar
my.
1t was long life. full of indus
try and notable deeds, and near its
close it became an inspiration in
the matter of valor and patriotism
to all of General Wheeler'S coun-
trymen. Washington Star.

The Temptation of Jesus.

The temptation of Jesus has been
affirmed most difficult of all events
to interpret. The difficulty is re-
duced to a minimum if one keeps
in mind that Jesus had true human
soul. This was the citadel the
devil sought to storm. In his hui
man nature, Jesus must needs make
the transit from the innocence,
which may be called instructive,
to that which is the outcome of
choice. This transit was not made
entirely in this ordeal of the temp
tation, though this may have been
its crucial epoch. The ira
ditional scene of this dread en-
counter Forty-day Noun

is still a painless desert, dusk
with horrid shades" Thither Je-
sus had gone, impelled by the con-
seriousness of his Messianic mis-
sion, which may have fully dawn
ed upon Him in His baptism. He
sought to adjust Himself to His
calling-to test his resources, and
determine a plan of procedure,
#* * 1t is perhaps indifferent
whether one believes this a literal
approach of a personal devil, or a
fgurative description Of a moral
struggle entirely subjective. The
first temptation was to use the

he had just come to consciousness
purely for personal ends, and I'M
trustfuIly ofhis Fathers care. The
second temptation was to create an
emergency which would test His
Fathers care. The third solicita-
ton was to the double service, God
and mammon. 1t has been we'll

triumphed as man, not as God.

form such all imprenenable armor?
Was it impossible for suggestions
of evil to enter His soul? Then,
how was he tempted as we are?
Such theory reduces Jesus en-
counter to a sham fight.
The human soul of Jesus was not
overslaughed by the divine. The
temptation was addressed to Jesus
true humanity. As second Adam.
he overcame where the first Adam
failed. As very man, he learned
by what he suffered, and is able to
succor the tempted, being true
and inspiring Exemplar.
The devil showed Jesus a short
cut to His kingdom. He is doing
the same for men today. He
whispers to the bank cashier:

lie idle? Manipulate and double

The devil has a subtle power to
spread mirage of all the king
doms Of earth, and in their glory
and "barbaric gems of gold" be.
fore the eyes of the ambitious, and
Proffer them all if only one will
install him as master. Pity is, so
many fail to thrust the tempter
through with the sword of the
Spirit, and say: 1T stands writ
ten: Worship the Lord and Him
only shalt thou serve" *
Just as Jesus emerged from His
long period ofabsorbed meditation,
and His physical nature asserted
its claims, the tempter injected the
thought, "If you really are, as you
imagine, the Son of God, command
these loaf-shaped stones to be
changed into bread, and by that
means appease your hunger" But
Jesus responded: The Israelites
were forty years learning the de-
pendence upon the simple word
and promise of God With their
example l ought to learn the les
son in forty days" Again Jesus
felt himself to be standing on
dizzy height. The devil wanted
him to entertain in His mind the
purpose of casting Himself down;
but Jesus considered that to make
an emergency for the sake of dis
play would be dispicable. Finally,
Jesus knew he was to set mp
kingdom on th,-slowly, and
by His own suffering. Now, the
Kingdoms displayed to Him as in
panorama are offered to him in
simultaneously by the god of this
world, If he will serve him as we'll
as His Father, and make His Mis-
sion a temporal one, such as the
Jews were expecting, The moral
nature of Jesus rises to its full
height, as with holy wrath He
scorns the very suggestion, and
cries, BE gonel" to the tempter.

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-In a COLI
sion between the small steamer
Dix and the steamer Jeanne, near
Alik Point, last night, the Dix was
sunk. Thirty-eight lives are be-
lieved to be lost. OF II SOUS
aboard the Inflated vessel when
she left Seattle, 80 are accounted
for. The remainder went down.
The Dix left Seattle at o'clock
for Port Blakeley, and the jeanne,
which is a freighter, left at the
same time for Tacoma. The pilot
of the Dix evidently misjudged the
distance covered by both vessels
when the point was reached and
ran in front of the Jeanne five
miles off Seattle harbor.
The Jeanne crashed into the Dix
at full speed, striking her amid
ships and knocking hole in her
box at the water line. The injured
vessel almost Immediately keeled
over and went down in 600
fathoms of water.
When the vessels struck panic
ensued on the Dix. Most of the
passengers weer in the cabin, and
so swiftly did the Dix go to the
bobttom few had time to escape
Some succeeded in gaining the
deck and these. with a majority OF
the crew, were rescued.
The Jeanne cruised over the
scene all night. but at daylight
had come across none of the miss
ing. Survivors blame the Jeanne
for the collision.
Officers of the Jeanne claim they
used every precaution to avoid an
accident. The general opinion is
they are both to blame.

GLADYS
I FINDS HOME
At LAST

Little 10 year old Gladys Wilson,
who has been in charge of the Sal
walton Army matron for more than
a week, had an affectionate meet
ing last night with her father, F.
l.. Wilson, a court stenographer of
Butte, Mont. The police found lit
tie Gladys at the Northern Pacific
depot in this city sevedal days
ago looking for her mother who
never appeared to take her home.
Instead, Gladys was taken to the
police station and then sent to the
Salvation Army home while the po-
lice exhausted every effort to find
the mother she was in search OF.
Now it develops that Gladys
coming heer at all was a mistake
of the sisters at the Catholic home
in Missoula, Mont. They should
have sent her to Butte, instead of
Spokane, but put her aboard the
wrong train. Her father, on her
non arrival in Butte, was distract
ed and visited Missoula to ascer-
tain what had become of his little
daughter. At Missoula he was
shown clippings from Spokane
newspapers noting the little wan
derer's arrival here. He returned
to Butte, secured letter of in
PRODUCTION from the chief of police,
and yesterday arrived in Spokane.
He and Gladys went home last
night.

WHY DON'T HE
SUE CUPID

Justice Stocker was buncoed out
of IS last Saturday when he tied
the nuptial knot which united in
matrimony Arthur Collins and
Nora Taylor of Newport, Wash.
The justice this morning was
doubly certain he had been bun.
coed when he dug down. down
deep into his pocket and turned
over S. to the county treasurer.
1t seems that the justice, follow
ing all rules and regulations of his
office, failed to collect in ad-
vance" from Collins. who, after
the ceremony was over, found that
his pocketbook had been left home
or somewhere. But the justice is
now firmly of the opinion he's
been buncoed. He tried to tell the
swain he wasn't thoroughly mar
ried until the SIS was forthcoming,
but the swain evidently knows a
thing or two himself for the fact
is he is Just as much married now
as II he paid the court 500. The
law says the court should collect
IS for the ceremony, but on ac-
count Of that Office in large place
being a salaried one the money
must be turned in to the treas
urer. A country justice can col
lect or not, as he sees fit, because
his collections are his salary.

but he does not blame property
holders for signing a petition ask
ing for the cut, because it will add
35 x50 feet to each of their lots,
thus making double lots of them
and consequently enhancing their
value. The portion of Spofford av.

The city engineers office is back
at Councilman Pratt again with
repetitions of its challenge deliv-
cred last week in which Pratt is
invited to prove his charges Of
misconduct in management of new
waterworks expenditures or resign
from office and shut up.
Today a new set OF challenges
were prepared and taken to Mr..
Pratt with request that he bind
himself to the test of an investi-
cation, but the councilman refused
to have anything to do with it. He
is out Of the city this afternoon.
Pratt reiterates his statements
that thousands of dollars have
been diverted through not follow
ing the ordinance or through in
competency of the engineers
office, IL the records are correct.
He has an array of figures to
prove his assertions, but the en-
gineer's Office holds these figures
to be incorrect and on the bias.
Today the following statement was
issued, coming from A. F. Gill, con-
cutting engineer, and City Engi.
neer Mcintyre.
Mr.. Pratt said before the city
council and it was published in the
Spokesman-Review, Nov. Is, 1906:
81 have found that the distance be-
tween the pumping station and the
reservoir is 26,672 feet, approx
mately 1000 feet shorter than the
distance reported to Mr.. Tanning.
How they could lay two-thirds Of
a mile more main than the dis
lance, Is more than can under
stand. The cost of the main for
this distance would have been
$4,000"
Again, in the Spokesman-Review
of the 18th he says: "Mr. Gill
slightly deviates from the facts.
When | addressed the council | did
not say that he had not laid the
water mains. | said the engineers
office had not laid 900 feet Of
water main between the pumping
station and the reservoir"
We did not believe in passing
over the above specific charge re-
iterated by Mr.. Pratt and offered
to submit to a fair and impartial
investigation to determine the
truthfulness or falsity of the
charge, which Mr.. Pratt In pub
lished statement agreed to accept
with the provision that the en-
gineer's office would stand by its
figures" We then incorporated
this in our challenge and resub-
mitted it for his signature, which
he positively refused, showing that
he cared less for his reputation OF
honesty and integrity than his
official psoition as councilman,
which would have been placed in
jeopardy had he accepted.
Mr.. Pratt has made many
charges of fraud and misrepresen.
tation by the engineers in con.
structing the new water works ex-
tension. He has made charges
one day and denied them the next.
He has questioned the ability and
report of the most eminent en-
gineer In the United States, Mr.
]. I. Tanning; yet he refuses to
support his statements with any
thing more substantial than more
hot air"
The engineers Office repeats the
