the organization dates hack
to 1870, when, as the Attor

simple conspiracy within the

Owners of the Soil.

The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feels that by the law of the
land in which he lives he is the rightful
and exclusive owner of the land which
he tills, feels more strongly than an
other the character of a man as the
lord of an inanimate world. OF this
great and wonderful sphere which,
fashioned by the hand of God and up
held by his power, is rolling through
the heavens a part Of his--his from
the center of the sky! 1t is the space
on which the generation before him
moved in its round of duties, and he
feels himself connected by a visible
link with those who follow him and to
whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home, but he can trace
their footsteps over the scenes of his
daily labors. The roof which shelters
him was reared by those to whom he
owes his being. Some interesting do
nestle tradition is connected with every
Enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was
planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadow.
Through the fields lie the path to the
village school of early days. He still
hears from the window the voice of the
Sabbath bell which called his fathers to
the house of God, and near at hand is
the spot where his parents lay down to
rest and where, when his time has
come, he shall be laid by his children.
These are the feelings of the owners
of the soil. Words cannot paint them
gold cannot buy them; they flow out
of the deepest fountains of the heart
they are the life-spring of fresh,
healthy and generous national charac-
ter. Edward Everett.

News From Lantz.

Mrs. E. ]. Hunt, who teaches the
Benge school, gave an entertainment
at the school house on last Friday, at
which very pleasing program was
given. The manner in which the dia-
logues were put on and the recitations
delivered reflects great credit on the
teacher, who was also the trainer.
After the program the ladies' gave
what they called a "sack" supper.
Each sack bore the name of state of
the Union, and then the state capitals
were sold at public auction. The gen.
tleman purchasing capital had to hunt
up the lady possessing the state that
owned his town, and when he found
her it was his duty, as well as his
pleasure, to eat supper with her. The
net proceeds amounted to about $40.
Every one enjoyed the affair very
much and pronounced it great sue
cess. Mrs. Hunt will give another en-
tertainment in the near future.
Rev. Cracks, Baptist preacher from
McMinnville, Ore, will begin revival
meetings at the Benge school house on
next Tuesday, Dec. IL.
Wallace & Co., who have the con-
tract for 70 miles of roadbed on the
Northern Pacific cutoff, are building
barracks for their hands and stores for
their supplies all along the line of sur
vey. They announce that they will
perfect all their arrangements and be
ready to make dirt fly just as soon as
the frost goes out of the ground in the
early spring. This looks like business
all right.

Pastors Wife to get Regular Salary.

The Lincoln Park institutional church,
in Cincinnati, Ohio, with one OF
the largest congregations in the West,
has decided, through the executive
committee, to pay salary to Mrs.
Geo. R. Robbins, wife of the pastor of
the church.
This is said to be the first instance
on record of Baptist church paying a
regular salary to the preachers wife
for helping him in his church work.
An officer of the congregation in re-
porting this new departure, said: at
usually is the case that the minister
wife does more work than any other
member of the congregation. This
seems always expected of her. All
these devoted women as a rule received
for their self-sacrifice has been critic
ism. There are two women helpers in
this church.
