NOT LIKE BALTIMORE.

There appears to be considerable diff,
ference between the people of San
Francisco and those of Baltimore
While the loss of life was trifing al
Baltimore and the loss of property not
comparable with that at San Francisco,
yet as worlds disasters go suffering
and loss there We're tremendous. Bal,
ttmore said to the people of the earth,
w are able to bear our own burdens
and no help will be received" San
francisco is pressing the other ex-
IRENE. While the good people of
America have responded nobly, there
seems to be an insistence on the part
of the coast city not at all compatible
with the proprities of life. The To-
cal committee has even gone so far
as to askthe secretary of war Just what
portion of the government relief fund
would be turned owe to the local com.
mittee. The secretary responded that
the resolution of congress contemplate
ed that the government should super
wise the expenditure of every dollar of
this money N that he had no author.
ity to turn any portion of the appropIl
alton over to local committees.
1t would also appear that the bill in
troduced in ongress providing for
national guarantee of a 5000, OOO, OCl
loan was pressing the limit Just a Iii
tie. A precedent Of this kind would b,
extremely dangerous. San Francisco
was insured to the extent of more thar
500, 600, 900 and will be able to rebuild
IN a magnificent manner without call
ing upon the national government for
aid.
To relieve suffering and distress the
American people are quick to respond.
but when it comes down to rebuilding
a city, that is a matter OF business that
ought to be looked after by the men di.
rectly interested. To the credit of tile
senators from California, he it said
that they did not look with favor upon
the Newlands bill and felt that the Ne.
yada senator was doing them an in.
justice by not consulting them before
taking his illadvised step.

Ben Harmer, n cowboy of Meeteetse,
claims that he has discovered a chemi-
cal that will efectualiy remove all
traces of brands on the hide Of an ami
NAL in five weeks. 1t is stated that he
demonstrated his discovery last week
by exhibiting a saddle horse which he
mad purchased from the M outfit,
having the NJ brand at one time and
also a number on the jaw. No trace
of these brands can now be seen. 1t
was well known that many fine horses
are shipped from the range and sold
at a comparatively low figure on ac-
count of their brands and a preparation
that would remove the traces OF the
branding iron would be very valuable
in that way, but men of experience on
the range r. very slow to believe in
Harmer's discovery, and are exceed
ingly dubious as to its value to the
stock industry. In the hands of stock
rustlers it would prove a dangerous
and costly discovery, as these opera
tors would have ample time during the
summer months to deiace brands from
hundreds of head of both cattle anC
horses. Local horsemen see a chance
to realize larger prices for their besl
stuff, If Harmer's dope will remove
the brands as he says. but are with the
cattlemen in the matter of being fear
ful of results should the rustlers com
mence its use.-Casper Tribune.

A Little Quiet Now

With the announcement of candi-
dates for the various state offices the
campaign seems to have quoted down
so far as one a judge from the state
papers. Men of ability and highest cit
izenship have been mentioned for state
offices and should such men be elected,
the people of the state will have the
satisfaction of knowing that public
business will be in the hands of capa-
be and honest men.-Newcastle News

Some Damnably Mean People

Did you ever notice that talk" does
not hurt a man much? Perfection
isn't looked for in man, when some
one tries to injure a man by r~anting
about a few faults he has, the absent
one, who is probably attending to his
own affairs, is elevated in the hearers
estimation, while the informant is low
cred accordingly. If a man knocks
along, doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults, he has
more virtues, and they are charitable
enough to overlook these faults. But
1t is different with a girl or oma No
matter how good and pure a woman
may be, let someone start n malicious
lie about her and everyone is willing
TO pass it along, and there is always
someone to believe 1t. That lie car
never be lived down. 1t may burn low
but gossip-lovers are ready with new
fuel. Did you ever think how damna
bly, mean some goody good people are
in this respect.-Evanston News-Regis

anger he struck his mistress such a
terrific blow that she died in a few min

A number of state papers have been
advocating the redistricting of the
state for judicial purposes. Under the
plan suggested Albany county would
be a part of the First judicial district
and would lose a resident judge. 1t
cannot therefore be counted as favor
able to the plan. The excuse given
for the change is that 1t is inconyenient
for the judges to get from one portion
OF their district to another as the dis.
tricts are at present constituted. The
Second district is the worst in this re
spect. but as thevjudge is entirely will.
ing TO be put TO any little inconyen-
fence in this respect rather han To

overruled by the honorable judge OF

N who would be materially affected.

the last half of the year will establish
a still higher record.

I maintain that God Almighty alone

Dowie himself said that inasmuch as
he had not had an opportunity to read

REvoLUTloNIsTs TO CONFER
Jewish Bund Is on the List-Work OF
the Police.

Representatives of the two Polish
socialistic organizations, the Lettish
Socialists and the Jewish bund = or
Zionisic Socialists - have arrived
here to participate in the revolutionary
conferences. Manifestos to the nation,
the army and navy and the Cossacks
will be signed by these representatives,
as well as by the regular Russian or
ganiZation. The printing establishment
of the suppressed journal, The Echo,
where thousands of copies of the Vi
borg manifesto We're being surrepti-
tiously printed, has been closed by the
police. The Socialists, who were pre-
pairing to issue revolutionary paper
from the establishment, are now plan
ming to print it by force in one of the
regular printing plants.
The police searched the house of
Professor Borodin, of the University
of st. Petersburg, where meetings of
the parliamentary Group of Toll
were being held, and seized all the pa
pers of the committee.
Finance Minister Kokovsoff has ac-
companied the figures Of the revenues
for the first five months of the year,
Sis, $4,000, compared with 1891, $780,
coo the corresponding time last year,
with MISUNDERSTANDING that Russian
finances are more than satisfactory.
and that the assertions of the revolu-
tionists that Russia is on the verge of
bankruptcy are inventions, adding that
IAN organization which has been build
ing for centuries is too strong for per-
sons of even the maddest energy to
overturn.''
On account of the indignation which
has been caused by the announcement
of services of thanksgiving for the
dissolution of parliament in various
cities, the holy synod has issued an
encyclical directing that the reading Of
the emperor's manifesto in the
churches on Sunday shall not be ac-
companied by such services. The bish-
op of Poltava, however, celebrated a
TIE Deum over the dissolution.

seer" - Comments Of Deacon
Lewis-WilI the Restor-
or Appeal?

Chicago, July 2S.-The decision OF
Judge LaQdis in the Zion City Dowie)
case is distinct victory for Voliva
and the insurgents" 1t destroys, so
far as it can, the theocratical consti-
tuition of the church, and makes Dowie
simply leader. and not the whole
thing, practically, which is not very
great exaggeration Of his claims. John
c. Hately as receiver will rule the
industries Of the town In scene of
tremendous, tense excitement Judge
Lands denounced many of the follow
ers of John Alexander Dowie in the
Christian Catholic church as traitors
to their country. There ensued a dis
tuIbance and the cries of women in
the court room. Judge Lands sternIy
ordered quiet and threatened to clear
the room.
Ruin to the Church Predicted.
Prediction that Judge Lands action
will bring ruin to the church founded
by Dowie followed the court finale of
N-~ hAttCA A e-AlL OCLNE Cl TIT v DIVA anu
Dowie factions. Judge Lands ordered
an election of a general oyerseer of the
church to be held in Zion City on Tues
day, Sept. 1S. This election is almost
sure TO go in favor of yoliva and he
is elated to the seventh heaven. Dowie
declines to comment on the decision,
but the belief is general that he will
appeal.
Faith Before Everything.
The denunciatiOn Of Dowieites as
traitors was caused by a clause in a
pledge required in joining the ''Restor-
alton Host" which pledgedecIares that
"all family ties and obligations and all
relations to all human governments
shall be held subordinate to this VOW"
The vow is a profession of faith in
Dowie as general overseer, the prophet
and Elijah the restorer. Voliva came in
for denunciation, too, but he can stand
1t, as he has cinch on the vote to be
taken.
What the Judge Decided.
According to Judge Lands: Dowie is
not the owner of Zion City. He has
been acting as trustee for the members
Of his church. Dowie has recognized
existence of this trust relation. Voliya
and Alexander Granger well knew that
they were violating the trust Dowie
had reposed in them when they used
his power of attorney to dispossess
him. The Nolivans had no right to ex-
mel Dowia or anv IF bfs folI,-,c,,,
