MAKING FINAL.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR
ROAD DAY

advised OF these arrangements and the
leader of the band has been requested
to bring along in the special train plenty
of dance music and extra instruments.
The band will be divided at night into
two sections, one for the Ely Social
Club and one for the Good Timers. The
committee has confidence that the two
dances will be so conducted as to yield
the greatest possible amount of inno-
cent pleasure to our visitors.
Chairman Miles of the committee on
street decoration reported that his
committee had procured, or ordered,
enough flags, bunting and other dec
orations to transform Ely into a per-
feet bower of beauty on the 29th.
Mr. Peacocke, of the committee on
accommodations, said that arrange
ments were being made to accommo-
date large number of visitors. The
parties from Ogden and Salt Lake will
come down the line in Pullman sleepers
with diners attached and will occupy
these quarters during their stay here.
For those who are not so fortunately
situated, however, bureau of infOrma-
alton viii be opened at the White
House in Hayes Park. Mr.. Peacocke
is arranging to assign several hundred
people to rooms or cots from these
headquarters.
Mr. Campton of the barbecue COM
mittee assured his colleagues that
there would be no lack of provisions
on Railroad Day.. All his committee
needs now is a place to serve the feast,
and that detail is being intelligently
worked out under the direction of Mr..
A. A. Marshall. There will be plenty
of tables and benches for the multitude,
with food enough for all, and nearby an
amphitheatre capable of seating several
thousand people, with speakers stand
on the other side This stand will lbe
large enough to accommodate Held's S
band and visiting newspaper writers.
While the ceremonies are in progress
at the courthouse three mounted and
well armed deputy sheriffs will patrol
the business and residential sections of
the town. In addition Sheriff Baird is
swearing in a number of deputies to
preserve order while the barbecue and
oratory program are going on.
The committee requests every prop
erty owner or tenant to clean up his
premises on Friday and to keep them
clean. The streets will be sprinkled
on Saturday morning.
R. A. Riepe left for Troy mining dis
trict Saturday morning to look after
his mining interests. He received word
from there a few days since and with

snears and pruning.Hooks.

It is easier to make of the metal a
pruning-hook at once than to make
the pruning-hook out of spear. But,
if the spear has already been made,
the transformation only comes after
it has been beaten with many blows,
They shall beat their spears into
pruning-hooks; if the wrong irstru-
ment has been made to. begin with,
then the process of Transformation
will require hard work. But men
whose views of the world have been
transformed will not be long in set
ting to the task of Transforming their
old weapons into instruments OF
blessing. The warriors whom the
prophet saw in Imagination go to
Zion to have their causes settled there
by arbitration have determined to
practice the art of war no more; and
it does ones heart good to watch the
good will with which, when they!
come bAcl, they deal their lusty blows
upon the cruel swords and spears;
The love of peace is now in their
hearts; they see visions Of plowedI
fields and gracious hillsides, and they
beat their spears into pruning-forks
for the new world to be.-Congrega-

What Had She Done?

What have I done that I should
be used so?" asked forlorn woman.
Her appearance told of poverty and
suffering. Asked to explain the treat
ment she had received, she said,
pointing to rumseller:
He took my husband as faithful
a man as ever welded a woman, got
all his money, burnt up his heart,
ruined his body, palsied his tongue,
and sent him home to inflict on me
all the curses which overhung his
own guilty head, and on his family
shame, that neither toll nor tears
can wipe away; and now hat Eus-
band is in the grave, with no one to
weep for him, or console his wife and
children. My son caught the spirit
and followed the example of his
father; was enticed by the same rum
seller and drained Of all that he could
earn as supply, till he came back to
me, not son, but a useless carcass,
quickened with the spirit of fiend,
and has ended his career, not in
death, but crime, at the thought Of
which I cannot hold up my head;
widowed, childless, and old-Oh!
God, what have J. done that I should
be used so?"
What heart would not be touched
by such story of woe? What think
you of the creature whose traffic
works such horrible things? Alas!
for the people who consent to such
affic.-National Advocate.

HON. ELIHU ROOT.
Mine Model in Glass.

A New York company is engaged,
among other things, in the manufac-
ture of models Of mine workings OF
exceedingly new and novel construc-
tion. These models are made OF
glass, and by the process followed
they ere enabled to reproduce IN
solid glass to an accurate scale all
the underground workings and sur
face features of mine" Of any char
acter. According to the Scientific
American the models are constructed
of thick sheets of clear white glass,
laid one upon another, and bolted to-
gether, thus forming unit. The
underground workings of the mine
are excavated from the glass, and all
drifts, shafts, slopes, wines, up
raises, crosscuts, etc., are shown as
miniature excavations exactly as they
exist in the mine. The top Of the
model, representing the surface Of
the ground above the mine, is cut to
accurately represent the Topographic.
cal features of the surface. Future
workings can be added to the model
as the development of the mine pro-

been destroyed by the operations Of
civilization, come of the large ones
still remain.
One of the largest of these mounds
is situated at Miamisburg, o., and
was originally some eighty feet high,
but the digging of exploring parties
has reduced it to siXty-seven. The
base measures some 500 feet in cir
cumference. Years ago a shaft was
sunk into the top, but the workmen
were frightened. from their work by
a peculiar hollow sound which came
up from below. It was feared that
the interior of the mound contained
a hollow chamber like the one at
Grave Creek, and might possibly cave
in. In 1869 second party dug down
to the base, where they found soli-
tary skeleton in sitting posture fac
ing the east. The bones were allowed
to remain undisturbed and the shaft
was filed up.
At the time of it's discovery the
mound was found to be covered with
forest trees. Most of these were
cleared away and an orchard planted,
but Of late years the forest is once
more retaining it. This mound has
always been an object Of interest for
visitors, and representative J. C.
Myers made strenuous efforts to in
duce the State to purchase the fam
GUS relic, but without success, and it
still remains a neglected relic of a
vanished race.-Clarence A. Vande-
veer, in Forest and Stream.

Gods School.

Sooner or later we find out that
life Is not holiday, but discipline.
Earlier or later we all discover that
the world is not a playground. 1t fs
quite clear God means it for school.
The moment we forget that, the
puzzle of life begins. We try to play
in school; the Master does not mind
that so much for its own sake, for He$
likes to see His children happy, but
in our playing we neglect our lessons.
We do not see how much therosis to
learn, and we do not care. But our
Master cares. He has a perfectly
overpowering and inexplicable solicit
tude for our education; and because
He loves us He comes sometimes into
the school and speaks to US. He may
speak very softly and gently, or very
loudly, Sometimes a look Is enough,
and we understand it, like Peter, and
go out at once and weep bitterly.
Sometimes the voice is like thun-.
derclap startling a summer night.
But one day we may be sure OF, the
task He sets to US is never measured
by our delinquency. The discipline,
may seem far less than our desert,
or even to our eyes ten times more.
But it is not measured by. these, 1t Is
measured by Gods solicitude for our;
progress; measured solely by Gods
love; measured solely that the scholar
may be better educated when he arr
rives at his Fathers house.
When we arrive there to behold
His beauty, we must have the edus
Gated eye; and that must be trained
here. We must become so pure In
heart-and it needs much practice
that we shall see God. That explains
life, why God puts, man in the cruci-5
BILE and makes him pure by fire.
When we see Him we must speak
to Him. We have that language to.
learn. And that is perhaps why God
makes us pray so much. Then We
are able to walk with Him in white.
Our sanctifcation is a putting on Of
this white. But there has to be much.
disrobing first, much putting of OF
filthy rags. That Is why God makes
mans beauty to consume away like
the moth. He takes away the moths
wings and gives the angels, and man
goes the quicker and the lovelier to-
the Father.
It is quite true, indeed, besides all
this, that sometimes the shadow falls
more directly from definite sin. But
even then its explanation is the same.
We lose our way, perhaps, on the
way to the Father The road Is
rough, and we chose the way with
the flowers beside it, instead of the.
path Of thorns. Often5and often thus,
purposely or carelessly, we lose the
way. So the Lord Jesus has to come
and look for us. And He may have
to Iced US through desert and danger
before we regain the road-before we
are as we were-and the voice says
to US sadly once more, This is the
way to the Father."-Hsnry Drum
mond.

A Relic of Prehistoric Times.

When the white ren first pene-
trated the interior of this continent
they found at various points great
earthworks which they believed to
be relics of former civilization that
had disappeared. 1t was long a pop
ular belief that here was civiliza-
tion that equalled that Of ancient
Egypt, that people which had attained
a degree Of culture far higher than
that of the Indians who lived in this
region, and had left behind, them
these monuments, which only the
work of long time could destroy and
efface. All this is now believed not
to be true. The investigations Of
>utnam, Thomas, Brinton and host
of other ethnologists point to the con-
clusion that the mounds and other
earthworks that have S stimulated
the. public imagination were built by
Indi ms, people not unlike those
whom we have known in the historic
period, and the evidence points
strongly toward the ancestors of
tribes still existing. Although great
numbers of these eartEworks have

enough to completely cover my shoul-

needed is yard and a quarter of
yard wide goods. Twelve inches
from the neck of the bib are inserted
sleevelets fourteen inches long.
Through these the hands are slipped,
the cuffs being large enough for that
and nothing more. When meal lime
comes the bib is fastened around the
neck, I slip my hands through the
cuffs, the skirt of the bib IS spread

crumb will creep into the bed to make
