Advertiser Bureau,

A Dr. W. B. Crumpton, of the state Baptist Mission Board, filled the pulpit at the First Baptist Church here yes terday In a number of the churcnes 1t had been agreed that the subject or the sermons delivered should be upon temperance.
 Or. Crumpton stated that he did not know this was to be the subject of his sermon and for that reason had not prepared such a subject for his dis course Instead of delivering such a sermon to the congregation he read quite a number of statistics upon the different evils which were caused by intemperance and which proved quite interesting and instructive. Towards the latter part of his remarks Dr. Crumpton stated that he believed there would be held quite a number of local option elections in different counties throughout the State.
 These elections he intimated would be agitated immediately after the ad- Journment of the Legislature, which will meet in July. The impression was conveyed by his remarks that quite a wave of temperance reform was being felt throughout the State and that probably the first local option election would be held in Jefferson County.

ago, one OF the arguments used
against Governor Gooding, at least
in the cattle country, was that If
elected, he would at once see to
passing a law to repeal the 2-mile
limit statute. No such bill came
up, however, and the newly-made
governor let it be und rstood that
he shoul then veto such a measure
if it were passed. The law was not
mentioned in the past camuaign,
so it is not now at all an issue.
This fact, and the added one that
the sheep industery is on the boom
because OF high prices, while the
cattle industry has not been SO
profitable for the past four or five
years as it once was might give
the movement for a modification
Of the law a better chance at this

the world. The Jap also makes a
good assayer or surveyor. There are
mine workings OF all graIas and kinds
in the little empire Of JarGn. Owing
to the small amount ard superficial
nature of the development as yet car
ried out, little is known about its gold
mining. but hopeful views are ex-
pressed for the future. The gold PRO-
ducing parts of the empire are Hon
shu, Kyushu. Hokkaido, and Formosa.
The alluyial mines are in Hohkaido.
but II is in the mining of deposits
other than placers that the bulk OF
the future supply OF Japan IS expect
ed. The requirements Of the mining
authorities are net exacting. and the
area of land allowed to be taken up
ranges from two and half to five
hundred acles.

fifty years of age and purporting to
be newspaper man: arrived in

proceeded to work on the sympath-
les of the citizens. He did this
for two weeks but his hard luck
plea then became a myth and the
people refus d tc dig up any more.
As he had to live and things were
beginning to look pretty bad he
resolved to obtain money by for
gerry and so issued a check appear
ing to be signed by a certain John
Muller. The check was only
drawn for S. 80 and he passed it
on Robert Bonner, proprietor of
the Senate saloon, but that gentle
