PETTIBONE DOPE.
Before returning to Cripple Creek
in january, 1904, Orchard said Pet
tibone gave him several cans Of 'Pet-
tibone DOPE or Greoian fire
enough to make four gallons.
He was to throw 1t in the cars
where "scabs" were riding and down
mine shafts. Orchard said be buried
the "dops" and never used it. After
his arrest in Caldwell he told Detec-
tive Mcfarland about the dope and
the latter, he heard, bad dug 1t up.
Orchard would not admit that the
mi Iitia was seacrhing each train at
the time he took the dope into the
district.
Orchard told of Meyer sending to
Cripple Creek for him soon after this.
Meyer wanted him to go along to
Ouray and to Silverton, where the
Telluride miners, who had been de-
ported by General Bukley Wells Of
Colorado, we're gathered. Meyer told
him that the mine owners thugs had
threatened to beat him up If they
caught him outside off Denver. Or
chard was to go along to help defend
Meyer in case Of attack. Two sawed
off shotguns we're placed in their
grips, Meyer saying the guns would
be good protection in the event of an
attack. Orchard said he also carried
two pistols. He said Meyer had the
shotguns all ready when he reached
Denver.
Nothing happened OH the trip to
Ouray, and once there Meyer was
busy with the miners.
Meyer eventually was arrested for
desecrating the American flag, having
drawn pictures Of the flag and
printed something on the stripes.
Orchard said he took the two saw
ed-oh shotguns back to the miners
headquarters In Denver, where they
remained until he got them some
time later, using one to kill Lyte
Gregory with.
Richardson asked the witness if ht
did not know, as a matter Of fact
that Meyer still has possession of hI'
gun and that IL had never been fred
Orchard said this might be so. III
said there we're more than two of thu
guns at headquarters.

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS

1t seems that society is at a stand

Last summer Brown got to think

thoroughly. He could not afford TO
go to summer resort. What could
be done to make the long summer
days and evenings bearableH
At last he hit upon scheme.
Eilers Piano House sold the Victor
Talking Machine, made in different
sizes, costing from $40 to $500. He
was little short; but noticed that
he did not need to pay all cash but
could enjoy 1t while paying for it.
So he ordered one and nice lot of

In the arts and sc1ences-the
need is rather for colleges where
the art of pure living and the practice
of virtue may be taught. The world
wants not more brains first, but more
character. The Importance of clean
living and high thinking must be
taught and preached as paramount
and fundamental-for they are the
centre and the circumference of all
life. The integrity Of the marriage
relation must be maintained. The
demand for a moral manhood as es-
sential to any and all success must
be enforced. Men must be made to
understand that purity is the stand
ard of true worth, and that clean
manhood is real might.
We must educate our youth to the
value of goodness. We must teach
our girls that character is more of ac-
count than any material requirement
or possession. We must tell our boys
that manliness is not recklessness,
but rectitude; that only the pure life
pays. And tell them why!

How to Lose Ground.

God hath a thousand keys to open
a thousand doors for the deliverance
of His own when it has come to the
greatest extremity. Let us be faith
ful and care for our own part, which
is to do and suffer for Him, and lay
Gods part on Himself, and leave it
there; duties are ours, events are
the Lords.
When our faith goeth to meddle
with events, and to hold court (if /
may SO speak) upon Gods provi-
dence, and beginneth to say, How
wilt Thou do this or that?" we lose
ground. We have nothing to do
there; it is our part to let the AL
mighty exercise His own Office and
steer His own helm.-Rutherford.

"A SERMON. X<SG &&
81 THE REV. MXSMAE
iMMHtNDEeSoN~

Brooklyn. N. Y.-The shocking
and alarming social conditions re-
vealed by the testimony in the Thaw
trial and by the statistics of divorce
recently given out by the United
States Census Bureau, over one mill
ion having been granted in the past
nineteen years, furnish the text for
the following sermon written by the
Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pas
tor of the Irving Square Presbyter-
Ian Church:
Elk. 20:14, "Thou shalt not commit
adultery
It is my intention to broaden the
scope OF the word which is the OBJ
Ject OF this sentence, and to cause
1t to cover, as am certain God
means it, to-day, to cover, all that
field Of human .uncleanness which
strikes at the very core of our COM
mon life. The command hits hard
and swift against the social crime
OF marital infidelity; but also in the
light of the messages of Christ, it
condemns, with no uncertain sound,
all those men and wbmen in whose
hearts and actions lust receives free
rein.
: The Gospel Of our Lord insists on
cleaIness of act and mind; it censures
unsparingly and scathingly the viola
tlon by any and all men, married or
single, of Gods law of purity.
The seventh word, with our Lord
behind it, forbids three sins. and the
three are these: first, the notification
of the marriage bond by infdelity,
with all its attendant evils. Second
1y, the pollution Of the purity Of per-
sonal and public life by men and wo-
men who are without restraint or
lawful tie. Thirdly, the degradation
and destruction of the spiritual and
physical elements in man through un-
bridled lust in the heart.
And now let us to the points. The
covenant by and between two human
beings-one man and one woman
to live together in the holy estate
contract man may make. Rest
ing as it should always rest-be
it not unholy and the child Of lust
upon growing and gracious love
one for the other-it is the grandes1
Of inter-human agreements. Upor
It's sancttty and preservation, as the
pledges of two people to lifelong
faith, done and given in the presence
of Almighty God, the glory Of OIL
Father and the happiness Of two
souls depend. AS civil contract il
IS the basis Of sound political ant
social life. Upon the inviolability ot
the marriage contract the health o.
the state. the integrity of the home
entirely depend. Marriage may, be
tore God, and should, throughout thi.
land and our world, be invalidatet
only upon full and sufficient proof O.
lnfldelity by either party. They wht
are in guilt should be denied further
rights to marry. The granting Of alb
solute divorce with permission to re
marry, for any cause other chan proved
unfaithfulness. is unwise, unsafe, un
Justlhable and un-Christian. Lega
separation and legalized imm oralit.
are two very different things. Tw'
people of such uncongenial disposi
ions, as preclude a happy common
lie, had much better pursue inde

sessions, in 1906, was go, ,182,24O. The
growth in population in Continental
United States from 1905 to 1906 was

Computed on the basis of the esti-
mate, the density Of population q
Continental United States in 1906 was
