THE STORY.

A CHAN looked about him. No other
n Israelite was in sight. In his Gag
erness to get into the midst of Jericho
he had left his comrades quite in the
rear, and as he went about applying
the torch that the city might be
burned as the Lord had commanded,
curiosity led him to enter wing of
what was evidently the kings pal
ace. and there before his eyes were
gold and silver and rich garments
scattered about in reckless profu-
sion
"They had gathered their treasure,
and then had to leave it behind In
Achan al he stopped and dug his
fingers into the silvery pile at his feet,
and then let the coins sift through
them with a merry jingle.
Beneath the coins thus displaced he
caught the CLEAN of gold, and push
ing the silver aside. eagerly, there
soon lay revealed before him a great
bar of rich yellow gold, He took 1t
in his hands 1t was more wealth than
he had ever held in his hands before,
and the wish half formed came into
his heart that it belonged to him.
Suddenly a voice seemed to speak
right at his elbow, saying:
"And ye, In any wise, keep your
seVes from the accursed thing, lest ye
make yourselves accursed. when yo
take of the accursed thing, and make
the camp of Israel curse, and trou-
BILE it,"
With start Achan looked about
him, letting the wedge of gold fall
upon pile of silver with clatter, but
he saw no one, and partly reassured.
he turned his eyes again upon the
glittering gold at his feet.
who was to know II he took just
this one piece of gold from the midst
of so muoh?" he asked himself and
his conscience answered back:
"But Joshua solemnly told us not
TO touch the accursed thing"
"Yes, but was not the gold and the
silver to be gathered and turned into
The treasury of the Lord2" questioned

make confession unto God"
This Aohan had to do. This
every soul must needs do,
But confession at the judg-
nent bar of God and confession
at the mercy seat Of God are
as different as life is from
death.
The confession which is
wrung from the unrepentant
heart brings with II no claim
for mercy, but the repentant
heart as it pours out it's confes-
sion of guilt may claim the
promise: "lf we confess our
sins God is faithful and just to
forgive US our sins and cleanse
US from all unriqhteousness."
1t is a solemn thought that
all things are to be revealed be-
fore God, Luke 12:2-5) I'VE shall
all stand before the Judgment
seat OF Christ. For 1t is writ.
ten, AS I live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to
God. SO then every one of us
shall give account of himself to
God"
Let us fix this thought in
mind, then, o soul: That con-
fession of the hidden things of
thy heart and life must be made
to God. It may be delayed, but
1t cannot be evaded. 1t must
come.
But When2 The time, the place,
are within the choosing of every
soul.
To-day If ye will hear his
voice." "Now is the accepted
time" This Is Gods call to
confession.
His voice sounds out from the
mercy seat where Christ the
crucified one stands to blot out
the transgression and save from
sin.
"Choose you this day." viii
you unfold your heart and life
to God and receive his mercy
and grace, or will you with re-
beIlious heart shut him out and
turn deaf ear to his cry as
he pleads: "Turn ye, turn ye,
for why will ye die?"
For such there Waiteth the day
of wrath and vengeance from God.
The day of grace sinned away, the
soul must at last appear before
God, there to make confession
to the sins of the life and the
heart. 1t will no longer be
matter of choice, but of absolute
necessity, for the searching eye
, of God will discover every hid,
den thing.
But oh, how vastly different
will that scene be from that
which it might have been the
privilege of the soul to enjoy.
No longer does the voice of God
SONiid ioitii iIoi' no oCal VI
mercy. The day of mercy has
passed. The day of judgment
has come, and the guilty soul
can find no refuge in which to
hide. The confession is wrung
from the unrepentant heart, and
the voice of God sounds from
the Judgment seat saying;
depart from me, ye that work
iniquity."

his Journey Already" said The man,
gently, as he bent to undo the
patched and mended harness from
The motionlcss animal. AS he spoke
he brushed his hand furtively across
his wcthcf-bcatcn face.
A crowd of the curious and idle
began to gather, some with flip
plant iests at the forlorn plight of
the two travellers, others touched
with pity at the tragic qualities of
The scene.
The old woman arose and looked
helplcssly from one face to another,
understanding only that each one
was strange, aud that the hill ken
try was yet far away.
"We-uns KEN from Tniiana," she
said, in hen slow, drawling tones, as
the crowd pressed nearer. "hIy son,
jim, lives thar--him an his wife
an ten children. We-uns went out
thar ter live, but Jim's wife, she
warn't willin', an 50 wc-uns started
back ter the hill kentry, whence

to blame.
"Ior', strangers, we-uns hope

ShipbuiIders' Strike.

Cleveland, o., March 13.-Oficials
of the international boiler workers
and iron shipbuilders' organization
and of the American Shipbuildlng
company concede that critical point
will be reached today in the strike Of
shipbuilding employees here and at
Lorain, o., and other points on the
lakes. The officials of the company
have persistently declined to treat
with the men on the subject of the
proposed concessions. and have adopt
ed policy OF refusing to discuss the
strike in any of its phases. 1t is
known. however. that they will regard
the fight as practically won If the men
in the Chicago and Bay City yards do
not go out.

THE TosAccoNisT's EFFleY.

One of the most peculiar things in
the whole history of signs is the
fact, that while all other shopkeep-
ers were patronizing the embryo
painters, the tobacconist always
called upon the wood carver on the
continent as well as in England. AS
long ago as Elizabeth's reign the
wooden image of the Black Boy was
the favorite sign of the tobacco
dealers. Later the customary sign
was the Highlander, or figure of
Sir Walter Raleigh.
In Holland, for some strange rea-
son, the tobacconists adopted the
dairy maid as their sign, with the
motto, "Consolation for sucklings." "
The Indian, naturally enough, has
always been the predominant sign in
this country, although once in
a while reversion to type crops out
with the ancient Black Boy.-The

fresh in his heart, took off his hat,
and dropping into it liberal Of
fering, passed the hat from one to
another, while a shower of silver
and bills fell into it, as if by a
magician's skill.
Even poor creature of the
streets, with haggard face and sin
haunted eyes, cast her last coin
among the others, then pressed her
way through the crowd to see the
ones who might be more wretched
than she.
The two women looked into each
others eyes-the one pair brim-
ming over with newborn gratitude
the other dim with awakened con-
science, and then the younger wom-
an threw herself down at the dusty,
tired feet of the elder, and kissing
the wrinkled hand, cried out:

A PROGRESSIVE BANQUET
Given BY the p. E. o. Sisternood of
Audubon October Oath

The p. f. O. Society have at last
taken up some of the new ideas re-
garding physical culture and diet.
Their first party of the season given
last Thursday night was on the physi-
cal culture or fatdeveloper, kind
Not that any of them need such treat
ment, far be it from suggesting such a
thing. 1t was a progressive hit and
miss supper, splendid in its entirety
and original in its conception. The
first place visited was the w. b. Da-
Wis home. In their parlors they were
given the first requisite of banquet
and received the sublime requisite of
a small boys early summer agony, a
snarly sour apple and were then mo-
toned out by ghosts who led them in
circuitous route, demonstrating
"When a chicken comes home to
roost" by introducing them to the hen
house which had been fitted up for the
occasion and q real banqueutwas SER
we'd. From there the ghosts started
them on to w. G. Elliott's. Here they
did more acrobatic stunts, by landing
in the room from a spring board i'm
provised from spring bed.
After the landing" they were ban
quoted until they clamored to Pass
on to the next port. BY the time
they reached w. Fl. Cowles' they were
ready for more play, more feast.
Silent ghoul like hands showed them
various places and more feasting and
merriment Again on the wing they
arrived at the E. Bilharz home. The
placard on the front door said try the
side entrance. This led them into the
cellar, which was dark and threaten
ing. Every post seemed a ghost
reaching out hands to grab them.
Finally they did get upstairs where
rumor, that tickle friend, says they.
tried to balance on pumpkin pie.
This was followed by more calisthenic
exercises to reduce the agony of over
eating. They hoped forward and
backward and around the room. We
were not present or we could tell
more. Could anyhow but suffice to
say the club had most enjoyable
time y ~

Halloween Tonight.

Tonight is Halloween. November
lst, is known as All Saints or All
Hallows Day and the night before as
Hallow Eve or Hallowe 'en. The word
hsllow means holy or sacred. Hal
low Day takes its origin from the con-
version of the Pantheon at Rome into
a Christian place of worship in the
seventeenth century when it was dedi-
Gated to the Saints. Halloween has
nothing sacred or churchly about it,
but is time for sports and practical
jokes This is probably the result of
an opinion that on the night before
All Saints Day, the spirits of the dead
are walking about according to a
pagan notion handed down from early
times. In some places it has become
time for annoyance and destruction
of property and its occurrence is much
dreaded by the people.

WE STAND CORRECTED.

We had short article in the Re.
publican last week for the purpose as
we stated there, of giving little in
formation concerning the county funds
and the reason why some warrants
were not paid this summer when they
were presented. In closing that article
we said "rhose that were short this
summer were the County and the
Bridge Funds, because about twelve
thousand dollars had been put in the
bank last spring and has been draw
ing interest-part of it at two per cent
and the other part at four per cent.
And it happened to the Treasurer Just
as it sometimes happens to men in
their private business, that he had not
kept enough to carry him through the
summer when the receipts are light
and the expenses continue just the
same.
Now comes Mr.. Kellogg the Treasur.
er and says that we didn't have COR
rect information; that our last state
ment was not correct; that the fact
that certain monies were ia the bank
drawing interest had nothing what
ever to do with the non-payment of
warrants; that they werenot paid when
presented because there was no money
in the county and bridge funds on which
they were drawn either IN The treasury
or 10 the bank. AS our object was
to give exact information concerning
the matter we take pleasure in making
this correction.

Court Has Adjourned

The District Court adjourned We'd
nesday morning after term of TIVE
weeks. Though much work was done
there was good deal left over for the
December term. The cases that excit-
ed particular interest the last week
were the ones against James Law,
charging him with rot furnishing suffi-
cient water for the stock in his pas
ture. After an all-night session of the
jury verdict of guilty was brought in
but the Judge only fined him ten dol
lars. The other was that eff the State
against B. B. Davis, ofCouncil Bluffs,
for securing property under false pre-
lenses. The evidence showed that
Hanford Buckner, Of this county. had
traded ten horses and $4,000 in cash
to Davis for section of land out in
Nebraska. When Buckner received
the deed he found the description re-
ferred to different section of land in
the sandhills and oil little value. Davis
claimed it was mistake but did not
take any steps to rectify it, The YER
dict of the jury was guilty and Judge
Thornell sentenced Mr.. Davis to two
years at hard labor in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison. A motion for new
trial was overuled and the bonds plac-
ed at 80, 100000 which he had not yet
secured this morning.

loss of their son who passed away at
eleven O'Clock Thursday morning Oc-

which commenced about a year ago
was caused by an injury ofwhich little
was thought at the time bat it devel-
oped into spinal trouble that defied
the skill of the physicians and the
constant care of the relatives and
friends. Claus was only fifteen years
of age but OF very kindly and pat.
lent disposition. The parents have
the sympathy of the community in their
affection. The funeral services were
held at the home Friday afternoon
conducted by Rev. D. C.. Macintosh
of the Presbyterian church and ii
large number followed the remains to
the cemetery at Audubon where they
were laid to- rest.
