President Roosevelt that the amend
ment to the immigs alton bill was en-
tirely satisfactory to them. Secre-
tary Root participated in the confer

A Lively Blaze Sunday Night.

At 1880 o'clock Sunday night
peal turned in from Box 43 aroused
many people and a glance from their
windows and doorways gave evidence
that, in this instance, it was not a
false alarm. The first glare was
from Hunts confectionery store, and
so rapid had been its progress that
the whole building seemed to be
ahame before it was known to have
been afire. 1t was not long, however,
before our ever-active firemen had
several streams on the burning build
ing; but so firm a hold had it OBJ
tanned upon the wooden framework
and the combustibles inside, that it
was with difficulty prevented from
obtaining a similar start on the Ha-
worth two-story building next door
on the east. AS it was, the roof was
on fire several times. and the water
used in its eXtinguishment flooded
the living rooms above and store be-
meath, damaging furniture and goods
to the extent of q couple of hun
dred dollars besides repairs on the
building. Mothers barber-shop and
Miles shooting gallery, side-pockets
to the Hunt establishment, were like
wise damaged, the former probably
to the extent of a couple of hundred
dollars and the latter to the value of
half dozen guns, probably worth
$75. Mr.. Hunt places his loss at ST.
200 with 81, 900 insurance. The build
ing was owned by Mr.. A. o. Damon,
of Damon, on Gray's Harbor.

Terrible Injury From q Horse.

Mr.. Geo H. Uhler, Deputy Treas
urer of this county, was fearfully
injured by kick of his horse last Fri
day night, while stabling the animal
on his farm east of Tumwater. The
left side of his face was terribly
crushed by stroke from the horses
hoof, his nose was crushed, the bone
being shattered at well as those
of the upper jaw. 1t is reported
that portions of the bones protrud-
ed through the roof of his mouth.
A son of the injured man dragged
him from under the horses feet and
carried him to the house, when DR..
Redpath was summoned. The pa
tent remained unconscious for a
while and was Eighty at times,
though able to converse nationally.
The wounds will probably not en-
danger life unless blood poisoning
sets in, but full restoration of fea-
lures is almost hopeless. The vic
tim has the heartfelt sympathy of
the whole community in his terrible
misfortune and if prayers avail will
retain no lasting effects from the
dreadful ordeal.

Marriage Of Fool and Simpleton.

OTegonian: A young white woman
twenty-five years of age was married
in Seattle. February l. to q Japanese
waiter. Less than two months later
she became tired, possibly Disguised,
and left him, and he has appealed to
the police to help him locate and re-
apture her. The husband in this
case is entitled to more sympathy
than the wife. Her plight is in a
sense pitiful, since it is the plight of
a fool; his is pitiful because it is the
plight of a well-meaning simpleton.

Unity the Central Idea Of Christian Faith.

Rev. G.. Taylor Griffith, at St.
Johns Church, last Sunday morning,
speaking on the subject of Unity"
said in part that the universe shows de-
sign and harmony is Gods law. The
Sun is the central body of our plane
tary system. If the planets should
not revolve in harmony with the
law governing their movements,
chaos would follow. The plant, ami
NAL and all animate nature, perform
the functions of their creations &C
cOrding to the Creator s will. In Or
der that there should be harmony in
Christian life, there must be unity
in the home; the man should love his
wife; she should obey the husband as
the Bible teaches. If the head of the
family is not Christian, and the
wife q devotee of the faith and yields
obedience to her husband, there will
be lack of unity in that home, a de-
plOrable state of things to contem-
plate. The rector also remarked he
was anxious to have unity prevail in
his parish, among men, women and
children, fulfilling Gods blessed COM
mandment. Satan is the discOrdant
factor in mans life, here on Earth;
stirs up discord and strife in direct
opposition to the teachings of Jesus
Christ, which cause incalculable mis-
chief, make countless thousands to
mourn and to be wretched in this
transitory mortal life. Men and wo-
men are but the expressions of the
spirit that actuates them for good or
i'll. That cardinal virtue, Divine
Love, ought to be cultivated in the
hearts of Christians, in order to
make them reflect truly the image
of their Creator.
