The eight hour bill has passed
the senate by a unanimous vote.
The bill appropriating $4,000 to

A law has been passed at Boise

ed in this manner can collect

THE FREMONT VOTERS.

Men who voted for John C. Fremont
first candidate Of the republican party
are called to meet at Burlington, Sep
TENDER 10, with the idea of forming a
Fremont Voters Association" for the
First district. The time is we'll set
during Burlingtons "Old Home Week
and it is probable that all the republic
can voters of 1856 who are not too en-
feebled by age will meet there for a
double purpose; to meet the survivors
of, the party that offered the path
finder" as the candidate of a new par
,ty built upon the wreck of the outworn
whig organization to face new issues
and exigencies of government, as
well as to seek for Did friends and
neighbors among the crowd of home
corners.
The year 1856 is far back in time and
judged by the progress of the world,
and especially that part of the world
upon which the party hey founded has
eXerted so much and beneficent influ-
ence, farther back than the years in
dictate. The men who cast their first
ballot for Fremont are not less than

sembly, merely satisfying to the popu-

the recommendations of the governor
and the action of the legislature in
passing this long list of progressive
laws tend to encourage the people to
suspect integrity? Would caution
which prevented the passage of these
laws have been of benefit to the
people or would caution have partaken

Personal Immortality in the Light
of Recent Science" is the title of all
inspiring article. by Dr. Donald Sage
Mackay. in the June 21st number of
the North American Review. To-day"
he says, "a new voice is speaking in
scienc." To quote further:
AS the deeper facts of existence are
being traced in ways unknown in an
earlier day. the man Of science now
tells us that there is no scientific proof
of the i'm possibility of life after death
The science Of today does not under
take to prove Immortality, but neither
does she deny It, With the newer light
of recent research before her, she goes
thus far at least and says: 'Scientif-
ically, the doctrine of immortality is
not an impossible deiusion.' Huxley.
for example, in one of his later essays,
has this to say: If the belief in i'm
mortality is essential to morality,
physical science has nothing to say
againet tbs probability of that doc
trine 1t physical sciencel effectually
closes the mouths of those who pre-
tend to refute immortality by objec-
tions deduced from merely physical
data This attitude of Huxley has
found even more distinctive affirmati ton
in recent years from such men of sci
entific attainment as Sir Oliver Lodge,
John Fiske, Professors James ano

have written sympathetically and

Two young Chinese students at New
ton, Mass, have carried off the prizes
for best scholarship.
Only two graduates are reported this
year from the Hebrew theological
seminary in New York, and only one
from still older seminary.
A plea for the kindly treatment of
Chinese immigrants was made to all
Christian nations by the recent Shang-
hal Missionary conference.
The priest of a Roman Catholic
church in Troy, N. Y. invited the
secretary Of the local Y. NJ G.. A. to
speak at the opening of st. Joseph's
club and 1900 men heard the address.
What the present governor OF
North Carolina said to the present
governor of South Carolina was prob
ably something ecclesiastical, for both
gentlemen are Presbyterian elders.
One of the reactionary DEGREES of the
Chinese Empress dowager is that Con-
fucius shall be worshipped rs the

Here is the suggestion. Let half a

want none but Jewish families to APP
