The Master Life.

Rev Albert Buxton. Phi. D., spoke at
the Central Christian church last night on
Principles of Action in Christs Life
DIR. Buxton took for his text Phil. IS, D.,
Let this mind be in you which was also
in Christ Jesus DR.. Buxton SAID IN
part:
''No life has succeeded that had not
some abiding principles OF action a
double-minded man is uncertain, unstable
in all his ways Napoleon was ever true
TO his ambition and could be cruel to feed
his unSelfishnesS- Savonarola was con-
slant to his faith. though they burned
his body Both Napoleon and Savonarola
succeeded ia his own peculiar line. though
one was consigned to st. Helena and the
other to the flames.
'The master life had its undertaking

he was ever true, and failure in any one
of which would have made the Son of
Man unworthy to be at the same time

He had one purpose. The kingdom of
heaven TO him was not many goodly pearls
but one pearl of great price Salvation
was not guarding nnety-nine safe folded
sheep but seeking the one lost. No man
may be teacher until ne has one ideal
of possible acknowledgements: no man can
be a great statesman until there is some
one great cause like Demosthenes' fight
against Philip or LincOln's struggle to
save the union; no young man may get a
grasp on life until he is ready to say with

cross. This shadow always went before:
but he did not turn from IT, He met it

Berlin Regards It As Another Step For The
 isolation of The FatherIand
The German Press Generally Regards the Situation Grave and One Which Calls for the Exercise of Firmness.

Berlin, June 7.-The meeting be- tween King Edward and the czar at Reval on Tuesday next. coming inn mediately after the long conferences between King Edward and President FaIlieres is evidently causing the German statesmen much uneasiness and this feeling is easily read be- tween the lines of the many edito- rials in leading German papers com menting upon an event which can not be interpreted to mean anything but as the crownfng triumph of King Edwards masterful diplomacy and the complete isolation of Germany in Europe.
 Not one of the large German pa pers tries to conceal this fact and the most optimistic of them express their belief in peace only because the Ger man army is feared, not because there exists any friendship for Ger many anywhere.
 The Berlin Taegliche Rundschau" says: The meeting of the emperor of India and the emperor of all Rus sias at Reval which is soon to be followed by a visit of President Fal- Heres to St. Petersburg are signifi-

WILHELMS WAGES
 10 BE INCREASED
At the Same Time Those of Officials Of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Berlin, June 7-The demand of the kaiser for an increase of his civil list is apt to benefit all the government officials of the kingdom of Prussia. It is generally admitted that the increase cannot be allowed unless the salaries of all government officials be increas- ed at the same time because the same reasons upon which the kaiser found his demand apply with equal force to the officials of the government.
 The kaiser is going to get what he asks for, but not until an increase of salaries has been granted which will mean an added expense of one hun dred and thirty million marks annual ly. How the Prussian treasury is go- ing to provide for this, none seems to know at present
 The kaiser who contends that the increased cost of living for his nu- merous family make it impossible for him to get along on his present salary now has an income of S15,719,296 marks as King of Prussia
 In 1920 the king received only 7,000,000 marks, but in 1858 this allow ance was increased with a million and a half, in 1868 with three millions and in 1889 during the second year of the reign of the present kaiser with three millions and a half.

THIRTY=THRtE CAME
 FROM JAWS OF DEATH
The Rescue Of all the Men Entombed in the Gold King Mine.

Silverton, Colo, June 7.-The thirty three entomhed men in the Gold King mine ct Gladstone have been rescued after a night of daring work by a score of men. They were brought up by a third rescue party.
 Three men had been missing since Thursday nights fire and the others were members of two rescue parties.
 On Thursday night a fire was dis covered in the engine room of the mine and before it could be brought under control, the building destroyed as well as the shaft house. The two buildings were located near the portal door oe the main shaft and to prevent the spread O. the flames and the ac- cumuIation Of smoke in the workings of the doors were closed temporarily. Before taking the precautionary move the men working on the night shift in the mine were notified of conditions on the surface and instructed to with draw.
 When the flames were eNtinguished and the list checked up. the discovery was made that three men were miss ing. Immediately efforts to rescue them were started, but there was little hope of reaching them alive, as the machinery operating fans had been put out Of commission by the destruction of engine house and the pure air that might have reached them from the sur face had been shut off by het closing of tl-e portal doors.
 The first ones to enter the mine re- turned in haste and informed those waiting that the mine was filled with foul air and that it was almost impOs- sible to breathe it. The men express

cant events of the greatest political importance.
 Tn spite of all alliances against Germany and in spite of King Ed wards permanent anti-German pOli- ties peace will be preserved, even if we dare protest against the actions of France, because all Europe fears the German army. Nevertheless the situation is an exceedingly grave one which replfres Re utmost firmness on the part of the German govern ment''
 The Hamburger Nachrichten" is plainly afraid of the growing friend ship between England and Russia, and says: France hopes that her alliance with Russia on one side and England on the other will give her an opportunity of getting revenge. It is our duty under these conditions to set aside all minor interior quarrels and to strengthen our military and naval resources so that we if neces- sary may be ready to fight war on two frontiers
 The official press is ominously si- lent or makes light of the situation, but does not even try to overcome the general feeling of uneasiness.

Two MexiCans Settle a
 Family Feud.
Both Were Badly Wounded
 and are Now in Jail.

Tucson, June 7.-(Special "A bloody duel or duello was fought yes terday at Helvetia, mining camp southeast of here, between Arnulfo Pena and Jose Sanchez. Both were rested this morning and brought to the county jail.
 About three months ago a young sister of Sanchez eloped with A. Preciado. who was afterward arrested on a charge of Kidnapping. the par ents~ of the girl claiming that she was only fifteen years old The charge was afterward dismissed and Preciado and the girl were married
 A few nights ago at a ball Pena made some slurring remark about the girl in the hearing of Sanchez, who resented it and threshed Pena. Yes terday afternoon they met at Hel- vetia and Pena told Sanchez that he was drunk when he took a whip ping. Now he said he was prepared to fight. He had gun and told Sanchez to get one and to begin firing as soon as they met next.
 Sanchez armed himself and the duelists met in about half an hour and opened fire at once. At the first vOlley Sanchez fell, shot through the hip. He lay on the ground and con tinued firing and once reloaded his revolver. Altogether twenty-one shots were fired. Pena also reloading. Fir ing ceased only when the ammuni- ton was exhausted. Only two shots took effect, the one in Sanchez's hip and one in the hand of Pena. The bullet ranged upward and lodged in his arm, near the shoulder.

 FOR ARIZONA
One of the PIaaks of the
 Republican Platform
An Outline of the DecIara- tiOn to Be Made by Chi cagO Convention.

Washington, June That the plat form which will be adopted at the Chicago convention on which the re publican party VIII stand during the next campaign, has been completed with the exception of a few details which will be left for the committee on resolutions to insert. is the opinion of many in the confidence of republi- can leaders.
 This work has been done by Wade Ellis. attorney general of Ohio. Sena- tor Hopkins of Illinois; Senator Long of Kansas, and a few others, including the president and Secretary Taft, who have been freely consulted. The poli- cies of President Roosevelt will be en- dOrsed unequivocally. Endorsement will be the central idea of the docu- ment.
 Specifically speaking. more attention has been given by the platform mak- CTS to the tariff than to any other subject. There will be an unequvo- cal declaration for revision. but the disposition is to leave the working out of the details to the ingenuity Of con gress.
 Protection will be endorsed in gen eral terms, and there may be a decla- ration favorable to a maximum and minimum tariff as the one best cal culated to insure the promotion of American interests under varying con ditions. Next to the tariff. the finan- cial plank received the most careful attention, but the enactment of the emergenty currency law rendered the preparation of this plank much simp- Ter than if there had been no such legislation.
 The president will be given much
