THINGS.
UNJUST ASSAULTS.

It was an indiscreet utter1nce and unworthy of the great Methodist con- ference, when Bishop Nee.ey charged the Catholic church with Interference in politics in the United States. The careful and conservative student of religious and political conditions knows that the eminent churchman Is in error and that the accusation would apply to few If any denomina- tions.
 His charges of political play stand out all the more prominently at this time because they are reinforced by the utterances of another churchman of less distinction, who recently made what was a really vicious at tack upon the Roman Catholic re- ligion. He directed his utterances more particularly at the confessional. This churchman said among other things that the effect of the eonfes- sional on the priest was bad. and that it presented the temptation, ire quently yielded to. of abusing the condolences they receive.
 It would be a waste of time and energy to discuss such :n attitude. But 1t may be interesting to call at- tention to the case of Abbe Druneau. convicted of murder some twelve years ago. and guillotined in accord snce with that conviction. The abbe was convicted of staying a woman. but he confined his defense to the earnest statement that he was inno- cent. Seven years after ais death 1t was found that his houSekeeper. La Jeanette. was guilty of the murder. On her death bed she made full con fession of the crime.
 She had confessed her guilt to the Abbe Bruneau after committing the murder and had thus made it im- possible for him to. In any way, d. rect suspicion at her.
 The priest who endured q shame full death could have freed himself at once bv breaking the seal of the con fessionaL But. taught by his re- liKion that 10 earthly power could 1 free him from his VOW of secrecy. he carried the vomau's confesslon with him to the grave and died in her place.

ARTS AND CRAFTS SOAP.

Many persons will not make their own soap simply because they say that potash ruins the hands. I won der how many of these ever went into a soap factory and saw the bad fat used. In the old days all the Puritans made their own soap. All the fat was saved through the win ter and also the wood ashes. The first thing was to make the I've. Wa ter was poured over the ashes and after 1t had run off was put with the grease, and boiled. It took a whole day to fuss and no one was ever sure it was right.
 Now that the Arts and Crafts make all members use their hands 1t Is the duty of every woman who keeps a maid to make her soap.
 So many servants when they mar ry have drunken husbands. asked one man who worked very hard dur ing the week why he did not rest on Sunday. Said he: There Is no rest in our place. My wife and her friends do all their cleaning on Sunday, sweeping, and dusting; all windows are open and not quiet place for tired man to rest. Then he looked round for the saloon. I asked the woman for her side and she said she had lived with some very rich people who never looked after things and she became waste full and was no help for a poor man. She said he gave her very little to keep house on, so she being a good washer and ironer. took in work and Sunday was the only day she had to do for her own home. Now it is not stingy of rich people to stop waste. "Wilful waste makes woful want. and if every house. keeper would pay cash and look a little more in the refrigerator. many men would he saved money and maids make better wives. Stop bridge for a little while.
 This is the soap that Arts and Crafts make. Try 1t. See if you do not like 1t.
 One pound can of potash. five and one half pounds of grease (strain- ed1; one-half cupful of ammonia: one-half pound package of borax Dissolve the potash in three pints of cold water. This causes the wa- ter to boil. When cold stir in the melted grease, then the ammonia and lastly the borax, stirring con- stantly. Pour Into pasteboard boxes to cool, and when cold, cut in squares, a few drops of oil of sassa- frass for perfume.

GIVEN THROW DOWN
John Farrell Spent Best Years of His Life on Bethany Farm.

John Farrell, of Bethany. may have to live over the last twenty-five years of his life. If he does 1t will be in the district court he will do 1t. Farrell is the son of man who went to the civil war and lost his life. He lived then in New Haven and in some way he came to be apprenuced as farmers boy to Ava K. Munson and his wife Betsey who ran farm in Bethany. At that time he was twelve years of age and his term of apprenticeship was to run till he was IS. Farming agreed with the young fellow. He liked the life and so, when his term of service had expired he showed no inclination to leave or change his mode of life, so he con tinued on the farm, with the agree ment, 1t is said, that Mir Munson was to take proper care cf him as long as he remained on the farm. and If he was still there at the time of MT Munson's death, he vas to be remembered in his will.
 dTTciI HOW JCdio VI uSS' 'AS lost track of his folks long ago. He considers himself too far advanced in years to attempt change of life but he nevertheless, finds hlmself in a strait that may mean something entirely new to him, after spending the best part of his life fully twenty five years on the same farm and in the same capacity, farm hand.
 In 1901 Mrs Munson died and about a month ago MT Munson fol- lowed, leaving a family, md his daughter Florence Munson was ap- pointed administrator on his estate, for, notwithstanding his alleged promise to Farrell, he left no will.
 Now Farrell wants a reckoning, in view of the fact that MT Munson did not do as he promised to, according to Farrells claims, remember him in his will. He put in claim to Miss Munson for his services but she is said to have ignored it.. Then Farrell sought the assistance of Attorney c. w. Bauby who this morning sent to Miss Munson a bill for $T,500 for Farrell's services for the past twenty five years, at the rate of $25 a month. If Miss Munson decides to deny the claim, suit will be in- stituted against her fathers estate and thus Farrell, the farmers ap- prentice will have to go over his life from the time he was IS years of age when his period of apprenticeship to Munsons expired.

THE POLICE COURT.
Squabble in Brooklyn District Put
 Over Until Tomorrow.

A woman, having rented apart ments in a building owned by Daniel J. Mahaney in the Brooklyn district, 1t occurred to his son William last evening upon seeing her, to ask when she would take possession of then, for 1t Is some time since she secured them. For an answer the woman hit him one in the left side of his face that staggered him. Then he com panion, q man and two others who were following immediately behind her went for Mahaney, who is q strapping fellow. and there was q general mixup. Mahaney, large as he Is was no match for three Poles and in consequence his right hand was in a sling to-day, some of the fingers being sorely injured. and his right arm is somewhat out of kilter al"o. He was in such q state tlnt he deemed 1t prudent to call for help and Oficer Francis Moore, happening to be near at hand took Benjamin Ches- son Into custody. The, case was called in the city court to-day bur as tllt sidte Wds 1Ul Ttdus lO Sb ultilt 1t went over to tomorrow.

and working shoulder to shoulder un
til they accomplish their aim.
The subject matter that will re
ceive rapt attention from ever,
settler will be the request for ar
appropriation by congress of the
S35O,0OO asked for in the agreement
of the Lower Milk River Waite,
Users association and the reclama-
ton service. Every man who wishes
to see work hastily pushed on the
Dodson canal should be present, and
do his mite, in getting appropriate
resolutions to congress. The presence
of every member of the Water Users
Association is earnestly beseeched,
and those who have not as yet signed
their names to the membership roll
should at once become members in
order to expedite these matters.
Every farmer is we'll aware that
the irrigation laws of the state con-
flict considerably with those of the
national irrigation laws, and are in
way a great detriment to the recla-
nation service, often hindering it
from going ahead and accomplishing
what they have in view. As the
state legislature meets next January
it will be an opportune time at this
meeting to pass fitting memorials to
the legislature, requesting them to
take such action upon the water laws
of the state as will conform with the
rule of the Reclamation Service, and
also appoint Legislative committee
to look after this matter.
Another question, which is per-
haps the most important, and one
that everyone will be interested in,
is that of sending another delegation
to Washington. This matter has
been very thoroughly discussed by
the people turnout the entire valley
and the concensus of opinion is that
a delegation, by all means should be
sent to the seat of government and
urge upon more speedy completion
of the St. Mary's Milk River Project.
Some appear to be of the opinion
that a delegation of at least three be
sent to Washington and there make

matter that no one mind should dis.

to the good sense of the meeting next
Wednesday. But we earnestly hope
that 1t committee is again sent. it
Will be composed of men of the
same stamp as the men that COM
posed the last delegation, who will
not hear to the word NO, and who
are capable of properly showing the
Washington officials their error. if
they are in the wrong.
The matter of the farm unit under
this project will also receive it's share
of attention, and as this matter is
being daily discussed by farmers re-
siding under the Malta Dodson-G las-
gov canal, it will be good time for
those interested to be present and
there present their views. While as
matter OF fact, it has been practic-
ally settled that the unit shall re-
main 100 acres, the ten year pay
ment plan does not meet with
hearty approval of all concerned, the
twenty year payment plan would be
Tar more favorable to the majority of
the settlers, who are not in possession
OF too much of these worldly goods,
and the ten year payment plan will
no doubt work a hardship on quite a
few settlers. The association promo
SEES to memorabilia congress to change
the present plan of payment and ex-
tend it to twenty years. 1t is hoped
that those who wish for this change
will turn out and attend the meeting

The meeting of the United Mill
River Irrigation association, which
will be held in Malta next Wednesda,
afternoon, promises to be one of the
most interesting gatherings ofsettler
ever assembled, not only from point
of large attendance, but the sub ject>
that will be discussed are of vita
lnterest to every citizen residing
within the confines of this great
agricultural empire, which is just
beginning to be recognized by the
outside industrial world. The Milk
River Valley the past 25 years has
been known as the greatest grass
country in the west. The wonderful
beeves that were maketed from it's
bountiful range are still fresh in the
memory of every resident, be he an
old timer or a new conner. Its repu-
tation is known throughout all the
great cattle markets of the east and
the west. But it has only lately
dawned upon those who are seeking
to invest their surplus cash that the
Milk River Valley is really and truly
abe great landof Milk and Honey,
which the poets so often love to
rhyme. The eyes of the effete east
are upon us,and this fact is recognized
by the people who are interested in
this valley, they have laid all other
matters aside and stepped upon this
battle of human progress, like knights
of old with shining lances and spurs
of gold, and are going to respectfully
ask our national government to come
to their assistance and give them
what rightfully belongs to commun-
ity that in itself is an empire, with
treasures within reach of the poor as
well as the rich. What the people
want is water, and plenty of it. The
work, which was started on the bod
SON Malta-Glasgow canal, this
spring, and which is progressing so
tavorably, has acted like magic fire
npon the settlers throughout the
length and breadth of the valley.
They have realized at last what can
be accomplished by amalgamating
their entire forces into one big union

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
were handled; for, even allowing for
the vast army Of men, some sort Of
mechanical continuance must have
been used.
One theory is that as each course
OF stone was laid a sand smbankment
was built around 1t with long, easy
slopes so that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and Slid into place, without any actual
lifting, and so on, the pyramid being
