DANCE NOT EVIL IN ITSELF.
Presbyterian Divine Says as ParIor
Amusement Dancing Is Not Harm
fuI. But Flaws the Public Dance.

Seattle, Feb. 20.-That the dance
In the parlor, under proper conditions
and In the presence of the parents
or a reliable chaperon, is not essen
TALLY evil Is the opinion OF Rev. M.
A. Matthews, given In a sermon at
the First Presbyterian church Sun
day night. He said, however, that the
public dance hall is a menace to the
morals, to health and to life itself.
He said while the private and re-
spectacle dance may be INDUCED in
without injuring the participants or
making them amenable to any hu-
man or divine law. It adds nothing to
spiritual growth. nothing to intellec-
tual development. and should be dis
pensed with by the self-sacrificing
Christian for the benefit OF his soul.
He said the waltz Is not the most
graceful form Of dance and suggest
ed that some other form be substi-
tuted.
I'm beginning this series OF SER
les OF sermons on Drawing the Line
every phase OF Christian conduct and
relationship will be discussed.
There is a line drawn by the ma.
ture OF things; there is a line drawn
by the proprietles of life; there is a
line drawn by the eternal principle of
right. OF course the eternal principle
OF right fixes the boundaries of all
these lines, because expediency pro-
priety and nature must be governed
by the everlasting laws of righteous
ness.
ut would be well for every one to
admit the existence OF the eternal law
Of right Sin is not relative term:
1t is the eternal principle Of evil.
Therefore. sin, as a dominant force.

IDAHO USES NATIVE COAL.
Gem State Has Extensive Deposits
Which Are Being Opened.

Which Are Being Opened.
The Horseshoe Bend coal company
has arranged to place in the market
some of its coal, says the Boise Capt.
any considerable quantity to be
brought in, reached here today from
the mine for the Boise Gas company.
There are large quantities Of he
coal already uncovered. The vein
has been traced for more than mile
and a half in length and for more
than three-quarters of a mile in
width. Six distinct veins are visible
in this distance. The one from which
coal is now being taken is six feet in
width, much wider than are many Of
the richest veins of the Pennsylvania
coal fields.
The coal burns readily and gives
good heat. A small quantity was
burned in this office today and the
results were beyond expectation.
Hi Henry, who is principal owner
of the stock Of the company. has
great plans in view for building up
industries at Horseshoe Bend. He
expects to put in a large gas plant
and pipe the gas to all the surround
ing points including Boise, which he
believes will be cheaper than any
other method of handling the pro-
duct. He also expects to have estab-
lished coking ovens to use up the
product and smelters for the coke and
to handle the ore at Pearl and other
points.

CoNvICTs DON'T SILVER.
Seattle Minister Thought Prisoners
Insufficiently Clothed.

NIOtiiS0.
A dispatch from Walla Walla to
the Oregon Daily Journal, says:
Charges made by Rev. Van Horn,
a Seattle minister, that the convicts
at the penitentiary are not properly
clothed has created considerable feel
ing against the preacher on the part
of the prison officials, who assert that
the statements attributed to Mr.. Van
Horn are without foundation.
Mr.. Van Horn spent several weeks
in Walla Walla last month holding
revival services. One Sunday he Wis
tied the penitentiary and held SER
vices for the convicts. The peniten-
tiary is not provided with a chapel
and the meeting was held In the pris-
on court.
Being 6 cold. raw day the convicts,
compelled TO stand still during the
services. felt the chill air. Mr. Van
Horn observed "ague-like' symptoms
in the prisoners and concluded they
were not provided with suitable cloth
ing. which he charged in sermon
before his congregation at Seattle last
Sunday morning.
Warden Reed denies the charges
and says the convicts are as warmly
clad as the inmates of any prison in
the United States.
The principal charge of Rev. Van
Horn is that the convicts are not pro-
vided with underclothing. but this is
denied by the warden, who states
that Walla Walla firm recently sup
piled the convicts with 200 suits,
which is only one of several lots of

TO RIDE EDITOR ON RAIL.
Mob Formed TO Punished Newspaper
Man Who Opposed Gambling.

What was said to be an effort to
storm the office of the Wardner
News, ride the editor, w. L. Penny,
out of town on rail and demolish
the presses and other furnishings, was
thwarted last night after the town
authorities. having been told of
brewing of trouble and the formation
of mob of enraged citizens, had
sworn in extra policemen and station
ed them at advantageous places in the
line of attack, says a Wardner, Idaho,
item.
At o'clock this morning the mob,
which II is alleged was formed of
sympathizers of the move In favor of
opening gambling, had not made an
attack. The regular police officers
were stationed at the printing office
and It Is this precaution that nipped
the move in the bud.
For three months Wardner has ex-
perlenced redhot fight over the
gambling question, the News taking
the anti-gambling side and support
ing II. w. Vannorman for mayor to
take the place Of DR.. Hugh France,
resigned. At a meeting of citizens al
legged to favor open gambling held re-
Gently, Mr.. Flaig was endorsed for
mayor, Because of the resignation Of
DR.. France the city council will ap-
point a substitute, At the first ses-
sion of February an Intellectual at

man.

lieves the mob was composed entire

County Too Popular.

Marion county has poor farm and
hospital service that is so good it ac-

having use for such institutions come
from other parts of the state and even
from other states and apply for ad-
