THE PATH OF PEACE.


There is pleasant, peaceful path,
That winds among the hills,
Which make the world of human life,
And all its trying ills;
A path which shuns the stones of
strife,
The pitfalls Of deceit,
And makes life's journey pleasant,
quite,
To worn and weary feet.
1t passes down through Duty Grove,
And on by Friendly Vale,
And winds across the Plain Of Right,
An open, easy trail;
Then by where Kindness has her
home,
And Love is wont to stay,
And through the wood Of Charity,
1t takes its pleasant way.
It shuns the hill of Discomfort,
The rocky gulch Of Hate,
The caves of Envy, Spite and Greed,
1t does not penetrate;
But down Contentment s sunny slope
It winds mid blossoms sweet,
To where the wales Of Fellowship,
And Christian Kindness meet.
Then onward through the frowning
hills,
Which make the lives Of men,
Until it reaches Grave Yard Cove,
Down in Death s Silent Glen;
'And there it ends, beside mound,
The last abode of all;
The heritage which came to man,
Through Adam and the fall.
The man who treads this peaceful
path,
May have no sounding name,
May make no fortune, do no act,
To give him worldly fame;
But in the end, is just as rich,@
AS he who fights for gold;
And peace and love, and kindly
thought,
Will consecrate his mold.

for a UNCONVENTIONAL school, telling
them how far short of their duty they
would fall if they didn't give it,
when there was not member of said
congregation that was able to send his
children to said school.
There are many people who believe
in foreign missions that are abso-
lutely not able to support and edu-
cate their children and contribute any
thing to missions. I think it a sin
to spend ones money foolishly and
selfishly upon ones self and family
In extravaganza and riotous living, but
believe that when man spends
what he has to give his children ad-
vantages that will better fit them for
lite and make them better and more
useful men and women, he is just as
surely, even more surely, using it for
the honor and glory Of God than if he
gave it to foreign missions, to some
great UNCONVENTIONAL college, or to
any other cause.
One Of Mr. Watson s readers thinks
that when Mr.. Watson enters the do
main of the Church he is out of his
element, but it seems to me that it
might be better for the Church if
more OF the laymen and the thinkers
In other walks Of life had the courage
to crlticise it when they think it is
wrong. It would serve as a healthful
restraint upon ministers and reli-
gious leaders generally. Too many
people regard the Church with kind
Of superstitious awe, and seem to
think that if they should dare to OPP
pose any of its ways they would be
opposing the Lord himself If there
had never been man brave and true
enough to stand up and defy the es-
tablished order of things in Church,
We would never have had Protestant
Church. We would all still be CROP
ing in the blindness, ignorance and
bigotry of Catholicism.
On the other hand, it seems to me
that it would be much better if Chris
tian people concerned themselves
more about questions of State If
they would devote more of their en-
ergy toward getting the principles of
the man Of Galilee enacted into law.
Too many Christians look upon the
religion of the Son Of God as some
thing to save US in a world to come,
rather than something as we'll to make
this world a better place for the chill
dren of men to live in.
And so one preacher says that the
sermons they preach are weak and
trivial because the women make them
so. Oh, we'll, it was ever thus with
some men, when they make failure,
since the Garden Of Eden episode.
But that preacher wasn't a South
erner, was he?
1t is part of the daily prayer of
my life that I may ever have the
power to distinguish between the true
and the false-that I may see and
think clearly, unfettered and unin-
fuenced by popular opinions and cur
rent errors-that I may discern readi-

LONDON, Feb. 19.-That the Ser
Wan government must withdraw its
troops or fight, was in substance the
message sent by the government of
Austria to Servia. according to a dis
patch received here. and the general
impression seems to be that war will
be declared between the two nations.
The Austrian government claims
that the Seryian TROOPS have been
guilty of continual acts of depreda-
lions III the provinces Of herzegovina
and BOSNIA. and that il is a condition
of Affairs that 1t will no longer sub
NIT to. The message says that unless
the servian troops are disarmed. and
all depredations cease by February
"a. that the Austr an government will
declare war and rush its troops to the
frontier.
The news has been received with
much interest here. and considerable
speculation is bling INDUCED in as to
the outcome. The general impression
is. that war will follow be-
tween the nations, as it is not be-
lieved that servia win accept the uI-

BATTLE WITH
HIGHWAYMEN
Lumberjacks Refused to be Held

ceiyed by the officers, is believed to
be Ross Frazier, attempted to hold

Bailey. Deputy sherin Sawyer and
the officers OF this city are today
securing the country In search OF the
highwaymen. The attempted robbery
occurred at about Il O'Clock, and the
sheriff's office was advised, shortly
afterwadr, and the sheriff and his
deputy arrived on the boat today, but
though the officers have been making
vigilant search for the robbers they
had not succeeded in apprehending
them at late hour this afternoon.
Attempt Successfully Resisted.
The lumberjacks were returning
from a dive across the river and il
was on the bridge that the attempted
robbery was made. They had just
come In from the camps, and the two
highwaymen evidently thought that
they had considerable money on their
persons. The highwaymen ordered
the men to throw up their hands, but
instead of obeying the command they
resisted, and then a pitched battle
followed. The lumberjacks were vic
torious in their fight, but not until
one q them had been badly beaten

but even though they had been de-
feated the robbers would have Sc
cured but an Insignificant sum as the
had already deposited
their money in a bank and had but a
few dollars on their persons.

The resolution charged that the ir-

SNYDER CASE is
SENSATIONAL
In Answer Defendant Alleges
Socialism and Anarchism
as Cause for Divorce

Peter Snyder probably enjoys the
distinction of being the first litigant.
at least in this county. to allege soc
iaiism, anarchism, and atheism as
cause for the dissolution Of the mar
riage bond existing between himself
and Mary Snyder The case was
commenced In the district court !
couple Of weeks ago by Mrs. Snyder
iling a complaint against Snyder
wherein she charged cruel and inhu-
man treatment. and an answer has
been filed in the case by Snyder.
Snyder denies that he has been
guilty OF treating his wife in a cruel
and inhuman manner as alleged By
her In her complaint, and denies var
ious other allegations made on her
part. and then by way OF Affirmative
relief alleges cruel and inhuman
treatment upon him by the wife, and
also indebtedness.
He alleges that on February i.
1909, when he returned to his home
he found his wifes brother, John
Powers, with her, and that she told
him that she had sold a COW for $40.
and that he told her he could prob
ably get the COW back. and then he
alleges that the brother became In
furiated, struck him, and that
scuffle insued between them, and that
when It was over the brother said
Mary come and go with me there Il
no use Of living like Indians" and all
this, he says. caused him great ment-
al anguish.
He then alleges that in April, 1897.
when he returned to his home he OBJ
served marks upon his wife's face.
that when he inquired as to their
cause, she blushed and would not ex-
plain their cause: that the brother
was present. and when invited to
come to dinner he cried, and declined
to come. He alleges that in June,
1905, while he was at work at Wal
lace he received letter from his
wife telling him to not come home as
something serious would happen to
him If he did. and a few days after
ward another letter telling him that
she had been untrue to him and ask
ing forgiveness.
He then alleges that within the
last year at divers times his wife's
brother has been a frequent visitor
at their home. that he has preached
anarchy and atheism. and
taught the children to use vulgar
language, and that he ordered him
from the place. but his wife disre-
garded his wishes and continued to
let him come and that this caused
him great mental anguish.
He prays for dissolution OF the
bonds, and the custody OF
the eight children who range in age
from 3 Y to IL years

defendant and John Flynn the plain

CAPITOL SCANDAL
GROWS WARM
The Lie is Passed and Excitement
Runs High

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 1S.-The in
vestigation into the charges against
the capitol building commission. so
far as the senate state affairs commit
tee is concerned, came to an abrupt
end at $3.50 O'Clock today following
the most stormy session of the COM
mittee. An exciting climax was
reached when the lie was passed be-
tween Contractor whiteway of Mos
COW, who has stirred bitter feelings
against himself by his testimony
charging prominent citizens with at
tempts to extort money from him and
c. A. Elmer, private secretary to for
mer Governor F. R. Gooding. Mr.
Elmer was on the stand corroborat-
ing Gooding's testimony Wednesday
evening when the latter said White
way had sent a representative to him
and offered him money if he would
see that the state allowed his claim
of $1,000 for additional work on the
Big Creek wagon road. Elmer had
been Intercepted by several and
Whiteway asked permission to ques-
ton him. Elmer could not remember
the date Whiteway told him there
was something in it for the govern
or If the claim was allowed and
Whiteway asked:
Liar" Says Whiteway.
"As matter of fact, Mr.. Elmer.
are you not lying?" mo sir" retort-
ed Mr.. Elmer.
You're a liar" challenged White
way.
Elmer leaped to his feet from the
witness chair and moved as fast as
possible toward Whiteway, who stood
on the opposite side of senate desk.
You are a liar and you know it,"
shrieked Elmer. Whiteway moved
back and placing himself behind one
of the heavy desk chairs clutehed it
in a menacing attitude awaiting the
of the sergeant at arms and
his assistant and the doorkeeper.
Members of the commission and 9TH
ers rushed toward ELMER and induced
him to take his seat. while Assistant
Sergeant at Arms Taylor crowded
between the desks to White
ways side The excitement was over
in a momnt. women gasped and sew
eral who could find seats only at the
desks of absent senators beat a hasty
retreat.
Committee is Disguised.
The senate committee was disgust
ed with the incident and the testl-
mony adduced during the session.
Testimony apparently strengthened
the statements of those accused by
that he had made numer-
Ous attempts to bride private and
public citizens to obtain contracts.

CARLSON BANK DIVIDEND
APPROVED BY THE COURT
Receiver Lewis Is Ordered to Bring
Suit Against individuals Whose
Notes Are in His Hands

The report of Evan Lewis, receiver
of the Consolidated bank, which was
filed with Judge James of the superior
court last week, was approved by the
court yesterday, and the receiver was
instructed to declare the first dividend
of 20 per cent to depositors ofthe de-
funct institution. This payment is eX-
pected to be made some time next week,
Mr.. Lewis was also ordered to insti-
tute suit against individuals and con-
Germs whose notes he holds as receiver,
among them w. H. Carlson, who, as
president of the bank, borrowed large
sums of money, giving as security stock
in various companies he had promoted.
Mr.. Lewis expresses the belief that the
only security for these loans on which
he may be able to realize is Carlson's
Redondo railway, and as to other notes
he says he is doubtful if anything can
be recovered.
The cash in the receivers hands
amounts to $9295,S0, or $2772 more than
enough to pay the depositors one-fifth
of the money entrusted to the banks
keeping. The liabilities are 46940.43.
