Robbed Of Fifty Dollars.

The fact that it does not pay 70 do
acts of charity in this twentieth Gen.
tury Vas demonstrated 10 Julesburg
last Saturday morning in . way which
will not soon be forgotten. especially
by Frederick Flick. Mr. Flick arrived
here from Southford about the middle
of last week and formed the acquaint-
ance of stranger whom he CHANGED
to meet here. The man had been
staying around town for a few days
and on Thursday evening he and Flick
slept in the Brown hotel together.
Again on Friday night the two men Sc.
cured room at the same hotel and
about 300 O'Clock Saturday morning
one of the men around the hotel noticed
man leave the hotei rather suddenly.
At first lie thought nothing of the
matter, but later concluded he would
look out and see weere the fellow had
gone. There was no train due at that
time so he began 10 wonder where the
man was going. By the light of the
electric light which is located in front
of the hotel he spied man making his
way along the railroad going east.
the matter did not interest him much
and was soon dismissed from his mind
entirely. In the morning when Mr..
Flick awoke he discovered that his
companion was not III the room. How
ever, he thought nothing of this until
lie got out of bed and begun to dress
when he di>coeered that fifty dollars
which he had in his trouser pocket was
missing Then he made hast to dress
ana look after the whereabouts of his
friend, but it was too late for no trace
OF him could he found. The sheriff
WAS put on the case but up to the
present time no Trace OF the unfaithful
friend has been found. A reward has
been offered for his apprehension but
it is hardly possible that he will be
captured.

Both of the Julesburg milliners held
their spring openings the latter part OF

were visited by a large number of the

fine millinery was quite extensive.
All of the goods shown are in strict
keeping with the most ad vanced styles
in the larger cities and there is no
reason why the ladies should not be
able to get what they want without
leaving town.

One day last week a young man ar
rived in Julesburg from Montana and
put up at one of our hotels. Some
time during the day he ran across a
friend and invited him up to his room
to have drink. When they reached
the young mans apartments it was to
discover that some person had pre-
coded them and stolen the bottle
This did DOT seem to please the young
fellow SO he proceeded to start out on
mission of apprehending the pilferer.
The longer he searched the madden
he seemed to get and finally he began
brandishing large gun at the same
time making threats Of violence. But
later there was sort Of reaction set
in and realizing that he had made a
mistake in allowing himself to become
over excited the fellow got aboard one
Of the outgoing trains and left town.

Large Attendance at M. E. Church.

On sunday evening Mrs. j. +. Har-
ris, of A>hbury, Denver, one of the
most active workers in the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society in this
part OF the state. addressed large
audience in the Methodist Episcopal
church at this place on the subject OF
missions. Mrs. Harris made highly
interesting talk and showed that she
is quite familiar with the noble work
which this grand society is doing
throughout the word. During her dis
course she made use of statistics which
gave her hearers an idea Of the mag
nltude of the work now being done and
the charming manner in which she
presented her facts was appreciated
by everyone present.
During the recital of her illustra-
trations Of what self denial would do
for the cause of missions Mrs. Harris
caused ripple OF laughter among
some OF the young ladies present when
she informed them what it would mean
for them to spend the money for mis-
sions which they use in the purchase
of sweet meats. Sh" seemed very sin
cere in her efforts to induce folks TO
give more literally t. the support of
the foreign missionaries and made the
surprising statement that if all the
members of the Methodist Episcopal
church in the state of Colorado would
give the small sum of ten cents per day
they could pay off the entire endebted-
ness of all the churches in The United
States, pay the salaries of all the pas
tors for one year and then have a neat
sum in the treasury to be applied on
foreign missions
The society il Julesburg is quite
actively engaged in the missionary
work and the fact that they sent TO
Denver and had Mrs Harris come here
to give lecture on this subject is
alone sufficient evidence to satisfy the
minds of the skeptical At the con-
clusion of the address a collection was
taken upwhich amounted to consider
ably over thirty dollars.

The past few days have not been
very favorable for making garden or
doing spring blowing, but we are liv-
ing in hopes that the weather man will
get his machinery in proper running
order soon. Considerable snow has
fallen but it does not seem to have the
staying qualities and melted almost as
fast as it fell. The storm which passed
over the state last week seemed to hit
Julesburg very light, but Denver and
some of the towns west of here suffered
quite extensively from its ravages.
The damage to telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires was reported
to reach many thousands of dollars.

from their fall. Well, after all this had
taken place, the human race was allowed
to go ahead and multiply for 1000 years,
when all at once God repentcd that he
had ever made man, and because they did
not act as he thought they would, he pro-
ceeded to drown them all, except Noah
and his family, for their wickedness. That
flood continued on the earth for $50 days
five months.) God commanded Noah to
build an ark, and to gather male and fe-
male of every living creature into the ark
Just how Noah caught all these animals
and birds and insects and snakes is not
revealed in the story. The text says that
all the high hills on the earth were COW
cred with water. This must have been
SO, for the ark rested on the top of Mt.
Arrarat, which is at least "a miles high
(measured by HumboIdt.) The text says
"the waters finally assuaged." Where
did they assuage to? They did not evapo-
rate and leave the EARTH as the law of
gravitation prevents anything from leav-
ing the earth. How did the animals and
birds survive after they were turned out
of the ark? Everything on the face of
the earth was swept away and destroyed.
A theologian will tell you that God was in
the miracle business at that time. 1t re-
quired miracle to bring the water and
another to take it away. and still another
miracle To produce food for the living
creatures when they were turned out on
that bleak and barren mountain. All
scientific men deny the operation of mira
cles; they know that the laws of nature,
the law of gravitation. must be suspended
before a miracle can be performed. That
is the story that the church has held up
for 1000 years as being one of God s
greatest performances. That story may
be inspired. but it is not true; it never
happened

In the destruction of the city of Sodom
and Gomorrah. when God rained fire and
birthstone upon them and burned them
up, we have fine argument between
Abraham and God. Abraham insisted
that there were many good people in the
cities and ii would not be fair to kill all
the good ones in order to catch the bad
ones. God fixed the number of good ones
in the city at 80 persons, but upon inves-
tigation Abe could not find so many; so
he talked the Lord into dropping to 40;
but Abe could not find so many, and then
down to %, but they could not be found
So God finally said if you cannot find 10
good ones then l will let loose the brim-
stone. Abe could not find even ten.-so

Now, honor bright, what kind of IA God
would stop to truckle with man about

Sounds like boys play. The people over

about heaven and hell. (The Jewish hell
meant the grave, hades; they knew moth
ing about the Christian hell, where souls
are burned forever and forever) So they
decided to build 4 tower up to heaven,
that they might learn something about the
place without first dying to get there.
The text says, that call The people on
the earth ut that time spake he same lam
guage.' Do you believe there ever was
time when all the people spoke the same
language? 1t is not true now and was
not then. God 5 anger was kinded about
that time and he decided to put stop
to the building of the tower, and he con
fused their tongues, SO that every man
spoke different language; and WIZ the

(By A. C.. Naragon.)

Ny purpose in writing this letter is to
set forth my views concerning the inspira-
ton of the Bible and some reasons why

The universe is a tremendous mystery,
beyond the power of human intellect TO
fathom it. 1t is said, "In the beginning
God CREATED the heavens and the
earth. Scientific men are saying that
the universe had no beginning; that it al
ways existed; that it is unlimited; that it
has no boundaries, and consequently no
center or circumference. To MAKE a
thing is to fashion it out of materials al
ready at hand. TO CREATE thing is to
produce it out of nothing; hence | do not
believe in the story of Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden. The human race
existed thousands of years before Adam
was made, about 5000 years ago. In
the museum at Harrisburg. Pa, are 5000
tablets dug up from the ruins of the old
city of Nippur in Asia, and the history Of
that country is written on hose tablets.
showing n dense population at the very
time when Adam was supposed to appear
on the scene. That alone is sufficient to
shatter the whole Adam scheme, as well
as the fall of man into sin. 1t is n fable
and not a scientific fact In order to patch
up that mistake, theologians Matched up
the scheme of the atonement, and Jesus
Christ was brought forward and crucifed
on the cross to reinstate the human race
