Will Prepare Plans

The city engineer will be authorized
and instructed to prepare estimates
and plans. The route proposed will
not depart materially from that al
ready proposed over the Geary tracks
except for the addition of a double
track down Market street from Geary
to the ferry.
The supervisors will address to the
people declaration setting forth fu-
ture extensions possible to the COM
pleted municipal road, but no part of
this scheme of growth will be incor-
porated in the bond issue, itself, which.
for legal and other. reasons, the board
members wish. to- present as simple
and as compact as possible.
Mayor Taylor year ago formally
called. in question the United Rail-
roads right to the exclusive use of
lower Market street, instancing prece-
dents where the courts had brushed
aside such fictions as the Sutter COM
pany ghost. and closing his summary
of the situation in the following Ian.

The sole question is: Shall the
United Railroads be permitted to take
advantage of their own wrong, and by
trick and device be permitted to- main

THE STORY.

NEVER did the cry of the nations Of
IN modern history, 'the king is dead:
long live the king" stir loyal hearts
of the nation with sadder regrets over
the departed ruler and warm-hearted
support for the leader upon whom the
purple robe had fallen, than did the
cry, which swept over the nation of
Israel centuries before modern history
began to he made:
Jonathan is dead. Simon shall be
our leader"
Great leaders fulfill their mission
and then pass on to give place for 9TH
es. Fortunate, indeed, is that ma
tion who has a great man to step into
the place made vacant by the death of
a mighty leader
Jonathan through treachery came to
an untimely end, and his brother
Simon stepped into the breach and
gave to his nation an even greater
reign than had the former.
With great honors Jonathan was
laid in the splendid tomb at Modin
which Simon caused to be built. This
was the new leaders first task when
called to rule. And it pleased the peo-
pie, and when he had finished they
asked:
What will he now do to secure our
nation against the troubles which be-
set us on every hand?"
Such was the query on every ones
lips, and as though by way of answer
there went forth the decree from
Simon as he travelled hither and
thi.her through the realm:
"The nation is respected as far as

cities of the land be fortified. Let

The regular meeting of the Mississippi
Supervisors Association will hold in the
Senate Chamber of the New Capitol at

day, October 26th. The first day of the
session will be devoted entirely to con-
sideration of the road problem in Mis-

gested program as furnished by Secre-
tary Wilson and reproduced below that
after the report of the committee on
roads, the convention will take a recess
for the balance of the day, join with
the good roads association in a general
discussion of road problems in Missis-
sippi. On the following day, matters of
finance, taxation, legislation, paupers,
county convicts and other matters of
general interest will be taken up for
general discussion. 1t is to be hoped
that every county in the state will be
represented at this meeting. The asso-
citation has in it a great opportunity of
doing good, and each and every county
is respectfully urged to have present at
least two representatives, if not the en-

Bed MakTno,

Bed making Is an art. One should
be as careful and painstaking as DOS
sible for an illy-made bed cries out at
you in every wrinkle. The metal bed
is the most sanitary. They may be
expensive or not, as the purse per-
mits. Then have a good, easy spring
for we spend one-third of our lives in
bed, and let 1t be comfortable one.
Next, a good, comfortable mattress
made in sections. so that it may be
easily handled, and turned at least
once every other day. The sheets
should be long enough to tuck in we'll
at the bottom and turn over good
quarter of yard, or half is better, at
the top of the bedding. The subject
of the length of sheets was considered
of enough Importance to warrant a
bill being presented to a state legis-
lature to compel hotels to furnish six
foot sheets. A long sheet, If an under
one, may be folded under the mattress
at the head and foot. so keping 1t from
pulling and wrinkling. This is a very
important item in the making of a
sick bed. A long upper sheet, after
being generously tucked in at the bot
tom, leaves the half yard to fold over
the blanket and comforter, thus keep
ing them clean.
In putting on the blankets In ma.
king bed. when they are double ones
in one piece, place the open ends at
the head SO that one may be thrown
back if the covering seems too heavy.

SERMON NETTE.

Simon, one of the Maccabeean
rulers, was able to restore much
Of the oId-time prosperity and
power Of the Jewish nation, so
that it is recorded Of his reign:
"Then did they till their
ground in peace, and the earth
gave her increase, and the trees
Of the field their fruit.
"The ancient men sat all In
the streets, communing together
Of good things, and the young
nsn put on glorious and war;
like apparel.
"He (simon) provided VIC
tuaIs for the cities, and set in
them all manner of munition, so
that his honorable name was
renowned unto tho end of the
world.
"He made peace In the land,
and Israel rejoiced with great
Joy:
"For every man sat under his
vine and his fis-tree; and there
was none to fray them"
Who can say but that the
Jews at this period believed and
rejolced that the prophecy of
Micah had been fulfilled when
he said:
"They shall sit every man
under his vine and under his fig
tree; and none shall make them
afraid; for the mouth of the
Lord Of Hosts hath spoken it.
"For all people will walk
every one In the name of his
God, and will walk in the name
of the Lord our God for ever
and ever.
ain that day, saith the Lord,
will assemble her that haIteth
and will gather her that is
driven out, and her that | have
afflicted.
"And ! will make her that
halted a remnant, and her that
was cast off strong nation;
and the Lord shall reign over
them in Mount Zion from hence
forth, even forever"
And still the Jews are look
ing for great miIIenniaI bless
ing. Prophecy is full of its
promises of the time yet to
come. At various periods there
have been foretastes of the full
prophecy.
The Christian church is look
ing for the millennium. Some
with one conception as to real
meaning of Scriptura promises;
others still hold different in
depreciation.
Those poor misguided fanatics
down in the far New England
state who the other day laid
aside all worldly pursuits and
gave themselves up to the an
ticipated coming of Christ is an
extreme illustration of how
powerful an influence such hope
in the declarations of the Bible
can exert.
But the coming of the mil
lennium will not be by obser-
vation, for Christ's own word
declares that "no man knoweth
the day or the hour when the
Son of Man cometh."
That he will come he so de.
cIared, the early church be-
lieved, and many devout Bible
scholars still believe.
The promise of the complete
rule of the Lord over all the
earth has not yet been fulfilled,
but who would dare say that it
was not yet to be? Who would
dare to say that the word
spoken by the Prophet Micah
will not be literally fulfilled.
