THE FUTURE OF INDIA.
1t IS Closely Related to Missionary
Zeal In This Country.

A<ChA III 4nlS OOAuJENs
That the outcome of the present un-
rest in India is to be the founding
of great nation with the principle
of a government of the people by
the people and for the people is
the optimistic belief of Rev. DR..
Homer Stuntz. This idea he set forth
in an address before the Mems Club Of
the First Presbyterian church last
night.
DR.. Stuntz was announced to speak
OD the New Africa, but when he came
before the meeting President Gore
said that he preferred to speak on the
Indian question with which he had
great familiarity from long residence
in that country. The reverend gem
tleman gave radid resume of the
history of that wonderful treasure
house of the world from the time the
Aryan tribes oyerrun the country and
established the Hindu or Brahmap
rule, followed by the conquests of the
Mohammedans, the foothold Of the
Portuguese and French and the con-
quest of the land for the English by
Lord Give in 1850 and the progress Of
the cOuntry since then.
There are now In India with its
population of 290,000,00O thirteen diff
ferent divisions or States with separ-
ate rulers, recognized by the English.
1t has $4,000 miles of railway with the
finest postal system in the world. in
cluding free delivery to every man,
parcel post, postal savings banks, ETC.,
that would be a model for this coun-
try the resources of its banks have in
creased four-fold in twenty-three
years has 2,700 newspapers is the
fourth largest wheat growing country
of the world, its wheat crop affecting
the markets of the world minerals
also abound and from one mine was
taken $3,5O0,000 worth of gold ia one
year.
In regard to the present unrest in
India DIR. Stuntz said that it was
largely the outcome of the advanced
education SO prevalent in that country
and was sign of great hope for the
future. He spoke of an Indian Con-
greSs which he attended where 2,70O
delegates, representing all sections
and all religions, gathered to discuss
the condition of their land the pro-
ceedings were in English and nearly
all understood the English language,
and a familiarity with the republican
governments of the world and of his
tory was shown. The idea of repub-
lican form of government in which the
people shall be a part is growing, and
If the people of the protestant coun-
tries do their part toward supporting
the missionaries there and encourage
the 100000 native christians there
will arise in India a government oi
| the people by the people and for the
people. The christian missionaries
hold the key to the situation and will
be important factors in working out
| the result.

COlOred Bows Had Fight.

Two colored gentlemen from the
o. r. & N. company's service enliv-
ened the scene at the depot just after
the evening trains had arrived. One
was a cook and the other a porter
on one of the incoming trains. They
had a dispute over some money and
decided to fight it out. One of the
men drew a wicked looking knife and
slashed the other about the wrist be-
fore he could be quieted. He then
gave up the knife and the two start
ed to settle their dispute with bare
fists But just as he melee began to
wax warm Agent E. F. Schuyler de-
scended upon the couple and, grab
bng each by the back of the collar,
brought the fight to a close. He then
took the demonstrating scrappers to
the freight office and there turned
them over to Chief of Police Cur
dane.
When tried in police court this
morning the two colored gentlemen
were found guilty and fined $25, each.
This sum was promptly paid.

different from any other this COM
pany has put on during their stay in
this city. Mr.. E. Forrest Taylor, a.
Burton Temple, and Miss Ida Daniels

bezzler, played their parts well. Mr..
j, E. Christie as Marshfield Craver,
Miss Bertha Natino as Mrs. Mason,
Mr.. Temples housekeeper, and Nor
man Grey as Robert Granger, the
embezzler, also deserves much credit
for the manner in which they played
their roles. Tonight the company
plays five act military drama en-
titled, For Love and Honor" A

CAR CAUGHT FIRE

There was great excitement for a
few minutes on the incoming Pendle-
ton-Walla passenger train this MORN
ing, caused by fire in the baggage
car. Fortunately the flames were ex-
tinguished before any great amount
of damage had been done.
The train was a short distance the
other side of Athena when the blaze
was first discovered and had moved
to within a mile of the station before
it could be brought to a stop. The
train crew then extinbuished the
flames, though considerable diff
Guilty was encountered
Though the origin of the fire is not
known for a certainty, it is believed
to have been caused by spark from
the locomotive which is thought to
have landed in some combustible ma
terial in the front end of the car. The
damage was confined to the wood
work, the contents of the car escap-
ing unscathed.
