Do we not find them initiating these half nude spectacles? suppose the fatEer has a passion for drink and moth CT and daugh CTS a passion for shows and each fo low their ln- clinatlon, where does it lead?
 The world moves in circle, up- ward toward the hand that flung it in space if it lives as He intended it should. If we persist in living for material good our circle is dowr- ward and we are like Jezebel brought face to face with our trans gressions. We might cite your re memberance to those of modern times besides FrancesE. Willard that gave the power of consecrated life to the world, yet no one has done so well that others might not do better as there is more evil added. Jesus said to his disciples greater things ye do than all have done. He did not want to exalt Himself and he knew Satan by falsehood had stolen the government of the human race, and he gives power to those who have wills to follow spiritual lead rs rather than material leaders. Jesus did not say greater things than l can do can you do. If we do as he tells us to do great will be the re- ward greater than we can ask. We are feeble-minded because we are not so we'll acquainted with spiritual blessings as temporal If older persons were consecrated, if they would sacrifice their temporal being in the study and adoption oi divine truth we would find our young women consecrating their lives and note the same effect on young manhood as well.

SUIT OVER DIVIDING WALL
Legate Bros. Want Fred Salyers to Pay Half on Wall Between Build
 ings- Other Cases.

Most of the time of chaucery court Monday afternoon Wa S taken up in hearing the evidence in case in which Legate Bros were sung Fred Salyers for half the cost of the wall built by the Legates, which serves as the north wall of the Salyers livery barn building, the claim being made that Salyers agreed to pa y for this halt when he built. After the evidence was all in, Judge Shaver postponed hearing the ar g uments until other cases were disposed of for which witnesses were being held.
 The case ot John Bryan, who was charged with contempt of court because he disobeyed an or der commanding him not to in- terfere with certain mining claims and properties near Acorn, was fined BPS.
 Some years ago E. A. Johnson deeded certain real estate in this city to his wife. Matrimonial troubles caused him to try to get he property back in his own name, and on the witness stand yesterday Mir. Johnson said, in support of his plea to have the deeds set aside, that they were made in the first place so that in case of his death the relatives of his son by former marriage e could not deprive Mrs. Johnson of the property.
 Mrs. Johnson filed her answer and a cross bill asking for divorce.
 Upon hearing Johnsou's state ment Judge Shaver stated that there was no use to go further into the case, as upon Johnson's own statement there was no req son shown for setting aaide the deeds under the law.
 In connection with the case Judge Shaver cited a case he tried in Texarkana where a man had agreed to deed certain property 10 his wife if she would come back and live with him. After living together a while the wom- an tried to poison her husband. After that the man sued for divorce and asked for the return of his property. Under the law Chancellor Shaver could not set aside the deed, and when taken to the Supreme court his ruling was upheld.
 Ii is understood Mrs. Johnson's suit for divorce was dropped.

NEW VENTILATING SYSTEM
Pullman Company viii Equip Its

general agent Of The Burlingtons refrig-
orator service. and will be Installed on
more than 1900 cars being built for tho
various railroads.
The new system provides for extending
a duct from the roof OF the car down the
side and opening into the car near the
level OF the lower berth through a grill.
Within the grill Is damper, enabling
the passenger to shut of the flow of r
or turn It on as he wishes. The change
OF air Is brought about by a suction ere

given its application. The motion of the
car forces the air into one opening or
