the harm done by members of
Christian nations who disregard
the teaching of their religion. But
apart from those more fragrant

of the contrast between the standard
of Christian life the New Tesla

fess to accept, and the faint efforts
we make to reach it. If you study
the history of primitive Christianity
ard no study is more profitable
than that of church history, you
will be struck by two of the causes
which greatly helped the spread of
the Gospel in the ancient world.

the lives of the early Christians,

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS

The first school visited was Peru,
in Lone Oak township. The attend

cold weather and sickness. The pu-
pills are very willing workers and
they are ready for a test any time,
and can make a good showing. The
teacher, Miss Lorelle Boughan has
$500 to spend for library books, the
proceeds Of a pie supper, which will
give them start along this line
worth while.

the library won by them in the con-
test, but they have notiobtained Dos

CAPTAIN JOHNSON
A BENEDICT.
Former Butler Boy Secretly Mar
ried in Arizona.

A secret wedding, attended by all
those surrounding circumstances of
mystery which 60 to delight the ado
lescent youth and maid and satiate
the most sordid fancies of elder low
ers OF the romantic was performed in
the city last Saturday evening, when
a prominent young business man of
Blsbee led to Hymen's alter an equal
ly prominent young woman of that
city. The marriage took place at the
residence OF Paul Bengsch at s
o'clock.
Here, however, is where the de.
tails of the affair remain clothed in
the strictest silence of the few per.
sons who witnessed the ,nuptial knots
tying, and all efforts to drag from
them the secret of the identity of the
contracting parties yesterday were
unavailing. Moreover, they declare
they will positively not tell until their
lips are Enclosed and tongues freed
by the authority of the bride and
groom.
Where the party got the marriage
license, and who married them, why
they came to Tucson-in fact, the
whole mystery surrounding their
strange procedure-are battling in
the extreme.
Shortly after the wedding the little
party was served with refreshments
at the hospitable Bengsch home. The
bride and the groom returned to Bis
bee Sunday morning. Tucson, Ariz.,
Star.
The contracting parties in the above
romantic marriage were Captain V.
M. johnson, an old Butler boy, and
Miss Mary Warner, of San Jose, Cal.
The reason for the secrecy is that the
bride is popular school teacher at
Bisbee and wished to finish the term
before making public her marriage.
Captain Johnson, who was born and
raised in Butler, is very popular here
and is meeting with success in bust.
ness at Bisbee. The bride is reported
a very charming, pretty and talented
girl.

which he resorts.

The Real Situation.

Nothing has developed in the three
sided controversy between Mr.. Had
ley, Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Folk to change
the opinion expressed yesterday, that
there would be no recount of the SEN
atorial primary ballots. Recounts are
not popular. particularly with those
who have and hold and might not
continue to have and hold if there
were any counting. The 'ins' al
ways manage to prevent it, however
apparently disingenuous their attitude
for public effect.
There was a recount in a part Of
the State in the matter Of the election
Of Lieutenant Governor last year,
but that was by special resolution n
the Legislature. That recount did
not actually settle the question Of
who had been elected, because, had
the rsmainder Of the State also been
recounted Il "a not At al unlikely tia,

MUDDYIvG THE WATERS.

A very ingenious plan of a wiley
politician is the effort of Governor
Herbert Hadley to distract attention
from the political issues that swamp
ed his party in the sixth district and
forshadowS impending disaster to
them this fall, is his fight on Senator
Stone. Inundated at his futile at
tempt TO defeat Dickinson and smart
ing under the structures made by the
senator against his extravagant ad-
ministration, he charged that Stone
won the snatorship by fraud in st.
Louis, and when pinned down for
particulars, he jumps from one state
ment to another SO fast that it is i'm
possible to keep pace with his kalei-
doscopic changes. He first said he
got his information of the St. Louis
frauds from members of the recount
ing legislative committee in the Lieut..
Governors contest. When every
member of that committee both Re-
publicans and Democrats denied the
truth Of the governors statement, he
side-stepped, without defending the
barefaced falsehoods he had been
cornered in, and challenged Senator
Stone to recount Of the St Louis
ballots on senator and asked him to
resign if such recount showed fraud.
The governor is writing columns Of
stuff each day for the edification Of
his Republican worshippers, in his
endeavors to muddy, the waters polit-
ical. When pointed out BY the besl
lawyers including the attorney gem
eIal Of the state. that the ballot boxes
could not be legally opened, he brings

East Mortified, raising a large family OF
children. Mr. Moody occupied the old
Moody homestead which was his birth
place, and his wife made it a home in
every sense of the word. Very domestic
in her tastes, she rarely went beyond
the limits of the town, her energies and
love going out to her home and church
She leaves six children, Ambert G. Of
Mortified, Julia, wife of Rev. Adam
Murryman of Shelburne, Mary, wife of
Harry Hutton of Chicago, Ruth, wife of
Joseph Davidson of Chicago, Ethel of

family, who lives in West Mortified. In
1851 she and her husband united with the
Congregational church.
The funeral was held from her home,
being largely attended by relatives and
! lifelong friends and neighbors. Beauti-
| full flowers were sent by many friends
! and their beauty and fragrance were
| typical of her life of love and sacrifice.
