GeomA8rv.

Geometry. so called from its original aplication to measuring the earth, is generally believed to have had It's ori, gin among the Egyptians. 1t prob ably sprang from the surveyors art. The annual inundation of the Nile car ried away all landmarks and bound aries. and some scientific means of set tling the disputes incidental thereto had to be devised; hence surveying, the undoubted fountainhead of geom etry. Geometry is said to have been introduced into Greece by the philoso pher Thales about the year 600 B. C. The science was cultivated by Pythag oras. through whom 1t was made pop ular in Greece, from which country 1t spread over the then known world New York American.

BRYAN DEFENDS UNIONS
AGAINST CONSIDERATIONS

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 4.-Expres-
sions of w. j. Bryan's opinion In the
Mcnamara case are set forth today
in the current issue of his periods
cal, The Commoner" 1t says:
THE Mcnamara confessions have
given enemies of union labor a
chance to libel all connected with
organized efforts to protect the wage
earners. The same men who are in
dlgnant whenever the sins OF sweat
shop owners are charged against all
manufacturers; when the crimes Of
the trust magnates are imputed to
all engaged In business; when the
vices OF Nopoleons Of finance are
laid at the door of bankers in gener-
al, are Fastening to hurl broadsides
of libel at all who are forced 10 earn
their bread by the sweat OF their
brows.
This is manifestly unfair. Or
ganized labor has learned lesson.
1t will be more careful In the fu-
ture selection OF leaders. Society
may well pause and inquire II any
thing is wrong with conditions which
lead men into dastardly conspiracies
against life and property"

JOSEPHINE AWAITS
GOOD ROADS DECISION

A number of prominent citizens
of the city are considering the ad-
visibility of asking the county court
to adjourn over until certain day
later in the month SO that In the
event the decision of the supreme
court In the Jackson county road
bonding case is handed down favor
able to that county, the county court
may be enabled to call an election to
vote good roads bonds for Josephine
county. In the event that good
roads bonds are voted, 1t will not be
necessary to appropriate the twenty
odd thousand dollars for road pur-
poses that would otherwise be need
ed. This would considerably reduce
the taxes for this year.
The Jackson county case was
argued before the supreme court to-
day and the decision will be handed
down, 1t is expected, within very
few days, as the court promised to
expedite matters by request Of both
sides.

HOUSE NEXT SUNDAY

The Violet meetings at the Chris
tian church continue to grow in in
terest. Wednesday night, seating ca
pacity of the main auditorium was
taxed to receive the numbers who
are gathering to hear the evange-
list.
Last nights sermon was upon the
theme, Forgetting God" The
speaker drew lessons from the life of
King Solomon, who, as he became
more wealthy and prosperous and
increased in power, became foolish
In that he Forgot God, was led into
idolatry and bowed in worship be-
fore the false gods of heathendom. i"
The thought of the address CEN
tered in the words of Solomon at the
close of lifetime of experience when
he said in parting advice to his son:
This is the end of the matter; all
hath been heard, fear God and keep
his commandments, for this is the
whole duty of man. For God will
bring every work. into Judgment,
with every hidden thing, whether 1t
be good or whether it be evil"
Prof. Haley's chorus choir contin-
ues to please with its singing, while
the duet sung last night by Prof.
Haley and Miss Ebert was especially
appreciated.
Arrangements have been made to
use the opera house Sunday, where
the evangelist will deliver his lecture
on birthstone Bargains" to men
The hour will be o'clock. At 1880
gp. m. the subject of the address Is
"The Misinterpreted Christ" The

is for all.
